Chapter 706: Chapter 15 Renees’ Purpose

In the depths of the dense fog on Suyuan Mountain, Alucia Faust suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Dai Wei was still puzzled when a person emerged from the thick mist.

Renice Dailun.

"Milan???"

But at this moment, Renice had a familiar smile on the corners of her mouth, and her eyes showed a depth that did not belong to her.

Somehow.

Alucia’s pupils suddenly contracted.

"Are you... Lumian?"

Renice tilted her head, the movement identical to that of Alucia’s late husband in her memory. Her voice was gentle, but it carried a certain timeless echo: "Alucia, you are still so perceptive."

Alucia’s fingers clenched, nails deeply digging into her palms: "Impossible... Lumian is already dead."

"The body may perish, but the spirit lives on." Renice—or rather, the spirit of Lumian Dailun residing in her body—spoke softly, "The Cursed Object implanted in me, known as the Great Race of Is, allowed me to transcend time, return to the past, merge with Renice’s spirit, and thus became her, subsequently leading to the historical turmoil in the Dailun Family."

Alucia’s breath almost came to a halt.

Lumian Dailun, her once-husband and the only person she had ever loved. And now, his spirit had returned in such a way, inside a woman’s body.

"Why?" Alucia’s voice was hoarse, "Why become Milan?"

A flash of complex emotion crossed Renice’s (Lumian’s) eyes: "Not Milan... you can see me as Renice Dailun. I came here because the Blood Letter Task of Suyuan Mountain must be balanced."

Beside them, Dai Wei looked completely bewildered, utterly unable to comprehend what was happening.

Renice raised her hand.

"The battle between the residents of the apartment and Hospitals 444 and 666, Dai Lin’s confrontation with Klein, Mephis and Ophelia... if the former wins, the Abyss will be completely isolated from our three-dimensional reality." Renice whispered, "If the latter wins, humanity will become puppets of the Abyss."

Then she laughed coldly.

"I cannot allow the Director to assimilate all of humanity with the Abyss, but what if the residents of the apartment win? This world will repeatedly become a playground for apartment games, but in the end, it will just switch to another curse. But to maintain the status quo, to permanently seal Pandora’s Eye here, where neither residents nor Paranormal Doctors can acquire it, the world will forever be an isolated sanatorium that even the Director cannot completely eradicate. By doing so, without permanently driving out the Director, we can continue to possess the power of the Cursed Objects, ensuring our ability to protect ourselves."

Alucia stared hard at her: "So you want everything to go on forever? To make the Director forever a Sword of Damocles above humanity’s head?"

Renice smiled: "Exactly."

Renice’s fingertip gently tapped, and the space around Suyuan Mountain suddenly distorted. Then, her figure vanished completely.

Alucia stood in place with her heart pounding.

The spirit of her beloved late husband Lumian was still within Renice, and Renice’s goal was to maintain the balance of this war forever—to not let either side win, to not let the Abyss completely descend, in exchange for humanity’s perpetual and complete mastery of the power of the Cursed Objects.

She had to make a choice.

Was she going to help Dai Lin and Hospital 444 to completely end the ambitions of the Faust Family?

Or stand by Renice (Lumian), to let everything continue forever?

Or maybe...

She looked deeper into Suyuan Mountain, where some higher-dimensional being was quietly observing everything.

The blood moon on Suyuan Mountain cracked open a fissure.

Renice stood at the mountain peak, her black hair fluttering in the wind, eyes reflecting knowledge not belonging to this era.

"Alucia," she called softly, "would you be willing to help me?"

Even across a great distance, Alucia could still hear it.

Alucia stood silently for a long time before she finally stepped forward.

"Tell me your plan."

Renice smiled and extended her hand: "To make Suyuan Mountain... an eternal prison."

...

Mephisto Faust stood at the edge of the cliff, his expression icy as ever, but his eyes burned with cold fury.

"Dai Lin..." his voice was low and dangerous, "How dare he kill my daughter!"

Ophelia walked up behind him, her Hunter’s Knife already unsheathed, the blade entwined with a bizarre blood-red glow.

Her gaze was colder than ever, yet the fingers gripping the knife were trembling slightly.

