The next thing that was ordered to be disposed of was all the blood stains left by the girl during the torture.

While the subject was placed in the makeshift infirmary of the Sisters of Battle's residence, and it was determined that Asclepius would conduct an in-depth examination of her, all the places she had traveled before, everything she had touched—torture chambers, interrogation rooms, tables, chairs, benches, and even Sister Iolans's armor—were quickly and destructively cleansed by powerful detergents. The torture instruments, which were inevitably stained with blood and difficult to clean thoroughly because of their shape, were thrown directly into the incinerator and melted into a pile of debris at the high temperature generated by the plasma reaction.

Rika Fujimaru had no doubt that if the people here were given a chance, they would inevitably worship the blood-stained instruments of torture as a symbol of the saint's suffering. At this point, she finally began to rejoice in the fact that she had too much authority—even if she still considered herself unworthy, she could still use it (and in the name of the Emperor of the Tiger) to easily get the nuns to carry out the order they were not willing to give without compromise.

Then, after contacting the Lionmane for a short period of time, she confirmed that the current situation was not bad, but she was waiting for the process of internal intelligence transmission of the Imperial fleet, and sighed with mixed feelings.

"Any questions?" Because Ranmaro had taken his Firewing warriors to deal with intelligence matters, it was the Dreadwing Company Commander who was now being questioned by Fujimaru Rika, Zantyk Afpa, a member of the Terra Clan, who had fought in the Chandan War and was undoubtedly a reliable commander, and it was clearly a condescension for him to lead a tactical team of only ten men. However, time has changed, and in this situation 10,000 years later, he can only get Fujimaru Rika's sad, hesitant, slightly apprehensive and distrustful eyes.

"Company Commander Afpa, I have no doubt about your professional abilities, but the first thing we should be clear about is that the situation is not the same as before." She didn't answer the other party's question, but began to say something else to herself, "All of our defenses now are not well-trained Space Marines, just a group of astral troops who have inevitably become tired from the protracted war, and their armor is almost depleted in the previous tug-of-war. ”

The company commander did not take off his helmet, but even so, his surprise was clearly conveyed through all covers, even without words. He didn't speak, but he had clearly guessed what kind of order Fujimaru Rika would give next.

"It makes sense that we all have to defend this city." "I'm sure we'll be able to at least airdrop reinforcements from the Lionmane tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and things will be easy," she said. But before that, all we could muster was twenty Dark Angel warriors, two personnel carriers, and the local garrison - we would have been bound to eat the Regent's traffic ticket, and if we lost the city again, things would really be a big deal. ”

Fujimaru Rika's statement did not mention the specific task throughout, but it actually left a little room for the other party to refuse. As long as Company Commander Avopa didn't want to fight this rotten battle with a bunch of mortals, he could naturally pretend not to understand and let the local defenders fend for themselves - unfortunately, he did have some untimely self-esteem that made him not want to command soldiers who were not up to standard in his eyes, but his pride did not allow him to watch the front that originally belonged to the empire be lost in vain.

"I see." With ten thousand reluctances, he agreed to this, "I will communicate with the defenders here to see if there is anything that needs to be filled, rebuilt, or transferred, and coordinate this defensive battle." ”

“…… Are you sure you know it's a defensive battle, right? ”

"Of course I do!"

Captain Afpa said angrily, and then left angrily. He took his entire tactical team with him as he left, so now Rika Fujimaru was left with only one of the Firewing Warriors left by Ranmaro as security.

After all this tossing, Pamenho's sun sank into the horizon. As night fell, Rika Fujimaru finally got a break to rest. She quietly ran into the makeshift infirmary with her bodyguards, intending to rub a bed or a chair there, but while she was still looking for a suitable target, Asclepius, who had completed the examination, appeared.

