A Feline woman doctor, Doctor Kaltsit, recently arrived in the infected slum of Saint Foucault City.
She was very low-key, not even attracting the attention of any Gang when she moved in.
Although at first, this unfamiliar stranger, whom they had never seen before, aroused the vigilance of the nearby residents.
Having suffered discrimination and exclusion from others, they remained wary of Kaltsit, even though she was also an infected person.
But after a patient with acute intestinal obstruction was sent here by his helpless family and walked out of the makeshift operating room healthy, the residents, who had always been clannish and exclusive, quickly accepted this foreign doctor.
It is important to know that Terra's medical standards are very Advanced; apart from oripathy, there is almost no disease that cannot be cured.
But for the lower-class residents of mobile cities, no matter how good the medical technology, they would ultimately not benefit from it—they, like the residents of Acahuala, could die at any time from minor illnesses.
In this place where impoverished infected people were marginalized, basic medical care never existed; let alone physical examinations, not even the most common painkillers or cold medicines could be bought.
Therefore, they particularly respected this knowledgeable, skilled Feline woman doctor who was willing to help them, and even when Gang members constantly sought her whereabouts, more people covered for Kaltsit.
Kaltsit was indeed a doctor worthy of respect.
Although Kafka was unaware of the enemy attack, she also admired this doctor.
However, this doctor, who always remained calm and, whenever she appeared before Kafka, coldly urged her to seek medical attention as soon as possible, attacked without hesitation when she saw Goki enthusiastically greeting her.
"He, he, he fell down—Kaltsit, what are you doing... Oh my!"
Watching this man named Goki suddenly being knocked directly downstairs by a black shadow from outside the stairwell, Kafka, who had just pushed open the door and walked into the small clinic, was stunned.
However, before this young information broker could react, Kafka saw Skadi, the petite girl who had just punched the Sarkaz, who were taller and stronger than her, directly into the ground, instantly turn into a whirlwind and charge over.
Bang—Crack, crack!
The moment Goki was unexpectedly taken away from beside her, Skadi had already erupted with terrifying speed, directly grabbing the sharp tail of the crystalline giant beast.
Unrivaled immense strength instantly burst forth, and the giant black face-hugger, which had no intention of attacking, was immediately grabbed by its tail by Skadi and dragged back into the corridor of the unfinished building.
"Is this your way of greeting, Kaltsit?"
Glaring coldly at the Feline woman who was still sitting at the desk, emanating a dangerous aura, an expression of displeasure immediately appeared on Skadi's small face.
She just wanted to enjoy a pleasant trip to Columbia with Goki, helping him achieve his goal, and had no desire to see this dangerous woman.
Directly hugging the cute, or at least in her opinion, cute enough Mon3tr like a big dog, Skadi gently stroked its belly, just as Goki usually stroked her.
"Gaa da da da."
Mon3tr also obediently allowed Skadi to hug it, seemingly also particularly happy about this reunion.
Skadi, of course, did not understand the unique nature of Originium life; in her opinion, Mon3tr was just a large Originium worm.
"Too cold, Kaltsit, we've been apart for almost three months, didn't you miss me a little?—And letting Mon3tr out like this, aren't you afraid of scaring Kafka?"
Goki, meanwhile, merely brushed the dust from his jacket and walked into the room with a smile.
"Also, are you still open for business, Doctor Kaltsit? Hitting a patient who comes for a consultation will only exacerbate the instability of the doctor-patient relationship."
Sitting cheerfully in the patient's chair, Goki looked around at the furnishings.
The degree of abandonment of the unfinished buildings in the slum district was comparable to Saltwind City, and the furnishings of Kaltsit's room were also similar to the Saltwind City Ocean Research Institute; the outer living room had been converted into a small clinic, while the inner room contained various experimental instruments Goki had seen before.
Goki felt that perhaps for a thousand years, this long-lived person who walked through the dust, no matter how many identities she had used for disguise, her most fundamental job was still that of a doctor—and a general practitioner at that.
Then, Goki looked at this big Feline woman, whom he had not seen for three months, and their emerald eyes met.
Kaltsit's beautiful, unadorned face remained unchanged, and her demeanor was still cold and proud, but faint dark circles were vaguely visible around her beautiful eyes.
Clearly, Kaltsit had been very tired recently; although she had dark circles in Iberia as well, she was not as exhausted as this.
Wearing the same style of white lab coat as before, Kaltsit, upon seeing Goki, lost her respect for patients and crossed her long legs.
Her beautiful legs, encased in black stockings, swayed before Goki, particularly eye-catching.
[As expected of my wife!]
