Chapter 1626: Meeting Mr. Han Again
Hum—!!
At this moment, both the Dragon-Twisting Warriors and the surrounding onlookers widened their eyes in disbelief.
They saw the person and the carriage that had been standing there suddenly turn into petals filling the sky, exploding outward with a roar. Such a massive object had actually disappeared right under everyone's noses...
Even the carriage tracks stopped abruptly where they were, as if they had truly evaporated into thin air.
"No... it's gone?"
"Divine Doctor!! Divine Doctor??! Where did the Divine Doctor go?!"
"The Dusk Agency snatched the Divine Doctor away!! What are we going to do about our illnesses?!"
“……”
The entire street fell into chaos. While everyone was shouting in astonishment, no one noticed that on the eaves of the street on the other side, a young man wearing a tall magician's hat and a black trench coat pressed down on the brim of his hat silently...
A faint smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
Snap—!
As he snapped his fingers lightly, his whole body turned into playing cards and dissipated in the wind.
Dusk Agency, [Club of Jacks].
……
Carriage cabin.
The Queen of Diamonds, with his light cyan hair tied up, slowly stood up.
"We've arrived, Mr. Han... please."
Mr. Han was also a bit surprised. After all, a second ago, the noisy shouts of the citizens were still coming from outside, but the next second, the surroundings became instantly quiet... And judging by the light coming through the curtain, they seemed to have passed directly through the street and arrived at some unknown place.
Mr. Han lifted a corner of the curtain, and a narrow but empty courtyard came into view.
"As expected of the Dusk Agency... truly full of talent."
Mr. Han couldn't help but sigh.
Mr. Han was, after all, the leader of the contemporary Medical God Path and a man who had seen the world. But even so, the Dusk Agency could always bring him unexpected surprises... Not to mention the surgeon and brain surgeon who saved his life, the Yellow God Path practitioner who came and went without a trace, and the Theater God Path practitioner who just moved the carriage—these were all rare geniuses in the outside world.
In the whole world, probably only the Dusk Agency, and only that legendary Red King... could gather these geniuses together.
Mr. Han followed the Queen of Diamonds off the carriage. He saw an exotic young man who was shirtless and a mysterious figure wearing a magician's top hat already standing on both sides of the carriage, one with an arrogant gaze, the other low-key and profound, just watching Mr. Han.
Just then, Mr. Han seemed to remember something:
"Where is my good-for-nothing student?"
"Knocked out, on the roof of the carriage." The exotic young man waved his hand casually.
Mr. Han breathed a slight sigh of relief and followed the three of them out of the courtyard. In front of them was an empty street, and directly opposite was a theater that looked plain and unremarkable...
The Red King of the Dusk Agency was actually hiding in such a theater?
Mr. Han was a bit surprised. As he walked to the entrance, the Queen of Diamonds beside him made a gesture of invitation:
"Mr. Han, Lord Red King has been waiting for a long time."
"...Mm."
Mr. Han tidied his clothes briefly and pushed the door open to enter.
Accompanied by a slight creaking sound, the clean and tidy theater came into Mr. Han's view. The empty auditorium, the deserted stage, only the dim light from outside the window shone on the stone floor of the theater, as if covered with a layer of white frost.
And at this moment, in the center of the theater, a figure draped in a theatrical robe with a red base and black patterns was sitting quietly at a table, a broom placed on his left hand, a script on his right, gently blowing ripples into the hot tea in his hand.
Behind him, a young man draped in a cyan theatrical robe was looking at Mr. Han, who had just walked in, with a complex gaze.
"Han greets the Red King."
Compared to their last meeting, this time Mr. Han was more equal and humble. Although he was the leader of the contemporary Medical God Path and an Eighth-Order practitioner, if it weren't for this man in front of him, a tragedy might have been brewing just now... Not to mention that his own life had been saved by the other party.
Moreover, having traveled through the three major domains, Mr. Han had thoroughly figured out the situation humanity was facing. Although this man in front of him was temporarily residing in this low-key theater, the power behind him was enough to shake the entire era.
The vermilion earrings swayed silently as Chen Ling blew on the tea. Those ruby-like eyes turned gently, and his gaze fell on Mr. Han.
A faint smile appeared at the corners of Chen Ling's mouth:
"Mr. Han, long time no see... how have you been lately?"
Mr. Han smiled bitterly. "After parting with you, I returned to the Tianxue Domain and recuperated for a while... But now that the plague is raging and the people are suffering, I couldn't rest in peace anymore. After discussing it with Lord Red Dust, I chose to come out of the mountains and travel through the major domains, doing my best to treat illnesses and save people."
"However... I've made a fool of myself in front of the Red King this time."
Chen Ling shook his head:
"This is not your fault. The situation in the Cangyun Domain is different from that in Tianxue and Lingxu... The same method might work in Tianxue and Lingxu, but here it will only lead to disaster."
"Yes... I have already realized that." Mr. Han bowed to Chen Ling. "In any case, thank you, Red King, for extending a helping hand, otherwise... cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."
As Mr. Han's weak coughing sounded, Chen Ling's brow furrowed slightly. He walked forward step by step, his ruby-like eyes seeming to want to see through Mr. Han's body.
"Mr. Han, the sequelae of your brain death haven't fully healed, so why are you still consuming your mental energy so frequently?"
After Mr. Han finished coughing, his face became even paler. He looked at Chen Ling and smiled bitterly:
"I... cannot bear it."
Chen Ling could naturally understand what Mr. Han meant. Previously, Mr. Han could endure the pain of a thousand cuts for the sake of the people of the domain, almost losing his life... Now, how could he bear to watch patients die one by one in front of him?
It was probably precisely because Mr. Han couldn't control himself and always wanted to save people that his student had set the rule of "only treating minor illnesses"...
Otherwise, Mr. Han would probably be worked to death in the Cangyun Domain.
However, the farce that just occurred cannot be blamed entirely on that student. Even if they had waited until they reached the clinic to announce the rules, the out-of-control crowd would likely have still stormed the place, forcing Mr. Han to treat them. This is how the Cangyun Realm is nowadays.
"So, what do you plan to do now?" Chen Ling gestured outside. "Are you still going to save people?"
Mr. Han thought for a moment, then finally nodded:
"I still must... On the way here just now, I already observed the people in this place."
"Although most of them are already terminally ill, there are still some robust young people who only have mild symptoms... Curing them is no effort for me, and since this is a time when manpower is needed, having more laborers is a good thing."
