Dracula is admiring Frankenstein as he is placed into the machine.
He was filled with joy at the thought of his soon-to-be-born children.
For hundreds of years, this has been his greatest obsession.
Listening to Frankenstein's screams and seeing the dazzling electric flashes bursting out of the machine, Dracula's eyes became more and more expectant.
He watched the first little vampire break out of its shell, but before he could be happy, he suddenly saw a flash of golden light, and the child was stabbed to death by a golden harpoon! The one who did it was a strong man with a full beard, who fell to the ground with a bang, laughing wildly.
Dracula clenched his fists and looked grim.
His last vampire bride was one step faster and flew towards the burly man with a roar.
"My child!"
Dracula just heard the bride's cry, and before he saw her approach the strong man, he saw the strong man suddenly throw out the harpoon in his hand.
A blinding golden light flashed, and the vampire bride was nailed to the wall, her body quickly decaying and dissipating.
Dracula was furious, but also a little terrified.
Where did this strong man come from? What kind of harpoon is that that he has that could actually hurt his bride?
Could it be that he had applied holy water? His eyes turned red, and he roared angrily. Just as he was about to bite the strong man to death, he suddenly saw a black shadow sweeping over.
When Dracula saw that it was a giant bat, he thought he saw a fellow bat.
Unexpectedly, the big bat transformed into a human and punched him in the chest, knocking him away.
Roar! Dracula roared as he completed his transformation.
Before he could stand firm, he saw a golden harpoon piercing his chest and nailing him to the wall.
A terrible force emanated from the harpoon, which actually made him feel the threat of death.
Dracula finally panicked.
"Let me go! Who are you?" he shouted.
"Your grandfather." A voice suddenly came out.
He looked up and saw a man flying in the air.
After the man responded casually, he complained to the other two, "You guys have already done everything, what am I doing here?"
"Who would have thought this guy was so vulnerable!" said the strong man.
"Don't kill him. We can sell him for some money if he's still alive," said the bat man.
The three people's words without paying attention to others completely angered Dracula.
He just opened his mouth and hadn't said anything when he saw the man hanging in the air waving at him.
An invisible energy poured in, Dracula's eyes went dark, and his consciousness began to become hazy.
His only remaining thought was: Could it be that God could come to the world in person?
When Van Helsing and his companions arrived at the castle, they saw Tony and his two companions chatting loudly.
Just when he was wondering if he had missed his target, he saw Anna pointing forward cautiously.
Dracula lay on the ground dying, his life or death unknown.
Frankenstein huddled in the corner, shivering.
Van Helsing looked around, confused for a moment, but soon came to his senses.
He thanked them solemnly, and the importance of the tavern grew stronger in his heart.
With such an opportunity, maybe I can really escape from God's manipulation!
Looking at the frightened Frankenstein, some of Van Helsing's beliefs gradually became firmer.
Although God has brought order and hope to the world, he is not without desires and is too inhuman.
He had no plans to build a new heaven to fight against God. He just wanted to continue his current life, kill the monsters that wreaked havoc on the world, and maintain order on earth.
But if one day the existence of God threatens human survival, he doesn't mind treating it as a monster!
After the thought came to light, Van Helsing felt a lot more relaxed.
…
"Aren't you going to have a wedding?" Xiao Feng asked.
Sitting opposite him was Van Helsing, who had come to the tavern just a week ago.
After these few days, Van Helsing became familiar with the guests in the tavern.
Everyone has a very good impression of this knight who hunts monsters and protects humanity.
"Wedding?" Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Fan Helsing smiled and nodded, "We plan to wait until later, after we have settled down, and invite everyone to witness it."
His relationship with Anna progressed by leaps and bounds.
After dealing with Dracula, he not only moved into the other party's house, but also revealed the existence of the tavern to the other party.
"Then we have to make it lively." Said Aquaman Arthur, but his tone sounded sour.
He always regretted that he got married too early.
For example, Xiao Feng and others in front of them held their weddings after entering the tavern, and invited some guests in the tavern to attend. While it was very lively, it also brought great shock to their respective original worlds.
He also wanted to show off his circle of friends, but he never had a suitable reason.
Several people were having a great time chatting about the wedding.
Sitting next to them, Xu Xian, Tang Bohu and others were discussing how to govern the country.
They were both good at talking but they spoke very convincingly, and Puss in Boots, who was standing on a stool, nodded frequently when he heard them.
A little further away, Han Li was playing with a small flag in his hand and chatting with Yan Chixia about cultivation.
Shi Potian and Xiaotian Dog each held a large wine jar, competing to see who could drink better.
Near the bar, Hua Tuo and Sun Simiao were sitting together, discussing medical skills.
