Chapter 674: Chapter 9 Cursed Spirits Transformation_2

"All of this was never supposed to happen... It’s all because of you, Salgeni Medel!"

Without this man... there would be no hospital, the director would never have been able to touch this originally three-dimensional material plane, and Wei Shirling would not have died.

It was all rooted in this man, leading to the birth of the hospital.

That man... had also once been one of the residents of that apartment.

The secrets related to him were only known to a very few, like Yin Wuque.

"Your neck..."

Feng Xiao looked at Yin Wuque’s blood-red neck and asked, "Did the skeleton directly grab your neck at that time?"

"What about it, how to reinforce the cursed object’s seal?"

"What you have is a Quasi-curse spirit at the peak of ferocious spirits, and over half of it has already begun to transform into a Cursed Spirit..."

"Do you think I don’t know this? You’re the deputy director of the Department of Cursed Objects. If even you have no solution, then let Vice Dean Fang come."

Feng Xiao looked at the Yin Wuque before him.

The latter never knew that Feng Xiao was nearly the spitting image of Han Ming.

In other words, to a certain extent, Han Ming had not died.

"From what I can see, your father still retains a part of his consciousness from when he was alive. For a Fierce Ghost, that’s possible, but for the embodiment of a Quasi-curse spirit..."

"I of course know that’s not normal!"

"Your father’s spiritual obsession is very strong. To some extent, it’s comparable to a Karmic Obstacle Ghost."

Hearing this, Yin Wuque’s mouth twitched.

"What Karmic Obstacle Ghost, my father is not a Karmic Obstacle Ghost!"

"Of course, I know he’s not. Please talk to me in detail about your father, it may help me reinforce the stability of the cursed object’s seal."

If he had a choice, Yin Wuque would not wish to discuss his father with anyone.

"Must it be this way?" Yin Wuque stared hard at Feng Xiao, "What does this have to do with reinforcing the cursed object’s seal?"

"Although you are the Vice Dean, the Department of Cursed Objects is an independent department, not under your leadership. So, right now, to me, you are just a patient, not the Vice Dean."

Feng Xiao spoke without any inclination to spare Yin Wuque’s feelings, not offering him any face.

Under such circumstances, Yin Wuque still gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, a mere incarnation, I’ll ask other Curse Object Department Doctors."

"If you insist on being Cai Huan Gong, then I won’t be any more insistent than Bian Que."

"Are you cursing me?" Hearing this, Yin Wuque instantly became angry. The classical Chinese text "Bian Que Visits Cai Huan Gong" was very famous, and he clearly remembered what end Cai Huan Gong met.

"Patients all hope that doctors are angels bringing good news, but you are a doctor too, and you should know very well that a doctor can only tell the truth. The truth often isn’t what people want to hear."

Yin Wuque forced himself to calm down.

Feng Xiao was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend. Although Fang Shen was the director of the Department of Cursed Objects, he was typically hands-off, and the one doing most of the work every day was Feng Xiao. Comparing himself to Bian Que might sound arrogant, but he truly had the capital to be arrogant.

"I understand."

Yin Wuque would never dare to joke about his own life. The number of Paranormal Doctors who had survived the implantation of Quasi-cursed items could be counted on one hand. If an uncontrollable Curse Backlash really happened, it wasn’t impossible; Yin Wuque would never gamble with his life.

"But don’t we need to do an examination first?"

"We both know... Only the ghosts at the spiritual level can be detected by hospital instruments. Quasi-curse spirits have begun to deviate from the spiritual level, transforming into the curse itself. I have always believed that it is extremely wrong to regard Quasi-curse spirits as a type of Ferocious Spirits. The two are completely different in terms of Curse Theory. It’s like in situ cancer; though it hasn’t metastasized and spread, it can no longer be considered benign."

When it came to Curse Theory, Yin Wuque indeed had no way to challenge the expertise of others. From the perspective of a surgeon, he could only determine the nature of the curse through the reports provided by the Department of Cursed Objects. But for them, how to decipher Curse Theory was completely baffling. The determination of whether Quasi-curse spirits were considered Ferocious Spirits wasn’t from Curse Theory, rather, it was more from the methods of treatment.

"How close is a Quasi-curse spirit to a Cursed Spirit?"

In fact, this was a question Yin Wuque had always wanted to know.

However, the Department of Cursed Objects would never communicate with clinical departments; even if clinical doctors wanted to learn, the Department of Cursed Objects would not teach them. Surgeons like Jiang Licheng, who possessed knowledge of both clinical and cursed objects, were already the exception among exceptions.

In fact, he had always wanted to know...

Why were Quasi-curse spirits keen on creating a large number of splits? And what was the process of transformation from Quasi-curse spirits to Cursed Spirits like?

For clinical doctors, it’s completely impossible to differentiate the two, and they could only rely on the Department of Cursed Objects for diagnosis. This was quite a headache for the clinical doctors.

"Director Yin, the basic rule of our Department of Cursed Objects is that we don’t teach medical knowledge related to cursed objects to other departments. If you want to research, you can only self-study; we won’t stop you from researching in this area."

Self-study?

Yin Wuque smirked self-deprecatingly. Where did he get such ability?

The Department of Cursed Objects was a very independent department; even clinical doctors didn’t know how the cursed objects stable for implantation or for patient consumption could be produced as if on an assembly line.

It was for this reason that every clinical doctor wanted to learn information about cursed objects from the Curse Object Department Doctors. Han Ming, too, had gone so far as to snatch Feng Xiao’s body and turned him into "Han Ming’s split." But even so, Feng Xiao and Han Ming could not share memories, and the former would not reveal complicated knowledge regarding Curse Theory to the latter.

"I don’t have the ability to self-study. Don’t mock me, Director Feng."

Afterwards...

Yin Wuque could only talk about his father’s matters.

"You just asked me why Quasi-curse spirits create splits, right? That, I can answer, as it doesn’t involve Curse Theory."

Yin Wuque listened and was instantly invigorated.

"Wait a moment, let me take some notes."

"The content I’m about to discuss is from my new research paper that’s about to be published. Once the paper is released, you can download and save it, no need to record it. Simply put, Quasi-curse spirits... No, I should say, after Ferocious Spirits turn into Quasi-curse spirits, they gradually transform from evil spirits into the curse itself. During this process, the Spiritual Body will progressively transform into a type of rule."

"Rule?"

"The essence of a rule means that it won’t have emotions, nor will it have a sense of good and evil. I need to explain to you that this isn’t what you call absolute evil; it’s just a rule."

"So you’re saying it’s not chaotic evil, but lawful evil?"

"That’s one way to put it. A Fierce Ghost can kill as many people as it wants, but it won’t be as restricted as a Cursed Spirit. Even at the level of a Cursed Spirit, it won’t harm any life other than humans. A Cursed Spirit is a curse that is a rule aimed solely at humans."

"Just like that apartment."

"Yes... Because of this, Quasi-curse spirits will fall into a foolish and ignorant state where their cognitive abilities will gradually be lost, and the characteristics of a spiritual body will be replaced by rules. All Cursed Spirits will no longer have a real will of their own but will be purely integrated with the curse."

"Then... could it be..." Yin Wuque wasn’t foolish; he had roughly understood what Feng Xiao was trying to say, "Is this the reason why they need to create splits?"

"Yes, that’s why Quasi-curse spirits need splits. The splits, though weak, are not as restricted, and they can retain the intense murderous intent of evil spirits, as well as a complete sense of self. Before transforming into a Cursed Spirit, the role of splits is significant! After all, you know... as long as it hasn’t turned into a true Cursed Spirit, then to us, it can’t be considered truly invincible!"
