A friendly reminder, unless you're sure that you're a real superhuman, you can never trust a quack doctor who is trying to give you a craniotomy with an electric drill and electric saw—of course, theoretically, such quack doctors would get themselves killed whenever they step out their house.

Anyway, Lily did not think her landlord was a good doctor. He had nothing to do with a doctor at all. What happened in front of them did not look like 'treating' a patient but more like a machine was repairing another machine. Look at the slashing sparks and you know that this has zero relation with medical science. As a veteran vet, Lily thought she could still consider herself as a medical practitioner, so she decided that she would never discuss saving people with Hao Ren in the future ...

She would not talk about saving the dogs with him as well.

"It's a very sophisticated, safe and very scientific process," the data terminal was explaining, "the dormant chamber provides a powerful anesthetic and life-sustaining environment, which can be used even when it's open, and the operation of the robotic squid can be precise to the microscopic level, Hesperides's physical strength determines that she can withstand this degree of surgery easily, so the whole process is in a safe and controllable state. The reason why you don't feel right is that the bloodline of Storm Colossi has brought the patient a skeleton that is too strong—but thanks to the skeleton, so that her head didn't burst when shot by the demon hunter. Now let's move on to the next step. We'll use a small range directional explosion to clean up the necrotic tissue... Eh, why are you two so quiet?"

Hao Ren lowered his head and was plucking Lily's fur on her tail numbly and said, "Don't speak, I need to calm down."

Lily pulled back her tail and said, "Don't touch it! I want to keep it so I can pluck it too when I'm boring!"

Hao Ren said, "… I'm just kidding… But isn't your tail always your treasure? How could you pluck it?"

Lily put on a long face and hugged her tail, petting the charred hair that was burned 1/3 and said, "It's burnt here anyway, clean it up so there's room for new fur."

While they were talking, the 'operation' finally stopped. The robotic squid jabbering happily and drifted aside. The data terminal flew over to take a look, and then it deliberately declared in a rigid voice, "The operation is completed successfully, the patient's physiological characteristics are stable, and her emotion is steady. Who's going to clean it up?"

Hao Ren and Lily quickly ran to the chamber to check Hesperides's situation. It turned out that the situation was much better than expected, and there was not even a lot of blood in the dormant chamber. It seemed that robotic squid had use some methods to achieve the perfect hemostasis. While Hesperides was resting and breathing steadily in the coffin, the wound on her forehead was slowly healing. When the forced dormancy effect was turned off, Hesperides took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, rolled her eyeballs and then sat straight up. "Done?"

Hao Ren pointed to her forehead and said, "Confirm it yourself."

Hesperides touched the hole on her brain, then dug the hole carelessly. Her action frightened Hao Ren and Lily and gave them goosebumps, but she seemed to feel nothing. When she touched her wound and found that it was healing fast, she dug deeper and found no arrowhead inside, she was pleasantly surprised and breathed a sigh of relief. "Unexpectedly... It's healing!"

Then she jumped out of the chamber and looked at the equipment and the robotic squid that was wiping its tentacles unbelievably and said, "What should I say... The situation here is messy, but it actually solved the problem!"

Hao Reb laughed and nodded. To be honest, he himself also found the whole process incredible. But in the end, he could only attribute it to two factors: the insanely strong body of Hesperides and the power of Goddess of Raven 12345 who never play by the rules. Anyway, things relevant to these two points never developed normally. And this time the two points collided, it was gratifying to see nothing bad happened.

"This is the arrowhead taken out from your head," Hao Ren beckoned to the robotic squid to come over and took a long, narrow triangular piece of metal that was only an inch long and shimmering with a slight silvery glow. He handed it to Hesperides and asked, "You still need it? I'll keep it for research if you don't need it anymore."

Hesperides looked at it with a weird look and said, "It has been with me for thousands of years..."

Hao Ren was quite shocked and said, "Don't tell me you have feelings to this stuff?! I can cure the physical wound but there's nothing I can do with psychological wound!"

"You can keep it," Hesperides said and smiled. Hao Ren noticed a slight change in her temperament. The gloomy feeling had subsided a lot and was replaced with a peaceful and slightly energetic feeling as if the arrowhead in her head had affected the 'Goddess of Twilight' under normal circumstances. She pushed the arrow back to Hao Ren, then solemnly bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, wizard, although I always feel you are very suspicious from head to toe, you're the first trustworthy person I met since the end of the mythological age. In this terrible age, there are not many people like you who are willing to help others sincerely."

Hao Ren did not know how to answer, so he just smiled and then carefully put the arrowhead into his dimensional pocket and study it when he was free.

Three of them left the basement. At this time, Vivian had just cleaned the furniture in the living room. She looked at Hao Ren curiously and asked, "What were you doing down there? Why does it sound like a construction site?"

Hao Ren, "…"

Hesperides pointed to her forehead and said, "He's treating me, you see here."

"Treating? Using an electric saw?" Vivian was mumbling while twisting the rag, but when she saw Hesperides's forehead, she was surprised and asked, "Hold on... The hole is filled?"

"It's an engineering marvel," Hao Ren put his hands on his back pretending to be very knowledgeable, nodding his head as he spoke inscrutably, "although it's difficult to ascribe it to medical science."

"What kind of weird things are you doing?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren doubtfully, then waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you always do something surprising. Anyway, Hesperides, you can be happy now, this trip is not wasted. Let me make a few specialty dishes for you to celebrate it."

Hesperides looked pleasantly surprised at Vivian. As her friend for many years (although they only met each other about one or two times every century), she knew that this weird vampire was a good cook, at the same time, she also knew that how precious it was for Vivian to treat her--after all, most of the time, Vivian could not afford to buy vegetables. Hesperides even thought that she could take it as news and spread the news after she went back.

But Hao Ren looked outside and realized the sun was sinking, it was now evening and a lot of places in this big waiting to be cleaned. He worried that Vivian could not handle the workload and said, "How about tomorrow? I worry you're worn out."

Vivian smiled, pointed to the direction of the bathroom and said, "Don't worry, Nangong Wuyue just developed a new function, she can handle some of the tasks of cleaning up the house from now on."

Just as Vivian finished her words, Hao Ren saw that the bathroom door was pushed open. Nangong Wuyue, who was still in the shape of sea snake, crawled out in a wavy motion. The tail of three or four-meter-long was wrapped in a damp cloth every half meter. The siren girl slid in S-shaped from the bathroom to the living room, and the place where she passed was spotless.

And she dried the floor and released oxygen-enriched ions at the same time

Lil Pea also followed her and had fun. The little kid tied a handkerchief on her tail, trying to keep up with the pace of Nangong Wuyue, and left her footprints on the floor.

Hao Ren turned his head to looked at Hesperides who was touching the little scar on her forehead, and he thought: Well, the wound on this sister's head was healed, but what can I do to mend the hole in the brain of those weirdos in the house?

Later, Rollie, who had been wandering outside for several days, was finally home. First, Rollie had to greet Lil Pea, and then, Lily had to greet Rollie. The strange landlord and strange tenants in this big house finally gather together. They had been chitchatting until late at night before they went back to their rooms.

The next morning, Hao Ren began writing the report of this operation. He felt that he must let Raven 12345 knew what was going on in the Athens Sanctuary.
