The mist spread across the wasteland, and the weeds swayed gloomyly.

The running little girl's steps gradually slowed down, and the swaying of the brown braid gradually stopped. She sat down tiredly next to a low tree. But after a while, she suddenly looked back and saw a figure walking towards her.

"Hello, Alice." Gu Jun felt like he was standing in front of the short tree.

He didn't know which time and space this was, it was true or illusion.

Before chasing him, he thought that this little girl was a key figure. If she didn't die, the ceremony would not be completed. Now, looking at her tender face, the dark spots and pustules, he hoped that he could save this young life.

"Doctor, are you going to bleed me?" asked the little girl, her blue eyes very empty, "or is it a whip to atone for sin?"

These are all common methods of treating the Black Death in the Middle Ages in Europe. Bloodletting therapy is used for all diseases. It is almost the same to pray for God's forgiveness by whipping patients.

The little girl spoke calmly, with an extremely calmness that was not consistent with her age. Her eyes were one on the head of the Thousand-Eyed Giant Worm.

Gu Jun saw that his mind was a little shaken, calmness and impatience were fighting...

He suddenly realized that he had not yet been destroyed, and the two forces of the Iron Son and the Son of Doom, which were still fighting.

And he himself is still confronting the Thousand-Eyed Giant Worm.

The Thousand-Eyed Giant Worm is not just a single soul, but is composed of many deceased people. Perhaps these deceased people still have a self, after all, this ceremony has not been completely completed, and this plague is not irrescue.

"No, not either." Gu Jun shook his head and replied, "That's nothing, it's just a product of ignorance."

"But isn't that the beginning of a new dawn?" the little girl asked, the dark spots on her face spreading even wider.

"You mean, plague is a historical turning point." Gu Jun said, "The historical turning point is not just a plague. Although I am a doctor, I know that there are many better ways, such as the advancement of technology and the emergence of a drug."

There were many thoughts in his heart, but his will was gradually calming down.

He saw a medical box appear next to him, the team's medical box that was brought into the dreamland but did not completely disappear.

In order to deal with possible infections, the box contains various antibiotics.

Gu Jun opened the box and picked up a bottle of streptomycin sulfate from the box. Seeing that the little girl weighed about 15kg, she prepared the medicine according to the amount of 25mg per kilogram of the child. She said, "This is streptomycin. It is very useful to deal with the pathogenic bacteria of Black Death. I will give you twice a day, and you will be well in one or two weeks."

"What's the use?" The little girl's eyes were still empty, "Anyway, we will die in the end."

"Indeed, we will all die in the end. As a doctor, we are just to make this time for others and ourselves as late as possible."

Gu Jun remembered the coachman's words, "Doctors are not gods, doctors are doctors."

"You are so persistent." The little girl murmured softly, and hesitated slightly, "You can clearly have the power of a god..."

"Will my will still be free?" Gu Jun laughed in dismay, "If not, then it's not me, but something else." He took the syringe and prepared the medicine solution, walked up to the little girl to give an intramuscular injection, but the little girl retreated.

"Why do you have to be obsessed with those humble human natures?" The little girl's face was full of dark spots and struggled, "It is them that blocking you from reaching greatness."

Gu Jun was also thinking about this question. It was not the first time he thought about it, nor was it the first time that he had been asked by the Next Life Association and the Lalaye Cult.

Is human nature?

Some of the previous scenes flashed by, whether in other worlds, ancient or modern times, human nature was similar.

That's right, he just saw a lot of humble and ugly human nature, like pus and filth that made him disgusted.

But... he always feels that human nature is not just that...

Take him as an example. In the past two years, he was like a fool who was drunk and desperate every day, but now he has become a hero who is a secret.

"Human nature is so complicated that I can't be sure of the answer to your question. Maybe I'm stupid to do this, maybe not."

Gu Jun said as he continued walking, grabbed the little girl's right arm, and rolled up her dirty linen sleeves, "But I don't like a world full of fear and pain. Who told me to give the Hippocratic oath? Being a doctor is to eliminate the pain."

The little girl's arms were very hungry and thin, only a little better than skin and bones, and were covered with pustules and black spots that emitted foul smell.

“For me, to get to greatness, the more the pain the better.”

Gu Jun carefully took a cotton swab and dipped it into a bottle of iodine and applied it to her arm.

"Like Hua Tuo and William Morton, that's great. Do you know, before they invent and apply anesthesia, patients undergoing surgery is equivalent to being punished. With anesthesia, we humans can use science to fight pain. Oh, by the way, anesthesia is a historical turning point, a dawn of a new era. How about this?"

He suddenly pierced the syringe in his hand, pierced into the little girl's skinny arm muscles, and pushed the streptomycin in the syringe. "I prefer a world of scientific exploration and gaining power through science. I won't leave Langton's old path."

"Um..." The little girl's face suddenly changed, and her blue eyes surged with a little divine light that looked weird.

A needle of streptomycin will not have such rapid results, but at this time the pustules and dark spots on her face and arms were constantly fading.

Her struggle became stronger and stronger, the divine light in her eyes became stronger and stronger, and hazy tears emerged...

"Doctor," she asked suddenly, her tone then had a childlike tenderness: "Can you save my mother too?"

Gu Jun felt a complicated and difficult-to-understand feeling in his heart, and he nodded: "I will do my best, I will do my best."

"My mother is a tailor in the village. She can make very beautiful skirts." The little girl said with a smile, "She said that when I grow up, I will do it for me..."

Before the little girl could finish her words, Gu Jun saw that the surrounding scene suddenly changed. He returned to the dark ocean in the worm house. The thousand-eyed giant insect in front of him was roaring wildly. The limbs of its body were twisting, but it was much slower than before, as if it had been hit hard.
