Dark World: I Became the Doctor of Horrors

[Ding! Raven's Sanity Value - 10]

Raven blankly looked at his old partner in front of him, looking at the mature woman's face in her prime, and his worldviews shattered into pieces.

Black Skull coughed and turned his gaze away a bit awkwardly, saying,

"Cough! Sorry, sir! When I was just a skeleton before, there was too much wear and tear, and I didn't know my own gender. But after that young man restored my appearance before I died, I found out that I was a woman..."

"Sorry for scaring you."

Crack—

Raven subconsciously took a few blank steps back, feeling as if something had shattered into pieces.

Something's wrong!

Something's wrong!

What magical things happened during the three days when he was away!

Why can't he understand it! Why can't he understand it at all!

...

After dozens of minutes, Raven frowned tightly as he finished reading the observation report of these three days, and the corners of his mouth twitched crazily.

And those subordinates in front of him were all trembling, walking on eggshells, not daring to say a word.

Raven held the observation report, took a few deep breaths, clenched his fists with a clicking sound, turned his head to look at Ryan in the wooden cell, and gritted his teeth, saying,

"Amazing! I didn't expect that I underestimated you before. I didn't expect that you have quite a lot of strange abilities! It seems that you've managed to play my more than twenty subordinates around like fools?!"

He was so angry inside!

When he came here, he was still worried that this guy would be treated maliciously by his subordinates.

But now it seems...

There's no need to worry about that crap at all!

He's living a much better life than anyone else!

If he had come back a few weeks later, I'm afraid the team would have been led away by him to set up their own faction!

He's managed to win over everyone one by one!

Ryan shook his head and said shyly, "No, no! I just wanted to improve the relationship with my colleagues. After all, this is the Dark World. A harmonious and loving relationship among colleagues will not only help improve the team's cooperation ability but also increase the survival rate. Moreover..."

"Shut up!!" Raven was really angry.

Ryan nodded seriously and then asked, "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore. Mr. Raven, how's the situation? Has the order for dealing with me come down? It's not to behead me, right?"

Raven took a deep breath and took out a document from his arms, saying indifferently,

"The higher-ups have given me the decision-making power. Given the special nature of your abilities, to prevent you from spreading diseases randomly after you go out, you can be temporarily accepted as a member of the Night Healers. However, whether you can finally join or not depends on the vote of every Night Healer present..."

He paused for a moment.

Then he turned his head, gritted his teeth with a clicking sound, and looked at his group of subordinates whose eyes had already brightened up.

"Vote... for the decision!"

There's no need to vote at all!

(╯‵皿′)╯︵┻━┻

Damn it!

Looking at the expressions of those bastards, their favorability towards him has probably been maxed out already, and the votes have probably been cast in advance!

Raven took a deep breath and closed his eyes. However, the procedure still had to be followed.

"Those who don't agree to let him join our Raven Group, please raise your hands."

He raised his hand.

"..."

"..."

There was silence all around.

After the awkward atmosphere lasted for a while, Black Skull finally raised his hand with a trembling smile.

Raven took a glance.

Sure enough, he's really an old partner.

He always keeps in step with him at critical moments! Good! Good! Good!

Black Skull kept smiling and nodded towards Raven, with a few drops of sweat falling from the back of his head.

After all...

He couldn't let Sir Raven be too embarrassed...

He should show some token support to give Mr. Raven a way out. After all, they're old partners...

In fact, he could tell that letting this young man join the organization was also the intention of the higher-ups. This was just a formality. No matter whether he was suitable for the profession of Night Healer or not, his ability to inflict diseases was too terrifying.

Rather than that, it would be better to absorb him.

After all, if the Plague Doctors snatched him away, it would be a big trouble.

...

The next day.

After saying goodbye to the townspeople of the Silent Town, Ryan, who had obtained the qualification of Night Healer, followed Raven and his group on the journey to their stronghold.

"Mr. Raven, am I already considered a member of the Night Healers now?"

Ryan followed behind Raven, adjusted his newly made monocle, and asked.

Raven walked indifferently and said,

"You just have the qualification to join the Night Healers. But whether you can finally be recognized or not still needs to pass some essential assessments."

"After we return to our stronghold later, I'll take you to our base camp in person. And whether you can pass the inspection or not depends on your own luck."

[Ding! You've obtained the qualification to join the Night Healers!]

[Ding! Your current popularity in the Night Healer camp is: 65. After the popularity reaches 100, the next stage of tasks will be officially opened for you!]

The system prompts came to his ears.

Ryan nodded and said seriously, "That's great!"

Soon.

Ryan followed Raven and his group and passed through the Cursed Territory and arrived at one of their strongholds located among the mountains.

