"Just contact the courier to deliver the message. I will open a clinic in the slums of Longmen. By the way, I will bring a few field operators to Longmen this time to set up a safe house."

"Longmen is still unstable?" Kal'tsit was very smart. She immediately got this message from Yakumo's words.

"Yes, it's not time to reveal your true intentions yet." Yakumo nodded: "If I don't know for sure, I also don't recommend entering the Dragon Gate now."

"Okay, but please always remember that the suffering on this land requires us to handle it carefully. If you travel alone, Rhodes Island will not be able to provide sufficient assistance. Dr. Yakumo."

"Are you concerned about me?"

"Rhodes Island cannot operate without you." Kal'tsit sighed: "Although I have always been wary of you, it is undeniable that your appearance has put Babel Tower... no, Rhodes Island is now on the right track quickly."

"Rhodes Island can't do without you now."

"It's rare that Kal'tsit didn't use riddles, but expressed your views so directly." Yakumo looked at Kal'tsit in surprise. He thought Kal'tsit would continue to use riddles and say a lot of incomprehensible words.

"What impression do I leave on you?"

"An old woman full of riddles?"

Kelsey's face darkened.

"Don't worry, even if you are over 10,000 years old, Kal'tsit, I won't despise you."

"Mon3ter!"

"Boom!" Rhodes Island is still peaceful today.

After a while of arguing, they resumed the discussion: "Although Kulusier has been found, Huafalin has not yet arrived on the island. We'd better find Huafalin as soon as possible."

"If Kal'tsit is always out, the medical department needs someone who can keep things under control. After all, Logos is a warlock by profession, so he can't always stay in the medical department."

"I have also been looking for Mr. Blood. Now I have some clues. I will invite him later. With Xiao Te... Theresa here, I don't think she will refuse."

Kal'tsit was almost led to call Xiaote classmate.

"Okay, that's settled. I'll leave for Longmen tomorrow. Find two field operators to go with me. I'll find a way to bring the equipment into Longmen, don't worry."

"The field operators have been selected, but do we really have to walk there this time?" Theresa was a little worried: "Rhodes Island is still a long way from Longmen."

"I will take them to fly nearby first, and then walk into the dragon gate. Driving over there will be too eye-catching and will easily attract Wei Yanwu's attention. It's better to keep a low profile in the early stages."

Chapter 45: Stationed at Longmen

Yakumo's destination was Longmen, and he brought several field operators with him, but they separated near Longmen. This time, the operators consisted of a Sarkaz and two Fengti (cows), and they brought some funds to open a safe house at Longmen.

Yakumo, on the other hand, entered Longmen alone. Of course, he also had money with him, so he could at least buy a store. As for the location of the store, he chose the street where the gangs were.

It was not difficult to buy the store. Yakumo offered a lot, and the store was not very big. After buying the store, Yakumo hung up the sign he had prepared long ago.

【Yakumo Medical Clinic】

After the sign was hung up, the news quickly spread throughout the underground street. Opening a clinic in the underground street? This was unheard of. As everyone knows, in the underground world, there are only black doctors, and formal clinics are rare.

"That's it, sir." In a teahouse, a young man with a solemn face was reporting to a middle-aged man.

"A new doctor? He opened a clinic with such brazenness? Interesting." The middle-aged man did not look like a human, but more like a big rat.

Most of the children on this street knew him because he opened a candy store and was very popular among children. The adults on this street also knew him because he was the head of the entire Longmen underground gang and was called "Gray Lin".

Lin Gerui, nicknamed Rat King. Although there are many gangs in the underground world of Longmen, everyone is afraid of this "Rat King". Under the rules of the Rat King, no one dares to do anything beyond the rules.

At the same time, the Rat King had spies all over the underground streets, and no matter what happened, he would not be able to escape his eyes. The Rat King knew about it on the first day that Yakumo came to open the clinic.

"Well... a doctor is not a new force. Let's wait and see." The Rat King waved his hand. To be fair, it is a good thing to have a doctor in the underground street.

Although he strictly prohibited any deaths in the underground streets, injuries were inevitable.

