Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 355: City of the Night, Stars Aglow

[Ding! You have reached level 26.]

Lynn ignored the prompt from the System in his ear. He closed his eyes, striving to make himself gentle, just like the mother in her memories, comforting the little kitten in his arms.

He patted her back softly, whispering words of solace into her ear.

Until the effect of the slumber curse struck once more, until she fell into a deep sleep.

Her face was still streaked with tear stains, full of exhaustion and fragility, like a crystal ball that could shatter at any moment.

Lynn took a deep breath, quietly picked her up, placed her on the chair in front of the counter, and gently tucked the blanket around her.

With a flash of white light.

He deactivated his Mimicry ability on himself, reverting to his original form.

But it was not over.

He had cruelly and forcefully torn open the scar in her heart that could hardly heal.And to make that wound heal, he had to give her hope.

And he had already decided what to do.

Even if the most perfect outcome might be unattainable.

But at the very least.

It was hope.

"System, enter the Sight."

The next moment.

Accompanied by that immense sensation of detachment, when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the vast city within the Sight.

He opened the Regional Channel and quietly composed a long post, detailing everything he knew.

Because he had said it.

This is the City of Night.

Here, there are many kind-hearted Night Doctors like White Night, striving to seek Redemption for others.

Here are the best group of people.

He knew his own strength alone was insufficient;

he needed to draw upon the strength of everyone, upon those who shared the same ideals...

Everyone.

He also transmitted the images of those photographs.

After finishing the telling of that true story, he wrote his final paragraph.

"Everyone, I don't dare hope for any truly satisfactory outcome. Perhaps they are already dead, perhaps they are still alive... But at the very least, I hope that when this child wakes up, she can see that in this Dark World, there are still many, many people willing to help her, willing to show her kindness."

"So I sincerely hope everyone can accept this child's request. There may be no reward, it may be a futile effort, but for that child, this is her only hope."

After writing this final paragraph, after a long while, he finally sent it out.

Announced to the entire Regional Channel.

Announced to the entire City of Night.

He didn't know if it would truly catch everyone's attention, nor if his voice could be heard by all.

But at least.

He hoped.

After waiting quietly for a moment, Lynn took a deep breath, let out a bitter laugh, and shook his head.

He knew he might have been too presumptuous.

Every Night Doctor has their own tasks, everyone has their own life and work.

Perhaps in just an instant.

The long post he sent would be drowned in the river of information...

But at least, he didn't want there to be truly no one at all...

"Let's go return the books first."

He turned his head, took one last look at this city of eternal night within the Sight, and his body gradually faded.

What he didn't notice was that at the moment he left the Sight.

His private channel suddenly flickered.

Like a tiny, almost imperceptible point of light suddenly igniting in the dark night sky.

Then a second.

A third.

A fourth.

Until the flickering of those points of light made his entire private channel shine as brightly as a clear sky.

...

She didn't know how long she had slept.

Miaomiao groggily opened her eyes on the chair.

It was already the second dawn, but here in the City of Night, in this Dark World, outside the window was still the dark and silent gloom of eternal night.

Because in this hell, there is no daytime.

No sun, no moonlight, no stars.

Their light cannot pierce the thick clouds, cannot fall upon this cursed land.

Miaomiao sat up blankly, looked at the blanket on her body, and gazed at her own paws.

"Was it all just a dream, meow..."

She was still the same as before.

She was no longer that little kitten from long ago, the one who had almost forgotten.

It was as if everything that happened last night was nothing but a nightmare.

She stood up in a daze, lifted her head emptily, and looked at the familiar Main Hall of this sanatorium.

But this time.

She had not forgotten.

Those bloody memories were still clearly etched in her mind.

"Where is Mommy..."

She murmured, looking all around.

But that gentle figure that appeared in the white light last night had also vanished now.

Was it an illusion?

But she could clearly remember feeling her warmth.

"Where is Doctor Brother..."

She lowered her head, tugging hard at her paws.

Doctor Brother was gone too.

Only Miaomiao was left alone again.

Was it all fake?

Doctor Brother said he would accept Miaomiao's request, that he would go with Miaomiao to find Mommy.

Was that all a dream too?

But...

It doesn't matter...

She forcefully extended a paw, trying hard to wipe the moisture from the corner of her eye.

She carefully sat on the floor, picked up the photographs from the ground one by one, and stared blankly at the restored happy family portrait from the past, lost in thought.

Finally.

She lowered her head, treating each one like her most precious treasure, carefully placing the photos back into the envelope.

And Miaomiao's small dried fish, Miaomiao's mint, Miaomiao's plushie.

Carefully placing all the mementos Mommy left her into her bag, then slinging it over her shoulder, she forcefully put on her hat.

She turned her head, her eyes misty as she looked at the counter and the long corridor.

She waited.

And wondered.

Would Mommy suddenly open the door, come out, and smile at her?

Would that big brother come out, pat her head, and ask her to stay?

But no.

The surroundings were oppressively dark, silent without a trace of human sound.

"Doctor Brother must have gone back to rest too..."

She whispered.

Then she shook her head hard, swiftly flicking away a few glistening drops from the corner of her eye, trying hard to put a bright, cheerful smile on her face.

Can't be sad.

Miaomiao has to learn to be strong too.

Because Miaomiao hasn't been a child for a long time now.

Miaomiao is already a big cat who has lived for centuries.

Why would she need comforting or anything.

Miaomiao should learn to go find Mommy by herself.

She climbed onto the chair with effort, picked up the quill on the table, wiped her eyes, and wrote a letter on the paper in crooked handwriting.

[Dear Doctor Brother.]

[Miaomiao woke up, couldn't find Doctor Brother, and doesn't know where you live, so I'm very sorry I can't say thank you to you in person.]

[But I still want to thank you. You helped Miaomiao remember important things she had forgotten. Miaomiao has already decided, Miaomiao is going back to keep waiting for Mommy. But please don't worry, Miaomiao will keep writing to you from now on. If Mommy comes back to get Miaomiao, Miaomiao will definitely bring Mommy to see you.]

[So Miaomiao is leaving. Please forgive Miaomiao for leaving without saying goodbye. In the end, I still want to say, Brother is really a very good person, but next time, Brother shouldn't tease Miaomiao with a salted fish.]

[Miaomiao likes salted fish the least~]
