"Cough cough... Iâm much better, thank you, Xiaolin... cough..."
Aileen, whose face turned pale, was stunned. She looked somewhat bewildered at Luoning, who was panting beside her, and asked in a murmuring tone, "Why doesnât it work? She is equipped with our gear, as long as her illness is cured, she should be fine."
Luoning remained silent, not knowing the answer, but she had seen the deaths of these people... everyone she could see!
"Cough cough cough..."
The fearful coughing sound echoed from behind, amidst the storm of fallen leaves, some indistinct figures were approaching slowly, those were the residents of Life Town.
Thud...
"Cough cough cough..... save me... itâs so painful... I canât breathe... cough cough cough..."
Some people or elves fell down and kept moaning after that, in front of them, Count Wei Laiwaâs teamâs illness was also worsening, the coughing sound had become Aileenâs nightmare.
"No... something must be wrong... impossible..... thatâs Life Dedication...."
Aileen, whose face turned pale, kept murmuring, she recalled some records from books and thought of some matters.
"Curse Doctor, right, curse doctor, every curse doctor is a cruel swordsman....."
Her eyes suddenly lit up, she hurriedly took out a small scalpel from her Space Ring.
"Sister Aileen, donât..." Luoning raised her hand to stop her.
But was interrupted by Aileen: "No, Luoning, before you came, the capitalists said that every client has their own needs, as long as we meet those needs, then we can gain Gold Coins."
"Perhaps this analogy is somewhat inappropriate, but here is the Inheritance Space of the Curse Doctor, they want me to become a Curse Doctor, and curse doctors always need to perform surgery, as long as I follow their lead, with your assistance, I can save her!"
Pale-faced Aileen, at this moment, her eyes were exceedingly bright, she looked at Luoning with hope: "Luoning, tell me, if I operate on Ronnieâs lungs, will she die?"
The Power of Destiny fluctuated around, Luoningâs eyes widened: "No... but..."
"No is good enough." She glanced at the scene of madly falling leaves around, then tossed her Space Ring to Luoning.
"We donât have potions to eradicate the epidemic, but we do have potions to treat wounds, Luoning, please."
"Please stop my next move at any time, now, in my eyes, they are full of diseases, I donât know whatâs right and whatâs wrong, you must stop my excessive treatments."
The number of people around increased, Aileen could no longer care about the chastity of the elves and directly began to undo the equipment on Ronnie.
In almost an instant, Ronnie, with only undergarments left, appeared in front of them.
She kept coughing, attempting to resist, but the next moment, she could no longer feel her body.
"Sister Ronnie, I have temporarily cut off your perception of your body, you wonât feel the pain, but donât struggle, otherwise, Iâll cut your nervous system, trust me, please trust me..."
Aileen murmured, she swallowed hard, her hand holding the scalpel trembling slightly, Ronnie had already closed her eyes, with some tears trickling down the corners.
The number of people around... was growing.
Their coughing made the environment of this surgery incredibly noisy.
Luoning grasped the Space Ring tightly, she wanted to say... lung surgery indeed wouldnât cause death, but... the illness on them wasnât just the lungs.
Sizzle~ Hiss~
The sound of the sharp blade tearing through flesh was drowned out by the coughing, a red mark appeared on the elfâs snow-white neck, and the unconscious coughing stopped instantly.
Hiss~
Another cut, leaving a wound on the elfâs perfect body, with white skin paired with the rolling red flesh, which seemed somewhat ghastly.
Pale-faced Aileen had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
She said with extreme calmness: "Life-Sustaining Potion, canât let Sister Ronnie bleed to death."
Luoning obediently took out a bottle of emerald green potion from the Space Ring, instantly, the surrounding breathing became heavy, without hesitation she opened a scroll, releasing a vast glow of Silver Level.
It isolated this place from the outside, not only blocking the scattering leaves but also some peopleâs inner darkness.
