Chapter 1885: Mixed with her

The smell that hit us was the strong scent of medicine that filled the air.

This was a place that was clearly made to experiment with medicine.

It didn’t seem like a place that people could live in at all with how much of a mess it was.

Once we were inside, he didn’t even bother treating us as guests.

The first thing that the miracle healer did was turn to look at us as if he was sizing us up before saying, "Which one of you is it?"

I gestured to Dorothy before saying, "It’s her."

As soon as he heard this, it seemed like the miracle healer lost interest in me.

But eventually, it seemed like he lost interest in her as well since it seemed like he wasn’t able to find anything while observing Dorothy. It seemed like he was angry with me, as if I had lied to him about this.

However, I didn’t get angry seeing this.

I knew that the reason that he wasn’t actually able to see it was because he didn’t know what to look for.

That was why I pulled something out of my Storage Ring.

The moment that this thing came out, it seemed to catch the miracle healer’s eyes.

It seemed like he felt that there was something strange about this thing and he wanted to take a closer look, but he restrained himself. It wasn’t because he wanted to be mindful, it was more that he could tell that the thing that I was holding was dangerous.

So instead of approaching and looking at the sample that I had taken out, he went back to prepare something.

Only when he was done preparing these things did he wave his hand at me as if he was summoning me over.

I didn’t say anything as I went over to his lab bench and put the sample down for him before saying, "I should probably open it. You might not be able to open it properly."

The miracle healer seemed to think about this before giving a slight nod.

When it came to his research, he wasn’t that unreasonable.

In fact, his research was the one and only thing that people could use to control him.

I knew this fact from the game, which was why I didn’t panic even when faced with all of his quirks. I was different from Dorothy who was currently looking at the miracle healer with a very strange look.

After putting down the sample, I used my divine energy to restrain it before opening it up for the miracle healer.

As for what this sample was, it was naturally the corruption energy.

But after thinking about it, I realized that just restraining it alone wouldn’t be enough for the miracle healer to study it. I knew that if he wanted to study it, we had to get it to calm down so he could do what he wanted with it.

That was why I turned to Dorothy and said, "Can you get it to calm down?"

She gave a nod before coming forward to raise her hand towards the corruption energy sample. She didn’t summon a corruption energy monster like she did previously, but it was still enough that the corruption energy seemed to stop resisting the divine energy.

Once that was done, I opened up the divine energy circle that I had created so that the miracle healer could do his tests.

But it seemed like he was interested in something else now.

After seeing the way that Dorothy quelled the corruption energy, he seemed to develop an interest in her.

Dorothy didn’t seem to like the way that the miracle healer looked at her, so she came behind me as if she wanted to hide from his gaze.

Once she was behind me, it seemed like the miracle healer lost interest in her and turned back to the corruption energy. But I could tell from the way that he looked over from time to time that this wasn’t the case.

It seemed like he recognized that this corruption energy was connected to Dorothy in some way.

So if he wanted to know about Dorothy’s condition, he had to figure out what this corruption energy was first.

With the different tools that he gathered, it didn’t take long for him to finish what he was doing.

"I have no idea what this is." He said as if he wasn’t bothered by what he was saying.

When I heard him say this, a bitter smile crept onto my face before I said, "Then did you find anything about it?"

"Nope." He said without any hesitation, but he still turned to look at Dorothy who had peeked her head out to see what happened. But the moment that she saw him turning to look at her, she immediately hid behind me once more.

The miracle healer didn’t seem to mind that Dorothy was hiding from him like this as he still looked at her as if he was interested in her.

"So what did you find then?" I asked to draw his attention back to me.

"It’s connected to her in some way."

Another bitter smile appeared on my face when I heard this.

This was just stating the obvious since I had already shown him Dorothy quelling the corruption energy. It was quite clear that Dorothy was related to the corruption energy in some way because of this.

After a pause, the miracle healer muttered as if he was talking to himself, "There’s something about this that’s almost as if it has fused with her."

"Yes, she grew up in an environment that was filled with this energy. So it was only natural that this energy would have seeped into her body and eventually fused with her. That’s why we came to see you since we wanted to see if you could get this energy out of her." I explained after hearing this.

But the miracle healer shook his head and said, "It’s different. It’s not fused with her in a way that comes from her absorbing it afterwards, it seems to be a part of her, almost as if it comes from her."
