Chapter 382 "Tianshan Child-Grandma"

Backlund Krag Club.

"I've been so unlucky lately!" Dr. Allen sighed and complained to Talim, the equestrian teacher in front of him:

“First, I was attacked by pigeon droppings when I went out, and then I fell down the stairs in the hospital and fractured my bones.

“In the past two days, several surgeries went awry and my medical license was nearly revoked. Fortunately, the patient was a tolerant and kind elder who interceded with the dean, so I was able to continue working.

“Even so, I was faced with a high compensation bill.

"Talim, tell me... am I cursed? You deal with nobles a lot, do you have any solution? Um... like village witch doctors, divination, or other mysterious powers?"

Talim Dumont, who had short brown curly hair, was surprised:
“This is truly extraordinary. We all know your medical skills, and you definitely wouldn’t fail in surgeries one after another.

"Well... I know quite a few 'divination enthusiasts', but they are just enthusiasts and may not be able to help you." Seeing that Dr. Allen was depressed, he couldn't help but say:
“Hey, don’t be discouraged, this isn’t like the famous surgeon Allen.

"Just because I can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it. For example," Talim found a newspaper from the sofa beside him and put it on the table.

"Backlund's most famous detective team recently! It is said that they can perfectly complete any commission. The nickname of the two in the industry is: 'The Master Detective'!
"Why don't you ask the detectives for help?"

Doctor Allen's eyes lit up and he said:

"You are right! Thank you, Talim!" He took the newspaper and read:
"Sherlock, Watson... 15 Minsk Street!"

……

"This is the situation, two great detectives, do you have any solution?" Dr. Allen looked at the man and woman with hope on his face.

"Bad luck..." Peiman hesitated at first, then suddenly shocked. The other party's experience was indeed unlucky, but it was still much worse than her own "bad luck"! I have been really unlucky during this period! Fortunately, I worked hard to mediate between the "Aurora Society", "Merceman Festival" and "The Mandated Punisher", and finally calmed down the biggest threat, the shit ambassador!
And he had never thought that it was the influence of extraordinary factors? Could it be that the doctor's curse was fake, and Leonard and he were the ones who encountered the real curse? !
Leonard didn't think so much. He said thoughtfully:

"Your faith is in the... Goddess of Night. Have you been to the church? You know, her name includes the description 'Queen of Disaster and Terror', so 'doom' is also under her control, perhaps..."

Doctor Allen immediately said:
"I've also thought about what Mr. Sherlock said. I've been to St. Samuel's Church to pray and donate recently, but my situation hasn't changed at all! Sometimes I wonder if it's because I've angered the goddess and am being punished by God?"

God's punishment is not like this! You are just an ordinary person. Let alone God's punishment, you should have been buried in the grave long ago if you were punished by an extraordinary person! Peiman drove away all the thoughts in her mind, complained silently, and advised:

“Please calm down, Dr. Allen. God is forgiving and merciful. He will not punish His devout believers at will.

"Please think carefully, when did your bad luck begin? Did anything unusual happen to you at that time? Or did you meet any unusual people?"

Dr. Allen fell into deep thought, then hesitated and said:
“After your reminder, I remembered one thing, but my luck had not yet turned bad.

"I was in charge of a patient, a child under ten years old, very pitiful, because of some problems, he needed to have his left leg amputated...

"…"I played Tarot divination with him and accidentally found a reversed 'Wheel of Fortune'…

“He told me:
"Doctor, your luck will get worse."

"..." Leonard and Peiman looked at each other and basically confirmed the source of the "curse". It was actually done by a child under ten years old! Peiman thought of the image of child ghosts in horror movies she had seen before, such as the naked child in "The Grudge" and the little zombies in "Zombie Family". She couldn't help but lean towards Leonard and said:

"Then, that child ghost, oh no, what's the name of that patient? Obviously the problem lies here. If you want to commission it, we will start investigating from there."

Doctor Allen also realized this. He said in a panic and lost tone:

“His name is Will, Will Ausignyne.

"I can't understand why he cursed me when I cared so much about him and the operation was successful and he was discharged from the hospital."

Peiman nodded, took the standard contract from the table beside her, and said as she modified it:

"'People and ghosts have different paths'. Even if some 'ghosts' have no ill will towards people, their mere existence can cause negative effects. This is actually a magnetic field effect..." She was talking nonsense at this time, all about the plots in the movies she had watched before, and her personal experience after getting along with the "ghost" Sharon. She continued:

"Once we find Will, we should be able to ask him about this matter in person. Doctor Allen, please take a look at this contract. If you have no objection, we will start the investigation as quickly as possible!"

"Ghost, ghost? You mean... Will has..." Alan took the paper with trembling hands and asked in disbelief.

"Metaphor! It's just a metaphor!" Peiman held Leonard's right hand and smiled:
"It's too early to say anything now. Maybe Will didn't want to harm you, but he was cursed and then passed it on to you... He even reminded you specifically for this..."

Alan suddenly realized:

"Yes, just like the theory of infectious diseases proposed by Emperor Roselle...

"Ms. Watson is indeed a famous detective! Now I feel much better!" He quickly read the contract, only pausing for a few seconds on the "10 pounds" in the remuneration column, and then readily signed his name.

Leonard, who was standing by, clearly felt that Peiman was very afraid of "ghosts"... He couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the always strong Peiman also had a "natural enemy"! Yeah, that's right. When he just crawled out of the grave, Peiman was also scared and even lied to herself that it was a dream...

After seeing the client off, he said:

"That child should be a Beyonder, and his path is one of those related to 'Destiny'? Could he be a member of the Goddess Church? But if he is so young, his Sequence can't be high, so how could he have such a big impact?"

Peiman crossed her arms and said:
"Hehe, you don't know this. Does it really mean that someone who looks like a child is a child? Do you know 'Tien Shan Tong Lao'... well, I forgot the name, but what it means is that the child might be an unrivaled expert, but because of injury, loss of power or other reasons, he turned into his childhood self! That's absolutely right!
“Of course, if it really is a ‘ghost’… then I’ll leave it to you. Don’t expect me to fight it.

"Alas, it's a pity that Ms. Sharon's bodyguard mission has ended and she has left. Otherwise, it would be much easier to deal with her..."
