Dimensional Hotel-Chapter 655 - 654: These Doctors Are Quite Something

"What a sin... these few Elves placed next door in Algerde, might not even be adults! I fear they've just left school and have been abducted..."

Bone-devouring Immortal frowned, looking at the several Arglede Elves brought before him—victims rescued from Old Qiao's laboratory, transferred from Deep Rock Fortress to Black Stone Station, and then urgently moved by Mo Ran to Shuji Mo City. Those in better condition were sent to the mansion's physicians, while those in worse condition were brought to their trio's courtyard.

Withered Court Elder, Blood Young Master, Bone-devouring Immortal, though they had once strayed from the right path and were suppressed by Qianfeng Ling Mountain in the Demon Suppression Tower, aside from their "Evil Cultivator" identities, their cultivation levels were indeed profound. Placed in the border land of Shuji, they were top-notch masters and their methods also had some connection to Blood Manipulation. Having studied Yu Sheng True Monarch's "Holy Blood" for days, they were brought in to care for the wounded.

Several sick beds were aligned in the hall, their edges covered with spirit wood and Spirit Stone, displaying mysterious runes that flickered with regulated illusory light. Layers of Spiritual Energy enveloped the hurt and injured, stabilizing their vitality, beginning the gradual repair of their physical damages, while small wooden blood-colored puppets flew around, crafted by Blood Young Master as "Blood Puppets"—they could seize vitality but also protect lives.

Withered Court Elder examined the most severely injured, a young silver-haired Elf, outwardly intact but carried in a life preservation container straight from Black Stone Station. Upon arrival, he had already lost consciousness entirely. Withered Court Elder used Divine Sense to scan, finding the Elf's organs were nearly hollowed out, just a circulating system of living metal keeping him hanging on, and the fusion between metal and flesh having clearly gone awry, with the living metal beginning to consume surrounding flesh.

"If we had come two days later, even I couldn't have saved him," Withered Court Elder said, stroking his dry beard, his face scrunched up, "Even now, rescuing him might cost vast longevity. Reconstructing organs is easy, but healing damage to Spiritual Sense essence is hard... My, such vicious methods."

Blood Young Master, monitoring the Medicine Cauldron nearby, turned back with a laugh, shaking his fan: "Really unexpected, Withered Court Elder finds anyone else's methods vicious—when years ago you crafted puppet corpses..."

Withered Court Elder broke into a cold sweat on the spot, alternating glances to check around, then rushed to the Medicine Cauldron: "What nonsense! If True Monarch hears..."

Midway, he realized, eyes wide: "Wait, almost fell into your trap. Back then, did I ever lay hands on innocent juniors? I targeted the enemies who came to kill me, didn't I have the right to kill them first? Master Yuan Hao said my methods were extreme, I'll admit to that now, but otherwise, self-proclaimed upright—as opposed to you deceiving men and women, causing so much mess, even demon beasts from the moat went to seek Immortal throwing complaints at you..."

Blood Young Master's iconic gentle smile almost broke along with the fan, his mouth twitching: "Is that the same? I was sincere to all of them back then! Besides, my cultivation was on the Love Fate Path, even splitting soul and refining heart, reducing cultivation, splitting true soul incarnations to avoid flaws in sincerity..."

"Indeed, one of your own incarnations later went to complain against you—both of you forgot you were originally one," Withered Court Elder said, stroking his beard, glancing sidelong at Blood Young Master, "Don't give me that look—I heard it from Liumu Taoist in the adjacent cell."

Blood Young Master turned red, becoming somewhat angry: "I, I just made a mistake!"

"Mistake here? Your mistake was causing chaos in just one place," Withered Court Elder smacked his lips, "You could at least change spots for deception..."

Bone-devouring Immortal, clad in a blue skirt and wearing an iron mask, walked to a chair, eyes glistening, watching them banter, before a muffled voice emerged from under the mask: "Be careful revealing secrets, you two, lest something unsaid from back then gets reported by Mo City Lord, dragging us back for years of punishment."

Withered Court Elder and Blood Young Master glanced at her: "Didn't you always want to go back and be confined for five hundred years?"

Bone-devouring Immortal hesitated, eyes flickering, thoughts unknown, then evasively said: "I, I don't want that anymore, hearing Senior Yun preach in that valley is better than listening to those demons and malicious creatures in the Demon Suppression Tower."

Blood Young Master and Withered Court Elder exchanged a subconscious glance, muttering:

"Did she ever listen to Senior Yun? Last time I went to listen, she wasn't there..."

"You believe her? She's always the first to flee Senior Yun's teachings, less patient than those Puppets—she just spends time in the town, mingling with little children. Last time there, I found her squatting, making mud pies with kids, childishly."

