Hospital 444

At this point, he added one more sentence, "Let me explain what Purgatory Surgery is. Our department categories are not the same as yours, and they are not divided by the type of Ghosts. Basically, what Purgatory Surgery treats is..."

"I refuse."

Virgil had originally prepared a barrage of words to try to persuade Dai Lin. In fact, he could have used Dai Wei as a hostage to threaten Dai Lin, which was one of the family strategies, but Virgil preferred the method of alliance through marriage to win over Dai Lin.

But he never expected that Dai Lin would directly use these three words to respond to him. Yet, even so, he still did not intend to use

"You..."

"However, you speak Chinese pretty well, it’s my first time encountering a Westerner who speaks it so well... You are indeed a Westerner, right?"

Virgil saw from the look in Dai Lin’s eyes that there was no possibility of compromise.

"Ah..."

Virgil sighed heavily.

"What a pity. I had hoped to recruit you."

"I don’t negotiate with Demons," Dai Lin said, distancing himself from Virgil.

Dai Lin’s Cursed Object abilities were almost all long-range nature, and since he did not know Virgil’s abilities, it was absolutely impossible for him to engage in close combat with his opponent.

"Just to be safe, let me ask one more thing, is there anyone else here besides you?" Dai Lin continued, starting to buy time, continuing to probe Virgil in front of him using the Devil’s Eye to search for any possible weaknesses.

But, through the detection, he was certain... Virgil had no... flaws!

The next moment...

Virgil’s pupils... began to change color.

His pupils turned a deep blue!

"Dr. Dai, I am a very merciful person," Virgil said after his eyes turned deep blue, "Human life is the most valuable thing. If there’s a choice, I do not want to kill my brother-in-law’s brother, so from now on, until your death, whenever you agree to join us, I will stop. But conversely, until your death, I will absolutely not relent."

After making this statement, Dai Lin felt an unprecedented pressure!

Then, Virgil continued, "Your biggest folly is that you did not agree to my terms while I was speaking nicely to you. Because even if you agree to join us now, I cannot guarantee that I can stop in time. May God bless you, Dr. Dai."

Though those blue-eyed pupils were far from Dai Lin, he felt as if they were the only thing left in the world.

"Is your Cursed Object also... an eye?"

"Dr. Dai. Listen carefully to what I am going to say next. You just called me a Demon... You are absolutely right. I am a Paranormal Doctor who has already endured a strong Abyss contamination on my Cursed Object. To you, we are what you call Demon Hosts, our bodies and souls are starting to Abyss-transform. From a high-dimensional perspective, we are now in an intermediary state between humans and Demons."

"Humans and... Demons?"

Dai Lin still wanted to back away, but he found, even though he wanted to leave, he was still unable to escape the lock of the other’s gaze.

Those blue pupils seemed to become his entire world.

At that moment, Dai Lin’s entire understanding of the world began to shift.

It seemed those blue eyes were the greatest existence in this world.

"No!"

Even white dwarfs, stars, could not compare, could not be more eternal!

"So to you, am I human, or am I a Demon?"

Humans, as three-dimensional beings, can only observe a single stable parallel temporal layer; they can see and perceive the worlds of parallel spatial layers, much like Schrödinger’s cat, where the cat’s life and death as an overlapping quantum state exist concurrently in parallel temporal layers. But three-dimensional beings cannot observe another parallel temporal layer parallel to themselves; in the same temporal layer, the cat can only be alive, or dead. If they could see, that would mean they have obtained a high-dimensional perspective.

Without sufficient ability, obtaining a high-dimensional perspective is an unbearable curse!

Obtaining a high-dimensional perspective means the soul will begin to be eroded by high-dimensional contamination, and little by little will be assimilated by the Abyss. This condition is almost impossible to cure, even going to the Demons Department, there is only a very slim possibility that this state can be reversed.

However, there are very few people, who, after obtaining an Abyss Cursed Object, possess the observational capabilities of a high-dimensional perspective, yet can still make sure they are not contaminated and restrain the process of Abyss contamination. Such people are exceedingly rare.

To this day, there are only two such people.

One is Dai Lin, and the other is Virgil!

Only these two can accomplish this!

"Your usage of the Devil’s Eye is still not perfect, not even 50% of its capabilities have been utilized. You still can’t possess the complete high-dimensional perspective, nor can you truly see what the real Abyss is, much less understand what a real Demon is."

Subsequently, Dai Lin realized that he could no longer see those blue pupils.

The banquet hall around him seemed to have plunged into darkness.

Virgil’s voice could no longer be heard.

In his original position, there was only a faint black shadow left.

What was that shadow...

...

"Virgil?"

Inside the banquet hall.

Virgil sat quietly, looking at the hall in front of him that was about to be set up as a wedding venue, with Klein sitting beside him.

"How is he? Did he agree to join?"

From just now until now, Virgil had been sitting here.

"He does not agree," Virgil shook his head slightly, "I already told him, we have his brother."

Indeed, that was the case, although Virgil had not directly threatened Dai Lin.

Klein nodded, saying, "What a pity. After telling him, now his brother is a part of our Faust Family, yet he still refuses to yield. It seems he really can’t be won over. Then, kill him."

"It has already begun."

"Then his death is just a matter of time. He doesn’t have the capability, sooner or later... his soul will truly collapse."

At this moment...

Dai Lin could no longer distinguish the directions around him.

The Devil’s Eye had no effect on any position.

"Where is this... Who am I?"

He was now in an extreme state of chaotic confusion.

"I am Dai Lin! I... I am taking a professional qualification exam, this is the Oroñe Hotel! Yes, this is the Oroñe Hotel! Here, one cannot laugh, cannot... itemCount one’s own shadow, when someone knocks on the door..."

Suddenly...

Dai Lin heard a strange chuckle.

He immediately looked around.

He heard laughter?

"Kill all humanoid figures that emit laughter."

"You must firmly remember, you are human."

At that moment, Dai Lin, who had taken over the duties of Vice President Han Ming, finally regained consciousness.

He knew that he was different from ordinary people, he had the ability to resist, even immune to Abyss contamination. So, as long as he believed in himself, he could possibly defeat Virgil.

Before that...

He could not afford to give up!
