The Hospital's Last Doctor

"Don't touch the medical report yet."

Chopper secured the box door to the half-open position, and the cold air inside spread along the floor. Lami was still lying on the inner bed, with the respirator covering most of his face.

Luo used the room to move the medical report onto the table.

A corner of the paper was burned off, and only the father's surname remained of his signature, but the date markings that the mother often used were completely preserved.

Sengoku asked, "Can you confirm the handwriting?"

"Able."

Were both people present when the signature was made?

"This medical record was written down by my father, and the date was added by my mother."

They might have written it in advance.

Luo flipped it over to the back.

The above records Lami's body temperature changes after leaving the hospital.

High fever on the first day.

On the third day, he experienced difficulty breathing.

On the seventh day, the patient was transferred to the old bed in the White Swallow.

The record date spanned past the hospital fire, so it couldn't have been filled out in advance.

Bepo, holding onto the refrigeration unit, turned to look at Law.

"Captain, your parents survived too?"

"Live to at least the eighth day."

What happened next?

"Check."

Vegapunk checked the source of the paper.

"This isn't medical paper from the White Swallow; it comes from the Flevance underground shelter."

Chopper asked, "There are no wards in the hospital's basement. Could the shelter be somewhere else?"

Luo opened the access map left by pediatrician Wolf.

Sixteen hospital beds were placed in the underground ward. Lami's bed was pushed toward the body transport entrance, but there was still a thin line on the map without a marked end.

A thin line runs through the back of the hospital and connects to the Trafalgar Clinic.

There's a fireproof cabinet under my clinic.

You said you hid inside.

"The cabinet leads to the pharmacy's Inner Compartment; I always thought there was only one path there."

Enlarged drawings of Vegapunk.

There is also a drainage ditch hidden beneath the Inner Compartment.

The drainage ditch connects to the old mine tunnel, and at its end lies the Underground Transport Line used by the Minion Island Transfer Station.

Drake leaned against the wall, his shoulder already bandaged.

"Someone brought Lami out from under the clinic."

My parents.

"It could also be Dr. Wolf."

Luo did not argue.

At the bottom of the medical record is a list of medication numbers.

Chopper recognized two of them.

"These medications only relieve pain. What's the last one?"

Vegapunk found the old Medical Department.

"Experimental cryoinhibitor."

"Provided by the government?"

"The first batch of reagents was sent to Flevance Hospital, but it was not put into use before the lockdown."

Luo asked, "Where is it stored?"

Trafalgar Clinic.

Luo's father was once in charge of reagent review.

When the hospital burned down, he may have taken Lami into the underground Inner Compartment and used reagents to alleviate her condition.

Sengoku said, "Since they were able to leave, why didn't they take the other children with them?"

"The export channels are too narrow."

Luo looked at the dimensions on the blueprint.

Only one bed can be pushed at a time.

"They sent Lami first?"

"She lives closest to the clinic."

"When I went back to pick up the other children, the hospital was already on fire."

Chopper examines the times of death of sixteen children.

"They lived underground for four to eleven days, during which time someone brought them water."

"Who?"

"It's not in the records."

Luo produced a knocking sound.

When Lami woke up for the fifth time, he mentioned that Luo Yi knocked three times a day.

That's not a habit of leaving things behind randomly.

Three knocks at Flevance Hospital signify a doctor's rounds.

Luo had heard of it when he was a child.

Every time the father entered the children's ward, he would knock three times on the door so as not to frighten the sleeping children.

My father went back.

Sengoku asked, "Are you sure?"

"Luo Yi is waiting for rounds."

"The tapping could also have come from Wolf."

"Wolf used two strokes."

Luo retrieved the old duty roster rules from the Third Hospital.

Different doctors knocked on the door a different number of times; Doctor Trafalgar knocked three times, while Wolf knocked twice.

Of the sixteen sets of equipment, Luo Yi kept three shots and Emma kept two.

"Both my father and Wolf went underground."

Where is your mother?

Luo did not find the corresponding number of times.

Chopper found a recording of Lami's early awakening.

When she awoke for the second time, she sang a children's song.

Luo recognized him from the very first note.

"My mother would sing to coax patients to take their medicine."

Chopper overlapped the nursery rhyme with the old audio track from the sixteenth set of equipment.

The same melody is also stored in the device.

She's been to the very innermost part.

Three doctors entered the underground ward after the fire.

They brought water and medicine, and tried to take the child out.

In the end, they only sent away Lami's bed.

Sengoku, they searched for patrol reports of the Flevance's mopping-up troops.

Nine days after the fire, fighting broke out at the old mine entrance.

The coalition report stated that three medical personnel who attempted to escape with contaminants were killed.

The name was not registered.

The only items he had with him were a clinic stamp, a set of pediatric ward keys, and a burnt children's scarf.

Luo recognized the scarf.

After Lami fell ill, her mother cut her own scarf into shorter pieces and put it around Rami's neck.

Bepo walked over to Law, but didn't know what to say. Finally, he bent down and picked up the thermal blanket that had fallen to the ground.

"This one still works, I'll cover Lami with it first."

Luo didn't stop him.

After checking Lami's breathing, Chopper gestured for Bepo to cover him with the blanket up to his waist.

"Her body temperature is starting to return to normal, and she's more likely to hear sounds from the outside world now."

How long will it take for him to wake up?

"Stop asking how long."

"I'm a doctor, I need time."

You are no longer her attending physician.

"Then who is it?"

Chopper put the stethoscope back around his neck.

"I."

Luo looked at him for a while.

"OK."

"Also, you cannot use the ROOM to remove the Amber Lead from her body without authorization."

"Why?"

"After sixteen years of hypothermia, her organs can't withstand rapid changes, so she needs treatment in stages."

"The Op-Op Fruit can be extracted directly."

"After it's removed, her blood vessels, liver, and bones all need to readjust. Do you want her to go on the operating table right after she wakes up?"

Lola pulled up a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Give me the treatment plan."

"I can write."

"Write now."

"Let her wake up first."

The outer layer of the Medical Kit was completely opened.

The girl in the hospital bed still looked like she was six or seven years old, with her hair cut very short and marks on her face from wearing a ventilator for a long time.

Luo shifted his gaze to her right hand.

A faded string was tied around my little finger.

A white Button was tied to the other end of the string.

That was something Lami tore off Luo's coat before he left home to find medicine.

She said she would fasten it to the hospital bed first, and then sew it back on when her brother came back.

Luo reached out and picked up the Button, but the thread was already brittle; it broke in two the moment he touched it.

Chopper quickly said, "Don't worry, I can catch it again."

"Get a new one."

Should we keep the old lines too?

"Keep."

Where should I put it?

Luo opened the small pouch next to the hilt of the Kikoku Knife and put the broken thread inside.

Lami's finger twitched.

Chopper immediately bent down to check.

"Lami, can you hear me?"

She didn't open her eyes, her lips moved a few times, and the sounds coming from the respirator were indistinct.

Luo moved closer to the hospital bed.

What did she say?

Chopper adjusts the microphone.

The girl repeated it.

There are still people in the ward.

Luo looked at the sixteen sets of equipment.

They've come out.

Lami's breathing quickened.

"The last one."

"Who?"

"Doctor."

The old mine map of the Transfer Station unfolds automatically.

Below the sixteen sets of equipment, there is also an oxygen supply pipe that has never been registered.

A faint life signal was visible at the end of the pipe.

The identity section does not contain a name; only the position held sixteen years ago is retained.
