Chapter 8: The Wounded Wolf (time skip siracusa)
"Hoo…Hoo…"
"It hurts, I'm so hungry..."
In the quiet alley, Lupo, wearing a red windbreaker, was walking with heavy steps.
He held the wall with one hand and covered his stomach with the other. The wounds on his body continued to bleed, staining his originally bright red coat dark red.
Her eyes were confused and the waves of pain coming from her head made it impossible for her to concentrate.
I'm so hungry, but I can't go eat, or I'll be caught up.
She was so tired, so cold, and her body felt so heavy. She needed to rest.
My head seems to be getting more and more dizzy.
Finally, Lupo's eyes caught sight of a trash can at the end of the alley. The stench from it made her nose uncomfortable, but perhaps she could rest safely there.
Girl Lupo walked up to the trash can, opened it, and rolled over to get in. It was so warm here that she wanted to take a nap.
"Woo~~"
Reinette got up from the bed, her tail swinging behind her, almost turning the quilt into a knot.
"Tsk…"
Reinette struggled to pull her tail out of the quilt that was rolled up into a twist, then took a look and thought, luckily the pillow didn't have a hole poked by the horn on her head.
Compared to before, Reinette has now completely transformed into a oceanid, but the state of her body is becoming increasingly difficult to control.
Every time she sleeps, her disguise disappears, revealing her tail and horns again.
"This isn't right. Logically speaking, after the transformation is complete, shouldn't the skills of this race be more proficient? Why is it regressing?"
Reinette silently made the bed and sat on it. Her tail gradually turned into a stream of water and disappeared into her body. The horns on her head also turned into a ball of water and turned into two blue feathers.
Sitting on the bed, Reinette opened the panel.

She has been a free messenger for almost half a year. Although she has been delivering letters during this period, it does not mean that she has forgotten her identity as a doctor.
She chose to turn her small truck into a mobile clinic. She was not in a hurry to pay the medical fees for the time being, as she still had plenty of money after spending the money on buying a car last time.
Therefore, Reinette chose to focus on the infected people and mercenaries who were not accepted by regular hospitals.
At first, Reinette was not trusted and her car was almost smashed, but fortunately, the quality of Thor Industries' cars was top-notch.
Gradually, with her little bit of effort and as more mercenaries and infected people were cured, walked down or were carried down from her car.
Gradually, the title of Tiamat
flowed out of their words, spread among them, and even spread to other areas through their activities.
A Liberian medical courier with blue feathers, driving a Thor Industries car, is willing to treat the infected and mercenaries at a very low cost.
It is worth mentioning that although he has been practicing medicine for half a year, he has not obtained many medical points. It is estimated that the 20,000 credit points he received at the beginning were also partly due to the compensation factor.
Another thing made Reinette feel uneasy. It was not a bad thing, but it was a bit outrageous.
After the code name Tiamat gradually spread, Reinette was treated with courtesy when she returned the car to a mobile city called Thor Industries during a vehicle maintenance operation.
Not only do they replenish medical supplies for free, they also provide free vehicle warranty. Well, after the warranty period, there is a huge Thor Industries logo on the car body.
Following Reinette's advice, a blue cross was added next to the Thor Industries logo, with a blue bird standing on the cross, holding a branch in its mouth.
One of them was pulled into the conference room by the senior management for a detailed discussion. Reinette originally thought that it was Thor Industries who accepted Reinette as their employee, but it turned out not to be the case.
The senior executive's speech was very reserved. During the conversation, he even went out for a while and handed her a bank card when he came back.
I heard from him that this card contains the advertising fees that Reinette has paid for their Thor Industries in the past few months.
Reinette raised her eyebrows. Although she was a little confused, she accepted it. After all, she would be living off her savings. If Thor Industries was willing to pay, she wouldn't mind.
But when Reinette arrived at the bank and saw the string of zeros following the number in her bank account, she instantly became uneasy.
(T/n: my lady is rich)
Is this advertising money? In Reinette's opinion, this is already life-saving money, and it is hard to say whether Reinette herself is worth so much money.
So Reinette returned to Thor Industries like a thief and found the senior executive again, but the senior executive refused to take back the bank card.
He and several other employees pushed Reinette out of the door of Thor Industries.
At that time, Reinette was standing at the gate of Thor Industries, looking inside as if she was guarding against thieves,
guarding against her several employees and the senior executives who were sitting in the hall and watching her.
Reinette looked down at the bank card in her hand, then looked up at the employees at the door with determined attitudes. She had no choice but to leave. She solemnly took a box, put the card away, and put it in her windbreaker.
Although Reinette thought at first that Thor Industries treated her as a mobile advertisement, but after seeing the string of zeros, she felt really uneasy holding the bank card.
But they had already taken all the benefits and were not allowed to give them back. Anyway, they couldn't figure it out, so Reinette didn't delve into it any further. Anyway, Thor Industries felt that it was not a loss, so they let it be.
"There's quite a bit of garbage here, let's throw it away." Reinette took the garbage bag out of the trash can and went downstairs.
"It's almost time to rest. It's time to consider taking on the next order. I really don't like the environment in Siracusa. There are too many gangs."
