Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 16 They Don't Deserve My Pity

Near the plaza at 101 York Street.

Margaret stopped the demon.

The other party's limbs had already been smashed by the gun in Margaret's hand during the chase, and they were just holding on at this moment.

A threatening roar.

Margaret cut off the opponent's last active leg with a sword.

Human corpses with completely twisted limbs.

The devil is like a salted fish, it can only struggle on the ground.

Rhodes came from a distance.

John followed him.

"Miss Margaret, are you all right?"

John looked at the demon on the ground who split his lips and stuck out his tongue at him, his complexion turned green. He had just been stained with the demon's slime on his forehead.

"It's okay." Margaret looked at Mr. Plague Doctor.

There were hardly any traces of fighting on the opponent.

Seeming to see Margaret's doubts, Rhodes whispered: "Although I am a person full of compassion, they have nothing worthy of my pity."

Margaret's mouth twitched.

Well, Mr. Epidemic Doctor's response is really different.

John stood behind Rhodes, his eyes filled with endless reverence.

This kind of man who can say what he thinks in his heart in the face of big shots is really very human.

"I've caught it, take it back first, and wait for the approval of the director tomorrow, and then we will conduct the next step of the autopsy investigation."

Margaret set the tone for the incident.

April 1588, 4 in the old calendar, overcast.

Bureau Chief Joseph's mood is as bad as cockroaches in his coffee, and the fact is that he got a blowfly in his coffee this morning.

He couldn't even open a window because of the stench of garbage in the alley next to the Authority.

Bang!
The door of the chief's office was pushed open.

"Director Joseph, hasn't the application report been approved yet?"

Margaret, who was wearing a black uniform, stood at the desk and asked.

Looking at the little ancestor in front of him, Joseph took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I'm sorry, Miss Margaret. Approval requires a process, and the process is stuck in the selection of the person in charge of the autopsy. We hope that Wolfe, the dean of the old London almshouse, will preside over the autopsy."

"Wolf? You're talking about the old liar who used to give Prince William an enema to treat fever?" Wolfe's name was widely spread in the aristocratic circle.

Of course, it was his reputation for incompetence, and Prince William's reputation has soured since then.

"He's just a liar with nothing but fame!" Margaret retorted. "If possible, I hope you can come and see with me"

"As for the ability of Mr. Epidemic Doctor, I think you should see it with your own eyes."

On the second floor of the Administration Bureau, in the service hall.

Usually there are very few people here, basically only those who issued commissions and came to complain.

But today, most of the people in the neighborhood rushed over.

Some of them came to watch the excitement, and some came to treat illnesses.

People living along the Thames suffer from parasites in the river.

After capturing the demon back to the management office yesterday, Rhodes informed Margaret of the fact that the parasite had grown to a certain level and could turn humans into demons, and Margaret immediately did it. There was a reaction.

She paid for staff to find parasite-plagued people along the Thames to come to the Authority for treatment.

Of course, treatment is free for all.

With a knife in hand, Rhodes digs out the parasitic worms from the parasitic people.

With the increase in the number of surgeries, Rhodes' skills became more and more proficient, and with Margaret's financial support, Rhodes' surgery went quite smoothly.

At the same time, he also harvested a large number of light balls from the worm's red anger.

Watching people with gauze tied around their hands and feet being sent out.

A shocked look appeared on Joseph's face.

This unprecedented scene made him doubt whether he had seen a miracle.

The parasite, which was said to be impossible to be removed from the human body, was unexpectedly able to be removed by a second human being.

The technology monopolized by that bastard Robert has finally been mastered by someone else!

That old bastard took a lot of flying knife money with his own technology!

Of course, these are all Joseph heard from Wolfe.

The last time he had tea with Wolfe, he heard that Robert even held a gun to his head and forcibly snatched 2000 kroner from his pocket.

If he can win over this person who can perform parasite removal surgery, it may be able to reduce Robert's influence in the circle.

Thinking of this, Joseph walked to Rhodes under Margaret's gaze.

Chi!
Boiling steam steamed from the bird's beak mask.

With the black beak in front of his face, Joseph felt a little embarrassed. He tried to talk to this man, but they seemed to be ignored.

And when it was forcibly approached, it became what it is now.

"Your face isn't parasitized. Could it be that you have bugs in your brain?" Rhodes held a scalpel and grabbed Joseph's clothes. He was in good condition just now, but the old bald man forcibly blocked himself in front of him.

If it weren't for seeing that the other party came here with Margaret.

He felt that it was necessary to take a look for him to see if his brain had been filled with cow dung.

Of course, at this time, Joseph also realized that he had lost his composure just now.

He is the director of the administration!
"Cough, I'm sorry, I was excited just now. I apologize for my behavior. I want to formally invite you to become an external doctor of the Administration. You only need to work for 20 days and you can enjoy a monthly subsidy of 3000 crowns." Joseph solemnly said Said.

Rhodes ignored the other party and continued with the operation in hand.

External doctor?20 days of work, 3000 crowns a month?

But he had only worked with Margaret for 2 days, and he had 15 crowns in his hands.

Isn't following a rich woman better than following you, an old bald man?

Margaret stood aside.

Seeing Mr. Epidemiologist ignoring Director Joseph, he felt emotional.

As expected of Mr. Epidemic Doctor, his behavior style is always far beyond ordinary people.

Ordinary people will tremble when they see the director of the management bureau, be respectful, and deal with it carefully.

But this one basically didn't take the other party seriously.

Feeling that he was being ignored, Joseph wanted to get angry, but he could only stare blankly at the thought that the technology mastered by the other party made him jealous.

Finally, holding back his anger, he returned to Margaret's side.

"It would be even better if his character is as good as his technique." Joseph shook his head embarrassingly.

"Perhaps, it is precisely because of Mr. Epidemic Doctor's character that he has created his outstanding skills today?" Margaret thought of Mr. Epidemic Doctor's arrogant posture in the alley, perhaps it was such an arrogant person, Only with such technological achievements and breakthroughs.

After hearing this, Joseph fell into a long silence.

"Then choose him." After a long time of consideration, Joseph finally decided to return the 1 crowns that Wolfe sent last night into the fund and return him.

Compared with 1 kroner, it may be more exciting if you can gain the favor of the epidemic doctor and attack Robert's authority in the circle.
