On the way over, he noticed that the surrounding miners seemed to mention a name called Natasha.
Is that a doctor's name?
This person named Natasha seems to be quite well-known. Do people here think of her first when they mention a doctor?
Because of the noise, Takatsuki only heard that the name was related to a doctor and nothing else.
Under the strange gazes of the crowd, Takatsuki carried Seele to the injured person's side, gently put down the somewhat embarrassed Seele from his shoulder, and squatted beside the injured person, holding her hand.
"What happened to his injury?"
Takatsuki looked at the person who had just tried to stop the bleeding and asked.
"Old Jim's leg was hit by a falling ore, and it's been bleeding non-stop. Do you know medicine? Please help Jim. He has a ten-year-old child at home. What will he do if he can't work?"
"Alright, I understand. Leave it to me."
It was just a fracture; Takatsuki could easily heal it. But now, completely unfamiliar with this world, he didn't dare to do something so flashy. After all, it was unclear if this world had supernatural powers. However, looking at the strange, orange-glowing ores around him, Takatsuki estimated that there were supernatural powers
Takatsuki glanced at the skills displayed in his system.
[Medical Skill LV3]
After feigning an examination of the injured person's leg, he said: "His leg is fractured. Bandaging alone won't work; professional tools are needed. He probably just fainted from the pain and has no other issues. Where is the nearest hospital around here? I'll temporarily stop the bleeding."
As Takatsuki spoke, he instantly projected a small knife from his pocket, cutting open the blood-soaked pant leg and the messily bandaged cloth strips, then reached out and touched Jim's leg.
"The bleeding stopped!"
The woman next to him looked at Takatsuki in surprise. She didn't expect Takatsuki to stop the bleeding, which they had tried to stop for a long time, with just a touch
Still too high-profile. Does this world not have supernatural powers?
Takatsuki secretly observed the woman's reaction, which clearly indicated it was her first time seeing such a situation.
"Ahem, I used my family's medical techniques to stop the bleeding. It's only a temporary solution. Can someone lead the way? I'll take him to the nearest hospital for follow-up treatment."
Takatsuki noticed that the eyes of the people around him seemed to have become a bit strange.
Did I say something wrong?
Takatsuki didn't know, but he knew how to solve this problem.
He had stopped the bleeding from the injured person's wound using Hamon, he just needed to...
Just then, blood gushed out of Jim's wound again. Takatsuki quickly fumbled to stop the bleeding again with his family technique, then hoisted Jim onto his shoulder.
"Let's go quickly. This method won't last long. If this continues, his leg might be crippled."
"Oh, oh, I'll lead the way."
The woman next to him quickly stood up and led Takatsuki outside, and the surrounding miners also cleared a path.
Takatsuki held Seele's hand and carried an adult, showing no signs of fatigue.
"You two aren't from the Underworld, are you?"
Just then, the woman walking in front suddenly spoke.
Underworld?
Takatsuki frowned. The name 'Underworld' carried a bit of weight
Generally, the name 'Underworld' implies there would also be an Upper District.
"That's right, but we're not from the Overworld either."
Generally, people from the Underworld hate those from the Upper District, so Takatsuki immediately distanced himself.
"Not from the Overworld? Has Belobog already explored the outer reaches?"
Oh no, this is getting more and more wrong.
Seele seemed to notice Takatsuki's predicament and spoke to the woman: "Sister, Seele and Brother just arrived in the Underworld and don't know much about it."
"Your name is Seele?"
Seele's introduction made the woman react even more. The woman stopped and turned to look at Seele.
Seele, who had originally intended to act cute to get by, didn't know what was wrong with her name.
"Yes, Sister, Seele's name is Seele. Is something wrong?"
After staring at Seele carefully for a while, the woman finally spoke.
"I didn't notice before, but now that I look closely, you really resemble Seele."
Seeing the two people's puzzled expressions, she quickly waved her hand: "I'm talking about our Seele from the Underworld. You look very much like our Seele here, except she's quite a bit older than you. Do you have an older sister?"
"Uh..."
Even if I had an older sister, she wouldn't be here, Seele thought, but she still said: "Seele doesn't know. Seele has always been with Takatsuki-nii."
"Never mind, it's not my business anyway. I suggest you go find our Seele here and see; maybe she's your sister, since you two really look alike."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Anna. Although I don't know how you came to the Underworld, judging by your skills, you must be an itinerant doctor."
Takatsuki nodded along with Anna's words
"Just like Dr. Vache back then. It's a pity Dr. Vache is no longer here. Now we only have one hospital in the Underworld, or rather, a private clinic, which is Natasha's clinic. She's the only doctor here."
Anna explained to Takatsuki: "You'd better be careful, it's best not to open a clinic in the Underworld.
"Why? From what you're saying, you should be very short on doctors, right?"
Anna nodded: "Yes, ever since the Overworld and Underworld were isolated more than ten years ago, Natasha was the only doctor left in the Underworld. A few years ago, a doctor named Vache came and distributed free medicine to patients in the Underworld."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Yes, but not long after, Dr. Vache disappeared for unknown reasons. There's a rumor that he was murdered."
Anna looked at Takatsuki and didn't elaborate on the so-called rumor, but said
"Since then, Natasha's clinic has been the only clinic in the Underworld."
Takatsuki nodded, understanding her hint. Was it due to industry competition? In a place like this, it was normal.
As the group exited the mining area, Takatsuki realized that the dome they had seen inside the mining area wasn't because it was a mining area, but because the entire Underworld was, in a physical sense, underground.
"This is Rivet Town. The neighboring Rivet Town has been sealed off due to Rift erosion. Now, only Rivet Town in the Underworld is safe. I'll take you to Natasha's clinic."
