People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"The most urgent thing now is to figure out how to announce this news tomorrow, as well as the subsequent response strategy and the search plan for Kal'tsit. Ascalon just mentioned the shadow, and what you saw was Kal'tsit being dragged into the shadow."

"Yes, I saw it clearly. There was something like a tentacle in the shadows that dragged Kal'tsit in."

Ascalon looked a little ferocious.

This feeling of powerlessness, this feeling of having the power but being unable to change things!

This reminded Ascalon of that powerless day a year ago.

A year ago, Theresa was also suddenly attacked, and the assassination master who followed her was transferred away by a strange order, and had no way to protect the pure white king. After her death, Askalon did not even protect her body.

Elite operator Logos held his exquisite bone pen in his hand. The heir of the Banshee Court was now in a state of full concentration, frantically searching his mind for all possible spells and witchcraft that might be related to shadows.

Can drag people into the shadows...

It seems that the Whiplash have similar methods. No, they are not dragging humans into shadows, shadows, shadows. There seems to be no Sarkaz among the Sarkaz that can control shadows.

So, other races? But that's too broad a scope, and Rhodes Island currently has no conflicts with any race or country other than the Sarkaz, so who could it be?

Just as Ascalon, Logos and the others were still thinking about how Kal'tsit achieved the effect of being dragged into the shadow, their hearts suddenly jumped. A bad premonition filled their minds, making them immediately step back and away from the center of the room.

Amiya, who noticed the actions of Logos and the others, suddenly felt a jump in her heart. The young demon king sensed a sense of danger, and the center of this sense of danger was exactly where Logos and Ascalon had stayed away from.

As expected by everyone, when they avoided the source of that feeling, a black shadow suddenly appeared right in the center of the office, and something was wriggling inside it.

A black shadow suddenly appeared, and this shadow made Mon3tr fall into an extremely anxious state, because he remembered, because he knew that Kal'tsit was abducted by this shadow.

A threatening growl came from Mon3tr's mouth. Looking at Mon3tr's expression and Askalon who was also on guard, everyone present knew that the shadowy figure was probably the culprit who kidnapped Kal'tsit.

Amiya stood up from the sofa and looked at the shadow vigilantly. The power from the Demon King was quietly activated, and she felt a huge malice from the shadow.

The malice had no direction and did not seem to be directed at anyone, or perhaps it should be said that the malice was directed at everything around it.

The ancient pen in Logos' hand had begun to write some strange words in the air, and black lines began to spread around Amiya's fingers. Everyone was ready to fight.

However, just when they were ready to deal with it, the shadow's movements suddenly became more intense, making them even more alert. The shadow's movements were as if something was about to come out of it.

Could it be some mysterious shadow assassin or shadow monster?

Logos' eyes were fixed on the center of the shadow, where the rolling ripples were the most violent. It was always the thing inside the shadow that should come out from there.

The banshee's spell was ready, and a blue and white beam of light resembling lightning wrapped around the tip of the bone pen.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew out from the rolling shadows. At that moment, all nerves were stretched to the limit. Logos even stretched out his bone pen and drew a zigzag mark in the air.

Flying knives, magic bullets, lightning, all kinds of attacks rushed towards the black shadow. However, just as Mon3tr was waiting for the other side to come over and teach them a painful lesson with his sharp claws, his eyes that could hardly see anything else suddenly caught sight of the man flying in the air, wearing a green coat and short snow-silver hair.

"Roar!!!!"

The sudden roar shocked everyone, but the attack that had already been launched could not be reversed.

Mon3tr used all his speed to catch up with the attacks launched by the others in an instant. His huge body blocked all the attacks. Even the powerful spells of the heir of the Banshee Court did not leave even the slightest trace on this black crystal monster.

"Mon3tr?"

Amiya looked at Mon3tr in amazement as he blocked the damage for the shadow, and then she immediately understood something.

"Everyone, don't attack, stop it!"

The others were not fools either. When they saw Mon3tr's reaction, they understood what was going on.

The sound of crackling footsteps was heard and everyone gathered around.

However, just when people were about to speak, Mon3tr growled twice and immediately shut them up.

Then Mon3tr carefully turned around and coiled his huge and long body into a circle to protect the person who flew out from the shadow.

"Sure enough, it's Dr. Kelsey."

Amiya looked at Kal'tsit lying on the ground, and after she breathed a sigh of relief, the originally gloomy expression on her face was immediately replaced by a smile.

Great, great! Dr. Kel'tsit was fine. At least from the outside, there were no external injuries.

"Mon3tr asked me to come and show her."

Warfarin approached at this time with a medical kit slung across his body, and Mon3tr nodded and slightly relaxed his body, allowing Warfarin to enter the circle he had created.

"There are no external injuries on the body, but she's unconscious. Mon3tr, help me get Kal'tsit to the intensive care unit..."

"No need, Warfarin."

The familiar, slightly cold voice reached Huafalin's ears.

