Hospital No. 444

Looking back to this day, Virgil still remembers that afternoon.

The weather was very nice that day.

But it was a very bad day for Virgil.

Because he held countless bills in his hands.

Correspondingly, Virgil's bank account is increasingly stretched.

He opened the drawer and looked at the Colt M1911 pistol lying in the drawer.

Of course...even if he is deeply in debt, he will not consider suicide. The reason why I looked at this gun was to recall some of the glory that belonged to the family... although there is no family to speak of now.

This is the pistol my grandfather used when he fought in World War II.

In the end, my father insisted on keeping the gun handed down from his grandfather. But in the end, he only had glory left to speak of, and glory could not prevent him from dying of illness.

Virgil looked at the translation manuscripts on his desk that he had completed more than half of. He was proficient in Latin and had always used translation manuscripts as his main source of employment. But the publisher repeatedly withheld wages, and it was difficult for him to pay social insurance.

Just then, the cell phone on his desk rang.

Virgil picked up the phone and looked at it doubtfully, and then froze.

Because the caller is...

"Lelia Faust???"

Virgil picked up the phone, and for a moment he even wondered if he had seen it wrong.

About a month ago, college classmates reorganized a class reunion.

At that class reunion, Virgil saw his former classmates. Most people are doing much better than him.

The reason why he went to the class reunion was actually just to meet again with a few people with whom he could still chat with.

And at the class reunion, Virgil met again...Lelia Faust.

Her special surname and amazing beauty are all impressive.

Virgil looked at his cell phone and was stunned for several seconds. At that time, classmates were just exchanging cell phone numbers with each other out of politeness. He never thought that this popular figure in the school was even the cheerleader of the school football team. The college beauty who was overwhelmed by her beauty actually took the initiative to contact me?

Finally, Virgil answered the phone.

"Hello... hello?"

"Hello, Virgil." came her mobile phone with her extremely standard British English pronunciation that was completely different from American English.

At the beginning, everyone had rumors that Lelia Faust was a noble lady from Europe. The most exaggerated claim was that the family was guests of Buckingham Palace. Although this statement is an exaggeration, Americans have limited knowledge of British nobles in Europe, so there are still many people who believe it. At least, there is no doubt that Lelia Faust’s family is rich.

Virgil had always wanted to save money to travel to Eurasia. His grandmother is French and his mother is Chinese. So, he always wanted to travel across Eurasia, but now, he couldn't even pay the bills.

Many Americans have a sense of superiority in front of Europeans, and even think that Americans can go to Europe to hunt for women as they please, because the whole world is yearning for the United States. Virgil really couldn't understand this sense of superiority. The United States only has a history of less than three hundred years, while the cultural heritage of European history is much longer.

During the class reunion, Lelia mentioned that she would not stay in the United States for long this time, so is she still in the United States, or... has she returned to Europe?

"Well, are you free tomorrow? I want to meet with you. There are some things I want to discuss with you."

Meet tomorrow... So, she is still in the United States? Well, she's still in Los Angeles, exactly?

"Okay, okay. I'm free tomorrow."

The translation of the book manuscript has almost been completed.

But the question is...why is Lelia looking for herself?

During their college days, he and Lelia could only be considered moderate friends. This is because he has studied European history very well, so he and Lelia can have a relatively good conversation, and their historical views are surprisingly consistent.

"I want to make a suggestion to you. I would like to meet and discuss this suggestion with you tomorrow."

"Suggestion?" Virgil remembered that at the class reunion, he mentioned his current career situation to Lelia.

"Well, I can't tell you what the suggestion is right now?"

Could it be that... she wanted to introduce herself to a job for the sake of friendship between classmates?

Looking at the thick bills next to him, for Virgil now, work is indeed a top priority. It is indeed difficult to pay these bills just by translating manuscripts.

"I'm sorry, this is not something that can be explained over the phone. But... I remind you that this suggestion will be accompanied by dangers. But the dangers will also bring huge benefits. You have one day to think about it. Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning Click to meet and I will send you the address via text message.”

"Danger?"

"Yes. You should think about it carefully."

With danger comes profit...could he be introduced to some illegal profession?

But recalling his impression of Lelia when he was a student, Virgil thought it was unlikely. She doesn't seem like that.

"Okay, I'll consider it."

…

That night, Virgil thought about Lelia's phone call over and over again.

When I was in college, when my class saw Lelia, a British international student, for the first time, countless people were shocked. She looks no less than those female stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Regardless of her appearance or figure, she can turn heads 100% when she walks.

She was invited to join many clubs, but she was not interested in any of them.

And she doesn’t live in a dormitory, she has always been a day student. Every time she was picked up or dropped off, it was a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

At that time, even if it was James Bond who came to pick her up, some people would believe it.

At the last class reunion, when everyone saw Lelia, many people's first reaction was to pay attention to the ring finger of her left hand. After discovering that there was no wedding ring on it, many people became interested in reminiscing with her. In addition to whether she has a boyfriend, another issue that everyone is also concerned about is her current career.

And what she said was...she now inherited the family-run hospital and became a surgeon.

This surprised everyone because no one had ever heard her mention that she wanted to be a doctor. Her major in college was not medicine.

The next day.

After some thinking, Virgil decided to go there.

It is recommended whether it is dangerous or not. Just listen to the details and then decide. If it is really a particularly dangerous profession, just refuse it.

…

…

The memories are over for now.

Virgil, surrounded by a large group of people behind him, walked to the entrance of the manor, walked past the heads of the Daeron family, and came to David.

"Hello." Virgil looked at the young David in front of him and introduced himself: "My name is Virgil Faust. Now, I will take you to see Vice Dean Mephis."

Looking at David who was brought here by the Mellor twins, Virgil thought of himself back then.

What would have happened if he hadn't rushed there the next day when he received Lelia's call?

But now, maybe David will face the same choice as himself.

Looking at the hanging heads, David's legs were obviously a little weak. After all, it was not just a human head, but a cursed object!

"He, they... seem to be looking at me..." David noticed early on that the eyes of these heads had been focused on him.

"Don't worry, they are all under the control of my Faust family now." Virgil comforted David.

"Da... Damon Darren, is he in here too?" David had heard this name more than once since he entered Hospital 666.

"He's not here." Virgil shook his head slightly, "He will handle it specially."

The brother of the Mellor twins behind David said: "Remember, when you meet the Vice-President later, don't mention this name in front of him."

The younger brother of the Mellor twins said: "Damon Darren is extremely ignorant to begin with. If it weren't for the witch Lusa Medel, he wouldn't have caused the entire Darren family to perish."

"Let's go." Virgil said, "Don't be nervous. Today... the Vice-Dean will give you a suggestion. Although it is dangerous... it will also bring great benefits."
