The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 706 - 704: Soaking

After spending half a day visiting the Silver Moon Clinic and participating in several surgeries, Dentist Jessica returned to her dwelling, a temporary shack set up next to the clinic, feeling somewhat tired.

Following her were a group of nurse fangirls, and even Doctor Fana personally saw her off, for a very simple reason: Jessica’s skills in surgery surpassed everyone present.

Fana also sought out Lorrian at the first opportunity, planning to use the "Memory Display" to let the Principal see Jessica’s medical techniques.

When Fana found the basement, she discovered Lorrian standing guard by a bathtub, where a young nurse with not many years of illness experience was soaking,

Upon seeing this scene, the lips of the head mounted on the IV stand quivered and teeth gently bit the lower lip—clearly somewhat displeased.

However, as soon as she saw the Blood Cross on the face of the young nurse, she immediately felt a surge of chaotic kinship.

"Master, what is this!"

Lorrian then turned his head back, his index finger pressed to his lips signaling her to be silent, then pointed to a stool next to him for her to sit down.

About six hours passed,

The young nurse began to struggle frantically in the bathtub, even turning the silvery seawater completely red.

Clang!

The bathtub shattered and Lorrian held the weakened nurse in his arms.

"You did very well~ I am quite satisfied."

"Thank you, Principal, but teacher he..." the young nurse cried out in excitement, her face covered in tears of blood. In the last moment of the Illusion Dream Realm, she was asked to choose between Lorrian and William in front of them; once she chose one, the other would die completely.

She chose Lorrian, watching William decay into rotten flesh and die, an event too real to forget, even back in reality.

Meanwhile, Fana, seeing Lorrian’s tender care for the young nurse, dug her toenails completely into the sole of her high-heels, just about to ask what had happened when

suddenly Lorrian turned around,

"Fana, the clinic should soon have a whole new medical team, all with the same Blood Cross traits as you.

You might even try to establish a Blood Cross Society by yourself as a special department of the clinic."

"What! We can now specifically carry out Chaos Transformations? Are those instant noodles that effective?"

"It’s not just the instant noodles, there’s also William’s touch in it... that kid really has some skills~ it looks like we’ll have to really work with his circus performances in the future."

Doctor Fana, however, bit her lip and offered a different opinion, "Principal~ William is quite scheming. If we become more involved with him, it may become hard to disentangle later... and we might be used by him again.

You’re so young, Principal, and have plenty of time. We can completely rely on ourselves to control the chaos."

Slap~ Suddenly, Lorrian, who appeared to be seated on the edge of the bathtub, teleported in front of Fana, his fingers clasping her jaw and abruptly pulling it upward!

Whoosh!

The IV stand that served as a torso was yanked from her lower half, seized in mid-air by Lorrian.

"Hey~ Has the chaos affected your thinking, Fana?

My previous so-called ’being used’ was only because I coveted William’s physical body. Now I have no thoughts about him, only a pure cooperation... and even if it is using, it is mutual use.

Besides, with our current research progress, we might not be able to perform targeted transformations for another hundred years, and thus not able to gain an advantage in the initial stages of the World Infection, getting suppressed by those so-called Source Epidemic Areas once more.

Just go do your job, take good care of your medical team."

"Understood... understood."

Whoosh!

The framework was inserted back into her lower half, and the female doctor dared not broach the subject again.

"Master, I came down this time to show you something else."

"What is it?"

"That Dentist Jessica from the Old World’s Teeth Hall possesses extraordinary medical skills and has shown us some new techniques that we have never seen before."

"Oh, show me."

The female doctor consciously split open her brain, isolated a nerve connected to the memory area, and threw it to Lorrian.

After a session of Memory Review, Lorrian nodded his head, "The hospitals of the Old World do indeed have some interesting ancient medical arts... However, we’ve already offended the Deep Sea, and it won’t be good if we also offend the Teeth Hall. Let’s see if we can keep her here."

