Their commission was suspicious.

Chapter 726 The Sanatorium Paradise Project

"Hehehe!" Chen Luo chuckled as he took the bottle containing golden liquid that suddenly appeared beside him.

Then, he poured a drop of the liquid from the bottle into the water tank next to him, and then returned the bottle to the hand that suddenly appeared in the air.

The staff member chopping vegetables nearby seemed completely unaware of this.

The drop of golden liquid disappeared instantly after entering the water tank, and Chen Luo calmly took out a ladle of water and poured it into the pot.

Although modern society can solve 99% of water problems by directly using taps, this is Twilight Street, and the water pipes might explode at any time due to gang fighting, so it is still necessary to store water for daily use.

As Chen Luo put the ingredients into the pot, they cooked together with the water that had been soaked in orange juice.

Orange Juice: A fluid doll imprint specially concentrated and mixed with the power of faith. A single drop is enough to dollify the entire sanatorium, or even assimilate half of Twilight Street.

Thanks to the convenience of the doll imprint and the power of faith, orange juice can be considered an important and convenient item for carrying out the Human Orange Juice Project.

This is why Chen Luo came here to work as a chef for free.

Chen Luo even made these dumplings specifically for the sake of the vinegar.

Chen Luo came to Twilight Street mainly to check the effects of the orange juice, and incidentally, he also took the opportunity to make this sanatorium into a puppet.

The Human Orange Project will eventually have different priorities, but this nursing home's priority is undoubtedly high.

Besides the fact that both heroes lived here, it was also because this place would soon be the site of a brutal massacre.

It can't be called inhumane. In fact, when Chen Luo arrived, he had already noticed that the symptoms of Honkai disease in the children living in the sanatorium could no longer be suppressed, and some of them had even reached the late stage.

Honkai disease is incurable, and when a large number of Honkai patients gather together, it can easily cause a Honkai disaster.

The Fire-Chasing Moth had heard that someone in Twilight Street was secretly collecting patients suffering from Honkai disease, and the real culprit was Aponia.

The patients referred to here are naturally those children.

Who knows when the people sent by the Fire Moth will wipe this place out one by one? So the sooner we turn it into a puppet, the sooner we can feel at ease.

At the same time, Chen Luo also wanted to personally observe up close what happens when ordinary people are turned into puppets.

Chen Luo wasn't in the Fire Chaser during the Fire Chaser event, so he didn't witness the process of the soldiers being turned into puppets.

Twilight Street is indeed a place where many talented people emerge, so it is definitely worth Chen Luo's special trip.

Although gifted individuals like Aponia are few among the Thirteen Heroes, who knows if there are others with similar special abilities in unknown corners who have remained undiscovered and un-fused, simply disappearing silently into the tide of resistance against Honkai.

Moreover, even ordinary people possess unlimited potential.

Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it.

But when faced with the terrible catastrophe of Honkai, everyone is equal.

They will face an equal death.

These special gifted individuals may die later, but they will eventually die.

Even the entire civilization was destined to perish.

But from this perished civilization, even more beautiful flowers will bloom.

What Chen Luoneng could do was to move as much of this doomed civilization as possible into the doll collection, so that it could continue in another form.

The advantage of this human orange juice project is that it only takes effect after the target dies.

This way, the other person can enjoy the full life they have as a human being.

Although Chen Luo didn't initially intend to gain anything, the choice between the two civilizations was too unbearable for him. However, he later discovered that the fanatic-level faith power provided by these puppets seemed quite useful.

However, they have now entered a strange cycle: turning people into puppets can grant them faith power, but Chen Luo's current faith power is insufficient to turn enough people into puppets.

So for now, they can only rely on Chen Luo's savings to make ends meet. Once the savings are exhausted, they'll have to go to Teyvat to make a few more bucks.

Fortunately, there is still a long time before the destruction of the previous civilization.

