Chapter 332
"The methodology," Isaac muttered rapidly. "He sews the veins with black silk. He uses pressure points. He uses pure Earth Qi without chanting. These are lost arts. The ancient texts in the deepest vaults of the Guild describe these techniques. We thought they were myths. We thought they were impossible fairy tales!"Isaac stopped pacing. He looked up at the dark ceiling of the furnace."He is the Ghost Doctor," Isaac said. He finally understood the name. It was not just a scary nickname invented by the scavengers. "He is literally a ghost from the past. He wanders the world. He does not age. His magic does not fade. He has been doing this for decades, maybe centuries."Doctor Vance fell to his knees. "An immortal? Auditor Isaac, if he is an ancient entity... we cannot fight him. The Guild cannot control a god.""Do not use that word!" Isaac snapped angrily. He glared at Vance. "He is not a god. He is a machine of flesh and magic. He bleeds. I saw his blood. He has a weakness."Isaac

"A memorial," Doctor Vance said softly. He felt a strange, sad tightness in his chest. "He carved a name for a dead patient."Isaac did not feel sad. Isaac felt offended. "Sentimentality," Isaac sneered. "He gets emotionally attached to the broken tools. That is a terrible weakness for a doctor."But Isaac did not stop looking at the wall. He moved away from the carved lotus. He walked toward the entrance of the furnace. He shined his light on the thick metal frame of the giant door.He remembered the reports from his spies. The sick scavengers had talked about a hidden heartbeat. They talked about a magical pulse that called to them in the dark."If he broadcasted a signal, there must be a transmitter," Isaac whispered to himself.He scanned the dark metal. It looked completely smooth. It looked covered in normal, everyday rust.Isaac reached into his white suit pocket. He pulled out a small, round piece of glass. It was not a normal magnifying glass. It was a Guild Spectrometer. It
Chapter 330
The sky over the City of Iron was broken. The heavy, dark clouds of yellow smog were torn apart. A giant hole opened up in the sky. This was because Sector Four was completely gone. The massive, heavy metal roof that used to cover the junkyard had fallen. Millions of tons of solid black iron had crashed into the earth.Everything was crushed. The scrap towers were flat. The dirty tents were buried.A thick, dark gray dust covered the world. It looked like dirty snow. It fell softly, coating the broken metal and the dark mud.High above the ruined junkyard, a sleek, flying ship hovered in the air.The ship was painted perfectly white. It had no rust. It had no dirt. It was silent.Inside the flying ship, Auditor Isaac stood by a large glass window. He wore his spotless white suit. His dark hair was perfect. His thin silver glasses caught the light. He looked down at the massive, dusty crater."Bring the ship down," Isaac ordered smoothly. His voice was calm, but it held absolute autho

Bright, hot, pulsing red blood was shooting out of the wound like a fountain. It sprayed into the air with every single beat of his heart. Spurt. Spurt. Spurt."Oh gods," Brin gasped, dropping her pipe."The femoral artery," Rick choked out. His face instantly turned paper-white. His eyes widened in pure, helpless terror.He was bleeding to death."I have to stop it!" Luna panicked. She pressed her single hand down on the wound, trying to block the hole. But the blood pressure was too strong. It pushed her hand away. The blood sprayed over her fingers. "I only have one hand! I can't hold it and tie a bandage!"Rick looked up at the ceiling. The blue light seemed to be fading. He felt incredibly cold. "I am dying," Rick whispered softly.He had faced giant robots. He had faced falling roofs. He had faced magical plagues. And he had survived. But now, he was dying from a simple, physical animal bite. He had no magic left to save himself."Brin!" Luna screamed, tears flying from her eyes
Chapter 328
The tough woman, the teenage boy, and the blind machinist knelt in the dirt in front of him."The city is hunting us," Rick said softly. "There are monsters in the dark. There is toxic gas above us. My magic is gone. If I fall asleep, and I do not wake up... you will be alone.""Do not say that," Brin said. Her rough voice cracked. "You are our leader.""I am not a leader," Rick said firmly. "I am a teacher. And it is time for the final lesson."Rick reached out his cold, shaking hands."I have spent my whole life trying to heal the wound of the world," Rick said. "But the world is too big for one pair of hands. Magic is a beautiful thing. But magic runs out. Flesh breaks. Bones snap. The only thing that survives is knowledge."Rick looked deeply into Brin's eyes. Then he looked at Jace. Then he looked at Forge."I am going to teach you," Rick declared. "I am going to teach you the true secrets of the human body. I am going to teach you how to save a life with nothing but your bare ha
Chapter 327
The giant monster roared. It was the loudest sound Rick had ever heard. It sounded like thick metal tearing in half. The sound bounced off the dark stone walls of the underground cavern.Rick stood on the edge of the black river. He held his wooden staff. The small green light at the tip of his staff shined across the water. It lit up the monster’s terrible face.The monster was as tall as a building. It had thick, pale, rotting skin. Heavy, rusted iron chains hung from its massive neck. Its two giant eyes glowed with a sick, toxic purple light.The monster looked at the green light on Rick’s staff. It raised a giant, clawed hand. It prepared to smash the bridge and crush the fifty people standing behind Rick."Rick!" Luna screamed. "Your magic! It sees the light!"Rick realized his mistake. The monster lived in the absolute dark. It hunted by following magical energy. Rick’s green light was like a bright signal fire shouting, We are here!Rick instantly shut his eyes. He pulled his g
