#296 - Chapter 296 Meeting after many years
Rayleigh's ship was steadily docked at Fish-Man Island's harbor.
Without the slightest delay, he directly carried the unconscious Jin-An on his back and quickly stepped onto the port.
Jin-An's body was heavy and cold, blood staining Rayleigh's back, but his steps remained steady, each stride carrying him dozens of meters.
"To actually hold on until now…"
Rayleigh was inwardly surprised; Jin-An's resilience exceeded his expectations.
If it were anyone else, such injuries would have already been fatal.
He took a deep breath and quickened his pace.
On the streets of Fish-Man Island, the lights were bright, and fish-men and merfolk lived busily and orderly.
Rayleigh's appearance attracted a lot of attention, but he didn't care, his gaze stern as he headed straight for the Mermaid Cafe.
He knew that there were trustworthy people there who could temporarily take care of Jin-An.
Inside the Mermaid Cafe, a warm light shone on everyone's faces.
Kaimi stood at the entrance, and when she saw Rayleigh hurrying over with someone on his back, she immediately went to greet him.
Her eyes were full of worry and curiosity,
"Mr. Rayleigh."
When she saw the condition of the person on Rayleigh's back, she covered her mouth in surprise, "This person is seriously injured…"
Rayleigh nodded and said in a deep voice, "He needs emergency treatment. Kaimi, can you help me find a place to put him?"
Kaimi immediately nodded, leading Rayleigh through the cafe to her residence.
She opened the door, allowing Rayleigh to carefully place Jin-An on the bed.
The cafe was filled with soft light and a warm atmosphere, forming a stark contrast to the tension outside.
Seeing the mottled blood stains and wounds on Jin-An's body, Kaimi couldn't help but gasp.
Rayleigh carefully placed Jin-An on a large bed, carefully examining his injuries.
Jin-An's face was as pale as paper, his wounds were still bleeding, and his breathing had become weak and rapid.
Just then, the Mermaid Cafe's proprietress, Shakuyaku, also walked in.
She frowned slightly, her voice carrying a hint of helplessness and concern,
"Rayleigh, what kind of trouble have you brought this time?"
Rayleigh smiled softly, but his eyes were still full of worry,
"Shakuyaku, thank you for your help. This situation is special."
Shakuyaku walked closer, and when she saw the face of the person lying on the bed, she was stunned.
"Benefactor?"
She whispered, quickly coming to Jin-An's bedside.
She gently wiped the blood from Jin-An's face, tears falling down her cheeks like a burst dam.
"I've finally seen you again…"
Shakuyaku's voice trembled, her eyes filled with excitement.
She gently held Jin-An's hand, as if afraid he would disappear again.
Rayleigh didn't expect Shakuyaku to know Jin-An, but this also gave him a sense of relief.
Looking at Shakuyaku's excited appearance, he said softly,
"Shakuyaku, he needs your help to get through this."
Shakuyaku raised her head and nodded firmly,
"Don't worry, Rayleigh, we will do our best to help him."
Kaimi stood aside, watching all of this silently, her heart filled with doubt and worry.
She didn't know Jin-An, but from the reactions of Rayleigh and Shakuyaku, she understood that this person must be extraordinary.
She quietly went to the side, took out a first-aid kit, and began preparing emergency treatment supplies for Jin-An.
Shakuyaku gently stroked Jin-An's face, tears still flowing, but her voice became even gentler,
"Jin-An, you must hold on, we will all help you."
Rayleigh stood aside, silently watching all of this.
He sighed softly,
"What exactly did this guy go through…"
Shakuyaku took the first-aid kit and quickly began treating Jin-An's wounds.
Her movements were skilled, and her brow was furrowed, "Rayleigh, we can't delay for too long, he needs professional treatment."
Rayleigh nodded, somewhat helplessly, "I've already had Jin-An's companions go find Crocus. As long as we hold on, he will definitely make it until the doctor arrives."
Shakuyaku nodded silently and continued to treat Jin-An's wounds.
Rayleigh stood up, walked to the window, and vigilantly observed the movements outside.
Although they had arrived at Fish-Man Island, he knew that the danger had not yet been eliminated and he had to remain vigilant at all times.
Time passed slowly, and Rayleigh and Shakuyaku cooperated tacitly, doing their best to stabilize Jin-An's condition.
The atmosphere in the Mermaid Cafe became tense and oppressive, and everyone's nerves were stretched tight.
In a place that no one could observe, a fierce battle was taking place inside Jin-An's body.
His cells, like warriors, were desperately repairing the wounds, but a strange power was constantly undermining their efforts.
Imu's power, like a venomous snake, was wrapped around his wounds, eroding his vitality.
With Jin-An's recovery ability, it should have been enough to heal this kind of injury quickly.
But at this moment, this power seemed to be working against him, and every effort to repair it was mercilessly torn apart by that power.
His muscles trembled in a constant cycle of healing and tearing, and blood dripped out, staining the sheets.
If it weren't for Jin-An's ridiculously abnormal recovery ability, an ordinary person would have already died under the ravages of this power.
Jin-An's brow furrowed slightly, and although he was unconscious, his body was instinctively fighting against this power.
His face was pale, and his breathing was weak and rapid, as if it could stop at any moment.
......
After a long wait.
Finally, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
Rayleigh turned around and saw Shakuyaku leading Kuzan and Kuma, bringing Crocus along.
As soon as Crocus entered the door, he immediately looked at Jin-An lying on the bed.
With his eyesight, he naturally saw the urgency of Jin-An's condition at this time.
"Rayleigh, you've done a good job with the emergency treatment."
Crocus said while examining Jin-An's injuries,
"Although he is seriously injured, he can still be saved."
Rayleigh breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile, "As long as he can make it through, this trip will not have been in vain."
In the tense atmosphere, time seemed to pass extraordinarily slowly.
Crocus's movements were precise and steady, and he constantly cleaned Jin-An's wounds and administered emergency treatment.
Rayleigh and Shakuyaku assisted from the side, praying in their hearts that Jin-An could make it through this.
Finally, after a tense rescue, Crocus raised his head, revealing a relieved smile,
"His vital signs have stabilized, and all that's left is to rest and recover."
Rayleigh and Shakuyaku finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Rayleigh patted Crocus on the shoulder and said gratefully,
"Thank you, Crocus."
Crocus smiled, "This is my duty. Now, everyone needs to rest. Next, we will face more challenges."
"Because the power in his body is too strange, I just suppressed it."
"But with his recovery ability, it is enough to overcome that power."
Rayleigh nodded and looked firmly at the unconscious Jin-An,
"Worthy of being our ship doctor, reliable!"
In the Mermaid Cafe, the tense atmosphere gradually eased.
Rayleigh, Shakuyaku, Shakuyaku, Kuma, and Kuzan all guarded Jin-An, and their hanging hearts finally fell.
Although Jin-An was still unconscious, everything was getting better.
...
