Hospital No. 444

"Listen, this car can't be driven any further."

Dai Lin told Alex what he had just seen.

"The situation is very similar to the previous one..."

Alex is actually under a lot of pressure.

After all, the last time, when he and Melty were about to meet, a ghost appeared. But this time it's different. We haven't even come close to Washington, D.C., but here in Baltimore, we have already encountered this situation.

"I'm afraid there are many more things that will happen next."

Alex touched his chest. In order to prevent any possible situation, he had prepared his pistol in advance. After all, when I went to Detroit before, I encountered a shootout.

Dai Lin then said to him: "Are you ready? In the worst case scenario, we may have to walk to Washington."

"Well...I'm prepared."

Alex's expression was extremely determined, without any wavering.

Frankly speaking, Dai Lin really admired Alex and Melty. Most people couldn't be that tough-minded.

"No matter what, I have to meet the mother and daughter. No one can stop us."

When he said these words, Alex's eyes could almost burst out of fire.

Surprisingly, not a trace of fear could be seen.

"Let's find a place to have a meal first, and then discuss... the next plan."

Unless it is absolutely necessary, of course I don’t want to walk to Washington, as it would be too difficult. Dai Lin felt that he could still discuss a perfect plan with Alex.

…

"What exactly is the Curse of the Law of Causality?"

In an Italian restaurant, Dai Lin and Alex were chatting.

Alex himself still has a hard time truly understanding the Curse of Causality.

"Why can't Melty and I meet each other due to this curse? I couldn't understand Dr. Green's explanation to me at all."

"It's normal if you don't understand."

The curse of the law of cause and effect is an extremely complex concept, and it can also be said to be a curse that is close to unsolvable. For Hospital No. 444, it is also a very high-end problem. There are only a few doctors who can study this issue clearly.

In the past, Dai Lin could not find many papers on the curse of the law of cause and effect on the hospital's official website. There will be no academic misconduct within the hospital. In other words, there will be no problems with the quality of the papers that can be published on the hospital's official website. The dean will not defend you. If the paper is published, it proves that the arguments of the paper are strong. As for Dai Lin, it was difficult to fully understand these papers.

"For example, when Melty and I went to Detroit, we encountered a gang shootout. Later I investigated...it was two gangs that had been feuding for decades. At that time, Mei and I Erti wasn’t even born yet.”

"Yes, this is the curse of the law of cause and effect."

"I still find it difficult to understand..."

Apparently, the Curse of Causality is harder for Alex to understand than the ghost itself.

"So, it is even more difficult to develop a spell that can master this kind of law."

"Doctor Dai," Alex asked uneasily, "is that... still with us now?"

He didn't dare to say the word "ghost".

The moment he said these words, suddenly, a bullet passed by his cheek, and then, a man sitting two meters behind him who was dining... was shot in the head instantly!

At this moment, everyone realized that someone had been shot in the restaurant!

Everyone was so scared that Alex didn't even have the first reaction to draw his gun.

Dai Lin pounced on Alex and pinned him down.

A bald man armed with two revolvers started killing people indiscriminately in the restaurant!

"It is indeed a free America, shooting every day!"

Dai Lin immediately looked at the man with the gun, angrily preparing to kill him.

With Dai Lin's current strength, killing an ordinary person was no different than squeezing an ant to death.

In the past, it was necessary to extract the opponent's soul, but now, Dai Lin can annihilate his soul in an instant!

The moment the bald man saw Dai Lin, he immediately fell to the ground and died!

Dai Lin helped Alex, who was shivering all over, and the latter looked at the dead man in horror.

"Are you...are you kidding me?"

Dead people.

This time it's really dead!

This causal curse is really deadly!

"I, I...I..."

Alex lost consciousness and fainted.

The restaurant fell into chaos, and most people escaped. Dai Lin didn't want to cause trouble when the police arrived, so he also helped the unconscious Alex out.

In the United States, it is not uncommon for murderers to appear who shoot and kill people indiscriminately.

But there is no doubt that this cannot be a coincidence.

Dai Lin was puzzled at this time, why did this happen?

This curse of cause and effect can kill people. Since this can be done, if Alex is killed directly, he and Melty will naturally not be able to meet each other.

The only way to explain it is... what this curse needs to achieve is the condition that "Alex and Melty cannot meet while both parties are alive."

This kind of thing...

No matter how you think about it, it feels outrageous.

Curse, evil spirits... only have malice towards living beings, but this kind of torture that does not cause physical harm but is purely killing people is incomprehensible.

Alex woke up on a bench in the park.

"You're fine." Dai Lin is a surgeon himself, and his eyes are now comparable to CT machines, so he can see Alex's condition clearly.

"I, I..." Alex recalled the bullet that almost grazed his cheek and the people who died behind him.

Someone died!

Someone died!

The most important reason why he was so persistent and made appointments with Melty again and again was that this curse would never cause casualties to him, Melty, and innocent people.

The gang shooting did not count, they were all gangsters. In Alex's opinion, the more people died, the better.

But now, there are innocent people who died because he was implicated!

"How could this happen... In the past, no innocent people were implicated." Alex began to speak incoherently, "How could someone die... What exactly is this curse for... Is it just to force Melty and I not to meet??"

Alex has always felt that this curse is not that scary after all, and there is always a way to solve it. After all, there are many powerful curse cases in Hospital 666 that kill dozens of people. And curses like his, even if the dead are gangsters, are not directly killed by ghosts, which is rare.