"Don't embarrass him, let's see what he will do first." The Rat King waved his hand, signaling that the other party could go down. He would drink some tea and then go back.

"Dad, you are really being lazy here. I'll tell Mom when I get back!" As soon as the younger brother went downstairs, a delicate little girl came running up the stairs.

"Ahem..." The Rat King almost choked on his tea: "Yuxia, I'm just observing the situation on the street, not being lazy!"

The Rat King, who was quite dignified in front of his subordinates, lost his composure in a second, and even had a somewhat flattering smile on his face. This little girl was none other than the Rat King's daughter, Lin Yuxia.

Unlike the Rat King, who looked like a big rat, Lin Yuxia only had round rat ears on her head and a rat tail behind her. In other aspects, she was no different from a human.

The Rat King, who was caught being lazy by his own daughter, no longer cared about the new doctor and just wanted to coax his daughter first.

On the other side, after Yakumo hung up the plaque, he cleaned up the house to make it look like a clinic. Then, he was visited by the gangsters.

"Hey, kid! Stinky Fish hasn't paid this month's protection fee yet. Since you took over his shop, you should help him pay the fee. I won't make it difficult for you. If you pay it today, the protection fee for this month won't increase. It won't be the same price tomorrow!"

Huh? Yakumo looked at the gangster in front of him as if he was a fool. Is this guy crazy? He came to cause trouble with the doctor? You come to scare the newcomers and make them follow the rules of the underworld.

With such performance at the beginning, aren't you afraid that the doctor will give you surgery later?

Of course, Yakumo couldn't pay the protection fee, so he threw them all out one by one. This process was effortless, and the gangsters couldn't even resist.

"Next time you come to see the doctor, the price will increase by 20%." Yakumo said coldly, then went back to the house.

There was no fun of newcomers being bullied. Apart from those thugs who kept their butts down, everything else was as peaceful as an everyday occurrence.

Perhaps because of the feud with this gang, no one came to Yakumo's clinic for several days. All the people who came were the forces behind this gang. Every day they came to find trouble and then were thrown out.

The medical fees for this group of people also increased from 20% to doubled.

At this point, the gang realized that although Yakumo was only one person, his strength was indeed terrifying. Although they didn't know how he compared to the Rat King, he was definitely not someone who could be easily provoked.

Perhaps it was because of the strength that Yakumo showed that people gradually began to come to Yakumo for treatment. We are all human beings, and we all go through birth, aging, illness, and death, injuries, and even when we fight, swords and knives are merciless.

At first, people came to Yakumo's clinic for minor ailments and pains, such as colds and minor scratches. They were easy to treat and the consultation fee was not expensive.

More importantly, this place is much better than those black clinics, and it is safe. Moreover, no one dares to cause trouble here, because all those who cause trouble will be thrown out.

At the same time, the troublemakers were charged extra money for seeing a doctor. Yakumo had a good memory and remembered exactly how much extra money was charged. After a month, everyone gradually got used to the clinic on this street.

In addition to seeing the doctor every day, Yakumo would go to the pier, buy some food, or go to the teahouse for tea. The prototype of Longmen should be the Guangdong-Hong Kong area, which has a very obvious morning tea culture. Yakumo met the Rat King several times in the teahouse.

The low-key Rat King looks like an old man practicing Tai Chi in the park. If you don't know more, no one would believe that he is the leader of the gang.

Until one day, a person covered in blood appeared at the door of the clinic, holding another dying person. The crowd that had been planning to watch the excitement immediately hid far away when they saw the dying person.

There was no other reason, just because the man who looked like he was about to die had a small crystal cluster on his arm, which was a characteristic of the infected.

Compared with other countries, Longmen's attitude towards the infected is much more relaxed, but the situation of being vigilant against the infected is still unavoidable. Especially this kind of dying infected, who are avoided by everyone.

"Please, please save him, doctor." Fengti, covered in blood, kowtowed continuously, not saying why or what happened, just begging Yakumo.

The dying person was a Liberi (bird). Yakumo didn’t know how this combination was put together, but the Liberi was indeed dying.

"Bring him in." Yakumo opened the door and let Fengti carry Liberi in.

