It is a good thing for doctors to implement the scientific spirit of seeking truth from facts. Angel was not going to talk more on this topic, but took out a leather roll from his arms.
A picture was drawn on the leather scroll, with a black snake hovering over a long cone.
"Have you ever seen this picture?"
"I haven't seen it before, which family's emblem is this?" Xue Li asked suspiciously.
Angel did not smile, and put away the scroll. Then he looked at Shirley again and asked in a low voice, "Last question, Doctor Shirley, have you heard of Pocrates?"
Xue Li glanced at Angel curiously. She became more and more curious about the strangers in this snowy night. The questions he asked were strange and evasive. She didn't know what they meant.
Pocrates... Shirley pondered for a moment, as if she had heard this term before, but she couldn't remember it.
At this moment, a uniformed man wrapped in a black velvet cloak suddenly rushed in from outside, interrupting the tea conversation between the two.
Xue Li stood up and looked at the person who came: "Night attendant?"
"Haimen night shift!" The man in uniform nodded to show his identity, with a worried look on his face: "Doctor Shirley, come with me quickly! There was an accident at Tarot Harbour, the cruise ship on duty capsized, and a large number of injured need first aid!"
Xue Li's face was straight, and she quickly packed up the medical box: "I see! Apart from drowning, has anyone been injured?"
"Yes! Many people are injured! There are several large arteries bleeding, and all the doctors who can be called nearby have passed by!" Ye Qin replied quickly, apologizing to Angel as he spoke. He thought that Angel was a patient. It is unethical to disturb others to see a doctor, but this is also impossible. Compared with this seemingly healthy young man, the injured in the harbor need first aid more.
When Shirley heard this, she immediately picked up the scalpel, sutures, and alcohol.
"By the way! In addition to these, there are burn patients!" Ye Qin added.
Even burns? Xue Li moved for a while and looked at Ye Qin suspiciously: "Could it be a war?"
Ye Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hand: "There was no war, but the cruise ship broke off from the middle keel and ignited... It's strange to say that, I asked the colleague who was rescued and said that the ship suddenly disconnected without warning. I From the shore, it looks like it was cut open by someone... But who can cut off such a big ship, I guess it is in disrepair for a long time."
Shirley didn't pay special attention to the cause of the accident, but continued to hold the first aid equipment needed by burn patients, and then organized the medical kit as quickly as possible.
"Okay, let's go!" Xue Li said to Ye Qin with a solemn face, until then, she suddenly remembered that there was a strange visitor in the clinic.
Shirley had an apology on her face: "I'm sorry, sir, you heard that too, I'm going to the emergency room..."
The implication is to chase people away.
Angel took a sip of the Wimbledon milk tea, picked up the hat and pressed it on his head, and said with a smile, "It's getting late, I should go too. Also, the milk tea is delicious, thank you for your hospitality."
After Angel finished speaking, he slowly walked into the goose feather snow, and finally disappeared at the end of the darkness.
It wasn't until the strange visitor disappeared from view that Shirley suddenly remembered the last question he asked: "Have you heard of Pocrates?"
Pocrates, she felt familiar when she heard it earlier. But she never remembered it, but now she suddenly thought of it. She once listened to a class taught by Professor Caroline. She still remembered that Caroline seemed to have mentioned Pocrates and said that it was a holy place, but she had graduated for many years. , It's been too long, and the memory is blurred. I only remember some outlines, it seems that Pocrates is also related to the "Physician's Oath".
Shirley remembered that the man had asked the "Oath of the Healer" before. Are the two related
When Shirley was still thinking about the connection between the two, she was interrupted by Ye Qin, dragged her and ran towards Tarot Harbour. Shirley also remembered that there were still patients waiting for her rescue, and the thoughts that were still going out were completely swept out of her mind.
Ye Qin dragged her to run, and sighed: "Fortunately, your clinic has not closed yet. Otherwise, when I run to the downtown medical school for two hours, it is estimated that all the patients will be dead. This city is too big. , is also a trouble."
…
Angel, who didn't hear Shirley's answer, was a little regretful. However, he never thought that a clinic doctor he met casually would know about Pocrates, so this regret was not heavy.
On the contrary, it was Haimen Yeqin who suddenly visited, which made him a little concerned.
Haimen's patrol boat on duty often wandered around the bay area, and he had seen it a few days ago. How could the keel of a ship on duty that is nearly 20 meters long suddenly break due to disrepair
Angel has been on a ship and has watched documentaries on Earth's shipbuilding, so he is very clear that the keel of such a large ship must be the most carefully inspected place. Once something goes wrong, it will definitely be discovered immediately. So it can't be in disrepair, it can only be an accident.
As for the specific accident, Angel did not know. But he has a guess. According to what Ye Qin said, the duty boat was disconnected from the middle, as if it was cut off... Ye Qin thought it was impossible, but he thought it might not be impossible.