After awakening the Silver Needle and Medicine Cauldron martial spirits respectively, the two's research directions shifted slightly.
Hua Tuo was originally good at acupuncture. When he discovered that the silver needle martial spirit contained a special power that could exert a stronger therapeutic effect, he began to focus on soul power.
For this purpose, he took the initiative to collect a lot of gold and exchanged it for some soul power wine.
His medical skills have improved a lot now. A few days ago, he even brought a young child back from the brink of death.
Sun Simiao's situation was similar to his.
With the help of the Medicine Cauldron Martial Spirit, he developed many medicines with extraordinary effects.
Many people suffering from difficult and complicated diseases were quickly cured by taking the decoctions or pills he prepared in the medicine cauldron.
Even if it is the same formula, the effect will be much stronger after being boiled in the medicine cauldron.
For this reason, he also took martial spirit as his major area of study.
With the gold he earned from selling these potions to some dignitaries, he also bought some soul power wine, which greatly improved his own strength.
Even though the two of them have found their direction of practice, their original intentions have not changed. They understand that medical skills are their core and their interest.
At this time, the two were talking about a disease.
This disease is called asthenia, and is also called blood disease or febrile disease.
After reading modern medical books, the two tacitly called it leukemia.
It is a disease caused by internal deficiency of essence and energy, invasion of warm and hot toxic evils, and blood damage in the human body. It also existed in the eras in which the two people lived.
Even though they all had the reputation of being miracle doctors, when they encountered such patients in the past, they could only use Chinese medicine to treat the symptoms and alleviate them, but could not cure them at all.
However, their respective martial spirits gave them the possibility to cure this disease.
Some time ago, Hua Tuo met such a patient and cured him through acupuncture.
Sun Simiao was in a similar situation and also encountered such patients.
However, he is different from Hua Tuo in that he uses the pills brewed by the medicine cauldron martial spirit to delay the symptoms of the disease, and based on the special medicines on Earth, he improves the formula and strengthens it with the medicine cauldron to completely eradicate the disease.
Sun Simiao sighed and said, "That kind of pill still has some limitations. If you encounter a serious illness, you still have to rely on Brother Hua's acupuncture to solve it."
"When Brother Sun's soul power increases a little more, the pills strengthened by the medicine cauldron will definitely solve this problem." Hua Tuo said with a smile, "When it is promoted, Brother Sun will benefit all people!"
Sun Simiao certainly understood this.
The biggest function of his medicine cauldron is to enhance the potency of medicine.
As soul power increases, this effect also increases.
If I could get some matching soul rings, maybe I could even transform its functions.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My strength is limited. I still have to improve the formula and achieve mass production."
Hua Tuo was about to speak when he suddenly turned his head as if he noticed something.
A strange figure appeared beside them.
The man was wearing a gray jacket, his eyes were red, and he looked distraught.
Hua Tuo and Sun Simiao looked at each other, both with surprised expressions.
He looks like another frustrated person! They both thought so.
Seeing that the other party was standing there in a daze without moving for a long time, Hua Tuo couldn't help but ask: "Brother, is this your first time in a tavern?"
The man then turned his head stiffly.
When he saw him, the other party seemed a little surprised and asked in a daze: "Are you gods or ghosts?"
Sun Simiao stroked his beard and smiled: "We are neither gods nor ghosts, we are just mortals like you."
He pointed to the empty seat next to him and said, "Brother seems to be troubled. If you don't mind, sit down and talk."
…
Half an hour ago.
The dimension of "I Am Not a God of Medicine".
Cheng Yong drove a pickup truck, ready to deliver the goods.
The car was carrying boxes of Gleevec.
These are all smuggled from India, a special medicine for leukemia.
Because of patent protection issues, it is not legal in the country.
Cheng Yong once made his fortune by smuggling this kind of drug.
That was several years ago. He was middle-aged and his wife divorced him to take their son abroad. His Indian magic oil shop had little business and he couldn't pay the rent, so the landlord changed the locks and kicked him out.
A man named Lu Shouyi gave him some advice.
The other party was suffering from leukemia and could not afford the extremely expensive genuine Gleevec, so he came to him on his own initiative, hoping that he could go to India to buy imitation products on his behalf.
Although they are pirated drugs, their efficacy is basically the same and the prices are quite different.
At this time, Cheng Yong's situation became even worse. His father suddenly fell ill and urgently needed a large sum of money for surgery.
With no other options left, he decided to take a risk.
Everything went smoothly. He successfully obtained a generic version of the drug from an Indian manufacturer and reached an exclusive agency agreement.
He increased the price of Gleevec, which had an import price of 500 yuan, tenfold and sold it for 5,000 yuan per box.
