Night fell quietly outside the window. In the banquet hall of the mansion, Su Xiao, Bainiu, Nilin, and Beni were sitting around the dining table.

Nilin, who has long wavy hair tied up, is sitting cross-legged on a wooden chair at the moment. Her lazy sitting posture, ladylikeness, table manners, etc. have nothing to do with her.

Nilin was very unhappy now. She could only watch her brother Bainiu, and Su Xiao and Beini across the table enjoying dinner, especially today there were several dishes that she liked.

"Eating is the most meaningless thing. Drinking nutrient-saturated liquid can meet your daily needs. You can drink it in a few seconds, which saves time. Time is life, so eating is a waste of life."

Nilin spoke, and after hearing this, Beni bit her straw and took a sip of the juice. Her little eyes seemed to say, what the elder sister said is true.

"Eating without speaking."

Su Xiao put down the noodle soup bowl and took the grilled lamb chops on the side.

"whispering sound."

Nilin dropped the tableware in her hands. She didn't love money, power, and had no interest in love. In addition to her special interest in studying how to make herself stronger, her second favorite hobby was eating. She even traveled to

Travel around the void and taste various delicacies.

Nilin would not feel the slightest anger if she stole Nilin's property, treasures, etc. In fact, if it was just property, she would sometimes be too lazy to pay attention to the thieves, but if they disturbed her enjoyment of the food, or caused trouble, it affected her enjoyment.

When she's in the mood for delicious food, she can be so cruel that it makes people laugh.

After the meal, the servants brought by Bainiu cleared the table, and Nilin sat there with her hands on her shoulders, feeling better.

Su Xiao put down the tea cup, picked up the alloy box next to the seat, and took out the detection equipment inside. He motioned to Nilin to put her right arm flat on the table, and then he fixed several lancets and adsorption devices on the opponent's arm.

, start to check the general situation of the other party.

The more he checked, the deeper Su Xiao's brows frowned. Seeing this, Bainiu opposite also frowned.

"Doctor, am I afraid I have a terminal illness?"

When Nilin opened her mouth, Bai Niu glared at her and told her to shut up.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't say anything. In fact, terminal diseases according to conventional judgments are really not as serious as Nilin's problem.

After careful inspection and sensing, Su Xiao discovered that Nilin's internal organs seemed to have been eaten by termites. If it weren't for the precious medicine, her strong physique, and Nilin's own will as strong as steel, she would have survived.

Not until now.

The injury caused by the Abyssal Dragon is like a disease that spreads. This injury is no longer a problem of worsening. It can assimilate cells and turn normal cells into "damaged cells".

These "damaged cells" have the characteristics of assimilation and division, and are more difficult to fight than cancer cells, because this is not a disease, but an essential assimilation and change. When all the cells of the injured person are assimilated into "damaged cells", this

Even if a person does not die, he will always be in pain and torture.

At this time, 90% of Nilin's body cells had turned into "damaged cells". The severe pain that invaded her all the time made it impossible for her to sleep and think calmly. She just became irritable. Or was it because of her strong self-control?

If you were someone else, you would have been hysterical and vented your anger on everything around you.

Bainiu was also injured by the Dragon of the Abyss, but he was in a different situation. His body was frighteningly strong. However, the dark blood of the Dragon of the Abyss eroded his heart and the origin of his strength. This was worse than "damaging cells".

"It's a lot more trouble."

Su Xiao's current alchemy attainments cannot solve the problem of White Bull. Whether he can solve it in the future, he himself doesn't know.

However, Su Xiao still has a way to deal with Nilin's injury. Although the "damaged cells" are tricky, they can be cured as long as the method is appropriate.

After checking this, Su Xiao felt suspicious. If it was just this level, with the power of White Bull, he should be able to find a famous doctor to cure this problem.

"Has your old injury been healed?"

As Su Xiao spoke, he pulled out a probe that pierced Nilin's bone marrow. Nilin opposite didn't even frown and said calmly:

"Been cured a dozen times? Or more?"

As Nilin spoke, she turned her head to look at the white cow.

"I was temporarily cured 17 times, but relapsed soon after."

Bai Niu blew out a big puff of smoke, and then put out the oversized cigar. If Baja were here, he would have said two words when he saw this cigar.

Su Xiao removed all the examination equipment fixed on Nilin's right arm. He finally understood why Nilin's old injuries could not be cured in the void where there were many famous doctors and bosses.

The damage caused by the Dragon of the Abyss will not only appear "damaged cells", but there are three types of injuries, corresponding to the body, soul, and nightmare.