In the entire Night Healer group, every Night Healer would be divided into one independent group after another. Some large groups might have hundreds of Night Healers, while smaller ones also had dozens.

This was for unified actions and timely support.

And the group of Night Healers led by Raven was a group responsible for the area of the Cursed Territory.

"You should remember this."

Raven brought Ryan to a pitch-black portal in the stronghold, stretched out his hand and outlined one complex rune after another in front of the portal.

And as the runes were formed, the gate in front of them slowly showed a pitch-black luster.

Raven raised his head and said,

"Don't use your real name when registering. Since you're going to join the Night Healers, you need to choose an independent code name."

"Because among the patients we deal with, there are many creatures who are proficient in the curse of real names. If you rashly use your real name, it will bring you a lot of trouble."

Ryan nodded to show that he understood.

And in the next moment.

A flash of light suddenly flashed across the portal in front of them.

And when they opened their eyes again, they were already in a busy teleportation hall.

[Ding! You've arrived at the City of Night!]

"Here we are! This is the base camp of our organization, the City of Night under the stars!"

Raven raised his head and said.

Ryan looked around in surprise.

This was a huge teleportation hall, and everyone around was wearing black clothes and a beak mask, coming and going.

And looking out through this hall, one could see one tall spire after another rising up into the night sky.

It was even bigger and more shocking than he had imagined!

And Ryan also found that he had seriously underestimated the scale of the Night Healer group.

In the Dark World, it was definitely a powerful organization and force.

"There's nothing to see. I'll take you to the trial hall."

Raven pushed the brim of his hat and grabbed Ryan's wrist, striding towards another direction.

Soon.

After turning left and right.

Ryan followed Raven to a tall tower. Compared with the teleportation hall just now, there were obviously fewer people here.

And inside the tall tower, one could see many creatures like him who didn't wear beak masks, including dark elves, mechanical creatures, ghosts, and even tentacle monsters.

Obviously.

Those were all creatures who had obtained the qualification of Night Healer through various ways.

In front of a counter similar to a business hall, Raven knocked on the doorpost in front of him, looked at a multi-eyed tentacle monster inside, and said,

"Nightmare, long time no see. Give me an occupation form. I've brought a newcomer who needs to be assessed."

Clatter—

One vertical eye after another opened on that pile of sticky flesh, and the gaze immediately fell on Ryan and Raven. Then a slit opened on that pile of flesh, and strange laughter came out.

"Hehe, Raven, is this the child who can inflict diseases that you mentioned? He looks like a very cute human, hehe he."

An evil gaze fell on Ryan, and tentacles wriggled around with a clatter.

Ryan immediately became happy and said,

"Thank you for your compliment. You're the first creature to praise me as cute."

Ryan also stretched out a tentacle and shook hands with his tentacle in a friendly way.

The tentacle monster's gaze obviously stiffened for a moment.

The same... the same kind?!

He stared, (.;ﾟ;: 益:;ﾟ;.) looked Ryan's round tentacle up and down, and quickly took out a form and put it on the counter tremblingly.

Raven took a glance at the form and said,

"Fill in the form. Also, put away your tentacle. Although he's also a tentacle monster, he has a psychological shadow on other tentacle monsters. Don't scare him."

Ryan was startled and said in astonishment, "Well... I thought he would be very friendly when he saw me."

With that, Ryan quickly put away the tentacles that he had popped out to try to increase the "same kind" favorability, and then his gaze fell on the form.

He picked up the quill pen.

After briefly scanning it, he quickly filled in some basic information.

"Finished filling it in?"

"Yes, yes!"

Raven picked up the form and took a casual glance, and then the corners of his mouth twitched immediately.

"Are you sure you want to use this as your code name?! And this self-introduction of yours, are you sure you don't want to think about it again?"

Ryan adjusted his monocle and said, "I think it suits my characteristics very well. I won't change it."

Raven rubbed his temples and then handed the form over with a pained expression.

Forget it!

Forget it!

Anyway, the reputation of their Night Healers is already bad enough. It can't get any worse. It doesn't matter if there's one more like him.

Soon, the identity plate was printed out.

[Code Name]: Good Doctor・Peacemaker

[Identity]: Apprentice Night Healer

[Assessment]: Not Conducted

[Introduction]: A kind doctor who can bring happiness and well-being to people, a human Night Healer with excellent soothing and medical abilities, accepting medical commissions in all aspects, and having some achievements in gynecology, internal medicine, psychiatry, mechanical department, and anorectal department.

Raven held the form with a pained expression and said,

"Let's go! I'll take you to take the assessment!"
