1:297 Reinventing the Sacred Blade (Part I)
Ten minutes later, Palamides saw Vivien coming for him.
"Take off your clothes and lie down. The woman commanded.
"Uh, what?" the leopard man asked, frightened, blushing.
"What do you think it is?" Vivien waved her hand, and the metal wall in the medical room rose. A large glass container contains a yellowish liquid, soaked in something that appears to be the internal organs of a laboratory animal.
"I don't understand," the leopard man whispered.
"It's your guts. Vivien pointed to the organs that were faintly soaked in the glass container, "At that time, your internal organs were almost completely destroyed, and I had no choice but to replace them with artificial internal organs. Now that these damaged organs have been repaired, I'll help you get them back. "Wait, what?!" the leopard man touched his abdomen in surprise, "It's all about—" "Half-machine, half-biochemical parts. Just barely maintaining your bodily functions. If you use it for a while, it will be damaged and will not last long. The woman's face was cold, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kicked you out of the institute so soon." If you hadn't come back for a month, I was going to look for you. Anyway, let's get ready for surgery. Palamides did not speak, and quietly took off his armor and shirt. The medical room closes its own door and sprays out some sterilization spray. The leopard people endured the pungent smell of these sterilizers and lay on the operating table.
"You're calm. Vivien walked over with a syringe, "Local anesthesia or general anesthesia?" "Local anesthesia." "Palamides didn't want to be rendered unconscious by general anesthesia, so he chose local anesthesia. He had something to ask Vivien.
"Good. The lady withdrew the syringe and picked up a scalpel. She commanded the golem and brought the petri dish containing the entrails of Palamides. "The operation began. "Hmm" Palamides, whose body was under local anesthesia, felt no pain, but could still feel something cut through his body. It was a very subtle feeling, as if I was entrusting my life to someone else's hands.
To say [not afraid] is to lie. The leopard man was curious about what the woman had done to his body, but he was too scared to look down, and only stared straight at the shadowless lamp on the ceiling of the medical room. The bright light made his eyes sore, but he was so worried that he couldn't close them.
However, the leopard man felt that he could trust this woman. He could vaguely see something in the woman's indifferent gaze
"When I was almost dead," the leopard man whispered, "I saw you coming towards me. But at that time I was delirious and thought you were my wife, what did I say? I didn't say anything rude?" Unmoved, Vivien used a scalpel with strands of hair, slicing open the nerves and blood vessels of the mechanical viscera, replacing and stitching up the original entrails of Palamides.
"Is there really not?" said the leopard man suspiciously.
"You're just like a fool and saying a whole bunch of nonsense that no one understands. Vivien said, "How can it be rude if you don't understand something?" - don't distract me by arguing about me. You either go to sleep or close your mouth and sit quietly. "Okay. The leopard man fell silent.
Time passed second after second. I don't know how long it took, but the leopard man only felt weaker and weaker, and his body couldn't stop chilling.
"Bear with me, it's almost done. Vivien said. She knew that such a major operation would gradually take away Palamides' strength, even though she had minimized the amount of bleeding from the leopard man's body.
"I want you to forgive me," the Leopard Man began muttering some nonsense quietly, "It's all my fault for being like this."
It's me who is so stupid. If I were a little more skeptical of the medicine given by the patriarch
If I spend a little more time with you
If I hadn't sent that kid to the institute against your will—" The leopard man's voice grew weaker and weaker until he could no longer be heard. His life was still alive, just in a coma. The sad man had a tear hanging from the corner of his eye.
In the name of love, it is impossible to do evil.
However, fate can sometimes be very cruel and twist what good people do into evil.
Vivien saw the leopard man for what it was. During their time at the Vivien Institute, his two sons told the woman about their past experiences.
The woman did not show any particular sympathy or pity.
Until now.
This leopard man is just a haggard and tired man chased by the sins of the past. He thought that everything he did was to protect the people he loved, but it always backfired.
How similar this leopard man was to Vivien's mother, Iglene.
Igline, who forgave her mother, began to have a special affection for Palamides.
She stopped the operation on her hand and looked at the leopard man's face. That's actually the face of a big cat, and the blue fur looks very funny. The weather-beaten cat's face was solemn and cold. This combination full of contradictions, in the sad sleeping face of the big cat, seems even more contradictory.
The woman put her hand on the leopard man's cheek and gently caressed it: "If you think that everything you have done is worthy of forgiveness, then, you have received the forgiveness you deserve." Have a good dream. "She cast some kind of calming magic on him. The leopard man's face slowly relaxed, becoming less painful. He was forgiven by his wife somewhere in his heart, even though it was just a dream.
Vivien remembered that two days earlier, the dying leopard man had wrapped her arms around her in a daze, mistaken her for his deceased wife, and kissed her while crying and begging for her forgiveness.
Everything this guy did at that time made the woman's heart tremble.
The succubus, who hates getting along with people and only wants to do research alone in his own research institute, has gradually changed his mind because of this kind of manager. She's become less disgusted with people-
Or maybe it's because Palamides isn't human, but such a big cat, that she doesn't feel so disgusted?
The woman sighed and quickly completed the operation, sewing up Palamides' abdomen.
"Send him to the break room. Vivien commanded the golem.
The golem was about to pick up the unconscious Leopard Man.
"Wait. Vivien was afraid that the rude golem would hurt the weakened leopard man who had just completed surgery, "Alright, you can go and do something else." I'll deal with this man. The golem nodded, dragging its silver-metallic body along.
Vivien stretched her hair, gently wrapped her grip around the leopard-man Palamides, and carefully lifted him up.
This is the second time she has felt the weight of this man.
