The string of titles left Doctor Linst a little dazed.
Only after a full two or three seconds did the doctor nod in confirmation.
"Yes, that's the gentleman."
Then the doctor paused for another four or five seconds before asking with considerable hesitation-
"Can... can he be trusted?"
"Did he foresee your death?"
Eli looked alarmed.
"No!
When I worked as an Arena Doctor, I had a chance to meet him. After witnessing his miraculous abilities, I instinctively asked him whether the dead could be brought back to life, and then..."
At this point, a bitter smile appeared on the doctor's face.
Eli saw that bitter smile.
The lookout who moonlighted as an information broker forcibly suppressed his curiosity.
Since this concerned Mrs. Linst, the lookout and part-time information broker naturally understood that, as an outsider, he had no right to pry. Yet his curiosity left him itching for answers.
Fortunately, the doctor did not keep him in suspense.
"He told me plainly that the dead could be brought back to life!
But he warned me not to attempt it!
Because...
I wouldn't know who I had actually brought back!"
At this point, the doctor's face was full of conflict and unease, and his eyes remained fixed on Eli.
The lookout and part-time information broker immediately understood what Doctor Linst had meant by his earlier question.
The doctor could not accept it.
Of course.
The person who had died was the one he loved most. How could he possibly accept it?
If Eli were in his place, he would not be able to accept it either.
But-
"If anyone in all of South Los can truly bring the dead back to life, then Arthur Credos, the Medium, is the only answer.
He's an expert.
Or rather...
A true master."
