Blood City descended. The sea of fog was swept away. The indescribable, crushing pressure made everyone's hearts tremble.
Chains etched with despair dug deep into
No one knew what he had encountered inside Blood City. The aura he now radiated was even more terrifying than
His crimson eyes slowly withdrew from the blood threads behind the white cat and fixed on the monster bearing the hospital on its back.
He made his decision in an instant. As long as he crippled this monster, the Cursed Hospital would find it extremely difficult to move through the sea of fog — and that would give Blood City its chance to devour the hospital.
"I'm the one who committed every sin, yet you cursed my wife to death."
"I've been hiding and running, begging you to give me a chance. But you refused to relent — chasing me all the way from Xinhai to Hanjiang, from beyond the door to inside it."
"Now I have nothing left. No family. No past."
The chains roared, countless black patterns coiling around them. Doctor Gao knew he was no match for the many fierce spirits within the hospital, so from the very beginning, he had never intended to win.
He would pour everything into the most reliable method — mutual destruction. He didn't need to win. He only needed to ensure he wouldn't lose.
Doctor Gao was the first variable. The boundless Blood City drew ever closer to the hospital.
The Psychic Ghost School had once stood right on Blood City's border, but because it had drawn too near, it had been swallowed whole by that crimson expanse.
The Hospital Director's calm expression finally changed. He recognized Doctor Gao.
His icy gaze shifted between Doctor Gao and Doctor Sun, and the Director's face grew darker and darker. The two doctors he had placed the greatest hope on in his entire life now both stood against him, having become mortal enemies.
"Man stands opposed to god. I was meant to make you into a god without weakness, and yet you want to drag me down with you?"
"Nothing more than a ghost that can endure more pain and despair — and you call that a god?" Doctor Gao's raised arm slammed downward, driving a chain deep into the hospital's lowest level.
Ghastly crimson began to spread. The boundless Blood City, like a titanic beast awakened, opened its fang-filled maw toward the Cursed Hospital.
The entire hospital began to shake. When the blood threads reached the door at the very bottom of the hospital, the fierce spirit bearing the hospital abandoned
It wanted to hold the door, but Doctor Gao was not Chen Ge.
The moment the hospital's fierce spirit drew its body inward, Doctor Gao had already driven a chain down onto that door with tremendous force.
"You're far too slow."
Bloodstains appeared on the black door. It had originally been blood-red, but countless curses cloaked its surface, making it appear pure black from a distance.
The old and new presidents of the Paranormal Association saw the battle's turning point with astonishing unanimity — besiege Wei to rescue Zhao. Both of them had identified that door as the breakthrough.
The monster bearing the hospital was formidable in presence, but Doctor Gao, backed by Blood City, was the true fierce spirit. He had long since accepted the certainty of his soul's annihilation and no longer cared whether his body was damaged. He was determined to destroy the place that had twisted his entire life.
Chain after chain punched through the hospital's lowest level. Doctor Gao didn't trade blows with the hospital's fierce spirit. Apart from attacking the door, he did nothing but continuously link the hospital to Blood City with his chains.
The hospital's fierce spirit was cumbersome in form, and with four special top-tier Red Dresses harassing it from all sides, it alone could not possibly stop Doctor Gao.
The chains connecting Blood City to the hospital multiplied. A tidal wave of crimson energy surged along them toward the hospital. Countless wandering spirits seized the opportunity to flee Blood City's boundaries — they couldn't linger long in the black mist, so every one of them barreled straight into the hospital.
The four-star scenario, the Psychic Ghost School, had once encountered Blood City as well. Even its desperate resistance had only delayed the inevitable absorption.
The Hospital Director knew full well how terrifying Blood City was. He immediately ordered "Eat" to intercept Doctor Gao while he handled Zhang Ya himself.
Zhang Ya, who had been on the brink of death, felt the pressure lift dramatically. To prevent the Hospital Director from completing his curse, she launched a full counterattack.