"Oh..."

Underneath Bone-devouring Immortal's iron mask came the sound of chewing metal squeaks.

Momo stood nearby, slightly nervous, uneasiness present, observing the scene in the room, her one remaining cat ear twitching at moments.

This Jipulo Girl who recently escaped Old Qiao's lab was still somewhat muddled up.

She had been cluelessly transmitted with others to a Black Spot Group's space station, where plenty of people from Feiyu Star Domain and Boundary Special Service Bureau intervened, eventually, they all boarded Immortal Boat sent to this perpetually rainy planet where people claiming to be "True Monarch's subordinates" healed them. Those worst off were transferred here, but the trio before her hardly seemed like proper "doctors"—exactly how, she couldn't articulate.

Momo's condition was relatively fine, especially compared to others. Her living metal and artificial neural tissue were still stable, which was why she was previously chosen as "laboratory assistant."

Originally, she was supposed to rest elsewhere, but undeterred by concern for severely injured peers sent to "courtyard," she came over on her own.

No one stopped her along the way. The people here were very friendly, and after understanding the situation, some even pointed her in the right direction. The three strange "doctors" were actually quite polite. They didn't kick her out, just asked her to stay in a spot where she wouldn't be in the way—the man wearing an iron mask even gave her some pastries.

The Gyprolians generally have short stature, making Momo feel as if she had been mistaken for a minor.

The Bone-devouring Immortal raised her head, gazing at the cat-eared girl standing not far away with a somewhat dazed expression—the girl's ears and tail looked like a local Cat Demon's, but she knew the girl was a "Gyprolian."

Many, many years ago, she had taken her daughter on a trip to Terra, where there were plenty of Gyprolians.

"Come over," the Bone-devouring Immortal gestured with her hand.

Momo's mechanical ears and normal ears twitched simultaneously, and after confirming, she cautiously walked over, slightly confused.

No matter how friendly the people around her were, she was accustomed to being cautious in this way—this situation might persist for quite a while.

"Since you're here, I'll give you a check-up too," came the muffled voice from beneath the iron mask, as the Bone-devouring Immortal motioned Momo to sit on a nearby chair. Then, she began chanting a spell and used her Divine Sense to examine the other's body.

A subtle blood scent wafted from the mask's gaps, to which Momo was extremely sensitive, causing the fur on her tail to fluff out uncontrollably.

"Relax," the Bone-devouring Immortal said lightly. "You have some stagnant poison in your organs, but it's no big deal. With proper medication, you'll recover here after some days."

Momo nodded nervously, then glanced at the few hospital beds: "Them..."

"When you see us begin to argue, it means your friends have mostly stabilized," the Bone-devouring Immortal explained, seeming to notice Momo's tension, and added, "Don't worry, we're not bad people now."

Her words had just fallen when the Withered Court Elder walked over and cupped his hands before Momo: "We are righteous cultivators under Yu Sheng True Monarch..."

"Can't you stop emphasizing those last few words every time?" the Bone-devouring Immortal frowned. "Each time you stress that, it sounds even more suspicious."

"He's afraid he'll forget," Blood Young Master said, shaking his fan as he approached, "Last time, when people from Qianfeng Ling Mountain came to check Mo City's reconstruction, he just passed by the Central Court for a look, then ran over, stood up with a bang, and shouted 'Report,' startling them..."

This time it was the Withered Court Elder's turn to flush red as he pointed at Blood Young Master, glaring: "You, you were trembling like a leaf, not daring to lift your head; which eye saw me run over..."

Momo raised her head, looking at these three strange guys before her, feeling at one moment there was something frightening about them, an aroma of blood and violence, yet at another moment they seemed merely strangely characteristic good people. This conflict in her feelings made her even more confused—though soon, her internal struggle was interrupted.

A phantom door suddenly appeared not far away. After the door opened, Yu Sheng came leading the travel agency staff and a certain second-hand scientist from the Dark Meteor Domain.

Before the door dissipated, the Withered Court Elder and Blood Young Master had already flashed forward in a blur, fearing they might be a moment late, bowing simultaneously: "Reporting to Yu Sheng True Monarch, all patients are out of danger!"

The Bone-devouring Immortal couldn't hold it in, burst into laughter. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Then she rose from her chair, waddled over, and bowed gracefully: "What commands does the True Monarch have?"

Yu Sheng, upon entering, was startled by the two sliding-kneeling heroes, and finally waved his hand in helpless amusement. His gaze then fell on Momo not far away.

"I'm here to find this... uh, what's this cat's name?"

Luo reminded him nearby: "She said her name is Momo."

"Oh, here for Momo, to inquire about some things."