The treatment Nilin received in the past was all about the body and soul, and the injuries to the soul were particularly difficult to treat.

The problem is that although these famous doctors are extremely skilled in medicine, they are specialized in their profession and do not understand what nightmares are.

Su Xiao knew from a long time ago that nightmares are never illusions, especially after arriving in the world of paintings, where nightmares and the real world are almost connected together, usually only separated by a door.

Nilin's situation at this time is that her body, soul body, and the mental body in the nightmare all have old injuries. If one of these three aspects is not healed, the injury will be healed in the subsequent period of time.

The loss is mapped to the other two aspects.

Su Xiao briefly described the situation, and Nilin was amazed: "Nightmare? I never have nightmares."

"It's not a dream, it's a nightmare."

"Does it make a difference?"

"..."

Su Xiao was silent for a few seconds, then thought that he was now disguised as the Holy Flame Pharmacist. Although Bai Niu knew his true identity, he now used the opportunity of talking with Nilin to practice how the Holy Flame Pharmacist communicated with others.

, is also very good, so as not to have problems with words when arriving at Arcane Eternal Star tomorrow.

First of all, the Holy Flame Medicine Master must have the tone and style of an alchemist who pursues the truth of all things, as well as the elegant and easy-going language content.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao prepared for a while and said:

"Whether in alchemy or spiritual senses, there is a big difference between dreams and nightmares. However, given your knowledge base and the specific structure of nightmares, it is difficult to explain it to you."

"Are you calling me stupid?"

"No, it's just talking about your knowledge reserve. Stupidity is a personal insult, but knowledge reserve is the difference."

"Hey~, you mean, I'm not stupid, I just don't have enough education?"

"In terms of your talent in alchemy, you can count..."

Having said this, Su Xiao glanced at Nilin and shook her head. This made Nilin's hands clenched into fists under the table. She was very angry, but she couldn't show it on her face.

Ten seconds later, Su Xiao asked: "So, how did my negotiation method just now make people feel?"

The Holy Flame Vest that Su Xiao wants to create is not the style of a good guy, or in other words, the alchemist master will not have this style.

Hearing this, Nilin looked like this: "So you don't usually talk like this."

"Um."

"How about you return to your normal tone temporarily?"

"..."

"Why don't you speak?"

"..."

Su Xiao returned to her normal speech state, which made Nilin look at Bai Niu aside. Bai Niu nodded, meaning: 'Sister, don't be surprised, he is usually like this. He will ignore you at all when it is not necessary.'

After preliminary diagnosis, Su Xiao's diagnosis and treatment plan is to start surgical treatment tonight. Nilin's condition seems to be good, but she may fall down at any time and never be able to open her eyes again.

Considering that old injuries in the body, soul, and spirit must be treated at the same time, and the cost of this treatment was extremely high, Su Xiao suggested that Nilin undergo general anesthesia. Nilin smiled slightly and said that it was just pain, and she was already used to it.

An hour later, on the second underground floor of the mansion.

The originally spacious room, due to the placement of various medical instruments, left only an open space in the middle. The operating bed was placed here, making the overall environment appear compact.

Su Xiao had changed into a surgical gown. On the operating bed next to her, Nilin looked troubled. This was because she had been injected with suppressive drugs to prevent her from having a stress reaction during the operation, so she subconsciously gave Su Xiao a paw.

"If you are desperate, just think that your brother is still waiting for you outside the door."

‘Oh, what are you talking about?”

Nilin smiled. In her opinion, it was just a treatment. How could she despair? But at the next moment, she saw that Su Xiao pulled over a device that looked like a hood. It was full of hair as thick as hair and was slowly twisting.

The moving metal tentacles were moving, and just when she was wondering what this thing was doing, this treatment device, which looked so oozing, was already facing her. Nilin never expected that this thing was attached to her head.

Two hours later.

With her eyes widened, Nilin, who was lying on the operating bed, gradually regained some clarity in her eyes: "Is it over...?"

"..."

No one answered Nilin. She managed to raise her head and found that there was no one around her. In fact, all the medical equipment around her had disappeared.

Ta, da, da.

The sound of footsteps came, and a man named 'Su Xiao' came from the surrounding area, surrounding Nilin who was lying on the operating bed. This place was a nightmare.

…

Nilin's eyes suddenly widened. She gasped for air and looked around. Large particles of light were scattered around her, and her own body became translucent.

"You're awake."

An accent appeared in Nilin's ears. She turned her head to look at 'Su Xiao' who was standing aside. The next second, 'Su Xiao', as the nightmare doctor, suddenly lowered her head and stared at Nilin. Their faces were not far apart.
