"Holy shit?"
His eyes widened in delight. "My ass is healed? Doctor, those are some miraculous hands!"
"Okay, okay, everyone knows you're healed. You healed way too fast! Get your pants back on already!"
Ji Xue regretfully put away her dagger, then kicked her own brother in the ass. "Remember to send a banner to North Mountain District later, thanking Proctology Doctor Ji for his wisdom and courage in saving your ass!"
After Ji Liu put his protective suit back on, Ji Jue swept the hardened mercury-tin foil over the fingerprints. Wisps of black vapor immediately rose from the suit and fell into the mercury, joining the contamination previously extracted from the flesh. It turned into a distinct five-fingered palm print that kept wriggling, as though trying to break free and escape.
After some thought, Ji Jue did not throw the thing away. He placed layer upon layer of seals on it, cutting off all connection. The hardened mercury bead returned to stillness and showed no further movement.
Just like that, he put it into his pocket.
It was a thing, after all. He had never seen one before.
It might come in handy.
After witnessing Doctor Ji cure the ailment with a stroke of his blade and perform such miraculous healing, everyone in the carriage looked at him with even greater enthusiasm.
In an environment saturated with Sin Corruption pollution, having a teammate who could purge contamination at any time and eliminate future risks—while also providing equipment repairs and consumable supplies...
What was that?
That was a fucking loving foster father!
Anything the Third Department could do, he could do. Anything the Third Department could not do, he could fucking do too. Even if Embers' combat power was not that great, when had this team ever lacked combat power?
