Hospital 444

Hospital, Dark Demon Surgery Department.

The department director, Green, looked at the blond man before him.

"This time, the trial agreement for the newly developed cursed object, you’ve already signed it, haven’t you?"

"Yes, I’m mentally prepared," said the man, his eyes firm. "No matter what, I must reunite with my wife and daughter."

"You need to be mentally prepared, Mr. Alex," Green cautiously reminded. "Currently, this cursed object doesn’t have enough human trial data, so anything could happen. So... you need to think it over."

"I’m prepared. I believe that God will keep me safe."

"Good. Tomorrow I will personally perform the cursed object implantation surgery on you."

After the man before him left, Green looked at his medical record and shook his head slightly.

"In more than a decade of practicing medicine, this is the first time I’ve seen such a strange medical record."

At that moment, the door opened, and someone walked in.

"George?"

The person who entered was George Faust, son of Klein Faust.

"You’re back from the Oroñe Hotel?"

"Mm, I’m back." George looked at Green and said, "Now, our family has gained another member."

As members of the third generation of the family, George and Silas were very different in personality. He was modest, without airs, and mingled well with all the doctors.

"Congratulations... I’m sorry I couldn’t attend the wedding."

"Also, the new head of Purgatory Surgery has been decided to be Dr. Dai Lin."

"Dr. Dai should consider adopting an English name, shouldn’t he?"

Green leaned back slightly and said, "Ever since... Director Kafka passed away, Purgatory Surgery has finally welcomed a new department head."

Green could be considered George’s friend, and given his own outstanding abilities, he had managed to become the department head of Dark Demon Surgery.

In general, the department head would usually be a Hunter. Dark Demon Surgery is often seen as a sibling department to the Demons Department—the patients Dark Demon Surgery couldn’t treat would be sent to the Demons Department for treatment. It was rare for someone who wasn’t yet a Hunter like Green to take on the role of department head at Dark Demon Surgery.

The main reason was that Green possessed exceptional talent in cursed object research within the clinical department. Paranormal doctors who could achieve high accomplishments in both clinical work and cursed object research were very rare.

"By the way, could you introduce me to Dr. Dai Lin?" asked Green. "I heard that he is the only Paranormal Doctor in possession of a Sixth Level Abyssal Curse. Before Rod Dalen developed the Corpse Curse Technique, I’ve never heard of anyone being able to withstand a truly demonic cursed item."

Even as a doctor loyal to the Faust Family, Green was passionate about cursed object research, so he greatly admired Rod Dalen. Although Rod had passed away, the Corpse Curse Technique he developed was indeed formidable.

It was a powerful curse technique that could be loaded onto a cursed object, greatly enhancing a paranormal doctor’s adaptability to cursed objects, making it possible for ordinary doctors to withstand demonic cursed items. For a cursed object researcher, this technique was as shocking as a mathematician learning that the Riemann hypothesis had been proven. It was due to this technique that Dr. Dai’s eyes could be transplanted into Virgil for him to use.

"Actually, I’m still researching the Corpse Curse Technique," Green continued. "I’ve written many reports and submitted them to the Department of Cursed Objects. Thanks to this, they have recently developed a new cursed object, and a patient has already signed an experimental agreement for it."

"Experiment?"

"Mm."

Cursed objects differed from clinical drugs in reality; they couldn’t be tested on mice. The complex soul structure of humans was unique, and no other animal in three-dimensional space possessed a soul structure similar to that of humans. Perhaps for this reason, cases of animals dying and producing evil spirits were exceedingly rare.

"Green, with the development of the Corpse Curse Technique now, can we reduce the risk of doctors being backfired upon by cursed objects?"

"Yes. So far, it looks promising."

"I see..."

At this moment, Dai Lin was meeting alone with the Deputy Director of the Dark Demon Surgery Department.

"Director Li," Dai Lin said to Li Dongshan before him. "Vice President Han’s memories tell me that you are someone I can fully trust."

"Yes." Li Dongshan nodded. "I didn’t expect that we would meet again here."

The last time they met was in Nanmian Village.

Only at that time, Dai Lin was disguised as a villager, Lu Zhengqiang.

But now, Li Dongshan naturally recognized him.

"Your father is Director Li An, right?"

"Yes..."

The head of the Demons Department, Li An, had once had his own son as a patient.

At that time, Han Ming intervened with his cursed object, splitting Li An’s spirit and soul into his dead son’s body, thus creating a split presence of Li An.

A part of Li An’s spirit thus merged into his son’s body, becoming his split presence.

This status was bizarre; at first, the original and the split personality could share memories, but as time passed, different experiences would cause the split spirit to transform into a completely new personality, becoming an entirely different person.

Later, after Director Li died at the Oroñe Hotel, the remains of the original were actually found. However, his split presence—that is, his son’s physical body—was never recovered. This was also what the examination required to find.

"So, in your time layer, I’m actually already dead..."

It was difficult for Li Dongshan to accept such a harsh reality.

And the requirement for the professional title examination at Hospital 444 was to find one’s own body.

Dai Lin looked at Li Dongshan before him and said, "The person responsible for your father’s death is a man named Yin Wuque."

"I know that now."

Li Dongshan also learned through Dai Lin that Han Ming had died.

"Your brother is in a special situation. For now, don’t recognize him yet. Although he has recovered memories related to you, this state is actually quite unstable. Under the surveillance of the Faust Family, flaws could appear at any moment. Moreover, it would be difficult for you to easily take him away from this time layer. The cursed object in his body has been tampered with countless times by the Faust Family, specifically to prevent this from happening."

Dai Lin became suddenly worried, "What should we do?"

Returning from the Oroñe Hotel to 666 Hospital, Dai Lin had always had one goal: to take his brother away. He hadn’t acted rashly because he realized that there were too many powerful figures within 666 Hospital.

"What should I do?"

"Remember, you can’t be the slightest bit careless. You need to..."

Just then, Dai Lin suddenly signaled Li Dongshan to stop speaking.

His eyes could see two people approaching from outside the door.

One was George, and the other was the department head of Dark Demon Surgery, Green.

The two approached the door, and Green knocked. Li Dongshan opened it.

"Director Li," George said respectfully, "I’ve brought Director Green here. There are some things about cursed objects we’d like to discuss with Dr. Dai."

Green’s eyes were fixed intently on Dai Lin’s, filled with excitement.

This was the legendary Demon Cursed Item!

How many had died within the Darren Family over the years for a Demon Cursed Item?

And now such a cursed object was right in front of him!

Who wouldn’t be excited?

"Of course."

Dai Lin knew that this doctor named Green had information about him from past memories in Milan.

He was one of the few geniuses with achievements in both the clinical and cursed objects domains.

Exchanging ideas with such a person would also be greatly beneficial for Dai Lin.

Half an hour later.

"Dr. Dai."

"Your turn, Director Green."

"I have an unusual request. I’m hoping you can help. Um... I’ve recently come across a very rare case, and I’d like for you to lend a hand."

"Help out?"

"Mm. Please hear me out before deciding whether to help or not."

"Well... okay."

"I have a patient named Alex Selor; he’s from Pennsylvania in the United States..."