After filling Twilight Street and the surrounding area with orange juice, Chen Luo's main target will be the Mu Continent, which was about to sink during the Ninth Herrscher era.

"Alright, pour the rest of the orange juice into the water sources I marked. Although throwing it directly into the underground river will eventually have an effect, the sooner everyone drinks it, the more people can be moved to the doll collection."

"Oh, right, don't sneak a sip. Although it's useful to you, the special orange juice can't activate your evolutionary abilities," Chen Luo casually mentioned.

"Understood, sir." After taking the orange juice and the map marked in Chen Luo's hand, the assassin left Chen Luo.

Now the assassins should go and add measured amounts of orange juice to each of those water sources.

Surely an assassin could handle something this simple?

If this really can't be done, then just leave the group.

"Hehehe!" Chen Luo made one delicious dish after another, each made with water mixed with orange juice but not visible.

Chen Luo tries his best to ensure that everyone in the sanatorium can eat these meals mixed with orange juice.

Of course, if someone is stubborn and lucky enough not to drink any, it's not a big problem. After all, when the orange juice flows into the water source later, the water in and around Twilight Street will be affected by the orange juice, so it's not too late to drink it then.

perhaps……

"What are you laughing at?" Qian Jie, who had been drawn nearby by the aroma of the food, couldn't help but ask when he heard Chen Luo's cackling laughter.

It wasn't that Qianjie was overly curious; it was because Chen Luo's smile was so strange that it didn't seem like a normal person could laugh.

"Cough cough cough..." Chen Luo coughed several times in a row after his spellcasting was interrupted by Qian Jie.

“I’m learning the villain’s laugh,” Chen Luo explained later.

“…Why don’t you stay at the sanatorium a little longer?” Qianjie said.

"Huh?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"Perhaps you should consider receiving psychiatric treatment."

"..."

Chen Luo suspected that Qian Jie was cursing him, but he had no proof.

However, this at least proves one thing: before the fusion surgery and before his mental alienation became so severe, although he was very irritable, he was still a normal person.

After glancing at the environment where Chen Luo was cooking, as well as the cooked food and the water source he was using, Qian Jie did not sense any danger and left.

This was the true purpose of Qian Jie's journey, not to mock Chen Luo's unpleasant laughter.

However, since orange juice is not a poison, and in a sense, it is a special substance that can help organisms evolve, the beast-like intuition of the Thousand Tribulations is of no use at all.

Although Qianjie said he didn't care about guns, there are many other ways to kill someone besides guns.

Although Qian Jie appeared to be very irritable, his mental degeneration continued to increase in the later stages.

But Qianjie's wish was actually very simple: to have a home.

Qianjie's original "home" was destroyed for some reason, which is why Qianjie left that place, and in doing so, he knocked down the Herrscher of Ice and killed her.

He was eventually taken in by the staff of the sanatorium where Aponia lived, and became a porter, just like he is now. Qianjie is quite satisfied with his current situation.

Therefore, for Qianjie, if anyone dares to destroy this sanatorium, Qianjie will tear their entire family apart.

This is also why the late Thousand Calamities and Aponia were so at odds.

The sanatorium was eventually destroyed, and the reason why Thousand Calamities and Aponia were brought back to the Firemoth was because a Great Collapse was about to occur there.

The reason for the Great Collapse was that Aponia had taken in a large number of children infected with the Honkai disease in her sanatorium.

Honkai disease is incurable, and those infected with it will eventually die. All Aponia's efforts are in vain.

Although Qianjie didn't dislike this kind of life, it was indeed a fact that the sanatorium was destroyed because of Aponia.

……

After the dishes were cooked, the task of serving them was handed over to the staff member, a woman who looked very gentle and was around 30 years old.

When Chen Luo arrived at the restaurant, he saw Hua sitting next to Aponia reading storybooks to the children. It looked quite harmonious, except that sometimes one of the naughty kids would utter "handsome big brother," which would make Hua a little uncomfortable.