"What should I do..."

Alex began to get scared, which means that if he continues to go to Washington, he may be the next to die.

Even if he doesn't die, someone else may die!

In any case, public transportation is absolutely not an option. Driving is absolutely not an option. If the car breaks down, it will also cost lives!

"Calm down first," Dai Lin persuaded, "After all, you just saw someone..."

"Doctor Dai, forget it," Alex finally made up his mind, "Put aside the plan to meet in Washington this time. I... I can't let innocent people get involved and die just because I want to meet Melty! In this way, wouldn't I be too selfish?"

"I'm sorry... If it was before, whether you met or not, it didn't matter to the hospital. But now, the nature has changed."

"Now?"

"At present, the only person who may meet Melty is you who has been implanted with the curse. And no doctor can get in touch with Natsume Kakuji who is following Melty closely. Lelia Faust will take Natsume Kakuji back to the hospital at all costs, so if you decide not to go now..."

Although Dai Lin and Lelia Faust have only met a few times, he already knows her style of doing things.

This woman will never care about the lives of anyone outside the Faust family. As long as she can achieve her goal, she will never blink an eye no matter how many innocent people she sacrifices. What's more, Natsume Kakuji has almost become the top priority of Hospital No. 666.

After Dai Lin explained the situation to Alex, the latter was stunned: "This... This has nothing to do with me, right?"

"I'm sorry... Now you are the only one who has the hope of meeting her. There is no use sending ordinary people to contact Natsume Kakuji. As long as you ask not to meet, a doctor will be sent immediately to forcibly escort you to Washington. Even if you don't want to see her now, you can't."

"Why is it still like this?"

"After all, the hospital is not a hospital that really aims to save lives and treat diseases."

Alex was scared.

"If we continue to approach Washington, won't someone else die?"

The most important thing is... the one who is most likely to die is himself!

The bullet just now almost took his life!

Just at this time, the hospital called again.

This time...

Finally, it was Lelia Faust herself who called.

"Doctor Dai, has Mr. Alex decided not to go to Washington?"

Dai Lin was shocked.

How could she know?

Is there a bug on her?

Or is this her cursed ability?

Before Dai Lin could answer, she continued: "Persuade him to continue to go to Washington, Dr. Dai. If he refuses, then you can use any means to take him to Washington. In any case, please bring Natsume Kakujiu back. As long as this causal curse is broken, I will have a way to bring Natsume Kakujiu back." "An innocent restaurant guest has already been involved in the curse and died..."

"So what?"

Lelia just said a faint "So what".

"Did I kill him?"

"What I mean is, if we force them to continue to meet, innocent people may be involved, and even Alex himself may die..."

"Then please protect him with all your strength, Dr. Dai, and don't let anyone hurt Alex."

"I..."

"Take him to Washington, meet Melty, and bring back Natsume Kakajiu. If you can do this, I can agree to any conditions you want, Dr. Dai. If you can't do it, you should know my character, Lelia Faust. I always keep my word."

Then she hung up the phone.

From beginning to end, it was a completely imperative tone.

After hanging up the phone, she glanced at Virgil, who was sitting next to her.

"I'm afraid you have to go out and help Dr. Dai. I don't want anything to go wrong in this matter again. The curse of the law of cause and effect must be in my hands, and it must be in the hands of our Faust family. Natsume Ikaruga and Natsume Zhu The Lu sisters will all marry into our family in the future.”

"Marriage...who should she marry? Silas or George?"

"As long as it is a marriage with the Faust family. We have no children, so we can only consider other unmarried family members." Lelia suddenly saw that Virgil was still sitting motionless on the sofa and said, "I just seemed to be Tell you...I need you to take action, right?"

"I heard it, and I heard it clearly."

"My impression is that usually when I say this, you will act immediately, Virgil."

"I just heard Doctor Dai's voice on the other end of the phone. If this continues, more innocent people will be involved, and the patient, Mr. Alex, may also die."

"You don't want to talk to me about some issues about human morality, do you?" Lelia's cold face was full of jest: "Virgil Faust, you have been a member of our family for so many years, and now you suddenly start to have justice. Do you need me to emphasize with you the meaning of the sentence "If you ask me for help, you will be guilty of me"? "

"But there's no need..."

"If there is no Natsume Ikaruga, of course it is not necessary. I have no interest in whether the couple can meet. And now, the legacy of the law of cause and effect curse left by Natsume Heisuke will finally come to fruition. For this, any sacrifice is acceptable. of."

Virgil looked at Lelia coldly.

This "any sacrifice" obviously includes him, Virgil.

From the beginning to now... For Lelia Faust, her only value is to be the host of the devil's curse.

Although he has always known this, now he feels it even more strongly.

"I'm not going. Send someone else there."

"I don't want to lose the backbone of the department. I don't worry about others going."

"I can lose it, right?" Virgil's voice became even colder.

"If you go, you can definitely come back alive." Lelia became increasingly dissatisfied. Vergil, who was usually as obedient as a loyal dog, why did he start talking to him in this tone today?

"Just because I forgot how your father died in the first place? Just because of such a trivial matter?"

"This... little thing?"

"Our family will rule the hospital forever. In the future, it will also assimilate with the abyss and become an eternal existence. Is it important how the dead people died? What is important is our future."

It is "your" future.

Virgil replied decisively: "I won't go. If you are dissatisfied, just have me executed!"

Happy National Day to everyone
