Chapter 44

Normal nuclear stone examinations are not a problem; if the doctor is a woman, he can accept it, but he just can't stand it if the doctor is a man! And it seems he has a particularly bad attitude towards men of the same sex!

Kokowit's nuclear stone is located above her chest!!

Thinking about this perverted man who might touch Kokowit's chest... Absolutely not!!!

"No!" The Holy War Angel doctor... well, the nurse introduced his name as Crank Hyde. In any case, his invitation was immediately rejected by Rasadi.

"... Hmm? If it's a lady, she can come in." Adjusting his glasses, Hyde thought for a moment and said, "But no men!"

Veins immediately bulged on Greyaz's forehead; this was definitely discrimination!

However, since Dr. Hyde said this, it did ease their tension a bit. In this case, there shouldn't be any problems. Although Rasadi is a woman, her fighting power when she gets into a fight makes Greyaz feel a chill. Having her go in shouldn't be a problem...

As for Zheng Chen, well, don't even try to guess what he's thinking from his face.

Dr. Hyde's examination didn't last long, and he quickly came out. Rasadi's expression was normal, clearly indicating everything was fine. After staring at Kokowit for a while and seeing no issues, Greyaz finally relaxed a bit. Yes, it's really fine.

"You don't cherish the Holy War Angel, such a beautiful existence!" As soon as they stepped out, Hyde gave Greyaz a fierce glare, adjusted his glasses, and said with a bad temper, "There's no major problem, just too much exhaustion. As long as she doesn't participate in battles for a while, it'll be fine, got it?!"

Dr. Hyde's aggressive demeanor immediately intimidated Greyaz, who then quickly reacted and said, "Uh... Got it... Hey, why should I listen to you?"

"This is an order!" A cold light flashed in Dr. Hyde's eyes.

"..."

He didn't give Greyaz a chance to speak further, turning to look at Lei with a sharp gaze that instantly softened. He had a particularly good attitude towards the Holy War Angel! "This cute little sister, do you want to get a physical examination too? It's free!"

Greyaz stared in shock at this scene and couldn't help but glance at Zheng Chen. Yes, he still had no expression, and it looked like something was about to happen. It was just a matter of where Zheng Chen would pull out a weapon from.

"Let's go."

Zheng Chen led the blue-haired girl into Dr. Hyde's office. The latter just reined in his smile and didn't try to stop them.

"Uh... Ah! Damn it! This guy is definitely targeting me on purpose!!" After a moment of shock, Greyaz looked at the door that had been locked again and couldn't help but roar.

"Ravelle Mizarance, that's your name, right?" As soon as they entered, Hyde put away his rather narcissistic expression and took out a photo with a serious look, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions."

After saying that, he looked at Zheng Chen as if he were a monster, "You're quite a talent, but I like you."

"What's the matter?"

Zheng Chen's response made him sigh with relief, "That's her, yes. You know about the Seven Radiant Treasure Tree that disappeared five hundred years ago, right?"

Zheng Chen nodded.

"Great, then we won't waste time explaining too much." Dr. Hyde laughed, "Someone has been searching for her for the past five hundred years. Due to certain factors, my great-great-grandfather and I have been searching for her. Now you should go see her. I'll tell you where she is, or you can bring her here alone."

"Alone?"

"Uh-huh~" Dr. Hyde's serious expression instantly collapsed, and he adjusted his glasses with a rather expectant look, "Who knows if Lei has been damaged after wandering around with you, this terrorist, for so long? I'll naturally have to check her thoroughly... Hey! No knives in my sanctuary!!"

Seeing a small knife pop out from Zheng Chen's sleeve, Dr. Hyde shouted in anger, grabbing a surgical knife from somewhere and confronting him.

Zheng Chen stared at him for a moment, then thought for a moment and another identical surgical knife popped out from his other sleeve, "Even if I use a knife, it will only be me! Phew~ Considering how well you've protected her, I won't hold it against you this time."

"Is it Grena?" Lei asked with a mix of curiosity and anticipation.

"Yes..." Dr. Hyde adjusted his glasses, sighed with some regret, and took out a simple map to give to Zheng Chen, "This is the place. If you go now, it will be dark by the time you get there."

"Right!" Just as Lei was about to leave the room and Zheng Chen was about to go out, Dr. Hyde suddenly called out to Zheng Chen, his glasses flashing with a cold light, "Her address has always been a secret. If you encounter any suspicious characters on the way, can you eliminate them?"

