Behind the iron nail, there was a red object that seed to be constantly erging.
What on earth was this thing?
At this mont, Lin Yi felt sothing was strange.
Moreover, looking at the state of his bones now, they should be fairly well developed and quite normal.
Judging by the situation, it seed likely that the injury wasn't too old; if it had been long-lasting, then the bones definitely wouldn't look like this.
At this point, the surrounding blood had begun to show blockage upon reaching here.
And when blood couldn't flow through, it was bound to start swelling the nearby muscle tissue, bringing toxins that couldn't be completely flushed out.
He noticed signs of healing in the man's muscle tissue, indicating that soone had tampered with the area.
Based on current observations, it seed probable that a surgery had been perford.
A spark of inspiration hit his mind.
Anyway, staying here was a waste of ti without any significance, and it seed that the tasks promised by his system were still unfulfilled.
The system required him to treat a total of five patients with bone conditions, and so far, he had found two.
If he could resolve this man's issue, that would make three.
Lin Yi was well aware that so things in life could not be forced.
If he were to forcefully search for these people, they might not cooperate; instead, finding them naturally through everyday life could provide a fortuitous opportunity.
So, he approached the man with a smile.
As soon as Lin Yi arrived, the man simply looked up at him.
The man seed wary of the sudden appearance of this stranger.
"What do you want?"
The mont the man opened his mouth, Lin Yi could tell imdiately that this was not a local.
The words the man uttered were very stiff, indicating he likely hadn't lived dostically for many years.
"Excuse , may I sit here?"
"It's inconvenient."
The old man's tone seed very firm.
This made Lin Yi feel as though he had just been turned away at the door, wondering what to do next.
He just smiled awkwardly. Should he just let it go?
That wasn't like him at all. If he were to give up, he wouldn't be Lin Yi.
"You don't need to be so guarded against ; I'm not here for anything. I'm also waiting, and if I'm not mistaken, you're here waiting for soone too, right? And whoever it is, they're not likely to arrive any ti soon."
After he finished speaking, the old man slowly put down the book he was holding.
"What do you an?"
"Since you arrived here, about 10 minutes have passed. During this ti, you've been holding a cup of coffee and your book hasn't left your hand, obviously killing ti."
"Heh, I didn't expect you to be so observant, but does that an I should trust you?"
"I'm not asking for your trust. I just happened to pass by and noticed so issues with you, so I wanted to discuss them."
"Issues? What issues do I have?"
"Unless I'm mistaken, your right knee had surgery about a month ago, didn't it?"
"Heh, even a fool could see that. I'm using crutches, so clearly there's so problem with my leg. However, about the surgery—oh, I get it, you figured I must have had surgery because of my limp?"
"No, your surgery was right here, and the incision was made in this spot if I'm not wrong."
He gestured on the inner side of his own leg.
Upon seeing this, the old man suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.
Because everything Lin Yi said was an accurate fact, and the man had never imagined that this stranger, without revealing anything, could understand the details of his injuries so thoroughly.
So who was this person, and how could he know all of this?
"Who are you, really? Have you been following before?"
"I haven't had the ti to follow you; today is my first visit here. And I'm also waiting for a friend who won't arrive until six in the evening, so I took the opportunity to observe your condition out of boredom."
"Alright, then tell , besides these, what else have you noticed?"
"Just below your knee, at this tendon and bone area, there must have been a steel nail driven in—no, not one but two—and next to it, a steel plate extends out. I believe I'm correct."
"How do you know this?"
"Also, I can infer that there's so edema around you, and surely you must feel a kind of pain or at least discomfort near the lower side of your knee, am I right?"
Lin Yi had rather accurately recounted the man's current condition in just a few sentences.
Every word matched exactly what was happening to him.
"Co, sit, let's talk while sitting."
The old man was genuinely intrigued by him.
A total stranger had an uncanny understanding of his physical condition as if he had scrutinized it closely.
The most crucial point was that his surgery hadn't been perford dostically, so even an investigation within the country wouldn't yield any information.
Seeing that the man finally believed him and allowed him to sit, Lin Yi knew they could continue their conversation.
"So, do you believe now?"
"I'm just very curious; these details aren't docunted anywhere in the country, and even if you had investigated, you couldn't have found out. Besides, I'm wearing pants, so you can't possibly see the condition inside, right?"
"You don't need to doubt that. I just want to ask if everything I just said was correct?"
