"Little Hades?"
Chen Ge stared at the taxi until the last bit of light from the vehicle's taillights was swallowed up by the night.
The outskirts of Xinhai are very desolate, with almost no pedestrians on the road.
Opening the comic book, Chen Ge asked all employees to get ready, and then he put the white cat on the ground.
The cautious white cat pricked up its ears, its heterochromatic eyes revealing a deep sense of uneasiness. It followed Chen Ge closely, wishing it could crawl into Chen Ge's clothes.
"Do you feel any danger?"
Chen Ge patted the white cat's head and took a deep breath. He left the main road and followed the path into the depths of the suburbs.
Passing through abandoned buildings, the surroundings became increasingly quiet; no insects could be heard, and no light could be seen.
"This area of unfinished buildings is a residential area. How come the construction was stopped after only the outer shell of the building was built?" Using Yin Pupil, Chen Ge saw that various fonts were sprayed on the outer wall of the building with red paint. It seemed that some workers ran to the top floor of the unfinished building to demand their wages, in order to threaten the developer. As a result, an accident occurred that day.
Not far from the unfinished residential area are large abandoned factories, including chemical plants and pharmaceutical factories, but most of the factories do not even have names.
The mottled rust on the guardrails proves that they have been there for a long time. No one has taken care of them, and all kinds of equipment have become large garbage that is difficult to handle.
Xinhai Suburbs was much larger than Chen Ge had imagined. The driver just drove to the edge of the suburbs and stopped without going inside.
In order to avoid being stuck on the main road, Chen Ge did not dare to walk along the main road. He could only grope his way slowly.
The previous communication with the police was not completely useless. At least he had a detailed understanding of the architectural layout of Xinhaiyuan Suburb during his previous visits to the police station.
The remote suburbs have been abandoned for too long, and the locations of various factories and abandoned buildings are only marked on police maps.
"Residential areas, various factories, cinemas, supermarkets, small parks, there are so many types of abandoned buildings in the suburbs, just like a forgotten city." Chen Ge had always wondered why the hospital built in the suburbs of Xinhai was called Xinhai Central Hospital. Now he slowly understood that if the suburbs were compared to an abandoned Xinhai, the Cursed Hospital was indeed in the center of this abandoned Xinhai.
"The mission requires us to arrive at Xinhai Central Hospital before midnight. Time is a bit tight, so I have to speed up."
If Xinhai is the territory of the Cursed Hospital, then the remote suburbs of Xinhai is their lair. Chen Ge must be extremely careful here.
At about eleven o'clock, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the distant suburbs of Xinhai, which was shrouded in darkness.
Chen Ge looked towards the direction where the light came from. It was a car speeding on the main road.
"It looks like the car from Hanjiang Forensic Medical College? Could it be that Old Wu and Zuo Han are here?"
Chen Ge knew very well how dangerous the Curse Hospital was, so he immediately took out his cell phone and called Old Wu.
"Old Wu! Are you guys coming to Xinhai Suburbs too?"
"It was Zuo Han who drove away the car! I parked the car in the parking space of the original apartment, and then lived in a hotel in the city center with Zuo Han. But half an hour ago, when I was taking a shower, Zuo Han took my car keys away! He is also missing, and I can't get through to him on the phone!"
"Zuo Han is not an impulsive person. Look around the room to see if he has left any clues for you!" Chen Ge was a little anxious. In a confrontation of the level of a horror house and a cursed hospital, no matter how smart Zuo Han was, he would surely die once he was involved.
"When I went to take a shower, he seemed to be reading a book... I found it, this is the book." The sound of Old Wu flipping through the pages of the book came from the other end of the phone: "Huh?"
"Did you find anything?"
"There are several words circled in pencil in this book." Old Wu read in a low voice: "人、屋、有、里?"
"There's someone in the room?" Chen Ge's eyes suddenly widened: "There's someone in the room! Old Wu! Leave that room immediately!"
When Chen Ge shouted this, there was no sound from the other end of the phone. No matter how he shouted, there was no response.
"The Cursed Hospital has taken action. What exactly do they want to get from the people around me?" The relationship between Chen Ge and Lao Wu was ordinary, and Lao Wu knew very few secrets, but even so, he was not let off by the Cursed Hospital.
Zhang Yi erased the memory of Old Wu accompanying Chen Ge to leave Hanjiang, and cursed the hospital for not getting anything valuable. This was the only good news at the moment.
