Chapter 1626: Seeing Mr. Han Again
Seeing Mr. Han Again
Buzz——!!
At this moment, whether it was the Dragon-Strangling Warriors or the surrounding spectating citizens, they all widened their eyes in disbelief.
They only saw that the person and carriage originally standing there seemed to suddenly turn into a sky full of petals, exploding outward with a roar. Such a massive object actually just disappeared into thin air right under everyone's eyelids...
Even the carriage's wheel ruts came to an abrupt halt at their original location, as if it had truly evaporated out of nowhere.
"Dis... disappeared?"
"Divine Doctor!! Divine Doctor??! Where did the Divine Doctor go?!"
"The Dusk Society snatched the Divine Doctor away!! Then what about our illnesses?!"
"..."
The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile.
Snap——!
With a light snap of his fingers, his entire person directly turned into playing cards and dissipated in the wind.
Dusk Society, [Jack of Clubs].
...
Carriage cabin.
Queen of Diamonds, with his pale azure long hair tied back, slowly stood up.
"We have arrived, Mr. Han... Please."
Mr. Han was also somewhat surprised. After all, a second ago, the noisy shouts of the citizens could still be heard outside, but the next second, the surroundings instantly became quiet... Moreover, judging from the light filtering through the curtain, they seemed to have directly passed through the street and arrived at some unknown place.
Mr. Han lifted a corner of the curtain, only to see a narrow but empty and deserted Courtyard enter his line of sight.
"As expected of the Dusk Society... truly full of talents."
Mr. Han couldn't resist sighing in admiration.
After all, Mr. Han was the Pathway Chief of the Path of the Physician of this generation, a person who had seen the world. Yet even so, the Dusk Society could always bring him unexpected surprises... Leaving aside the surgeon and brain doctor who had saved his life, the Path of the Yellow Earth who came and went without a shadow right before his eyes, and the Path of the Actor who had just moved the carriage, would all be considered rare prodigies in the outside world.
In the entire world, probably only the Dusk Society, only that legendary Red King... could gather these prodigies together.
Mr. Han followed Queen of Diamonds's figure down the carriage, only to see a bare-chested exotic youth and a mysterious figure wearing a magician's tall hat already standing on both sides of the cabin. One had an arrogant gaze, the other was low-key and profound, just watching Mr. Han like this.
Just at this moment, Mr. Han seemed to remember something:
"Where is that disappointing student of mine?"
"Knocked out, on the roof." The exotic youth waved his hand casually.
Mr. Han breathed a slight sigh of relief. Following the three out of the yard, an empty street lay before them, and directly opposite was a Theater House that looked quite ordinary...
That Red King of the Dusk Society was actually hiding in such a Theater House?
Mr. Han was somewhat surprised. As he walked to the door, Queen of Diamonds to the side made a gesture of invitation:
"Mr. Han, Red King, My Lord, has been waiting for a long time."
"...Mhm."
Mr. Han simply tidied his clothes and pushed the door open to enter.
Accompanied by a slight creaking sound, the clean and tidy Theater House entered Mr. Han's line of sight. Empty audience seats, an unoccupied Stage, only the dim twilight outside the window spilling onto the stone brick floor of the Theater House, like a layer of white frost reflecting on it.
And at this moment, in the center of the Theater House, a figure draped in a Theatrical Robe with a red base and black patterns was sitting quietly by the table. His left hand rested on a broom, his right hand beside an Opera Script, gently blowing bursts of ripples across the hot tea in his hand.
Behind him, a youth draped in a cyan Theatrical Robe was looking at the entering Mr. Han with a complex gaze.
"I, Han, greet the Red King."
Compared to their last meeting, this time Mr. Han was more equal and humble. Although he was the Pathway Chief of the Path of the Physician of this generation, although he was Rank 8, without this man before him, a tragedy might have brewed just now... What's more, his own life was also saved by the other party.
Moreover, having already traveled through the three great Domains, Mr. Han had completely figured out the situation humanity was facing now. Although the man before him was temporarily residing in this low-key Theater House, the power behind him was enough to shake the entire era.
The vermilion earrings swayed silently as Chen Ling gently blew on the tea's surface. Those ruby-like eyes swirled gently, his gaze falling upon Mr. Han.
A faint smile surfaced on the corners of Chen Ling's mouth:
"Mr. Han, long time no see... How have you been lately?"
Mr. Han smiled bitterly. "After parting with you, I returned to the Tianshu Domain and recuperated for a period of time... But now the Plague is raging, and the people are in terrible suffering. I could no longer rest peacefully. After discussing it with Lord of the Red Dust, I still chose to come out of seclusion, wandering among the major Domains, doing my best to treat illnesses and save people."
"However... I've made a fool of myself in front of the Red King this time."
Chen Ling shook his head:
"It's not your fault. The situation in the Hidden Clouds Domain is different from the Tianshu and Spirit Void... The same methods might be applicable in Tianshu and Spirit Void, but here they will only invite disaster."
"Yes... I've already realized that." Mr. Han cupped his hands toward Chen Ling. "Regardless, thank you, Red King, for extending a helping hand. Otherwise... cough cough cough cough cough..."
As Mr. Han's weak coughing sounded, Chen Ling frowned slightly. He stepped forward step by step, those ruby-like eyes seemingly wanting to see through Mr. Han's body.
"Mr. Han, the aftereffects of your brain death hadn't completely healed in the first place, why are you still expending your Spiritual Power so frequently?"
After Mr. Han finished coughing, his face grew increasingly pale. He looked at Chen Ling and smiled bitterly:
"I... couldn't bear it."
Chen Ling naturally could understand Mr. Han's meaning. Previously, Mr. Han could endure the pain of death by a thousand cuts for the sake of the Domain's common people, almost losing his life... Now asking him to watch patients die right before his eyes one by one, how could he do it?
It was probably exactly because Mr. Han couldn't control himself and always wanted to save people that his student had set the rule of "only treating mild cases"...
Otherwise, Mr. Han would probably end up working himself to death alive in the Hidden Clouds Domain.
But the farce just now couldn't be entirely blamed on that student either. Even if they had announced the rule after arriving at the clinic, the out-of-control crowd would probably still have smashed the clinic, forcing Mr. Han to treat them. The Hidden Clouds Domain today was just like this.
"Then what are you planning to do afterwards?" Chen Ling pointed outside. "Are you still going to save people?"
Mr. Han thought about it, and ultimately still nodded:
"I still must... On the way here just now, I've already observed the people here."
"Although the majority of people are already terminally ill, there are still some robust young people who only have mild cases... Curing them won't take much effort for me, and right now is exactly when manpower is needed. Having more labor is also a good thing."
