What Alton discovered was a strangely shaped platform.

Its overall shape resembled a flatter lounge chair or some kind of movable single bed.

About the width of an adult’s arm, with a length of approximately seven or eight feet, but strangely, in comparison to the beds found in normal rooms, this single bed’s height reached about the waist level of an average person, notably higher, as if specifically designed that way.

The platform was made entirely of cold white marble, with a fine and chilling texture, its surface covered with dark red natural patterns resembling blood vessels, naturally winding down along the platform;

The support underneath consisted of three brass-colored columns made of some unknown forged metal, clearly well-maintained, with a smooth surface showing no signs of oxidation or rust.

Notably, on both sides of the marble platform, there were several metal devices attached:

Slender metal rods extended from the top of the platform, with an adjustable circular copper plate at the end, polished to an extremely bright shine;

In the middle part was a similarly rotatable metal arm, holding a shallow circular silver plate with numerous fine scratches on its surface;

On the sides of the platform were embedded a few pairs of metal clasps covered with soft leather, the leather surface showing many signs of friction.

Compared to the various bizarre constructions the group of six had encountered before, unlike those seeming to merge with the stone walls, and the dilapidated exotic buildings, the platform in front of them uniquely retained its complete shape.

From start to finish, it had fortunately not merged with any objects, quietly resting there.

And its bizarre yet consistent style with other constructions also suggested that this platform was likely not left by the original residents here but came along with those buildings embedded like bugged textures in the stone wall.

"Could it be some kind of instrument of torture?"

Lorin approached to examine it, cautiously speculating.

His finger gently brushed the center of the platform, along with the cold marble touch at the fingertip, was an obvious inward concave curve.

The concave curve was designed very ingeniously, about just right to accommodate a human body, but lying on it would probably not be very comfortable; rather, one would feel a sense of oppressive confinement due to the sunken body.

"These should be the straps for securing the bodies of the sentenced."

The captain of the Vengeance Blade with fiery red hair looked at the leather metal clasps on the sides of the platform, attempting to flip them up from the base. With a click sound, the clasp and ring lock connected, envisioning the scene where a sentenced individual’s body is secured and locked in place on the platform.

"And is that round plate for holding torture tools?"

The barbarian Akken added beside him.

With Lorin’s proposition of "instrument of torture," the various seemingly bizarre designs on the platform before them seemed to all have a reasonable explanation.

Xia Nan stood behind them, silent.

Nonetheless, his expression involuntarily turned more peculiar.

A torture device?

Based on the experiences and memories from his previous life, the platform in front of him, resembling a single bed, was more akin to an operating table of some classical style rather than a torture instrument.

And with his attention focused on the platform, the attribute panel manifesting beside him in the void confirmed his guess.

...

Xia Nan was not a doctor in his previous life, unaware of this surgery bed’s applicability.

But even purely from the five enhancement effects listed on its attribute panel, comprehensively, it was undoubtedly an exceedingly fine item.

If compared to the quality levels of enchanted equipment on the Aifala Continent, with so many effects, it must be rated as Blue Equipment.

This was exactly the purpose of this Golden Finger attribute panel.

While his companions, who possessed a wealth of adventure experience far surpassing his own, were still speculating on the use of this surgery bed.

Xia Nan had already clearly and fully discerned its specific attributes and special enhancements.

Furthermore, through the information revealed in the [Introduction] and [Note] sections, he captured the origin of this surgery bed.

"Blood Vein Rock," "Golden Ring Level Expert," and "Doctor Association."

In nearly two years since his transmigration, Xia Nan had never heard of these terms.

Neither the material known as "Blood Vein Rock" nor the organization "Doctor Association" had ever been mentioned.

This made him more certain that this surgery bed was a product of the Secret Realm.

"Does anyone recognize this emblem?"

Druid Hai Yin seemingly discovered something, pointing to a hand-sized emblem carved on the side of the surgery table.

The specific pattern was a stethoscope hanging vertically.

Of course, no one present recognized this emblem from another world, yet Xia Nan speculated it might be the logo of the so-called "Doctor Association."

For some reason, when first seeing this surgery bed, Lorin seemed very attentive and examined it intently for a long time, particularly focusing his gaze on those metal pillars supporting the platform.
