I'm building Gundams in America

Chapter 84: An Undercover Agent in the Dark Court (First Update, Seeking Subscriptions)

Undercover police officer.

Wayne felt a chill run down his spine.

I didn't expect it to come so soon.

Wayne understood that his medical practice, which used exorcisms by mediums as a cover, would inevitably attract attention and eventually be targeted.

The United States has some of the strictest regulations on tax evasion and practicing medicine without a license.

The neighborhood where he is now is historically home to many traditional Chinese medicine clinics, but most of them were shut down for practicing medicine illegally.

Now, these former traditional Chinese medicine clinics, if they don't have a license, can only offer auxiliary treatments such as acupuncture and massage.

Moreover, even in ordinary small clinics, without a licensed doctor, they would never dare to prescribe medications for patients; at most, they would direct people to certain pharmacies to buy certain drugs.

Wayne previously reported Steve for two things: tax evasion and practicing medicine without a license.

Steve has already been shot dead by tax police, but he himself has been reported for practicing medicine without a license.

It was that Officer Jimmy again who did it.

He simply didn't know who this person was, or when he had been targeted.

But that's not important.

He had taken this into consideration when he chose the profession of witch doctor.

Now, aside from the antibiotics and allicin in the milk, this is a genuine exorcism.

He calmly said to the young woman in front of him, "Tell me your symptoms."

Eileen was taken aback; she was somewhat surprised when she saw Wayne.

When she received her superior's order to go undercover in this neighborhood, she initially thought that the person illegally practicing medicine on the street under the guise of "exorcising evil spirits" would be an old man or woman.

After all, it's said that this is some kind of voodoo medium.

Those who usually engage in this kind of thing are so-called witch doctors who have been smuggled in from South America.

But to her surprise, when she entered the tent, she saw a young white man with black hair and black eyes.

Moreover, it vaguely seemed somewhat familiar to her.

Upon hearing the question, Eileen quickly coughed and said, "Sir, — cough cough — I have a bit of a cold and I keep coughing — it must be because I got caught in the rain — cough cough — I have a job interview coming up, and I need to get better as soon as possible — cough cough — could you give me some — some kind of magic potion?"

The practice of police sting operations in the United States, also known as "police traps," is a long-standing tradition.

Eileen's words were also a form of inducement.

As she spoke, Eileen took out three hundred dollars in cash, tried to be respectful, and placed it into the pile of voodoo bones in front of Wayne, while bowing her head.

These procedures were explained to her by the old man standing outside the tent before she entered.

This is an offering to the medium before me.

Then she felt a warm hand placed on her head.

Wayne placed his hand on Eileen's head and instantly felt as if he were being watched.

It's a listening device.

【Lick of the Tongue】 was activated suddenly, immediately blocking the opponent's eavesdropping lines.

One of the benefits of becoming a formal Bronze Lord is that you can project the various powers of your Sanctuary onto the outside through your body.

Including the [Light of Purification].

If he wanted, he could use his palm to induce withdrawal symptoms in an addict at any time.

Wayne then said calmly, "No, my child, your description of symptoms is incorrect. You don't have a cold, and your lungs are as strong as a calf's—but you should get some sleep. However, even painkillers can't ward off that damn headache, can they?"

Wayne's words were as gentle as a flowing spring, but to Eileen they sounded like a bomb exploding suddenly!

How did the other person know that she had insomnia and neuralgia?

But then she found a reason to convince herself.

Many of my peers, including many colleagues, suffer from insomnia, mainly due to the immense pressure of their work.

Since the other party is an unlicensed street doctor, he's encountered people from all walks of life, so it's not surprising that he could guess this.

The unlicensed street doctor continued, "The reason you have these symptoms is mainly because your body is weak from selling blood for a long time during university. Poor kid, I imagine the cost of textbooks and student loans must have been very high—"

"But your father has sacrificed himself for this country, and his daughter shouldn't have to endure this kind of life. It's just not fair—"

Eileen looked up abruptly, her blue eyes filled with disbelief, and said, "You—"

How could this unlicensed street doctor know about her father's affairs—her selling her blood to buy textbooks and pay off her student loans during college?!

She had just slightly raised her head when she felt a force from the other person's hand pressing her head down again.

"Don't move, Eileen."

The other person easily said her name!

Eileen felt a sudden sense of unease, and a number of things came to mind.

She had always known about corruption within the police force, with some of her colleagues becoming corrupt cops, and several people being arrested and imprisoned every year as a result.

It seems she herself has encountered this situation.

If she were a fellow police officer, obtaining her information would be very easy. This unlicensed doctor on the street must have bribed someone within the Seattle Police Department to learn about her undercover operation and find out her information.

That's why the other party knew her personal information so well, and then used it as bait to brainwash her!

This move was indeed impressive, but she had already solved many cases since becoming a police officer, and she had always admired her father since childhood. Therefore, her willpower was always very strong, and her mind was clear and quick.

Naturally, one will not be deceived by the other party.

The things that this quack doctor named Wayne did only made Eileen more certain that her undercover operation was worthwhile, and that it might even lure out the big fish behind him, those bad apples hiding in the police station!

if only----

Just as Eileen's mind was racing, she suddenly felt a warm current flow from the other person's palm, into her brain and spine!

It was an extremely comfortable feeling, as if the whole body was soaking in a hot spring, with every limb and bone completely relaxed, and as if the pleasure in the brain had reached a gentle peak.

Eileen couldn't help but let out a groan.

Then she felt that the nerve pain that had been accompanying her, that cold, stabbing pain from her spine that felt like a maggot clinging to her bones, suddenly disappeared!

Even though she takes four painkillers every day, it doesn't seem to have much effect.

She even considered getting prescription medications like OxyContin.

But now, that feeling has completely disappeared.

The cold, aching pain in my lower abdomen, the feeling as if there was a block of ice inside my uterus, also disappeared without a trace.

All that's left is a warm and cozy feeling.

It was as if the solid ice inside had been completely melted away, leaving behind a ball of holy light.

"God—" Eileen murmured, her body involuntarily collapsing to her knees before Wayne.

She had become accustomed to living with pain for many years, and now that she was suddenly free, she felt weak and sore all over.

Then she suddenly felt the hand that was on her head being pulled back.

"No, please—"

Eileen instinctively looked up, wanting to touch that hand and let herself be enveloped in that warmth again.

She was greeted by Wayne's gentle gaze.

At this moment, Eileen had even temporarily forgotten her undercover mission, only feeling the ecstatic joy and gratitude of having her years of illness cured. She said in a trembling voice, "Sir, thank you—I never thought this could be cured—the doctors at the hospital only prescribed painkillers—"

Wayne said calmly, "Eileen, good girl, there was never any healing. I simply exorcised the evil spirit from your body—tell me, do you know that officer named Jimmy? How many police officers are outside right now?"
