Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 787: Good News And Bad

The best Doctor of Elisium tried to find what problem could've been in the body of Lucifer as no wounds were visible.

After finishing all the scans and tests, the doctor returned to the two men who brought the young man out of the sea.

"Doctor, any update? You found what's wrong with him?"

"Well, I have good news and bad news. What do you want to hear first?" The doctor asked the middle-aged men, letting out a deep sigh.

"Tell us the good news first."

"The good news is that his body and his mind are perfectly fine. Initially, I thought that his mind was dead or he might be in a coma, but it's none of that. Moreover, I believe that the activity in his mind is slowly increasing," the Doctor explained.

"If it goes on like that, he might wake up soon."

"That's really great news. How soon can he wake up? Do you have any idea?"

"I am not sure. It might be a few days, or it might be a few weeks. But if everything goes on as it is now, I'd bet on it being a few days."

"That's incredible! But what's the bad news then?"

"The bad news... It is also about his mind. The speed at which his mind activity is increasing, he might wake up soon, but this speed can be really dangerous for him. It's like his mind is trying to recover all his memories from scratch."

"So if he wakes up, the memories might flood him all at once. If it can overwhelm his brain, he might break."

"He might break? What do you mean?"

"I mean, we're at a really critical stage. Everything will depend on how well he can absorb all his memories. If it goes well, he might be perfectly fine. However, if he can't take it, he might go crazy and start attacking everything he sees before him."

"Since he's Lucifer Azarel, we might need to be really careful. If he can't take the burden and his mind breaks, he might destroy us and the city. So I don't think all of us should be here."

"I would recommend that only one of you stay here. That way, if something goes wrong, the other can at least alert the Uprising."

Hearing the words of the Doctor, both the men looked at each other. Just as they thought everything was going to be fine, they were told that they might have created a killer?

'Why is it that the more we do for Lucifer, the more we find ourselves in danger. I don't even know this guy, and now I'll have to stay with him when he might kill me?'

The bald man looked at his friend, sighing. "I think you should stay here. I'll wait outside."

"Why should I stay here? You stay here; I'll contact Uprising if something goes wrong."

The second man didn't even take a second before rejecting the offer. He didn't care enough to stay behind. Moreover, it wasn't like they even had a way to contact Uprising since they didn't really work for them.

If anything went wrong, the other person was just going to run as far as they could. He didn't want to be the one to be left behind at that time.

None of them wanted to stay behind alone while the other left since leaving had no need.

After a lot of back and forth, both of them agreed to stay behind together.

"You two don't want to risk dying alone while the other survives, am I right?" The doctor asked, seeing the awkward moment where the people who were friends tried to pull the other person to die with them.

"I guess you can say that. If we die, we will die together. And if we can survive, we will survive together as well and get the spoils of our victory. I really hope that things won't be bad."

"Alright. If you two want to stay behind, I'll allow it. But you really should inform Uprising about this. Or at least leave a way for them to get a message if things go wrong."

"Ah, Doctor. Can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"Is there a way for you to... Like... I don't know, put him to sleep if his mind breaks?"

"You mean drug-induced sleep?" the doctor asked. "I thought about this, but no drug works on him. I tested on him already. The drugs are removed from his body within seconds, so it can't help."

"So we can only leave everything at the hands of gods at this point and pray that things will be fine."

"You all should go rest. I'll inform you when you're needed," the doctor said.

Beep~

Beep~

"Huh?" The doctor looked at his watch, sighing. "Now? How is it possible? Did the speed increase? This makes it even more dangerous!"

The doctor started running, commanding the two men behind him, "Come after me!"

The two men started running after him. "Doctor, what's happening?"

"Lucifer! He is gaining consciousness. His brain started waking up faster. I don't know why it happened, but we need to be there."

"He is walking up?"

The two men felt a bit scared at the thought of dying in the next few minutes. They even wondered if they should forget about the money and everything and just run away.

"We can do it! Everything will be alright. Nothing to worry about!" The bald man kept muttering, trying to give himself some courage.

They soon reached the special room where Lucifer was being kept. Placing his thumb on the sensor before the door, the doctor unlocked the room.

He pushed open the door and entered the room.

Lucifer laid on the bed. Multiple machines were connected to his body through wires that were scanning his vitals and his brain activity. The lines in all these scans were going crazy.

For a moment, the doctor even wondered if it was right. The heartbeat of Lucifer was above three hundred, which even surprised the doctor. Not only was the heartbeat so fast, but the machine was able to read this high heartbeat.

He ran to Lucifer and placed his fingers on the wrist of Lucifer. "Yeah, his heartbeat is really fast. And his brain... It's starting to wake up. We should be prepared for everything."

Lucifer's fingers moved a little, making the doctor release his hand. He had heard about Lucifer's decay. The last thing he wanted to do was fall a victim of Lucifer's unintentional Decay.

Freeing Lucifer's hands, he stepped back. "He is moving his hands.. It could be any second now."
