Hospital 444
Chapter 692: After modification - 4 Curse Spirit

Chapter 692: After modification: Chapter 4 Curse Spirit

When Yin Wuque died, Xia Li was walking down the hospital corridor.

He felt that a huge change was about to come...

Memory, gradually returning to the beginning... when Mu Ziwei first took out the business card of Hospital 444 in front of him...

"What is this?"

It was at the Bai Family Mansion, the so-called "Puppet House," known as the "Hell Entrance."

But in retrospect, the term "Hell Entrance" was not precise... The Yellow Springs World people imagine, where the dead go, is not a stable space like the three-dimensional world; rather, it’s a more void-like existence.

A presence above high dimensions.

Under normal circumstances, when a person dies, their ghost enters this high-dimensional cycle and may transform into a new soul structure, reincarnating into the three-dimensional space.

This process is similar to the commonly mentioned world of the dead. But even Hospital 444 can only observe a tiny part of the high-dimensional world, a part known as the Abyss.

What is truly terrifying is the curse known as memes. A formidable existence that can disregard the rules of both high and low dimensions, capable of overthrowing everything.

At the level of the Abyss, curse memes can exist in a nameless yet barely perceptible state recognized by humans.

At that time, they entered the Bai Family Mansion to explore the origin of that terrifying nameless presence. The Blood Letter Task of the apartment was... to find the so-called first puppet. Back then, the three strongest residents of the apartment were Dong Xie, Mu Ziwei, and Xia Li.

"This thing is a business card from the Supernatural Hospital, Hospital 444."

Dong Xie was stunned, and Xia Li had a baffled expression.

"What... What did you just say? A supernatural hospital? Are you talking about a haunted hospital?"

"No. Look closely, it’s a hospital that can treat ghost curses. This is why Li Ruochu sealed this nameless thing; the people who helped him were doctors from Hospital 444."

It was a red business card with a black cross on it.

Completely different from the regular red cross of hospitals.

"This hospital is our only hope now."

...

For a long time, whenever the hospital intervened in the apartment’s Blood Letter Tasks, the doctors involved would inevitably meet a dead-end. But, things are different now. The connections to the entrances of the Five Great Hells are continuously opening, leading the apartment to be less strict in controlling the doctors who interfere in the Blood Letter Tasks, which is why Yin Wuque was able to save Xia Li.

"I never would have thought that the origin of everything, that ’it,’ is actually the Director."

No...

The Director is just a title.

"It" is a terrifying existence far beyond imagination. The thirtieth floor of the apartment itself connects to the high-dimensional Abyss. So, from the very beginning... everything was about coming to this outer world.

This is the game of the apartment and "it."

Only by coming to this outer world and breaking free from the apartment’s restraints can "it" gain freedom.

For this reason, Jiushiu Lv transformed into a part of "it."

This is the state Yin Wuque longed for, undying and immortal, assimilated with the Abyss.

Therefore, all the evil spirits within the Puppet House Bai Residence are malevolent ghosts!

...

Yin Wuque’s head was shot through by a bullet.

This was not an ordinary bullet, but a cursed object.

The moment he died, Dai Lin realized something was wrong.

The room turned blood-red again.

Impossible?

Shouldn’t the cursed object have been sealed?

The next moment, most areas within the hospital were shrouded in a blinding red light. The doctors soon discovered that numerous skeletons began to appear!

All of them were red skeletons!

"Curse... cursed spirits!"

Everyone could tell these were real curse spirits!

Identifying a cursed spirit is very easy.

Because a cursed spirit is not a true undead but the root of the curse itself, no longer possessing any characteristics of a living soul; experienced paranormal doctors can tell with one glance.

Cursed spirits... are invincible!

And everyone could see that the source of this cursed spirit was the Dead Soul Tomb!!!

In less than a second, over thirty doctors and nurses in the hospital had died!

In the face of a cursed spirit, paranormal doctors and ordinary people are indistinguishable!

"Yin Wuque, you son of a bitch!!!"

The surviving doctors knew that their deaths were only a matter of time.

Cursed spirits entering the hospital is a devastating blow! The hospital is about to face utter despair!

No one knows how many will die!

Therefore, the surviving doctors almost without hesitation, teleported out of the hospital one by one!

Luckily, at this stage, the cursed spirit hadn’t sealed off the hospital’s space, and some people could still escape.

One of those who successfully escaped was Xia Li.

The place he returned to was naturally the apartment.

"That was close, almost died in the hospital..."

Staying in the apartment is absolutely safe.

"But it’s a cursed spirit; I can’t stay in the apartment forever!"

Xia Li looked at his own hand.

Just now, his arm was almost grabbed by the cursed spirit.

Just a little bit more!

"Cursed spirit..."

Cursed spirits are not single spiritual bodies but complete curses! The source of cursed spirits, according to the official terminology in Mysterious Medicine, is memes!