"Are all the people related to me their targets? That hospital is good at curses. Could it be that they want to curse me through all the people related to me?"
Most curses require a medium. The more horrible the curse, the more things it requires. Chen Ge had a bad feeling in his heart.
"It takes time to complete the curse. They just attacked Old Wu. If my guess is correct, their curse should not be completed yet."
Chen Ge watched the car disappear into the darkness and quickened his pace.
At 11:30 pm, Chen Ge finally arrived near Xinhai Central Hospital.
This abandoned hospital is located in the remote suburb center of Xinhai. Several buildings are connected together to form an inverted cross. It looks lifeless and like a ghost cave.
"Is this where my parents disappeared?"
Chen Ge did not go through the main entrance. He summoned the red high heels and the bloody face and secretly observed from outside the hospital.
Xue Rong didn't expect that after escaping from the cursed hospital with great difficulty, she would return to this nightmare place today. The curse in her body was triggered, and if it weren't for the pressure of her red high heels, she would have lost her mind.
"Are you crazy? Why are you running here to die? Wouldn't it be better for you to just stay in Hanjiang?" Xue Rong tried hard to maintain his sanity.
"Stop talking nonsense. You worked as a night shift doctor in the Cursed Hospital. You should know a lot about it."
"I can't possibly go in again, just give up on that idea!" Xuerong showed signs of losing control, so Chen Ge used his red high heels to cast a new curse on Xuerong.
"The Cursed Hospital has captured my employees. They are threatening you with several lives. I am not negotiating with you now. If you don't help me, I will let my employees devour you now." Chen Ge's tone was cold. Being indecisive at this time would not only fail to save people, but would also harm himself.
The number of black threads on Xuerong's body continued to increase. The red high-heeled shoes cast all kinds of curses on Xuerong. When Xuerong was treating the red high-heeled shoes, he also cast different curses on the red high-heeled shoes. This can be regarded as the cycle of cause and effect.
“Stop!” Xuerong’s eyes were red, and black blood vessels appeared on the surface of her skin. She was in great pain at this moment: “The Curse Hospital will not arrest anyone casually. There are only two types of people that they can take a fancy to: one is doctors with training value, and the other is patients with certain characteristics! After all doctors are deceived into the hospital, they will start as interns on the day shift. As for patients, they are not so lucky. They will be locked up in the isolation ward. If they can survive for three days, they will get their own number.”
"Isolation ward?"
"Yes, all new patients will be locked up there." The black blood vessels on Xue Rong's skin disappeared. She looked at the red high heels with fear. The patient she had treated had turned into a terrifying monster. "The central hospital is very large, and the isolation ward is in the deepest part. I hope you can reconsider this."
"I think you may have misunderstood a little. I am not going to the isolation ward to save people."
"Then what do you want to do?" Xue Rong was a little confused.
"I want to completely destroy this hospital and not let go of any cursed person or ghost. After purifying the entire hospital, we can naturally save the people they kidnapped." Chen Ge waved his hand and urged, "Take us in."
Now that they were on the pirate ship, Xue Rong was powerless to resist, so she had no choice but to lead Chen Ge to the left side of the hospital: "This is the side door, which is relatively safer. Only people inside the hospital know it."
As Xuerong finished speaking, she saw a car parked next to the side door.
"Why is the car from Hanjiang Forensic Medical College parked here? Did Zuo Han enter the hospital from the side door? Didn't you say that only people inside the hospital know this door?"
"That's true!" Xue Rong was also confused: "I will never deliberately deceive you. The fate of falling into the hands of the hospital will be a thousand times worse than falling into your hands, so I will definitely choose to stand with you unconditionally!"
"Someone inside the hospital knows about this. Doesn't that mean they may have anticipated that I would come in from here? This route is not safe enough." Chen Ge shook his head and chose a more remote window.
At 11:54 pm, Chen Ge officially entered the Cursed Hospital.
Xinhai Central Hospital has obviously been abandoned for a long time, but there is a smell of disinfectant wafting inside the building. Shoe prints and footprints can occasionally be seen on the ground, as if people often walk in the corridors.
"When Captain Cai called me earlier, he said there was no sign of a living person in the entire hospital. Why did he lie? Was there anything standing next to him at the time?"
Using Yin Pupil, darkness could not affect Chen Ge, and he walked carefully in the corridor.