...

Jessica, weary in both body and mind after a day of visiting, coupled with her previous journey through the Illusion Dream Realm.

Stepping into the house, Jessica promptly took off her long boots and casually stored away her mask,

pinching the stitched line at the corner of her mouth with her fingers, she removed it entirely, revealing a mouth that was torn all the way to the earlobes.

Hu~

Relaxing her stitched mouth was akin to how some human females with heavy burdens would return home and unhook the clasps on their backs, a sense of relief that was indescribable swept through her whole body,

Since arriving in the human world, Jessica had not had the chance to relax for a long time; after all, at first, everything was unfamiliar, but now she could practically ensure there were no dangers.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she gently massaged her fair calves,

"I did not expect New Moon Origin to actually be related to medicine, although the medical level here is not high, they do possess some really novel and unique things.

After going back, I need to discuss with the directors if we should cooperate with the Moon."

"By the way, haven’t Sister Desline and William returned yet? If they haven’t, I might as well go take a shower first, I still smell of seawater."

Pure white feet stepped onto the tiled floor,

Shaking her white hair, she walked towards the bathroom,

Click~

Turning the doorknob and pushing the door open, the sight in front of her made her stall; she put back on the turtleneck sweater she was about to take off.

The overflowing bathtub was filled with dazzling star particles,

William and Desline, clothed, sat opposite each other in it, eyes closed, the aura emanating from their bodies completely absorbed by the stars, even their most basic breathing had ceased.

"Is this... the Stargazer’s meditation?"

Jessica walked over as discreetly as possible, and out of curiosity, reached out to touch the star water in the bathtub.

Hum!

The instant she touched it, her consciousness was also transported to the vast expanse of deep space, her mind emptied and scattered within it.

Jessica had been undergoing intense medical training since her birth, even her dreams while sleeping were about medical learning and training,

She had never relaxed like she did now, even feeling that each of her teeth was no longer tense, but comfortably lying in the sockets of her gums, snoring through teeth grinding.

Her thoughts emptied, her weary body and soul rested at this moment.

Her consciousness, hit by cosmic rays, broke down into the most primal particles, scattering across the universe, yet some special pull dragged her consciousness along,

Joining the equally disassembled thought particles of William and Desline, a trinity.

When the star particles in the bathtub were exhausted,

Their meditation immediately ended, and their conscious dust quickly gathered and returned to their bodies.

William was the first to awaken, but discovered that, oddly, an extra person had joined the directors’ bath, sitting right on top of him.

However, William had no time to contemplate these issues.

He suddenly grabbed the arms of the two ladies and yanked them out of the bathtub, the strong pull almost dislocating Desline’s wrist.

"William, why so forceful? It’s just that Sister Jessica joined us, no harm done, we were just having a normal spiritual exchange,"

"Director, you take a look for yourself..."

Following William’s pointing finger, the tub that should have been crystal clear was bubbling continuously, and each bubble corresponded to an eye,

And it was not clear water at all, but a foul-smelling mire somewhere between liquid and rotten flesh,

utter chaos.

Desline, staring at the residue of the bathtub, also widened her eyes, "This is... chaos material washed from our bodies, from our consciousness~ No wonder I felt my thoughts were strange last night; if it wasn’t for thinking of helping you, William, recover your spirit, I might have done something not very nice."

William, too, was stroking his chin, recalling that a night soaked in the stars had cleared his mind a lot, "Is it Lorrian’s doing? Or did we accidentally come into contact with chaos material..."

Going through the events of yesterday, William affirmed his condition had indeed been strange. Especially when achieving an objective by underhanded means, his heart would experience a strong sense of overstepping.

"It must be the chaos material left behind after the Brain in a Vat experience... or maybe someone among us ingested chaos material yesterday," said Dentist Jessica.

Concluding, Jessica and the Principal turned their gaze towards William.
