Wa Tie'er Refused to Name His Illness

[Please have patients disclose the names of the fatal diseases.]

The hint about the Throne appeared three times in a row.

Wa Tie'er leaned against the headboard, the removed IV drip still dripping medicine, the clear liquid flowing down the edge of the bed into the drain.

Dragon reached for the call button.

"Don't call anyone," Wa Tie'er said.

There's a doctor here.

He is not my doctor.

Luo was already pushing Lami towards the ward.

"Drake, take the helm."

Where are you going?

"Push him back onto the bed."

"The right-side thruster is still not repaired."

"Let the bear drag it."

Drake cursed something, and the communication was quickly transferred to Miiru.

The boat was still moving, and the water in the drainage system was above the bottom of the wheelchair. Lami looked down at it for a while.

"Brother, the water is flowing back."

"The White Swallow is ascending."

"It's not the ship moving."

Luo stopped using his wheelchair.

A scrap of paper on the water is drifting deeper into the ward, in the opposite direction to where the ship is tilting.

"There are also drain outlets down there," Lami said.

"Let's go find Wa Tie'er first."

"He pulled the tube so we could get there."

"I know."

What about the drain outlet?

"Remember the location, come back and check it again."

"You always say 'come back'."

Luo looked down at her.

"Is there a problem?"

"Last time we talked about coming back, the White Door collapsed."

The door can still be opened.

You no longer have doctor's authorization.

"Walls can be opened."

Lami swallowed his words and pointed ahead.

He pulled out another one.

In the footage from the ward, Wa Tie'er ripped off the heart monitor cable, and the Throne's assessment of his condition began to falter.

[Patient refuses to provide diagnosis]

[Please select cause of death]

Options appear one after another.

[Amber Lead Syndrome infection]

[God Valley's old injury relapses]

[Illegal contact with the King's Blood]

[Trafalgar Family genetic disease]

Luo pushed open the ward door.

Which one is true?

Wa Tie'er glanced at him.

"It's all true."

"Then why did you pull out the tube?"

The medicine didn't work.

Chopper yelled into the comms, "Who said it's useless? That bag of pills is maintaining your blood pressure, Drake, put the tube back in!"

Drake is still in the captain's cabin.

Dragon picked up the IV needle.

"I'll do it."

"Lie back down," Luo said.

"Your sister can't wait."

"She's here."

I was talking about something else.

Luo walked to Wa Tie'er's bedside and snatched the old scalpel he had hidden under the blankets.

The blade had been pressed against the IV tubing connector; if anyone tried to force it back in, he would have cut the entire line.

Do you want to die?

He's been dead for a long time, according to the records.

I just changed it to "Survival" for you.

"Who told you to change it?"

"Go talk to the Throne if you dare."

It only listens to the doctor.

I am not the third doctor.

"You're still the Trafalgar family's doctor."

Luo tossed the scalpel onto another bed.

"Hands out."

"Need not."

"Then I'll dismantle the bed."

"You take it apart."

As the room was set up, Luo carefully picked out the screws around the hospital bed and placed them one by one into his hands.

With the bed frame no longer secured, Wa Tie'er could only hold onto the wall for support.

"Did you treat people like this when you were a kid?"

There were no fruits when I was a child.

No wonder your father wouldn't let you come back.

Luo inserted a new IV tubing into the connector and returned the needle to the vein.

Wa Tie'er raised his other hand, but the knife was gone.

"Open."

"Tell me the name of the illness first."

"The Throne was given to four."

"I asked the doctor to write it."

No doctor has written about it.

"Who diagnosed you with that illness?"

"World Government."

Vegapunk has retrieved Wa Tie'er's old files from Flevance.

Under the same number, seven different disease names appeared at different times.

The earliest version described it as external injury in God Valley, later changed to Amber Lead contact, and then to bloodline contamination.

"Seven diseases in one person?" Chopper asked.

Wa Tie'er leaned back against the wall.

"I can have an eighth one if they need it."

Luo flipped to the end of the file.

"These diseases all share the same treatment recommendation."

Lami read the line aloud.

"You are not allowed to leave Flevance."

"There's more to come," Vegapunk said.

The page continues to expand.

[Once they leave the quarantine area, they can be executed on the spot by the escorting personnel.]

Chopper immediately asked, "What kind of medical advice is this?"

The Medical Department proactively connected its lines.

"Trafalgar D. Wa Tie'er carried an unknown contamination of the God Valley; restricting his movements was in accordance with regulations at the time to prevent its spread."

"Where's the sample?" Luo asked.

What sample?

"Samples that can prove contamination."

The relevant documents have been destroyed.

Who inspected it?

"God Valley Medical Team"

"Name."

"I have no right to disclose this."

"Another doctor without a name."

The Medical Department leader did not deny it.

Luo stacked the seven medical records together.

Is Amber Lead Syndrome contagious?

"It could not be confirmed at the time."

"It can be confirmed now."

"The conclusions we draw now cannot replace the judgments made back then."

"Then why were you still using the same disease name thirteen years ago?"

The other party paused for a moment.

"Because Wa Tie'er has made contact with the remnants of God Valley again."

"Who?"

