Hospital 444

However, as soon as the man stepped into the duty room, he was hurled out of it! Then, his body turned into nothingness and completely vanished!

It seems that this duty room is indeed quite reliable internally, its defenses are strong. No wonder they say if the black cat cries, one should immediately flee here.

In the face of this terrifying scene, Mei Ge remained unfazed from start to finish, even taking a sip of another cup of coffee she had brewed for herself.

"What? Is this your first encounter with a Devil? To be precise, it’s..."

"Miss Mo," Dai Lin slowly turned to her and said, "I know about Devils, as well as about the Abyssal Invasion. I know more about your hospital than you can imagine."

"Is that so..."

Mei Ge started to become more vigilant as she looked at Dai Lin.

Fuck... I can’t beat him... and he knows more than expected, now it’s going to be hard to deceive him.

Mei Ge didn’t know how much Dai Lin actually knew about the hospital, but since he had come to know this much, it at least hinted that Hospital 444 might know more than she had anticipated.

"Then, do you know about the Darren Family?"

Dai Lin nodded.

He knew more than he should have!

"That makes things easier," she said.

So, Mei Ge told Dai Lin about her specific experiences.

Of course, Milan did not know what had happened to Mo Mei Ge after Director Kafka’s death. And if Milan didn’t know, naturally Dai Lin wouldn’t either.

In theory, as Kafka was part of Darren Family’s camp, Mo Mei Ge and Milan should have been allies. Moreover, Mo Mei Ge now had no value to the Faust Family or, should we say... torturing her to death would serve better as a warning to keep others in line.

Dai Lin originally had no quarrels with the Faust Family. But, from various indications, it seemed this family had decided to become unconditional lackeys of the hospital director.

There was one belief of Damon Dailun that Dai Lin agreed with. For the doctors, the director was nothing more than a slavemaster, their enemy. Abducted for no reason, forced to become Paranormal Doctors, implanted with cursed objects, why should they bow down to the director as a matter of course? It made absolutely no sense! Therefore, Dai Lin naturally had no fondness for the Faust Family, who were willing to be lackeys.

"Alright, I should go on night patrol now. You won’t stop me, will you?" Mei Ge even stood up directly, always defiant before Dai Lin, submissive but not willing to fully surrender.

"I’ll come with you."

Dai Lin stood up and prepared to arrive at the door of the duty room with Mei Ge.

The Devil might be waiting for them outside.

Dai Lin had already begun to activate his left eye.

"Your eye." Suddenly, Dai Lin heard Mei Ge’s words: "Based on my clinical experience, I can basically determine that the curse in your eye has been subject to a high-level Abyssal Invasion. You can actually use it so frequently without causing your soul to be cursed?"

These eyes...

Actually, even the doctors of the Cursed Objects Department in Hospital 444 had difficulty understanding them. The fact that Dai Lin could bear the curse of a Level Six Abyssal Invasion, even Milan was astonished.

Why did Li An’s death lead to Ouyang Rui suffering a Level Six Abyssal Invasion? Ouyang Rui’s situation was like that of Zhong Siming; he was not originally an intern in the Demons Department and had no Devil’s Cursed Object. Like Gao Menghua, he was an Emergency Department doctor who learned from Jiang Licheng but was directly appointed as a Demons Department doctor by the director.

Not long after that, the Devil’s Eye incident occurred. After suffering the Level Six Abyssal Invasion, Ouyang Rui’s eyes transformed into cursed objects, then he died, and Meng Hua has been in a coma ever since.

Yin Wuque could not interfere with the director’s appointment of Demons Department doctors, but what if he had submitted a recommendation to the director? The deputy director’s personnel suggestions to the director are not known to others.

So Dai Lin had always suspected that Yin Wuque had planned for Ouyang Rui to enter the Demons Department. Everything was for these eyes, and then what was needed was a host, like Dai Lin, who could bear the curse of a Level Six Abyssal Invasion.

To fulfill Yin Wuque’s purpose...

