Race for time

Although Father Ann has decided to rescue the tax collector, he still faces many problems to solve in practice, among which the biggest problem in front of him is the lack of everything. It is true that with the blessing of Gong Chen's universal pocket, some medical tools like scalpels can barely make up a little. However, even Yu Siqi, a layman who has little research in medicine, knows that in order to ensure the success rate of surgery, perfect medical equipment is one of the indispensable elements. Not to mention, now they can't even come up with a medicine that can relieve patients from pain.

Father Ann, who had not been able to do so, eventually removed his hand from the wound and recited several incantations instead. Then he put the knife away again, and said to Luo Ning with a solemn face: "At the moment, we must be fully prepared, I don't want others to doubt my medical skills because of some external reasons." ”

"Then she, is it too late?" Luo Ning looked at the tax officer, whose breathing was getting weaker, and asked.

"I've suppressed those parasites with the Holy Text for the time being, and they probably won't be able to reproduce for some time to come. It's just that we have to find the right place for surgery quickly. Father An walked back and forth a few steps and said with a serious expression, "There should be nothing in this house where I can carry out the operation smoothly, but if it is nearby." Maybe we can use that 'car' to get back to the village, Ronin, you should have a hospital here, a place where people can be treated. ”

In a question-and-answer that resembled a self-talk, Father Ann suddenly asked Ronin, who said without thinking, "Sorry to disappoint you, we don't have a 'hospital' here. ”

"There is no hospital in any broken place, even in a poor place like my hometown, I can squeeze out a rural clinic!" Gong Chen said angrily.

"Then what should you do if you get sick, wait for death? Or are you born without the fear of disease? "Yu Siqi doesn't understand why people can survive in a place where there is not even a 'hospital'.

"Of course we're going to get sick, but it's not the same way you go to the hospital for treatment. We were led by the tax collector and took us to the town to find the priests. Luo Ning made a gesture similar to a prayer, folded his hands and said, "Then after a series of prayers and blessings, the sickness will naturally be far away from us." ”

"Obviously, this approach doesn't apply to the tax collector himself." Fr. Ann pointed out this problem sharply, "Otherwise, we would not have to worry about the fact that her treatment will not be carried out smoothly." ”

"Indeed, you are absolutely right, Father. However, you may not know something. In the long years that have passed, the body of the three pillars can be said to be an invincible existence. Naturally, you won't get sick... Or it is 'parasitized'. ”

Although Ronin strongly agreed with Father Ann's statement, his little stubbornness as an aboriginal prompted him to speak his mind.

"Looks like times have changed, Ronin." Father An glanced at him with a smile on his face, and then gave an order to Gong Chen: "When we first arrived here before, did you notice those factories next to this house?" I'd like you to go over and see what you can do right now, and report back to me after making sure there's anything in there that works. ”

"Come on, Father. What can there be in the broken factory? Gong Chen said nonchalantly, and he was not particularly reluctant to go.

After Gong Chen's figure disappeared from their field of vision, Father An turned his face to Siqi and said, "If it's convenient, I hope you can help me too." ”

"Of course, as long as you ask." Yu Siqi resolutely agreed to the priest's proposal.

"Can you lock her time? It doesn't take long until the surgery officially begins. Fr. Ann drew his eyes to the tax collector, who was still lying on the ground.

"I thought your spell would make sure it didn't get worse!" Yu Siqi made a symbolic joke, but it was the slightly funny expression given by Father An.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Yu Siqi closed his eyes, feeling the flow of time with his heart, the transparent hair was wrapped around him, he carefully pulled it away with his hands, and finally touched the one connected to the tax officer's body. However, when his fingertips were about to touch her time stream, Lin Guanshan's voice flew out of that time coldly, and a transparent figure appeared in those time streams, grabbed his wrist and said, "It seems that you are still very disobedient as I expected." Well, everything is as I envisioned. I'm sorry, but now that the game has started, I'm going to have to do something 'right'. If you want to cut someone else's time in my timeline, you have to ask me myself. ”

"So, you mean you want to interfere with me?" Yu Siqi tried hard to break the man's hand, and found that the other party was very strong. And he also noticed that probably because he had entered the interior of time, Father Ann stood there deaf to his 'encounter', so to speak.

"No, you're interfering with me. I just stepped in to stop it, that's all. Lin Guanshan let go of Yu Siqi's wrist and walked up to him.

"You're saying this as if time is your thing." Yu Siqi knew that the other party was not good, so his attitude towards him was not particularly friendly, and his attention was all focused on him.

"Isn't it? Look at what you look like now, I can keep you here for the rest of your life if I want to. Lin looked at the mountain and turned around, and said arrogantly: "In the time period I control, your personal bodyguard 'Master Priest' can't do anything. ”

In the face of Lin Guanshan's wild words, Yu Siqi naturally would not choose to believe in it. He first tried to call and control his own time, only to find that there was already a pair of hands on the dial that held everything, and when he went up to get close to the dial that ruled the time, he found that those hands had turned into huge cannons and bombarded his area.

Although Yu Siqi dodged very decisively, he was still dizzy by the aftermath of the artillery fire.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be stupid enough to touch that dial. That's one of the main factors that determines who has the final say in this territory, how can it be easily ceded? Lin Guanshan's posture that I am smarter than you made Yu Siqi even more displeased. The emotions inside his body began to be provoked by the other party, and endless anger burst out of his eyes, causing him to fall into a state of rage.

The warp of time was growing, and more and more rifts were appearing around him. His anger, which had nowhere to vent, turned directly into a fiery dragon, swallowing the cannon fire and the cannon into his belly. The right hand with a clenched fist slammed on the dial, knocking the hands on it to the ground, and Lin Guanshan, who was originally proud, felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

Yu Siqi, who was furious, did not hesitate for a moment, and quickly sprinted in front of him, ready to 'teach' him. As a result, seeing that the situation was not good, he escaped along a certain undistorted flow of time.

Looking at the back of the other party who left in a hurry, Yu Siqi howled into the sky to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart. Then, the violent shaking of time around him freed him from his rage, and he gradually sobered up and silently completed the task assigned to him by Father Ann. Then he withdrew from the realm of time, and as he left, he clearly saw that the dial that had been smashed by him was once again ticking and ticking.

Everything, as if nothing had happened.