"Information confidentiality."

"Dragon?"

The Medical Department did not respond.

Dragon, however, sat up from bed number seventeen.

"It's me."

Wa Tie'er reached up to remove the IV needle, but Luo grabbed his arm.

"Don't move."

"Let him finish speaking."

Dragon fastened his hospital gown.

Thirteen years ago, Rosinante came looking for Lami. I woke up once, Wa Tie'er opened the door for me.

Luo asked, "Did you see Corazon?"

"Through a wall."

What did he say?

He's taking bed number seventeen with him.

"Lami or you?"

He doesn't know who's in bed.

Wa Tie'er took over the conversation.

"The Medical Department told him that bed number seventeen was Lami, and he could see her after signing the transfer documents."

Luo stared at him.

"Just like that time at the Transfer Station."

That method has been used for many years.

Why did you open the door?

I want to see if he'll sign it.

"He signed it?"

"Signed."

"You're just going to hand over Dragon to him?"

"No."

"Then what do you want him to sign?"

Wa Tie'er shifted his gaze to the old Buttons on Lami's coat.

"Bloodline guarantee."

Luo took the Button off.

Whom are you guarantoring?

"Everyone who has had contact with the survivors of God Valley."

"Including Lami?"

"Including your parents."

The heart equipment in the ward was back in working order, and the intravenous medications were gradually taking effect, but Wa Tie'er still had to pause between sentences to be able to speak.

"The World Government couldn't find the people from God Valley, so they looked for the doctors who had been in contact with them, wrote 'contact' as 'illness,' 'knowledge' as 'contagion,' and then locked everyone up in the same place."

Chopper asked, "Is the lockdown in Flevance also related to this?"

"Amber Lead gave them a ready-made reason."

"The people in the city have indeed been poisoned."

"So nobody will ask why there are a few more people without Amber Lead Syndrome on the lockdown list."

Vegapunk retrieved the last batch of execution lists from Flevance.

Luo's parents' names did not appear in the patient's file, but they were classified as high-risk contacts.

Wa Tie'er's name is listed first.

"Why must you die in Flevance?" Luo asked.

"Because I live, the God Valley has not disappeared."

"Is this all?"

"Not enough?"

Your father left you the key.

Wa Tie'er's finger stopped beside the IV tubing.

What key?

You admitted it after the previous question.

Did I say that?

"Lami heard it too."

The girl nodded.

You said your parents gave you a key.

"She's mistaken."

"I only heard about it today."

"Lack of oxygen can cause confusion."

Lami removed the oxygen tube from under his nose.

"There is no oxygen deficiency now."

Chopper immediately shouted, "Put it back on! Don't fight him with your body!"

Lami put the tube on.

"Then tell Dr. Chopper if I'm remembering correctly."

Wa Tie'er closed his eyes, as if preparing to fall asleep.

Luo raised the headboard by one notch.

"Don't pretend."

"The medicine is working."

This medicine won't make you sleep.

You don't resemble your father very much.

What will he do?

"Treat the patient well first, then ask questions."

"I asked, and they said the same treatment applies."

So you'll never find the key.

Luo did not press the matter further.

He put seven old medical records on screens around the world, asking Vegapunk to analyze the wording.

A moment later, the same string of internal code appeared after each of the seven so-called disease names.

[Contact with unregistered members of God Valley]

Medical institutions across the country have begun examining old medical records.

The same codes kept appearing in the quarantine records of North Blue and East Blue. Many of these patients had never been to God Valley, but were included in the non-transfer list simply because they had treated related survivors.

The Medical Department attempted to halt the comparison, but was blocked by the hospitals that withdrew from the accreditation process.

A doctor in North Blue directly deleted the patient's mark from the medical record and changed it to "detainee".

More hospitals followed suit and made the changes.

The answer options on the Throne Page change accordingly.

The four disease names were crossed out one by one.

[Wa Tie'er must die in Flevance because he possesses the God Valley Survivor List]

Luo looked at the person on the bed.

Where is the list?

"Burn it."

Who burned it?

"I."

Where's the key?

"It was burned too."

"Can keys burn?"

Wa Tie'er did not answer.

The system requires you to submit a final answer.

Luo did not press.

"Vegapunk, check his blood."

"We've already checked, and there's no Amber Lead poison. The effects of the stone on your chest are still unknown."

"Check the medication."

Chopper reacted first.

"The IV bag is missing one ingredient."

What's missing?

"Medicine to stabilize that stone."

Wa Tie'er finally opened his eyes.

Luo turned the IV bag over to the back, where a tear mark remained on the label.

Where did you hide the medicine?

"Nothing was hidden."

"You stopped taking the medication because you wanted to put the weight off your chest."

"The stone should have stopped moving anyway."

What will happen if we stop?

The First Patient will wake up.

Dragon asked, "Who was the First Patient?"

Wa Tie'er looked at Ro.

The answer lies in the recordings your father left behind.

The old Den Den Mushi White Door automatically connected and played the half-sentence that had been cut off earlier.

"Lo, don't save Wa Tie'er, he's not the person you used to know."

During the recording, Luo's father paused for a moment.

"What he carries in his chest isn't meant to save his heart."
