It must be said that the clinic created by Moon Scar is quite high-end, and to some extent, it even surpasses Zion’s Hippocrates Hospital. Wherever Yi Chen went, there was professional coordination. seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. For example, the female doctor in charge of infusions ensured the most effective intake of fluids by following Yi Chen everywhere, even standing by his side when he went to the bathroom. She stood upright next to the urinal, and through Observation of the parabola, accuracy, and color, she even added some kidney-tonifying medicine to the infusion bottle. There was also nurse Xiao Mei, responsible for rehabilitation training, ... With her twin ponytails, blood-soaked bandages, and perfect biceps, she could provide assistance for some high-difficulty movements to speed up recovery of various body parts, and even engage in simple physical confrontations. Meal times could also be a choice of ‘hand feeding’, Yi Chen was fortunate to try it once, with two nurse sisters, one on each side, one feeding meat, and the other feeding vegetables. Once you accept this hedonistic setting, it’s quite comfortable. Even at night, you could choose a sleepover service, which also offered a free bedtime horror story. After all, old World travel and recovery from serious injuries had already delayed more than half a month, so Yi Chen didn’t mind staying a little longer. Another half month passed, And thanks to the medical staff and even Lorrian’s personal surgery, Yi Chen was fully recovered. Before leaving the hospital, Yi Chen even put on a suit and took a commemorative photo with the nurse sisters. Picking up his suitcase, He put on a brown round hat evolved from gentleman’s clothes, And when saying farewell to the sisters in the clinic lobby, nurse Xiao Mei who was responsible for rehabilitation training even shed blood-like tears from her bandages, unable to accept this departure. The female doctor, on the other hand, lifted her thigh high and waved her foot in farewell: “Mr. William, remember to bring a heavier injury to us next time, so we can spend more time together.” “Haha~ We’ll see… Thank you all.” Yi Chen was very grateful to these medical staff, he never saw them as some kind of products, but rather as friendly and sincere individuals. He bowed with his hat pressed to his chest, in farewell. Stepping out of the clinic building to the edge of Moonlight Space, Yi Chen tiptoed to look at the last tower, waving goodbye to Lorrian in front of the glass window. As he stepped out of the main entrance, leaving the Moonlight Space, The full moon hanging in the sky and the entire clinic disappeared, leaving only a foggy night sky. Yi Chen was in a desolate mountain wilderness with no reference points around, completely unable to determine his exact location. Just then, A black ball of flesh squeezed out from the collar in effort, gasping with a big mouth: “Phew~ I was almost smothered to death!” Little Grape had also been resting inside the body for a while, to some extent also wary of Moon Scar and had never dared to show up. “Little Grape, you’ve worked hard~” “Not bad! I didn’t expect you could actually make it back alive, and even used the half of your body you buried at the bottom of the lake before your excursion; it was a real stroke of luck. Although I’ve had a tough time and was even in danger of losing my life, I’ve gained something from it, so I won’t complain.” “I’ll make sure you eat your fill once we get back to Zion. Can you determine our current location?” As soon as Yi Chen asked, Little Grape immediately lifted its little arm and pointed in a direction. “This way… I can smell the familiar scent of a graveyard.” Following the direction pointed by Little Grape and after crossing several small hills, a town with lights and buildings came into view. Below the hill was the midway stop of the Relic event—[Yarsoto Town], and Cold Lake Cemetery was also there. Seeing the crowd of people walking back and forth in the town, Yi Chen truly felt a sense of return. He didn’t rush back to the town immediately but instead sat on a nearby stone to think, as there had to be a reasonable explanation for being completely out of touch for a whole month. After gathering his thoughts, just as he descended the hill, The gentlemen stationed in the town immediately surrounded Yi Chen, Following that, the person in charge of the town and the manager of Cold Lake Cemetery—the limping Field—personally arrived. He was quite surprised to see Yi Chen himself. After all, the Watcher on Holy Grail Mountain had reported, The Tunnel Watcher—[Black Heavy Halberd – Orman Yude] had a confrontation with an ‘Open Source Patient’ who highly mimicked Yi Chen, and the latter eventually escaped. “Good to see you, Mr. Field!” The little grape made herself known, waving in greeting. Even though the limping Field could confirm the little grape’s identity through the aura of Cold Lake, he couldn’t prove the authenticity of ‘Yi Chen.’ The little grape could very well be controlled in her thinking by an Open Source Patient, pretending to be normal. It was at this time that Yi Chen spoke. “Mr. Field, I know what you’re worried about,” he said. “A lot has happened to me during my exploration of the Old World, and it will take time to explain. If you don’t believe me, you can restrain me using your methods here and use your testing means to verify my identity.” “That’s necessary.” Before long, Yi Chen found himself bound hand and foot in a wheelchair designed especially for transporting Patients, with his limbs restrained by ring-like objects made of tombstone material, his entire body tied up with special leather cords interwoven with Gentleman’s Skin, bandaged about the eyes, and wearing a kind of gag that does not affect normal breathing (to prevent the transmission of pathogens by sound). Yi Chen was first taken to the Seagull Clinic in the small town, where through various drug injections for testing, and even multiple tissue biopsies (including internal organs) of Yi Chen, nothing unusual was found. But the Doctor did not dare to be completely certain, temporarily removing the gag and the eye bandages, but still keeping the physical restraints in place, and sent him to Zion for further tests. After all, Yi Chen’s situation was too peculiar, as they had never seen a newcomer stay so long in the Old World, and it happened to be related to an Open Source Patient with a strong ability to mimic. “I shall personally escort him~ Since the cemetery is closed, I have nothing else to do anyway,” said the limping Field. The limping Field and Yi Chen both boarded the fastest carriage to Zion. “You three actually chose to split up and act separately in the Old World, which is really reckless. Now, the only one who can be clearly ascertained to have returned uninfected and safe is Reagan, who already returned to Zion ten days ago.” “Did Reagan tell you what Relic he obtained?” “No, I didn’t ask either. But from his appearance, he seems to have found a Relic suitable for him. Such high-value items like Relics shouldn’t be casually displayed; doing so may bring about deadly consequences.” “Understood.” The journey was calm, and through long conversations, Field was able to completely confirm that Yi Chen was indeed himself, without a doubt. However, routine checks were still necessary for the safety of Zion couldn’t be taken lightly. After three days and nights, they finally arrived just outside Zion City. As soon as the carriage stopped at the city gate, personnel responsible for ‘plague detection’ re-applied the eye mask and gag on Yi Chen, and took him to a special laboratory within the city walls for deep inspection. Yi Chen cooperated the whole time, lying on the operating table and volunteering that anesthesia was unnecessary, suggesting that skull opening for inspection would suffice. Once the various complicated tests were completed, Yi Chen was confirmed not to have been infected with any plague, and his mental state was even deemed ‘above the safety value,’ almost perfect. Even many gentlemen living in Zion were unable to achieve such a safe score. With the testing finished, Yi Chen’s personal information was immediately updated, removing keywords such as [Missing], [High Risk], and his status as a gentleman was restored. Just as he stepped back onto the familiar streets, a refreshing breeze greeted him, and the old man with an owl on his shoulder seemed to have been waiting for a long time. “William, has your [Intelligence] reached its limit?” “Your month-long journey in the Old World has indeed been fruitful; many were worried about you. But first, come with me.” “Alright.” Sitting on the train heading back to school, Yi Chen detailed the whole story of how he had accidentally encountered Moon Scar during a stopover on his journey and was forced to cooperate with it. Qian Bosen believed Yi Chen’s words completely, having seen Moon Scar himself. .bg-container-10448ed3ed0{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; } .bg-ssp-10448{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;} .bg-container-10448f61e68{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; } .bg-container-10448222eb6{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2147483647 !important; } “Whether to contact or even cooperate with a Patient is your own affair. As long as you adhere to a gentleman’s demeanor and are sure that what you’re doing is right, that’s what matters. Since you’ve received cooperation from an Open Source Patient and have spent so much time in the Old World, you must have found a Relic related to intelligence, right?” Yi Chen didn’t answer directly but took out a moderately-sized Golden Box. This special gold forced Qian Bosen’s pupils to constrict, “A storage box made of Old World gold? The value of this thing might not be less than that of some single-attribute Relics. What’s inside is…” Yi Chen still did not answer directly but gestured a number with his fingers [3].
