385,
Repeatedly questioned, prompting Dudu to finally confront the core of the issue.
Think, think again.
The answer was already on the tip of Dudu's tongue, all Dudu had to do now was to do nothing.
Having understood the answer, Dudu realized the true reason for shedding tears.
If Cyclone didn't lend a hand, did Dudu have a reason to stand still?
No, Dudu didn't want to become like this.
Hating this version of themselves, Dudu erupted in anger and overturned everything behind them.
"Not like this! I want, I want..."
With the drive to move forward, Dudu finally transitioned from standing to action.
Among the overturned things, Dudu picked up a large piece of cloth.
Not relying on Cyclone, not relying on anyone else, no longer a witch doctor, but wanting to return to the self before being eroded, in the identity of a doctor, Dudu decided to start running.
Even stumbling, Dudu ran towards the outside of the dungeon.
Watching Dudu run, Cyclone said nothing, did not interfere, just smiled.
Breathless, Dudu ran outside.
For the first time, Dudu risked being discovered and ran to the ordinary people.
Not for any reason, but to save the patient in front of them.
Arriving outside, Dudu saw three human beings.
Two men and one woman, one of them lying on the ground.
Finally understanding the reason why the female said he couldn't be saved.
His right foot, gone.
From the place where it was severed, it seemed to be bitten off by sharp teeth.
Now bandaged with blood-soaked cloth, but judging from the amount of bleeding, he would soon die from excessive blood loss.
The simplest method would be to burn it directly to scab the wound.
But upon closer inspection, aside from the missing right foot, the patient had multiple bite wounds elsewhere on his body.
If a large-scale burning was done now, even if it stopped the bleeding, he would die immediately.
Only direct suturing and cleaning of the wound would suffice.
Dudu took a step forward.
"Don't, don’t come near!! Monster!!"
The man kneeling beside the patient yelled at Dudu.
"Wait, wait..."
In the man's eyes, Dudu saw a familiar expression of fear he had seen countless times before.
Not only the man, but the woman behind him was also screaming.
During the stumbling outside earlier, Dudu's lower body cloth had fallen off.
After turning into a monster, his body had also become enormous, enlarging Dudu's sword as well.
Cyclone's joke was not just a joke, with the two extra horns above and below, Dudu's sword had turned into a trident that, if not handled properly, could impale a person directly.
The woman had come seeking love, but now seeing this thing, naturally went into a fright.
"Listen, listen..."
"Ah!!!!!!"
"Listen, listen..."
"Ah!!!!!!"
Every time Dudu tried to say something, the woman would start screaming.
Dudu was so scared he didn't know what to do, but the patient in front of him was struggling, Dudu couldn't afford to be weak anymore.
"Ah, Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah!!!!!!! If you keep shouting, I'll kill you!!!!"
Having said that, revealing the monstrous side, Dudu pointed at the woman and roared in anger.
Startled by the roar, the woman curled up in fear.
But because of this, Dudu was finally able to speak.
"If you want to save this man, take him downstairs," Dudu threw out a large piece of cloth from his hand.
"But... But you are..."
The man was clearly terrified by Dudu's appearance.
But Dudu had done what he could, knowing that he was a monster, an undeniable fact.
Therefore, Dudu did not force an explanation, but simply stared into the man's eyes.
...
After a brief stare down, the man cried out, "Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!!"
Faced with the incomprehensible, the man, for the sake of his brother, could only cling to his last hope.
"Monster! Listen!! If you dare to harm my brother..."
"You can kill me!" Dudu cut him off before the man could finish.
"Quick!" The man carefully placed the patient on the cloth and, together with Dudu, carried him downstairs to the dungeon.
Upon returning to the dungeon, Dudu was met with Cyclone, who was already wearing a mask and gloves, waiting at the operating table.
...
Dudu was momentarily stunned.
"What are you waiting for?" Cyclone lightly shook his head, indicating to place the patient on the operating table quickly.
Although Dudu couldn't understand Cyclone's sudden change, with a life in front of him, as a doctor, all Dudu could do now was focus on how to save the patient before him.
"Alright, let's begin," said Cyclone, and the surgery officially started.
