Forensic Doctor Sun Buyuan

"They're a bit older than me, so if you think about it that way, I'm still a kid."

Chu Tianshu turned around in his chair, then got up, walked to the corner, and opened the refrigerator.

The refrigerator was almost entirely filled with various drinks. He grabbed a can of green tea, sat back in his chair, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it down.

After drinking half the bottle, he remembered to check the production date; it was recently produced.

"Your office is nicely decorated, with so many drinks."

"This is specially designed to entertain guests like you. There are also tea sets and tea leaves in that cabinet over there. If you like tea, you can get some of those."

Helai smiled and said, "If you're interested in offices, I can set one up like this for you."

"Forget it, I only come here occasionally for a peaceful time. But to actually have my own office and then hide there to enjoy leisure, what kind of life is that? I might as well just go home and play."

Chu Tianshu took two more sips of his drink, and then, with a touch of emotion, he spoke.

"Why is it that you're going abroad so soon after you get back? Last time it was Busan, and this time it's the Golden Triangle. Are you not going to go straight to the Americas next time you come back?"

So, it turns out he was even more carefree in the other world.

Most of the time, he would stroll Denglai Mountain Market, teach his apprentices in the valleys, and practice his skills himself.

"Last time it was just you who suddenly wanted to go to Busan to take a look. This time there's something going on there, and the entire observation team is going together."

Helai, "This matter is still unresolved. Even if you go, you'll probably just be sitting there holding things up most of the time. In other words, you could just sit there scrolling through your phone."

As he spoke of the black and white photograph, a hint of envy appeared on his face. He raised both hands and rubbed his face.

"After all, you're not in charge of anything within our organization; you can help out occasionally and come and go as you please."

"We're the ones who're always on the go, constantly traveling for work, and even when we're in the office, there's always a mountain of tasks waiting for us."

Perhaps, seeing an old friend in a slightly worse situation than oneself, but not too badly, can be a little amusing.

Chu Tianshu's lips curled slightly, and he quickly drank more beverage to cover it up.

"Think of it another way: it's not that something happened in our family, but that something happened outside. That makes us feel a little more at ease."

He said it casually, but upon reflection, he found it to be quite true and couldn't help but nod in agreement with his own words.

Helai smiled and said, "Indeed, since you're willing to go, there's one more person in the observation team I'd like to introduce to you."

Chu Tianshu had already heard someone approaching the office door, and just then turned his head to look.

A short, thin man in his fifties or sixties stood at the door. He had thick hair with some silver on his forehead, but his back was very straight. He wore a light blue shirt, black trousers, and a white lab coat.

The old man had a ruddy complexion, a clean-shaven beard, thin, black eyebrows, and a mole on his right temple with a single white hair growing from it.

Despite the mole, it didn't detract from the seriousness of his face; instead, it added a touch of good fortune.

It has a serious feel, yet also a touch of warmth.

"This is Dr. Sun Buyuan. He worked for us for many years and is very reliable. He had already retired, but he accepted our re-employment offer."

Helai introduced, "This is Chu Tianshu, our advisor."

I've heard about Mr. Chu's deeds quite a few times.

Sun Buyuan walked in, nodded in greeting, and added, "Sun Buyuan used to be a forensic doctor."

Chu Tianshu put down the tea, stood up, extended a hand, and smiled, "Chu Tianshu, you used to be a witch doctor, and you still are."

Sun Buyuan was taken aback, shook hands with him, and a hint of a smile seemed to appear in his eyes.

Haha, it seems you two get along quite well.

Helai chimed in, "Dr. Sun is incredibly knowledgeable. He has read extensively from various schools of thought on medicine and medical practices, understanding their strengths, weaknesses, origins, and characteristics. Within our organization, he is truly a living encyclopedia."

"Technical information differs from ordinary information. Dr. Sun possesses sufficient observational skills and applies knowledge flexibly in reality, a skill that has stood the test of time."

Sun Buyuan wasn't overly modest, nodding and saying, "I can serve as an advisor on magical techniques for this observation team's trip abroad."

The expression in the black and white photograph is solemn.

"That's not just a little bit."

Southeast Asia has always been a transportation hub connecting two continents and two oceans. From the 14th and 15th centuries until the last century, there were still large-scale immigrants entering the region.

"The Dharma Lineage over there was originally very complex; it could be considered a sacred place for unorthodox and heretical practices. Since the beginning of this century, the Spirit Realm has become increasingly intertwined with reality."

"Many others, feeling they have witnessed the great tide of the times, but finding the situation in their own countries too stable to fully utilize their talents, are flocking to areas like the Golden Triangle."

Chu Tianshu heard this.

I recalled seeing some observations and reports about the "New York Incident" on the internal website.

As a result, sorcerers from various countries preferred to travel to those unstable areas.

But if it's a barren land that's been ravaged by war for years and is now like a ruin, the risks are high, and they feel that life there isn't comfortable enough.

Therefore, places that are highly modernized and were originally relatively stable, but have recently experienced unrest, have become their preferred destinations.

Before New York, although the large Overflow Zone had been dismantled, various smaller Overflow Zone still appeared frequently, and many valuable items flowed into the black market.

A large number of sorcerers from the Western Hemisphere flocked there.

The recent chaos over there isn't just related to public protests, but also to these sorcerers who resort to smuggling and using all sorts of bizarre methods at the slightest provocation.

By extension, the Golden Triangle has clearly also experienced a similar situation.

"Thinking about it this way, I really do need someone like Dr. Sun by my side..."

With Chu Tianshu's cultivation level, he could forcefully break through the vast majority of spells in the world by relying on his foundation.

But if it's someone who doesn't intend to confront him head-on, he might not be confident of defeating them with a flick of his finger.

Taking the Ghost Gate Witch Doctor as an example, there are still several spells whose operating principles he cannot understand.

The Ghost Gate Witch Doctor is merely an insignificant branch of the Shamanic Physician Lineage the thousands of lineages in this world.

Consider the Youdu Edict; it has been passed down from ancient times in this world. Its profound cultural heritage and wide-ranging influence should not be underestimated.

With Sun Buyuan by my side, if we encounter any unorthodox magic, as long as he can point out one or two characteristics, that will be enough.

Chu Tianshu would be much more decisive in breaking through the barriers.

After Helai's words, Sun Buyuan's expression also became more solemn.

"I see."

He looked at Chu Tianshu, considered for a moment, and decided to give a more detailed self-introduction.

"In the parlance of the old society, there are four groups among the lowest of the low, and they are the most resented."

"Corpse slayers, paper craftsmen, grave weepers, coffin makers. As the saying goes, life and death are of utmost importance, and these four professions are most deeply connected with the word 'death.' Although they are resented by others, the magical arts they have developed are also extremely unique."

"My original major was the Corpse Stitcher Lineage, which allows me to observe corpses as if they were human, and to observe the human world as if they were corpses. Therefore, when I survey all the schools, it's as if I'm observing the unique characteristics of each school from the perspective of death..."

He had already witnessed Chu Tianshu's composure and knew that although the man looked young, he should remain calm even if he were to work in this kind of industry.

To everyone's surprise, Chu Tianshu's expression changed.

They've become more enthusiastic.

"Sewing up a corpse, that must mean they have a lot of knowledge about the body."

Chu Tianshu shook Sun Buyuan's hand again, "Back in Busan, we had some extraordinary bodies that we should have brought back to China. Now that I think about it, they should still be at Grotto-Heaven."

"This time, Dr. Sun will have the opportunity to examine it carefully. If he has any insights, please don't hesitate to discuss them with us."
