Mechanical Doctor

…

Manette is an ordinary pirate, belonging to a pirate group called Blood Axe.

There are hundreds of pirate groups with common names like Blood Axe and Blood Dagger on this sea.

Such pirate groups usually consist of a few or dozens of people, and they can only bully fishing boats and small merchant ships with their strength.

Such guys have very unstable income.

If it is an exaggeration to say that they go hungry for nine meals in three days, then it is realistic to say that they go hungry for one meal and full for another.

However, Manette, who has no children or mother, lives a relatively free life because he is the only one who eats.

He actually has a little hobby, which is to gamble when he is free.

Manette has always had good luck, and he often wins more than he loses in gambling.

However, it is also for this reason that Manette often wins money, and gradually other pirates around him are unwilling to gamble with him.

Today is the day when the Blood Axe Pirates sell stolen goods. The captain and the first mate are bargaining with the black merchants, and small minions like Manette naturally go into the city to have fun.

Unlike other pirates who go to the tavern to drink and find girls as soon as they get off the ship, Manette went straight to the small casino after getting off the ship.

Maybe Manette's luck is too good today. He is killing everyone at the gambling table.

It was not until everyone in the small casino was staring at him that Manette woke up.

While holding the revolver in his arms, Manette stuffed the money he won today into his pocket.

Although other people in the casino were jealous of Manette's luck, they were frightened by Manette's ferocity and his action of reaching into his arms, so they had no choice but to let Manette leave.

After leaving the casino, Manette walked aimlessly on the street.

In his hand, he was playing the chips of an unknown casino.

This was the only thing left after the unlucky guy at the gambling table won all his money.

But Manette was not polite, he also won this exquisitely crafted chip.

For ordinary people, the late night in Gran City is dangerous, but for a pirate with a weapon, it is nothing.

Manette walked on the road, whistling and shaking his head.

Obviously, the money he won in the casino just now made him feel good.

Just when this guy wanted to find a place to gamble again.

A casino on the side of the street caught Manette's attention.

This casino was brightly lit, with gilded pillars, door frames inlaid with jewels, and even the welcoming waiters were extremely charming and seductive.

According to the usual cautious Manette, he would never enter such a casino.

But this time was different. I don’t know if the money he just won in his hand gave him confidence, or if he was attracted by some mysterious power.

Manette walked towards this magnificent building like a demon.

Now Manette has only one idea in his mind, that is, to enter this casino and gamble, even if it can only be gambled once.

Manette walked into the casino very smoothly, and the casino staff did not dislike Manette's shabby clothes.

These coolly dressed staff enthusiastically invited Manette into the casino.

Rather than inviting him, these staff pulled Manette into the casino.

There were many guests in the casino, and there were all kinds of gambling games such as playing cards, slot machines, and dice.

Looking at everything in the casino, Manette felt that something was wrong.

As for what was wrong, Manette couldn't figure it out.

He didn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it.

He was attracted by the hot gambling scene and quickly found the counter to exchange all the money on his body for chips.

Manette found that the style of these chips was exactly the same as the one in his hand.

Obviously, that chip was also from this casino.

Hearing the sound of the chips in his hand colliding with each other, Manette felt very comfortable.

Manette's luck was still very good this time, so good that the chips in his hand turned several times.

In this way, Manette won more and more chips.

However, it was strange that although he won more and more chips, the number of chips on Manette's table did not increase.

At first, Manette was still immersed in the excitement of winning money from gambling. As he won more and more, he found that something was wrong, and it was getting more and more wrong.

As Manette won more chips, he felt heavier and more difficult to breathe.

...

Manette gambled all night with such a wrong feeling.

With the first ray of sunshine in the morning, Manette really understood what was wrong.

He found that there was nothing wrong with this casino.

Those attractive-looking service staff were all monsters made of chips and rotten meat., fat and pale maggots were wriggling on these monsters.

Every step these monsters took, some of the rotten meat, maggots, and chips on their bodies would fall off.

And the gamblers were no less than that. Every time they won chips, they would stuff them into their mouths, even if their stomachs were burst.

Manette looked at this scene in horror, and he wanted to escape.

Just as he stood up, he heard the sound of chips colliding.

Only then did he realize that he was also one of those who ate chips.

"No! I can't stay here any longer! I want to escape!"

Thinking of escaping, Manette dragged his now heavy body and rushed to the casino gate desperately.

The gamblers and staff who blocked Manette along the way were all knocked away by him.

With the fierceness in his heart, Manette rushed out of the casino in one breath and ran to the street.

The street outside the casino at this time was completely different from the one he came in, but Manette didn't care at all.

His only thought now was to get as far away from this weird casino as possible.

Just as he ran out of energy, his body was filled with swelling and pain.

Manette knew that this was because he had swallowed those chips.

He now urgently needed to find a doctor, hoping that the doctor could help him take out the chips in his body.

In this way, after searching for several streets, he found a three-story clinic on the corner.

Manette's consciousness had gradually become blurred, and the last bit of consciousness in his body made him push open the door of the clinic.

...

After eating an ordinary cafeteria meal in disappointment, Manolin returned to the clinic.

Torres and Charles in the clinic were facing a patient with serious expressions.

Manolin saw this scene and hurried forward to check.

The patient's condition also surprised Manolin.

Rather than saying that this patient is a living person, it is better to say that he is a corpse that has been "giant".

This patient seems to be a floating corpse that has been soaked in water for several days.

Swelling and stench hit him in the face.

If the patient was not still breathing, Manolin would not have been able to tell that this was a living person.

Manolin picked up Torres' examination notes and looked at Torres' records.

The records showed that all the patient's organs had shrunk, and now his body was filled with things like metal coins.

All the organs of the patient's body were squeezed out of the positions where they were supposed to be.

The most outrageous thing was that as the patient breathed, his body seemed to make a sound of metal collision.

Manolin was sure that the patient's body was definitely not metal or ordinary metal.

Because Manolin had no sense of the patient's body.

It was not like the battle with [Anger] that could not be controlled, but there was no sense at all.

Such a body with completely unknown objects inside, Manolin doubted how such a person could still be alive.

It was obvious that the patient's condition was not caused by natural causes.

Manolin turned around and asked Torres seriously, they had seen similar situations before.

Both shook their heads to indicate that they had never seen it.

This patient has completely lost his consciousness and only has some instinctive body movements.
