I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

After thinking for a while without coming up with a solution, Lu Yuan simply stopped thinking about it.

Now that things have come to this, we can only hope that nothing bad has happened to the doctor in the outer city.

Lu Yuan glanced at Mina, who was still unconscious, and then at the pale sky outside the window, and decided to rest for a while.

He was too exhausted tonight and needs to recover.

Finding a relatively quiet spot in a corner of the library, Lu Yuan leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

A wave of fatigue washed over me, and my consciousness began to fade.

The dream has come true once again.

But this time, it's different from before.

There was no black ocean, nor that desolate island.

There was only emptiness.

Lu Yuan's consciousness floated in this empty world, surrounded by endless darkness, completely losing his sense of space.

Just as Lu Yuan was trying to move around and figure out where he was, he suddenly noticed a light in the distance.

It was a constantly changing color, like a rainbow coalescing into a cluster, but more mysterious and dreamlike than a rainbow.

Deep blue, dark purple, ghostly gold... colors that shouldn't exist together intertwine, constantly twisting and recombinating.

Lu Yuan couldn't make out the shape of the colored mass, but he could feel something surging inside.

It's as if something is trying to convey a message.

The colors twisted more and more violently, eventually coalescing to form two words.

"Danger!"

Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, before he could figure out what had happened.

At the edge of my field of vision, gray and white text danced silently:

[Rationality III: +10, 32.2/70]

Lu Yuan stared at the number, his expression grave.

ten o'clock.

Yi Meng only adds five points every night, but this time it's doubled.

What have I seen this time? I just sent Yi Meng away, when did another one appear?

He recalled the strange colors in his dream, and the two words that finally coalesced into them.

Danger.

A feeling of unease welled up inside me.

"woke up?"

Old Morgan's voice came from the side.

Lu Yuan turned his head and found old Morgan standing not far away, his face much uglier than before he left.

"Meeting room, start the meeting." Old Morgan's voice was weary. "Hans is already waiting."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy.

Hans stood by the table, his face ashen, blood seeping from the bandage on his left arm, clearly the wound had reopened.

Old Morgan sat in the main seat, holding a pipe but not lighting it.

Lu Yuan walked in and sat down beside him.

"Speak," old Morgan said.

Hans was silent for a moment, then sighed: "The doctors in the outer city... are all dead."

Lu Yuan frowned.

“Not a single one was left alive,” Hans continued. “Some died in the clinic, some on the roadside. The methods of death varied, but they were all swift and decisive, clearly murdered.”

Morgan nodded, showing little surprise; clearly, he was already mentally prepared.

"I've already arranged for people to handle things in the inner city," old Morgan said, holding the report. "Torches are being replenished in the areas where the lights were damaged, and the bodies are being burned. The lockdown order has been issued, so there shouldn't be any major problems for the time being."

He paused, his tone becoming even more somber: "But I just received news that the church has suffered heavy losses."

"Besides us Night's Watchmen, the Church is the place most severely impacted." Old Morgan wearily rubbed his temples. "The Holy Armored Army stationed there suffered heavy casualties, and several priests are seriously injured and unable to carry out their missions for the time being."

"And those nuns and priests..." he sighed, "They were deliberately targeted, and because they didn't have many ways to protect themselves, a large number of them died."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan realized the seriousness of the situation and asked, "So... ninety percent of the doctors in Grimport are dead?"

Morgan nodded.

"Perhaps more, all the doctors in the inner city have disappeared, all the doctors in the outer city are dead, and the clergy of the church have also suffered heavy casualties."

He looked at Lu Yuan, his voice heavy: "Right now, in the entire Grimport, the only doctors we can count on... the church has only a few operational ones left, and if you include private doctors, there are at most ten people."

"That includes you, of course."

Lu Yuan remained silent.

With tens of thousands of people in Grimham, how can a dozen or so doctors be relied upon?

If there is a plague or injuries... but judging from the news, there doesn't seem to be much need for doctors, since most people just die.

"The Deep Sea Church's goal is very clear." Old Morgan's voice interrupted Lu Yuan's thoughts, filled with suppressed anger. "They've been keeping an eye on the doctor from the beginning, aiming to completely paralyze Grim Harbor."

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "Right now, we need to take care of the wounded. We also need to mobilize the available clergy from the church in advance, and the doctors from the base have also joined the rescue efforts."

"Patrols outside the city should also be strengthened to prevent any disturbances caused by the chaos." He looked at Hans, "Go and make the arrangements."

Hans nodded and turned to leave.

After Hans left, old Morgan called Lu Yuan back.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"What?"

"That girl, Mina," old Morgan said, "take advantage of the opportunity while you still can and send her to the Night's Watch headquarters."

Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, then understood what old Morgan meant.

"Grimport is too chaotic; it's not suitable for someone with her talent to develop," old Morgan continued. "Headquarters has better resources and mentors who can help her control that ability."

"Ink will come along, and Brent will go too. He can take care of Mina. Alice is going to headquarters to report on the situation, so we can escort her. Of course, we'll have to ask for your opinion on that."

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and nodded: "No problem, I'll go talk to her."

He readily agreed because Mina really couldn't be of much help right now; even hiding in the underground library, she would still be affected by the outside world.

Most importantly, Grim Port is dangerous, and if things don't go well, I might have to retreat early.

Mina was already awake in the library.

She was in better condition than last night, but her face was still pale and she had heavy dark circles under her eyes.

Brent stood guard nearby, ink floating in mid-air, staring with his beady eyes at the even larger number of orbs of light around him, looking rather stuffed.

Old Morgan followed Lu Yuan in, stood at the door without going forward, and simply nodded to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan walked up to Mina, squatted down, and briefly explained what he had just discussed with old Morgan.

They went to the Night's Watch headquarters, where there were better resources and mentors who could help her control her talent. Ink and Brent accompanied her, with Alice providing escort.

After listening, Mina fell silent.

"I don't want to leave," she said softly, looking up at Lu Yuan. "I want to stay and help you."

Lu Yuan shook his head, his tone resolute: "No."

"Grimport is too dangerous now, and you can't control your talent. Staying here will only get you drowned out by those voices."

"He's right," the ink floated over, "This place isn't suitable for you, it's too noisy."

Mina bit her lip and didn't say anything.

Brent hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Dr. Lu...can I stay?"

Lu Yuan looked at him.

"I...I want to help." Brent's voice was a little nervous. "Ever since you took me in, I've been hiding in the base and haven't done anything..."

"Your task is to take care of Mina," Lu Yuan interrupted him, his tone calm but unquestionable. "She needs you."

He looked at Mina: "Do you want your brother away from you?"

Mina paused for a moment, then instinctively looked at Brent.

Brent looked at her, his eyes filled with apology.

"Go to headquarters and study hard." Lu Yuan's tone softened a bit. "When you become stronger and can control your talent, come back and help me."

"Besides, didn't you want to save patients like your uncle? Only by going there will you have a chance."

Mina remained silent for a long time before finally nodding gently.

Old Morgan then stepped forward: "I've already arranged the carriage and escorts. Alice is going to headquarters to report on the situation, so you can go with her."

Clearly, he had anticipated that Lu Yuan would agree and had made preparations in advance.

It didn't take long to pack my things.

Mina and Brent didn't have much luggage to begin with, and Ink didn't need to bring anything at all.

Before leaving, the ink floated in front of Lu Yuan.

"etc."

Her body was slightly contorted, as if she were performing some difficult movement.

Then, she vomited up a book.

It was a very thin book with a yellowed cover and some curled edges, but it was well preserved, as if it had been treasured for a long time.

"This is from my collection." Ink's voice carried a rare seriousness. "I know you have a high aptitude for reason, so this book is perfect for you."

Lu Yuan took the book, and the moment his fingers touched the pages, he could feel the faint scent of ink lingering on them.

The text on the cover was in an ancient imperial language, and he could barely make out a few words: "Guide to the Path of Knowledge".

"I was planning to give it to you later." Ink's voice lowered, and his beady eyes showed a rare seriousness. "But I have to go."

She paused, then added, "Remember to check frequently and take good care of yourself."

Lu Yuan looked at the book in his hand, didn't say anything pretentious, and simply nodded: "Thanks."

The ink turned its head away and floated towards the door: "Waiting for you in the main city."

The horse-drawn carriage stopped at the entrance of the base.

Alice was already waiting, fully armed, her warhammer gleaming.

Mina and Brent got into the carriage.

Mina leaned out of the car window and whispered, "Dr. Lu...take care."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Go and study hard, don't cause any trouble for Mo Shui."

Ink's voice came from inside the carriage: "She won't cause me any trouble. A little noise is fine too."

Brent also poked his head in from the side: "Dr. Lu, I will take good care of my sister."

"Yes! When you get there, the Night's Watch will take care of everything."

"Yes, but with Sister Ink around, I probably won't be needed."

Brent scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"What else?"

Ink rubbed his stomach, looking completely unfazed.

Mina couldn't help but smile as she looked at the ink-stained watch.

After counting the people in the group and their belongings, Alice waved and drove away.

The carriage gradually drove away and disappeared at the end of the street.

Lu Yuan stood at the door, watching them leave.
