"I have the image," said the pregnant Transcendent as she reached out and handed over a color ultrasound image from behind the curtain.
Chen Yu: "..."
"Good." Chen Yu took the ultrasound image, unfolded it before his eyes, and observed it carefully, nodding occasionally, "Hmm... Not bad. Pretty good. The babies are all healthy."
"Chen... Professor Chen." A young female doctor couldn't help but raise her hand, "You're holding the image upside down."
Chen Yu: "..."
After turning the image right side up and looking at it for a while, Chen Yu continued nodding, "Healthy either way. Anyway, they're healthy."
"But... I can't make sense of this," the oldest female doctor approached, looking serious, "The key areas on the image are all blurred with mosaic."
Chen Yu: "The fetuses inside aren't wearing clothes, of course they need to be mosaicked."
All doctors: "???"
"The inside of a Transcendent is not something you can view," said the female Transcendent behind the curtain, her tone icy, "Aren't you all top ob-gyn doctors? Can't you deliver without the image?"
"Your body... ordinary people can't see, but a Transcendent can?" Chen Yu was surprised.
"Of course."
"That's great!" Chen Yu rubbed his hands excitedly, "I am a Transcendent, let me first check the intestines."
Behind the curtain: "..."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After a brief silence, the pregnant woman spoke seriously, "You are a Transcendent?"
"Yes," Chen Yu nodded, stirring up the special ability waves within him.
"I understand." Some white light shone from behind the curtain, seemingly as the pregnant woman pulled out her phone, "Even if you are a Transcendent, there's no need to look. Just give me prostaglandin to start the delivery."
The eldest female doctor couldn't resist speaking up, "Ma'am, if the ultrasound isn't clear, the risks are uncertain..."
"Ah, no need," Chen Yu waved his hand dismissively, "It's just giving birth to several kids. Just tug a bit and they'll all come out..."
All doctors: "..."
"Auntie, give her the prostaglandin," Chen Yu stepped back discreetly two positions, "Handle these trifles yourself, I'll step in when it's crucial."
"Well... okay," the older female doctor reluctantly nodded and picked up the cervix dilation medication prepared in advance in the delivery room.
With "Professor Chen" the Divine Doctor present, she was not too nervous.
Proceeding to inject the medication as scheduled.
"Wait a moment."
At this point, for some reason, the pregnant Transcendent behind the curtain suddenly had a change of heart and spoke up, interrupting, "Wait a moment."
"Ah?" The female doctor holding the syringe was taken aback.
"Wait for ten seconds."
Everyone was puzzled.
But Chen Yu understood, "She must have come to fart. Let's all wait a moment."
The pregnant woman behind the curtain: "..."
"Squeak—"
After ten seconds, the delivery room door was suddenly pushed open.
A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses strode in forcefully, his presence commanding as he said directly, "Who is the Transcendent."
All doctors looked towards Chen Yu in unison.
Chen Yu: "... I am. What's the matter? This is a delivery room, men please stop."
"I am her husband," the man in sunglasses said coldly.
"Oh!" Chen Yu suddenly realized and bowed immediately, "Lord Ning, good to see you."
He had learned that after he had caused a stir in Hecheng, the elderly man in Tang suit who had been stationed there was recalled back to the capital city.
Subsequently, a couple of Transcendents were sent to take charge of guarding and "investigating" tasks.
The man claiming to be the husband of the pregnant woman was naturally the other D-level Transcendent of Hecheng.
"Lord, are you here to observe the delivery process of your wife?"
"No," the man in sunglasses sized up Chen Yu for a moment and beckoned with his finger, "Come with me."
There was an almost imperceptible flash in his eyes.
Chen Yu keenly sensed the danger.
Actually, ever since he entered the City Lord's mansion, he felt that something was amiss.
Although he had never worked in a hospital nor had he ever assisted in childbirth.
But setting up such a high-standard delivery room just for childbirth was abnormal.
The crucial ultrasound, blurred with "mosaic," was abnormal.
The surgery room was empty, except for two "subordinates" still carrying weapons, which was even more abnormal.
Now that he knew he was also a Transcendent, they had actually stopped production...
This was tantamount to laying the word "insider" blatantly before his eyes.
"What are you staring at?" the man in sunglasses looked up, gazing down at Chen Yu, "Follow me."
"...Yes, sir. You lead the way."
Muscles tensed, mind on alert.
Chen Yu followed behind the man in sunglasses, cautiously stepping out of the delivery room.
"Sir." Two tall women outside the door immediately bowed in greeting.
The man in sunglasses ignored them, took Chen Yu directly out of the surgery room, closed the door, and locked it.
Only then did he turn to Chen Yu. "What's your name?"
"Chen Yu, sir."
"You, a Transcendent, also help with childbirth?"
"Ah... it's a hobby."
"It's my oversight. It wasn't clearly stated in the mission I issued," the man in sunglasses said expressionlessly, "You are a Transcendent. You don't need to do such inferior tasks as delivering babies."
'So, were you born in a donkey's barn?'
Chen Yu sneered inwardly, maintaining a smile on his face, "So, I don't need to assist in childbirth anymore?"
"Yes, but the reward for the task will not be diminished," the man in sunglasses nodded, "I've heard you're the best doctor among these. Just wait here in case my wife encounters a particularly difficult labor, then you can step in."
"Okay."
"One last thing," the man in sunglasses lowered his voice by Chen Yu's ear, "do not go in on your own initiative."
"...Okay."
"Clap clap."
Patting Chen Yu's shoulder, the man in sunglasses turned and left.
The man disappeared at the end of the corridor, and Chen Yu's smile instantly vanished.
...
Time.
Ticking away, second by second.
Chen Yu stood alone in the eerily quiet corridor, hands in his pockets, observing his surroundings.
The double doors of the surgery room, locked.
The windows in the corridor, barred up.
The floor, metallic.
In his memory, both the surgery room and the delivery room were completely sealed.
The more Chen Yu observed, the more this place resembled a prison...
"Ah — Ahhh!"
Suddenly, a scream broke through Chen Yu's thoughts. He immediately leaned against the door, listening intently.
'It's the voice of a pregnant woman.'
"Ah!!"
Another scream followed swiftly.
Chen Yu's expression shifted slightly.
From this scream, he detected a thick emotion of fear...
"Ah—"
The scream sharply ceased.
The surgery room returned to its deadly silence.
Instinctively, Chen Yu moved to push the door open, but the lock on it made him stop.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
He stood upright, glanced up at the surveillance camera hanging in the corner of the ceiling, and felt his heart sink.
No sound came from behind the double doors for the next while.
But the sharp sense of smell of a Transcendent, amidst the pungent smell of disinfectant, detected a hint of blood...
...