Doctor Blood Demon turned around in surprise and saw that Kal'tsit had sat up with her hand on her forehead.

"Are you okay? Do you want to get another checkup?"

"It's okay. I know my body well. I'm just a little tired. The mental strain has made it even more exhausting... Fatigue?"

Kal'tsit suddenly looked at her hands in surprise.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing Kal'tsit's puzzled and slightly solemn expression, everyone became nervous.

"Dr. Kelsey, why don't you have Dr. Warfarin give you a full examination? I'll be with you."

Amiya walked forward and held Kal'tsit's hand. Her aqua-blue eyes, like the sea and the sky, were filled with worry and fear, as well as joy of regaining what she had lost.

"...Ah, in this situation, a comprehensive inspection is indeed the most intuitive approach."

Kal'tsit stared at her palm and muttered to herself. Everyone present was immersed in the joy of Kal'tsit's return, except Mon3tr, who looked at Kal'tsit and uttered a puzzled murmur.

The monster's gaze was fixed on the strange necklace around Kal'tsit's neck. It was an octagonal stone held together by a simple rope, with a carving of a Pelion being adopted by a beast on it.

When Kelsey was kidnapped...was this thing on her?

Chapter 41 Who are you?

It was midnight, but Rhodes Island's medical department was still busy.

According to the normal hospital shift system, it should be the quiet night shift, but in Rhodes Island, medical operators are still coming and going in the corridors with patients' diagnosis reports and medication rations. However, this busyness has not caused any complaints from the doctors and nurses. For them in Rhodes Island, overtime is already a normal thing. After all, as a medical and pharmaceutical company, and a medical and pharmaceutical company that also accommodates patients with mineral disease, there are many emergencies at night.

But today, there is a very special emergency patient.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've given you a physical examination in all the years we've been working together."

Under Mon3tr's strict surveillance, Warfarin was threatened and forced to retreat by Mon3tr after drawing only one tube of Kal'tsit's blood. For this unscrupulous blood demon, no level of vigilance was excessive. After all, he was the one who dared to use 250 times the dose of Mongolian and Chinese medicine to stun the deep-sea hunter and draw blood. Mon3tr felt that he needed to supervise the entire physical examination process.

There are many items in the physical examination, but most of the indicators are in the routine blood test. When Warfarin took the blood sample and the urine sample collected previously to be tested, the remaining electrocardiogram, blood pressure and other indicators were handed over to Yaye, who is Kal'tsit's student.

"Then, Teacher Kal'tsit, please take off your clothes on your chest."

The rustling sound of undressing stopped, and Yaye carefully placed the electrodes on Kal'tsit's chest and waist, and then began to adjust the parameters.

"I never thought that one day I would be doing a physical examination for you, teacher."

Yaye felt a bit dazed when she said this.

Normally, Kal'tsit is responsible for all her own examinations and physical data. It is said that even Dr. Warfarin, who has worked with Dr. Kal'tsit for a long time, has never helped Kal'tsit with physical examinations.

"That guy treats his own medical examination data as if it were red gold. He doesn't allow us to participate at all. He destroys it immediately after each operation, without even needing a safe."

These were the exact words that Dr. Kal'tsit said when I consulted Dr. Warfarin. It seemed that for some reason, Dr. Kal'tsit was always unwilling to have others perform a physical examination on her.

"This situation is special, and I can't be stubborn."

I feel that Dr. Kal'tsit has become much more concise. In the past, whenever she asked questions, she would always give long speeches. I remember Miss Amiya once complained to me about this problem, and Dr. Warfarin said that you just have to get used to it.

It is rare to be able to express the answer clearly in twenty words.

The physical examination continued. In addition to the electrocardiogram, blood pressure, chest X-ray, abdominal ultrasound, female ultrasound and even ENT examination were all included. The last test was the Originium infection test.

When all the results came out, Huafalin and Yaye's expressions were very strange, even weird.

Amiya was also there. Although Kal'tsit asked her to rest, the little rabbit rarely disobeyed Kal'tsit's request this time. The little rabbit's worried look also made Kal'tsit feel uncomfortable to say anything else. Forget it, just let her do what she wants this time.

After packing her clothes, Kal'tsit returned to the medical office and raised her eyebrows at her students and Warfarin who were looking at her physical examination report with a strange expression.

"What? Is there something wrong?"

After hearing what Kal'tsit said, Warfarin's expression became even weirder.

"No, how should I put it..."

Warfarin hesitated to speak, while Amiya was bewildered as she looked at the parameters on the reports in Warfarin's hand. She could understand little rabbits like RBD, HB, and WBC. Kal'tsit had taught her some basic medicine in normal times, but things like MCH, MCHC, RDW-CV, and RDW-SV looked familiar to her. She seemed to have seen them somewhere, but she had forgotten.

"show me."

Kal'tsit took her report and frowned after taking a quick look at it.

"Do you see the problem?"

Warfarin's face was serious, and Amiya's ears shrank. In her memory, she had only seen Dr. Warfarin so serious a few times, but every time she saw him, it meant that things had entered a very serious stage.

