Chapter 41: Confrontation

"Hello." At St. Ullas Hospital, the reception lady at the front desk greeted Heiliga with a very polite smile, "May I ask who you are here this time?" ”

"I came at the request of the Dictor of Alalda to pick up the miner who had taken the strange drug to the church for a psychiatric examination......" Helliga said the prepared statement, showing the letter with the church coat of arms, "I think the rector must have greeted the hospital a long time ago." ”

"Ah, yes. But......" the receptionist grimaced, "but...... What you may not know is that the therapist in charge of the miner's condition in the hospital is Dr. Joachim...... He's quite a stubborn guy. ”

Sure enough, it was himβ€”the last strong piece of evidence had succeeded in pointing to the man named Joachim, but Heliga remained untouched on the surface: "That is, he is reluctant to turn the sick man over to the church......?" ”

"yes...... Everyone was a little surprised about this matter. But Dr. Joachim's constant muttering about the "dignity of modern medicine" made the hospital's leadership look ugly...... Dr. Joachim then said that he had prepared a short one-week rehabilitation course for the patient, and that if he interrupted the treatment plan now, not only would it not help the patient, but could also lead to some negative effects...... So I'm sorry. ”

"I see......," Heliga nodded tolerantly in understanding, "but as you probably know, the patriarch of Alalda himself is also very ......."

"Hmm...... Oh, yes. The strange temper of the diocese of Alalda is also a household name in Crossbell, "What can I do then......

"I suppose that since Dr. Joachim has already arranged his own treatment plan, I am afraid that there is no need for the rector to bother him." "So, could you please tell me where Dr. Joachim is?" If possible, I would like to be able to talk to him in person and see if we can negotiate a better outcome. ”

"That's right...... Then you're in for trouble. Seeing that Heliga was so considerate, the receptionist said with a grateful face, "Associate Professor Joachim should still be in his private office on the fourth floor...... If not, it's in the reference room on the third floor. He enjoys doing research there. ”

"I see." Heliga whispered.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”-

As soon as she stepped out of the automatic door of the automatic guided elevator, Heiliga could clearly feel that something was wrong on this floor - the fourth floor of the St. Ullsla Medical College was a gathering place for expert doctors from various departments. Each of them has a fairly large and comfortable office area where they can do their favorite medical research to their heart's content - so the silence is usually shrouded in silence, which is broken by the sound of swearing coming from one or two rooms from time to time. But in any case, the tranquility is justβ€”too eerie.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Laas-Yah-Nir。 Helliga was suspicious, and his instincts told him that something wasn't right, so he recited the dragon's roar of "Aura Whispering" - sure enough, the huge fourth floor was empty at this moment, except for one room - but there was a reflection of life that was radiating great evil thoughts.

"Welcome...... Visitors who finally met each other. "The other party is ready, and Heliga has to go in person. As soon as he pushed open the door, he smelled the strange smell in Joachim's room, and Joachim, who was smiling dangerously, said, "I guess you've been looking for a chance to meet me." ”

"As for you, it's actually only been long." "But it's true...... I've known for a long time that a fish that slipped through the net is hiding here. ”

"It was possible to find this place with almost no direct intelligence sources...... I really should admire this ability to create something out of nothing...... You, the strong man hidden behind the "Liber Mutation", I will also change it to find out earlier...... But forget it, it's not too late. Joachim's smile remained unchanged.

"Not too late?" Heliga chuckled, "You're a powerless doctor who has survived until now by coercing Harutman...... Now that your true colors have been exposed, why are you going to fight me? ”

"......" Joachim looked at him fiercely, but he was silent, and it was clear that he was very jealous of Heliga's power.

"Speaking of which, you guy...... What exactly is the purpose of the action behind this? Seeing Joachim's expression, Heliga suddenly thought of another thing, "Normally, those who escape by chance should try their best to avoid having an affair with the Order after that, so as to ensure their safety for the rest of their lives. But you did the exact opposite...... It's like you're afraid that others won't know about your existence. What are you doing here? Isn't it just a ridiculous dream of reviving the Order? ”

"Hahaha...... Hahaha! Hearing Heliga's question, Joachim, who was still a little timid, suddenly burst out laughing: "It's ridiculous! It's been traced to the point where I've been traced, and I haven't even figured out the essence of the matter? That's really ...... Irony. ”

"Essence?" Heliga frowned, yes, what is Joachim for, so he did not hesitate to take such a risk?

"Hmph...... Looks like you're still confused. Joachim didn't seem terrified now, "I would have told you all about the causes and consequences if I could...... But now that time is pressing, I won't accompany you. ”

"Time is short, where can you go?" Heliga said mockingly, "You don't really think you'll be able to escape from here, do you?" ”

"Of course not...... But I would like to remind you that just now, a team of "Rubacher" under my command has hijacked the bus that is about to reach the hospital, according to the schedule...... If you don't reach out to help, they're probably ......," Joachim gestured with his finger to his neck, sinister smile.

"I have already informed the police department...... In particular, the elite of the search department followed me to the hospital. "If you're lucky, Guy Bannings and the Wind Blademaster will be with you...... Even if they have been strengthened by you with "true knowledge", they will not be able to match these two. ”

"Not bad...... Looks like we're going to have to go to war here. Strangely, Joachim's face showed no signs of alarm.

"What the hell is this......" An ominous premonition rose in Helica's heart.
