You're sick so you came to see a doctor? I don't believe it.
After brief consideration, Hibiscus understood the probing had come—much later than expected, probably still busy arguing whether this method was correct.
From her standpoint, she just needed to provide inspiration, telling them other methods existed. Currently secretly proceeding fusion technology wasn't entirely wrong either—barely managing to get through one path, like a certain unlucky young miss using this to overcome difficulties. Jin Yulu, who had both Dock Gang connections and official background, could serve as a publicity channel—Hibiscus very much welcomed this.
"Dr. Mu, I still hope you'll examine me."
"You're completely normal—you don't even have the spinal curvature most people have. If I insisted on treating you, it would easily cause problems. Whether for you or to save me trouble, there's no need for unnecessary action."
"Could it be I have some strange disease you can't figure out?" Jin Yulu raised an eyebrow.
"Don't joke with yourself. Incidentally, this level of provocation doesn't work on me. Actually I'm quite poor with other illnesses—you're welcome to question that."
Hibiscus's slightly impatient tone made the girl quickly shake her head in apology.
Nearly messed up.
Jin Yulu received the mission and trust merely to witness how treatment worked, since everyone losing memory was too bizarre. But not to investigate her, because even Changfeng Financial Group didn't want to drive away an authority expert with the best treatment so far. Similarly, official research labs also praised highly. What's memory loss? Actually their secret side effects were more terrifying than each other—Dr. Mu was a bit too gentle.
Therefore superiors had Jin Yulu chat briefly and stop there, no need to force it. If she now made this girl displeased or even leave, that would count as major loss.
"Very sorry, I absolutely mean no harm." She bowed slightly. "If I must say what's abnormal, it does exist."
"...Describe it carefully."
Jin Yulu tilted her head and said: "Much sharper senses, seeing farther, hearing details, always eating but never full—could this be stomach disease or parasites? Anyway it's very uncomfortable. This feeling is too strange. Dr. Mu, do you have any ideas?"
Hibiscus pretended to look down at medical records while actually hiding her expression changes. "Have you told anyone else?"
"Due to my work nature, I can't easily reveal such things, so I can only tell the doctor. You must keep it secret."
"Don't worry."
The other party wasn't lying—the girl was very certain of this point because Jin Yulu's body contained magic power, hidden but not manifested, continuously strengthening physical fitness without external display. Precisely speaking, another magical girl was about to awaken. But her progress was slower than Jin Ruochu's—should still need quite a while.
Ningfeng Harbor was a bit too lively, especially why so many of her kind around her? Hibiscus thought magical girls really clustered together—she didn't even need to look for them as they emerged on their own.
No rush—gradual awakening at Jin Yulu's own pace was fine too.
With this thought, she said without changing expression: "Don't be anxious. Your physical condition is very good—didn't I just say everything was normal? Perhaps your contact with Disaster Beasts triggered some mental fatigue. Such cases are everywhere—just adjust your state and rest more."
"...Alright." A trace of regret flashed across Jin Yulu's face. "Oh, there's one more thing."
"Please speak."
"This letter is from Mr. Jin Changfeng. His daughter is receiving surgery to treat infection. If possible, he hopes you can help."
"I understand." Hibiscus solemnly received it.
Since the mission was complete, Jin Yulu needn't linger and delay other patients' time, so she left somewhat disappointedly. From beginning to end, she discovered no abnormalities in Dr. Mu—performed exactly like an ordinary consulting physician. She hadn't witnessed the most crucial treatment methods because the other party blocked everything with "you're not sick." Throwing a tantrum would only mess things up, so the girl retreated cleanly.
Sure enough, no one knew what was happening to her body. Even Dr. Mu, an authority in infection diseases, just treated it as normal, instead making her own persistence seem inexplicable.
Jin Yulu trusted intuition—intuition had saved her too many times or she'd have died in disaster events long ago. One thing was certain: some mysterious power never before recorded was reviving within her body, very eerie.
No, perhaps in those few words just now, Dr. Mu had unconsciously spoken the answer: accept it calmly, treat it as nothing happened.
After leaving the clinic, the girl looked back once at the simple hut with continuous streams of people.
Jin Yulu received inspiration, thinking power was power—what mattered was how to use it. At least don't be wary like facing floods and wild beasts. Thinking of this, the inexplicable depression lingering in her heart dissipated somewhat. Had she found the right direction? Though Dr. Mu didn't understand this aspect, she could still warn others.
She breathed a sigh of relief, showing a long-absent smile as she strode away.
This movement couldn't escape Hibiscus's perception.
Magic power vision wouldn't lie—she could clearly distinguish Jin Yulu's aura response stabilizing somewhat. Just from her few words of nonsense and self-suggestion effects? Was she a genius?
Now it was Hibiscus's turn to be surprised. How did a mere passerby magical girl simply and easily begin accepting power, making great strides forward in progress! This required a sufficiently strong and optimistically open-minded heart. Jin Yulu, experienced in many battles, indeed qualified—should be no ordinary person. She'd ask netizens later and surely get intelligence.
"Next."
She continued routine consultations as usual until sunset, tides surging, stars and moon adorning the sky.
Dock residents gradually left, everyone happy and joyful. After these days of treatment, the most serious infection diseases were completely eradicated, the rest not worth fearing. It could be said Dr. Mu single-handedly turned the situation around.
Bang bang! Fireworks rose on the beach, accompanied by people's loud cheers for the girl. At this moment they celebrated both survival after calamity and prayed for the future.
Hibiscus waved farewell, about to head to the roadside when she discovered a taxi had been waiting for a long time.
"How did being a doctor feel?" Nan Zhiyi poked her head from the car window.
"Not bad. But rescue treatment alone can't solve the Disaster Beast problem—this isn't our specialty field either."
"Changing majors?"
"No change, just treating it as an interest."
"Studying medicine isn't easy."
"Being a lawyer is the same."
The two exchanged glances and smiled, then got in the taxi together to return to the city. They chatted about their respective daily schedules in the car. Before leaving, after paying the taxi driver uncle, they added a Hypnosis Technique to forget everything. Finally arriving at the residential complex where Nan Zhiyi's family lived, she handed a stack of materials to Hibiscus.
"I've mostly handled the company registration. There are still details to supplement later, but a shell company should be enough for you now, right?"
"Quite sufficient. Thanks for making the trip."
Though expected, Hibiscus had underestimated Nan Zhiyi's efficiency. Worthy of being a small business owner's child—quite familiar with procedures, supplementing many places she hadn't considered. Really worry-free, though this easily made one lazy.
"It's so late but you don't seem planning to go back." With sharp perception, the girl immediately detected Hibiscus's ready-for-action atmosphere.
"I'm going to Changfeng Financial Group."
