Here's a friendly reminder to everyone: unless you're sure you're a superman, don't believe those quacks who want to perform brain surgery on you with electric drills, jackhammers, and cutting saws—of course, theoretically, these quacks should be beaten to death as soon as they go out, and they basically won't survive long enough to solicit business from you.

Anyway, Lily didn't think her landlord was a good doctor at all. He shouldn't even be associated with the word "doctor." What was happening in front of her was more like a machine repairing another machine than "treatment." You could tell it had nothing to do with medicine just by looking at the sparks flying everywhere. As a senior veterinarian, Lily considered herself a medical practitioner, so she decided never to discuss medical treatment with Hao Ren in the future...

And the dog rescue couldn't be mentioned either.

"Actually, this is a very precise, safe, and scientific process," the data terminal was still explaining from the side. "The hibernation pod provides a powerful anesthesia and life support environment, and these functions can still be used even in the open state. The operation of the autonomous machines can be precise to the microscopic level, and Hesperides' physical strength determines that she can easily withstand this level of surgery, so the whole process is in a safe and controllable state. The reason you feel the movement is not quite right is mainly because the Storm Giant bloodline gave this patient an overly strong skeleton—you should be grateful for this skeleton, so that she wouldn't be headshot by a Demon Hunter with a crossbow back then. Now we enter the next stage, using small-scale directional explosions to remove necrotic tissue... Hey, why are you all silent?"

Hao Ren lowered his head and unconsciously tugged at the fluff on Lily's tail: "Don't talk, let me pull two hairs to calm down."

Lily snatched her tail back: "Don't touch it! I still want to save it and pull it slowly when I'm bored!"

Hao Ren: "...I was just kidding... But aren't you usually very protective of your tail? Why are you willing to pull it yourself?"

Lily hugged her tail with a sad face, stroking the charred third of the fur on it: "Anyway, it's already charred here, so I'll clean it up early so new ones can grow."

While speaking, the "surgery site" finally quieted down, and the autonomous machine made a triumphant gurgling sound and floated to the side. The data terminal flew over to take a look, and deliberately announced in a stiff voice: "The surgery was successfully completed, the patient's physiological characteristics are stable, the mood is very stable, who will fetch some water to wash this place later?"

Hao Ren and Lily hurried over to check the situation, and found that the situation was much better than expected. There was not much blood in the hibernation pod, and it seemed that the autonomous machine had achieved a perfect intraoperative hemostasis effect by some means. Hesperides was lying in the coffin with steady breathing, and the wound on her forehead was slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this time, the equipment turned off the forced hibernation effect, Hesperides took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes, turned her eyeballs and sat up straight: "Is it done?"

Hao Ren pointed to the other party's forehead: "Check it yourself."

Hesperides reached out and touched her brain hole, and then stretched her fingers in and poked around, a series of actions that made Hao Ren and Lily break out in goosebumps, but she herself didn't seem to feel anything. Touching her wound healing quickly, and finding no arrow inside, she breathed a sigh of relief and surprise: "It's... really healed!"

Then she jumped out of the hibernation pod, looking incredulously at the surrounding equipment and the autonomous machine that was wiping its tentacles not far away: "What should I say... Although the situation here looks messy, you actually got this done?"

Hao Ren nodded with a smile. To be honest, he himself felt that the whole process was incredible, but in the end, he could only attribute everything to two points: the abnormal robustness of the aberrant itself, and the goddess power of Raven 12345 that never played according to common sense. Anyway, things that are related to the above two points have never developed normally. This time, the two points are put together, and it is already gratifying to only collide with such a little spark.

"This is the arrow that was taken out," Hao Ren waved to let the autonomous machine come over, and took a narrow triangular metal block only an inch long and flashing with a faint silver light from the latter's tentacles. He handed this thing to Hesperides, "Do you still need this? If you don't need it, I'll keep it for research."