Chapter 46 Meeting the Rat King

"How tragic, it's like a bomb exploded right in front of him. Could it be an Originium bomb?" Yakumo first treated the wound on Liberi's body, cleaned the stains, and disinfected it.

There was no need to worry about the mineral disease infection in Liberi. The key point was to save him first. It was no exaggeration to say that Liberi had been put by the Black and White Impermanence. If he had not been sent to Yakumo, he would have been rejected no matter which hospital he went to.

"By the way, tell me what happened." The first step has been completed. Liberi is currently losing too much blood. Yakumo took some of his blood, analyzed it, and used the power of the Life Transcendent to reversely produce blood for Liberi.

Originally Libericang

Bai's face gradually turned red, but this still did not completely save him from the brink of death. Next, he had to deal with the organs damaged by the explosion, which was not something that could be done with conventional surgery.

Fortunately, Terra itself is not an ordinary world, and the use of magic is mostly considered to be Originium skills.

Finally, some minor wounds were treated, and Liberi was basically safe. As his breathing gradually calmed down, Liberi was out of danger, and the last thing he had was the mineral disease.

"After we go back, find him a long-sleeved shirt to wear. The Originium crystal cluster on his arm is relatively easy to hide. However, I can't guarantee that it can be hidden from the Rat King. Perhaps the Rat King already knew about it when you first came here."

Pushing Liberi outside, Yakumo disinfected the inner room and then cleaned it up.

"I, I understand..." Fengti still looked very nervous, and he began to take money out of his pocket tremblingly. They were all small-denomination Longmen coins, and it was obvious that he had saved them for a long time.

"Not enough." Yakumo sighed. To save a person who was injured like this, the money given by Fengti was not enough, and it was even far from enough. Even if Yakumo was doing charity, he couldn't do it every time, right?

"I, I'll go back and get it!" Feng Ti's face turned red. He also knew that he didn't have enough money, but this was all he had.

"Go ahead, anyway, this Liberi can't fly for a while." Yakumo nodded. Unless Fengti wants to run away by himself, but if Fengti wants to escape, he won't take out all the money on him.

When Fengti walked out, there was already a circle of people outside who were watching the fun. Watching the fun is human nature, especially for people like this who seem to have no chance of survival, those black medical clinics usually won't accept them.

But although Feng Ti came out in a hurry, his expression was definitely not as if the sky was falling. Could it be that he was saved? As Feng Ti left, the sound of people whispering outside gradually sounded, and some people wanted to get close to the window of the clinic to look inside.

Yakumo found a blanket to cover Liberi and his arm. Judging from the infection, it should not be a recent infection, but it must not have been too long, probably within a year.

"Now that you're awake, stop pretending to be asleep. Your physical fitness is pretty good. Even if the others are rescued, they will probably be in a coma for a few days. Oh, and I'll help you replenish your lost blood."

This Liberi did not suffer from excessive blood loss. Apart from the fact that his wounds could not be healed by healing magic, the only thing left was that his internal organs were impacted and it would take some time to heal.

"Doctor, our money..." Liberi's voice was very soft. If Yakumo hadn't had very good hearing, this sentence would have been completely ignored.

"It's definitely not enough. I think you are just porters at the dock or workers in a workshop. Such explosions are usually accidents. It's not easy to cause such explosions in Longmen."

"You are infected, and your workplace probably won't compensate you. Now maybe all the hard-earned money you've saved over the years won't be enough to cover your expenses. You can say that you have run out of money." Yakumo shook the test tube of medicine in his hand. This was the medicine he was going to sell.

"Alas, even without looking at you I can feel your despair." Yakumo shook his head: "You even want to end it all. After all, after what happened, the place where you work may not want you anymore."

This is simply getting more desperate the more I talk about it!!!

"If you don't have any family, then death would probably be the end of everything. But seeing how hard you work, that shouldn't be the case, right?" After listening to Yakumo's words, Liberi froze. What Yakumo said was absolutely right.

Just as I was about to say something, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman with a child rushed in anxiously. The woman who came in was also a Liberi, and the child in her arms looked three or four years old, with white hair and a bunch of black highlights.

