The rescue efforts led by Lance were progressing smoothly, but it seemed that not everyone on the scene shared this sentiment.
Evelyn, the old doctor at the camp, the brave young man, and even Little Dark, all focused their eyes on Ethan after Lance suddenly muttered something unintelligible.
"This is part of the treatment process, it's a normal phenomenon."
Ethan had to explain to the newcomers who were dealing with Old Ba for the first time.
It's easy to understand, actually, similar to how many people under general anesthesia in modern medicine babble nonsensically as a normal physiological reaction.
"There are... tentacles emerging from his wound, is this also normal?"
Evelyn expressed her doubt, voicing the concerns of everyone present. The onlookers nodded repeatedly; while it seemed Lance was indeed alive, the way he survived was rather bizarre.
"This isn't a bad thing."