Mephis’s gaze pierced through the thick fog, looking toward the distant ruins of the collapsing Eden Hotel. At that moment, Klein was leading the doctors from the Department of Cursed Objects to the space layer where Dai Lin was.

Mephis said coldly: "Dai Lin! He must die!!!"

Ophelia’s Hunter’s Knife quivered a bit, the runes on the blade glowing bright red: "I will personally sever his head and dig out his Devil’s Eye!"

Mephis nodded and took out a pitch-black ram’s skull from his chest. It was his Cursed Object—the Skull of Seven Sins.

"Let him taste... true despair."

This ram’s skull merged into Mephis’s flesh, its energy fused with his soul.

This was his cornerstone of dominance at 666 Hospital, securing his position as the Vice Director.

Dai Lin stood in another space layer on Suyuan Mountain, the Devil’s Eye on his right side still bleeding. Forcibly sealing Pandora’s Eye had cost more than he had anticipated, and it was corroding his nerves. Moreover, he felt that Pandora’s Eye might gradually devour and replace his original Devil’s Right Eye!

He looked up at the sky, where the blood moon’s light was becoming more piercing. The space on Suyuan Mountain was distorting, as some higher-dimensional presence was approaching.

"The higher-ups of 666 Hospital must be coming."

Dai Lin’s left eye narrowed slightly—his Devil’s Eye pierced through the multiple space layers, seeing two figures rushing toward him with terrifying speed.

When the doctors from the Department of Cursed Objects captured him, Dai Lin’s neck was injected with some kind of agent, strongly suppressing his ability to neutralize Cursed Objects.

He didn’t know... how long it would take for the effects to wear off.

At this moment, he also knew the enemies he was about to face.

Mephisto Faust, the Vice Director of 666 Hospital, host of the Demon of Seven Deadly Sins.

Ophelia Faust, the top Hunter of 666 Hospital, who had once entered the High-dimensional Abyss to bring back Cursed Objects seized by the Abyss Invasion.

He had killed their beloved daughter Lelia; they would never let him go.

And at this moment, Mephis raised the ram’s skull, which instantly emitted a terrifying dark light from within the darkness.

"Pride."

In the distance, Ying Ziye’s body suddenly became rigid, her Brain Marrow Spirit Curse going out of control, unleashing a Spiritual Shock that struck Gao Menghua.

"Envy."

Xia Li’s Dimensional Curse Pattern twisted abruptly, causing him to fall to his knees in pain, with countless cracks appearing on his skin.

"Wrath."

Gao Menghua’s Spiritual Body Mutation went rampant, her arm uncontrollably transforming into a blade, slicing toward Ying Ziye.

"Greed."

Dai Lin gritted his teeth, his left eye’s Devil’s Eye operating at full force, trying to resist the invasion of the Seven Deadly Sins. But Mephis’s power was too overwhelming, and his body was gradually breaking down.

"Dai Lin." Mephis’s voice was like the whisper of the Abyss, "You killed my daughter, now... it’s time to repay."

Ophelia’s Hunter’s Knife was already raised, its blade locking onto Dai Lin’s throat through layers of void, despite him not being before her.

This blade disregarded the distances of three-dimensional space, capable of directly slashing a soul from higher dimensions.

Just as the Hunter’s Knife was about to strike, a black figure flashed by.

The position of Dai Lin, which had been locked by the greed of the Seven Deadly Sins, could no longer be pinpointed, and the blade cut through emptiness.

Then, Ophelia saw Renice appear behind her.

"Milan Dailun?"

"You can call me Lumian Dailun or Renice Dailun. To the Faust Family members," Renice chuckled, "it’s time to settle scores with you both."

Mephis’s eyes were frosty: "Renice? It seems my suspicions back then were correct."

Renice tilted her head: "Oh? You noticed?"

She lightly swiped her finger, and the space suddenly distorted, causing the dark light of Mephis’s Skull of Seven Sins to begin fading.

"Dai Lin cannot die here." she whispered, "At least... not by your hands."

Ophelia’s Hunter’s Knife raised again: "Do you think you can stop us?"

Renice smiled: "Want to try?"

Then, she gazed coldly at the two of them while also noticing that Virgil was secretly observing.

"You all... go to Hell and reunite with the Director."