After the women of Liberi hurried over, Fengti, who had run away earlier, finally came back. As expected, the money was not enough, not even half.

This was very awkward, and several people looked worried, not knowing what to do.

"I'm in need of a helper. If you're willing to work for me and run errands for me, I can use your wages to pay for the treatment. But this contract will take a long time, so you have to think it over carefully."

How can this be possible?! Lying on the hospital bed, Liberi's eyes widened. Isn't this charity?! He is an infected person, and it is difficult for him to find a job.

Now Yakumo provides him with a job and can even deduct the cost of his treatment. Is there anything better than this? !

Or is it that the person in front of me is actually a living Bodhisattva?

"Don't look at me like that. I just happened to be in need of an errand boy. Otherwise, sometimes I can't even drink tea in peace." Yakumo waved his hand: "Originally, I was planning to post a job opening in the next two days."

There was no possibility of rejection. After recovering, Li Boli became an errand boy for the clinic. Yakumo gave him the code name Axing, which was a unique mischievous taste of Yakumo.

But Ah Xing seemed very satisfied with this code name and introduced himself as Ah Xing to everyone he met.

As expected, the place where Ah Xing worked before fired him because he concealed his identity as an infected person.

"Hmm, good tea. Doesn't Mr. Lin usually drink tea on the second floor? How come you have time to come to the first floor today?" Yakumo put down the teacup and looked at the old man sitting in front of him.

Sent someone to observe

After a month, did the Rat King finally resist contacting him? Or did the previous treatment method alarm him?

"Rhodes Island's chief executive, why are you here?" The Rat King did not dare to underestimate the young man in front of him. According to the intelligence he had collected, this man named Yakumo was no ordinary person.

If it is an official visit to Longmen, he should be received by Wei Yanwu, the person in charge of Longmen.

"The Rat King is really well-informed. I thought I hid it well." Yakumo smiled slightly and answered without giving in.

Chapter 47 Rambling

"If entering Longmen openly can be considered hiding, then you are indeed hiding very well." The Rat King took a sip of tea slowly. "However, on the other hand, it does prove that Rhodes Island's medical skills are good."

"In Ah Xing's condition, basically no doctor could save him. But now Ah Xing is full of energy and helps you buy things every day. He is even healthier than most people in the underground street."

"Maybe it's a physical problem. People's physiques are different. For example, when I'm extremely angry, I can even stop natural disasters." Yakumo's words just made the Rat King smile, and he didn't take it to heart.

Stop the natural disaster? It's just a boast. Only a fool would really believe in such a thing. The Rat King obviously regarded Yakumo's words as boasting. He was more curious about Yakumo's medical skills than stopping the natural disaster.

"Does Rhodes Island intend to stay in Longmen permanently?" the Rat King asked, "Or has Rhodes Island been unable to pay your salary, so you have left Rhodes Island?"

"It's impossible to leave. Everyone in Rhodes Island is talented and speaks well. I like people from Rhodes Island very much." Yakumo also took a sip of tea: "As for the reason for coming to Longmen...why don't you let the Rat King guess?"

"It's definitely not because of that guy Wei Yanwu." The Rat King shook his head. It was really hard for him to judge why Yakumo came to Longmen. After all, Rhodes Island and Longmen had no intersection, and the two sides were far apart.

In fact, it is no wonder that the Rat King is so cautious. It has only been a short time since Koschei was driven out of Longmen, and Longmen cannot withstand the turmoil now. As the controller of the underground forces of Longmen, the Rat King needs to ensure the stability of Longmen.

"Rhodes Island is a medical company after all. We are committed to solving the problems caused by oripathy." Yakumo didn't know how many times he had said this, and now he has become extremely proficient in it.

"We have already established good cooperative relations with Syracuse and RemBit. Now we want to expand the scope of cooperation, of course we have to follow the principle of proximity. After all, Longmen is a famous open city."

"This city is indeed very tolerant..." The Rat King considered his words, thinking about how to answer Yakumo: "But this is an underground street, a slum, and the people here can't afford the cost of treating mineral sickness."

"If the slums are really that bad, why would the Rat King stay here?" Yakumo gently exposed the Rat King.
