Don't Argue, Listen to Some Gossip

Cheng Shi forced a stiff smile, took a half step back, and turned to ask the sect leader behind him:

"Master, you're not going to tell me that this is what you call a 'sick' person?"

"Yes."

Berios' tone remained cold, but Cheng Shi could tell that his Indifference tone was not as unwavering as it had been on the tower. It was mixed with many ambiguous emotions, making it extremely complex.

When the patient's family confirmed the patient's identity, Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, the things we've been treating lately are getting weirder and weirder. This isn't right. If this keeps up, who knows what kind of things we'll have to treat next?

Scorpio recovered from his the First shock. After taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed his fear and asked in a low voice:

"Who is she?"

Berios took a few steps forward, carefully placing his staff on the ground without making a sound, and even his cold tone softened slightly.

"Golis, the greatest worshipper in the Dol Federation, the most devout Believer, the patron 'god' of Dolgo D Birth, and..."

My dearest wife.

"???"

"..."

The two players were dumbfounded.

Ah?

Whose wife?

Cheng Shi blinked frantically, watching the bearded man and tentacles making intimate gestures by the lake, his cerebellum suddenly overloaded and started smoking.

He really wanted to ask:

Your Excellency, your wife and your partner are having intimate and intimate moments, how can you remain so calm?

The three of you...

Just as he was wondering if the scenario he had just imagined was a bit too conservative, Lisfir by the lake spoke up angrily.

You don't deserve it!

You are the one who made Golis into what she is now, and you dare to say you love her!

I am the person who loves her the most in this world!

You seduced her with those filthy and vile Faith, leading her to marry you. She should have been mine! My wife!

Berios, you seduced her, used her, and tormented her. Your hypocrisy is utterly disgusting!

"Golis should hang you up like those Uma stray dogs, suspended atop the church tower, waiting for your even more disgusting Lord of Grace to come and rescue you!"

Lisfir continued his frantic output, each word making Cheng Shi's eyes gleam even brighter.

I never expected that such a huge secret was hidden beneath what seemed like a transactional treatment!

A shocking revelation about the highest levels of Dolgo D!

Cheng Shi was too excited. After all, the world would be no fun without gossip, so he quietly shut his mouth, stood obediently to the side, and listened Ear, trying not to miss a single word.

Scorpio was the same, but as an alarm bell, he didn't fully immerse himself in listening to gossip. Instead, he reserved half of his energy to observe his surroundings and find a way out.

He had already used up his chance to deduce the future, and the Assassin, having no backup plan, was extremely afraid of losing his life.

Berios felt no remorse for the bearded man's scolding. He leaned on his staff and walked over to the pile of tentacles, gently stroking the sticky, uneven surface of the tentacle skin, just like Lisfir had done.

"You don't understand her. This is her choice, and I'm just respecting it."

"Dog shit!"

Unrealistic fantasies should be stopped!

You don't love her at all; you're hurting her!

"It's all your fault, Berios! If Golis is dead, you'll be the one who killed her!"

Berios listened to the bearded man's words, a strange emotion flashed in his eyes. He looked at his wife and smiled slightly, but then quickly returned to his Indifference demeanor as a religious leader.

"When are you ready to wait until the healing can begin?"

Cheng Shi was startled, snapping out of his reverie and rubbing his hands together with a dry laugh:

"I'm sorry, but the doctor-patient relationship is tense these days. If you patients' families don't vent your frustrations, then we Doctor can't really start either."

The other two definitely wouldn't understand this jumbled mess of words, but the bearded Lisfir didn't care. He glared fiercely at Cheng Shi and said in a harsh voice:

"Now that I've brought you here, you have no chance to refuse, kid. Heal her and you can have everything you want. If you can't heal her, you know what will happen to you!"

Cheng Shi twitched his lips and said, "That's not what you said before we came."

"It's too late to regret it now. Countless followers of evil gods like you are buried at the bottom of this lake. No one can escape from here."

Of course, I would prefer that you heal her and then leave this place with us.

I hate it here too, I hate this dark, damp, and nauseating underground!

Cheng Shi didn't really care about the bearded man's harsh words, because with the Dice in his hand, he could leave at any time, and these threats wouldn't frighten him.

But he still obediently stepped forward to examine Golis's "body" because Cheng Shi's mindset had changed. He had gone from a player seeking cooperation to speed things up to a bystander who wanted to dig into history and hear some juicy gossip.

He was so curious about what had happened between the three of them that he wondered if Golis was Berios's wife, and if she was Tullatin's mother.

Your family is quite unique. The father is a cult leader, the mother is an octopus, and the child is pregnant with her own child. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.

But the moment Cheng Shi Cheng Shi reached out his hand to Golis's tentacles, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he froze on the spot.

The bearded man noticed Cheng Shi's unusual behavior and immediately stepped forward, anxiously asking, "What's wrong? Can it be cured?!"

Is it curable?

That's hard to say, because of her symptoms...

Hiss--

It looks familiar.

Cheng Shi narrowed his eyes, thinking of a "person" he had dealt with not long ago.

[Desolate Walker]!

At this moment Golis felt to him like the [Desolate Walker], a huge shell filled with Divine Majesty power but devoid of soul control!

It was a very vague feeling. If Cheng Shi hadn't fought the Desolate Walker before, he wouldn't have been able to sense this state where flesh and blood had nurtured Divine Power.

But how did she evolve Divine Majesty power from her own flesh and blood?

She has merged with Divinity?

How were they combined?

Cheng Shi frowned slightly, ignoring the bearded man's urging and questioning. After checking several tentacles, she finally confirmed that it was not an illusion; there were indeed remnants of the [Birth] power in her flesh and blood.

But this power was strange, fragmented and weak, and not outwardly apparent, so when I saw this huge tentacle lashing out yesterday, I didn't feel anything unusual.

Oh no, the pre-diagnosis failed. It seems we really need to ask someone with squinty eyes.

But Cheng Shi was never one to be shy. He coughed twice, turned to look at Scorpio, and said:

"Ahem, well, let's go and invite some experts for a consultation. The matter is rather complicated and may require a joint surgery. I might not be able to handle it all by myself."

"..." Although Scorpio had expected this, he still deeply admired Cheng Shi's shamelessness.

He nodded, looked at Berios and Lisfir, and indicated that he needed to leave for a moment.

Berios's gaze sharpened, and he turned to look at the bearded man.

The bearded man clearly didn't want to leave his beloved Golis, but he had no choice but to endure it in order to pay for Golis's medical treatment.

"You better not be lying to me, or I'll uproot you all from Dolgo D!"

"Quickly, lead the way and bring them back right away! Let's go!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Scorpio and led him to the ground.

After the two left, Berios looked at Cheng Shi with icy eyes and said:

"You can ask me anything now."