It is worth mentioning that, according to the hospital’s records, this apartment is the most terrifying meme in history. The so-called cursed spirit is a joke in front of the apartment.

"The more I study in the hospital, the more I realize the extreme terror of this apartment..."

Subsequently, someone came to him.

It was Ying Ziye.

"Miss Ying?"

Ying Ziye looked at him and said, "All the patients in the hospital... are dead."

This was no surprise.

The paranormal doctors could still escape.

But the patients had no way out in front of the cursed spirit.

"That is the Dead Soul Tomb, the complete unsealing of the cursed object within Yin Wuque’s body!"

Once the cursed object in Yin Wuque’s body is completely unsealed, the quasi-curse spirit will turn into a pure cursed spirit!

In the face of a cursed spirit, escape is the only option; the doctors from the Department of Cursed Objects are helpless as well.

"So what should we do next?"

After all, Hospital 444 is a Supernatural Hospital, so even if a cursed spirit appears in the hospital, there are ways to deal with it.

But this would require turning all the existing outpatient and inpatient floors into isolation zones, permanently sealing off access to the inner hospital spaces and creating new treatment areas. But even so, it takes time, and if the doctors can’t escape in time, they’re dead too.

Cursed spirits can instantly envelop every inch of the hospital; within three to five seconds, all the hospital space will be completely sealed, and no doctor will be able to escape.

Thus, the hospital can only sacrifice all the doctors who fail to escape in time.

Then, after isolating the cursed spirit, they would have to recruit new doctors.

After all, encountering a cursed spirit invasion is a once-in-a-century event, and the hospital never had a Department for Cursed Spirits.

The problem is, how long will it take to completely isolate the cursed spirit in the inner spaces?

The hospital has nearly infinite layers of deep spaces that can be used as isolation wards. A cursed spirit of this danger level will be subjected to absolute isolation, meaning it will be isolated to other parallel time layers disconnected from the hospital space. Unless the cursed spirit surpasses high dimensions, it must be completely isolable.

But this process takes time. Moreover, if a small chance occurs where permanent isolation is not possible, it’s also a possibility. If that is the case, the Director might have to establish a new hospital.

How long it will take to complete the isolation is uncertain.

"For now, all we can do is wait. There are no other options."

Ying Ziye couldn’t shake the feeling...

At least, Dai Lin wouldn’t die.

At this moment, in the hospital.

Dai Lin looked at Yin Wuque’s corpse, his eyes filled with intense rage.

"Yin Wuque! You beast!"

"You deserve to die!"

The Department of Cursed Objects has a special authority to pre-correct the curse technique that the Executive Deputy Director can apply for.

It’s a method triggered under certain conditions that can deactivate the curse technique in advance.

Dai Lin can make the cursed object ineffective because he can alter the technique and soul structure. However, once the technique completely fails in an instant, if the cursed object were released and turned into a cursed spirit, Dai Lin wouldn’t be able to seal it back.

Dai Lin felt bitter inside!

Even the Saint Fighters fought through the Twelve Palaces one by one.

But for him, he had just started dealing with ordinary Ferocious Spirits, then quickly moved to quasi-cursed spirits, and now, directly confronting a cursed spirit!

"Fighting a cursed spirit? Seriously?"

No doubt about it, he couldn’t win!

He teleported away immediately!

Dai Lin quickly used spatial teleportation to escape the hospital with Dr. Gao Menghua!

Luckily, they escaped in time!

Almost the next moment, the hospital was completely occupied by the cursed spirit!

...

In the darkness, within the eerie mansion.

This was the Puppet House, the Bai Family Mansion.

Once, countless people flocked here to find the owner of the Bai Family.

It’s said that no matter what wish you had, as long as you could afford it and brought a body, you could obtain a puppet from the Bai Family.

This puppet could fulfill your wish.

Countless people had come here.

There was once a man named Li Ruochu who wanted to create a world that rewarded good and punished evil.

He got a puppet and created a "Divine Country" where good and evil were truly judged.

At that time, he didn’t know that these puppets...

were something even the Department of Cursed Objects couldn’t create...

cursed spirits!

Each puppet originated from memes and could create a powerful Ghost Domain.

In the past, people from the hospital tried to get these cursed spirits but failed.

Now, this was the Bai Family’s puppet workshop.

Dai Lin was startled to find himself here.

"Huh? Where is this place?"

On the shelves in the puppet workshop, there were puppets. Most of them looked like unfinished products.

Quickly, Dai Lin realized the danger here.

An unprecedented sense of danger began to haunt him!

The Devil’s Eye instantly scanned the surroundings.

Each puppet, he observed, had a structure similar to cursed objects, but fundamentally different.

Rather than techniques, it was...

pure curses!

"This is..."

"Cursed spirit objects???"
