Hospital 444

Before Dai Lin could question the name "Nie Xiuzhu," Han Ming continued, "During the time Feng Xiao imprisoned you, the food you were given included my ’Gift of Flesh’."

Gift... of Flesh?

"You wouldn’t have noticed. At that time, I chose to bestow the Gift of Flesh upon you, and as a result, even if you learned more about 666 Hospital, you wouldn’t disappear like Tang Li did. Look, everyone else has forgotten her, but I still remember her. Don’t I?"

Dai Lin looked at the man before him and said, "Vice President Han, I want to ask you a question. In 1995... how did you come into contact with the Dalen Family of 666 Hospital? Also, during this period and in 1995, was there any connection to the second victim of the Mute Stitching Map Serial Killing case?"

That series of serial killings was the very reason Dai Wei was sent to the Demon Department for treatment.

The third victim was Yin Wuque’s lover, Wei Shirling, and the fourth victim was An Minglu, whose encounter triggered the Sign of the Devil in Dai Wei.

"Do you think... they’re related?"

After saying this, Han Ming took another bite of his noodles.

"After they died, their mouths were stitched up, and there was a piece of a map inside each of their mouths. And that map... it’s a map of Suyuan Mountain! The problem is, the map has significant discrepancies with the actual map of Suyuan Mountain, showing some places that don’t really exist."

Dai Lin remembered that Fang Zhou’s wife, Mei Yang, had been cursed on Suyuan Mountain. And she also witnessed... scenes that shouldn’t exist on Suyuan Mountain.

"All these things are connected, aren’t they?" Dai Lin pressed, "What exactly is on Suyuan Mountain?"

Han Ming’s chopsticks paused.

"Dai Lin. Take care of the matters at hand. Suyuan Mountain is still too far away for you at this stage. When I found out that Lin Yan, whom you brought to the hospital, was cursed by Suyuan Mountain, I was quite surprised as well."

"So initially, you wanted to use the devil’s curse that Lin Yan was under to kill me."

"I’ve said before, at that time, a person like you was too dangerous for me."

Milan, within Dai Lin’s right eye, heard all of this very clearly.

Indeed... Virgil Faust had the physical constitution to withstand a Level Five Abyssal Curse, and was already greatly valued by the Faust Family. As for Dai Lin... he could withstand something like the Devil’s Eye, a Level Six Abyssal Invasion curse. His potential was far more terrifying than Virgil’s.

Milan had a premonition that in the future, Dai Lin would become Virgil Faust’s true nemesis. To her, Virgil Faust was second only to Mephisto Faust on her Faust Family hit list. But she was also aware that she could never kill him.

"I’m not going to tell you anything about Suyuan Mountain, Dai Lin. Not until you can open the letter I’ve given you. For now, let’s get back to the original topic at hand. Stay away from that apartment, Dai Lin. Any curse and any doctor is a joke in front of that building."

Milan instructed Dai Lin to repeat a sentence to Han Ming.

"Vice President Han, which is more terrifying... 666 Hospital or that apartment?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Hearing this, Han Ming was silent for a moment, then said, "For the moment... I suppose they’re evenly matched."

"For the moment... you say?"

"You’ll know in time, Dai Lin. For now, the best thing you can do is stay as far away from that apartment... as possible!"

Dai Lin quickly pressed, "I have many more questions I want to ask you, what did you mean just now by the ’Gift of Flesh’?"

"What Gift of Flesh?" But the man before him looked baffled, "Hey, when did I order pig’s trotter noodles?"

Han Ming... had left the man’s body?

"Dai Lin?"

Suddenly, Dai Lin heard a familiar voice.

He immediately turned around, only to see a familiar figure.

Gao Heyan!

She walked towards the noodle shop, slowly approaching Dai Lin.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing Gao Heyan didn’t surprise Dai Lin; he had already seen her at the airport. Had his attention not been fully on Han Ming just moments before, he would have noticed her sooner.

"We... probably came here with the same purpose."

