Hospital 444

In Hei Dongxie’s heart, "A true man should be so! Women are merely spoils of war to him! Emotions? He certainly has none."

Thus, utilizing his high-rise resident privileges, he forced Yan Mei and Fan Shuangshuang to submit to him. At that moment, he felt greatly relieved, as the darkness of the past completely dissipated!

However, now Yan Mei and Fan Shuangshuang have been turned into dolls and are trapped in the Puppet House Bai Residence. Yin Wuque has decided to make a major outing, obviously trying to control the residents in preparation for the future blood character task on Suyuan Mountain!

...

"Cursed Spirits???"

Hei Dongxie lit another cigarette.

This time the situation had exceeded his expectations.

The blood task prompt revealed that the ghost of this blood character was a ferocious spirit about to ascend to a cursed spirit!

Does this mean that as the blood task progresses, the apartment gradually relaxes the restrictions on ghosts, allowing ferocious spirits to transform into cursed spirits?

"Calm down, calm down, calm down... This is a blood task, I don’t need to fight the ghosts head-on. As long as I find a way to live, even a cursed spirit can’t harm me."

The apartment is much stronger than the hospital. Even a cursed spirit can be easily suppressed by the rules of the blood task. Therefore, almost every paranormal doctor holds the apartment in awe, and few dare to get involved in blood tasks.

But now, Hei Dongxie himself has been drawn into a blood task!

"These bizarre rules remind me of the Oroñe Hotel..."

Hei Dongxie then looked at the Lin Yunfang and Lin Yunfen sisters before him.

"You both understand the current situation, right?"

"I can’t go back to the hospital," said Lin Yunfang with a pale face, a nurse by profession. "Sis, why don’t you try to leave this place first?"

"I fear I can’t leave anymore." Lin Yunfen, who had been to countless haunted locations, was surprisingly calm. "Doctor Dong... you have a way to solve the current problem, right?"

"We need to prepare," Hei Dongxie drew heavily on his cigarette, "this is a blood task... Now, because of a cursed object, I and the parallel universe version of myself have become one and the same. We are both subject to the exact same shadow curse, so the blood task we carry out can also be interlinked."

"The hospital... can’t it really solve the shadow curse?" Lin Yunfen looked at the shadow under Hei Dongxie’s feet. "That legendary apartment?"

"That apartment is even more terrifying to paranormal doctors than a cursed spirit."

Cursed Spirits...

The upper limit of curses that current paranormal doctors can barely understand.

Among ferocious spirits, very few can gradually transform into cursed spirits.

Cursed spirits cannot be made into cursed objects.

And the three most powerful cursed objects in Hospital 444 are: The Ghost Buddha head of the Blood Lotus Temple, Dead Soul Tomb, and The Sargenic Blood Covenant.

Among them, the Ghost Buddha of the Blood Lotus Temple and Dead Soul Tomb are already ferocious spirits, gradually transforming into cursed spirits, also known as quasi-cursed spirit objects. This is already the limit of what the Department of Cursed Objects has been able to seal.

The Ghost Buddha of the Blood Lotus Temple needs no further explanation. All doctors at Hospital 444 know the terror of the Twenty-seven Ghost Buddhas of the Blood Lotus Temple. The most terrifying four Ghost Buddha heads are even feared by the deputy directors.

The Dead Soul Tomb is a tomb made into a cursed object by ancient means unknowable today. Yin Wuque, indeed a demonic genius, was the first to implant the ghost bones of the Dead Soul Tomb inside his body and still manage to control it miraculously.

Lastly, there is The Sargenic Blood Covenant, personally safeguarded by the head of the Department of Cursed Objects.

It is said that this object has a significant connection with the dean! Whether it’s related to cursed spirits, we can’t know.

Quasi-cursed spirit objects, currently known, are only these two! You can see just how terrifying quasi-cursed spirits are. Without the protection of the blood rules, Hei Dongxie inevitably faces certain death!

...

"Ah..."

As a supernatural nurse, Lin Yunfang was relatively brave. She opened the door to peek into the hallway.

At that moment, the hallway was completely empty.

Eerily quiet.

"Something’s not right... too quiet." Hei Dongxie started to feel uneasy. "At this time, most people would be off to work. But there’s no sound in the hallway."

