Chapter 996: Dean

Lu Mian thought of the nursing assistants at Dawn Hospital he had encountered before and the situations he had observed during his several visits to Dawn Hospital, feeling that those who frequently entered and exited the underground of Dawn Hospital might truly no longer count as human.

Compared to this, what he cared more about was that the underground section of Dawn Hospital was about to finish its "renovation."

When that time comes, what changes will appear?

What does this symbolize?

Amidst his swirling thoughts, Lu Mian wished he could go and blow up the underground of Dawn Hospital right now to end it once and for all.

Unfortunately, not to mention whether he had the ability to break into the underground of Dawn Hospital and thoroughly blow it up, the mere fact that the above-ground part of Dawn Hospital was currently still considered normal, with many patients and ordinary medical staff coming and going, made him afraid to act rashly.

It was impossible to blow up the underground section without the above-ground area being affected!

That would evolve into a full-blown terrorist attack, causing Lu Mian to be rejected by the dream's main consciousness to the greatest extent, and it would be highly probable that he would be unable to enter again later.

Think of a way to make Dawn Hospital stop outpatient services for a few days and transfer the hospitalized patients? This is difficult... Lu Mian looked at Lü Yong'an and deliberated before saying:

"Are there still corpses waiting for 'rebirth' in the underground morgue?"

"Not for the moment. No one has sent any corpses needing 'rebirth' over the past two days," Lü Yong'an answered truthfully.

After Zarathustra and Mr. Cui were kicked out of the dream, the corresponding matters stopped? This shows we did a good job... Theoretically speaking, the Celestial Worthy should have more than just these few subordinates, and should have found a way or medium for subordinates to enter the dream city... The others were kicked out long ago, just like the Major Arcana card holders and the former holders of the Lucky Coin? That's right, there's no reason the Celestial Worthy only recently had subordinates who could enter, and no reason that only the Celestial Worthy could kick people out in the past while Mr. Fool couldn't... Lu Mian nodded slightly and changed the question:

"Who is the current dean of Dawn Hospital?"

He was not afraid of being suspected by Lü Yong'an for asking this, because he had asked Xu Xinyang before, and had also secretly asked Green, and Green, a child of the "Great Mother," didn't know either.

"You don't know?" Lü Yong'an looked at Lu Mian's face in surprise.

She then said to Green:

"You didn't tell the Son of God?"

Green shook his head:

"I don't know either. No one has told me."

Lü Yong'an was stunned for a moment, revealing a look of realization:

"It's normal that you don't know. But it doesn't matter. The previous dean has already left. Not knowing who it is doesn't affect anything. The new dean will arrive in a few days."

"Who is the new dean?" Green helped Lu Mian ask this question.

Lü Yong'an shook her head:

"It's not clear yet. We'll know when they arrive. Perhaps it will be a surprise."

A surprise? I'm afraid it will be a shock for us... Lu Mian said "Hmm":

"Have you been to places in the underground area other than the morgue?"

He wasn't trying to pry the specific situation of Dawn Hospital's underground section from Lü Yong'an, but intended to use the other party's answer to judge whether Beyonders possessing the "Great Mother's" gift could enter the non-morgue areas of the underground section without being too frequent.

"I have, but I can't go deep, I can't go to the second underground floor." Lü Yong'an didn't think there was anything wrong with the Son of God asking this; after all, the underground section of Dawn Hospital didn't belong solely to the "Great Mother," as other great existences also exerted influence.

Even the children of the "Great Mother" can't go to the second underground floor? What's there? Lu Mian nodded thoughtfully and said:

"Are the Mother Tree's believers also doing certain things?"

As a Son of God of the "Great Mother," he had to appear a bit less respectful toward other existences.

"Yes, but I don't know what it is." Lü Yong'an took out her phone and said with a smile, "Son of God, shall we add each other on WeChat? If I discover any problems in other areas of the underground later, I will immediately tell you."

She really knows how to get things done... Lu Mian let Lü Yong'an scan his WeChat QR code.

The other party's WeChat name was her real name.

Lu Mian didn't rush to flip through Lü Yong'an's Moments, and said as if casually:

"Have you found Gidas?"

Gidas was the suspected real name of "Abscessed Severed Hand," a remnant thought in Omebella's corpse had once shouted this name at Lu Mian.

Lu Mian was trying to test whether the children of the "Great Mother" had heard of Gidas.

"Not yet." Lü Yong'an lowered her head, "Mother is very disappointed."

Gidas really is closely related to the "Great Mother"... Lu Mian stopped while he was ahead and didn't ask further.

Seeing this, Green asked respectfully:

"Son of God, you are on the rotating night shift starting tomorrow. If you don't want to work it, I can help you find a reason to switch to the morning shift."

"Just the night shift." Lu Mian didn't choose to switch.

In this way, his activity time during the day and evening could be effectively increased.

Then, he glanced at the bright moon in the high sky and said to Green and Lü Yong'an:

"Go back."

"Yes, Son of God!" Lü Yong'an and Green responded in unison.

Lu Mian didn't watch them leave and "teleported" away first.

