Hospital 444

Yalu Jia continued in Han Ming’s voice, "I have formally granted flesh to your brother, which will allow him to receive information about the 666 realm from within Hospital 444. And you, Dai Wei, I will also use the Gift of Flesh to let you retain your memories of Hospital 444, otherwise, the mark on your forehead will very soon erase these memories. Remember, Dai Wei, as a doctor of Hospital 444, you can still count as human, but to become one of 666 Hospital means to become the Dean’s slave and stand against all of humanity."

"He’s right," Uncle Li said to Dai Wei, "the Sargenic Blood Covenant of five hundred years ago was a massacre of all the doctors of 666 Hospital by humanity. Back then, humanity won."

"How is that possible..." Dai Wei could not believe it: "How could humans kill all the Paranormal Doctors?"

"Those humans, they all came from an apartment. That apartment would issue tasks to humans to prevent the Dean from reaching out to its realm. Behind the Dean is the absolute ’darkness’, but for the apartment, it needs to maintain a sufficient human population base to curse it."

An apartment?

The amount of information was simply overwhelming.

Uncle Li looked at Yalu Jia and continued, "Vice President Han, then we will follow your orders from now on."

"You three will be the critical cornerstones of my plans in the future. What we need to do is complex yet simple: eliminate the Faust Family, leaving only Alucia Faust!"

"Eliminate... the Faust... family?"

Dai Wei’s face turned pale all at once.

"Why... why would you do that?"

"The Faust Family has sold their souls to the Dean completely, just like Yin Wuque did. What we need to do is prevent any doctor loyal to the Dean from having a chance to step into the 444 realm. Everything the Dean needs is on the layer of Hospital 444."

"What exactly is the Dean?" The question Dai Wei asked was the same one that Damon Dailun had pursued years ago.

"The term ’Dean’ doesn’t really fit. From the beginning, this place wasn’t a hospital, and you weren’t doctors. And what I know is not everything. Within the hospital, there lurks a darkness unknown to us. What I, Han Ming, know is just one thing: we must not let the Dean achieve what he wants to do. Not for any faction or personal interest, but for all of humanity. I am different from Yin Wuque, who could trade his soul for a woman; I have my bottom line."

Dai Wei’s memories slowly began to resurface, bit by bit.

"Dai... Lin... Dai... Dai... Dai Lin..."

Suddenly, Dai Wei clutched at his head and collapsed to the ground.

He was beginning to remember!

He doesn’t have a sister!

He only has one brother!

His parents are someone else!

At the same time, the black inverted cross on his forehead began to throb with severe pain!

"I will grant you flesh, so you won’t forget what you are starting to remember now. The black cross on your forehead won’t cause you pain anymore."

Uncle Li then looked at Yalu Jia, swallowed hard, and said, "My father... my father... he really died... didn’t he? Vice President Han?"

Emotionally, he still didn’t want to accept it.

"He’s dead. His death... caused the incident three years ago... Since you’re all here today, I might as well speak plainly. All of this was orchestrated by Yin Wuque from the beginning. He facilitated the creation of the Level Six Abyssal Curse, and his initial plan was to seize this curse from Ouyang Rui and then find a doctor who could bear these eyes. All this, to carry out the Dean’s task on the level of Hospital 444! Before, some people from 666 Hospital also wanted to be sent to Hospital 444, like Nie Xiuzhu, essentially the same as Yin Wuque."

"Vice President Yin... you mean... him??? How could that be..."

Li Dongshan’s memory had also started to recover earlier, so he still remembered the past at Hospital 444.

At this point, Yalu Jia’s voice grew icy.

"Yin Wuque, Lu Yuan, they’re all the same. From the beginning, Yin Wuque intentionally arranged for your father, Li An, to go to Oroñe Hotel. If anything has to be said, there might have been some accidents along the way, leading to the coma of his fiancée Gao Meng Hua..."

At that moment, Han Ming allowed Yalu Jia to maintain a clear consciousness, to hear everything he said.

