But right at that mont.
A deep, resonant voice suddenly ca from outside the main hall.
"Is anyone there? What's going on inside? I found so docunts on the street outside the plaza, signed with your hospital director's na. Are these sothing Director Ke Lai lost?"
The next mont.
A Night Doctor wearing a plague doctor mask just like the others phased through the wall and entered. He was holding a stack of docunts. The lenses on his plague doctor mask instantly reflected the group of Night Doctors gathered together and watching the spectacle in the main hall.
The group of Night Doctors were taken aback for a mont, all turning their heads to look.
"Director's docunts? Isn't the Director still with the Matriarch right now?"
That Night Doctor scanned the horrific scene inside the main hall, which looked like a dismbernt site. He paused, then shook his head and said:
"Director Ke Lai left the Matriarch's place a while ago. Hasn't he co back yet?"
Everyone was stunned.
Lynn, who was focused on performing the surgery, was also stunned. He subconsciously looked up and said:
"Ke Lai?"
Why does that na sound so familiar?
It seems like it appeared once or twice in the system prompts just now...
That Night Doctor walked over, handed the docunts in his hand to one of the other Night Doctors, then glanced around. He coughed a couple of tis, gave a sidelong glance, and said in a low voice:
"Isn't your director currently piloting a positive image initiative? How co you're performing surgery in public again?"
One of the Night Doctors who took the docunts also coughed and said:
"Special circumstances call for special treatnt. For thousands of years, the tradition has always been to treat patients on the spot when we see them. Now with all these new rules and regulations, it's honestly a bit awkward, isn't it?"
That Night Doctor was left speechless.
"Forget it, your departnt's affairs are your own to handle. I've delivered the docunts. See if these are actually your director's things or not."
That Night Doctor wiped away a cold sweat.
Several Night Doctors quickly examined the docunts, confirming that the handwriting indeed belonged to their Director Ke Lai.
"Where did you find them?"
"Right next to your plaza."
The group of Night Doctors imdiately looked puzzled.
Right outside the plaza? Could it be the Director has already returned? But no one saw him!
They turned their heads, scanning the area a few tis, but didn't spot their director's figure.
How strange.
Lynn was also drawn to those docunts, feeling a vague sense of familiarity. He subconsciously took one to look at, hesitantly saying:
"The Director's na is Ke Lai?"
The surrounding Night Doctors all nodded, smiling. "Yes, it seems this is Good Doctor, sir's first visit. Ke Lai is indeed our director's code na."
Lynn was stunned.
Then he subconsciously flipped through the system's prompt log.
Then his gaze instantly snapped down to the old man lying beneath him, whose back was covered in carved runes.
Lynn stared wide-eyed.
He had a very, very bad suspicion.
Could it be...
"Everyone, I don't know if I should say this..." Lynn coughed.
"What?"
Lynn rubbed his temples and said, "I think I actually did knock out an old man earlier. Before I knocked him out, the old man in my hands seed to be holding these exact docunts..."
Everyone was instantly stunned.
"..."
A brief silence.
[Ding! Eclipse's SAN -20!]
[Ding! Albisa's SAN -20!]
[Ding! Deep Pit Developer's SAN -20!]
Accompanied by the plumting SAN values floating above the heads of the surrounding Night Doctors, the group imdiately realized sothing and all panicked at once.
"Where is he?! Where's the person you tied up?!"
Lynn closed his eyes and pointed at the half-operated-on old man who had been surrounded and watched by the crowd for over ten minutes.
"This is him..."
Everyone (ΩДΩ)!!
This scare nearly caused their brain clots to shoot out in fright.
What kind of joke is this?!
Everyone imdiately scrambled to flip the old man over, finally seeing the face of the old man who was currently (((;
꒪ꈊ꒪;
))) and had foad at the mouth all over the floor.
Everyone was horrified.
"Director! It really is the Director!!"
"Director, how could it be you?! We're sorry! We really didn't recognize you with your butt exposed like that!"
"Quick! Quick, get the antidote for the Director!"
...
Several hours later.
In the dark underground hall.
The Inverted Angel closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and stared seriously and intently at Lynn, who was sitting on the floor opposite her.
She said with her eyes closed, "Director Ke Lai has already given a vivid and detailed report about the situation over there."
"Lynn, you're really sothing. I sent you over for an internship less than half a day ago, and you almost 'operated' on the director himself."
"And that positive image pilot project we were running over there... after this incident, our Night Doctors' notorious reputation has undoubtedly spread even further."
Lynn: "..."
The Inverted Angel opened her eyes and helplessly twitched her fingers. That stack of docunts floated over in front of him.
"See for yourself. Director Ke Lai wrote furiously, producing a ten-thousand-word soft essay to file a complaint against you. Why did you have to pick your direct superior to operate on, of all people? And you had dozens of people watching..."
The Inverted Angel shook her head.
"Other people at least turn off the lights."
"..."
The Inverted Angel glanced at him and said, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Lynn thought for a mont, gathered his thoughts, took out a prepared script, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I deeply recognize my mistake and feel extrely guilty for the error I committed during my work. In order to live up to the organization's trust, I will definitely deepen my ideological education from now on and actively implent it in all aspects. With a spirit of solid hard work and keeping my head down to work diligently, I will strive to beco a..."
The Inverted Angel maintained a holy expression on her face, but the corner of her eye was twitching wildly.
"..."
"Enough."
The Inverted Angel's mouth twitched. She closed her eyes and said:
"No need to read your little soft essay. I just received the latest news. The Colossus's creation has been unearthed. Two branch sects of the chanical Cult and the Flesh and Blood Cult have already erupted into large-scale conflict in the western frontier of the Dark World. I've already dispatched the first batch of Night Doctors there urgently."
Hearing this, Lynn imdiately looked up and said, "They've already started fighting?"
The Inverted Angel nodded slowly and said, "However, it's only the first probing conflict. Both sides are continuously reinforcing their troops. After our people establish a base, you can follow a few seniors to go and gain so experience."
"War is no child's play. Although we Night Doctors have always remained neutral, and it's an unwritten rule that warring parties won't specifically target us, accidents can always happen. If they really go after you, there's nothing you can do."
Lynn imdiately thought of the Red Cross on Earth.
But clearly, the wars here are much more brutal than those on Earth.
"When can I set off then?" Lynn asked hopefully.
The Inverted Angel said slowly, "I already said it will be in a few more days. During this ti, just stay in Nightfall City peacefully for your internship. The Matriarch has already reassigned you to a new departnt. There are fewer patients there;
its advantage is its peace and quiet. It's definitely a place very suitable for you."
Lynn was imdiately delighted and asked, "What departnt?"