You must know that the time for the extraordinary gathering is getting closer and closer, and a group of wild people who have power and have not been cultivated by an orthodox wizard organization, if they are unscrupulous, it will inevitably be a disaster.
Angel guessed that maybe it was a wizard apprentice who participated in the extraordinary gathering, and he was the kind of lunatic who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
The snow drifted for less than half an hour, and a thin layer of snow accumulated on the road, like a white velvet carpet, extending into the depths of the darkness.
Suddenly, Angel stopped.
Under a street lamp, a faint light illuminated a range of several meters, and in this little light, the snowflakes were like fluttering fluttering in the sky.
Click, click, click—
There was a sound of footsteps in front, and at the same time, a huge and strange magic force came over.
Angel stood under the street lamp, his expression did not change, he just looked forward quietly.
The first thing Angel saw was a pair of shiny black leather boots, followed by dark blue linen trousers, a black shiny leather belt, an ochre-colored plaid vest, and a cool black rivet leather jacket.
The other party was wearing a wide-brimmed soft hat, and he seemed to be holding a cigarette in his mouth, with scattered sparks.
Angel quietly looked at the person who came, and did not speak. But behind him, the original snowy night scene appeared blurry and floating, and at the same time, strange music fell from the sky with a creepy frequency.
"Ah ah ah, it turns out to be an illusion department, it's really rare..." The voice of the visitor was a very pleasant magnetic bass, but the words he said were frivolous that did not match the bass.
While talking, the person took off the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, flicked it lightly, and drew an arc, and finally fell into the pale snow, burning the cigarette butts of scattered sparks, and was still doing the last lingering.
"Who are you?" Anger's eyes flashed.
The visitor smiled and replied, "I am..."
Suddenly, he took a few steps back abruptly: "Phonetic illusion? Almost hit your way."
A flash of surprise flashed in Angel's eyes. When he spoke, he did use "Wan Yin Illusion".
However, when secretly building an illusion node and trying to block his thinking. The other party discovered it and avoided the influence of the illusion node in those minutes.
It can be seen that the response of the other party's body and mind has reached a very high level.
"Is it the blood side?" Angel thought to himself.
"It's so unfriendly. I just came to see the person who disturbed Kura Kuka. I didn't expect it to be an orthodox wizard apprentice." Ah... the only orthodox around here is Silent Hill, if it is Silent Hill, it will be difficult to handle..."
"Hey, forget it... It's not easy to explain from the tutor."
The person came with a "good luck" tone: "Okay, I won't care about you. But I want to remind you that it's best not to tell you about Kura Kuka."
After speaking, the person who came came slowly turned around and walked into the darkness.
Inexplicable appearance, and inexplicable exit. Angel frowned, but did not chase after him.
"What is Kura Kuka?"
Stepping on the soft snow, Angel returned home with doubts.
After returning home, I accidentally saw Dudo and Du Shan looking out in the yard. When she saw Angel appear, Du Shan breathed a sigh of relief: "As soon as your lord left at night, Duoduo fell asleep and stayed here all the time."
Angel looked at Dodolo, and saw a trace of intimacy and longing in his eyes.
Angel smiled helplessly. He originally thought that under Du Shan's teaching, Duoduo's "insignia" would disappear a little, but he didn't expect it to have a counterproductive effect.
"I'm fine, you go to sleep."
After sending the two back to the room, Angel was still thinking of the man who suddenly appeared earlier... There is no doubt that this is a wizard apprentice, and his strength is not weak.
Listening to his tone, it seems that he came to trouble him because of "Kura Kuka", but then suddenly gave up, and I don't know why
Most importantly, what exactly is "Kura Kuka"
This puzzled Angel all night, and got the answer the next day.
…
In the early morning, Du Shan and Dodolo were teaching in the yard. She originally planned to go to the suburbs today to collect wind, but her employer told her not to go out for a few days. Although she didn't know why, she didn't refute it.
In the process of teaching, Du Shan saw a boat approaching on the river from a distance.
A fat man who looked full of suffocation and had scars on his eyes walked in the direction of the villa aggressively.
Du Shan stopped lecturing, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
She doesn't know this person, but he has a very vicious temperament. Could it be that he came to trouble his employer? Du Shan looked at the man worriedly.
A second ago, Du Shan was still worried about her employer. The next second, she found that things were getting weird.
The scarred man suddenly screamed in shock, then shouted "there is a ghost", and stepped back. But he took a few steps back, then changed direction and continued to retreat. In the end, he was actually going in circles, but he couldn't go back.
Is this man sick? Du Shan secretly said.
Perhaps the man found that he couldn't retreat no matter how he was, his face paled in fright, and after screaming, he fainted directly to the ground.
