Chapter 543 Surgical Nurse Mr. "The Fool"
Chapter 543 Surgical Nurse Mr. "The Fool"
On this day, beneath the Church of the Eternal Sun in Tangara City, a man with a gloomy demeanor, black curly hair, and a northern continental face suddenly stopped washing clothes and raised his eyes.
As he watched a group of people dressed in white robes inlaid with gold approach, he nudged his companion, who looked exactly like him and was doing the same job, with his elbow.
The leader was a priest from a church.
He looked at the contaminated people with an expression that remained unchanged, without a trace of disdain:
"The experts have already provided a treatment plan for everyone. From now on, you no longer need to do church work. After the treatment is completed, you can go home and continue your previous lives."
"Pack your bags. The Intis consulate has prepared a room specifically for the treatment specialists. Meet in the preaching hall; there are people there to serve you."
Behind him were the divine servants who were originally tasked with washing and cleaning. Those "Z" who needed to remain underground...
After the "gentlemen" appeared, they enjoyed a long holiday at the church—but now they have been called back.
The two victims, who both had the faces of "Mr. Yi," exchanged glances and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
They hadn't stepped out of the church or seen their family for months.
Praise the sun!
"Oh, praise the sun!"
Tears welled up in their eyes. These poor people thanked the priest gratefully, hastily put down their work, and quickly disappeared from sight.
At this moment, the church's preaching hall was filled with people. They were all victims with the face of "Mr. Z". There were more than fifty people who had been confirmed to have devout faith in the "Eternal Sun" and had no residual pollution. They were all sitting on the church pews, covering their faces with hoods provided by the servants, waiting for their turn for treatment.
Two soldiers in brown-green uniforms stood guard at the church entrance. They had sealed off the church for medical treatment and it was closed to the public.
These guards were key members of the Tangara garrison who were qualified to know about the supernatural. The main reason for this was to prevent civilians or ordinary soldiers from being frightened by a room full of people with the same faces.
On the pulpit, Bishop McKinley personally oversaw the situation. He tried to calm the diverse emotions of those present, offering individual guidance while explaining to the entire assembly:
"There's only one therapist, so it might take a while. Please be patient. But I assure you, the therapist guarantees there won't be any side effects after the treatment, so the wait will be worthwhile."
"Moreover, all treatment costs will be covered by the church—"
As they spoke, at the church entrance, two soldiers on guard simultaneously moved their bayonets-fixed rifles aside. Sergeant David led a man dressed as a servant of the priest into the church to inquire.
The people in the hall noticed the change and turned around, their eyes fixed on the entrance to the church.
The man next to Sergeant David still has his number on his servant's uniform—a measure to facilitate management and identification when everyone looks the same.
This means that the man standing at the church entrance, whose face was no longer the pale one of the Northern Continent but the bronze one of the Southern Continent, was the victim who had previously shared the same face with them.
Suddenly, the huge church fell silent.
A second later, someone finally exclaimed in surprise:
"Oh, Pani, it really is you! You—you've turned back! Praise the sun!"
"Was he a victim just like us?"
"The treatment really works!"
"Praise the sun! Praise the healer!"
Seeing the chaos, Sergeant David could only let the one who had been successfully treated go and retrieve his personal belongings first, raising his voice:
"Who will be the next to receive treatment?"
Seeing the effectiveness of the treatment, everyone eagerly raised their hands:
"It's me!" "Me! I was brought here with Tiffany!" "It's me!"
Sergeant David, growing impatient, raised his voice:
"Sit down! Let His Excellency the Bishop make the judgment."
"Sit down! Can't you hear me? If you don't sit down, you'll get the last treatment!"
After finally calming them all down, he softened his tone and comforted them:
"Don't worry, the treatment plan was personally developed by this therapist—she is a kind-hearted woman who will not abandon anyone."
In the dead of night, Klein suddenly woke up from his dream, got out of bed, and walked four steps backward to the top of the gray fog.
At the head of the long bronze table, a blurry figure vanished the instant it met Klein. Klein found this unremarkable, instead gazing into a small, oval window with a faint light shining through it, in front of his seat.
