Ryan took a look at his panel, then his gaze fell on him. He rubbed his somewhat sleepy eyes, took a deep breath.
An undead!
It was actually an undead Night Healer!
He shrugged helplessly, adjusted his monocle, and smiled, saying,
"Senior, that's not right. It's not that I diagnosed your problems, but that you have diseases so I could diagnose them. The order can't be reversed."
Black Skull said hoarsely, "In other words, you think a Night Healer who has walked in this darkness for hundreds of years wouldn't notice the diseases in his own body? And only you can?"
Ryan immediately raised his hand and said innocently,
"No, no, no! I didn't say that! You're all seniors. Maybe you just overlooked some things a little bit, and I just happened to discover the hidden dangers in your bodies. In terms of ability, I'm far from you seniors..."
He adjusted his monocle and showed a smile with a row of white teeth.
"Far from it."
Lefty turned her hand and looked at the smile on Ryan's face.
For some reason.
She vaguely sensed something indescribable and strange.
But she couldn't put it into words for a moment.
Black Skull said hoarsely, "Can we start now?"
Ryan calmly held up a finger and said, "Allow me to take a break. You know, diagnosis is a very energy-consuming thing."
...
A few minutes later.
"Brain."
Her voice rang in Ryan's mind.
"Have you been using your ability to inflict diseases to tease them during this period?"
Lefty's voice was a bit doubtful.
Ryan turned his head with a smile, looked at his left hand, and replied in his mind,
"Why would you say that?"
Lefty said seriously, "Because I think what he said is indeed right. They're Night Healers. Those diseases you diagnosed for them should be very easy to detect, right?"
"So I'm asking if you're deliberately teasing them?"
Because through these two diagnoses, even she had already sensed something was wrong.
She knew that Brain had many strange and somewhat gloomy abilities, and the most special one among them should be his random diagnosis technique.
It had two effects.
One was passive diagnosis, which could discover the hidden diseases on the target.
The other was active infliction, which could randomly inflict several diseases on the target.
If Brain had been using the passive diagnosis all the time, it would be really strange. Because ordinary creatures might have a dozen diseases without noticing...
But for the Night Healers.
If there were really abnormal diseases in their bodies, it was impossible for them not to notice!
So she wondered if Brain had been teasing them during this period, and actually used the active disease-inflicting ability instead of the passive diagnosis ability...
But unexpectedly, Lefty got a negative answer.
"I'm not that bored."
Ryan adjusted his monocle and replied in his mind,
"I've always been using the passive effect of my diagnosis ability. I didn't inflict diseases on them. There are just too many hidden diseases in their bodies, and I happened to diagnose them."
Lefty was shocked.
Ryan said seriously,
"So I think these Night Healers don't seem as powerful as imagined. I even find it a bit funny. They can't even discover the diseases in their own bodies. Then how can they cure others?"
"I'm more and more feeling that it was a mistake for me to come to them. You think so too, Lefty, right? Their funny looks when I discovered their diseases are really hilarious!"
He showed a smiling face.
Lefty shuddered for no reason.
She faced Ryan's face, with a canine tooth exposed, and stared deeply at his expression.
No.
It wasn't.
These weren't the words that Brain could say.
Contempt and teasing.
Because Brain would never have a contemptuous attitude towards others, and he would never look down on any creature in this dark world.
Because he had survived with great difficulty...
Precisely because of this.
He wanted to become a healer who could heal and redeem. Although his methods might not be acceptable to most creatures, his original intention was still kind.
This could be seen from the Alice incident.
However...
Lefty looked at him tentatively and said, "Brain, do you think there's a possibility that it's not their bodies that have problems, but that your ability has some... changes?"
"I mean, Brain, you've actually been inflicting diseases on them all the time instead of diagnosing them?"
Because she clearly remembered.
After diagnosing that lizard man yesterday.
Brain also had a moment of doubt.
He doubted whether his ability had a problem because that diagnosis found more than a dozen diseases on that lizard man at once.
This was already incredible in itself.
But strangely.
Since coming to this place.
He seemed to have never doubted it again, even now after diagnosing those two Night Healers...
He didn't have any reaction to it either.
Lefty asked hesitantly, "Do you think there's such a possibility?"
Ryan's expression clearly froze for a moment.
Suddenly, it became very quiet around.
Slowly.
He turned his head, looked at his left hand with a smile, and the lens refracted light.
"Is there, Lefty?"
"Your words make me look like a funny clown."
Looking at his grinning smile.
Lefty suddenly felt a chill down her spine for no reason.
No!
No!
...
"Sorry, senior, to have kept you waiting."
Ryan walked over with a smile, sat in front of the table, and sat up straight.
Strangely enough, on each finger of his left hand, there were small tentacles crawling and winding around, and he was casually taking a bandage, elegantly and easily wrapping his left hand.
The soul fire in Black Skull's eye sockets flickered, and he said hoarsely,
"Your hand is injured?"
Ryan wrapped his left hand with a smile, winding the palm round and round, saying,
"Yes, just a small injury. So, do you still need my diagnosis?"
He changed the topic.
Black Skull said deeply, "We can start at any time."
Ryan immediately showed a bright smile on his face.
"Alright, I'll diagnose you now."
Then.
He tied a knot in the bandage on his left hand.
Then he stretched out his hand towards him.
But just at the moment when Ryan was about to touch his wrist, the hoarse voice of Black Skull immediately rang in the Executor's mind.
"I've already set up anti-curse and anti-disease countermeasures in my body."
"You observe him, pay attention to his movements and changes in his body, especially in terms of curses."
"See how he's inflicting diseases on me."
The Executor was shocked all over.
"Yes!"
He didn't hesitate at all. The lenses on his beak mask immediately switched to another mysterious mode.
He narrowed his eyes.
Staring fixedly at Ryan.
And at the moment when Ryan's finger touched Black Skull's wrist.
He immediately saw an extremely strange scene through the lenses.
In that extremely short period of time.
The fingertip of the finger that touched Black Skull suddenly flashed a fleeting halo.
That should be the sign of his diagnosis ability being activated.
But strangely, almost at the same time as that halo flashed, he was horrified to see that on the smiling young man in front of him, a fleeting human-shaped silhouette suddenly appeared.
A...
Crying black-and-white clown...