Gao Heyan thought for a moment, then asked, "You’re alone, right?"

"No one’s with me. I... I came here alone."

Anyway, Milan had taken the plane inside his right eye, so when Dai Lin checked the flight records, he was the only person who came to the city of K.

Lately, Gao Heyann looked a lot more haggard.

First, his teacher Jiang Licheng went missing, his life or death uncertain.

Then his sister Gao Menghua abruptly woke up only to fall into a coma once again.

Most importantly, when his sister awoke, she insisted that Gao Heyann must not trust Yin Wuque under any circumstances.

Anyone experiencing these things in a short time would be overwhelmed mentally.

Inside Dai Lin’s right eye, Milan could clearly see Gao Heyann as well.

Just a mere attending physician, but Milan could feel that her talent was very high. From Dai Lin’s memories, her actual age and her appearance were indeed similar. Over the years, for the sake of her sister, she had been saving Spiritual Therapy Points and had not added any to her own lifespan.

Another point was that she was a real beauty. Gao Heyann was the cold and enchanting kind of beautiful woman, who exuded an alluring sisterly charm and the sensuality of fiery red lips when dressed in casual clothes instead of her white lab coat.

In the past at 666 Hospital, Milan was considered a beauty on par with Laila Faust, and Gao Heyann could certainly be regarded as the belle of Hospital 444. Though one was Western and the other Eastern, their beauty was distinctive and comparable in their own right. After all, Milan was young, and when a beautiful woman meets another beautiful woman, it’s hard not to compare oneself.

"Dai Lin. Has Vice President Yin looked for you recently?"

"Recently... no," Dai Lin shook his head. It was Vice President Han who had just come to see him, however.

At this moment, his mind was still pondering what exactly this Gift of Flesh was. Could it be another kind of Cursed Flesh?

"Hasn’t looked for you, eh?"

Gao Heyann continued to ponder the words her sister had said at that time.

"Do not trust Yin Wuque"...

The moment she woke up, that was the first thing she told herself!

Could her sister’s coma be related to Yin Wuque?

This speculation lingered in her mind.

If that were true, it would be terrifying.

But since Dai Lin was admitted, she clearly remembered Yin Wuque looking much happier, which did not seem to be an act. Or was his performance so convincing that it fooled even her?

Regardless, Gao Heyann definitely had unconditional trust in her sister. Therefore, she wanted to find the answer herself. She instructed Jiang Yue, the nurse taking care of her sister’s ward, that if Vice President Yin visited her sister again, no matter what time it was, even if in the middle of the night, she must be contacted immediately.

"Dai Lin, you remember Lin Yan, right? The patient you brought into the hospital."

"Of course I remember."

"After she entered the Demon Department for treatment, she completely disappeared without a trace. This is really abnormal. And Charm Shadow Villa, where you last entered, is very close to Suyuan Mountain."

"Yes, indeed..."

"I want to investigate what exactly is on Suyuan Mountain."

In her mind, Milan said to Dai Lin, "Her reaction is a bit strange. Why does she suddenly want to investigate Suyuan Mountain?"

Indeed.

Dai Lin also noticed this.

Gao Heyann definitely did not decide on a whim to investigate Suyuan Mountain.

Dai Lin remembered that not long ago, Gao Menghua had suddenly awakened. Could there be a connection?

Speaking of Gao Menghua’s coma, the root cause was the death of Li An, the Director of the Demon Department at Oroñe Hotel, which resulted in the Demon Department being short of a person.

He didn’t know that years ago Virgil had seen Li An at 666 Hospital. Since Klein completely concealed the matter, even Milan was unaware of it.

"Dai Lin," Gao Heyann continued, "since you’re here too, let’s investigate together from now on!"

Gao Heyann had come to realize something: perhaps Dai Lin was the only person in the hospital she could trust now. Because this man, he prioritizes medical ethics over personal gains!

People often mock idealists, but when in need of selfless help, it’s usually the idealists they turn to for assistance!
