Steel steam and flame

"If I remember correctly, she is a woman with black hair." Cassia recalled, "Is she from your place? I remember that the female assistant was called Adina, and the young doctor was called Pnosay. No. I know if it’s right or not, because during the treatment process, there are only a few simple exchanges.”

Cassia noticed the brilliance in Dole's eyes, but didn't know what to say for a while.

"Dear guest, please allow me to ask some more private questions here. I don't know if it's okay." The treatment that had suddenly stopped continued at this time, and Dole filled the areas with severe muscle fiber rupture bit by bit. The regenerated colloid spoke calmly, but he was indeed a little excited just now.

"It depends on what the problem is." Cassia replied, "You can ask and I will try my best to answer. Dr. Punosai should be your friend. Judging from your reaction, there seems to be something wrong. I can provide you with the information All will be provided to you.”

"Thank you." Dole said gratefully, "Dear guest, can you explain the specific time when Punosai treated you, or in your eyes, his condition at that time. Physically, mentally, etc. Something like that, this kind of observable situation.”

"The specific time is a bit vague, but it was already more than half a year ago. It was probably in June, when it felt like summer here in Manoma. As for the situation, he is a very energetic young man. I think his He should be about the same age as me, and like you, he is a highly skilled doctor." Cassia thought for a while, "That's all. At that time, I was focused on treatment and didn't observe too many things. Feel sorry."

"Thank you." Dole nodded in thanks, and the sparkle in his eyes suddenly disappeared.

"Can I ask what it is?" Cassia said tentatively. There was something in his body pushing him to do this. Maybe it was intuition, or maybe it was curiosity, "After all, he was also my treating doctor at the time."

There was silence for a while, and just when Cassia thought it was Dole's acquiescence that he couldn't do it, a gentle voice came.

"Yes, but in fact, I don't know what happened." Dole said, "Punose is my friend. He is considered a person here, but he is not a person here. He was once like me, He is the teacher's student. It's just that Punosai is much smarter than me. He learned a lot of medical techniques from the teacher very early, and then with the teacher's permission, he ran out and opened his own small hospital. "

"It's a larger hospital. I've even seen it. It was built boldly on the edge of the Manoma Center. It usually sees ordinary patients. Adena was also an assistant he found after he left. He was already a friend. , and our teacher is also here, so even if he goes out, we maintain close contact. Sometimes we also share some business received by the dark world." Dole looked up at this time, " It’s just something like helping with the transfer of goods in the past when there’s not enough manpower.”

Cassia said "understood", and the relationship between Dole and Punosai was like the best friends in the class. Because most of the treatment subjects are related to people in the dark world and are affected by the environment, this kind of relationship is even deeper, just like relatives who are not related by blood.

"But more than half a year ago, shortly after Punosai treated you as a guest, we cut off contact." Dole sighed, "Not only me, but also the teacher, and everyone here who had any experience with him The person I contacted has never been heard from since that time. It seems that he has abandoned us, but in fact, it is more like we have abandoned him."

"Later, my teacher and I went to see his hospital, and it was also abandoned. It was summer, and weeds crawled over the place crazily in just a few days. There may be other places where he lives in Manoma. We all spent time exploring the hidden clinics in Manoma. Without exception, they were all abandoned, and without any warning, without any trace of cleaning up, it just felt like they suddenly disappeared from Manoma. The whole It’s like it’s been cleared away.”

"Moreover," Dole said here and stopped his hand, "Not long after this incident, the teacher told me one day that Puno Sai might be dead, and we didn't need to look for it. I asked why, and the teacher said Punosai’s identity is not simple, and it seems to be very involved with the Meredith family. Teacher, he suspects that Meredith’s hand was responsible for Punosai’s disappearance.”

"Meredith family, guest, you should be aware." Dole completed the treatment on one leg at this time, turned around calmly, picked up another piece of regenerative colloid, and began to fill the other leg, "A huge The family's influence spreads all over the empire, and it is not something that people like us can resist. From then on, both the teacher and I began to gradually forget about Punosai. If it was really Meredith's The reason is, I think we really don’t have the chance and possibility to see Punosai again.”

"But I have always had a question. If it is really Meredith's fault, why were we not affected? In my impression, a powerful force like Meredith would not let go of those who are involved." Er smiled and said, "So it's just a fantasy. After all, we are very good friends, just like family members. When treating the guests here, I will also carefully collect information from time to time. But for such a long time, you are the only guest." "

"I hope Dr. Punosai went to other areas just because of urgent matters." Cassia said sincerely, and Dole smiled and thanked him, "It has faded a lot now."

There was silence in the diagnosis room again, and Dole focused on the treatment, but at this time, Cassia felt waves in her heart. There was something that touched his heart. The Meredith family was no stranger to him. There had been a lot of dealings over a period of time, and Kara had been a member of the Meredith family.

"Is there any connection between them?" Cassia suddenly thought, feeling more and more that this was very possible. The time coincided with each other, and Kara returned to Manoma at that time to recover from the injury of the heart replacement. In addition, Punosai is also a highly skilled doctor. It should not be difficult to perform heart transfer surgery. The two can just be connected through the relationship between patient and doctor.

Kara also said at the time that the doctor was an acquaintance of hers. If they were both members of the Meredith family, it wouldn't be a bad idea for the two to know each other. And because Kara is being hunted by the Meredith family, it makes perfect sense to implicate Punosei.

Cassia doesn’t know where Kara went in the end. When she woke up from a coma, there was only a note left saying "Kara is okay". From then on, Carla and he had no history.

He also followed Dole's example and breathed a sigh of relief. Before he knew it, more than half a year had passed, and perhaps there would be no chance of meeting him in the future. The territory of the empire is very large, and most of the people in it probably live in a very small area throughout their lives.

Suddenly she felt that she might not be able to wait any longer, Cassia thought so. If it weren't for the conversation with Dr. Dole during the treatment, Cassia's senses would never have felt that such a long time had passed since Kara's incident ended. He had always felt that these things were still very close.

The military school will start soon, and I will be a second-year student at that time. In two years, or rather soon, I will graduate from the military school. Cassia's mouth moved, and the words rang in his head.

"I never had time to wait." Cassia then realized that because she quickly recalled the past year, both her small power and her own strength were growing very slowly.
