Nightmare Paradise : Starting as a Doctor

Lynn did not expect the woman to wake up so quickly.

Given the severity of her injuries, even he himself should have remained in a coma for three or four days, if not more.

But now, after just one night of sleep, she was awake?

In addition to that, before he had time to notice anything, in a swift and sudden motion, his wrist was caught by her. She was definitely an extraordinary person.

"As you can see, I am a doctor," Lynn quickly interjected, attempting to dispel any misunderstanding.

This accident was indeed a shock, but without wasting a second, Lynn's reaction was also extremely quick.

He was the first to identify himself, saying, "I saved you last night. You still have a slight fever, and the wound is not completely healed. I'm just using my ability to accelerate the healing process."

Lynn carefully chose his words to convey crucial messages.

He wanted to emphasize that he was the one who had rescued her, the individual solely responsible for saving her life. And that he was just using his ability to accelerate the healing of her wounds.

"Doctor?" Upon hearing these words, the sharp gaze of the blonde woman in front of her softened.

She furrowed her brows slightly as if she was recalling exactly what had happened the day before.

"I am still alive?" Remembering something, the blonde murmured something from her mouth, and her eyes gradually lit up. Apparently, if she hadn't had the luck to encounter a doctor, she would have died on her own.

Of course, the ambiance wouldn't have been as uncomfortable if it weren't for the warmth of Lynn’s hand, which served as a stark reminder that she was still naked at the moment.

Lynn, however, looked away, pointed to the torn clothes with bloodstains nearby, and said without hesitation, "Your clothes were cut during the operation last night. I'm sorry, you were unconscious at that time, and in order to save you, I couldn't ask for your consent."

As he felt his wrist being released, Lynn swiftly reached for a hospital gown that he had thoughtfully prepared for this circumstance and handed it to her, saying very kindly, "If you don't mind, you can wear these clothes first."

"Thank you."

This woman acted very calmly, and her behavior showed no signs of panic. She naturally received the clothes and draped them over her body, covering it.

Upon hearing these thanks, Lynn also breathed a sigh of relief. At least not waking up and starting a fight was a good start.

"You can call me Lynn." Since the woman was awake, he introduced himself and added, "If you feel any discomfort, you can let me know. Of course, my current power is limited."

"Hmm." The blonde woman nodded, her tone as cold as her behavior. Out of courtesy, she added a few words, "My name is Alice "

After saying that, she wanted to get up from the ground, but this movement seemed to exacerbate her injury, causing her delicate eyebrows to furrow in pain.

Although the other party was a bit cold and distant, there was at least not much malice for now.

Seeing that she wanted to get up, Lynn persuaded her, "Miss Alice, you have a fracture in your left arm, and the wound on your chest has just been stitched. So, I suggest you not to do it."

However, she didn't listen to the advice.

Seeing that she insisted and feared that she would fall and reopen the stitched wound, Lynn instinctively reached out and gently helped her.

Alice did not refuse.

Lynn felt that he needed to say something, but he had just appeared in this hospital the day before and didn't know anything, and his intuition told him it was better not to open her mouth.

However, without waiting for him to speak, the woman named Alice took the initiative and opened her mouth, asking: “Doctor Lynn, did you just enter this newly formed forbidden space, or were you in this hospital before it became like this?”

He froze for a moment as the words sparked a flurry of thoughts that raced through his mind. He wondered if a forbidden space is another term used for a dungeon.

"Forbidden Space? What does she mean by that?" Lynn pondered internally. "I had assumed that this hospital filled with zombies was created from scratch by Nightmare Paradise. But her words imply that this place exists independently, beyond just being a dungeon space."

This revelation shattered Lynn's assumptions. If this hospital was not conjured into being when he entered the dungeon trial, but instead already existed in some form before that, then where exactly was he? And how did he get here?

Lynn's mind spun as he tried to comprehend the possibilities.

"These questions are too far for my current circumstances," he concluded, reining in his racing speculations. "I am still in the midst of the dungeon trial. I can't afford to get distracted."

Regaining his composure, Lynn responded in his usual calm tone. "No, I was here before."

Alice's eyes widened fractionally, a hint of surprise crossing her face. "You were also in this hospital?" she asked.

Lynn simply nodded.

Alice studied him for a moment before speaking again. "Would you be interested in cooperating with me?" she asked directly.

In saying that, she was afraid that the person in front of her might not fully grasp the gravity of their current situation, so she added: “I am a [Detective], I was assigned to investigate this hospital suspected of being involved in illegal activities related to individuals with extraordinary powers, and for conducting forbidden experiments and research. “

Lynn listened, his mind rapidly processing the information conveyed by those words.

“Forbidden experiments and research? Is it the origin of the disease that could transform people into zombies?” As Lynn heard the mention of forbidden experiments, he couldn’t help but think about the mysterious disease that could turn people into zombies.

This blonde woman Alice evidently held a substantial amount of information that he desperately needed.

With all these thoughts in mind, Lynn displayed no emotion and calmly asked, "What kind of cooperation?"