Not being able to open the curtains means not being able to know what’s happening outside.

"If Dr. Dai were here, he could’ve looked outside through the curtains..."

Hei Dongxie paused for a moment and then said: "Lin Yunfen, you go back. Yunfang, come with me."

After all, Lin Yunfang was a supernatural nurse, and Hei Dongxie trusted her a bit more.

"Okay, got it, Doctor Dong."

Subsequently, Hei Dongxie and Lin Yunfang left the room, one after the other, and he specifically instructed Lin Yunfen to stay at home and not to draw the curtains.

To be honest, Hei Dongxie did admire Lin Yunfen; she really dared to stay alone.

Once outside, Lin Yunfang was somewhat terrified and uneasy, facing a quasi-cursed spirit, what chance did an ordinary nurse have? She could only follow closely by Hei Dongxie’s side, hoping for a way out.

Hei Dongxie and Lin Yunfang came to a door, and knocked.

"Do you know this family?"

"Sort of... You hide aside first and observe the surroundings."

Soon, the door opened.

The person who opened the door looked at Hei Dongxie in shock.

"Dong Xie?"

"Class leader," Hei Dongxie gave a smile. "Aren’t you working today?"

The person in front was Liu Yuan, the class leader.

However, it was the class leader of this parallel universe.

Hei Dongxie’s class leader Liu Yuan in his own parallel universe had been ordered to be killed by him.

Liu Yuan had not participated in that incident and hadn’t mocked him. After learning about the incident, he thought they had gone too far, but he hadn’t come to apologize to Hei Dongxie about it either. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

However, for Hei Dongxie, it didn’t matter whether Liu Yuan was involved or not. Maybe he was involved, maybe he wasn’t, but his teammates indeed acted under his name, tormenting him on the football field.

"Today I took leave..."

It seemed quite dark inside.

Didn’t the class leader draw the curtains?

"Come in. I’ve been meaning to have a chat with you..."

Liu Yuan...

Liu Yuan from this parallel universe becoming his neighbor was certainly not a coincidence.

He bought the house next to Liu Yuan’s, and it was intentional.

Of course, he never thought of harming Liu Yuan from this parallel universe.

But somehow, he still bought the house here.

"Lin Cheng’s memorial service, I was surprised you didn’t show up."

"Lin..."

Lin Cheng?

The curtains inside were indeed drawn tightly.

Liu Yuan then poured Hei Dongxie a glass of water, saying, "Sorry, I... I’ve recently had a corneal inflammation from a physical exam, so I can’t open the curtains. I hope you don’t mind."

"No worries."

"Last time I organized a class reunion, you met Lin Cheng. I heard that some strange things happened afterward. Both Lin Cheng and his spouse Qi Yuxuan passed away... You must be very upset, Lin Cheng was such a good friend of yours..."

Hei Dongxie couldn’t remember.

People from the parallel universe? Seems like he had quite a good relationship with himself from this layer of the universe?

However, Class Leader Liu’s popularity stayed the same.

In this parallel universe, the national football team’s strength is ridiculously weak. Forget about World Cup semi-finals, they had only barely made it to the World Cup finals circle once in the past twenty-plus years, and even then they didn’t score a single goal.

"Do you still play football?"

Hei Dongxie asked.

"I..." Liu Yuan was taken aback, not understanding why Hei Dongxie would suddenly ask this.

"Football, do you still play?"

Hei Dongxie asked again.

"I played in high school... but you know the level of our country’s football..."

"I hate football."

"Uh?"

Hei Dongxie looked at Liu Yuan with a grim expression: "Class leader, you really haven’t changed at all."

Liu Yuan’s gaze dimmed.

"Dong Xie, this time... many of our classmates have passed away. But Lin Cheng was the first to go."

Hei Dongxie of course knew it was due to a blood task known as the Death Bid.

Executors of the blood task could amass a large number of fans, and by sacrificing the lives of these fans, one could bid to buy a ghost to assist in performing blood tasks. Yan Mei and Fan Shuangshuang also participated in this blood task. It now seemed, even if he didn’t act, those classmates would have been sacrificed by Yan Mei and Fan Shuangshuang.

Hei Dongxie glanced towards the position of the curtains.

"So from early morning until now... you haven’t opened the curtains, right, class leader?"
