"..." The Deep Sea Phoenix opened its eyes and looked at Shiro, who nodded gracefully.
"Judging from the timeline, you batch of Little Reds are the most recent batch to separate from my body, so you should have the most information about me," Little White said to the Deep Sea Taihou. "Since you were capable of using runes to open entrances in the deep-sea city, you should also be able to dispel the deep-sea aura, right?"
"..."
The Deep Sea Taihou blinked, a thoughtful expression on her face, and finally nodded to Shiro as if she understood.
The way the Deep Sea Taihou looked was as if she was telling Shiro that although she hadn't tried it herself, they should still know the general process of dispelling the deep-sea aura based on the memories and knowledge Shiro left for the Taihou Network.
Having read this far, Xiaobai had already gotten the answer she wanted.
Xiao Bai smiled.
……
The time soon came to afternoon.
At the agreed time in the afternoon, someone knocked on Xiaobai's office door.
"Little Lu Lin? Are you still here?"
As soon as Nanxing's mother entered the room, she looked into the office, holding a medical record in her arms, her voice tinged with urgency.
At this moment, the critically ill Deep-Sea Infected patient mentioned in the morning has been transferred. Shenzhen Hospital has just conducted a physical examination on the patient, and the condition does not look good. Nanxing's mother came all the way to Xiaobai for help, but before she could finish speaking, her gaze subconsciously fell on Deep-Sea Taifeng in the center of the office. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes first, and then she stared at Deep-Sea Taifeng for a while.
"Huh? Little Lu Lin, this unfamiliar child... is..."
Nanxing's mother found Xiaobai and Chaoda standing on the other side and spoke, her voice tinged with curiosity.
Chapter 3743 Little White's Disciple
"Auntie, this is... my ship girl." Xiaobai explained to Nanxing's mother with a smile, "She couldn't stay by my side for a while because of some work requirements, so she didn't get to say hello to you."
"Oh...so she's your ship girl too." Nanxing's mother said in surprise.
"Has the patient arrived yet?" Xiaobai asked with a smile.
"Yes, the patient has arrived." Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Nanxing's mother immediately nodded to Xiaobai, then a slightly embarrassed expression appeared in her eyes. "The patient just finished a physical examination and is now in the ward. The condition is not good, and you may need to go and check on them immediately..."
"It's alright, let's go right now." Xiaobai walked up to Nanxing's mother and said to her.
Seeing Xiaobai's relaxed and carefree demeanor, Nanxing's mother realized that even the most severe deep-sea infection, as perceived by outsiders, was only a matter of minutes for Xiaobai. Unconsciously, she felt a strong sense of security, and the slight tension in her heart eased away.
Nanxing's mother breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze complex, and spoke to Xiaobai with emotion.
"Oh, Lu Lin, our hospital is so lucky to have you."
Xiao Bai didn't say anything about it, she just smiled.
Shiro, Daiwa, and Taihou went downstairs together and arrived at the Deep Sea Infectious Diseases Department with Nanxing's mother. They were in front of a ward with the door tightly closed.
"This is it."
Nanxing's mother said to Xiaobai as she reached out and opened the door.
The moment the door opened, a faint scent of the deep sea filled the air.
Xiaobai sensed the deep-sea atmosphere in the air. Her eyebrows twitched slightly, as if she had realized something, and she seemed to be deep in thought.
Nanxing's father was also in the room.
He was wearing a white coat, his hands in his pockets, and he stood in front of the bed with a furrowed brow, looking troubled and distressed.
"Director Nan, the person has arrived," Nanxing's mother called out to Nanxing's father.
Nanxing's father's thoughts were interrupted. He looked up at Xiaobai and his group. When he saw Xiaobai, a look of savior appeared in his eyes.
"You've come..." Nanxing's father's voice was a little excited.
"Hello, Uncle." Xiaobai came to Nanxing's father and greeted him with a smile before turning to look at the bedside.
The moment Xiaobai saw the person lying on the bed, a hint of "I knew it" flashed in her eyes.
No wonder Nanxing's mother reacted with a bit of anxiety this time...
As soon as Xiaobai entered the ward, he judged that the patients here had a serious level of deep-sea infection.
At this moment, in her field of vision, the patient on the bed was wrapped in bandages, which were stained with black and red blood. The aura of the deep sea lurked in his body, seemingly raging wildly through his internal organs.
“This patient has had the deep-sea aura infection for some time. He didn’t receive timely treatment, and the deep-sea aura has spread throughout his body. Now, we can’t find any lesions at all,” Nanxing’s father said from the side.
"Hmm..." Xiaobai nodded.
The level of infection in the patient before him was probably among the top three in all the humans Xiaobai had ever seen.
First was the former Admiral Haoding, second was the former Miao Yan, and third was him... However, the first two had a higher intensity of deep-sea infection, while the one in front of us simply received treatment for too short a time, and the deep-sea aura stayed in his body for too long, causing it to multiply excessively...
However, it's also good that this patient's infection is more severe, which will allow Xiaobai to see the level of Deep Sea Taifeng.
If Deep Sea Taihou can cure patients of this severity, then Xiaobai can confidently entrust the hospital to her care.