The atmosphere at this sanatorium is indeed quite good. Aponia is indeed very talented in taking care of people, but sometimes her motherly love is too heavy, and she doesn't want to give up anything, and in the end, everything perishes because of her.

It sounds somewhat like Tiamat.

After seeing Chen Luo arrive, Hua said a few words to the children, then handed the storybook to Aponia and walked towards Chen Luo.

Although the children were a little sad to see their handsome older brother leave, what mattered more right now was the new storybook in Aponia's hands.

“Doctor, these children here…” Hua walked up to Chen Luo, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly began to speak.

Hua has now gotten used to calling Chen Luo "Luo," and the reason he calls him "Doctor" is naturally because what he is about to say is related to doctors.

“Many of the children here have Honkai disease, and most importantly, their Honkai disease is already quite severe. If such a large number of Honkai patients are gathered together…” Hua did not give the result, but Hua felt that Chen Luo, who specialized in Honkai research, should know better than herself what would happen.

Chen Luo is now recognized as one of the doctors in the Moth of Fire headquarters who knows the most about Honkai.

Although he is currently just an assistant, almost everyone thinks he has a bright future.

Even Hua, who is only responsible for combat, knows that the current situation of a large number of Honkai patients gathering is a very bad thing.

However, Chen Luo wasn't here just now, and Hua didn't know whether to tell Aponia.

"Don't worry, I'll make a suggestion to them before I leave," Chen Luo said.

Not everyone knows about the Great Collapse.

Most of them only knew about the Honkai disease.

But Chen Luo felt that even if he told Aponia about this, Aponia wouldn't send the children away, because it was simply impossible to do so.

These children will only face death if they leave the sanatorium, because this is Twilight Street!

They took the children in because they were soft-hearted at the time, and now they can't bring themselves to send them away, so this is a dead end.

Unless Chen Luo personally eliminates them all now, the original storyline will continue.

But Chen Luoke has no intention of making a move.

Chen Luo simply couldn't bring himself to do something like entering the darkness alone to allow others to walk into the light.

Can't you just explain it properly?

Moreover, as long as the other party has eaten and been turned into a doll, it doesn't matter whether the other party dies sooner or later.

By continuing to follow the plot, one can survive for a longer period of time.

……

"Wow, this is so delicious!"

"Is this really food that humans could make?"

"Big brother, I love you, please marry me."

"Don't waste your life on such an absurd reason, Qianjie, don't look at me like that," Chen Luo said with a dark face.

Chen Luo knew that his cooking skills were very good. Even without the support of the bar, his master-level cooking skills were equivalent to those of a five-star chef.

But can you guys be a little more reserved?

"I never expected you to have such good cooking skills." Even Aponia was moved by the deliciousness of the food.

This time, Chen Luo used the bar's influence to try and get the kids to stop being picky eaters and at least take a bite.

With the blessing of faith, as long as a living being drinks water, no matter how much or how little, the faith power hidden in the doll's mark will infuse it to the point that it can turn the other person into a doll.

Of course, if the portion exceeds the normal two-person serving size, the process will be abandoned, and then Chen Luo will be notified.

Because such people usually have special traits, or are even fusion warriors.

Take Aponia, for example. Although the fusion surgery has not yet been performed, two servings of orange juice are not enough to turn the other into a doll.

Oh, right, and there's Qianjie next to him.

Hua? Hua was already caught in the trap.

For someone like Hua, who will undergo fusion surgery later on, this amount of orange juice lurking in the other person's body is simply not enough to instantly transform the other person's soul into a puppet once they become a fusion warrior. So, whether it works or not, that's why Chen Luo didn't remove it.

However, the other party may undergo a dual transformation, both mentally and physically, and might even dilute the orange juice.

As Chen Luo ate his meal, he watched the orange juice gradually take effect and lie dormant in the bodies of everyone who had eaten.