"So, Dr. Kel'tsit's medical report..."

Amiya no longer looked at the two elders with serious expressions, but turned her gaze to another doctor present, Dr. Kal'tsit's student, Yaye, who was only five years older than her.

"Teacher Kal'tsit... uh, too healthy."

"Ugh?"

Yaye's answer caught Amiya off guard.

Too...healthy?

“Isn’t being healthy a good thing?”

There were several question marks floating over the little rabbit's head. Although he had studied basic medicine with Kal'tsit, his progress was not fast because there were many other things he needed to learn. He did not have a solid grasp of some medical knowledge. So compared to Yaye, who not only studied longer than him but also specialized in medicine, Amiya did not understand some of the concepts that Yaye knew.

"Simply put, human health can be categorized into three levels: healthy, sub-healthy, and diseased. Both health and disease are easy to understand, but sub-health is the intermediate state between the two. A common understanding is that health is a state of complete health, with no ailments whatsoever, the healthiest state imaginable. Disease, on the other hand, is simply illness. Whether you have a terminal illness like cancer, mineralocorticoids, or a minor ailment like a cold and runny nose, as long as you're ill, you'll be classified as sub-healthy."

Huafalin looked at Amiya and began to explain the terms involved to the little leader.

"According to normal understanding, the human body should only have two states: healthy and diseased, just like a diode."

"But that's not the case. This is also the result of research that has emerged over the past decade or so. Even if some people are diagnosed as not having any illness, their condition cannot be classified as healthy. Compared to the standards of normal healthy individuals, they may experience decreased vitality, reduced function and adaptability, and so on. Later, for the sake of rigor, about 17 years ago, the Great Yan Medical Association teamed up with the Victorian Medical Assurance Society and medical organizations in other countries to issue a joint research statement, redefining the state of sub-health between health and disease. It is defined as physical fatigue, weakness, general discomfort, decreased function, etc., caused by unknown reasons or excluding disease."

"And if we use this definition, then practically no one on Terra can be categorized as healthy anymore. Almost 70 percent of people are only in sub-health."

The three of them explained the problem to Amiya one by one.

"So, Dr. Kelsey is now..."

"Pretty standard health, if you ignore the Originium infection indicators... Hey, Kal'tsit, you always record the data when you give yourself a physical examination, right? Do you remember the level of your Originium infection last time?"

"The fusion rate of somatic cells and Originium is 3.4%, and the density of blood Originium crystals is 0.12uL."

Kal'tsit did not hide this. If it were in the past, she might not have said it, but it was different now.

What exactly happened? Suddenly, the hug that Fang Ark gave her at that time appeared in Kal'tsit's mind.

When being hugged, that person channeled a mysterious power into his body. At that moment, he felt an unprecedented relaxation, both physically and mentally, and also the stone he was wearing around his neck.

Now, in my report, several indicators that had shown serious problems in the last test have now returned to normal range, and there is no trace of the impact of amphetamine on the body.

Could it be that...

"And now, the fusion rate of your body cells and Originium has dropped to 3.1%, but the density of Originium crystals in your blood has dropped to 0.08uL. In other words, Kal'tsit, your Oreopathy has improved beyond imagination."

Only then did Amiya realize the importance of the matter.

Normally, the indicator of improvement of oripathy is reflected in the blood Originium crystal density. Its previous indicator, the fusion rate of somatic cells and Originium, can remain stable if receiving good treatment. If the condition worsens, this indicator will rise. However, from the recorded records of oripathy treatment, as long as the patient is infected with oripathy, this indicator has never dropped. And now this situation has appeared in Kal'tsit.

"Kelsey, what exactly did you go through at that time?"

Warfarin looked at Kal'tsit seriously, and Kal'tsit remembered what that person had asked of her.

"Kal'tsit, your coming here is an accident. I hope you can keep it a secret."

"That person really gave me a difficult problem."

At this time, because Amiya probably won't get much sleep tonight, Fang Zhou can only postpone what he needs to do to tomorrow night. He is currently integrating the snow forest outside the camp and staring at the psychedelic figure in front of him.

"Were you the one spying on us this morning?"

Fang Zhou looked at the guy in front of him sharply. That psychedelic fog was... an electronic cloud? The high density of electrons interfered with Yak's scanning, making it impossible to see what was beneath the electronic fog.

And it's not just the electronic cloud, there is also a layer of mental barrier inside that thing, which is so solid that it can block one's own perception spells, and the soul perception of the sheep talisman has also been cut off.

Weird and strange, whether it was the electronic mist or the mental barrier, this method of blocking perception was as if it was specifically aimed at himself. The former blocked Fang Zhou's Cullen perception, and the latter was a black magic perception method specifically aimed at him.

There was no answer to Fang Ark's question. Fang Ark could only feel that he was looking at him. The emotions contained in his gaze were very complicated, but the most noticeable one was probably the indescribable anger and hostility.

This guy is undoubtedly an enemy.
