Hospital 444

Dai Lin still felt somewhat frightened at this moment.

Lin Yunfen, this madwoman... Even among the medical records of Hospital 444, she was an extremely rare case.

"Crazy woman! This crazy woman!"

How did he end up encountering such an oddity?

Dai Lin asked himself, facing a Quasi-curse spirit, his chances of surviving were less than 50%. When the time came, he could only let his physical body merge back into Gao Wei and re-enter the time layers of 666 Hospital.

"Fortunately, I managed to stop her in time..."

Dai Lin was no saint; he had almost killed Lin Yunfen just moments ago.

"Should I kill her after all? Or should I modify her psyche through the Devil’s Eye?"

However, with a madwoman like this, minor cognitive modifications would probably be ineffective, but if it escalated to the level of soul contamination, she would progress to a Level One Abyss Invasion.

After all, Dai Lin’s eyes were Level Six Abyss Invasion Cursed Objects, true Demon Cursed Items.

"I’m only one step away from easily controlling these eyes."

Now, under the Ferocious Spirits, there is no threat to Dai Lin.

Even facing Ferocious Spirits, Dai Lin was not without confidence to deal with them. It was only the Quasi-curse spirits that made Dai Lin steer clear for the moment.

But how to take this final step? Once he took this step... Quasi-curse spirits would no longer pose any danger to him.

Back then... Renees Dailun stirred up a bloodbath in her quest to acquire Demon Cursed Items. What was she thinking?

This point was something Dai Lin found particularly puzzling.

Before the Dailun Family developed the Necrodeic Formation, a creative cursed object sealing technique, there were no doctors capable of controlling Demon Cursed Items, which were Level Six Abyss Invasion Curses, not even Virgil who could only control Level Five Abyss Invasion Curses.

Renees Dailun was indisputably the strongest female doctor in the long history of the Dalen Family, and she was also a Hunter.

A female doctor of the Dalen Family who held both the identities of a Paranormal Doctor and a Hunter, Renees Dailun was indeed unique. Back then, she and Ophelia Faust were known as the "Twin Jewels of Female Hunters". However, the bloody civil war for the Demon Cursed Item erupted, leading to the decline of 666 Hospital.

"It was only after that the Dalen Family created the Necrodeic Formation, which could truly seal the Demon Cursed Items."

The Technique is the most complex cursed object sealing method in the Department of Cursed Objects, such as treating bodies within 24 hours of death to delay their placement in the morgue; this treatment is the basic Technique sealing. Basic Techniques are something that Paranormal Doctors can learn during their internship in the Department of Cursed Objects, and they can also study it through research, like Jiang Licheng who self-taught the cursed object sealing Techniques. But more complex Techniques are different; it is difficult for clinical doctors to self-study and make cursed objects on their own.

So...

It is tough for Dai Lin to enhance control over the Devil’s Eye by decoding Techniques. The Department of Cursed Objects never divulges any methods of learning Techniques beyond the basic ones.

"Perhaps the Department of Cursed Objects at Hospital 444 doesn’t have the Necrodeic Formation, but their cursed object sealing methods are more advanced. If there’s a chance to kill a Curse Object Department Doctor and then consume through the right eye, could I learn more complex Techniques?"

Dai Lin continued to look outside the window.

Dai Lin currently had no way to return to the hospital, nor could he leave here through a Spatial Curse Item.

So...

Besides not pulling the curtains, he temporarily couldn’t find any other way to break the situation.

"Should I continue to look for some of the remaining owners to ask them... Maybe I can find some clues?"

But then, the so-called escape route should only be effective for apartment residents, and it might not necessarily work for him, a Paranormal Doctor.

Moreover, most importantly, the Blood Letter Task has always highly repelled the involvement of Paranormal Doctors.

Previously, Paranormal Doctors had attempted to intervene in Blood Letter Tasks, and almost none survived. Especially if Paranormal Doctors helped residents to survive, it was a significant taboo, unless the doctor was a resident themselves. Non-resident doctors daring to do so were most likely facing death.

This is a typical Rules Curse!

Ignoring the strength of ghosts and curses! The Rules are absolute!

And the transformation of a Quasi-curse spirit into a Cursed Spirit will also become a part of the Rules Curse!

"What should I do?"

Dai Lin was now very confused; he did not understand the Rules Curse, nor did he know what step he had to take to be accepted by the apartment. If he found the escape route and completely cracked the Blood Letter Task before the apartment, that would be seen as breaking the rules to help the residents, and his death would be certain!

