I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

Jaden pointed to his smooth chest for the two of them to see.

"I feel like I have unlimited energy! It's amazing! Doctor! You're incredible! I don't know how to thank you enough!"

"Your good health is the best way to thank me."

As they had learned, the doctor did not ask for anything in return.

"So, you two, what kind of help do you need?"

Although there were two doctors, they were only staring at the daytime.

Rams did not speak.

He rarely acts on his own initiative; he usually follows orders from others. He used to be Master, then Jaden, and now, for the time being, Daylight.

"No need to trouble you. But if it's alright, could we stay the night?"

"We will remain quiet and will not disturb you."

Because of the doctor's treatment, Jaden was in a state of heightened emotion and was not suitable to talk to the doctor, so Bai Zhou had to do it himself.

"Of course I grant your request. But... noble soul..."

The doctor exclaimed in admiration as it spread its wings into the daylight.

"Would you be willing to join me and become my first apostle?"

"..."

An eerie silence fell over the room.

Jaden was dragged aside by Rams, who pressed his head down, covered his mouth, and pulled him aside to prevent the idiot, who had suddenly become so enthusiastic, from saying something wrong.

"Heaven will not allow... that ugly crow..."

"apostle?"

Bai Zhou suppressed the restless Tian Sha and looked at the doctor with doubt.

"This world has been eroded by disease."

“Those who are afflicted with this calamity are despised by all living beings and hated by their own blood relatives.”

"The living avoid it as they would avoid death, and the dead cannot rest in peace upon seeing it."

“And it treated me like an enemy, and I treated it the same way.”

"I will build my sanctuary on this rock. Not even death can move it."

“My disciples, those whom I bless, once you follow in my footsteps and find me, it means you have turned away from the evil path. On that day, I will descend upon the earth where you live, and I will forgive your sins.”

"I will save you from the end of the world, believe me."

The doctor's voice was calm and composed, yet Bai Zhou could hear the undisguised enthusiasm and sincerity in it.

"Savior."

During the day, he learned the identity the other party believed to be.

It's not a problem for someone who possesses the ability to cure all diseases and suffering to consider themselves a savior.

Terra is now tainted by Originium and war, and all living beings in Terra suffer from these two ailments.

Saving the world—the doctor's ambition is grand.

Unfortunately, we were on different paths.

"I'm sorry, but I've already given myself to someone else, and there's no room for another."

"in this way……"

Despite being rejected, the doctor, who had spoken with such fervor, showed no emotional reaction.

"No need to refuse, we will meet again eventually."

He has high hopes for daytime.

"All beings are in a sea of ​​suffering, but the echoes of our souls will guide us to meet."

The doctor remained silent, turned his back to the three people, and went to the window to do his own thing.

"A strange person... or perhaps not even human."

During the day, Bai looked at Rams, and the tall, strong man understood and carried Jetton to a corner of the room to rest.

"He can see my soul."

During the day, he sat cross-legged in another corner, speculating about the doctor's background.

[For those on the same path, some information about this "creature" has been updated and is being displayed to you.]

Name: ■■

Age: ■■

Gender: none

Origin: A creature that descended upon this place due to some kind of "disease." It has a noble goal and is willing to act to "save the world."

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Ability: Violet Baptism (Blessing)

This is all that's visible.

Was it because he proactively revealed his purpose that he was able to see these things?

Baiyue's gaze fell on the last line.

The Baptism of Violet

Was that the thing he used to treat Jetton and the villagers who contracted the disease?

Baptism and the First Apostle

These things... are so strange.

It's best to stay away from this doctor.

Return to the cursed town

As the night wind rose, the old doors and windows rattled with a sickening sound.

Jaden had regained his composure and keenly realized that something was wrong with him. Recalling his previous foolish behavior, his face grew increasingly grim, and feeling uneasy, he obediently huddled in a corner.

Rams was next to him, the big guy standing between Jaden and the doctor, blocking Jaden's view.

During the day, he sat cross-legged in the corner in front of them, resting with his eyes closed. Tian Sha, as an extension of his vision, kept a close eye on the doctor.

The doctor stood alone by the window, neither speaking nor moving, so quiet that even his breathing could not be heard.

"..."

As dawn broke and the wind subsided, the doctor finally began to move.

He pushed open the door and left alone.

"..."

Bai Zhou opened his eyes, slowly rose, and Tian Sha transformed into armor, awaiting battle.

"boss?"

Jaden, who had been in a light sleep, shuddered and woke up with a start. Seeing Bai Zhou in this state, he immediately went on high alert.

"The doctor has disappeared..."

He nudged Rams to wake him, then tiptoed over to Daylight's side.

"He went out."

During the day, when the window is opened, the black-clad doctor is greeting some early-rising villagers.

"..."

"It seems he's planning to leave this village?"

The people around the doctor all looked reluctant to see him go.

"leave?"

Jaden turned around and waved to Rams.

"Boss, shouldn't we be going too?"

"Correct."

As he looked away during the day, a young Rupert came into view.

It was that young man named Ximen.

He knelt before the doctor, tears streaming down his face, as if pleading for something.

“Ximen. All living beings are in a state of suffering, their souls are confused and helpless. Only you can see the way forward and are willing to seek the right solution.”

The doctor spread his large wings, concealing young Rupert. The violet petals, which had been faintly visible yesterday, reappeared.

“I have chosen you as my first apostle. I will build my sanctuary on this rock. Not even death can disturb it.”

The doctor's voice wasn't loud, but it could be heard clearly even inside the room.

"he……"

A bell rang.

It is unknown where it comes from, yet people can hear it.

"apostle……"

I saw it in the daytime.

Behind the doctor, there appears to be an old, gray clock.
