Chapter 58 Visitors

Taking some time out, Elvis returned to the federal government and met with Dean privately.

Soldiers who shoulder heavy responsibilities and constantly spend years on the battlefield will inevitably develop some level of mental health problems. These problems may seem insignificant and pose no significant threat in ordinary combat, but... when these problems accumulate and are not treated promptly, they will inevitably erupt at some unnoticed moment.

Moreover, the higher the level of mental power, the more difficult it is to treat.

To suppress the potential damage from mental power, nearly every soldier in the Federal Legion carries a mental soothing potion, just in case. However, the ingredients used to make these potions are extremely valuable, and unless their lives are at stake, most legionnaires wouldn't use the government-distributed healing potion.

"How are you today?" has become the most common and pun-filled greeting in the legion.

The first words Elvis said after seeing Dean were also inquiries related to mental power.

Facing his long-time comrade and friend, even the normally serious deputy commander relaxed a little during the conversation. "Last time I came back from C44, I took a potion."

"However, the treatment effect is not good." Dean frowned slightly, obviously affected by the intermittent mental problems.

However, there is no other way except to use drugs to temporarily suppress it.

Elvis lowered his eyelids, as if thinking about something, and did not speak.

Suddenly, he asked aloud, "Where's Qiao Xiuer?"

Elvis was the Federal Marshal and leader of the First Legion, while Joshua was the commander of the Second Legion. He, Joshua, and Dean, who had been transferred from the Legion to the Fleet as Vice Commander, were all close friends. From their youth at the Federal Military Academy, where they studied, trained, and competed together, their bond, more tenacious than most, had endured until this day.

Dean was silent for a moment. "He recently had a mental outburst and just got over the critical period. He's still recuperating."

After hearing this, Elvis also lowered his eyes.

After a long pause, he offered a suggestion: "I have a... friend whose healing abilities are far more effective than taking psychiatric medications. The specific treatment varies from person to person, so I'm not in a position to reveal too much."

"If you and Qiao Xiu'er have time, why not give it a try?"

Dean was stunned, and his eyebrows twitched: "Isn't he a medical officer serving in the Federation?"

Seeing Elvis shaking his head at him, Dean understood something and nodded in thanks.

"We'll go." And we'll follow Elvis's instructions to keep it secret.

After the separation, the resolute Dean immediately applied for a short leave from his superiors and went to visit Qiao Xuer at his house. Qiao Xuer had been troubled by mental problems for a long time, and when he heard that there was a better solution than the effect of the healing potion, he decisively agreed to his friend's invitation.

…

Outside the pet shop, a little black panther and a little ferret stayed outside the closed door, silent for a long time.

Is this really the place? The ferret's small eyes were filled with confusion.

Qiao Xiuer knew that the healer recommended by Elvis was an excellent and trustworthy person. However, the place where this healer treated patients was actually a pet shop...

The strangest thing was the requirements that Elvis relayed to them: first, always maintain the form of a cub in front of people and not reveal your identity; second, do not get too close to the medical staff.

Meeting Qiao Xuer's puzzled gaze, Dean nodded hesitantly.

The address he received was indeed here.

The two cool-looking beast-shaped bosses raised their heads and stared at the villa building with cute decorations and a small pet banner hanging on the roof. There was another silence.

Did they see it wrong?

The pet on the banner must be a silver-haired lion cub.

Looking at the little lion printed on the pet shop sign, its fur as white as snow, its obedient posture, and its eyes that could be described as gentle and calm, then thinking of the usually handsome and calm silver-haired man...

Although they didn't want to think about it, but... they had both seen Elvis's second form.

The little lion on the banner is about 80% similar to the majestic white lion in their memories.

If its hair and temples were longer and its eyes were more fierce, it would be a smaller version of a white lion.

Coincidentally, Dean and Qiao Xuer thought of a possibility and their expressions became increasingly complicated.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Dean jumped up and pressed the call sensor on the door.

At the same time, Tong Wanwan, who was lying among the pets and making small toys for them, also received a visit message popping up from the light brain.

The 1551 system automatically opened the surveillance screen and was startled: [Wanwan, another little animal has come to visit!]

Tong Wanwan turned her gaze to the projection screen and also saw the two little ones at the door.

In an instant, she, who was originally a little sleepy, suddenly became much more energetic.

There are two small animals, one is a pure white ferret, like a little elf in the snow; the other is a black panther with shiny black fur. Its body is so agile that it looks like a jungle warrior with long limbs, deep and powerful eyes.

One is black and the other is white. They are obviously just cubs, but they exude an aura that is difficult for ordinary people to match.

Tong Wanwan seemed to be thinking about something.

This little black panther and little ferret always feel...very similar to Cancan.

This similarity is not in appearance, but a kind of... invisible and indescribable aura.

When she stood up and was about to go out to open the door, she glanced at Cancan lying on the carpet.

The little white lion seemed not to care, but his two little ears, which couldn't hide his thoughts, were quietly pricked up.

This look is like observing from the dark.

Did she see it wrong?

I always feel that this time... Cancan is not so opposed to the appearance of new animals.

Pushing her doubts to the bottom of her heart, Tong Wanwan opened the villa door and tentatively stepped aside to make way for the two little animals. The little black panther and the little ferret followed in gracefully, like visiting guests.

The next second, they spotted a little white lion coming out of the house, and the more they looked at it, the more familiar it became.

Dean and Qiao Xiuer: "..."

Suddenly I feel like leaving.

The banner hanging outside the villa was indeed a photo of Elvis.

Could it be that the spiritual healing of Elvis's doctor friend is some new type of treatment that requires the patient to transform into a cub form before the process can continue?

The Marshal avoided the silent gazes of his two friends as if nothing had happened.

He just felt that if a normal, adult-looking animal suddenly came to the door, it would most likely scare Tong Wanwan.

And...speaking selfishly.

Elvis hoped that the first orc in his adult form that the girl would see would be him.
