inner city
The inner city with a total of four blocks is now a depressed scene.
The original dense crowd was much smaller, and many of them were wrapped in gauze.
In the temporary hospital, Goth and Andy walked into the white corridor of the hospital together.
Both of them tried their best to adjust the expressions on their faces, trying not to let Jessica see any clues.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Goth patted Andy on the shoulder.
"Maybe." Andy smiled unnaturally.
Walking to Jessica's ward familiarly, Goth opened the room, but was surprised to see a man in gray robe sitting in front of Jessica's ward, peeling an apple for her.
He saw that Jessica was smiling and looking at the two of them, but she didn't mean to explain.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man in gray robe stood up and turned around, showing a soft and handsome smile.
"Long time no see, Goth, Andy."
"Garon!??" Goth raised his voice a few times, pointing at Garen's face full of surprise and excitement.
Andy was also surprised on the side.
"Garon, haven't you already?"
"Don't you think I'm dead?" Garen laughed, "I hid under a ruin and survived for a long time on the food I found inside, and then sneaked back when the monster was attracted by the battle in the inner city .” When he talked about his return, he had a look of emotion, as if he was still a little scared.
Goth opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but he didn't make another sound. He just stepped forward and gave Garen a big hug.
Andy smiled happily.
"Just come back safely."
During this period of time, what happened to Jessica caused the two of them to fall into a serious depression. Now they didn't expect that Garen was still alive. The originally gloomy mood suddenly became lighter.
Goth patted Gallon on the back hard.
"Don't make me lose friends again." His voice was low.
"What's wrong?" Garen frowned. "what happened?"
Goethe hesitated to speak. Garen immediately knew that it was not appropriate to speak now, so he smiled.
The three sat in the ward and chatted about the recent situation. Jessica sat on the side and listened quietly, only with a faint smile.
The four friends who used to be together are finally gathered together, and none of them is missing. This is obviously something worth celebrating.
It's just that it's different from the heartless Goth, but Andy secretly feels that the Garen who came back this time is not as simple as he introduced himself. This former companion seemed to have a slight sense of mystery.
After chatting with Jessica for a while, the three of them got up and went out together, found a restaurant and sat down, each ordered a standard meal.
Garen crossed his fingers on the table and looked at Goth and Andy opposite him, his expression soon calmed down.
"Okay, can you tell me what's going on now?" He said in a low voice, staring at the two of them calmly.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Both Goth and Andy had unnatural expressions.
Suddenly, Garen seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and he fixed his eyes on Goth all of a sudden.
"No! Goth, what happened to your left eye!?" His voice suddenly became a little more nervous. In fact, he had already recognized Goth as a friend from the bottom of his heart, but now it seems that the situation is a bit beyond his expectation, and there is a faint trace of history. There was a slight deviation that was wrong.
"Left eye?" Andy was also stunned for a while, and looked at Goth's left eye at the same time. "What happened to the left eye?"
Goth turned his face away unnaturally.
"It's nothing, it's just a little uncomfortable. I haven't had a good rest recently." He hesitated and made up an explanation.
However, Garen seemed to have discovered something, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"Don't move!" He stood up and stretched out Goethe's left hand covering his eyes.
Both of them saw Goethe's left eye clearly at once. The pupil color of that eye was not Goethe's original color at all, but a lifeless dark red. Those are fake eyes!
Goethe was silent and let his two friends stare into his left eye.
"It's not a big deal. In fact, it's good enough to complete the task and save your life." He hesitated and whispered.
The atmosphere in the room between the three of them suddenly became more dull.
Garen looked at Goth with an indescribable block in his heart.
"God, are you... for Jessica?"
Andy on one side clenched his fists and lowered his head.
Goth gave a relaxed smile.
"A few days ago, I was injured by a monster in my left eye, and then I found that I couldn't see it when I came back. Madame Madeleine made me an artificial eye, but it's really nothing, one eye is enough, right? You guys Don't be so serious, both of you, take it easy, it's rare that we all get together, everyone is fine, isn't it great?"
Garen didn't expect this to happen to Goth not long after he left.
Although he wants to rely on Goth to continuously obtain potential points, he doesn't want to obtain them in this way.
"Tell me about Jessica." He sighed and sat down again.
"Jessica is fine, trust me." Goethe waved his hand, "I found a doctor in the Duke's Mansion to treat her, no matter how difficult the disease is, can it be difficult for the people in the Duke's Mansion? It's all right, soon Jesse The card will be fine, and then the four of us will form a team together, with all the members of the Black Panther team, and then turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, and finally get the duke's award, royal canonization, and step on the pinnacle of life in one fell swoop, becoming a big member of one party, think about it I feel very excited!" Goethe showed a daydreaming expression.
"You daydream." Andy couldn't help but punched him.
For a moment, the three of them couldn't help laughing.
The dinner tray was also delivered at this time, and the atmosphere was finally not so heavy. The three chatted about each other's situation and plans. Among them, Garen was the one who was asked the most, but with his experience and character, he naturally wouldn't be noticed by these two people. He just brought out the remarks he had prepared in advance, and added some details along the way, which was seamless.
