The false medical order Father left behind
You've already heard this recording.
Luo didn't look at the Den Den Mushi.
Wa Tie'er drip has resumed, but the missing medication has not been replenished, and an abnormal heartbeat is heard every seven seconds below the old wound on his chest.
"I've heard of it," Wa Tie'er said.
Where?
Before the Flevance Fire.
Who delivered it?
"Your father."
Was he still alive at the time?
"The recording was sent from God Valley, before he returned to Flevance."
Why not give it to me?
"Because there's another sentence after that."
The recording of Luo's father continued to play.
"If Luo comes after me, let him hate me."
Another person's question came through the Den Den Mushi.
He won't believe it.
"Then let's blame it on Wa Tie'er; he's used to it."
Wa Tie'er reached out and turned off the recording.
That's enough.
Luo switched the Den Den Mushi to the one in front of him.
"Who told you to turn it off?"
There is no further content.
"You just said something else."
"It's all been released."
Where is the original audio track?
"Deleted."
Did you delete it?
"Right."
Vegapunk interrupts the conversation.
"There are two layers of recording inside the Den Den Mushi's shell. This recording wasn't continuous; it was cut three times in between."
Wa Tie'er asked, "Can you restore it?"
"Assess the extent of the damage."
"Cannot."
How did you know?
"Because I took it apart myself."
Luo covered the ROOM with Den Den Mushi), and the remaining Tone Dial inside was divided into more than a dozen pieces, which were then rearranged on the medical record table.
Each piece retains only a few words.
"Don't touch it," Wa Tie'er said.
"What are you afraid I'll hear?"
"I'm afraid you'll spell out another incorrect sentence by combining the wrong ones."
"Then tell me exactly what you said."
"Forgot."
"You even remember the handover time from thirty-eight years ago."
"I can't remember things I want to forget."
Lami kept listening to that recording.
When Luo's father mentioned her for the second time, he used her full name.
She replayed the beginning, then dragged it to the end.
"That's not what Dad said."
Luo turned his head.
Which sentence?
"To make you hate Dr. Wa Tie'er."
"Same voiceprint."
"The way they address each other is different."
Wa Tie'er looked at her.
Do you remember what he called you?
"Little Doctor."
"That's what I said to you when you were little."
"That's how he calls me when he writes medical records."
Lami took out the origami he had found White Door from his coat pocket.
There were several lines of the father's handwriting on the back of the paper, in which he wrote that after the Little Doctor woke up, he could assist the third doctor in checking the handover.
"If Dad knew I could hear him, he wouldn't have scolded Lami."
Vegapunk extracted those two words.
"This section is definitely the worst spliced; there are other sounds coming from below."
"Can we separate?" Luo asked.
"Give me time."
The Medical Department's team leader reappeared.
"Unauthorized recovery of sealed recordings by the World Government will trigger the medical record retrieval procedure."
"You just said this was a private recording," Luo said.
"The content involves God Valley."
So it's true?
"I haven't confirmed its authenticity."
"Then why are you in such a hurry?"
"All materials on board the White Swallow are government property."
"Boats too?"
"The White Swallow received government medical assistance."
Miiru was brought in from the captain's cabin.
How much funding was provided?
The relevant accounts have been sealed.
I have the ledger here.
An old ledger that had been soaked in water was projected onto the screen.
Miiru turned to the first page.
"The White Swallow has received medicine four times in its thirty-eight years. The first time, half a box was missing; the second time, it was all expired medicine; the third time, Caesar took it; and the fourth time was the IV drip you just cut off."
The Medical Department leader stated, "The government also provided flight route protection."
You mean being hunted down?
The Medical Department has no authority to interpret the actions of the escort force.
What have you bought?
The other party did not respond.
Miiru closed the ledger.
"If you want your medical records back, go aboard the ship and get them yourself."
The landing craft, now without naval escort, had scattered, with only one still sailing close to the port side of the White Swallow.
Luo asked, "Drake, how many people are left on the ship?"
"Eight just came in, two were caught in the ward, three were lying in the drain, and three are still missing."
Where are they?
The signals at the Stern are too chaotic.
Miiru accessed the ship's internal surveillance footage.
The cabinet containing medical record number 17 is still there, but the lock has been moved.
Lami pointed to the screen.
"There's a piece of paper missing from the cabinet."
Luo glanced at it.
The transfer application that was originally posted on file number seventeen is gone, leaving only four mounting holes.
"Drake, go to the medical records cabinet."
"I'm still repairing the rudder."
"Let Miiru take over."
How can he pedal two pedals at the same time with one leg?
Miiru attached the wooden prosthetic leg to the support bar.
"You can step on it."
Drake didn't argue further, picked up his sword, and left the captain's cabin.
Vegapunk has begun stripping away the recordings.
The first layer is the voice of Luo's father.
