I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 539 The Healer Who Heals Everything

"Isn't it... outrageous?"

Faced with Xi's question, Li Luo was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She held the piece of gold that was turned from stalactites and stared with wide eyes.

"We have been deliberately hiding this matter. The outside world thinks that we are just 'doctors' who have the ability to cure everything, but they don't know that what kind of disease can be cured is completely defined by us."

"When I transformed the parasitic plant and created the red spirit flower, I had a question: Is there something wrong with the definition of disease that doctors have always used?"

"For patients, parasitic plants are a disease worse than death, a demon that erodes the body, but for parasitic plants, they are just reproducing instinctively."

"For viruses, their life is to find cells, drill into cells, start replicating, then leave cells and continue to look for cells. Their world is made up of a bunch of 'transparent spheres', which are where they replicate."

"We eradicated the virus in order to cure the disease. From the virus's perspective, a world-destroying disaster had struck, killing all of its companions. We cured the patient, but destroyed an entire race."

"I have asked this question to the elders before, but they told me that we are just doctors, not gods. Our duty is to cure diseases, not to consider the equality of all living beings. Don't think too much about it."

"But I think we have to figure it out..."

Having said that, Xi stopped talking. He looked at the road ahead and fell silent.

Li Luo still held the gold and said nothing. She didn't know the answers to those questions, but she knew the source of the doctors' confusion.

"position."

If it were a human doctor, such doubts would not arise, because human doctors think about problems from the perspective of curing humans. They will not consider the safety of any viruses, bacteria, or parasites. As long as they can ensure human safety and cure human diseases, they have fulfilled their duties.

But doctors are of a different race, they stand from the perspective of "all living beings".

To treat pathogenic diseases, it is inevitable to kill other living things.

Life also brings death, and it is absolutely impossible to pursue balance.

If the pathogen is allowed to grow, the patient will die; if the patient is allowed to grow, the pathogen will die. As a doctor, one must have an exact definition of the disease before being able to decide life or death. That is why they are so concerned about "what is disease?"

Doctors' abilities are innate, but their views on diseases can be changed. Their abilities also allow them to perform all kinds of outrageous "cures", and once their thinking deviates, terrible consequences can result.

This kind of thinking about the disease will not produce any results. Different conclusions will be drawn from different standpoints, so the elders told Xi not to think too much.

Li Luo sighed and suppressed what he was about to say.

This kind of thing can only be figured out by Xi himself. Talking too much will interfere with his judgment.

Just like that, the two of them fell into silence and walked further and further along the dry riverbed.

As he walked, Xi picked up another piece of stalactite fragment, held it in his hand, and seemed to be thinking about something.

……

Mo Ling controlled the cube and followed Li Luo all the time.

His attention was always on the ball of light above Xi's head.

Until now, he still felt that the light was staring at him, which made him feel creepy. No matter which corner of the cube he hid in or which direction he turned his vision, the ball of light was always staring at him.

Even if Mo Ling didn't look at anything and closed his eyes completely, he would still feel like a thorn in his back.

"What exactly is a healer?"

Mo Ling had no choice but to go back into Xi's healing space. Only in here could he not feel that creepy gaze.

This time, there were no more bright flowers, and no oppressive dark clouds in the sky. It seemed like a completely different scene.

This is a cave. The rock walls of the cave look like blurry textures, and a fake stream flows through the bottom of the cave. Everything looks very shoddy.

The familiar withered figure squatted beside the stream, holding a stalactite in his hand.

This time, Mo Ling basically understood that this withered human figure was Xi himself. The healer creature seemed to be able to exist in both reality and healing space at the same time. The one in front of him was Xi in the healing space.

Mo Ling walked silently behind Xi. Xi seemed very troubled. He stared blankly at the stalactite fragments in his hand and didn't notice Mo Ling behind him at all.

“What exactly is disease?”

Xi looked at the stalactite fragments and muttered to himself.

"You are sick." He said to the stalactite, and with a touch of his hand, the fragment turned into a piece of gold.

"So, is the illness cured?" Xi stared blankly at the piece of gold, seemingly dissatisfied.

At this moment, Mo Ling behind him spoke:
"Can you turn into diamond?" Hearing the sudden voice, Xi was startled and stood up straight immediately.

He turned around and found that it was Mo Ling standing behind him.

"senior?"

Why did the senior suddenly visit my space again? Can the senior travel to other doctors' spaces at will?
After thinking about this, Xi suddenly realized.

No wonder! I didn’t find you when I woke up in the flowers. You must be able to teleport over long distances and visit other doctors!

"Senior, how did you get here?" Xi asked curiously.

"I came in directly." Mo Ling answered truthfully.

After hearing the answer from the "senior", Xi became more certain of his guess.

"Senior, what do you mean by turning into a diamond?" Xi didn't quite understand what the senior meant. Is there some special meaning in this?
"It means turning into diamonds. You can turn into gold, can you turn into diamonds?"

"of course can."

Although I don’t quite understand it, since the senior asked me to do so, there must be a reason.

Xi touched the gold with his hand, and a huge diamond appeared in his hand.

Mo Ling came over immediately, and his huge square head almost stuck to the diamond.

"You can really transform, that's amazing!"

"Thank you for the compliment. I think most doctors can do this." Xi said a little embarrassedly.

"Can you give me the diamond? You can make it anyway."

"Well, Senior, of course you can, but this is fake, the healing space is automatically generated..."

"It doesn't matter." Before Xi finished speaking, the senior took the diamond from his hand, and then the diamond disappeared in the senior's hand.

Before Xi could figure out how the senior did it, the senior excitedly asked, "What else can you change into?"

"It should be all right..."

As he spoke, another piece of stalactite fragment appeared in Xi's hand.

This is a structure generated by the healing space. As Xi's "patient", it certainly has everything. As long as Xi doesn't heal it, these stalactite fragments will continue to appear.

"Can it turn into turquoise?"

"of course can."

The stalactite fragment in Xi's hand turned into a piece of turquoise.

"Can I have this?"

"Row."

The senior took the turquoise from him again...

"Can it be turned into a TV?"

"What's a TV?" Xi asked confusedly.

"Oh, that's a bit embarrassing for you. Never mind. What about the sofa?"

"What is a sofa?" Xi was even more confused.

"You don't know about the sofa? What about the chair? The chair must know, right? Forget it, wait a minute, I'm going to get something, don't move around here..."

After a while, the senior found a human electronic screen from somewhere and began to show Xi all kinds of strange things.

"This is a sofa, this is a gaming chair... and this, this is a TV, but I don't have electricity, forget it, I don't want this..."

Xi held the stalactite fragments in his hands, listening to his senior constantly imparting various knowledge to him, his thoughts a little confused.

He really couldn't figure out what his senior was trying to do, and he couldn't understand those strange terms at all.

"It would be nice to have a diesel generator, but it might be a bit noisy..."
