Chapter 42 Doctor (Additional chapter for Alliance Leader Jiang Yixian)
The investigator's job is relatively easy.
Night watchmen need to take turns on duty, but investigators are only sent out when they have a mission. When there is no mission, they can be leisurely street wanderers.
However, in recent years, strange events have occurred frequently in the real world, and everyone is much busier than before.
"It's possible that one of the Old Ones is about to wake up!..."
This is the conclusion Sean deduced. He forcibly memorized a lot of knowledge from Ms. Hecate. In history, every time strange events frequently occurred in the real world, it was because a certain old one was about to wake up. The time span is uncertain, because the old one may wake up temporarily and fall asleep again soon. Only when the stars are linked together will it be a huge test in the real world.
The clock shows the twelve realms of Nirvana.
The miracle of mankind has always protected the real world well.
Xiao En sorted out his things and put a box of bullets into the drawer. The first spell he specialized in was the 1st level arcane hand. Now he can summon two invisible hands. The power of the invisible hand has increased a lot compared to before. After becoming a specialized spell, it can be "upgraded", that is, the 1st level spell consumes more raw magic power and is forcibly upgraded to the power of the 3rd and 5th levels.
If one could reach the realm of Lady Hecate, the Invisible Hand might be able to break through the limit of 9 rings.
“The investigator’s salary is 2000 dinars.”
"As a wizard apprentice, I also receive an additional subsidy of 1000 dinars." Xiao En picked up a pen and did some calculations, muttering, "I'm still quite short of money right now."
"Benjamin's 1000 dinars have not been returned yet."
I'll go back tomorrow.
When Sean came back from his walk, he bought an envelope, counted out ten 100-dinar bills, and put them into the envelope.
His salary for the last three months was 9000 dinars.
"After paying back 1000, there are still 8600 dinars left." Xiao En frowned slightly, silently counting the money, thinking: "The monthly expenses here may require 300 dinars."
“There’s not a lot of money that can really be spent freely.”
“We still have to fight in the wild.”
When investigators deal with strange incidents, they sometimes get some extra gains. They can keep some of them, and there are also rewards for those who hand them in. If they only rely on the fixed salary, although it is also a high salary, it is not enough to meet the needs of advancement.
Sean has no intention of lowering his quality of life.
He is an investigator, and investigators will not compromise on material life. Moreover, the modern lifestyle is more suitable for him, but this lifestyle has higher daily expenses.
Investigators and night watchmen are paid for their lives.
No one knows when a person will be gone.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I can save about 2500 dinars a month."
Xiao En thought of his last experience and said to himself, "Ordinary extraordinary relics are worth at least thousands of dinars. It takes three months to buy one to add extra spells."
“This is too slow.”
"Besides, the daily expenses of being a wizard are not low, and I need to continue to accumulate mystical knowledge. If I study alchemy, the expenses will increase exponentially."
"No wonder people say that those who practice spellcasting are short of money."
Sean decided to think carefully about ways to make money. Of course, he couldn't do anything illegal. The law is the cornerstone of reality, and supernatural illegal incidents have always been the main target of the Night Watch.
A few months ago, Benjamin was still hunting down a wandering poet who used his charm to seduce noble ladies. It was said that he had been thrown into the extraordinary prison for reeducation through labor.
Once a wild extraordinary person is put on the wanted blacklist, he may not face the Night Watchmen, but the Death Patrollers!
"Can you make some small inventions?"
Xiao En pondered for a long time, and finally gave up. He was really not cut out for scientific research, and was not that familiar with the real world.
It would be better to consider whether you can find a young, beautiful and rich woman.
"The daily accumulation of knowledge in the wizarding path requires a lot of time. Currently, my main focus should be on digesting the mysterious knowledge."
Xiao En closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
Silent all night.
Benjamin arrived at eight o'clock the next day. Sean had been to the headquarters of the Night Watch once and did not encounter any trouble. Jima was in charge of the reception. After completing the procedures, he was officially appointed to the position.
Then, Sean got off work.
There haven't been any extraordinary events recently, the other investigators are on vacation, and Hank won't be back until three days later.
If there is a special event, someone will notify Xiao En.