Hesperides looked at the thing with a strange expression: "This has been with me for thousands of years..."

Hao Ren was shocked: "You wouldn't have developed feelings for this thing, would you?! I can cure the physiological surgery here, but I really can't do anything about psychological trauma!"

"Keep it." Hesperides smiled slightly. Hao Ren had already noticed that her temperament had changed slightly. The gloomy feeling had faded a lot, replaced by a peaceful and slightly energetic feeling, as if the arrow in her head had also affected the "Twilight Goddess"'s personality under normal circumstances. She pushed the arrow back, and then bowed solemnly to express her gratitude: "Thank you, wizard, although I always feel that you are full of suspicious places, you are the first trustworthy person I have seen since the end of the mythological era. In this terrible era, there are not many guys like you who are willing to sincerely help others."

Hao Ren didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile indifferently, and then carefully put the arrow into his portable space, preparing to study it slowly when he had time.

The three of them came out of the basement, just as Vivian had just cleaned the furniture in the living room. She looked at Hao Ren strangely: "What were you doing down there just now? Why did the noise sound like a construction site?"

Hao Ren: "..."

Hesperides pointed to her forehead: "He's helping me heal my injuries, look here."

"Healing? You can use a metal saw for healing?" Vivian muttered while wringing the rag, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the situation on Hesperides' forehead, "Wait... your brain hole is really filled?"

"This is an engineering miracle," Hao Ren put his hands behind his back and pretended to be a big tail wolf, nodding profoundly while talking, "Although it's hard to attribute it to medicine."

"What strange things did you make again?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren suspiciously, then waved her hand indifferently, "Forget it, you'll always make something surprising. Anyway, Hesperides, you can be happy now, it's not for nothing that you came to our house, I'll make a few拿手菜 (ná shǒu cài, signature dishes) tonight to celebrate for you."

Hesperides looked at Vivian with a look of surprise. As a friend of the other party for many years (although they only meet once or twice every century on average), she naturally knew that this strange vampire had good cooking skills. At the same time, she knew how precious it was for Vivian to take the initiative to invite others to a meal—after all, the latter couldn't afford to buy vegetables most of the time. Hesperides even felt that she could take this as news and go back to promote it.

Hao Ren looked at the setting sun outside from a practical point of view. It was already dusk, and the big house had not been inhabited for many days, and there were many places that needed to be cleaned up. He was quite worried that Vivian would be able to handle it: "Let's do it tomorrow, you're already tired enough from cleaning the house tonight."

Vivian smiled and pointed to the direction of the water room: "It's okay, Nangong Wuyue has developed a new function for herself, and half of the house cleaning can be handed over to her in the future."

As Vivian's voice fell, Hao Ren saw the door of the water room being pushed open, and Nangong Wuyue, who was maintaining her sea snake form, crawled out from inside with a twist. Every half meter on the three- or four-meter-long tail was wrapped with a wet cloth. The siren girl nimbly ran along the s-shaped trajectory from the water room to the opposite of the living room, and the places she passed were spotless...

And she also comes with floor drying and oxygen-rich ion blower functions.

Dou Dou also joined in the fun, the little guy had a handkerchief tied to his tail, and tried his best to keep up with Nangong Wuyue's pace, leaving a lot of watermarks with a slap.

Hao Ren turned his head to look at Hesperides, who was stroking the last little scar on her forehead, and only one sentence lingered in his mind: This elder sister's brain hole has been filled, but who will help fill the brain holes of this bunch of weirdos in my house?

Later that day, Gun Gun, who had been wandering outside for several days, finally followed the movement and returned home. Gun Gun first paid his respects to Dou Dou, and then Lily paid his respects to Gun Gun. At this point, the strange landlord and strange tenants in this big house finally gathered, and everyone was lively until late at night before returning to their rooms.

Early the next morning, Hao Ren began to write a report on this operation—he felt it was necessary to let Raven 12345 know what happened at the Athens Sanctuary.