Reinette originally wanted to continue her medical activities here, but no gang bought into her place. She was almost forced to beat them all and treat them.
In the end, Reinette showed them some force and both sides took a step back. Then, Reinette promised them that she would not conduct medical activities to disrupt the order of the gang, and they would not disturb Reinette's life in this city again.
"What a weird mafia system. Never mind. I'm ready to leave anyway. I definitely don't want to come to a place like this again."
Reinette walked downstairs carrying the garbage and approached the trash can in the alley. As soon as she opened it, she frowned because of the smell inside.
"Hmm?" Reinette frowned, not because of the stench of the garbage, but because of the faint smell of blood mixed in the stench of the garbage.
"It's not the gang again, right? That's not right. After I drowned them, didn't they say they would not bother me?"
Thinking of this, Reinette glanced at the open trash can. Since it was opened anyway, she had to throw away the trash in her hands first.
"red?"
(T/n: project red)
When Reinette saw what was inside clearly, there was indeed a seriously injured Lupo, wearing a loose red coat with a plush hood that was not suitable for the season.
Under the gray wolf ears that appeared from the hood was a face covered in blood.
"Why are you here..."
The unconscious Wolf girl naturally did not respond to Reinette's question.
"There is a lot of bleeding and a serious head injury. In this environment, there is a high probability of infection. It must be treated immediately."
Without time to think, Reinette followed her instinct as a doctor, gently pulled up the unconscious wolf cub with water, wrapped it in red, and left bubbles in it for breathing.
Returning to the building where she lived, Reinette opened the garage, quickly got into the car, opened the medical room, and placed the unconscious wolf cub on the operating table.
After disinfecting her hands and putting on a white coat, Reinette took a deep breath and looked at the wolf cub lying on the hospital bed.
"The treatment begins."

"Phew, this morning is really exciting."
Reinette breathed a sigh of relief and washed the blood off her hands. She hadn't even had breakfast yet.
"According to the original plot, it should be Kal'tsit who treated Red. Does that mean Kal'tsit is in Siracusa right now?"
Reinette locked the car and the garage again, bought some breakfast, and thought about it on the way.
"No, it's hard to say. She's here. Although red's injuries are serious, according to my inference, she should be able to wake up on her own by tomorrow night at the latest."
According to Reinette's inference, although red's injuries were serious, her vital signs remained stable and she could wake up on her own.
After waking up, he should have some mobility. It is hard to tell. Kal'tsit is in this city.
"But it's something to look forward to."
Reinette still wanted to see the old woman very much, but she didn't want to take the initiative to find her. She hated trouble and hated the Riddler even more.
"With such a serious injury, I guess someone is chasing red. Let's go early. I don't want to stay here anyway."
After buying breakfast, Reinette went to the Messenger Association here.
And in the alley.
A group of people in black robes quietly appeared in the narrow alley.
"The smell of the wolf hunter is here..."
"But it's very light..."
"Find her."
One of the men in black robes stepped forward and opened the trash can in front of him that had a relatively strong smell, but there was nothing inside.
"The taste ends here."
"She shouldn't have the energy to clean up."
"Someone rescued her."
"Her injuries are serious and she needs a doctor."
The three men in black robes looked at each other and then left the alley separately.
————The Courier Association————
"Hello, Miss Tiamat, are you here to take a commission today?"
As soon as Reinette entered the association, a receptionist came up to greet her, who seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.
Reinette looked at the receptionist in front of her: "It seems that you are waiting for me."
"Yes, Miss Tiamat, we have a commission, please follow me."
Since there was a commission delivered to her door, Reinette just followed it. As for whether it was a redmen Banquet, they had already held it once, so it would be impossible to hold it again this time.
Under the guidance of the receptionist, Reinette came to a reception room at the back.
"I say, even though it's daytime now, this room is so dim, why don't you turn on the lights?"
As he was speaking, Reinette saw that it should be the seat prepared for him. The receptionist following behind her helped Reinette pull out the chair.
Reinette sat down and faced the person sitting in front of her with a smile.
"What about the others? Are they not looking for me, or is it just you?"
"It's just me. No one else will try to find you. You made us miserable last time."
(T/n: seems she beating them all)
"But if I don't resist, I don't know who the Banquet was set for."
"I understand, so let's get to the point, Ms. Tiamat." The man put out the lit cigar in his hand.
"So what is it? It doesn't sound nice at all, but I'm just a messenger, responsible for delivering letters. I'm also just a doctor. I'm afraid I can't do what you want to do."
"I know, so I just delivered the letter."
The person next to her placed a black and gold-embossed letter next to Reinette's hand, but Reinette just glanced at it and didn't reach out for it.
"This matter is very hot, I don't want to get involved in your gang's affairs."
"I assure you, Miss Tiamat, you are only a messenger in this matter."
But the man saw Reinette stand up, turn around and walk out, and waved to him with his back to her.
"No need for a promise. This matter is too hot to handle. You have a lot of talented mafia under you. I'm so expensive. Let's cooperate again when we have time~"
After saying that, Reinette waved her hand and left the reception room, but she did not go to the counter to pick up the package. Instead, she left the Messenger Association directly.