Even Andy, who was more stable in mind, was fooled.
The three of them were halfway through eating, and a young man in purple clothes came in at the entrance of the restaurant. The man had a handsome appearance, and he had a charming smile on his face. Glancing at the sparsely populated restaurants, he walked directly in the direction of the Gothic trio.
"Doctor Allen!" Goth was the first to see the man in purple, and stood up quickly. "Why are you here, come! Sit down and eat together."
Andy also stood up, with a warm and sincere smile on his face. He greeted the man to sit down and eat together, and then greeted the waiter in the restaurant.
With a polite smile on his face, Garen looked at the man in purple. Vaguely, he felt a familiar aura from this person.
"I'm a member of the Black Panther team, Garen." He held out his hand towards the other party.
The man named Aililan stretched out his hand with a similar smile, and shook hands with Garen lightly.
"The professional doctor in charge of Jessica's condition, Alilan. Nice to meet you."
"I agree."
Just a little touch, both of them noticed that the other seemed to be hiding something.
In other words, both of them, in their own unique way, sensed the profundity hidden under the other's appearance.
The two hands shook lightly and then separated.
After Elilan sat down, Goethe and Andy began to inquire about Jessica's condition, while Garen sat aside and listened to the three of them talking quietly.
After eating a meal for more than an hour, it was finally over.
Goethe and Andy invite Gallon to live with them, but are declined.
After several successive wars, the population of the inner city has been greatly reduced, and there are empty houses everywhere. Totem masters do not need money at all, as long as they register with the clerk, they can move in directly.
Garen randomly found a well-decorated house to live in.
Early the next morning, he went directly to the hospital where Jessica was staying and found the ward doctor in charge of Jessica.
"Jessica's condition on No. 128? Are you hers?" The doctor looked at Garen in front of him with some hesitation.
In the office, the middle-aged female doctor was about to go out with a report when she was stopped by the man in gray robe.
"Yes, I'm her friend. It's just that she and the other friends kept it from me and didn't tell me the truth. I want to know the real situation." Garen nodded seriously.
"Is it true?" The female doctor frowned. "Jessica's condition is very strange. It seems to be a rare disease. We can only rely on anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers to maintain her life. But even so, she has less than half a year left." Perhaps it was because he had seen so much life and death during this period, the doctor's expression just seemed a little regretful.
"I'm sorry, Jessica is a nice girl."
"It's okay. Thank you, doctor." Gallon's heart skipped a beat. He stood at the door and watched the doctor walk away quickly, surrounded by several nurses who came up to him.
He walked towards Jessica's ward with heavy steps.
In the early hours of the morning, the sky was not yet fully bright.
Garen stood outside the glass partition of the ward, quietly watching Jessica who was sleeping soundly inside.
"Reality and history have completely deviated from the direction. What will happen next?" He had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Pushing open the door of the ward, he sat next to Jessica, and suddenly saw her open her eyes and look at him calmly.
"Didn't you go out with my brother and the others yesterday? Why did you come so early today?" Jessica smiled and lay down halfway.
"I'll take a look alone. I didn't expect you to have a troublesome disease. I've also studied medicine before, so I just want to come and check it out for you myself." Garen replied in a low voice.
"You know medicine?" Jessica wanted to laugh, but couldn't help coughing.
"Okay, okay, go to sleep quickly, trust me." Garen flicked his fingers, and an invisible gust of wind immediately crushed an acupuncture point on Jessica's neck.
It is an acupuncture point that provides blood supply to the brain and affects sleep. It was learned when practicing Mi Wu. Heavy force can kill, light force can also cure disease.
In fact, almost everyone who practices secret martial arts must know some knowledge of human medicine. Garen has reached the peak, and his understanding of the human body's structure and blood circulation can basically be regarded as a master of medicine.
Jessica yawned and seemed to feel a little sleepy again.
"That's fine, I'll sleep a little longer, I don't know why, I'm so sleepy all of a sudden." She lay down again, covered the quilt and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Garen stood up, looked around, and after hearing nothing, he lifted Jessica's quilt.
He stretched out his hands to support Jessica's head, a trace of platinum aura slowly penetrated into the back of her neck, feeling the flow of Qi and blood in her head.
Then check the heart, internal organs, and other physical conditions.
After some inspection, Garen frowned and sat down again.
"There is no abnormality in Qi and blood, but a little weak. The five internal organs are also normal, even much healthier than ordinary people. What's going on?"
At this time, footsteps gradually came from outside, very rhythmic.
Garen stood up quickly, no matter how good the relationship was, Jessica was now Goth's girlfriend, so he still had to keep a certain distance.
He was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly, a faint silver light flashed across Jessica's face.
"This is!!??" Gallon froze in place. Where had he seen this silver light before! !
click.
The door of the ward opened.
Dr. Elilan in purple walked in with a smile on his face.
"Huh? Are you here, Mr. Gallen?" He looked at Garen's back in surprise.
