"Are you awake?"
The female doctor's red lips under her black hair revealed a gentle and charming smile.
"here it is?"
"This is a private clinic created by the master. Don't worry, it's absolutely safe here."
"Wait~ my body!" Yi Chen immediately recalled what happened when he left the old world, recalled the cold feeling of his neck being cut, and hurriedly checked his current physical condition.
Everything was normal except that the body was a little cold, and a shallow suture scar could be felt on the neck.
"Could it be that you reattached my right half of my body that was buried at the bottom of the lake?"
"Yes, the operation went smoothly, or rather, your body cooperated very well. As soon as the connection was made, a chain structure with needles sprouted from your neck to transform and connect the right half of your body.
Your soul has completely merged with the chains, no wonder those monks wanted to chase you.
Don't do anything too big now, just rest. After all, only half of your body is buried under the lake, and the other half is growing through the stimulation of drugs and the function of your umbilical cord. You need to rest well.
Just stay here and get the IV drip. After I leave, a nurse will come to keep you company."
After making sure that he was fine, Yi Chen quickly looked around the single room in front of him.
There was a gentleman's suit hanging on the hanger at the door.
The suitcases for storing equipment and the gold box for storing important relics were placed next to the bed, and even the keys were placed next to them.
Just as the female doctor changed the medicine and prepared to leave, Yi Chen grabbed her empty white sleeve.
"Where's Lorian?"
"My Lord, he is in his office. Let's not disturb him."
"I have to go see him..."
The female doctor did not object, but took the initiative to help Yi Chen get off the bed and keep him on the infusion.
After all, she hadn't seen her master for several days, so she was inevitably a little worried. It was just right that she could use Yi Chen's special identity to go to her master's office.
Walking in the cold and silent passage, feeling the moonlight bathing,
The clinic created by Yuehen was based on the Dusk Clinic, and his office was located in a stand-alone tower in the backyard.
When Yi Chen knocked on the door, the female doctor behind him couldn't help but squeeze her thighs together, and even the glucose liquid between the infusion bottles flowed down her thighs. She looked extremely nervous.
"Come in."
As Yuehen's softer voice was heard, the door opened.
There are bookcases on both sides of the office, which are filled with contemporary books, mainly on medicine. Since there are very few books from this era, there is a lot of empty space between the bookcases.
The circular desk is made of black walnut and inlaid with sterling silver decorations on the surface, which is simple yet profound.
Yue Hen sat in the middle, his body straight like a student, his hands placed horizontally on the table, with a book in front of him that he was about to finish reading.
Behind you, an extra-large floor-to-ceiling glass replaces the original wall structure, allowing the moonlight to shine in to the greatest extent, providing sufficient lighting for reading while bathing.
Even in such a beautiful scene, Yi Chen still found flaws.
There was a very obvious suture mark on Yuehen's face, which had not even been removed, running diagonally from the forehead across the bridge of the nose to the chin.
"Lorian your face?"
"Oh yeah~ I was so engrossed in watching that I forgot about removing the stitches."
With the movement of fingers, the silver thread was pulled down from the face, erasing the blemishes.
“As expected of a channel monitor, he quickly saw through my disguise and almost cut my head in half… That black heavy halberd is really a good thing. It’s so powerful that it seems to be able to split the night sky.
If it weren't for your dangerous situation, William, I would definitely have a good time with that guy."
"The monitor? Oh, and where are the three monks?"
"You are trapped in the sand by my magic. You can go and play with them next time. However, you must be careful when you go to the Old World next time. These guys in the monastery will definitely come after you again."
Yi Chen nodded. Now that he had obtained the relic, the next time he would go to the old world would probably be a long time later. By then, he would have broken through the "limits of human beings" and would definitely have more means to deal with it head-on.
Maybe a trip to a so-called monastery wouldn't be a bad idea.
Huh... Yi Chen let out a long sigh. It felt so good to come back alive from the gates of hell.
I was able to come back alive this time, all thanks to the silver-haired young man in front of me.
Although Lorian's evil deeds cannot be ignored, Yi Chen's attitude and perception of him have also changed a lot... He walked straight to the desk and expressed his gratitude with gentlemanly etiquette.
Then he pulled out a chair and sat opposite Lorian, as he had something else he needed to ask in person.
"Lorian, is there anyone else outside the passage besides the watcher?"
“Yes, your teammates have a good relationship with you.
He has been waiting for you outside, and he is very strong. If he is allowed to break through the limits of human power and cooperate with the observer, he may pose a threat to me. "
"Gold?"
"No... It wasn't your girlfriend. It was the fat young man. I remember his name was Ludwig Reagan.
Although this guy looks friendly and is nice to you, there is something very evil inside him... This kind of 'evil' I have seen in Dr. McCollum at the Twilight Clinic.
I could even say that they are of the same kind, and I can tell them apart at a glance."
"Um."
Yi Chen could probably understand what Yue Hen said. After all, Reagan was an extremely paranoid person who could do anything for his girlfriend.
Once the issue of his girlfriend is touched upon, he will immediately change his position. I just hope Reagan can find a way to revive his girlfriend and untie his knot.
Yi Chen muttered: "Since Jin is not at the entrance of the passage, has she gone back?"
Yue Hen shook his finger, "That's not necessarily true. That woman really cares about you. She will definitely wait until you come out. As a bystander, I am completely sure of that."
This woman must still be in the old world.
Either already dead,
Or maybe just like we were sought out by the Duke, she must have been sought out by some old world power."
Yi Chen was not particularly worried, "Although Jin is crazy, she also cherishes her life... With her talent and the mysterious Red Lotus disease, it is possible that she will be favored by a big shot in the old world.
So, how much time has passed?"
"We wandered around the Old World for a week, and you were in a coma for ten days after you came out."
"Fuck! Has it been seventeen days?"
The originally planned one-day journey to the Old World turned into half a month. He suspected that Zion had marked himself as missing or even dead.
At this time,
Lorian closed it, stood up and walked to the French window behind him, staring at the full moon outside the window.
"William, when you are fully recovered, would you like to go 'to the moon' with me?"
“Let’s talk about it later. For now, I still have to rely on Zion. Growth, skills, and the acquisition of the ‘Gentleman’s Skin’ are all essential.
If you want to roam freely in this world, you must at least reach Zion's standards, that is, the level of the Watcher."
Unlike their first meeting, Lorian did not force it this time.
"Then wait for you to continue to grow. After all, you still have to rely on yourself to obtain this thing... You are indeed too weak, and there is not much point in following me."
"Where are you going? Continue wandering around different human cities to absorb the essence of medical skills?"
“No… I have already obtained the means from the Duke. Next, I will go to some more dangerous areas alone and try to defeat and devour those powerful pathogens, deepen the connection with the source of the disease, and try to reach a higher level.
In addition, I will also collect some valuable treasures and try to exchange them for moonlight treasures worth tens of thousands of dollars from the Duke as soon as possible."
"Okay, good luck."
After getting the answers he needed from Yue Hen, Yi Chen did not stay any longer and prepared to do some rehabilitation exercises with the help of the female doctor or nurse, in an effort to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.
Just as he was about to leave the office,
Yuehen's voice came from behind: "Your human gathering place may not be as safe as you think. If a big problem occurs one day, or there is a dangerous situation specifically targeting you,
If you are in a desperate situation, you can try to look at the moon in the sky. "
Yi Chen turned his back and raised his right arm, making an 'OK' gesture.
