Goblin Dependency

Chapter 968: Chapter 481: Secret Realm 3_3

Carefully opening the suitcase carried in his left hand, he took out a delicate pocket watch that refracted a faint light under the sun, and gently pressed his fingertips on its surface.

Buzz——

The light flickered, and the space twisted.

The next second, his palm was already gripping an extremely sharp silver surgical knife.

He put the pocket watch back into the suitcase.

Adonis, holding the surgical knife, approached the door. His right hand gently brushed against the gap in the door while his left hand slightly pushed the door inward with force.

With a crisp "click" sound, the door was opened from the outside.

He casually leaned the wooden staff against the door. Carrying the suitcase in one hand and hiding the surgical knife in his sleeve with the other, he walked in slowly.

It was as if he was already prepared; the pungent smell filling the air did not surprise him.

Instead, he followed the source of the smell all the way to the outside of the study.

The door was unlocked, and he gently pushed it open and walked in.

What came into view were scattered books and notes on the floor.

The bookshelf had been pushed aside, revealing a half-opened secret door.

Similarly transformed, his keen sense of hearing allowed him to vaguely hear strange noises coming from deep within the secret door.

Adonis’s expression remained unchanged. He lightly stepped over the debris on the floor and walked into the secret door.

Behind the secret door was a long, dim passageway.

The air was as cold as a morgue, and the wall sconces that should have been lit were all extinguished, leaving the passageway almost entirely in darkness.

This was certainly not a problem for Adonis, who possessed the eyes of an iron giant eagle.

At the same time, he also heard a very familiar, rhythmic, and repetitive friction sound.

It was the sound of a surgical knife cutting through flesh.

Adonis’s eyes flickered, yet he did not conceal his footsteps as he continued forward.

Until the end of the passageway, there was a slightly ajar wooden door, with light seeping through the crack. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Squeak..."

He pushed the door open with one hand.

What appeared in his line of sight was an operating room.

It looked very formal, with the characteristic white and green tiles covering the floor, the walls painted pure white, and a few metal instrument cabinets placed to the side.

A marble operating table was positioned in the center of the room, looking like an old model that the Association had abandoned years ago, most likely acquired through underground market transactions.

The corpse of an adult man, with pale skin and atrophied muscles, lay quietly on the operating table. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Next to it, with his back to Adonis, was a tired figure clad in a blood-stained doctor’s uniform.

He certainly recognized his student.

"Mande."

After arriving in Hookfish Town, Adonis spoke his first words.

The tone was calm, yet it caused the busy figure beside the operating table to suddenly pause.

Slowly turning around.

Revealing those eyes, filled with endless frenzy and desire, dark as if they were two voids.

"Here it is..."

"I found it, Mentor..."

...

...

The flowing time and space came to an abrupt halt.

Xia Nan could even see the sharp silver glow of the surgical knife in the palm of the Doctor Association professor named "Adonis," as well as the viscous blood slowly dripping from the edge of the operating table.

Yet all of it suddenly froze at this moment.

The canyon walls rose from both sides, the swirling airflow dispersing the stench in the air, replaced by a faint scent of the sea.

The white and green tiles were once again pierced by fish bones and coral, cracks appeared on the surface of the marble operating table.

And the familiar corpse lying on the table, along with the other two figures in the room, dissipated together.

Only the leather suitcase with the Doctor Association’s emblem in Adonis’s hand remained, now quietly resting on the sofa.

Xia Nan gently opened the suitcase with both hands.

What came into view was a delicate pocket watch that refracted faint light, and an attribute panel quietly emerging from the void with focused attention.
