Bay City·Chengdong, industrial zone.

The haze in the sky and the large chimneys that constantly emit black smoke are the most common sights in the east of the city. It is evening, and most factories only have night lights on. The lop-eared dogs in the factory yards that have been sleeping all day are getting energetic.

There are brightly lit apartment buildings surrounding the factory area. There are poor people everywhere. The industrial area is where the poor live. The air here is polluted. There is no seaport and it is not a major transportation thoroughfare.

The unique environment leads to the breeding of crime.

An ordinary low-rent apartment, on the second floor, in room 205.

Inspection Captain Arles and his elegantly dressed but haggard-looking wife were guarding the door of the bedroom. The beautiful woman poked her head in from time to time. Although she was anxious, she was afraid of making any noise and disturbing the people in the bedroom.

Physician diagnosis and treatment.

A few months ago, a kind of aging disease appeared. Those doctors who were secretly summoned by the royal family believed that this disease was not contagious. To be precise, it was not a disease at all. The patients just followed the laws of nature and died of old age.

, healthy old age and death.

It sounds a bit contradictory, but that's what happened. Faced with this situation, the Elf Royal Family took measures. They sent people to secretly pick up patients from various places and concentrated them near the palace, or simply placed them in the palace.

Regardless of the patient's status, the incineration must be completed within 6 hours after death.

At present, the patrol captain Arles is secretly hiding his son who has senile disease. If he is discovered, it will not be a matter of losing his official position, but he will also be sentenced to death.

The reason why Arles took such a big risk and hid his son in a slum was because in recent months, he had sent people to secretly send away all the people with senile diseases in the central neighborhood? He knew clearly? These people

I went to Houcheng District and never came out again.

Arles looked into the bedroom. The reason why he invited Su Xiao here and let the other party know the secret that was enough to make him lose his head was because of the other party's identity as a foreigner.

Arles didn't know why his immediate boss asked him to go to Central Park to test this stranger. However, the order he received was that if the other party's identity was suspicious, he could kill him on the spot.

Is this what the inspection captain Arles saw? A doctor from a foreign country, even if the other party cannot cure his son, there will be no risk.

In the bedroom, Su Xiao picked up the blood sample on the bedside table and checked it. After the "destruction reaction", he became more convinced that the ancestors of the elves did not enter the "talent awakening device" to activate the device themselves, but used the "talent awakening device"

” Deeply activate the power of the abyss and then absorb it? Or drink the power of the abyss directly that has reached a liquid state.

According to Su Xiao's long-term observation and research, the power of the abyss is the most adaptable energy he has ever seen. The corrosive power and assimilation power of this energy are incredibly strong.

If the power of the abyss erodes the ice, the ice can freeze space, time, and even thinking. What if the power of the abyss erodes the flames? The flames will become extremely powerful, but there will also be the side effect of slowly burning the world.

A simple understanding is that the power of the abyss is an extremely dangerous amplifying energy. It has no characteristics of its own. Things amplified by it will also have strong side effects if they are particularly prominent in one aspect.

A simple analogy for this kind of aging disease among the elves is that if a bottle leaks, Su Xiao can repair it and refill the bottle with water without putting in much effort.

Elf aging is another condition. This is not a bottle leaking, but a bottle with a capacity of 500 ml that has shrunk to a capacity of 100 ml.

There are two ways to cure it. 1. Remake the bottle, which means returning it to the factory and rebuilding it. With Su Xiao's current level of alchemy, this is impossible. 2. Forcibly pour water into the bottle, 500 ml of it.

Water, stretch this bottle to a capacity of 500 ml.

If you do this, the mortality rate during the treatment will be very high, because the probability of the bottle being blown is too high, and the mortality rate of the treatment is probably over 98%, which means that 2 people will survive after treating 100 people.

Where there is a cause, there is an effect. This is the cause planted by the ancestors of the elves. No matter how terrible the fruit is now, they have to eat it.

Abandoning the premise of complete cure, Su Xiao has many ways. Although the 'bottle' has been reduced to a capacity of 100 ml, as long as the 100 ml bottle is refilled, the aging patient can be cured, and the treatment efficiency is exaggerated.

Some things are simple in theory, but not so in practice. Aging disease is the depletion of original vitality, which initially manifests as weakness, lethargy, and ultimately death from depletion of vitality.

It is not that there are no talented doctors among the elves. They have determined this a long time ago. The problem is that no matter what method they use, they cannot replenish the patient's original vitality. Even if they temporarily supplement it with medicine, the vitality will drift away.

The fundamental problem still lies in bloodline distortion. If this problem is not solved, it will be useless no matter how much the original vitality is replenished. It is like if you don't mend a bottle with a broken bottom, no matter how much water you pour into it, it will leak out.

What makes Su Xiao a little confused is in which world the Mushroom Prophet obtained the [blood-purifying secret medicine (medicine formula)]. This is definitely the right medicine.

If the doctor had just listened to the mushroom prophet's narration and diagnosed to this extent, his medical skills would be astonishing.

But this has nothing to do with Su Xiao. The idea provided by [Secret Blood Purifying Medicine (Pharmaceutical Formula)] has greatly saved his time. He needs to find a place as soon as possible to perfect the [Secret Blood Purifying Medicine].

"Arles, your son's condition is worse than imagined."

Su Xiao took off the electrode pads from the aging boy's body, and there was a hint of regret in his words.

Hearing what Su Xiao said, the beautiful woman who had just gained some hope covered her face and cried, while the inspection captain Arles beside her looked brilliant.

Don't underestimate anyone. Although Arles is just a patrol captain, he is also a local boss. Anyone who can become a local boss in the capital of the elves will definitely not be a fool.

"Doctor Bai Ye, if there is anything you need me to do, I will not delay it."

