Alex woke up to find himself lying on a big bed.
The bedsheets were pure white, the ceiling was white as well. There was also a woman
in pure white clothes in the room.
âWhere am I?â
âWhere are my clothes?â
Alex wanted to sit up, but he realized that his head was hurting really badly and his
body felt strange.
Just then, a hand was placed on his forehead, pushing him back down onto the bed
with force. âStop moving.â
The woman in white was the female doctor named Nanami. She was wearing a white
doctorâs robe, a white cap and a pair of white shoes. Her skin was as white as snow as
well. She must be obsessed with the colour white.
Alex then realized there were many silver needles poked into his body. If he were to
count them, there would be at least 100 of them. She had turned him into a porcupine
with them.
âUhm-â¦
âWhat are you doing to me?â
The woman replied, âWhen you were saving Steel Tower, you ended up fainting from
exhaustion. Your condition was terrible and your mental strength had almost been
drained out.
You couldâve died at any moment. Thatâs why Iâm using the Damage
Reverso acupuncture to heal you.â
Ms. Nanami was still poking those silver needles into Alex. Her silver needles were
doused in a herbal solution, the scent was fairly unique.
Alex took a few sniffs and was shocked. âThis is an extract of a ginseng thatâs at least
500 years old.â
Ms. Nanami replied calmly. âYou have a sharp nose.â
This must be how she normally behaved.
She paused and said, âAre you really the apostle of Dazzle, the Spirit Doctor? Did you
use the Beleben Soul Jinx to save Steel Tower?â
Alex froze. âYou know it too?â
Ms. Nanami shook her head. âI donât, but Iâve heard of it.â
After a few seconds, she said, âAlright, get some rest. Iâll come back in an hour to take
the needles out of you.â
âWait!â Alex called out to her. âIâm lying here looking like a porcupine because of you. I
canât even move! Can you stay and talk to me?â
âSorry, I donât do âtalkingâ. Iâm busy.â Then, she left without turning back.
Alex was starting to get bored. It was fortunate that someone came in right after the
doctor left. Anna walked in with two bottles of wine.
âYouâre awake?â
âWanna drink with me?â
Alex rolled his eyes at her. âYou really are an alcoholic. Just look at me, can I even drink
like this?â
Anna didnât mind and drank on her own. An hour passed by quickly as the conversed.
Alex managed to get some information on Ms. Nanamiâs identity, she was a disciple
from Hygieia Valley.
Hygieia Valley was a place for cures and medicine. Its mystical origins could be traced
back to the tenth century. Every disciple from Hygieia Valley was extremely skilled in
medicine, and they could make medicine from scratch as well.
Alex also found out that the person who hurt Steel Tower was a skilled fighter named
Clown. This person was not only skilled in martial arts, he was a Mystic-ranked
fighter-he also possessed odd and mysterious attacks as well.
He was the legendary Gold Detector, but he was usually referred to as a tomb raider.
Divine Constabulary had been assigned to arrest this person because he had raided a
very important grave. It was filled with many valuable national treasures, which they
now had to retrieve.
Alex was shocked. âYou guys arrest tomb raiders too?â
Anna let out a deep sigh and sat on the edge of the bed. She had downed two bottles of
wine and her face was slightly flushed, but she was yet to be drunk.
âThatâs what Divine Constabulary does. We follow up on every danger or obstacle,â she
said and furrowed her eyebrows. âWhat is this? This bed feels weird.â