On the other side of the mirror, Chloe, with her platinum blonde hair, looked exhausted, her head bowed, her hands clasped in front of her chest, as she prayed devoutly:
"—Dear Mr. 'Fool,' all the victims of the Aurora Society have regained their original appearances. Thank you for your help. Please inform Mr. 'World' that I can return the 'Blood Flower' ring at any time."
Klein nodded without changing his expression and projected an image into the crimson star corresponding to "Power" Chloe:
"Can."
This is the plan they devised, and it has now been successfully completed.
Klein has his own things to do in reality and can't always be on duty above the gray fog to respond to Chloe's magic mirror divination.
However, he had already advanced to Sequence 4 "Trickster," gaining the ability to create "Spirit Worms." This was essentially another clone of Klein. After researching and verifying its feasibility, Klein placed a "Spirit Worm" above the gray fog to mechanically respond to Chloe's prayers, manifesting the original face of the object of the prayer on the other side of the magic mirror.
In reality, he can continue doing his own thing—merely "occupying" and displaying the corresponding image on the magic mirror is not a big burden for someone who already possesses divinity.
At the same time, a "spirit worm" was implanted into Chloe's body through the magic mirror.
This grants the "Master of Puppets" ability, allowing initial control over Chloe's spirit threads. Klein instructs the "Spirit Worms" embedded in Chloe's body to remove the "Blood Flower" ring from Chloe's hand every 5 minutes.
Of course, if Chloe senses this manipulation and removes the ring, the mysticization process will stop.
The "Blood Flower" ring causes the wearer to lose their rationality and thinking ability in an irregular and random manner, acting solely on instinct.
It's a mechanical action that can be done without constant monitoring.
Having verified that his "Spirit Worm" could accomplish such a feat in conjunction with the Gray Mist Space, Klein felt he was taking a step closer to becoming a true god.
But in this situation, why do I always feel like I'm playing the role of an scrub nurse in this surgery?
Klein's expression was a little strange for a moment—but thinking that the large-scale surgery had indeed been successful, he stopped worrying about it and returned to the real world.

Chapter 544 The Surgeon, Miss "Strength"
Chapter 544 The Surgeon, Miss "Strength"
As for Chloe, she certainly wouldn't let the people receiving treatment know that the hidden power of "The Fool" was involved.
The church and the military only wanted to resolve the problem and never took the initiative to find out how Chloe had done it. In particular, Bishop McKinley of the Church of the Eternal Sun had noticed that Chloe might have used some "not devout" or "not pure" methods, but in order to solve the problem, he deliberately did not ask and sent all the victims to the room that Chloe had applied for without saying a word.
The room was located in the consulate of the Republic of Intis. To ensure privacy, only the patient and Chloe, the healer, would be in the room.
Before receiving treatment, the victim must inhale a highly effective anesthetic gas—provided by Mr. "Moon"—and only after being thoroughly anesthetized will Chloe pray to Mr. "Fool" to manifest the victim's true face in the magic mirror divination, and activate the flesh magic of "Blood Flower" to gradually change the appearance according to the image shown in the mirror.
During this process, Chloe inevitably suffered from the negative effects of the "Blood Flower." However, with enough patients and enough negative effects, Chloe had gained experience—the symptoms only lasted for a short while on average every hour and a half. This contributed to Mr. "World's" further mastery of the sealed artifact.
And so, by late at night, all the victims had received treatment.
Chloe drank another bottle of potion to restore her spirituality—this one was also provided by the "moon".
Back when Mr. Moon was crowdfunding the Blood Essence of the Vampire Baron, which is the Sequence 6 "Potion Professor" extraordinary trait, Chloe had already received Mr. Moon's promise to provide potions every month.
Among them, the magic potion that can restore one's spirituality is of great help in battle, and it is always present whenever a request is made to "the Moon".
Once the faint gray mist behind the mirror dissipated, Chloe understood that Mr. Fool had answered her prayers and ended the magic mirror's possession.