"Understood." Zheng Chen casually pulled the door shut and said to the bored Greyaz, "You stay here tonight. We'll go out."

"Huh!?" Greyaz blinked in surprise, couldn't help but glance between Zheng Chen and Lei, and smiled in a rather subtle way, "Boss, you've finally made up your mind?"

"Hmph! Men's behavior!" Rasadi glanced at Greyaz with disdain, "Is this okay?"

It was about to get dark, and their current combat strength was at a low point. Lilia and Kokowit were severely exhausted, and engaging in a battle would harm them. Rasadi would never do anything to harm her sister.

"Eventually, we'll be back tomorrow."

Under the night sky, the nurse who led Zheng Chen to Dr. Hyde's clinic looked around in confusion. Strange, they were following closely, so why is no one here now?

"Philo."

! ??

Hearing the calm voice behind her, Charlot's pupils instantly shrank to the extreme. She instinctively transformed her arm and swung it back. Before that, a blade had already cut across her throat, "Oh, you're also Philo."

A squirrel ran out from in front of Charlot, ran past her, and climbed up Zheng Chen's pants to his shoulder. The nurse's eyes flashed with confusion and realization. Was the person behind her calling the squirrel?

Why call it Philo...?

Gently placing the nurse on the ground, the blade in Zheng Chen's hand dissolved and returned to the storage in his pattern. Without any need for handling, her body would completely turn to sand and disappear in a short time, leaving only the nurse's uniform, which looked very suitable and cute on her.

Zheng Chen pinched the squirrel's hind legs. The congenital deficiency made the sensation of its hind leg bones very uncoordinated, "Go back and ask the doctor if he can make up for it."

"Also, don't run around, it's dangerous."

A building that looked quite sinister under the night sky. After arriving here, the squirrel shrank its neck and quietly stayed in Lei's arms, unusually obedient.

"Is this Grena's residence?"

Lei said to herself with anticipation. In her memory, before she fell asleep, Grena should still have been in the Holy War Angel's hiding place. Why is she here... Is it because she has been looking for me all along?

Lei's usually calm face was tinged with some unease. She was a bit flustered, not knowing what would happen when she saw Grena. After so long, how would Grena have changed? She even regretted her impulsiveness back then. Involuntarily, she took a step closer to Zheng Chen, almost completely pressing against him.

"Let's go." After a moment of hesitation, Zheng Chen raised his hand to pat her head and took the lead.

The entire building was pitch black, like a giant mouth ready to swallow them. After some thought, Zheng Chen directly abandoned the use of the embarrassing 'code' provided by Hyde and waited on the spot with Lei. They had already entered, and the people here couldn't possibly not notice them.

An elderly woman in a nun's habit... the moment she appeared at the top of the stairs with a candle, Lei's expression could no longer maintain its usual calm, "... Grena!"

"A familiar voice, is it you, Lei?" Grena was silent for a moment, the flickering candlelight revealing her equally unsteady emotions, "I've thought of many possibilities for when I would see you again, but I never imagined you would find me, Lei. Do you still hate me?"

"..." Noticing the tears welling up in Lei's eyes, Zheng Chen squinted slightly, wondering how to comfort her. After some thought, he directly picked up the squirrel from Lei's arms and walked out. This wasn't his place to handle.

The next morning, the squirrel shook its head, emerged from Zheng Chen's coat, and jumped in front of him, tilting its head to stare at him.

Zheng Chen took out a few nuts from his pocket and placed them in front of the squirrel he had named Philo. Footsteps sounded behind him, heavy.

"Young man, Lei has already told me about you." Grena said with some fatigue. Reuniting with Lei kept her up all night, and her physical condition had declined severely due to her age, leaving her with very little energy.

"Uh-huh." Zheng Chen stood up, waiting for the elderly woman in the nun's habit to continue.

"I have something very important to tell you." The fatigue on Grena's face disappeared, and her gaze became sharp, "No matter who you are or what your intentions are, do not take her to the Eden Garden! Even if Lei hasn't said it, I know she hasn't given up on this idea."

"If you insist on doing this, I will definitely stop you!"

Um, someone mentioned the character issue. Personally, I'm quite nostalgic, but there will be new ones later. As for what... it depends on the situation _(:з」∠)_...
