Chapter 70: Chapter 11 Taboo Curses (3rd update, please subscribe! please subscribe!)

Inside Gao Heyan’s clinic room.

The words of Dai Lin caused a dramatic change in the middle-aged man’s complexion, as he gasped sharply, but he continued to shake his head, "You’re talking nonsense, you’re talking nonsense!"

"Is he speaking the truth?" Gao Heyan reminded, "This is a hospital, not a police station. Even if you killed someone, I won’t do anything to you. As long as you pay the Spiritual Therapy Points, I’m obliged to treat you. However, if you don’t clarify the whole story, it will affect the treatment."

The middle-aged man then stood up, shaking his head desperately, "That’s not true! Can you, can you treat me or not?"

Dai Lin looked at the middle-aged man, his expression turning incredibly cold.

And Gao Heyan said, "If you’re not willing to cooperate, then there’s nothing I can do."

"Hey, what are you babbling about?" the middle-aged man pointed to his shoulder, "Doesn’t it say on the business card that you can cure it? Do I really have to clarify the origin of the ghost?"

Then, Gao Heyan crossed his hands and let out a cold laugh.

"Dr. Dai just now said that you killed your wife, he didn’t say it was this ghost. Now, are you admitting to it without being pressed?"

The middle-aged man’s face turned ashen. He hurriedly opened the door of the clinic room and rushed out!

Dai Lin was about to chase after him but was held back by Gao Heyan.

"Let him go. He fled on his own accord, not because I refused treatment. According to the hospital director’s rules, no one can blame me for this."

"That’s true..." Dai Lin felt relieved, "Just for his wife’s property, he killed her. After killing his wife, he still pretended to be a good man worried about his missing wife in front of everyone."

"We often encounter such patients in clinical practice. You’ll get used to it."

Leaving Hospital 444 as a patient is very simple. Just find any nurse, and they can exile you back to the real world.

At this time, in the corridor outside the clinic room, Song Min was passing by with Ying Ziye and Xia Li.

"The two of you... I’ll take you to the duty room for doctors first, then get familiar with..."

At that moment, the middle-aged man happened to come charging over towards Song Min and the others!

The man lunged at Ying Ziye, yelling, "Get out of my way!"

At this moment, something astonishing happened.

When Ying Ziye had the thought of stopping the man, a blood-red pattern suddenly appeared on her forehead!

The pattern was a large, bleeding eye!

Upon seeing that eye, the middle-aged man was instantly terrified out of his wits and then immediately lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground!

And Ying Ziye, looking at the man who had fallen to the ground, remembered what Yin Wuque had said.

"The ’Brain Marrow Spirit Curse’ that was implanted in you in the past is a forbidden cursed object from our Department of Cursed Objects, extracted from the brain of a karma-inflicted ghost, and it is too dangerous and uncontrollable to be listed as a forbidden cursed object. You have successfully integrated this cursed object, which grants you a strong persistent soul. If you die, the persistence will enable the karma of the karma-inflicted ghost to preserve your soul."

"But if it’s only the soul that’s preserved, what about my body?"

"That’s a complicated matter... Um, how should I explain this to you? You know about the folk idea of scapegoats, right? Of course, it’s a bit different from that. Simply put, so-called karma leads this Curse of Karma to curse and possess someone with a similar body to yours. Once the person possessed by your Curse of Karma dies, they become your scapegoat, and your body can return from the dead, allowing you to resurrect."

"Then... then, Vice Director Yin, am I alive or dead now?"

"We’re all called mimic ghosts, existing between life and death. You don’t need to obsess over this question."

At the end of the day’s clinical work, as closing time arrived and Dai Lin was about to leave, Gao Heyan suddenly said to him, "Let’s leave together."

"Together?"

"If you act as the main body to teleport me back to the real world, then I can go to W City with you," Gao Heyan said, taking out a hair tie and putting her hair into a ponytail, "I’m coming with you to investigate the matter of your brother."

"Dr. Gao? You do know it’s dangerous, right?"

"You’re aware of the danger, that’s good. I can’t let you die," Gao Heyan, after tying her hair, raised her hand and pointed to Dai Lin’s eyes, "I need you to survive and be well. To keep you alive, I’d even take a bullet for you, if I must."

Paranormal Doctors have one major weakness: many of their cursed objects need to be triggered actively, and won’t activate passively. In other words, without triggering their cursed objects, their vitality and physical defense are the same as ordinary people. Theoretically, an assassination with a bullet can indeed kill a significant number of Paranormal Doctors.

Of course... Dai Lin is definitely an exception. His Devil’s Eye certainly has the ability to be triggered passively.

