Hospital 444

Dai Lin quickly turned his head around, staring at Mei Ge in surprise.

"What did you just say...?"

It was unreasonable for a doctor from 666 Hospital to know about Spiritual Therapy Points.

Milan could know so much about Hospital 444, all due to her elder brother, the head of the Demons Department, and his numerous research findings.

And a regular doctor, at least Mo Mei Ge, had no reason to know about the Spiritual Therapy Points. Damon Dailun had not published this information in publicly accessible papers.

"What are Spiritual Therapy Points?" Dai Lin didn’t admit that he knew about the Spiritual Therapy Points and asked, "Who told you about them?"

Mo Mei Ge looked coldly towards Dai Lin and asked, "Are you sure you don’t know about Spiritual Therapy Points? I think you should know."

"I’ve never heard about any Spiritual Therapy Points. And moreover, you have no right to question me. Never forget that."

Dai Lin did not intend to explain anything to Mei Ge.

But, obviously, Mei Ge did not believe a word Dai Lin said. She looked at him with eyes full of suspicion and said, "If that’s the case, then I have nothing more to say."

Since Dai Lin would not answer her questions, he also had no right to ask her, "How do you know the term Spiritual Therapy Points?" Considering her personality, she certainly wouldn’t tell the truth in front of him. Therefore, Dai Lin didn’t want to listen to her lies.

"What exactly happened just now?" Mei Ge changed the subject and asked, "You just...suddenly ran back here. I had a headache at that time and didn’t know what happened. Did the Devil appear? Or was it some other evil spirit? That doesn’t seem right; you and I should be in agreement that if an evil spirit appears, we should guide it toward the entrance to hell."

"I have my concerns."

"You ran... Yes, it seemed to happen right after that black cat started meowing. Almost at the same time," Mei Ge immediately realized, "That’s the exact moment, isn’t it?"

Clearly, she had noticed.

"Think what you like," Dai Lin also knew that denying it at this point wouldn’t make much difference; she simply wouldn’t believe him.

Mei Ge raised her hand, pointing outside the door, "That black cat isn’t a creature, nor is it an evil spirit. It is... a warning device that can alert you, right? Speaking of which, black cats are considered unlucky, but that could also be interpreted as them often appearing at disaster scenes, right?"

"Like I said, think what you like."

All this was not so simple.

The role of that black cat was certainly not just that.

At the very least, Mei Ge clearly felt that Dai Lin looked at the black cat with evident wariness. Such a gaze could perhaps be interpreted as being cautious of ghosts, but Mei Ge’s intuition told her... Dai Lin was extremely vigilant towards the black cat itself!

In other words, the black cat’s purpose was not just to serve as a warning.

There were other functions. At least, one thing Mei Ge was certain of was that making direct eye contact with the cat caused her intense headaches, especially around the forehead, and then also produced some auditory hallucinations in her brain. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

This was what really made her apprehensive. Could the black cat be casting some sort of curse on her?

Yet, stubbornly, Dai Lin refused to tell her. And she had no way to force him to speak.

As for the Spiritual Therapy Points, did he really not know, or was he pretending not to know?

Compared to Mo Mei Ge, Dai Lin was reflecting on what strategic decision to make next.

The black cat’s meowing meant he had to return to the duty room. But he couldn’t just stay in the duty room forever, could he? So under these circumstances, what should he do next?

If he just opened the door and walked out, would Lin Qian be waiting for him outside? Dai Lin was very clear that the Devil’s Eye couldn’t determine whether Lin Qian was outside the door or not.

And then, there was the black cat...

When Dai Lin used the Devil’s Eye to peer outside again, he discovered that the black cat had disappeared once more.

The black cat must still be hiding somewhere, but Dai Lin was now unable to use the Devil’s Eye to locate it.

Besides, there was another issue Dai Lin still needed to consider.

How to deal with Lin Qian.

Even though it was just for an instant, the moment his left eye seared with extreme pain, when he saw Lin Qian’s face shattered in pieces, he realized very clearly: He couldn’t confront Lin Qian’s spirit head-on.

What exactly evil spirits, who had been dead for over 24 hours and then placed in the morgue, turned into was still unknown.

But, this was certainly related to the corresponding reaction that would be produced by the black cat.

He mustn’t touch the black cat... If the black cat laughed, he had to kill the black cat...

Why was it necessary to kill the black cat? Could it be that by killing the black cat, the threat Lin Qian’s spirit posed to Dai Lin would be eliminated? Was this a suicidal tactic by the black cat?

Clearly, it couldn’t be that simple.

All the unknowns exerted intense pressure and fear on Dai Lin. This also forced him to face difficult decisions.

When to go outside, how to search for the black cat, and...

He glanced at Mo Meige.

If he truly needed to kill the black cat, should he rely on Meige’s help?

After all, Dai Lin, through his previous observation of the black cat, had lost a great deal of confidence in his ability to kill the black cat quickly. And with Milan not by his side, even unable to share consciousness, Meige was the only person Dai Lin could turn to for help now.

What should he do?

If he truly sought her help, it would certainly increase his chances. However, this would also mean that the control he had over her could develop cracks, allowing her to negotiate terms with him. This was exactly the aspect that troubled Dai Lin the most. For example, she could inquire about more information on Hospital 444 or ask him... what exactly were the Spiritual Therapy Points.

"Let me speculate."

Meige began to talk to herself: "Spiritual Therapy Points, it sounds like something similar to Dark Soul Points, right? To put it simply, it’s like a processing fee patients have to pay the hospital to treat a curse... Do you think that’s possible?"

"I’ve told you, I don’t know what Spiritual Therapy Points are..."

"I didn’t ask my question based on the assumption that you know what Spiritual Therapy Points are. I just asked you if it was possible. If you really have no idea what Spiritual Therapy Points are, then you should reply with ’it might be possible’ or ’it might not be possible’ — a more normal response. After all, you should be very curious about what Spiritual Therapy Points are too."

Dai Lin realized that having a conversation with this cunning woman was truly exhausting.

Yet, she always acted smart and showed off her cleverness, as if she had some remarkable ability, always so self-congratulatory as if she possessed some great tactical intelligence.

Just at that moment...

Suddenly, there was a sound outside the duty room...

Knocking on the door!