So, when Yalu Jia heard the name "Gao Meng Hua," she immediately reacted.

She remembered the name!

She immediately recalled... that night years ago, when Klein sent her with the curse to assist Virgil in patrol.

Klein instructed her on two things: first, to protect Virgil at all costs, and second, to take the opportunity to find clues about Mary’s disappearance, ideally leading directly to either Damon or Rosa.

At that time, Yalu Jia would spare no expense to fulfill Klein’s mission, because she was desperate to complete the family’s task.

"Yalu Jia. You are set to marry into the Dalen Family, but there’s something else you need to remember—keep a close eye on them and ensure they don’t engage in any misconduct. All of our Paranormal Doctors must be absolutely loyal to the President. The President gives us everything and can take back everything we have at any moment. If the Dalen Family rebels or resists the President, you must report to me immediately."

"Rebel against the President? Is that even possible?"

To all Paranormal Doctors, the President is a true deity or demon. No one can deny that, nor dare to contend. Yalu Jia felt that since the President had granted them a status that transcended everything, wealth, and even bodies that could live forever, it was only fair and reasonable for them to work for the President until the day they died. The thought of opposing the President was something she didn’t even dare to contemplate.

"That day..."

Yalu Jia was recalling that evening when she had been on patrol with Virgil...

According to Virgil’s account, he encountered a ghoul and afterwards, spotted a figure in the distance.

Latter, in the ward, he encountered the same kind of resentful spirit.

"Brother-in-law," Yalu Jia continued to ask Virgil, "you told me that the name tag on that person had Chinese characters, right? I actually learned Chinese from a young age because I love reading China’s classical literature."

It was then that Virgil understood why Yalu Jia could speak such fluent Chinese. It was remarkable, as few Caucasians could speak Chinese without any accent at all.

Just then, Klein suddenly transmitted a voice into Yalu Jia’s mind.

"Listen carefully, Yalu Jia. Next, if you see any non-English signs, or doctors without a black upside-down cross on their forehead, put on a red mask immediately, and then... hand over the cursed object I gave you to someone. To someone whose chest nameplate bears the mark of a Demonic Department Doctor. These are father’s instructions, and you must carry them out!"

"Yes... Big brother."

"Also, don’t tell Virgil."

Virgil continued to shine his flashlight, when suddenly, his body froze.

The flashlight’s beam revealed the top of a room.

There, in bold characters: "Wraith Surgery Department, Clinic 1"!

"Impossible..."

Seeing this scene, Yalu Jia was also shocked, but she reacted quickly, hastily taking out a red mask and passing one to Virgil as well!

While Virgil held the mask, he did not put it on. Yalu Jia, however, quickly wore hers.

"Excuse me. Who are you two?"

At this moment, Virgil and Yalu Jia immediately turned their gaze to a certain spot!

Standing there was a young male doctor in a white lab coat.

As the doctor stepped closer to them, Virgil saw clearly that although the man had spoken English, he too had an Asian face.

With every step he took closer, Virgil noticed that red lines began to spread from the man’s left eye, while the interior of his right eye socket was pure black!

The man continued to approach them.

"I’ll ask one more time, who are you?"

Just as he was about to question further, suddenly, he clutched his head.

At that instant, Virgil saw a faint upside-down black cross starting to emerge on the man’s forehead!

And Yalu Jia immediately realized... this was the person Klein had mentioned... the one to receive the cursed object!

It was then that she suddenly heard two voices.

"Gao Menghua, what are you doing!"

"Yin Wuque! Have you lost your mind!"

...

"Dai Lin, I’ve been thinking about something. If, and I mean if, could it be possible that Vice President Yin deliberately used my sister’s phone to send coordinates to his own phone?"

While eating noodles, Gao Heyann shared her hidden thoughts with Dai Lin, "From the beginning to the end, it has always been his word alone that they found my sister at Ouyang Rui’s home. If he’s lying, there would be no one to expose him!"
