Hospital 444

Lehman’s words inevitably startled Dai Lin and Fang Zhou. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Devil..." Dai Lin hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?"

Now, they finally had an important clue!

Dai Lin feared that if Lehman did not know anything, he would be at a complete loss of what to do.

"In his early years, my father traveled extensively through Central and Eastern Europe, seeking inspiration for his magic. That’s how he met my mother."

Dai Lin remembered that Lehman’s mother was Austrian, and Austria was indeed a Central European country.

"However, after marrying my mother, he continued his travels. Each time he came home, it would only be for a few months. I recall as a child, on one occasion when he returned, there was a noticeable change in him."

"What kind of change?"

At this moment, Dai Lin still had the recording feature on his phone activated, capturing Lehman’s words. Although his Chinese was heavily accented, thankfully it was mostly intelligible, and there were no major issues with grammar.

"He said that he had finally found the true essence of magic. He told me that during his travels, he had encountered a Gypsy witch who had divined his fortune. This divination set him on the path to finding the true lost magic."

At the mention of "lost magic," Fang Zhou’s expression changed. He seemed to recall having heard something similar in the past, but he couldn’t remember where exactly.

"From then on, everyone around started to think that my father was mentally unstable. His style of magic increasingly became bizarre and peculiar. However, as a child, I greatly admired my father and didn’t find anything strange about him."

"But..."

But what?

Lehman looked at the photograph.

"I always had a feeling that when my father came back that time, he wasn’t alone. There was ’something’ following him."

Looking at the photograph, Dai Lin asked, "You think..."

"It may sound crazy, but I believe it’s true. Until Alice Chen appeared by his side, becoming his assistant, I suspected that she had some connection with that ’something’."

Afterward, Lehman added, "I can only tell you guys this. To anyone else, I would just be seen as a complete lunatic."

Dai Lin stared at the photograph for a long time, and then, suddenly, a warning came through his Devil’s Eye.

Warning him... not to look any further!

Absolutely not to look any further!

Dai Lin gripped his eyes firmly; he remembered when Dai Wei went to An Minglu’s home, the Devil’s Eye had similarly conveyed the same sense of danger.

Indeed, something was hidden in this photograph.

The so-called...

Devil!

...

Song Min was walking along the corridor on the fifth floor of the inpatient department at Hospital 444.

Her gaze was fixed on each person passing by, ensuring that she did not miss anyone in her search.

The sensation of the ghost had disappeared on this floor of the inpatient building.

No ordinary human could do such a thing; it had to be an evil spirit... or a Paranormal Doctor!

"It’s really here!"

Upon realizing this, Song Min immediately utilized her charm, bringing all the ghosts in the hospital under her control.

Controlling ghosts was not a difficult task for a department head, even if the numbers were somewhat large.

She still checked the hospital’s floor plan and arranged for the ghosts to follow her commands. There was no need to search the inpatient building just yet, as the ghosts were too weak.

If the other party dared not return to the hospital, then it was enough to just seal off the inpatient building to prevent any unexpected occurrences. She also sealed off the other exits of the hospital, just in case.

Then... just like with Lu Ning before, the ghosts collectively established a visual link with Song Min. She could simultaneously see the same scene through the eyes of dozens of ghosts, ensuring not to miss any detail.

Currently, the Paranormal Doctor protecting the target could only choose to fight her head-on. As for her, she could just slowly search the inpatient department.

Song Min was not worried about the Paranormal Doctor. In the entire Hospital 444, as long as those coming forth were neither the three deputy directors nor doctors from the Demons Department, she did not fear the other departments much. Even if it were Li Bolin or An Zhiyuan in person, it would be the same.

She was holding a piece of diary paper made from her own facial skin, with written predictions of the events she would soon encounter.

No matter what she was about to face...

She could alter the future to a certain extent.

It was clearly written on the diary paper that all entrances and exits of the inpatient department were guarded by ghosts, and all ghosts were linked with her perception.

Unless they teleported into the hospital, once inside, no matter where they hid, Song Min had methods to find them.

At this moment...

Lu Yuqing could be considered the most troubled person.

She and Luo Ren were supporting Nie Xiuzhu, preparing to leave the hospital, only to find that all the exits were guarded by ghostly spirits!

Forcing their way out wasn’t difficult, but Lu Yuqing increasingly suspected that this wasn’t a curse, but the work of a paranormal doctor!

Recalling how Dai Lin had repeatedly forbidden her from taking Luo Ren to Hospital 444, she realized where the problem lay. Dai Lin dreaded some forces within the hospital that would be harmful to Luo Ren!

Although she had no idea why this was the case...

What to do?

Lu Yuqing couldn’t help but feel a headache looming.

Even though Dai Lin had repeatedly insisted that she not take Luo Ren to the hospital, it seemed there was no other choice now. A forceful entry could easily alert the enemy.

"Luo Ren, we might have to go to the hospital now," she said.

Hearing this, Nie Xiuzhu asked with confusion, "Aren’t we already in a hospital?"

Luo Ren couldn’t afford to explain to his mother and said in a low voice, "But Dai Lin said over and over, we can’t go to Hospital 444!"

"We can’t just barge in..."

Lu Yuqing was well aware that there were no other options at this moment.

She couldn’t predict how long these ghosts would guard the hospital doors.

The enemy would find them sooner or later!

Lu Yuqing grabbed Luo Ren’s hand and said with unwavering determination, "Our only choice now... is to go to the hospital!"

...

At this point in time, Dai Lin was still completely unaware of everything.

"Why do you think there’s a ’devil’ around your father?"

"I can’t explain it clearly," Reiman shook his head and said, "But I just have this strange feeling. Also, occasionally, I’ve heard my dad say some strange things."

"Like what?"

"He mentioned a person’s name several times, Dai Wei."

Dai...

Wei?

Upon hearing this name, Dai Lin’s eyes suddenly trembled!

He had a vague feeling that the name was remarkably familiar!

It seemed like he had heard it before!

"But we never had anyone by the name Dai Wei around us. What’s more, incredibly, there was one time I heard him talking on the phone, mentioning the name Dai Wei. To prevent him from denying it later, I recorded his conversation with a tape recorder. He was talking to his female assistant, Alice, but later, when I played the recording, I found... whenever Dai Wei’s name was mentioned, there would be no sound!"

"Every time? What was he talking about on the phone?"

"He wasn’t speaking German or English, I could only catch the word Dai Wei. Later, that tape was lost."

Dai Lin then said, "Hmm... You just mentioned the name Dai Wei..."

The Devil’s Eye continued to warn Dai Lin, and at the same time, the demon sealed in his right eye also began to change at this moment!

Dai Lin was beginning to understand that asking further questions could potentially involve extremely horrific matters.

As a resident doctor in the hospital, he couldn’t resolve such things!

If it were just a regular patient, Dai Lin wasn’t a saint or a Bodhisattva, he could have let it be. But the problem was... the other person was Luo Ren!

His best friend!

The son of Dr. Luo Zheng, who sacrificed himself to save his parents! And his wife!

Suppressing his fear of danger, Dai Lin resolutely continued to inquire, "Do you have any other clues?"

"There is one more." He shook his head, "Among the words he said at that time, there was only one term that was in German. Dämon... it means demon in Chinese."

Suddenly, Fang Zhou remembered!

Lost Magic...

Han Ming, who had been to North America, had once mentioned this term to him!

"The lost magic will awaken the true demon..."