However, Kaltsit seemed unaware of how beautiful and alluring she truly was.
"Kafka has seen Mon3tr, and my clinic is open 24/7; any emergency patient can come here to find me—so, Mr. Goki, what illness do you need to consult me about?"
Still maintaining a cold expression, Kaltsit began to organize the medical records in her hand, looking at the tall man she had been separated from for a long time.
In her long life, she had experienced countless partings and reunions.
Let alone three months, she and her old friend in Kazdel had only communicated through letters for decades.
By now, Kaltsit had long been numb to the joy of reunion, let alone with this particularly special and troublesome man.
To make her "excited," whether out of joy or hatred, there were few people left in this world who could achieve it.
"Ha, if we're talking about my illnesses, there are many: infused with different blood types and models, I would lose control and turn into a beast if not restrained; dangerous liquid Originium flows within me, and now... I can even conjure fire?"
Extending his index finger, Goki flicked his right index finger, igniting a vigorous small flame.
Kaltsit narrowed her eyes; she felt a familiar power.
Then, her gaze shot towards the Liberi girl who had been obediently silent since just now, slowly inching towards the door.
"Kafka—"
"Wow—I, Kafka, wasn't thinking of running away! We just dealt with a bunch of punks who came to bother you again. Brother Gao Qi and Sister Skadi are super amazing..."
Startled, her body stiffened, and the Liberi information broker was immediately rooted to the spot, turning her head and acting like a good child towards Kaltsit.
"If you knew each other, you should have said so earlier, you made me so worried! Well, now we're all family."
Respect was one thing, but Kafka was genuinely a little afraid of this Feline woman doctor.
"I remember I've sent people to look for you many times, Kafka. Your oripathy needs a thorough examination before I can provide targeted treatment."
"Eh, it's fine, Kafka is still hale and hearty right now. Doctor Kaltsit, you can take care of those seriously ill patients first... Next time for sure, next time for sure! Besides, I don't have that much money to pay for medical expenses!"
Finally reaching the door of the small clinic, Kafka, who had been nagged by Kaltsit many times to get a physical examination, took off running.
"If you need any information, remember to come find me! I know everything that's happening in all of Columbia!"
Watching the adult girl, with her short legs, pattering away and disappearing at the end of the dilapidated stairwell, Goki shrugged.
He knew that Kaltsit was deliberately chasing Kafka away, and Kafka had also consciously left.
"She runs so fast... Actually, Kaltsit, you don't charge money at all, do you?—Skadi, come in, make yourself at home. If you haven't finished the boxed ice cream, put it in the refrigerator over there."
With only three people and one Mon3tr left in the room, Goki felt a bit more at ease, beckoning to Skadi, who was behind him and, as usual, wary of Kaltsit—pointing to the small refrigerator nearby.
"I actually hope you'd be a bit more polite... It seems your physical condition is indeed very dangerous."
Turning her attention back to Goki, and seeing the small flame burning in his hand, Kaltsit's expression was somewhat grim.
Within this flickering flame, Kaltsit sensed a power that, while not mighty, was sufficiently Advanced—even making her feel a trace of fear... The danger she spoke of was not directed at Goki, but rather... a danger to this world.
This was a disease on Terra even more perilous than oripathy.
"Mr. Goki, it seems that after parting with me, you two hunters have experienced something extraordinary. Could you tell me about it?"
Kaltsit had experienced many terrible events; although Goki's situation was dangerous, she still remained calm.
And hearing Kaltsit's words, Goki smiled with satisfaction.
"This is also one of the reasons I came to Columbia, Nona Kaltsit; I believe you are an expert in this area."
With a flip of his right hand, Goki held up the skull burning with illusory flames.
[The Wisdom of the God of Burning Wind]
This was the real power and knowledge of an ancient deity; even if it was only a small part, in nature, it was no different from the Great One itself.
And the moment this skull was taken out, Kaltsit's eyes constricted into tiny emerald dots, and the fur on her ears instantly bristled, turning into fluffy pom-poms.
"Take it away! Quickly, take it away, don't let me see this thing, It's influencing—put it away."
Her formerly calm expression, like a startled Feline, was filled with hostility and fear. Although Kaltsit's voice still barely maintained its composure, her body instinctively moved.
"Ha—oof—"
She even unconsciously let out a low growl, like a Feline whimpering during a confrontation.
With an agile leap, this usually composed large lynx actually jumped over a meter high, landing on top of the refrigerator, cautiously watching the skull in Goki's hand.
Although she always advocated scientific rationality, at this moment, Kaltsit's instincts told her—this thing was extremely dangerous!
"What exactly did you encounter in Sargon, Goki!"