Thinking of this, Xiaobai turned her head to look at the Deep Sea Phoenix.
Nanxing's father saw that Xiaobai didn't move, but just looked back at the little girl she brought, and he was a little anxious and confused.
"No, shouldn't we get some treatment?" Nanxing's father asked softly, "...Is the situation too bad?"
"No, that's not true." Xiaobai smiled reassuringly at Nanxing's father, then beckoned to Shenhai Daihou, "Come here, Xiaohong."
Hearing Shiro's call, the Deep Sea Phoenix walked over gracefully and stood in front of the hospital bed.
Xiaobai, holding Shenhai Daihou's wrist, introduced him to Nanxing's father.
"Uncle, this is Xiao Hong, she is my ship girl."
“Kantai Collection girl… oh…” Nanxing’s father looked at Abyssal Taihou with some confusion.
“This time, the task of treating the patient is not my responsibility, but rather she will take over,” Xiaobai added.
"...Huh?" Upon hearing this, Nanxing's father's eyes widened, and a rare look of astonishment appeared on his face. "This, this person?"
"Yes."
"Didn't you say that only a very small percentage of people in the world know this treatment method?"
“She’s kind of my apprentice… Her physique is similar to mine, so she can learn from me.” Xiaobai looked at Shenhai Daifeng, took out a bottle of ink from his pocket, and handed it to her. After doing all this, Xiaobai said to Nanxing’s father, who looked astonished, “But don’t worry, I’m here. If she can’t handle it well, I will take over for her and will definitely ensure the patient’s safety.”
"Ah... well, that's good..." Nanxing's father's pupils relaxed, and he felt relieved.
Deep Sea Phoenix caught the ink bottle from Shiro, looked at the calligraphy brush that Shiro handed her, and shook her head.
Deep Sea Taihou unscrewed the cap of the ink bottle, looked at the patient on the hospital bed, stared at him for a long time, then reached out and touched the ink with her finger before taking it out.
Deep Sea Taihou extended its blackened fingers to the patient and wrote a tally mark on the patient's bandage.
It must be said that the characters written by the deep-sea giant phoenix are neat and tidy, and are much better written than those written by a novice with a brush.
After writing the tally mark, Taiho from the deep sea stretched out her palm and pressed it on the mark from a distance, then slowly held her breath.
The others in the room didn't feel anything, but Xiaobai and Chaoda clearly felt that strong mental energy fluctuations were emanating from Shenhai Taihou's body and were being poured into the runes she had just written.
For runes like these, it would only take a few seconds, at most a dozen seconds, for Xiaobai to infuse her mental energy into them to make them effective. However, Shenhai Taifeng maintained this posture for several minutes. Waves of her mental energy were poured into the runes. Slowly, Shenhai Taifeng's hands began to tremble, and sweat appeared on her nose.
About ten minutes later, just when Xiaobai felt that Deep Sea Taihou seemed to be struggling to hold on, and Nanxing's parents also seemed to be suffering a bit, Deep Sea Taihou finally ended the infusion of spiritual power. She lowered her arms and let out a soft sigh of relief.
Just as the Deep Sea Phoenix's arm dropped down, the rune, brimming with spiritual energy, began to glow.
The deep-sea aura emanating from the patient on the bed seemed to be stimulated, and began to rise, evaporate, and dissipate like boiling water, then vanished from the patient's body at a visible rate.
"It's a success." Xiaobai smiled sincerely when she saw this.
"It really, it's a success!" Nanxing's father almost lost his voice.
"Nurse! Quickly take the patient to another department for examination!" Nanxing's mother immediately shouted towards the outside of the ward. Soon, nurses in white caps ran into the ward and pushed the patient out of the room along with the bed.
This wasn't the first time Xiaobai had seen this scene.
After the deep-sea aura dissipated, the injuries remained, so the patient needed to be transferred to another department to examine the internal organ injuries. This was outside Xiaobai's area of expertise, and all she could do was offer her blessings.
As Xiaobai was thinking, he suddenly felt a gentle push against his shoulder.
Xiaobai turned around and saw that Shenhai Taifeng had rested her head wearily in her arms. She put her hands around Xiaobai's waist and hugged her, her whole body pressed against Xiaobai without any hesitation, as if she was seeking space to rest.
"Thank you for your hard work, Little Red." Little White smiled at the Deep Sea Taihou.
"..." Deep Sea Taihou didn't say anything, but just rubbed against Shiro's arms like a kitten.
Nanxing's father and mother, who were standing nearby, exchanged a glance as they watched this scene.
"This is the first time I've seen anyone other than you, Lu Lin, use this treatment method..." Nanxing's mother said to Xiaobai with a look of emotion.
“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded.
"Does she seem alright? She looks a little strained..."
"It's alright, this treatment will take some energy, you'll be fine after a rest." Xiaobai reached out and patted the head of the Deep Sea Taihou, saying to Nanxing's mother.
"Um……"
Nanxing's mother nodded, smiled slightly at Xiaobai, and looked casually behind Xiaobai.
then.
Nanxing's mother's smile suddenly froze.
