บท 15: Herbs Detected!
"So you would not mind exhausting all your wealth just for a girl, Shiva?"
The hospital's white walls portrayed the emptiness of Shiva's heart, flabbergasting Doctor Radha.
It was the time of midnight, the city seemed so bright that it could blind a man from the 2000s era. Sounds of company directors arguing over the safety of humans, and their way of life and new spiritual teachers emerging from different religions on news channels overwhelmed the solemn atmosphere of the hospital.
Many dead bodies were getting sent on to their final destination by their families, as the hospital had special rules to not interfere with new ways of burial or cremation.
If any medical expert did post mart-em of these dead bodies, one thing he would find common in them was that all of them were missing T-Cells which was terrifying.
Nod!
Shiva's stoic face finally showed a bit of expression giving a slow nod to Doctor Radha's question. At this time, the renowned Doctor Radha was always busy with operations or relaxing in the mansion she inherited from her parents, but today she has been here in her office discussing with Shiva for nonstop two hours.
"So you have decided, hmm?"
Her heart was heavy to see the boy sitting before her who had his head looking up and eyes devoid of any expression. She was acquainted with his family for a long time and wanted her daughter to be betrothed to the boy.
Alas! Destiny already bound him with another girl and foiled her plan but still, she was ready to help him with this matter because of money.
"Then I shall proceed with the plan, will notify you when I'll have enough amount of T-Cells,"
Doctor Radha closed the file on Isla's disease and handed it over to Shiva.
Shiva took the file but did not stand up from his seat and still stared at Doctor Radha creeping her out.
For a moment, Doctor Radha was in a panic but she gradually calmed herself out and asked him.
"What occurred? It's time for you to go home and get some rest, do not exhaust yourself to death!"
But no reply was heard.
Seeing this, Doctor Radha's heart shuddered for a moment from bad feeling.
Tick!
The old classy wall clock ticked and Shiva stood up from his seat.
He had not said any word for the last twenty minutes but his complexion grew darker and darker.
"No one should escape, nobody!"
Radha's eyes widened and she fell on her chair because of the shock, he was telling her to extract the T-Cells from every patient who was entering the hospital.
"Have you gone mad? How do you think I am gonna do this, huh?"
Her breathing was quick and she could not believe that he was requesting such an outrageous order, because there was a one hundred per cent chance that they would be exposed.
"Easy, you will extract the T-Cell out of the patients,"
"NO! I meant how the fuck am I gonna execute this risky task, it is fine with one patient but more than five hundred patients are walking into the hospital, I am a doctor, not a machine. And even if we managed to somehow extract the T-Cells out of the patients, what would authority do once they found us out through the investigations?"
Doctor Radha's voice was both angry and mad.
"Leave that to me!"
Clap!
The door was closed.
[Ding!]
[Herbs Detected!]
The message echoed in Orion's mind throwing him out of his dream.
He opened his eyes frantically and attempted to look around himself, but saw none besides himself in the room.
Sigh!
Orion softly punched his head to recall the fleeting dream and sighed heavily and after some time he recovered from the drowsy state he was in earlier.
"Tracker, You there? Show me the message!"
[Hello Host! Indeed here I am.]
[Some precious herbs have been detected in the area!]
"Hmm? Is there any person who has recently appeared with the herbs? Or could it be that some herbs have matured enough to contain that specific energy?"
Orion pondered over the reasons after receiving the notifications, he did not know which reason was correct but he was gonna check the surroundings.
"Ahh, I feel pretty exhausted and have a headache as well. Maybe I should ask Japhar for any way of treating it,"
After drinking the freshwater stored in the pot, which probably was done by Angelica, he closed the door and stepped out of the house.
The sun was bright yet the atmosphere of the village was dark as night. As he passed through three houses, he heard some women screaming at their children. At first, he was gonna ignore it but then he heard the word 'City Investigator'. His steps halted while he leaned on the muddy wall to listen clearly.
"From today, you will not step out of the house, some children have been found dead in the field of the village chief. So until City Investigator does not find the cause of these deaths, none of you are stepping out,"
Whoosh~
The morning breeze pushed Orion's hair back and exposed his pale face. The wolf's white teeth were revealed with magnificent light blooming all over his body while the sun rose fully in the sky.
"You couldn't divert from the old path, old man!"
The hair was pushed forward blocking anyone to see Orion's morning face as he went towards the well.
Pluck!
Angelica leaned down and picked another flower. Though the village was somewhat abnormal today, she did not forget to complete her daily task of picking these flowers which could be turned into oil or luxurious foods.
Just as she was about to lean and pick another one, a familiar scent reached and two hands took her into embrace from behind.
"Morning!"
Orion took the bucket from her and picked the flower. He had his lips widened a bit due to natural happiness and was humming a song from his previous life.
"You won't even let me do anything?"
Although she protested, there was sweetness in her voice indicating she did not dislike his current behaviour.
"Already told you yesterday miss, and what kinda man I would be if I let such a gorgeous girl like you work in the field, hmm?"
He smiled in a teasing manner and continued to pick the flowers.
She never heard these kinds of silly jokes but her complexion immediately brightened as she watched him picking the flowers with a cute expression.
[More precious herbs have been detected!]
