I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

Location: Gotham City

Several days have passed since the town mayor was murdered, and in those days, people have gradually uncovered the mayor's greedy ambitions.

The mayor wants to control the entire town and even create a new "town" by summoning an evil god.

All the mayor's previous goodwill was overturned by this incident.

When pressed for details, the surviving guards of the mayor claimed they were unaware of the mayor's actions.

Whether servants, guards, or gardeners, they all claimed to know nothing.

Some people say that the old mage [Ron Fortunas], who is often seen next to the mayor, might know...

When people found Ron Fortunas, cut in half, in the ruins

In that astonishing scene, someone recognized Reed as the one fighting in the ruins.

The story spread quickly, and soon the whole town knew about it.

The mayor's misdeeds had already outweighed the merits of the case, so no one doubted that Red was wrong.

But when people were preparing to throw a thank-you party for Red... they couldn't find him...

All of this plunged the town into chaos; the town's mayor was gone.

The town hall where it used to be was in complete chaos again, and because the mayor was gone, the crime rate suddenly increased.

The government has already said it will send people to resolve the issue, but the town is too remote to reach in a short time.

The government wouldn't be willing to use such a precious item as a teleportation stone, which created opportunities for some evildoers to commit crimes...

Some say that the god-slayer, Redner, is dead, or that he is a master who has gone into hiding.

Because all that was found at the scene was a pool of blood and a broken little pickaxe that had fallen to the ground...

Furthermore, the group discovered from the data that the god summoned normally was actually a substandard, super unfinished product!

[Schadenfreude]'s body is fundamentally unsuitable for the parasitism of an evil god; it's less of a possession and more of a manifestation of it.

Rather, it was more like they were forcibly stuffed inside, and because the mayor didn't offer enough sacrifices, the summoned blood god was quite weak.

Furthermore, the Blood God is not particularly powerful among the evil gods; in fact, he is considered low-level.

Therefore, Red did not kill a truly complete god.

Instead, it's a substandard, inferior product with insufficient ingredients—a half-finished work!

Even after losing so much health, Reid barely managed to kill his opponent.

It's hard to imagine... how many lives would it take for anyone else to defeat him...

Most people believed that Red was dead, having perished together with the evil god.

Apart from……

A bearded man pushed open the door of the [Story of All Things Guild].

He glanced around the empty shop, sighed, and then called out, "Anlisa! Are you inside?"

This man was none other than Tef, a lame adventurer who had come to fill in for a missing member during a previous mission.

My leg is now healed, and after helping to rescue people in the rubble, I joined the Story of All Things Guild.

Anlisa pushed open the door, but her dark circles were obvious, indicating she hadn't slept well last night.

"Um... Good morning, Tef."

Anlisa, a soldier captain, is primarily responsible for training soldiers and protecting the town. She unexpectedly meets Reid during Reid's second visit to the town...

Tef, noticing the other person's dark circles, advised, "You should take a rest. I'm here today anyway."

Anlisa didn't stand on ceremony; after giving a few instructions, she sat down in a chair and fell asleep.

Tef brought over two more stools to make a bed, adjusted Anlisa's position, and then pushed open the door.

This was Rena's room. Tef saw Rena on the bed and Alice beside her, seemingly talking to herself.

Tef asked, "Has anything changed...?"

Alice stopped talking to herself and replied dejectedly, "She hasn't woken up..."

The person Alice was referring to was Reina, who was lying unconscious in bed...

Rena was quickly transported to medical personnel amidst the ruins, but her injuries were far too severe and dangerous.

The healing mage once said, "This person's healing consumes too much mana; it might even take me five days without being able to use mana!"

But saving lives is the priority, the monk advised, "We can save her life, but there's a possibility..."

"Stop beating around the bush! I'll explain! It's just that I estimate... it'll be very difficult for him to wake up again..."

Finally, Tef nodded, and a day later, Rena successfully escaped danger from the Holy Healing Hall.

The side effect is that since then, Rena has never woken up, not even opened her eyes...

This state is termed "severe coma," or in other words, a vegetative state.

Rena is in a vegetative state... She is conscious, her other organs are not dead, her heart is still beating, and she can still breathe.

However, something went wrong in his mind, resulting in a state where he was still conscious, but unable to move or even open his eyes.

So Rena is conscious; she may know what's happening and what she's going through, but she can't move, can't even speak, and her fingers are also very weak...

Imagine you are fully conscious, but you can't move at all. You can't open your eyes, move your fingers, or even roll over.

Awake in the darkness...

After learning about this, Alice talked to Rena almost every day.

Although Reina wouldn't answer, and it's unclear whether Reina could even hear him.

However, this state is not permanent and can potentially be reversed. As long as there is hope, we will not give up.

Tef and Anlisa thought so too, and they tried it every day...

Tef sat down on the chair next to her and, seeing Alice about to get up to get water, asked, "Shall I get you some water?"

Alice waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, Tef! I..."

Before Alice could finish speaking, she suddenly began coughing violently, "Cough! Cough cough! Cough!"

Tef hurriedly went out and got a glass of water for Alice.

Alice pulled down the mask over her mouth and swallowed the water.

She then rubbed her throat, her teeth clenched, as if she were trembling with pain.

Tef hurriedly told Alice to go out and rest as well, and urged her to speak less.

In the ruins, Alice inhaled a large amount of harmful dust and some poisonous substances from broken bottles and jars while unconscious.

Although he is out of danger, he still coughs frequently, and sometimes it's a severe cough.

The cough felt like something was stuck in her throat; Alice tried to force herself not to cough.

But this doesn't work at all; it's like subconscious muscle memory—you can't control it...

Coughing causes throat pain due to prolonged coughing.

This pain will only get worse, and unless you stop coughing, it will accumulate into a heart-wrenching, excruciating pain.

Many of these incidents led to Alice's insomnia, Reid's uncertain fate, and Rena's coma, all of which contributed to her poor mental state.

I'm constantly in a negative mood, and the smile on my lips is only forced and coerced...

Even in such a difficult situation, Alice rarely rested, still sweeping the floor and taking care of Rena.

Alice would often say this when she was advised to rest...

"Relax, relax, don't treat me like a patient all the time~ I can still sweep the floor normally, I can take care of myself. You used to be the ones taking care of me, now it's the other way around~"

Everyone was also worried about Reed. Tef was grateful and respectful, after all, Reed had done most of the work on that mission.

Although Anlisa sometimes dislikes Reed, she is now trying to find him. Even though he is a bit heartless, at least he saved someone...

The scene shifts back to Tef, just as Tef is about to speak to Rena...

The back door opened, and Tef assumed it was Alice returning.

Just as he turned around to try and persuade them to go back, Tef noticed three people standing in the doorway.

Alice and Anlisa were acquainted with Tef, but there was another person standing between them whom Tef did not recognize.

Tef squinted and examined him closely, then exclaimed in surprise, "Your long ears...you're an elf?!"

Ouyang Qing tightened the bow she was carrying and said, "Let's go find that Redner."
