Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 16: Can the Son Repay the Father's Debt?

"My parents?"

"Yes." Joseph took out a roll of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Charlotte. "They conducted some research from a medical perspective on the relationship between the madness of magical creatures and the Red Moon. This included exploring the possibility of interrupting the Red Moon's influence on the corrupted creatures and restoring their sanity.

At that time, their report didn't receive much attention, and their research was cut short due to an accident that occurred shortly after they began.

Over the years, I have encountered countless corrupted creatures, and some of them were special cases that made me realize their assumptions might be correct. If we can truly find a method to block the corruption, perhaps we can achieve the goal of eliminating it differently."

Charlotte held onto the parchment, which contained concise information about how the Red Moon affected magical creatures, and proposed conducting extensive anatomical experiments to verify it, which they had already started.

"It's surprising, isn't it? Your father and mother were already dedicated to surgical research, including the dissection of corrupted creatures, more than ten years ago." Joseph looked at Charlotte with a hint of emotion. "Because of that, your parents became thorns in the eyes of the Medical Association. This includes the subsequent Magical Tide events. As rising stars in the medical field, they were sent outside the city for rescue missions, which were the most dangerous. It's all connected.

Therefore, I believe you might be able to do better than me. Take up the responsibility of eliminating the corruption and restarting the world."

Charlotte was indeed a little surprised. The presence of his parents in his memories was very weak. When they had their accident, he was only six or seven years old and knew that they were doctors who were very busy with work.

In Calva, where the Medical Association held dominance, they were devoted to surgical research and aimed to solve the mystery of the Red Moon and its relationship with corrupted creatures. Such noble ideals were admirable.

If the Medical Association had played a behind-the-scenes role in their deaths, it would truly be despicable!

"Since you have already determined the research direction, why choose me? You could have easily found more outstanding doctors or even powerful archmages." Charlotte remained perplexed.

Even if they wanted him to carry on his parents' aspirations and continue dissecting magical creatures to study the relationship with the Red Moon and corruption, he truly lacked the capability in that aspect!

He was currently just a clinic owner struggling to make ends meet for rent. Where would he find the conditions to dissect magical creatures?

Moreover, his parents were sent as cannon fodder because of this research, and he was expelled from Calva due to surgical expulsion from the magical source. The danger in this matter was evident.

He didn't want to die inexplicably again, just one day after his rebirth.

"Destiny has chosen you," Joseph shook his head slightly.

The hexagram behind the Black Stone in Charlotte's hand lit up,

A golden light surged out of the Black Stone, wrapping around his hand like a ribbon.

Two words slowly condensed on the surface: Miracle!

"This is the codename linked to your destiny. Perhaps you can bring a miracle to this world." Joseph looked at the two words on the surface, his eyes shining.

"But I haven't agreed to your proposal," Charlotte frowned.

"What if I told you that I can make you powerful again?"

Charlotte calmly shook his head. "The destruction of the magical source is irreversible, even the gods cannot change that. At my age, I obviously can't become a knight by changing professions."

"This is something I discovered in a mysterious cave many years ago. For you, perhaps it's a new path." Joseph took out a torn piece of blank parchment from his pocket and handed it to Charlotte.

Charlotte took it with skepticism.

"Farewell, young man. I hope you can inherit Nolan and Lynn's aspirations, eliminate corruption, and restart the world!"

Joseph grinned, and his tall figure suddenly fell forward.

Before Charlotte could reach out to support him, he turned into a puddle of black blood in mid-air, which then dissipated into the air.

"This..." Charlotte held onto the parchment and the Black Stone, looking at the remaining black robe on the ground and the slightly swaying black broken sword, feeling dazed.

The person who had just persuaded him to join the Red Moon organization had disappeared in an instant.

[Mysterious Black Robe: A rare item that conceals your aura! It makes it impossible for others to discern your strength!]

[Broken Longsword: A rare item forged from an extraterrestrial meteorite, but unfortunately, it has been broken, greatly reducing its attack power.]

Two lines of notes appeared in Charlotte's field of vision.

[Ding! Joseph Kane has issued a new long-term mission to you: Eliminate Corruption and Restart the World! Mission Reward: One Epic-grade item! Accept: Yes! No!]

At this moment, a voice from the system rang in Charlotte's mind.

"Huh??"

Charlotte was surprised. He didn't expect the system to suddenly trigger a hidden mission and offer an Epic-grade item as a reward.

After thinking for a moment, Charlotte chose to accept.

In a sense, by accepting the system's mission, he also accepted Joseph Kane's invitation to join the Red Moon.

Charlotte looked down at the animal skin in his hand.

[Mysterious Animal Skin: Level and effects cannot be determined!]

"What is this?" Charlotte looked at the mysterious animal skin in his hand.

The animal skin was only the size of an adult palm. It felt smooth and delicate to the touch, like the tender skin of a young girl. Underneath the snow-white skin, it seemed like blood was flowing. It was split in half in the middle, with a clean cut, as if it had been sliced by a sharp weapon.

Joseph said that this animal skin could make him powerful again and bring him a new path.

But there was nothing on the animal skin.

Joseph solemnly gave it to him, even the All-Identifying Device couldn't determine its level and effects.

All of this indicated that the animal skin was extraordinary.

Yet he still couldn't see anything.

[Hermit: Just now, the Eternal Judge has left us forever. @Everyone]

[Technician: What the f*ck?! What happened? Wasn't this guy tough as nails? How could this happen?]

[Merchant: He hasn't paid back my 3,000 gold coins yet! How can the Eternal Judge die? How can he...?]

[Trailblazer: Moment of silence... He was the most outstanding adventurer in recent years, and the greatest Eliminator.]

[Gatekeeper: May the Giant Spirit God bless him.]

...

The Black Stone in Charlotte's hand suddenly trembled.

Charlotte glanced at it and saw that the news of Joseph's death had been exposed, causing the group chat to explode.

[Hermit: The Eternal Judge encountered a demi-god-level Beast Queen while clearing the monster nests near the Abyss. He managed to kill her successfully but sustained heavy injuries and is on the verge of death.]

[Witch: Demi-god-level Beast Queen! Terrifying!]

[Technician: This guy always likes to show off. The Shepherd has been nearby Calva recently... sigh...]

[Shepherd: Where is he now? Can someone take care of his body? I can go there. @Hermit]

[Hermit: He is in the final stage of his life and has chosen a successor, who is the new owner of the No. 9 Black Stone. @Miracle]

[Merchant: Can the son repay the father's debt? @Miracle]