"Dr. Gao," Dai Lin hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I truly appreciate this, but..."

"Don’t thank me. I don’t want your gratitude," Gao Heyan quickly shook her head, "I’m doing all this willingly."

Honestly, if one didn’t know the context, listening to this conversation, they might think Gao Heyan was deeply infatuated with Dai Lin.

"I won’t forget your favor," Dai Lin knew what Gao Heyan wanted to hear was the following, "Rest assured, if I’m capable when the time comes, I will definitely save your sister."

Gao Heyan nodded, showing a rare smile, "I’ll hold you to that."

W City, Yanchi District, Yanchi High School.

This was a boarding high school, so here, it was possible to meet Dai Wei’s classmates.

"He said An Minglu was his deskmate, but he might be lying." Dai Lin said to Gao Heyan beside him, "Would the Demons Department doctors come here to investigate?"

"Typically, doctors treat based on the patient’s reported medical history without any additional fee for making house calls, so they wouldn’t normally investigate outside the hospital," Gao Heyan explained, looking at the high school, "But will the gatekeeper stop us from going in?"

"Probably not. This isn’t a key high school, the management isn’t very strict."

Afterwards, the two of them walked into the school gate like this.

Among Dai Wei’s classmates, Dai Lin only knew one person, a student called Wei Ming.

However, he didn’t have Wei Ming’s mobile number.

"You haven’t been to this school before, have you?"

"No."

Just then, Dai Lin noticed several police officers walking through the campus.

Dai Lin immediately realized that they were very likely there to take statements.

As the officers approached closer, Dai Lin immediately walked up to them.

"Officer," Dai Lin quickly said, "I’m a relative of a student from this school. May I ask what incident has occurred here?"

The officer stopped, gave Dai Lin a look and said, "You two aren’t parents of the students, right? This is a high school; I presume you’re not that old."

"Oh, that’s right," Dai Lin immediately replied, "I’m the brother of a student here."

The other party seemed to be highly alert. Even though Dai Lin said this, the officer still had a suspicious look in his eyes.

"Oh, we’re here to investigate a case that happened off the school grounds. Don’t worry, your brother or sister is fine."

Like that, the conversation could not continue.

To keep asking questions could cause suspicion.

Just as they were about to leave, one of the officers suddenly received a call.

The officer picked up the phone and asked, "Hello, Xiao Ye? How’s it going over there? Oh, good."

Gao Heyann watched the officer on the phone, then suddenly lifted her hand and briskly swept over the back of the officer’s head.

To others, it appeared as if she had merely lifted her hand to stretch.

Subsequently, Gao Heyann pulled Dai Lin to the back of the school building.

"You told that murderer before that you could read his memories with just a single hair, right?"

Before Dai Lin could respond, she had already taken out a hair.

"The hair of that police officer from just now."

Dai Lin was greatly surprised: "You plucked out a hair and he didn’t feel anything?"

"I am a Paranormal Doctor." Gao Heyann rolled up her sleeve to reveal the ghost-face tattoo: "Did you think I just had it embroidered for looks?"

Dai Lin took the hair and was about to put it in front of his right eye when Gao Heyann suddenly asked again, "Wait a moment, did you feel anything when you saw those officers just now?"

"You mean..."

"You only met Lin Yan once and could tell she was cursed by a Devil. How about those officers just now?"

Dai Lin shook his head.

"No, I didn’t feel anything. It was the same with Dai Wei before; I couldn’t detect it either."

Hearing this, Gao Heyann fell into thought.

"Alright, swallow the hair for now."

Just then, Gao Heyann’s phone started to ring.

She took the phone, and it was a call from Yin Wuque.

As a result, she stepped aside and answered the phone.

"Hello, brother-in-law."

After work, she would call Yin Wuque "brother-in-law."

"Regarding the matter with Dai Lin’s brother, I’ve got a rough understanding. Warn him, and I mean earnestly, neither you nor he should ever privately contact any doctor from the Demons Department. Not a single one!"

Of course, Gao Heyann knew why Yin Wuque was so anxious.

"I understand... brother-in-law..."

"The gateway to hell has opened in the human world. Now is the most dangerous time for us. In the upcoming year, a lot of people will die in Hospital 444, both patients and doctors. It’s going to be very dangerous. I’ve told you this repeatedly. Before that, we must wake your sister."

Gao Heyann knew that her brother-in-law was not exaggerating.

In the next year, Hospital 444 would be facing calamities beyond imagination.

The curses suffered by the patients they were about to face would be beyond any they had previously dealt with.

However, they had no choice; the dean had bound every one of them. No matter the danger, they would have to perform their duties.

By then, spirits far more terrible than the malevolent ones would appear!