Suddenly, Dai Lin heard something.

He immediately realized that the sound was coming from the bathroom!

He quickly reached the bathroom, and then he saw in the mirror of the restroom...

The demon incarnated Milan was right by his side!

"Mi..."

Then, the demon actually started crawling out from the mirror!

Too fast!

Dai Lin didn’t even have enough time to activate the Devil’s Eye!

However, what Dai Lin hadn’t anticipated was that the fearsome demonic face in the mirror transformed into Milan’s normal appearance once it passed through the glass!

"Milan?"

Milan then crawled out from the mirror, giving Dai Lin a cold look.

At that moment, Dai Lin realized Milan’s demeanor was completely different from before.

"Milan... I don’t like that name," Milan dusted off her body and looked at Dai Lin, saying, "You hindered my plans before, but I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t fuss about it."

Dai Lin immediately sensed danger!

"You..."

"Finally, I’ve successfully obtained a stable physical body and soul on this temporal plane," Milan tried clenching her fist, "Luckily, from the start, Damon Dailun handed the Demon Bone to Milan Dailun, allowing me to acquire a female body; shifting to a male body would have been too distasteful."

Then, she gave Dai Lin a cold stare and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Renice Dailun."

Renice Dailun.

The taboo of the Dalen Family.

The Dalen Family’s reign over 666 Hospital was quite long, with nearly every department head being a member of the Dailun bloodline during its zenith.

Everyone knows that one of the direct causes of the Dalen Family’s fall was the internal strife that erupted over the battle for the Demon Cursed Item decades ago initiated by Renice Dailun. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"I’ll just mention something simple," Renice Dailun glanced at Lin Yunfen who lay collapsed by the door, "There’s a spirit nearly reaching the power of a curse here, right?"

Dai Lin began to activate the Devil’s Eye: "Are you a ghost, or are you human?"

"Don’t bother struggling. I am the creator of the Necrodeic Formation, so... I can have your Devil’s Eye completely sealed at any time," Renice Dailun continued, "I know you have many questions, so to put it simply, I’ve used numerous methods, splitting my soul, to try and achieve a stable physical body and soul far from the contamination of the Abyss. It’s been a long plan... like the experiments I started with Nie Xiuzhu..."

"Far from the contamination of the Abyss?"

"Our original temporal plane was a contaminated timeline that could result from being on this plane, unlike parallel dimensional layers, where different temporal planes can’t coexist in lower dimensions, just as Schrödinger’s cat cannot be both alive and dead. Therefore, the contamination from the Abyss originally shouldn’t affect this plane."

Saying this, she walked out of the bathroom and looked towards the curtains.

"However, we are humans and need to survive in a stable spacetime layer. I’m not as insane as others who wish to assimilate into demons by the Abyss. Therefore, I cannot accept being a lapdog for those who become hospital directors."

Dai Lin moved closer to her.

"So you... your soul isn’t Milan anymore?"

Possession?

"No... Milan’s life doesn’t exist materially on this temporal layer," she shook her head, "So both she and I live through being assimilated by this spatial layer. Thus, the past Milan was also me, just without my complete soul structure."

Dai Lin couldn’t understand at all.

"Milan Dailun was merely a carrier for the Necrodeic Formation, a member of the Dalen Family who lacked the qualification to carry a Demon Cursed Item. But she obtained the Demon Bone, the artifact from this spatial layer. And the Necrodeic Formation slowly transformed her soul structure into mine."

"What?"

"Do you think the soul has a composite structure because the essence of a soul doesn’t belong to stable low-dimensional matter? When a person dies, the soul transforms into an Evil Spirit that disregards all physical laws. And the biggest illusion you all have is thinking the soul resides within the physical body. Wrong... Scientists have dissected human bodies numerous times, but did they ever find the soul? No! The soul... never exists in the low-dimensional material world!"

Dai Lin suddenly remembered the high-dimensional scene seen at the Oroñe Hotel.

All Paranormal Doctors were tied to the operating tables.

Could it be...

"The human soul doesn’t exist within the human physical body. The scalpels we hold, after cutting open the flesh, what do we see inside the human body? Have you ever seen a person’s internal organs after opening their body with a paranormal scalpel? No."

Then, she disclosed the shocking truth.

"All human souls originate from higher dimensions, located in the Abyss Hell! You and I are the same, our essence is fragile beings controlled by the indescribable entities of the Abyss World!"