The second layer comes from the Throne synthesis record, with each word taken from a different time period.
The phrase "make you hate me" is completely rearranged after being broken down.
"Why would the Throne forge a doctor's order?" Chopper asked.
Wa Tie'er said, "So that Robbie could save me."
"Then why are you still helping it keep it a secret?"
"The result is correct."
Luo looked at him.
"If you really wanted to die, you wouldn't have threatened me with a knife earlier."
I want to shut off what's pressing on my chest.
What's the difference between this and death?
"There's a big difference."
Explain yourself.
"If I die, it will find another body. Only when I shut it down will it stop."
Lami asked, "Who is it?"
"The First Patient."
Dragon leaned against the bed, his hand resting near the old wound on his chest.
"The royal family of God Valley?"
"Even earlier than them."
"Is the person still alive?"
"I have no idea."
"Does that stone in your chest keep its heart beating?"
"It's also helping me maintain things."
When Luo's father placed the stone in Wa Tie'er's chest, he revived his brother, who had stopped breathing, and also brought another heartbeat out of the God Valley.
This heartbeat followed Wa Tie'er into Flevance.
After the city was locked down, the World Government never only wanted to kill those who knew the truth, but also the starting point of the flight path hidden inside his body.
Luo asked, "Did Father know there was someone inside the stone?"
"I only found out later."
Why didn't he take it out?
"If you remove the stone, I will die."
So he wants you to choose for yourself.
Wa Tie'er looked at the Den Den Mushi.
He didn't have time to ask.
Luo did not respond to that sentence.
When the father returned to Flevance from the God Valley, the city was under lockdown, the basement was packed with patients, Lami was waiting for his medicine, and Luo was on the run.
All that was left for Wa Tie'er was this altered recording.
Vegapunk then restored the next segment of his original voice.
"Don't let Luo save me unless he's already decided..."
The sound stopped here.
The sounds of tables and chairs moving and children crying could be heard in the background.
Luo asked, "Decide on what?"
Wa Tie'er closed his eyes.
"I have no idea."
"You've heard the full story."
It was already missing when it arrived in my hands.
Who sent it?
"Medical Department."
"They gave you a medical order that they didn't want me to hear in its entirety?"
They want me to do the first part of the sentence.
"You did as instructed for thirteen years."
"I'm still alive, so I can't say I did it."
Lami unfolded the origami his father had left behind.
There are creases on it too.
There is a relatively thick Inner Compartment in the middle of the paper.
Luo used the tip of his knife to pry it open, revealing half a dried-out medication label inside, with the same number as the one torn off the Wa Tie'er IV bag.
After examining it, Chopper said, "This is the missing formula for the stabilizing agent."
"Are we compatible?"
"The ship doesn't have enough medicine, Vegapunk's side is also short of a certain ingredient."
Wa Tie'er opened his eyes.
"Don't be worthy."
"It's not your decision," Luo said.
"This is my body."
"When I gave you a choice earlier, you pulled out the tube."
That was my choice.
"If you want to turn off the stone, tell me what will happen first."
"The flight route will be disrupted."
"What about the First Patient?"
"It might wake up, or it might disappear."
"Possible?"
No one has tried this in thirty-eight years.
"Then why don't you try it on yourself?"
"Someone has to finish this."
Law gave the recipe to Chopper.
"Find alternative medications."
I said I don't need it.
"I heard you."
"Luo."
"Don't shout."
Wa Tie'er himself against the bed to get up, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he knocked over the IV Stand.
Lami reached out and grabbed the frame, and the wheelchair slid forward half a foot.
Luo separated the two and put Wa Tie'er back on the bed.
"Your father was the same way," Wa Tie'er said.
Which way?
"When the patient said they didn't want treatment, he pretended not to hear."
So you've survived until now.
But he died.
Luo fastened the straps for him.
That's another matter.
Drake's communicator rang at that moment.
"The medical record cabinet has been opened."
Where are they?
They got away.
"Take what?"
"Medical record number seventeen, along with the transfer request for Dragon."
"Chase."
"The Stern access door is blocked; I can't get through."
The Medical Department's last landing craft began to detach from the White Swallow.
A cut cable remained at the hull joint, and the three infiltrators had returned to the boat, one of them carrying a metal box containing medical records.
Vegapunk attempted to lock onto the signal.
"They're uploading medical records!"
A missing line of record appeared on screens around the world.
[Patient No. 17's true identity has been confirmed]
[The starting point of the God Valley route is not at sea.]
Before the second line was finished, Luo's father's original audio track was forcibly interrupted.
"Don't let Luo save me unless he has already decided to remove the Throne from a living person's body."
The medical record box popped open on its own in the hands of the Medical Department staff.
At the very bottom, a test result is displayed.
[The True Starting Point: The Heart of the First Patient]