"This is not a problem. Your son's condition is very serious. Please prepare for the funeral as soon as possible."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, the inspection team leader Arles said urgently: "Doctor Bai Ye, I know you must have a way."

"..."

Su Xiao sat down again on the chair next to the bed. He looked sideways at Arles and said, "Before I entered this apartment, I found an informant nearby. It seems that the royal family already knows what you are doing."

Arles nodded. In fact, he had already found out that he couldn't hide it, but as a father, he would not give up on his son. Although his son was lazy and lazy, he also had many advantages, such as filial piety and business acumen.

"You deceived the royal family and hid the patients. This alone is enough to kill you."

"I know?"

Arles nodded heavily, as if he had made some kind of determination, and said, "Doctor Bai Ye, use my life in exchange for my son's survival. I'm ready."

"Don't get me wrong, this is not a matter of your death. If your son suddenly recovers, not only him, but also your whole family will also die. Don't worry, your whole family will go away in good order."

Hearing what Su Xiao said, Arles' eyes almost turned bloodshot. When he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case.

"but,"

Su Xiao's sudden stop was just two words, which made Arles instinctively have some hope.

"If you conspire with me... cough~, if you cooperate with me, we may be able to solve this problem. I was invited by the Mushroom Prophet to come here to earn medical fees, and you, the patrol captain Arles, were the first to discover that in the park

I am waiting for someone, and after your due diligence in asking, you found out why I came, and that my enemies also came to this world.

In order to ensure that I will not be assassinated by my enemies, you can only hide some information first. After learning that I can cure aging disease, you took me to see an aging patient. In the end, I cured the aging patient, but for the royal family

You are loyal and have reported this matter to the royal family. Arles, do you think this story is satisfactory?"

Su Xiao turned her head and looked at Arles, with a kind smile on her face.

The corners of Arles' eyes twitched. He was now 1000% sure that this lazy, casual doctor in a white robe was by no means a good person. What he showed was most likely just a disguise.

"This...this is overstepping your authority."

Arles was hesitant. According to normal procedures, the most he could do was report it to his immediate superior, the commander of the city guard, Pang Kailin. All the city guards in the city were dispatched by this person.

Within the system of the elves, there is no difference between reporting someone who exceeds their authority and seeking death. Nine out of ten people who overstep their authority will die, and the last one will be transferred to the guard post in the heat-defending jungle.

"Arles, you have made great contributions to the royal family."

"But this..."

Arles still hesitated.

"Who said you are overstepping your authority? If you sit in the position of your immediate boss, you are not overstepping your authority. Those are the positions above. If you don't kick one down, which positions can you take?"

After hearing what Su Xiao said, Arles lowered his eyes and thought. Finally, he shook his head.

"You don't want that seat?"

"I... don't have the qualifications yet."

Arles was indeed moved just now, but he quickly calmed down.

"There are not many people who are as self-aware as you. I am optimistic about you."

As Su Xiao spoke, the exile in his sleeves gradually peeled off, and he was about to kill him. At this moment, Arles, who had been hanging his head, raised his head and said:

"I did it. I've been unhappy with that old guy for a long time."

Arles' attitude turned 180°. Why is this? This is because Arles has a secret. He can sense the approach of death. Just at that moment, he felt the strongest sense of death in his life. This is more powerful than Arles's death.

The feeling of death he once led a team to fight against the tree spirits was a hundred times, a thousand times stronger.

"So, you can contact the royal family?"

"It can and it can't. You have to try it before you know."

"I wish you success. After midnight, come to my newly opened clinic to get medicine for your son."

Leaving these words behind, Su Xiao stepped up and walked out of the apartment.

After leaving the apartment, the cool night breeze blew in, and Baha, whose talons were stained with blood, flew over. The few secret sentries following around were all eliminated by Baha.

Although Su Xiao will not be directly hostile to the elves at this stage, he will not be overly tolerant. As a doctor from the outside world, he has no means of killing enemies. On the contrary, he is suspicious and does not show enough strength. Sometimes he can

Understood as guilty conscience.

We need to give the royal family an attitude: 'I'm here to help you treat aging diseases, not to work as a coolie for you, so be polite to me.'

"Boss, Wood said that the priests and others live in the vestibule of the palace. It seems that they have some friendship with the Elf King Cromwell. As for Sias, they gave him 10 soul crystals (complete)

Finally, the guy finally agreed, and the time is set for tomorrow morning, but boss, isn’t tomorrow morning a bit too hasty?”

There was some worry in Baha's tone.

"The priest won't give us too much time. Tomorrow morning is already the limit."

Su Xiao raised her hand to the patrol captain Arles, who was watching him from a distance, indicating that he could go back.

Su Xiao had wanted to find a local snake to cooperate with before, and his original candidate was the wandering elf Lago.

But Lai Ge used practical actions to tell Su Xiao that as long as he was useless enough, he would not be used by Su Xiao.

Lai Ge combines many "advantages" such as greed for money, sex, fear of death, laziness, indifference, and unrighteousness for profit. Apart from these, there is no shining point. Su Xiao has been observing this person since Sunshine Wetland.

By the time they arrived in Bay City, Su Xiao was completely convinced that Lago was a piece of trash, and no matter how hard he tried to support him, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything big.

Walking under the streetlight, Su Xiao took out the [Blood Purifying Secret Medicine (Pharmaceutical Formula)] and checked it. Not far away, a beautiful figure followed his pace, pretending to hold his arm, and winked at him with her left eye.

, asked: "Do you have time?"

"..."

Su Xiao ignored it and continued to move forward. The elf girl behind him snorted lightly and leaned against the street lamp pole to look for the next target. When she noticed Adol behind her, her eyes lit up and she tried to strike up a conversation.
To be continued...
