Hospital 444
Chapter 688 - 20: Dai Lin’s Return

Chapter 688: Chapter 20: Dai Lin’s Return

A pitch-black corridor.

This corridor will never be lit.

At the end of this corridor lies the most forbidden place of 666 Hospital: the Director’s office.

There is only one person who can walk this pitch-black passage, and that is the hospital’s Vice Director.

At this moment, Vice Director Mephisto Faust slowly emerged from the pitch-dark passage.

At the other end of the corridor, several people were waiting for his arrival.

"The decisive moment is almost upon us."

Mephisto, with a chilling face that commanded authority without anger, spoke to his son Klein, son-in-law Virgil, and others: "The Director has issued an order: from now on, kill everyone in the hospital who does not have a black inverted cross on their forehead, no exceptions."

"Yes!" said Klein. "I will give the orders immediately!"

"All of them?" Virgil asked, puzzled. "Father, just to be safe, I must ask, your order doesn’t include patients, does it?"

"Includes."

Virgil’s pupils dilated in shock.

"Huh?"

"The hospital no longer needs patients."

Virgil hastily said, "At least let the patients be discharged..."

"It’s too much trouble," Mephisto replied coldly. "Those aberrations mixed in with the patients will bring disadvantageous factors for us; discharging patients would require identifying them one by one, wasting time and effort. From this moment on, anyone without an inverted cross on their forehead, whether they are a doctor, nurse, or patient, shall be executed. Implement it immediately."

Virgil felt a grinding pressure on his teeth while Klein patted him on the shoulder and said, "After the Director invades the time layers of the Outer World, all humans will become part of the Abyss; there’s no difference between dying now or later."

Virgil felt his face turn pale.

His rationale had been refusing to accept this cruel possibility.

...

"Starting now, issue an order. Doctors and nurses who receive a black inverted cross on their forehead are strictly forbidden to seek treatment in the Demons Department."

Yin Wuque had called another meeting.

This time, the heads of all departments, including surgery, internal medicine, and even the morgue, gathered together.

"This is a rule of the hospital!" Mei Quzhen, the head of the Evil Ghost Department, was the first to object.

"This rule was not established by the Director and will be completely abolished. Remember, we only need to obey the Director’s orders, and I, Yin Wuque, am the Director’s first proxy. Everyone can now log onto the official hospital website, the Director has posted a pinned message, appointing me, Yin Wuque, as acting Director. In other words... besides the other two Vice Directors, I can unilaterally dismiss any doctor!"

The doctors quickly took out their phones to check the message.

Indeed, the Director had posted a pinned message!

The title was "Appointment of Executive Deputy Director Yin Wuque as Acting Director in the interim."

Yin Wuque now actually had the power to hire or fire doctors and nurses without having to report to the Director???

When Paranormal Doctors are dismissed, their fate is death! So every Paranormal Doctor desperately tries to reduce the death toll of their patients!

And now...

Yin Wuque has actually become the acting Director?

With just one sentence, he can easily kill any doctor!

"We naturally obey Director Yin’s orders!"

"Director Yin is wise and all-conquering; the hospital’s future is surely radiant!"

"Director Mei, Director Yin has already given his order; you should just obey!"

Mei Quzhen clenched his teeth but had no choice but to comply.

Confronting Yin Wuque now is a path to certain death, with just a single word, he could have you dismissed immediately.

Yin Wuque watched as everyone meekly complied, finally feeling completely at ease.

In the current state of the hospital, who would dare to disobey an order from Yin Wuque? To oppose him was to court death!

"Alright, the next matter pertains to Suyuan Mountain."

As Yin Wuque spoke, he looked towards Fang Zhou.

"Director Fang," he said to Fang Zhou: "I will assemble a medical team and head to Suyuan Mountain on Halloween. I want you to lead the team."

Had it been before, there would have been definite dissension.

After all, Fang Zhou was a latecomer, shifting from the Fierce Ghost Department to the Evil Spirit Department. In terms of seniority, even Li Bolin, the deputy director of the Evil Spirit Department, would take precedence over him!

But now, anyone with a clear understanding wouldn’t dare incur Yin Wuque’s bad side. The man is now the acting director, after all!

"Yes," Fang Zhou knew that Yin Wuque had already decided, and he could not refuse.

Was Yin Wuque unaware of Fang Zhou’s lack of prestige? He knew all too well. It’s precisely because Fang Zhou lacks authority that he won’t be able to command the people below him, preventing them from banding together to rebel. These people all have their own agendas, with very few sincerely submitting to him. Time is short now, and it is imperative to ensure they don’t unite and conspire to overthrow him. Suyuan Mountain is extremely dangerous, not to mention the Eden Hotel. Relying on these people to perform their duties sincerely is unrealistic. Instead, using Fang Zhou, who harbors his desires, might actually prove effective.

Their enemies are the apartment residents, against whom any attempt at violence assures certain death. Thus, the Demon Cursed Item that Sargeni once hunted... to be precise, because a high-dimensional existence like a demon would inevitably appear in a stable form like a Cursed Object when entering the three-dimensional material world... if the Demon Cursed Item falls into the hands of the residents, it becomes impossible to retrieve.

Fortunately, there are quite a few Paranormal Doctors among the residents now. With the authority of the acting director, he isn’t afraid that they won’t comply, as long as they don’t have the capability to kill him instantly.

As long as the Demon Cursed Item falls into his hands, then by integrating his body—which has been assimilated into an Abyssal Thing by the director—into the Demon Cursed Item, it will pave an easy path for the Director to invade the temporal layers of the Outer World, as simple as turning over one’s hand!

At that point, Shi Ling will be revived, and just like himself, will become a part of the great, indescribable Abyssal being that is the Director, attaining true eternal existence!

"Wait a second, Director Yin! There’s another top announcement from the official channel!"

"Yes, this... Dr. Dai?"

Yin Wuque was stunned.

A brand-new top announcement had appeared.

The title was "Appointment of former Resentful Spirit Department physician Dai Lin as the new Executive Vice President of the hospital."

Everyone clicked to open it and saw a clear photo of Dai Lin immediately.

Executive Vice President!

"Executive Vice President!"

"Dai Lin?"

"He was just a attending physician not long ago, wasn’t he?"

Yin Wuque’s face turned sour.

If the Devil’s Eye in Dai Lin’s possession were to be acquired by Hospital 666, the Hospital 666 doctors would become his greatest support during the showdown at Suyuan Mountain. Now, to make matters worse, Dai Lin has actually returned!

"Kill him for me!"

Yin Wuque snapped in an instant, slamming his hand on the table with force!

"Whoever sees him at Hospital 444, kill him immediately! Then bring his corpse to me!"

The whole room fell silent.

Assassinate the Executive Vice President???

Do they think it’s like killing a chicken?

But they also knew that once Yin Wuque gave an order, they had to obey!

The next moment...

Dai Lin appeared inside Hospital 444.

"Finally... I’m back!"
