The inner city.
The inner city, which had a total of four blocks, was now in a state of desolation.
The originally dense crowd had decreased by a lot, and many of them had bandages wrapped around their wounds.
In the temporary hospital, Goth and Andy walked into the white corridor of the hospital.
Both of them were trying their best to adjust their expressions so that Jessica wouldn't notice anything.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine, everything will be fine." Goth patted Andy's shoulder.
"Maybe." Andy smiled awkwardly.
Walking to Jessica's ward, Goth pushed open the door, and was surprised to see a man in a grey robe sitting by Jessica's bed, peeling an apple for her.
He saw Jessica smiling at the two of them, but she had no intention of explaining.
Hearing the door open, the man in the grey robe stood up and turned around, revealing a gentle and handsome smile.
"Long time no see, Goth, Andy."
"Garon!!??" Goth's voice rose a few octaves, pointing at Garon with a face full of shock and excitement.
Andy's face was also filled with astonishment.
"Garon, didn't you already …?"
"Did you think I was dead?" Garen could not help but laugh. "I hid under a ruin and relied on the food I found there to survive for a long time. Then, I took the opportunity when the monsters were attracted by the battle in the inner city and secretly escaped back here." When he talked about his return, his face was full of emotions and he seemed to have some lingering fears.
Goth opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything. He just went up and gave Garon a big hug.
Andy laughed happily at the side.
"It's good that you're back safely."
During this period of time, Jessica's incident had caused the two of them to fall into a state of depression, and now they didn't expect Garon to still be alive. Their originally gloomy mood lightened up a little.
Goth patted Garon's back with all his might.
"Don't make me lose friends again." His voice was low.
"What's wrong?" Garon frowned. "What happened?"
Goth wanted to say something, but stopped. Garon knew that now was not the right time to say, so he just smiled.
The three of them sat in the ward and chatted about the recent situation. JESSICA sat at the side and listened quietly with a faint smile on her face.
The four of them who had been together before were finally gathered together. None of them were missing. This was obviously something worth celebrating.
However, unlike the heartless Garon, Andy secretly felt that the Garon who had returned this time was not as simple as he had described himself to be. This former comrade of his seemed to have an additional layer of mystery.
After chatting with Jessica for a while, the three of them got up and went out together. They found a restaurant and sat down, each ordering a standard meal.
Garon crossed his fingers on the table and looked at Goth and Andy. His expression quickly calmed down.
"Alright, can you tell me what's going on now?" His voice was low as he stared at the two of them calmly.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Both Goth and Andy had unnatural expressions on their faces.
Suddenly, Garon seemed to have discovered something wrong. His gaze immediately locked onto Goth.
"No! Goth, what's wrong with your left eye!? " His voice suddenly had a hint of nervousness. In fact, he had already recognized Goth as a friend from the bottom of his heart. However, the situation now seemed to be out of his expectations. There was a slight deviation in history.
"Left eye?" Andy was stunned as well. At the same time, he looked at Goth's left eye. "What's wrong with your left eye?"
Goth looked away unnaturally.
"Nothing, I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable. I haven't been resting well recently." He was a little hesitant as he made up an explanation.
Garon seemed to have discovered something. His face instantly darkened.
"Don't move!" He stood up and pulled away Goth's left hand that was covering his eye.
The two of them immediately saw Goth's left eye. The color of that eye was not Goth's original color. Instead, it was lifeless with a hint of dark red. That was a fake eye!
Goth was silent as he allowed his two friends to stare at his left eye.
"It's nothing serious. Actually … It's just a mission. It's good enough that I'm still alive." He mumbled softly.
The atmosphere between the three of them became even more oppressive.
Garon looked at Goth. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Goth, you … did this because of Jessica, right?"
Andy clenched his fist and lowered his head.
Goth revealed a relaxed smile.
"A few days ago, my left eye was injured by a monster. When I came back, I realized that I couldn't see. Madame Madeleine gave me a fake eye. It's not a big deal. One eye is enough, isn't it? Don't be so serious, you two. Relax. It's rare that we're all here. Isn't it good that everyone is fine? "
Garon did not think that something like this would happen to Goth not long after he left.
Although he wanted to rely on Goth to continuously obtain potential points, he did not want to obtain them in such a way.
"Let's talk about Jessica." He sighed and sat down again.
"Jessica will be fine. Trust me." Goth waved his hand. "I've found a doctor from the Duke's Mansion to treat her. No matter how difficult the illness is, it can't stump the people from the Duke's Mansion. It'll be fine. Jessica will be fine soon. Then, the four of us will form a team. The Black Panther Squad will be complete. Then, we'll turn the tide of the battle. Finally, we'll be rewarded by the Duke and be conferred by the Royal Family. We'll reach the pinnacle of our lives and become an important person. Tsk tsk … Just thinking about it makes me excited! "Goth revealed a daydreaming expression.
"You're daydreaming …" Andy could not help but give him a punch.
For a moment, the three of them could not help but laugh.