Poured the emerald green potion into the ghastly wound, the life signs of Ronnie, whose face was gradually paling, stabilized.
The surrounding sounds were isolated.
Aileenâs face became increasingly pale, carefully extending the knife towards the elfâs lung, the bright red color slightly contracting, looking somewhat daunting.
The closer her knife got, the more bewildered her eyes became; in her eyes, not only the lungs, but all the organs of the elf had diseases!
Including the heart, which had a foreign object that shouldnât be there, only the lung was the largest, thus causing coughing and breathing difficulty.
"Is this foreign object real?"
Aileen couldnât be sure, she was repeating in her heart, she was a cursed doctor, constantly denying the existence of these diseases, but indeed... it seemed so real...
"Hmm, it sure does..."
The tip of Aileenâs blade suddenly paused, she turned her head instantly, eyes wide open, pupils slightly contracting, and her silver hair, tainted with some bloodstains, looked somewhat mad at this moment.
"All organs, truly real? Not a trick of the Curse Doctorâs vision?"
Luoning was a bit reluctant, but nodded.
Despair expanded in Aileenâs eyes, it was all brought by her, her gentle sister, kind neighbors, and the benevolent Count to his citizens, all seemed to be ruined by her.
Why must there be diseases in this world? She loathed the epidemic as never before!
"I can do this, these are not incurable, since I can see them, I can cure them, I can..."
She murmured, the trembling scalpel in her hands gradually steadied, she took a deep breath, the scalpel lowered slowly.
The elfâs lungs spasmed slightly, but a five-centimeter gap was cut open, revealing a Black Sphere inside, it seemed like a living creature, trembling slightly.
This was one of the sources of the epidemic!
Its form was extremely disgusting, sort of like a worm, making Aileen feel nauseous from the heart.
Clang~
A sharp noise rang as the scalpel deftly flicked the escaping Black Sphere into the air, where it was sliced apart.
Instantly, a burst of black gas rose, it seemed to howl with illness, making Aileenâs heart suddenly feel a strange delight and... serenity.
She looked towards the other lung, the scalpel steadied much more, the Cleaning Technique cleared the scalpel of bacteria and blood, and her blade killed the other disease lurking in the lung.
Her surgeries became increasingly faster, quickly clearing the illnesses from the organs, leaving only that of the heart.
And now, Ronnieâs entire chest and abdomen were opened, held together barely by the Power of Potions.
The heart...
"Use your Spiritual Power to help me stabilize her blood pressure, have the Flesh and Blood Recovery Potion ready at all times...."
Aileen said, without any hesitation, she carefully began slicing into Ronnieâs heart.
Just a bit more, just a bit more....
Aileen thought, and at the moment the black thing appeared, she extracted it without hesitation, and cut it apart with a single stroke.
At the same time, Luoning poured the Flesh and Blood Recovery Potion; her Spiritual Power swiftly pulled the various wounds together and fused the skin tissues.
As the Recovery Potion started to take effect, Ronnieâs life sign finally stabilized.
"Whew~ Whew~"
"I did it, I did it...."
Aileen kept murmuring, with an indescribable joy in her eyes, not only from saving a friend but also from the pride of a Healer.
But as soon as she looked up, she was stunned, surrounded densely by people, they crowded around the Magic barrier, silently coughing, their eyes filled with such hopeful and eager looks on her.
With the potion continuing to take effect, Ronnieâs body, except for slight scars, bore no more wounds.
Aileenâs eyes showed some evasion, restoring Ronnieâs Perception system, and suddenly Ronnie could move.
"Thank you, Xiaolin..."
A faint and gentle voice of gratitude sounded, Luoningâs eyes full of worry looked at Aileen, then she looked up towards the forest where the leaves were still falling, through some gaps, she looked at the sky.
"I can save you, I can...."
Listening to Aileenâs increasingly resolute murmur, Luoning looked up, silently asking: Boss brother... what should we do?
