Hospital 444
Chapter 85 - 26 Another Hospital

Chapter 85: Chapter 26 Another Hospital

Lindong Road is a relatively short road in W City, so there’s only one FamilyMart.

Before going there, Dai Lin used the Devil’s Eye at a distant location to see through the store remotely. After a careful look, nothing seemed unusual.

With Tang Li’s cursed object’s ability, turning anything into cash would be a piece of cake.

For her to resort to such a roundabout way to entrust this to him, even explicitly stating not to tell Gao Heyann, it could be deduced that she was likely under surveillance and thus unable to hand it over in person.

Her only trust was in him, was it because he had just joined the hospital? But this reasoning didn’t hold up; she must be aware of his close relationship with Vice-President Yin Wuque. She insisted that he shouldn’t tell anyone, including Gao Heyann. Besides, according to her, this was Dr. Gao’s sister’s request. Then it made no sense to keep it even from her own sister.

Therefore, Dai Lin also had to consider another possibility: Though Tang Li was a subordinate of An Zhiyuan and had a good relationship with Dr. Gao’s sister in the past, it was just that, the past. Moreover, this incident happened right after Han Ming made the deal with him. Dai Lin couldn’t help but make some connections.

Could this be a conspiracy?

Perhaps the other party didn’t want Dai Lin to actively contact Yin Wuque and the others just to ensure the success of their plot.

But now, when he tried to call Tang Li again, she was not picking up the phone.

Should he call Dr. Gao and discuss what to do next?

Dai Lin thought for several minutes, constantly weighing the pros and cons of the situation.

To go, or not to go?

Logical thinking suggested that not going was the safer option.

However, after much deliberation, Dai Lin also realized an issue.

The Devil in his right eye was always a persistent nightmare. And this Devil was clearly tied in myriad ways to that map fragment, which was undeniable. Regardless of which side Tang Li was on, this fact was indisputable.

Han Ming should have no reason to harm him now. Otherwise, summoning him out tonight would have been entirely superfluous and senseless.

For him, saving his brother and sealing the Devil in his right eye were his top priorities at the moment.

By getting better control of this Devil’s Eye, both his objectives could be achieved.

He decided to take a gamble.

Dai Lin finally made up his mind.

Honestly, he didn’t like this feeling, as gambling meant entrusting his fate to the unknown. Only when he became stronger would he no longer need to gamble.

At present, he was too weak, and as such, he was forced to make these kinds of life-risking deals with significant figures like Han Ming.

As for whether to keep it a secret afterward, as Tang Li had said, he would decide later.

When he got close to the FamilyMart, Dai Lin didn’t detect any new dangers with his left eye, which was a relief.

At least he wouldn’t encounter any more terrible curses here.

Dai Lin began to close the distance to the convenience store incrementally while making full use of his eyes’ penetrative and long-distance vision abilities.

Finally, he could see clearly the cash drawer inside the convenience store.

However, from this angle, he couldn’t tell whether the map fragment was there.

After entering the convenience store, Dai Lin approached the cashier, took out his wallet, and pulled out two fifty-dollar bills, saying, "Can you change these into a hundred-dollar bill for me? If not, I’ll buy something else."

The cashier was quite amicable and took the two fifty-dollar bills, saying, "Sure. It’s becoming rarer for people to use cash these days."

She opened the cash drawer, and Dai Lin immediately saw the map fragment pinned on top of a stack of hundred-dollar bills!

"I’ll take this one!"

Thus, the cashier gave Dai Lin that map fragment.

For Dai Lin, getting this item for a hundred dollars was a big win.

It indeed was a fragment of a hand-drawn map.

After acquiring the item, Dai Lin quickly left the convenience store.

Just by seeing the map fragment for an instant, Dai Lin noticed that his right eye could swallow up another part of the Devil’s body!

It seemed to have a significant connection to this map fragment!

Could it be... if all the map fragments were gathered, the Devil within the right eye’s space could be completely sealed?

...

Tang Li was constantly moving towards the commercial district in the center of W City.

Last time, she didn’t take an ambulance back to the hospital, so when she returned to the real world, she found herself back in W City. Of course, she didn’t mind much, as W City was quite close to the town she lived in. She had always wanted to travel to W City anyway.

But when she realized she suddenly couldn’t return to the hospital and no corresponding ghostly number appeared on her palm...

She faintly sensed something.

She was probably being targeted.

That map fragment... It wasn’t safe to give it to anyone.

Inside the hospital... there was a mole.

She didn’t know who the mole was; theoretically, it could be anyone.

After weighing her options, the least likely was Dai Lin, who had just joined the hospital.

It didn’t matter which faction he belonged to – factional conflicts were the hospital’s internal issues. But those moles... they were a completely different matter.

Tang Li now found herself unable to return to the hospital, and she had also noticed... someone had been following her all this time.

When she went to the convenience store, to avoid raising suspicion, she purposefully chose a pack of sanitary pads – that way, nothing seemed out of place.

At that moment, a shopping mall appeared ahead of her.

She hoped to lose her followers amidst the crowd inside.

Currently, she couldn’t call for help from the hospital unless there was an emergency; no one could make it to W City in time to save her. As for Dai Lin, there was no hope to be had from a mere intern.

But just as she was about to enter the mall, something felt off.

Then, she felt darkness envelop her vision, and her body collapsed!

Just as she was about to fall, a person approached from behind and caught her.

"Director Dave," the person said to Dave behind him, "shall we... take her back for interrogation?"

"Tarot divination has confirmed it," Dave approached the unconscious Tang Li and said, "She has the fourth map fragment on her. It seems she’s realized we were tracking her... Regardless, William, we need to interrogate her."

"Yes, Director Dave."

At this point, William suddenly added, "Director Dave, should we make contact with... our informant? Just in case she’s already hidden it somewhere, we could put her back and then have the informant find a way to get it?"

"Not for now. They say informant, but after all, they are not one of our kind. I... don’t trust them."

A person who could betray once could certainly betray a second time.

People were coming and going at the entrance of the mall, but it seemed that no one could see these three people.

When Tang Li woke up, she found herself lying in a pitch-dark room.

"Where is this..."

"America, Illinois."

Tang Li suddenly heard an awkwardly accented Chinese from behind her.

She immediately turned around and then saw a cellphone resting on a fireplace behind her.

The voice was coming from it.

"You can’t return to Hospital 444, Doctor Tang Li. Let me introduce myself... My name is Dave Prin, head of the Dark Demon Surgery at 666 Hospital. I know you are a deputy chief physician, but here, you could die at any moment."

Hospital!

"666 Hospital..." Hearing this name, Tang Li was extremely startled, "Did you just say you are a doctor from 666 Hospital?"

Compared to that, being brought to America was hardly surprising at all.

The curtains in the room were all drawn at this moment; she was sitting on the sofa and couldn’t move.

"This is a haunted house cursed by demons," continued Dave’s voice. "I won’t bother with unnecessary words. Hand over the map fragment. If you don’t have it on you... then where have you hidden it?"

Tang Li knew that during the long period she had been unconscious, they must have searched her.

"If you don’t answer, we won’t let you leave. With your ability as a deputy chief physician, you won’t be able to make it out of this haunted house alive!"
