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

The continuous rain stopped, but Grimport was finally shrouded in a damp, cold gray fog.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The clinic door was pounded on with tremendous force, and Brent's voice, choked with sobs, came from the side: "Dr. Lu! Open the door!"

Lu Yuan frowned and opened the door.

Brent, soaking wet, rushed in carrying Mina, who was wrapped in a coat.

His eyes were bloodshot, like a frightened wild beast, and he almost knelt down as soon as he entered the door.

"Save her... Dr. Lu,... Mina is dying!"

Lu didn't waste any words, stepped aside, and closed the door behind him.

Brent placed Mina on the chair.

Where was the well-behaved little girl from before?

She curled up into a ball, digging her fingers into her ears so hard that her nails even broke the skin, and blood flowed down her earlobes.

Her eyes rolled back, and she kept making incoherent screams and babbling:

"Stop singing...it hurts...get away!"

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed.

He strode forward and pressed down on... Mina's wildly flailing arm.

The next moment, gray and white text instantly appeared above the girl's head:

[Observation Target: ...Mina (in a state of spiritual turmoil)]

[Status: Severe mental pollution/Auditory overload]

[Talent Analysis: Echoes of All Things. Possesses exceptionally high and uncorrupted innate inspiration, capable of hearing the whispers of different beings and locating the source of "filth" through sound.]

[Warning: Currently lacking protection, she is like a feast adrift at sea, easily attracting predators.]

"An incredible talent..."

Lu Yuan looked at the words and his gaze flickered slightly.

In this mysterious and unknown port of Grim, the survival rate would be greatly improved if there were a "being" that could provide early warnings and even locate the eerie entities.

Especially the source of the strange dreams; if Mina could help find it, the probability of being healed would greatly increase.

With this in mind, Lu Yuan gave the order to Brent, and then turned to the alchemy platform.

"Hold her down, don't let her move around."

Lu Yuan's research ability has now been activated.

The knowledge I had previously learned and encountered began to be automatically rearranged and combined in my brain, eventually leading to a completely new solution.

[Solution Generation: Targeted Spiritual Sealing Agent (Modified)]

[Principle: The tranquilizing flower soothes the brain, while mercury powder forcibly "sinks" spirituality. Combined with a high concentration of sedatives, it can forcibly seal off the user's five senses and spiritual channels.]

[Estimated success rate: 78%]

[Note: This is a customized plan and may not be suitable for everyone.]

With a success rate of nearly 80%, it was enough for Lu Yuan to give it a try. Without further hesitation, Lu Yuan took out a dried calming flower, picked up a small amount of mercury powder with his fingertips, and finally mixed it with a small half-tube of sedative.

As it was heated, the liquid inside the bottle turned a deathly dark gray.

Pharmacology: +2

As his skill experience points increased, Lu Yuan knew he had succeeded.

"Pry open her mouth."

Lu Yuan walked over, holding the bottle.

Brent calmed himself and tremblingly pried open his sister's tightly clenched teeth.

After ensuring the temperature was right, Lu Yuan poured the gray liquid into the infusion.

The effect is immediate.

In just a few short minutes, Mina's tense body went limp, her hands gripping her ears fell limply, and her rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

She fell into a deep sleep and would not be bothered by the sounds for the time being.

Brent looked at Mina, who had finally fallen asleep peacefully, and his tense nerves finally snapped. He slumped into his chair, and the fear in his eyes faded somewhat.

Lu Yuan didn't rush to speak, but slowly and methodically wiped the bottle in his hands until Brent's breathing calmed down a bit before he spoke:

"This medicine will only put her to sleep. If the root cause isn't addressed when she wakes up, she'll be in even more pain than she is now."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan turned to look at Brent: "The medicine I gave you last time should have kept the condition under control for a while. Why did it suddenly flare up so badly this time? What happened?"

Brent froze, not answering Lu Yuan's question about his condition.

Instead, he remained silent for a long time, then got up and knelt down, his forehead hitting the floor heavily with a dull thud.

"Dr. Lu! Please let Mina stay! I beg you!"

He looked up, his eyes red, and pleaded incoherently, "Let her be your servant, or a cleaner! Just let her stay in the clinic, don't let her kick me out!"

Lu Yuan frowned. Brent's mental state was very strange. How could he have changed from a clever child to this state in just a few days?

However, Lu Yuan, seeing the terrified boy before him, still spoke.

"I think you should make it clear that this is a clinic, not a place to bring children."

"Besides, if you're worried about her situation, I can prescribe some medicine for you to take back with you. Why do you have to leave her here?"

"I can't take it back... I can't go back..."

Brent looked up, his eyes filled with despair. "If we take Mina back, she'll be kidnapped! Just like... just like little Tom next door!"

"Arrested?" Lu Yuan keenly caught the key phrase. "Who arrested them?"

"No, it's the church...it's that group of priests!"

Brent swallowed hard, his voice instinctively lowering:

"These past few days, that group from the church has been wandering around the docks and slums, saying they're looking for children who are 'favored by angels' to take back to the church to enjoy blessings."

"That's why I've never dared to take Mina out."

At this point, Brent's voice carried a hint of relief.

"Just yesterday afternoon, the church priest found the low-rent apartment building downstairs."

"They were carrying a Bible, and that book was very strange! It would glow red when it got close to certain children."

"At the time, only Mina and Little Tom from next door were nearby! But that book just lit up!"

"I was terrified. While they were still upstairs, I grabbed Mina and jumped out of the back window... If we hadn't run, I was afraid Mina would have been taken away too..."

"Dr. Lu, this is my only family member... Please help me, okay?"

Brent's voice was full of pleading, and his eyes were filled with fear.

"Only here... Dr. Lu, you're with the Night Watch, this area is Night Watch territory! Even the church wouldn't dare barge into a Night Watch clinic to search for people!"

After listening, Lu Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a knowing look flashing in his eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

Mina had just awakened her talent after the shock of her uncle's death, and the church people had already caught wind of it and came looking for her.

That glowing Bible was clearly an alchemical artifact used to find gifted children like Mina.

The so-called "angelic favor" is nothing more than an excuse to cover up their abduction of children.

However, this still aligns with my impression of the church.

A bunch of heartless bastards.

This also explains why Brent, like a frightened bird, wanted to get his sister into the clinic.

He had no one to rely on in the slums, and faced with such a behemoth, his only way to survive was to find a stronger backer.

Lu Yuan is that powerful backer now; he may not be the strongest, but he is definitely the biggest Brent can find.

Most importantly, accepting...Mina would be helpful to both himself and the Night's Watch.

It also gives those people in the church a reason to be disgusted, so why not?
