Gu Li hadn't been lost in thought for long when, just as he flew to the church entrance, he was suddenly pulled inside by a slender arm that emerged from the darkness.
She was dragged into Cecil's clinic in a rather disheveled state.
"Ouch! Cecil, slow down! I'm already here, why don't you let me walk in myself!"
Cecil didn't have time for pleasantries. He pushed a bed in front of her, on which was piled a shapeless mess. Gu Li was silent for a moment.
Cecil quickly nudged her back, his voice urgent: "Wang Xi is about to die! He was caught in the crossfire by that stinky fish while trying to bring Angel and the others here!"
Gu Li remembered all the advanced species in the alien city from beginning to end. No matter how ugly their current forms were, they were all humans who had been abandoned here before.
She stared at the black liquid twitching on the bed from time to time, hesitated for less than half a second, and then placed her palm on his body. The starlight within her had long since been exhausted.
But at this moment, she forced him to squeeze from every corner of his body and deliver it to him through his palms, while Cecil was busy treating other people.
If she saw Gu Li's current state, she would definitely stop immediately.
The Child of Light's act of forcibly squeezing his own body is extremely foolish. If he does not receive proper replenishment in the process, the process of replenishing his starlight in the future will be extremely long.
Gu Li did feel a stinging pain in his body, but he focused more on his subordinate Wang Xi until Wang Xi's body gradually calmed down and his consciousness subsided. Only then did Gu Li withdraw his hand.
She didn't know how much starlight she had just sent to Wang Xi, but it was the limit of what she could do at the moment.
She leaned against the wall behind her for a while, then suddenly noticed that the figure on Wang Xi's bed seemed a little off.
Cecil's examination room was so dark that she could only see the outlines, so she had to flap her wings and take a few steps forward to confirm it.
She lifted the sheet she had casually covered Wang Qi with, and suddenly met a blurry face. At the same time, a faint voice came from behind her: "Lili, what are you doing?"
Startled, Gu Li got goosebumps all over her back. She quickly pulled the blanket back over herself, pointed at the bed, and then looked at the faint, thin lines on the ceiling.
"He...this...Wang Qi seems to have turned into a human?!"
"What?!"
She never expected that Cecil, who was more composed than her and claimed to be omnipotent, would scream and pounce on her from behind, his slender arms searching for the body under the blanket.
The faint, ever-emerging protrusions of his wrists made Gu Li feel subtly apologetic—to Wang Xi on the bed, Cecil now looked like a non-human character from a third-rate movie.
She flapped her wings and silently retreated a distance until her back was pressed against the door panel, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
After Cecil finished his investigation, he looked at Gu Li with great interest: "I never thought my guess was true! Li Li, you're simply a miracle!"
Gu Li, somewhat excited, leaned closer and struggled to make out the outline of a human figure again in the darkness.
"He's really... back to normal now?" Gu Li asked with a hint of surprise.
Cecil answered decisively, "No."
Clam?
Cecil's slender wrist, which had fallen from the ceiling, swayed in front of her like a waltz, and she said with a smug look, "There should have been a brief recovery just now, but it's still not very stable."
"Lili, how much starlight did you send to Wang Xi just now?"
Gu Li hesitated for a moment, then twisted her front paws together: "Well, I squeezed it out with all my might, so I'll give you as much as I can..."
I don't know how much they gave, but now there's not a single drop left.
After a moment of silence in the consultation room, Gu Li was suddenly thrown onto a bed by Cecil, who suddenly appeared and stuffed a box into his arms.
Cecil's tone left no room for refusal: "From now on, you will lie here and drink nutritional supplements until you are no longer hungry and can't drink anymore."
Suddenly receiving the treatment of a sick person, Gu Li wanted to protest, but found that she couldn't even lift a single paw. Her empty stomach made her so hungry that she almost wanted to bite herself.
She clumsily pried open the box with her paws, and a row of He Wei's faces came into view. She sighed, poked a hole in the bottle with her paws, and gulped it down in her mouth with lightning speed.
Then open the next bottle and repeat the process.
Unable to put her mind at ease, Cecil, who had simply moved his clinic here, saw her actions and even the branches seemed to cheer: "You like this nutrient solution too? I've collected many generations of it, but don't worry, this is a recent release, and I really like this new spokesperson!"
Gu Li silently stuffed another bottle into his mouth, pretending he didn't have time to talk, and looked back at the box containing the nutrient solution. Good heavens, it was made of solid wood and had gemstones inlaid on the four corners.
The box lid was covered with a series of ornate characters, and upon closer inspection, one could even see a carefully cut-out bottle packaging piece that had been meticulously pasted onto it.
Gu Li: A new era of Guka?!
She didn't drink a box of Cecil's collectible millet, did she?
Thinking of this, Gu Li coughed uncomfortably and said to Cecil, "I also have this set of nutrients, I can give you a set with consecutive numbers."
Upon hearing this, Cecil, who was focused on the treatment, suddenly raised her voice eight octaves: "Really? I love this He Wei limited edition so much, thank you!"
Gu Li chuckled twice, then thought that Cecil was quite good this way. Having something to like was better than having nothing to like and living a lonely life in this isolated city.
Inside the church, Cecil's ability must have isolated him from the outside world. Gu Lilianxuan ate a whole box of nutrient solution, and his lizard face turned several shades paler before he finally felt full.
She asked Cecil, "How's it going outside?"
In the darkness, Cecil flicked his slender wrist and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the king will definitely be fine."
Gu Li, having exhausted her starlight, realized she couldn't help Cecil with this, so she jumped off the bed and said, "I'll go outside and help too. I'm afraid Eric and the others won't be able to handle it."
"Hey, with that tentacle monster Levi around, how could he possibly be too busy? Don't worry."
Gu Li frowned and looked towards the door. She asked hesitantly, "Has no one been brought in for a while?"
Cecil paused, her slender arms that had been waving around on several beds, and then a few of them pointed outwards. Her voice was tinged with resentment: "Those stinking barnacles ate the arms I left outside! I'm going to get rid of them!"
Gu Li immediately grabbed her wrist and seized the opportunity to fly away: "Let me go see, this is your home turf, good luck!"
As soon as Gu Li stepped out of the ward, his eyes darkened.
Those "passengers" clinging to the giant whale, who were able to suppress Cecil's senses, are probably not simple at all.
Instead of going out through the main entrance, she went straight to the second floor. From the window, she could see the barnacles that almost covered the street, and with the moss that originally covered the street, the city looked as if it had just been freshly dredged up from the sea after being soaked for hundreds of years.
