I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Char and Sebastian didn't go far. After turning a few blocks, they came to a green-roofed house with a yard.

The house has two floors, and many arches are made on one side of the house, revealing an open corridor inside, where some people wearing black robes can be seen walking.

There is a very conspicuous cross on the roof.

There is a vertical sign hanging on the doorpost that reads "Queens Central Hospital".

"I guess the doctors here are not as diligent as I am here." Sebastian complained as he looked at the sign on the hospital.

"The quacks here always bring me new experiences."

"Is it outrageous?" Xia Ya asked curiously.

This should be an official hospital. If the doctors here are unreliable, it's hard to imagine what other places will be like.

"The person I came here to take away yesterday, why do you think he died?" Sebastian asked.

Char shook his head and smiled, "I don't have the Book of the Dead."

"Bleeding to death," Sebastian said, "This hospital has a treatment method, which is to cut a vein or artery in the forearm or neck and bleed. It can be used to bleed for everything from plague and smallpox to epilepsy and gout.

In fact, if he didn't come to the hospital, that guy would have at least ten years to live. "

Xia Ya nodded. He was not surprised. After all, this era was at the beginning of the first industrial revolution. Although it was decades ahead of schedule, the overall level was probably around the 18th century.

During this period, Western medicine mostly had only three treatment methods: enema, bloodletting, and vomiting, and most of the drugs they touted were sulfur, saltpeter, mercury, and lead.

It was not until the results of the Industrial Revolution were gradually revealed and antibiotics and bacteria were discovered that things gradually changed.

However, bloodletting did not gradually decline until the mid-19th century.

"Compared to going to the hospital, people believe in some witch doctors' folk remedies more." Sebas joked.

As they talked, the two walked into the hospital. It was different from the hospitals that Xiaya had gone to in the past, which had a strong smell of disinfectant, but some strong herbal smell, which was very pungent, mixed with the scent of flowers. The smell of blood.

The environment here can't be said to be clean. There are some mottled black patches on the wooden walls. I don't know if they are dyed by herbs or something else.

Charia even saw spider webs. Apparently the cleaning staff here didn't often care about the ceiling.

Some hospital staff who were wearing black robes, whether they were doctors or nurses, could clearly see traces of blood and herbs on their clothes, which looked like they had not been washed for a long time.

In this era, some people should have begun to discover traces of microorganisms, but obviously, no one has applied this knowledge in medicine, and the disinfection methods are not perfect.

The blood stains on these doctors may also be regarded as a symbol of experience.

There were faint sounds of sobbing in the corridor, and outside the ward not far away, a young woman in her twenties sat on a chair outside the door and covered her face while crying.

There were also cries in the ward, which seemed particularly depressing against the faint smell of blood.

However, the men in black robes who came and went seemed to be a common sight, and they completely ignored the crying man, looking cold and calm.

Char looked at these people and said with some amusement, "Sebas, I think these people are more like the Grim Reaper than you."

"Indeed, I haven't killed as many people as these people."

Sebastian said undeniably, and he whispered in Char's ear.

"I've heard some rumors that for just 20 pounds of silver, without even taking a single class, you can get a medical degree or medical certificate issued by the most prestigious university or research institution in Britannia.

Of course, the authenticity needs to be verified. "

"For this kind of rumor to spread, it is already outrageous in a sense." Xia Ya said.

This means that a considerable number of people believe this rumor.

Sebastian smiled, "Then I'll go to work first."

Xia Ya nodded.

However, what surprised Char was that Sebas did not enter the ward directly, but went straight to the crying young woman, took out a face towel from his arms and handed it to her.

The young woman slowly raised her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, and looked at Sebastian in confusion, but she still took the towel and wiped her tears.

"Thank you."

Sebastian sighed, raised his hand and patted the young woman's shoulder.

"My condolences, one must experience death once in life. Besides, he is already sixty-two years old, so he has lived a long life. This is a very natural thing."

"I know but but"

The young woman's eyes turned red again. She covered her face with a towel and sobbed.

"I thought he would be with us for a few more years."

"This is fate." Sebastian said, "But his death is only physical death, and all the memories you have with him will not disappear.

As long as you remember him, he will always live in your hearts. "

Sebastian's words seemed very convincing. The young woman wiped her eyes and looked at him.

"Thank you for your comfort, you are such a gentleman."