"It's really easy to be an investigator."
Sean went for a walk in the dock area in the afternoon. The night watchmen needed to take turns on duty, and Benjamin would also have to go to work tomorrow, so he was the only one who had some free time.
Life suddenly became so leisurely that Xiao En was still a little uncomfortable.
Library. Just as Xiao En was accumulating his knowledge step by step, a stern man in his thirties found him in the reading room. He showed his ID and said in a deep voice, "Investigator Xiao En."
"There is a difficult matter in the infirmary that needs your help."
Come to life?
But why the infirmary?
Xiao En carefully examined the other party's ID and knew that there was no problem.
Fifteen minutes later.
Sean saw a woman who looked somewhat familiar. He had met her once before during an incident in the old town.
Infirmary.
A blonde woman wearing rimless glasses came towards me. She had a soft and gentle face, about 27 or 28 years old, and was wearing a white coat, dressed like a doctor.
At this moment, she hurried to Xiao En and asked in a serious tone, "Touch of Immortality, will it work?"
Touch of Undeath?
Xiao En nodded silently.
"Then follow me and follow my command." The woman pushed open the door, motioned Xiao En to go in, and then said in a deep voice: "When I give the order, you will use the Touch of Undeath to paralyze the target."
There was a pool of dirty blood on the ground.
Sean heard the patient's painful cries. In front of his sight, there was a young man dressed as a night watchman, his hands and feet were locked tightly, and the bed was covered with vomited blood and filth. He struggled violently, but was held down by a burly man.
"Carol, hold on!" the burly man said in a heavy tone.
A girl who looked a bit like a nurse ran over and said to the woman in front of Xiao En, "Doctor. The anesthetic has no effect on him at all."
The woman quickly picked up the scalpel, glanced at the others, and said in a deep voice, "Hold him down."
"Don't move!"
After saying that, she quickly cut open the clothes and pants of the young man on the bed. On a pair of powerful and muscular thighs, Xiao En saw a bunch of wriggling things, like swollen pustules, with a trace of blood overflowing. The patient's flesh was torn, and a ten-centimeter-long dark red flesh tentacle stretched out.
The doctor tore off the patient's clothes. On the surface of his body, traces of abscesses were spreading and moving slowly towards the heart and brain.
Between the texture of blood vessels and muscles, one can see strange, twisted dark green traces spreading like earthworms.
"Flesh and blood rampage?"
"Did he come into contact with a strange creature? Or is he about to lose control?" Xiao En's expression was solemn.
The doctor turned around with a stern look on his face, glanced at Xiao En and said, "Don't be stunned! Touch of Immortality!"
"Now! Immediately!"
Xiao En stepped forward quickly, and the moment his fingers touched the other person, a cold negative energy like death emerged, and the young man who was struggling violently instantly froze in place. Not only him, but even the strange thing under his skin that was wriggling like an earthworm was completely paralyzed by the power of the Touch of Undeath.
"Don't stop casting spells." The doctor picked up the scalpel and cut open the other person's skin.
Drenched with blood.
Strange dark red flesh roots grew out of the opponent's muscle texture, and some even extended to the organs. A cold sweat appeared on the doctor's forehead, and he silently took the scalpel and cut off the deformed flesh tissue.
Sean had been maintaining the power of the Undying Touch, and at the moment he was in no mood to consider whether the patient could withstand multiple spells.
The entire operation lasted nearly half an hour. Xiao En witnessed the doctor cutting open the patient's skin and removing the deformed flesh and blood bit by bit.
This is simply a living skinning operation.
Outside the infirmary.
Xiao En, who was finally able to catch his breath, vomited with a "wow" sound, and vomited all over the place.
"Is everything okay?"
A slender hand gently patted Xiao En's back and comforted him, "You'll get used to it in the future."
She handed over a tissue, looked at Sean who was slowly recovering, and said, "Enid Bella. Doctor."
Sean silently held out his hand and said, "Sean. Investigator."
Wow!
Under the slightly teasing look of the doctor in front of him, Xiao En vomited again.
He swore that this was the most disgusting and bloody scene he had ever seen.
He may still need some adaption.
