Hospital No. 444.

Chapter 683 Fang Zhou and Wen Xiaoshu

The sky over Suyuan Mountain cracked open.

The dark cracks spread like a spider web, tearing the entire sky into a broken puzzle. The moon was dyed blood red, hanging in the center of the cracks, like a bloodshot eyeball, coldly watching the world that was about to collapse.

The mountain is becoming higher-dimensional - the rocks are twisted into non-Euclidean geometric shapes, the branches of the trees are wriggling like tentacles, and the mist is condensed into a translucent film that covers the surface of all objects, as if the entire world is being "digested" by some higher-dimensional existence.

Klein Faust stood on the top of the mountain. He looked at the changes in the sky with a sneer on his face.

"The Dean...is finally coming."

A man in a scarlet protective suit stood beside him, and the voice under the gas mask was distorted like electronic noise: "As long as Pandora's Eye is restored, this world will be completely assimilated into the abyss."

Klein didn't answer.

He didn't need to answer.

Because his father, Mephistopheles Faust, has arrived.

In the mist, a tall figure walked slowly towards them. It was the Vice President Mephisto Faust.

"Klein." His voice was low and majestic. "You disappoint me."

Klein's muscles tensed slightly, but his expression remained calm: "Father."

Mavis's eyes swept across the scarlet protective suit and then fell back to his son: "Where is Pandora's Eye?"

"It was taken away by Dai Lin."

"Waste." Mavis's voice was light, but as sharp as a knife. "You can't even deal with a half-crippled Demon Eye holder?"

Klein's right eye twitched slightly, but he did not refute.

Just then, a soft female voice came from the fog: "Mephis, don't be too harsh on him."

The person who came was Ophelia Faust, Crane's mother and Mephis' wife. She was wearing a white coat and had a silver dagger on her waist, which was her exclusive cursed item as a hunter.

Facing her son, her face was gentle but her eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

At this time, she didn't know that her daughter Lelia was dead.

"Klein has done a great job." She gently pressed her husband's shoulder. "The arrival of the dean is full of uncertainties. You have to know that the apartment is behind everything."

Mavis snorted, but said nothing more.

Klein looked at his mother with a complicated expression. For a moment, he didn't know how to talk about Lelia's death.

Ophelia smiled at him and whispered, "Go and complete your mission."

Klein nodded and turned to walk towards the altar on the top of the mountain.

The scarlet suits followed closely behind.

Mephisto and Ophelia stood there, watching the world gradually crumbling.

Wen Xiaoshu walked in the fog.

Her consciousness was blurred, and her body was controlled by some invisible force like a puppet. In her arms, she was holding Fang Xiaomeng, her and Fang Zhou's daughter, and behind her, there was a "shadow".

It was not a human, or even a ghost, but a chaotic, constantly twisting darkness, which occasionally condensed into a vague female outline, but dissipated into mist the next second.

Plum disease.

Fang Zhou's first wife, the patient of Hospital No. 444 who was cursed by Suyuan Mountain and turned into a devil, has now become part of the abyss. She has no consciousness, no language, but instinctively guides Wen Xiaoshu towards the center of Suyuan Mountain.

In Wen Xiaoshu's mind, fragmented memories flashed back like a revolving lantern -

It was a rainy night at the subway station.

Wen Xiaoshu was squeezed into the carriage by the crowd holding an umbrella. The metal frame of the umbrella accidentally scratched a man's arm, and blood gushed out instantly.

"I'm sorry! I, I didn't mean it!" she apologized hurriedly.

But the man's face turned pale in an instant: "You! You... I... I am a hemophiliac..."

Hemophilia means that a person has difficulty stopping bleeding normally after an injury.

His family member grabbed Wen Xiaoshu's collar angrily: "Do you know this will cost him his life?!"

Wen Xiaoshu was trembling all over and his mind went blank.

Just then, a deep voice sounded: "Let go."

She looked up and saw a tall, handsome man standing next to her with a stern look in his eyes.

"I'm a doctor," he said.

Then, he reached out and pressed his hand on the patient's wound.

Miraculously, the bleeding stopped.

He is the Ark.

Later, she fell in love with him, married him, and raised Fang Xiaomeng, their daughter born to his deceased wife.

But she always felt that Mei Yang would always have a place in Fang Zhou's heart.

The memory stopped abruptly.

Wen Xiaoshu's eyes were moist.

She doesn't want to die.

She also didn't want Fang Xiaomeng to die.

But she couldn't control her body.

Mei Yang's "shadow" pushed her gently, and she continued to move forward.

The fog suddenly cleared away.

Wen Xiaoshu found himself standing in an open space, surrounded by dozens of doctors from Hospital No. 666 wearing yellow protective suits, who were busy setting up some kind of ritual formation.

In the center of the open space, there is a transparent culture cabin.

Wen Xiaoshu's pupils suddenly contracted.

"here it is???"

She was finally able to make a sound from her throat, but the next second, Klein walked in front of her.

"Welcome, ma'am." Klein's voice was cold and mechanical. "Your daughter, no... I should say your stepdaughter, is very important to us." Wen Xiaoshu trembled all over and hugged Xiaomeng tightly: "Please... let her go..."

The man in scarlet protective suit raised his hand to signal.

Two people in protective suits stepped forward and forcibly snatched Fang Xiaomeng from her arms.

"Mom——!" the little girl cried and stretched out her hands.

The child never knew that she was not Wen Xiaoshu's biological daughter.

Wen Xiaoshu collapsed to his knees and said, "No! She's just a child! What are you going to do?!"

