The opening of the Freedom Clinic: The rebirth of the guardians of each world
The neon lights of the cyberpunk city lit up again in the sea of nothingness. The tower of the former "Linshen Clinic" was replaced with a holographic sign of "Freedom Clinic". On the reception desk were placed healing tokens from various worlds: osmanthus cakes from the demon world, cola cans from the end of the world, and broken sword tassels from the world of immortal cultivation.
Xiaodou lay sprawled on the examination table, watching Bai Shenyuan (the fused Lin Shen) bandage his wound with a cyberpunk data bandage. His three soul patterns had transformed into a protective seal interwoven with silver foxfire and golden gears. His fingertips gently touched Xiaodou's gear runes, unexpectedly drawing the conceptual Rat King's Freedom Totem in the air.
"Does it hurt?" Lin Shen's voice was filled with tenderness and determination after the fusion of three souls.
Xiaodou shook his head, watching his claw gradually transform back into a Lucky Rat, but now with a silver star of free code at the center of the gear rune. A mechanical cat (Snowball) approached, dragging a smoking claw, a fragment of a beeswax chain from the ancient story of a house fight embedded in its core. "Congratulations! 78% of the sweet shackles of Heaven have been lifted."
The door to the clinic was suddenly thrown open, and the guardian clones from various worlds entered one after another:
- The Rat King Ah Shen of the Apocalypse pushes the Coke Can Throne, the star scar on his tail flashing with quantum light;
- Ming Shu from the Xiuxian world holds a repaired flying sword, with the tassel tied with Bai Shenyuan's fox fur;
- In the Star Wars chapter, the Major General is holding the mechanical cat No. 002, with a variant of the word "Abyss" engraved on his arm armor.
"Concept Rat King," Mingshu knelt on one knee, "it is you who freed us from the puppets of heaven."
Xiaodou frantically waved his hands, only to see Ayuan, the school idol from the school chapter, following behind them. He held a fragment of the author's manuscript from the master outline. The text on the fragment was automatically rewriting, and the original "Sweetness is shackles" became "Sweetness is the sugar coating of freedom."
The mechanical cat suddenly made the clattering sound of gears turning, and its body split and reassembled, transforming into a fusion of a ragdoll cat and a mechanical mouse—its white fur dotted with data patterns, its tail a flickering fiber optic. It used a laser pointer to project the Freedom Clinic's service areas onto the wall:
"Business includes but is not limited to: cross-world emotional counseling, sweet energy recycling, and the removal of Heavenly Dao residues."
The school hunk A Yuan raised his hand and asked, "Then my milk tea debt..."
The mechanical cat's pupils flashed red. "It has been offset by the energy of the Heavenly Dao Furnace. I will also give you a coupon for the 'zero-yuan purchase' of the Star Chapter."
Lin Shen suddenly embraced Xiaodou, his three soul patterns unfolding behind him into the shadowy wings of the Sky-Swallowing Rat, the Treasure-Hunting Rat, and the Gear Mouse. He lowered his head, his glasses sliding down his nose, revealing a teardrop mole identical to Bai Yan's. "Actually, when I first saw you in the demon world, I knew..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiaodou blocked his mouth with the tip of her tail. The gear rune resonated with the protective mark, writing the words "No need to tell me, I remember everything" in the void. The cherry blossoms outside the clinic suddenly blossomed with flowers interwoven with rainbow candy wrappers and foxfire, each petal reflecting the scenes of their encounters in various worlds.
When they parted, the guardians of each world left gifts:
1. The Rat King's Tooth Necklace: Contains the Freedom Clinic's inter-world transmission chip;
2. Star General's Spirit Body Contract: Allows Xiaodou to summon the Sweet Energy Matrix at any time;
3. RoboCat's Ultimate Code: Enter "Lin Shen" to unlock the Concept Rat King's hidden form.
Lin Shen gazed at the cyberpunk city outside the clinic. In the distance, Data Well 14-01 was spewing a stream of colorful data. His sleeve slipped down, revealing a new tattoo—a fusion symbol of "∞" and "sweet," with Xiaodou's signature paw print written next to it.
The mechanical cat suddenly sounded an alarm. On the clinic's holographic map, the abyss cracks in the Cthulhu chapter were widening. From within the cracks floated a note pleading for help from the Secret Keeper Cat: "Concept Rat King, something is stirring in the Ancient God's stomach..."
Xiaodou's gear runes heated up again, this time revealing not words but a pattern interwoven with the tentacle totems of Cthulhu and the data torrents of cyberpunk. Lin Shen clenched his claws, and the three soul patterns transformed into a hybrid of a gun (Ling Yuan), foxfire (Bai Yan), and a syringe (Lin Shen). "This time, we'll face this together."
