Laura replied, "I don't understand."
The people, "..."
After glancing at them, Laura suddenly said, "I have a method."
Everyone was shocked. They hadn't expected her to figure it out so quickly. She had only been here for a minute.
It was as if she had poisoned them...
Why else would she solve it so quickly?
"Ghost Orchid..." Laura muttered.
Allen didn't catch it clearly. "What did you say?"
Laura swiftly pulled out a card. "Transfer one million first, plus a hundred thousand as a consultation fee. In addition, for these five people here, a hundred thousand each for treatment. In total, it's one million six hundred thousand, tax included. Thank you."
Everyone was stunned by her actions. She was demanding money on the spot?
Fortunately, Allen understood her personality and quickly took out his phone, "Uh, I forgot that we can't use phones here. I'll go outside to transfer the money to you and show you the screenshot, alright?"
Laura agreed, "Fine, if I don't receive the payment, I'll come after your life."
Allen, "..."
The others couldn't believe that Laura knew the treatment method so quickly. After all, they had already researched many ways but couldn't stop their injuries. If this continued, these people would eventually die. And it wasn't just these few people who had this condition.
They were still skeptical of Laura.
In their line of work, who would believe someone they didn't know at all? Before Allen invited her, he hadn't provided any information about her.
However, Laura ignored them and quickly directed them, "Flush with water for at least ten minutes or until the green fluid stops seeping. Then immediately apply ointment, and use Penetrex... Hmm, apply it on the scar or use disinfectant alcohol. That should be enough."
"Clap."
A doctor who was prepared to listen to her insights dropped the surgical forceps they were holding.
"Just...just like this?!" The man with the scar on his brow and eyes couldn't believe it, and his eyebrows shot up in astonishment.
"With...with plain water?" Several doctors found it difficult to speak.
"Yes, plain water," Laura replied calmly. "Oh, if you find tap water contaminated, you can use boiled water. Bottled mineral water works, too. Plain water is enough. You all know Penetrex, right? If not, go buy it now."
Everyone, "..." Was Laura here to advertise Penetrex?
Allen exclaimed, "And just like that, you charge us a hundred thousand per person?!" They had to provide their own water and medicine!
Laura stood up straight, placed her hands behind her back, and looked at Allen, a smile playing on her lips. "If it's that simple, you called me here? "
The key was that in this world, she might be the only one who knew this method. Of course, it was simple, but that was based on the premise that someone knew. If no one knew, it would be no different from an incurable disease.
Allen suddenly laughed awkwardly, "I was just joking."
Once again, Allen's attitude towards Laura made the others skeptical. But whether they believed it, these two things were harmless to ordinary people, so they followed Laura's instructions.
However, a few of the doctors were still having a hard time accepting that such a simple solution could solve the problem.
Ignoring the suspicious looks from the others, Allen pulled Laura aside and whispered, "To be honest with you, there's an abnormal situation happening in City C right now. The injuries these people have were caused in that city. The security forces have been sent there, so you can imagine how serious it is. I received a mission, and it seems something has happened that completely transcends our current understanding as humans. I'm going to that city next week, and I asked for permission to bring you along. What do you think? We can negotiate the price."
Laura was shocked, "More shocking than being able to see spirits?"
Allen replied, "I'm not sure..."
Allen couldn't see spirits himself but knew that Laura could. So he still had mixed feelings. He didn't know whether to believe her or not. However, it was true that Laura was a very rational existence. If she hadn't kept a low profile and had someone protecting her from above, she would have been dragged into experiments long ago...
Laura thought for a moment before saying sorrowfully, "I can't. I already took on a mission, and even though the pay may not be as much as what you're offering, I've already committed to it. I can't betray my own reputation. At least for this month, I don't have the time to go."
Curiously, Allen asked, "What kind of mission is so complicated that it's keeping you here for so long? Is it troublesome?"
Laura replied, "Yeah, it's me pretending to be someone's fiancée. As long as I can hold on until he dies in a year, I might even inherit his fortune."
Allen's worldview was about to be overturned. Who on earth would dare to ask this great person to pretend to be his fiancée? Were he bored or unable to handle his money?
"Who is it?"
Laura answered, "He's quite famous. You probably know him. His last name is Martin, and his name is Hyman."
Allen was dumbfounded. Hyman Martin? Martin Family's young master? The golden bachelor prince of City A! Although his identity was mysterious, but...
He didn't expect the great person to stoop so low as to accept this kind of task.
But Allen's identity doomed him from asking further questions, so he went straight to the point. "My last question, how did you know the solution for the injuries of those guys?"
"I don't know," Laura answered bluntly. "It just popped into my head like that. You know I had amnesia, I don't remember a lot of things. I only know that their symptoms are related to a plant called the Ghost Orchid."
She never actually had amnesia. During her time in this world, she didn't have amnesia. But she knew she didn't belong here, so many things weren't learned but were innate. They naturally came to her mind, including seeing spirits and having special abilities - it was all natural.
As for how she came to possess these abilities, she didn't know. So it's not much different from amnesia.
Of course, Allen understood amnesia as Laura forgetting about her past. Otherwise, knowing something as shocking as not belonging to this world would cause a big problem.
As for which world she belonged to, Laura herself had no clue.
But today, when she saw the wounds on those people, she felt a strange emotion in her heart. She already had an ominous premonition. The symptoms of their poisoning, she saw it at a glance, so it was highly possible that it wasn't a poison from this world...
So, City C really had a big problem.
Laura herself didn't want to get involved in these matters too much. It wasn't easy for the important person she knew to protect her, so she couldn't do anything too high-profile or troublesome.
That's why it was a perfect excuse that Hyman's fiancee couldn't go anywhere during this period.
Laura herself wasn't too keen on going there either. She always felt that if she went, she wouldn't be able to live peacefully in the future.
But, as they say, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.
At this moment, Laura firmly refused.
"Alright." Allen wasn't surprised either.
He still believed in Laura. After all, they had known each other for a long time, and if there were any problems, their department would have investigated them thoroughly. Except for the fact that this girl's methods of making money were indeed excessive...
But it wasn't illegal, they just caused some chaos at the edge of the magical world, and the human world couldn't control it!!
After a while, some exciting news came from the other end.
The green liquid didn't flow anymore. They used specialized water from the department, detoxified. Ten minutes later, the green liquid stopped flowing, the wounds became cleaner, they applied the medicine as Laura instructed, and bandaged them. The people on the bed also said they felt much better.
This was a big surprise. This method worked, so if a similar situation arose again, everyone wouldn't be so anxious.
Although many people still had doubts about Laura's identity and style, at this moment, the fact that she saved everyone was undeniable.
Even if they asked Laura some inappropriate questions, Allen would handle them all for her. If it exposed herself because of this mission, Laura wouldn't come directly.
She returned to the surface, and the cellphone signal immediately connected. A bank transfer message came in, and when she saw the balance inside, Laura felt satisfied.
Then, there was suddenly a friend request on WhatsApp.