Even so, it is nearly ten times cheaper than the original price, so it is very popular among patients.
With this medicine, he made a lot of money and his life changed dramatically.
During this period, he also built a small team to help buy and sell drugs.
Apart from him, the rest are patients or family members suffering from leukemia.
Lu Shouyi, who showed him this way, is a taciturn but loyal little yellow-haired boy named Peng Hao; Liu Sihui, a single mother whose daughter is ill and makes money in a nightclub; and Pastor Liu, who helped him contact the manufacturer.
When a few frustrated people get together, their lives begin to improve visibly.
Just when everyone was full of hope for the future, the police began to conduct a strict investigation and a fraudulent counterfeit drug dealer also set his sights on their business.
Even though he knew that he had become the hope in the hearts of several people around him and his fellow patients, Cheng Yong still backed off when he thought of his son and his seriously ill father.
He accepted the fake drug dealer's proposal, sold the agency rights for two million, and opened a factory.
Although not extremely rich, at least we are safe and prosperous.
Until a few days ago, Lu Shouyi’s wife came to the door.
Only then did he learn that the fake drug dealer had left not long ago due to police pursuit.
Without cheap Indian medicines and unable to afford genuine drugs, many patients have run out of medicine.
Lu Shouyi is one of them.
After he stopped taking the medicine, his condition deteriorated rapidly.
When they met again, Cheng Yong couldn't bear to see his haggard face and hear his screams during the wound cleaning, so he decided to go to India himself to buy medicine for him.
But when he came back from a long journey to buy the medicine, he learned that Lu Shouyi had already left.
Seeing the yellow-haired man sitting on the steps, eating oranges silently, Cheng Yong's heart trembled violently.
He thought about the last time he saw Lu Shouyi, who was already emaciated and lying on a hospital bed, and invited him to eat oranges given to him by others.
When he came out of the mourning hall, he saw the men and women wearing masks who came to see Lu Shouyi off.
He is familiar with everyone.
All of them were former customers of mine among my fellow patients.
Seeing the misery and numbness in their eyes, Cheng Yong felt guilty and made an important decision.
He wants to restart his previous business.
Because the Indian manufacturer was involved in lawsuits, the purchase price rose to two thousand, but Cheng Yong sold it for five hundred!
He invested all the factory's profits in it.
Just like before, Cheng Yong drove his car and sold drugs secretly.
He doesn't do it for money, he just wants peace of mind.
Soon someone came to his door. It was the yellow-haired Peng Hao, the first person to leave him.
The two chatted for a few sentences, and Peng Hao put aside his previous grudges. Although he still didn't talk much, he obviously trusted him more.
Every time Peng Hao came early to help him move the goods.
Knowing that this guy is only in his early twenties and that he ran away from home after learning about his illness for fear of dragging down his family, this time Cheng Yong suggested that he go home to visit.
Peng Hao, who has always been stubborn, listened to him and cut his yellow hair and changed to a neat crew cut when they met this time.
Cheng Yong was quite satisfied.
The two of them were driving together to transport goods, and Peng Hao wanted to go to the toilet on the way.
Leaning against the front of the car, Cheng Yong was waiting for the other party, while also thinking about the future.
He knew very well that selling medicine was not a long-term solution.
As a policeman, his former brother-in-law Cao Bin, who was in charge of investigating the case, had subtly reminded him a few days ago.
The fake drug dealer who took 300,000 yuan from him and planned to run away was arrested.
Although the other party was very righteous and did not give him up, everyone knew that if he continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before he was exposed.
Cao Bin obviously also realized his identity.
"Should we stop it early?" Cheng Yong hesitated.
Peng Hao just came back after using the toilet.
However, the other party had a strange expression on his face, and he thought he was not feeling well. Unexpectedly, the boy said, "It feels good."
Cheng Yong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But before he could get in the car, Peng Hao drove away at high speed.
When he saw the police car following closely, he realized what had happened.
Peng Hao was caught up by the police, but it was not a police car that stopped him, but a car accident that ended everything.
When they met again, all Cheng Yong saw was a bloody corpse.
Standing in the morgue and looking at the body bag in front of him, Cheng Yong was in a daze and completely hopeless.
If he hadn't stopped earlier, would this have happened? If he had been more careful, Peng Hao wouldn't have died like this! Various thoughts flashed through his mind.
Lu Shouyi died, Peng Hao also died, they both died indirectly because of me!
Even if he was caught and went to jail, he could no longer back down.
Just as he was daydreaming, a series of images suddenly flashed through his mind, along with a strange voice.
Cheng Yong had no time to think about it. He just stood there woodenly, and failed to notice the changes in front of him at the first time.
Until he was awakened by Hua Tuo's voice.