"I have never encountered a cursed object with as high a level of Abyssal Invasion as yours," Mei Ge continued, "I don’t know how the cursed object was made, but with the degree of invasion you’ve suffered... don’t you see a lot of special scenes usually?"

"At least not for the moment," he said.

"My medical advice to you is to have your eyeballs removed as soon as possible. I don’t understand how you’ve survived until now," she added.

"If you don’t know how to speak, you don’t have to, Doctor Mo," he responded.

As the two of them stepped out of the duty room, Dai Lin began to search for traces of the Devil.

"But there is one thing, Doctor Nameless, I’m not sure if you are aware."

"What?"

"I have read a paper that you need to have served as a department head for over ten years to read. The author was Renice Dailun... You know of her, right?"

Of the failed faction in the Dailun Family’s internal strife, Dai Lin, of course, knew.

"The paper she wrote, concerning high-level Abyssal Invasions, posits a view that... the higher the level of invasion, the more one can sense the presence of the director. As you know, the director is omnipresent. Yet, it’s hard for ordinary people to grasp this concept, and many doubt this statement. But when the Abyssal Invasion reaches a very high level, patients can sense the director... who is truly omnipresent, truly always around us."

Dai Lin, hearing this, slowly turned his head to look at Mei Ge.

"What did you say?"

Milan had also been a department head, so why hadn’t she read this paper? Oh, it must be because she served as a department head for less than ten years.

To sense the director’s presence as the Abyssal Invasion level deepens?

Why is that?

"Renice Dailun believes that the essence of an Abyssal Invasion is a kind of soul pollution. And the Sign of the Devil is the initial sign of this pollution."

Mei Ge, taking advantage of Dai Lin’s gradually entranced attention, began to inch closer to him.

Closer and closer...

Suddenly, she swiftly raised her right hand, ready to fiercely sweep across Dai Lin’s eyes!

Instead, Dai Lin grabbed Mei Ge’s right hand in an instant.

In her hand was a glaring scalpel.

"What are you trying to do?" Dai Lin asked coldly. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Mei Ge, inwardly sighing that her plan had nearly succeeded, realized as a surgeon she was still not skilled enough. How could she know that Dai Lin’s eyes could see right through her?

Mei Ge tried to remain composed and said, "I’ve told you, from a doctor’s perspective, the complete removal of these eyes is for your own good."

"So I should thank you, is that it?"

"Don’t mention it."

Mo Meige’s face was indeed thick enough that she showed no intention of pleading for mercy at this point.

"It seems you didn’t take my warning seriously, huh? Everything you said just now was a lie, right? About feeling the director’s presence during an Abyssal Invasion..."

"No," Mei Ge shook her head: "Everything I said was true. Even, Renice Dailun had a bold conjecture..."

"You think I would still believe you?"

"Letting someone talk doesn’t bring the sky down. We should pursue freedom of speech."

"Sorry, I’m not a Westerner like you."

Dai Lin was about to activate his left eye to properly teach Mo Meige a lesson, but her next words halted his action.

"Her conjecture suggests that, after we Paranormal Doctors suffer an Abyssal Invasion, the true symptoms of soul pollution manifest in the transformation from a doctor at Hospital 444," her eyes slightly lifted, "gradually into a doctor at 666 Hospital. The inverted cross on our foreheads is proof of the Paranormal Doctors suffering the Abyssal Invasion and soul pollution."

"You..." Dai Lin wanted to accuse her of lying but, somehow, he found her words to be strangely persuasive: "Impossible, don’t you check your own soul state?"

"Using the medical equipment provided by the director?"

Dai Lin was bewildered.

"So are you saying that all of you are Abyssal Invasion victims?"

"Or so one could say," Mei Ge looked into Dai Lin’s eyes and said: "The fact that you could come here and interact with me, does it indicate that your soul has started to be polluted by the Devil’s Cursed Object due to the Abyssal Invasion? Did Renice Dailun lose because she lacked the strength, or because... she spoke the truth, and the director had to make sure she died?"
