When Shigaraki saw Uraraka Shige throw something at him, he intended to activate his 'Quirk' to Decay the unknown object to pieces.

Fortunately, Uraraka Shige made timely amends, and fortunately, Shigaraki reacted quickly enough; otherwise, he might have had to say goodbye to his 'father' forever.

If that's really the case, then Shigaraki's already somewhat abnormal state will definitely suffer another blow, and it's possible that he might even turn further into the dark side.

However, the reality is quite different...

Kurogiri was clearly taken aback when he heard Uraraka Shige's words. Although his entire head appeared to be made of smoke, making it difficult to discern his expression, the surprise in Kurogiri's heart was still conveyed through the black smoke swirling around him.

However, Kurogiri didn't say anything about it. Instead, 'AFO' spoke up after Uraraka Shige threw out the severed hand and said those words.

"Uraraka Shige, go and treat your injuries first."

Then he turned to the Kurogiri and gave the order:

"Kurogiri, take him to the Doctor."

It was clear that she intended to say something to Shigaraki alone.

According to Uraraka Shige's speculation, perhaps 'AFO' intends to give Shigaraki some guidance? After all, although losing this severed arm was a heavy blow to Shigaraki, it has now been found by Uraraka Shige. In this way, this heavy blow can become an opportunity for motivation, and may even promote Shigaraki's transformation.

For 'AFO', facilitating Shigaraki's transformation is clearly a very important and important matter to him.

Uraraka Shige had basically accomplished what he wanted to do with the severed hand, and due to 'AFO', some of his original plans were obviously impossible to implement. He didn't believe that 'AFO' had gone to great lengths to cultivate the current Shigaraki, and would tolerate him finding an opportunity to exert any influence.

It's important to understand that, from certain perspectives and levels, the mind and psychology are perhaps the easiest things to influence and damage...

Uraraka Shige was teleported directly to the so-called "Doctor" by the Kurogiri through her 'Quirk'...

It was a rather cramped room that didn't look very clean or tidy, resembling a makeshift clinic.

And there was something else that surprised Uraraka Shige quite a bit.

This 'Doctor' is not the 'Doctor' who took care of 'AFO's' body in the original work, but a 'Doctor' whom Uraraka Shige has never met before, who secretly provides various paid treatments to the 'enemies'.

Clearly, Uraraka Shige overestimated his importance, or rather, he overestimated the trust that Shigaraki and the 'AFO' group placed in him.

However, he certainly wouldn't say anything or express any dissatisfaction because of this... At least he believed that Shigaraki and Kurogiri wouldn't bring him to a 'Doctor' who was completely ignorant of medicine.

At least after he removed the severed hand and before he did anything else, this would never happen.

The Doctor seemed to have witnessed the Kurogiri being transmitted via 'Quirk' more than once.

"They're here? Surgery or amputation?"

The Doctor's voice was calm, yet tinged with a hint of joy, which subconsciously reminded Uraraka Shige of a phrase...

"You've arrived? May I ask, sir, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

They're all equally casual and carefree...

It's just that when I Uraraka Shige's name again, I felt like cursing at her.

However, he ultimately didn't utter the insult.

Uraraka Shige was not familiar with this Doctor at all, so she didn't say much, but instead looked around at her surroundings.

As mentioned before, this place is rather cramped and doesn't look very clean or tidy; it's almost like an unlicensed clinic...

If we were to describe it in more detail, it would be something like...

From the center of the ceiling hangs an old, dim light bulb, covered by a rusty lampshade, serving as the operating light in the operating room.

In the middle, under the light bulb, is a white metal folding chair that is often seen when shaving. It is covered with dark leather, with bloodstains scattered on it. It has become smelly and black, and seems to have been used as an operating table.

On the metal armrests of the recliner, one after another, dark yellow rubber bands secured metal utensils that had lost their luster and looked rather unsettling. These utensils were covered with bits of skin flakes, nail clippings, and hair, left behind by some unknown guest.

The recliner was fixed to the ground. There were no floorboards or tiles on the ground; you could see the cold floor directly. It was covered with black patches here and there, and some of the patches even had greenish mold growing on them... which looked like dried bloodstains.

The Doctor, with his uneven, yellow teeth, sat on a metal-framed bed against the wall, wearing a blackened, yellowed, and shiny white coat, grinning at the Kurogiri.

... the more I look at it, the more uneasy I feel...

But the Kurogiri didn't seem to think so.

"Help him treat his wound."

However, she didn't choose either surgery or termination of the procedure; she simply calmly told the Doctor this.

Perhaps the tone was more like an order?

The Doctor didn't seem to have any opinions or suggestions, but nodded obediently and then turned his gaze to Uraraka Shige.

"Come, lie down."

The Doctor spoke in a rather warm tone, but uttered a statement that was anything but kind.

Uraraka Shige hesitated for a moment, but then trusted his own analysis and judgment, believing that the Kurogiri and 'AFO' would not harm him at this time, so he finally lay down on the recliner.

Then, Uraraka Shige, who was lying on the recliner, watched as the Doctor rummaged through his dirty and greasy white coat and pulled out four dark binding straps. He then tied his hands and feet to the armrests and legs of the metal recliner, securing them firmly in place.

This made Uraraka Shige's heart tremble slightly, and she shuddered...

'It should be... it shouldn't hurt me, right? I didn't give anything away, my disguise was flawless, it's definitely...'

Uraraka Shige told herself this over and over, trying to give herself a rudimentary form of self-suggestion.

It wasn't until Uraraka Shige saw the Doctor pull out several pieces of dark, foul-smelling cotton cloth and bandages from his white coat, and then forcefully rip open the bandages near his wound, causing it to reopen and splatter blood...

Finally, from that all-purpose white lab coat, he pulled out a black brick hammer and a slightly rusty metal chisel...

'... I guess so...'

Bang!~

"Aww~~~~!"