Before he walked far, Chen Ge saw a sentence written in blood-red paint on the wall of the corridor - Why hasn't this sick world been destroyed yet?
The hideous handwriting, coupled with the bright red paint, was extremely eye-catching.
Chen Ge frowned slightly and continued to walk forward. The truly crazy side of this abandoned hospital gradually emerged.
Yellowed death notices began to appear on the ground. Black and white photos of doctors were hung on the walls. The faces of some of the doctors had been dug out with fingernails, and the white coats were covered with needle marks.
"The owners of the cursed hospital are the director and the doctors. How could they just sit there and watch the doctor's photo being defaced like this?"
The situation was more complicated than Chen Ge had imagined. The long corridor in front of him seemed to have no end, and there seemed to be monsters hidden behind every door.
Traces of patients' struggles and resistance could be seen everywhere in the hospital. The walls were covered with layer upon layer of paint. The surface looked pure white, but in fact the inside was already rotten and gave off a foul smell.
"Everything here is abnormal, but I just can't sense the existence of ghosts." Chen Ge's five senses are far superior to those of ordinary people. After he entered the hospital, he did not sense any danger, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable all over, as if a living person was thrown into a quagmire.
The white cat, which had been on high alert outside the hospital, relaxed after entering the hospital. It followed Chen Ge with cat-like steps, and occasionally turned its head curiously.
"Don't be careless. This is how the nights in the Cursed Hospital are. You should be thankful that you didn't encounter any patients or night shift doctors. Each one is more terrifying than the other." Even after becoming a red-clothed man, Xue Rong still felt scared when he recalled certain memories.
"Are you sure? I feel as if all the evil spirits have left tonight." Chen Ge pushed the door of the ward and saw the handwriting left by the patient beside the bed - Who can take me away from this sick world.
"Why do all the people here think that the world is sick? Isn't it because they are sick that the world they see is distorted?"
There were a lot of writings, notes and scratches like this. Chen Ge felt that the hospital was intentionally creating this kind of atmosphere.
A normal person is told that he lives in a sick world, and then curses the hospital for showing that sickness through all kinds of crazy means in order to gain the recognition of that normal person.
Once one accepts this concept, the normal person will truly become a patient.
"No matter what, I can't waver. Even if this world is imperfect, it still exists!" Just by walking through a corridor, the words "morbid world" appeared before his eyes countless times.
Chen Ge now finally understood why he had that uncomfortable feeling. Xinhai Central Hospital was completely different from the outside world. It could even be said that the entire Xinhai suburbs were different from other places. This was actually a truly sick world.
"They seem to want to drive everyone who comes into the hospital crazy, whether they are doctors or patients."
The most terrifying thing about the cursed hospital is not that it kills a person, but that it completely changes a person, such as the ghost fetus.
Shadow's starting point was to pursue happiness, to desire to love and to be loved, but after encountering the cursed hospital, Shadow's world was distorted, and the child who originally had a chance to be redeemed turned into a fierce god in the world of black fog.
He committed countless murders and endured the most painful and desperate curse, and the culprit of all this was the cursed hospital.
Chen Ge didn't know why the Cursed Hospital did this. What he needed to be careful about now was that he must not be affected.
Starting with the kidnapping of the haunted house employees, the Cursed Hospital seems to have already started its plan.
Chen Ge wanted to destroy the Cursed Hospital, and the Cursed Hospital also wanted to turn Chen Ge into a patient.
The grievances and entanglements between the two sides began twenty years ago, spanning life and death and two cities, with countless forces interspersed, and all people and ghosts are waiting for this moment.
After walking out of the outpatient hall, Chen Ge entered the emergency building again. When Xuerong and the staff were not paying attention, he quietly rubbed the wedding ring on his finger.
Xiao Sun was somewhere in the basement of the hospital, and the two sides were very close to each other.
Chen Ge did not go directly to where Xiao Sun was, but continued to search according to the original plan. Along the way, he did not meet a living person, nor did he see a fierce ghost, until he found the entrance to the underground.
"Isolation Ward No. 1 is right down here. Let me warn you, it's very dangerous in here." Xuerong's expression became strange, and thin black lines appeared in his blood-red eyes. "The hospital is indeed a little special today. You'd better be more careful."
Looking at the dark passage, Chen Ge walked in quickly without hesitation.