Upon hearing Mr. Fool's ever-present, relaxed tone, she didn't hesitate and immediately began setting up the sacrificial ceremony on the spot.
The "Blood Flower" item is indeed a terrible rip-off. No wonder Mr. World couldn't sell it. If it were to activate suddenly in battle, even with its passive ability to grant the user an extra life, it would be difficult to gain an advantage.
Chloe clicked her tongue inwardly in amazement and quickly completed the ritual.
As for the "Sun Brooch"—it was indeed a very nice magical item. Since Mr. "World" was willing to lend it to Chloe to help her deal with the various evils and filth of the Southern Continent, she gratefully accepted it.
Essentially, it's the magical item in the hands of the "Godfather" that possesses the characteristics of a "notary." The complete weakening of the "Seal of Cerónio de Anjou" is equivalent to carrying a "sun priest" with you.
In the realm of "the sun," the "sun brooch" possesses comprehensive and diverse capabilities, sufficient to resolve most problems.
However, the "Devil Clown" card doesn't like to be worn together with it, as it becomes visibly agitated if worn together. But it doesn't really matter—I can just take it out of my bag when the time comes.
Chloe and "Demon Clown" had reached a certain consensus. She was also reluctant to wear the "Sun Brooch," since its side effect was that she would feel extreme heat while wearing it. In the already scorching August sun of the Southern Continent, no matter how beneficial it was to health, it was still a complete torment.
After finishing the ceremony and tidying up her "treatment area," Chloe let the last "victim," who had already regained his southern continent appearance, smell the antidote. After watching him slowly wake up, she finally dragged her tired body and pushed open the door to the treatment room with him.
Although it was late at night, Lieutenant Colonel Meyer, Bishop McKinley, and even the local ruler, "Governor" Giza, who almost never left his residence, were waiting in the square outside the Intis consulate.
Sergeant David and others were of slightly lower rank, but officers, police chiefs, and officials who also held important positions in Tangara stood behind them.
Similarly, the other victims, whose faces had been altered by "Mr. B," stood unevenly further back. When they saw Chloe appear at the door with the last victim whose appearance had been restored, they wept with joy and cheered softly. This marked that Tangara, at least for this moment, had completely resolved the troubles left behind by the "Aurora Society," and the city had finally escaped the shadow cast by the "Aurora Society."
This is the best news for everyone.
"Miss Chloe, you've worked hard." Lieutenant Colonel Meyer walked up to her with a smile and gave her a warm hug. "You are a saint of our time—I assure you, your piety and virtue will spread to every city, and your legend, even in the sacred texts, will be willing to add a chapter to your story."
Chloe took it as a compliment—when had the Church ever truly valued the ruled people of the Southern Continent? She smiled awkwardly, nodded to Lieutenant Colonel Meyer, then nodded to the young bishop, and to "Governor" Giza, who wore a very distinctive local uniform—or, to put it bluntly, an incongruous mix of styles.
"The meaning of travel lies in finding the meaning of life, and being able to get rid of the trouble of the 'Aurora Festival' is my greatest satisfaction."
Basically, this is what Chloe was thinking—aside from "the meaning of travel".
"Beautiful and praiseworthy virtues." Kiza looked at her sincerely in his not-so-fluent Intis language. "On behalf of my people, I pay you the highest respects."
Kiza patted Chloe's shoulder with his calloused hand:
"I will remember your face forever. When the dust settles, Tangara will erect a statue in your honor on this land."
The young bishop McKinley looked at Chloe with a complicated expression, wanting to say something but remaining silent, only raising his arms as if to embrace the sun:
Praise be to the sun! May the eternal sun bless you.
Chloe knew that this was the highest level of response the bishop could offer.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lieutenant Colonel Meyer looked around, glanced at his two colleagues, and deliberately ended the conversation:
"Miss Chloe has been busy since early morning and hasn't had a break in between."
He glanced at Chloe and winked:
"On such a joyous day, it is only right to celebrate—of course, our heroes can rest easy. We will make up for the regret of not being able to help earlier."