"Research." The scarlet protective suit said calmly, "Her bloodline is very special - her father is a vicious surgeon at Hospital 444, and her mother was contaminated by the Abyss. This kind of child is a perfect carrier of the 'memetic curse'. The arrival of the dean cannot be accidental, and we need a stronger curse to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Wen Xiaoshu's world collapsed.

She couldn't hear or understand what these people were saying at all, but she only knew... they wanted to hurt Xiao Meng!

But she didn’t know…

Mei Yang didn't want to kill them - she wanted to sacrifice her daughter to the abyss.

"boom--!"

With a loud bang, the fog at the edge of the clearing was torn apart by some force!

Fang Zhou's figure rushed out like a ghost, his blood boiling and turning into a red torrent that swept over!

"Let go of my daughter—!"

His roar shook the entire valley, and a wave of blood instantly engulfed the three men in protective suits, forcibly draining the blood from their bodies!

"Ark?!" Wen Xiaoshu looked up in disbelief.

But the next second, a black shadow flashed by——

"Boom!"

The Ark was knocked flying and crashed into the rock wall, blood spurting out of its mouth.

Li Bolin - his colleague, the Mediterranean doctor who always held the Bible and said "Amen" - rushed out closely after him, but before he could cast a spell, a scarlet ray pierced his shoulder!

"Ahh!" Li Bolin fell to his knees and the Bible fell.

The scarlet protective suit slowly lowered his hand, and the voice under the gas mask was emotionless: "Don't overestimate your own abilities."

Fang Zhou struggled to get up, and his blood coagulated again, but his strength was almost exhausted.

Wen Xiaoshu cried and tried to rush towards him, but was held down by the protective suit.

"Dad——!" Fang Xiaomeng's crying tore through the night sky.

Fang Zhou's eyes were bloodshot. He looked at the scarlet protective suit, then at Wen Xiaoshu and his daughter who were being controlled, and finally -

Looked at the chaotic darkness.

Mei Yang's shadow stood quietly in the fog, watching him silently.

"Start right away."

At a command from the scarlet protective suit, Fang Xiaomeng was placed in the incubation chamber. Countless catheters pierced her skin to draw blood.

Wen Xiaoshu cried and struggled heartbreakingly, but to no avail.

Fang Zhou and Li Bolin were pinned to the ground, unable to move.

And the crack in the sky is getting bigger and bigger.

Under the blood moon, the land of Suyuan Mountain began to dissolve, the rules of higher dimensions eroded reality, and the boundary between the inner world and the outer world became completely blurred.

The arrival of the dean is unstoppable.

The night of human extinction——

Officially arrived.

Fang Zhou looked at the scene where Wen Xiaoshu was pinned to the ground.

The hair that was raised when she struggled suddenly overlapped with a rainy day in her memory——

It was when they first met, she turned around in the subway car to apologize, and her wet ponytail brushed the third button of his white coat.

At that time, she was being shaken by the collar of a hemophiliac's family, and the ribs of the umbrella left red marks on her wrists.

"I, I really didn't mean it."

Her voice was as fragile as a piece of paper soaked by rain. When Fang Zhou stretched out his hand to separate the angry family members, he noticed a beauty mark under her eye.

The process of stopping the bleeding took only thirty seconds, but the feeling of raindrops hanging on the girl's eyelashes dripping on the back of his hand seemed to last for three whole days.

Later, she insisted on treating him to a meal as a thank you, and he refused repeatedly, but it was useless. So, he added her on WeChat.

Now thinking about it, was it really because he couldn't resist her that he added her on WeChat?

It was raining again on the day we had dinner. The rain was even heavier than when we met at the subway station that day, and it even blew away Wen Xiaoshu's umbrella.

At the entrance of the hotel, she was wringing the water from the hem of her skirt in a somewhat embarrassed manner, with water still dripping from her hair.

When she looked up, she showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Doctor Fang, can I take a ride home from you later?"

Afterwards...the melody of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" in the car drowned out the sound of their breathing.

The sound of metal collisions dragged Fang Ark back to reality. Five men in protective suits were using special shackles to fix Li Bolin, and the "flesh gallows" in the hands of the sixth man was emitting the unique cold light of an autopsy knife.

The moment the blade cut into his abdomen, Li Bolin suddenly laughed out loud: "That light is the real light——"

The crisp sound of the scalpel cutting through the costal cartilage interrupted his recitation.

There was no expected internal organs pouring out. A shriveled priest in a black robe curled up in Li Bolin's open chest, with a cross deeply embedded in his carotid artery. This was the evil spirit attached to the evil curse implanted in his body, so his personality was affected later, and he held a Bible all day.

The protective suits skillfully used the bone saw to separate the spine, and the priest's remaining limbs were automatically formed into a prayer position in the petri dish.

The scarlet protective suit used a straw to absorb the black mist remaining in Li Bolin's hollow body: "The contamination rate of the cursed item is 92%, but the stability is as high as 99.9%."

At this moment, Ophelia's hunting knife suddenly floated in the air, the tip of the knife pointed to the southeast at an angle of 30 degrees and kept shaking. She cut open her palm and dripped blood onto the blade, and the blood drop immediately split into seven suspended cubes.

"Dai Lin is here, in the seventh wrinkled dimension." She licked the blood off her palm, "We need to move faster. Whoever reaches him first... will be the winner. Klein, act now. By the way, where are Lelia and Virgil? Where are they?"

"Mother... please be prepared... Lelia, she..."