"She's not doing well." The veritable "god of healing" said straight to the point, "Psionic energy healed her superficial wounds, but only the 'superficial' ones." I gave her a psionic blockade for the time being, but it was only a stopgap measure to stop the situation from getting worse for the time being. It doesn't matter if I stay like this for a week or so, but in any case, I'll need the equipment and resources on the Storm Boundary for a week. ”

- The Emperor's psionic powers are violent. Even if the person on the throne intends to control it, and this little girl herself happens to have the right qualifications, it is not something that a mere mortal can bear for a long time. The girl herself had no experience in this kind of thing, and as a "bottle" that received psionic energy, she didn't know how to turn off the "high-pressure faucet" that was always on, let alone how to properly drain the excess psionic energy, and in the long run, the final result would only be that the bottle as a container would be broken by excessive pressure.

In the current situation, it was probably when the bottle had just cracked a little, and Asclepius turned off the faucet for her. Although it will be fine for the time being, the cracks that have already appeared must be repaired.

"I understand, I will arrange it as soon as possible according to the situation." Fujimaru Rika nodded tiredly, "If everything goes well, we'll get the boat down tomorrow or the day after tomorrow; If that doesn't work, then teleport back to the Lionmane. ”

Asclepius nodded, and then looked at her quietly for a moment - he didn't leave to do anything else, nor did he urge Fujimaru Rika, who was on the verge of overwork, to rest quickly, he just stayed quietly, and the scene they were in was even the infirmary.

This is really ...... for people like Asclepius, who are somewhat workaholic in their love for their own job A little off. Therefore, Fujimaru Rika asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" Doesn't that look like you? ”

"I will return the original words." Asclepius snorted with his usual ruthlessness, "I didn't expect you to say that in front of that kid. ”

"I didn't expect you to care about the psychology of your patients." Rika Fujimaru teased before adding, "She doesn't have a choice, and sooner or later she will know what she's going through." In this case, I think it is better to make it clear to her at the beginning than to hide it. Besides, saving the world is not an easy task - never being able to see your parents again in the future is just the least worth mentioning. ”

Asclepius pauses for a moment and asks, "Is this a matter of experience?" ”

"Speaking of experience." Rika Fujimaru pulled out a smile and turned away from the topic she had no intention of talking about, "Then again, how do you feel?" You've been a little quiet all the way, nothing happened, right? ”

“…… Am I not quiet enough? ”

"Two different things. We've landed in a position blessed by the plague gods, and I've been ready to hold you back if you want to run deeper - you're acting too peaceful with so many 'new cases' around. You didn't even talk much along the way, you didn't talk to yourself. ”

“…… It's just touching the scene. Asclepius was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Did I look like that when I was in the Persona Belt?" ”

- This is to say that when he was one of the "protectors of the world", he used the power of the god of the underworld to summon the dead as soldiers, and he used the power of the god of water, Varuna, to continuously strengthen and heal the holy beast in front of the Chaldeans.

As the party who was blocked, Fujimaru Rika just shrugged her shoulders: "It's obviously different, right?" At least the battlefield was clean at that time. ”

"Hey, don't fool me by saying things like that." Asclepius, who had devoted his life to developing medical skills and upholding "human dignity" and hoped that one day "good people would not die in vain because of the wrath of the gods," said angrily, "Although there are only records, I can probably guess what was going on in my heart at that time." ”

"Then take it as a warning from past failures." Rika Fujimaru said lightly, "And I'm here too." If this time, your research goes astray because of something strange, I, as your sponsor, will definitely be the first to slam my fist in your face. ”

"There must be a limit to arrogance." Asclepius chuckled behind the beak mask, "Now that you've dragged a universe that's so rotten as a *Greek foulmouth* behind you, do you still feel like you have time to care about other people's mental health?" I'm a doctor myself, so I don't bother you. Now get a bed and go to bed, I'm going to study the samples I've taken nearby. ”

He said this indifferently and left, but the long snake floating in mid-air pushed Fujimaru Rika to an empty bed that had been left before.

Mi woo Mi (none, and shriveled)