The plates were served. The atmosphere was no longer as heavy as before. The three of them talked about their situation and plans. Among them, Garen was the one who was questioned the most. However, with his experience and temperament, he naturally wouldn't be discovered by these two people. He immediately brought out the speech that he had prepared beforehand and added in some details along the way. It was flawless.
Even Andy, who was more mature, was fooled.
When the three of them were halfway through their meal, a young man in purple entered the restaurant. The man was handsome and had a graceful smile on his face. He glanced at the sparse restaurant and walked towards Goth and the other two.
"Doctor Elielan!" Goth was the first to see the man in purple. He quickly stood up. "Why are you here? Come! Let's sit down and eat. "
Andy stood up as well. His face revealed a warm and sincere smile. He invited the man to sit down and eat. Then, he greeted the waiter in the restaurant.
Garon wore a polite smile on his face as he sized up the man in purple. Vaguely, he felt a familiar aura from this man.
"I'm a member of the Black Panther Squad, Garon." He extended his hand to the man.
The man named Elielan also extended his hand with a smile and shook Garon's hand gently.
"I'm Elielan, the doctor in charge of Jessica's condition. Nice to meet you. "
"Same here."
With just a slight contact, the two of them felt that the other was hiding something.
In other words, the two of them used their own unique ways to feel the depth of the other person's appearance.
Both of their hands shook lightly and separated.
After Elielan sat down, Goth and Andy started to ask about Jessica's condition. Garon sat at the side and listened to the three of them talk quietly.
The meal lasted for more than an hour before it slowly ended.
Goth and Andy invited Garon to stay at their place but were rejected.
After a few consecutive battles, the population in the inner city had decreased tremendously. There were empty houses everywhere. Totem users did not need money. They could move in directly after registering with the clerk.
Garon randomly found a well-decorated house and moved in.
The next morning, he went straight to the hospital where Jessica was staying and found the doctor in charge of Jessica's ward.
"Number 128 Jessica's condition? You're her? "The doctor looked at Garon hesitantly.
In the office, the middle-aged female doctor was holding a report and was about to leave. However, she was stopped by the man in the grey robe.
"Yes, I'm her friend. It's just that she and the rest of her friends are hiding the truth from me. I want to know the truth. "Garon nodded seriously.
"The truth?" The female doctor frowned. "Jessica's condition is very strange. It seems to be a rare disease. We can only rely on anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers to keep her alive. Even so, she only has less than half a year left … "Perhaps it was because she had seen too many deaths recently. The doctor's expression was a little regretful.
"I'm very sorry. Jessica is a very good girl."
"It's okay. Thank you, doctor. " Garon's heart skipped a beat. He stood at the door and watched the doctor walk away quickly. A few nurses came up to her and surrounded her.
He walked towards Jessica's ward with heavy steps.
It was early in the morning. The sky was not completely bright yet.
Garon stood outside the glass wall of the ward and looked at Jessica who was sleeping soundly.
"Reality and history have completely deviated from each other … What will happen next?" He had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Pushing open the door, he sat down next to jESSICA. Instantly, she opened her eyes and looked at him calmly.
"Didn't you go out with my brother and the rest yesterday? Why are you here so early today? "jESSICA smiled and sat up.
"I came to see you alone. I didn't expect you to have such a troublesome disease. I learned medicine before and wanted to check on you personally." Garon replied softly.
"You know medicine?" Jessica wanted to laugh but couldn't help coughing.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and sleep. Trust me." With a flick of his finger, an invisible gust of wind pressed down on an acupuncture point on Jessica's neck.
That was an acupuncture point that supplied blood to the brain and affected sleep. He learned it when he was practicing secret martial arts. If he used too much strength, he could kill people. If he used too little strength, he could also cure illnesses.
Almost everyone who practiced secret martial arts had to know some medical knowledge about the human body. Garon had reached the peak. He could be considered a medical master with his understanding of the human body's structure and blood flow.
Jessica yawned and seemed to feel sleepy again.
"Alright then. I'll sleep for a while. I don't know why but I suddenly feel so sleepy." She lay down again and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Garon stood up and looked around. When he didn't hear anything, he lifted Jessica's blanket.
He reached out and held Jessica's head. A trace of platinum aura slowly seeped into the back of her neck and felt the blood flow in her head.
Then he checked her heart, internal organs and other body conditions.
After a round of inspection, Garon frowned and sat down again.
"There's nothing wrong with her blood. She's just a little weak. Her organs are normal too. She's even healthier than the average person. What's going on? "
At this moment, there was a rhythmic sound of footsteps coming from outside.
Garon quickly stood up. No matter how close they were, Jessica was still Goth's girlfriend. He still had to keep a distance.
He was about to turn and leave when suddenly, a faint silver light flashed across Jessica's face.
"This is!!??" Garen was stunned on the spot. Where did he see this silver light before!!
Click.
The door of the ward opened.
Elielan, who was dressed in purple, walked in with a smile on his face.
"Eh? Mr. Garon, you're here too? "He looked at Garon's back in surprise.