Nanxing's mother looked at Xiaobai's lower back, at Shenhai Daifeng's hands... or more accurately, at Shenhai Daifeng's fingers, at the sparkling ring.
That's a deep-sea aura shielding device, which Xiaobai left for the deep-sea giants in the deep-sea city.
But at this moment, Nanxing's mother looked at the intimate actions between Deep Sea Daiho and Xiaobai, as well as the luster on Deep Sea Daiho's ring, and her expression became particularly complicated.
……
After the treatment ended, Xiaobai finally confirmed that the Deep Sea Taihou could indeed replace her in treating critically ill deep-sea patients.
Although her treatments are much more strenuous than Xiaobai's, there's only about one critically ill patient per week, so the job isn't too tiring for Shenhai Taifeng.
After returning to the office, Xiaobai expressed to Shenhai Dafeng her wish that she could stay in Shenzhen and work in this office for her.
The deep-sea phoenix blinked, naturally agreeing with Xiaobai's idea.
After that, Xiaobai was grateful for the deep-sea Taihou's dedication and told her that she would regularly switch her with other deep-sea Taihou. Anyway, all the deep-sea Taihou look exactly the same, so if someone is switched occasionally, outsiders won't be able to tell.
The deep-sea giant phoenix neither confirmed nor denied this.
She touched the ring on her hand, quietly nestled in Xiaobai's arms, feeling his warmth and scent, enjoying the sensation of their bodies rubbing against each other, and said nothing more.
Super Big and Little White looked at each other with a resentful expression.
Chapter 3744 Mother's Lesson
With Deep Sea Taihou taking over Xiaobai's shift, Xiaobai was relieved of his burden and no longer had to worry about being called back from afar for medical treatment when he went on missions in the future.
After connecting with Deep Sea Taiho, Xiaobai told Nanxing's father and mother that Deep Sea Taiho would be taking her place. These two elders seemed to have already realized Xiaobai's idea of bringing Deep Sea Taiho out. After hearing Xiaobai's idea, they did not show much surprise. Instead, they immediately told Xiaobai that even if Xiaobai did not come back, Deep Sea Taiho would enjoy the same high treatment as Xiaobai at Shenzhen Hospital.
Overall, Nanxing's father and mother are quite easy to talk to.
After entrusting the hospital matters, Xiaobai was now truly free of burdens in Shenzhen. The ship girls had almost finished their fun in Shenzhen these past few days, so Xiaobai simply told Nanxing's parents that she was leaving Shenzhen.
After all, Xiaobai is an admiral, and she really can't stay in Shenzhen forever.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Xiaobai's extended stay in Shenzhen has deeply moved Nanxing's parents.
Xiaobai and Nanxing's parents agreed that Xiaobai would leave in the afternoon.
Before the afternoon, in order to more accurately assess the diagnostic capabilities of Deep Sea Phoenix, Xiaobai deliberately arranged a schedule with Nanxing's parents, allowing Deep Sea Phoenix to receive several patients with mild deep-sea infection symptoms.
Compared to treating critically ill patients, treating patients with mild deep-sea infections was much easier for Deep-Sea Taiho. During the treatment, Deep-Sea Taiho exerted almost no effort. After treating three or four patients with mild deep-sea infections in one go, a few beads of sweat finally appeared on her snow-white forehead.
Upon seeing this, Xiaobai immediately called out to Shenhai Daifeng and led her back to the office with a smile.
In terms of mental strength and endurance, Deep Sea Taifeng is definitely far inferior to Xiaobai, but through these tests, Xiaobai has completely determined that Deep Sea Taifeng's level is sufficient to withstand the consumption of treating patients with deep-sea infections.
For those with mild or moderate deep-sea infections, Deep Sea Taihou doesn't usually need to treat them. Besides, she can't treat so many people by herself—Deep City Hospital was a world-renowned hospital specializing in the treatment of deep-sea infections before Xiaobai arrived. With their expertise, they could handle patients of this severity. So, after Deep Sea Taihou replaced Xiaobai, her work was similar to Xiaobai's before, which was to treat the severe deep-sea infections that Deep City Hospital only saw about one per week. That was enough.
This is why Xiaobai felt so confident leaving the Deep Sea Phoenix in Shenzhen.
In a sense, working in Shenzhen City instead of Xiaobai is much easier than working day and night to build Shenzhen City. In Shenzhen City, the hospital staff only work a few minutes a week and spend the rest of the time resting and slacking off, while the Shenzhen City's "Big Phoenixes" are all voluntarily working 996.
By the way, Xiaobai is a professor at Shenzhen Hospital with a nominal position and receives a salary.
And the amount of salary is quite substantial.
This time, Deep Sea Breeze helped Xiaobai come to work, and Xiaobai simply transferred all of his professor-level salary to her. He even planned to put all the money the hospital would give him in the future under Deep Sea Breeze's name. As for what she wanted to do with the salary in the future, Xiaobai said he wouldn't ask, as long as Deep Sea Breeze was happy with it.
……
The news that Xiao Bai was leaving Shencheng and returning to Chapter 8 seemed to have quickly reached the Nanxing Garrison.