After a quarter of an hour, his figure appeared again in this hidden corner, and Green and Lü Yong'an were already gone.

Only then did Lu Mian take out his phone and flip through Lü Yong's Moments.

This obstetrician director of Dawn Hospital's Moments basically shared knowledge about obstetrics and gynecology, things about being sent banners of gratitude, Dawn Hospital's achievements, and the situation of her own children; there was nothing that made Lu Mian's eyes light up.

Because the other party had set it to be visible only for the last month, Lu Mian had to return to the top of the Moments and look at the background settings and personal signature.

The background setting was a blurry figure holding an infant, and the personal signature was:

"Be the guardian deity of women and children."

Everything is very consistent with her identity and essence... Lu Mian put away his phone and "teleported" into Li Keji's ward.

Li Keji was not surprised by the return of this beautiful woman, and looking at her, he asked hesitantly:

"Do you really want to abort it?"

With the growth of the fetus, his maternal radiance seemed to have become even richer.

Lu Mian smiled:

"You should have already felt the crazy extraction of your flesh and spirituality by the evil god's offspring, right?"

"Yes." Li Keji nodded honestly.

Lu Mian continued:

"And don't you want to see what innovative traits will appear from the crossbreeding of the evil god's offspring and the mushroom?"

He was now very capable of grasping Li Keji's obsession and weakness.

This is the "Instigator."

Li Keji's eyes lit up immediately:

"Okay, let's start!"

Could you hesitate a little so I can feel that your maternal radiance is real? Lu Mian muttered to himself, walked to Li Keji's bedside, extended his right palm, and said in a voice that was neither high nor low:

"It will be quite painful, bear with it."

"Okay." Li Keji extended his arm, letting it hang in mid-air.

The mycelium threads hanging down from the jellyfish-like mushroom flew over quickly, wrapped around Li Keji's arm, and their tips pierced into it.

"It has a certain anesthetic ability." Li Keji introduced to Lu Mian happily.

Lu Mian didn't speak, letting his palm burn with quiet and evil black flames.

He then pressed his right palm onto the surface of Li Keji's stomach, and the "Witch's" black flames drilled in at once.

Li Keji's relatively bulging stomach suddenly began to squirm, as if something was struggling with all its might.

Accompanied by this struggle, Li Keji's face twisted slightly; even though he had received anesthesia, he experienced unspeakable pain.

And the "Witch's" black flames gradually dimmed and thinned; even if Lu Mian continued to infuse them, he couldn't truly burn away the evil thing in Li Keji's stomach.

Fortunately, Lu Mian never thought from the beginning that the "Witch's" black flames could achieve the goal, because one of his goals was something that the "Witch's" black flames, which only burned spirituality and life, could not achieve.

He used the "Witch's" black flames first mostly to probe.

Suddenly, the quiet black flames in Lu Mian's palm became restless, as if madness, violence, and destruction were being generated!

"Flame of Destruction"!

With the infusion of the "Flame of Destruction," the clothing on Li Keji's stomach suddenly burned up, as did his skin and flesh.

The fetus in his stomach pushed upward, as if wanting to escape the burning of the "Flame of Destruction," but it couldn't break free from the mother's constraints for the moment, and finally collapsed back down.

Almost at the same time, Lu Mian heard illusory wailing and screaming, feeling as if a green wilderness had appeared around him, where every flower and every blade of grass first grew vigorously, overflowing with life, only to be swallowed by the black flames of a prairie fire.

"Ah!"

Li Keji also screamed; the pain of his abdomen being burned through was something most people couldn't endure.

However, Lu Mian had long used the "Bottle of Fiction" to seal this ward, letting Li Keji's voice only faintly leak out a little.

This was not something worth caring about in the psychiatric ward.

Finally, the fetus in Li Keji's stomach was burned until only ashes remained, and these ashes were also affected by the convection wind brought by the high temperature of the flames, swirling and flying up, flying into mid-air, and scattering all around.

"Thoroughly cleared." Lu Mian stepped back, preparing to take out a healing potion for Li Keji to take.

Li Keji looked at his charred abdomen, enduring the pain, and said with extreme disappointment:

"It was all burned away? Nothing left?"

"I only wanted to burn its life and spirituality at the beginning, leaving the corpse, but as you saw, that was useless." Lu Mian explained sincerely.

"Sigh..." Li Keji gestured, letting the jellyfish-like mushroom's mycelium move to his abdomen, absorbing the charred parts and promoting the growth of flesh.

It seems I don't need to provide treatment... Lu Mian took a deep look at the jellyfish-like mushroom that had descended.

After Li Keji's wound healed and the pain eased, Lu Mian nodded slightly and said:

"Rest more these two days, and after that, please speed up the degree of research. My plant-like friend might not be able to wait too long."

"I can restart tomorrow!" Li Keji reignited his passion for the experiment.

"Thank you." Lu Mian left here politely.

Returning to the rented apartment in Xinhong Residential Area, he lay on the bed and entered a deep sleep.

In his muddled state, he heard crying.

That crying was calling "Mom," "Mom," the voice filled with intense pain, unwillingness, and resentment.