Only then did Char confirm that Sebas was not here to harvest the young woman's soul, but indeed to comfort him.

He crossed his arms on his chest and watched this scene with interest.

I didn't expect this guy to be quite sympathetic, he thought to himself.

Then, Char heard Sebastian say.

"You should gather your emotions now and think about how to handle his funeral so that his last journey in this world can be dignified and dignified."

The young woman thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true."

Then, her face showed a little confusion, "But I don't know what to do."

Sebastian showed a smile, took out a small card from his arms, and handed it to the young woman.

"This is my business card, you can take a look."

The young woman curiously took the business card, and Xia Ya also used magic to look at the words written on the business card. His expression froze almost at the same time as the young woman's.

It says:

【Talos Funeral Service Shop】

[Business scope: coffins, urns, mortuary plastic surgery, and funeral customization.]

[Address: 122c Cole Street]

【Sebas Tiatet】

"I have provided services to many customers in this hospital." Sebastian said with a formulaic smile on his face, "They all gave me good reviews.

Our store has many levels of funeral services for you to choose from, ensuring that your loved one’s death is graceful and dignified. "

The young woman's head was a little confused. She could not recover from the gentle-spoken and experienced gentleman just now and contact the funeral shop salesman in front of her.

She covered her head and said, "I'll think about it."

"Talos will always welcome you." Sebastian bowed and bowed.

Then, he walked into the ward on one side, but the young woman didn't seem to notice.

A few minutes later, Sebastian walked out of the ward and came to Char.

"So, is the store you opened in the imperial capital a funeral service store?" Xia Ya said.

"Yes." Sebastian said doubtfully, "Is it weird?"

"No, it suits you very well, or rather"

Xia Ya joked: "There is nothing more competitive than a funeral service store opened by the God of Death."

"Even the God of Death has to eat." Sebastian smiled. "The salary I earned in Hades is too much to spend in this world, but I still need to consume in this world, so I can only earn it on my own."

He said matter-of-factly, "You don't know that although this hospital is mostly filled with quacks, the cost of treatment is really not low. You can afford the treatment if you stay here."

People generally don’t hesitate to hold a grand funeral. "

Xia Ya raised his eyebrows and nodded.

They stayed in this hospital for a long time, and as Sebastian said, the mortality rate in this hospital is really not low.

Xia Ya feels that in this era, instead of asking what disease a person died from, it is better to ask which doctor the person died from.

They didn't come out of the hospital until around 4 p.m.

"It's not that so many people die every time." Sebastian said with a strange expression, "It's just that Dr. Helens was extra energetic today."

Naturally, surgical operations in this era were not as sophisticated as in modern society, and the most important one was amputation.

But there is no way to solve the massive bleeding, pain, and wound infection during amputation, because in this era there is no anesthesia technology, no disinfection technology, no antibiotics, and we don’t even know about blood transfusions, so the doctors here just don’t treat them.

Their procedure usually involves knocking the patient unconscious, quickly cutting off the bad leg with a saw, and causing the patient to wake up screaming. After the amputation is completed, the doctor presses a red-hot iron on the wound to cause the blood to coagulate quickly.

Doctors do not rely on the stability of the scalpel when performing operations, but only on "speed".

When amputation is done, the patient is dragged out and either hurts to death or bleeds excessively and dies from shock due to lack of blood volume.

Of course, there are also cases of wound infection and death.

In short, the operation must be completed before the patient wakes up.

This Dr. Helens is a famous fast surgeon, but his knife today was a little too fast.

The knife neatly cut off the patient's lower limbs. Due to excessive force, one of the patient's eggs and two of the assistant's fingers were cut off.

An audience member who was watching the operation was so frightened that he died of shock after witnessing the bloody scene. The patient died the next day.

According to Sebastian, his assistant would also die from an infection due to a cut on his finger.

This was the first time that Xia Ya saw three people die in an operation.

Of course, this is just due to the limitations of the times.

This bloody-handed massacrer. Ahem, Dr. Helens, a benevolent doctor, is still very conscientious. In order to save people, he has performed thirteen surgeries without sleep since yesterday, and successfully rescued the patient from death. Three people.

"Is there any more?" Xia Ya asked.

"Only the last one left."

Sebastian turned his head and looked into the distance.

That is the direction of the palace.
