Chapter 067 The Origin of the Bug
"The Storm Lake Incident has caused quite a stir in the medical community. Many people have come to inquire about the poisonous insect and the antidote, fearing that they might be tricked... Tsk tsk, the guy who came up with this method to eliminate the banditry was really creative."
Irubek showed his weird eight-armed spider tentacles, looked at Ryan curiously, and muttered, "I've always wanted to find a living human insect target for research. If no one comes, I'm going to transplant living insects into myself..."
“…”
The more Ryan listened, the more chills he felt on his back.
He looked at the eight spider tentacles on the old man's back again and felt that since this guy could say that, he must really intend to do it.
He asked tentatively, "Doctor, can you solve this insect problem?"
Ryan had already decided in his heart that if this old guy uttered the word "no", he would immediately turn around and leave. He would never serve as a test sample for this guy.
Unexpectedly, the old man answered with great confidence.
"Of course! This is just a small problem for me."
Irubek smiled and said, "I have obtained samples of this insect before, but I lack data for studying living human hosts. This ancient strange insect is not that scary. On the contrary, it is a very magical mythical creature."
“…”
Ryan always felt that no matter what came out of this crazy guy's mouth, it tasted wrong.
Magical creatures? And with a hint of approval?
Haha, then you haven’t seen the horrific scene where it sucks the body fluids of tens of thousands of people in an instant.
However, the old man's words also made Ryan feel difficult to decide.
Obviously, this was the only chance he could think of to solve the insect infestation; on the other hand, this crazy doctor seemed too unreliable.
…
Ryan asked tentatively: "Do you know the origin of this insect?"
"The scientific name of this worm is Nematode. It is described in an ancient biology book of the 'Agus Civilization' at least 30,000 years ago."
Ilubek said, "It has a great origin. Legend has it that it evolved from the meridians in the body of a certain divine creature in the ancient mythological period. After the death of the divine beast, its body remained intact for thousands of years, and the blood vessels in its corpse evolved into an invertebrate creature that can survive independently... This is the origin of this worm."
"The meridians and blood vessels of the ancient mythical beast?"
Ryan felt that he had learned a lot.
Irubek nodded and continued, "This kind of bug has very strong vitality, but it cannot survive independently. It is a kind of 'parasite' and needs to absorb nutrients from the host to grow. Of course, because they were once blood vessels in the bodies of divine beasts, they have a big appetite. When they parasitize the bodies of organisms in the world today, they usually suck the host dry and die, and then fall into hibernation again."
After listening to the old man's well-reasoned words, Ryan finally believed that he could really solve the insect problem.
Although I feel a little scared, there seems to be no better choice.
He cleared his throat and asked, "Um... Dr. Irubek, if I ask you to help me solve the insect infestation in my body, what will I have to pay you?"
The vice president seemed to have said before that as long as you are willing to pay the price, this old man is willing to take action.
"remuneration?"
Irubek shook his head and said, "I haven't accepted patients for money for many years... Unless it's a case that interests me, I have no interest in seeing an emperor or a prince."
When Ryan heard that he didn't need to pay, instead of feeling relieved, he felt even more uncertain.
As we all know, there are the most free traps.
He had no intention of serving as a research specimen for this mad scientist in order to control the insect infestation.
"Then...how should I cooperate with your treatment? I have also brought the examination report from the 'Winster Hospital'. Would you like to see it?"
Ryan asked this question with trepidation.
"Medical report? No, what's the point of that? If those guys were capable of solving this problem, you wouldn't be here."
Irubek was very confident in his expertise. He pointed to the device that looked like a dental chair and said, "Go lie down there. I need to take some blood and body tissue samples for culture and observation."
“…”
Ryan's eyelids twitched.
He had already decided not to use any anesthesia, even local!
Otherwise, when you wake up, you might find that a part of your body is missing, or even more horrifyingly, you might have some extra parts that humans shouldn’t have!
After thinking about it, he felt more comfortable doing it himself, so he asked, "Um... may I ask what you need for the tissue sample? I mean... I'm a doctor's apprentice, so I can help you with this little favor."
"oh?"
Irubek raised his eyebrows. No wonder this kid was interested in medical books before.
He naturally understood Ryan's vigilance and said without caring, "Blood, hair, saliva, urine, excrement, a small piece of skin tissue, fat... Of course, if possible, I also need some deep muscle tissue..."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Ryan heard that it was just some routine sample collection, so he didn't hesitate and took out his scalpel and started working.
It is easy to collect foreign objects such as hair and saliva. They are quickly packed in sterile containers.
Then, in order to prevent "Dr. Spider" from doing the surgery, he began to cut the meat with one hand.
…
Collecting samples is something that any apprentice can do.
Irubek felt that he saved himself the effort by not having to do it himself.
But when he saw Ryan wielding the knife with one hand, his eyes suddenly stopped and he asked curiously, "Boy, are you a student from the Royal Academy?"
"No, it's not."
While cutting, Ryan responded: "I am just an ordinary apprentice who has just started."
"oh?"
Irubek was slightly surprised and said, "That's rare...Your basic skills are very solid. Even for an apprentice at the Omar Royal Medical College, your surgical skills are considered above average."
Generally speaking, without systematic learning, it is rare to have apprentices with such solid basic skills.
But that’s all.
This great figure in the medical field has trained countless talented students.
…
After the collection was completed, Irubek took the biological samples and began to analyze them.
Ryan thought that the old man would assign him to do something, but he never expected that the guy seemed to have completely forgotten about him after he immersed himself in his research.
Seeing that the other person was examining him so attentively, he didn't want to disturb him.
Then, Ryan just lay there bored for several hours.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, the old man ignored him at all.
Ryan then spoke and asked, "Um...Dr. Irubek, what are the results of your examination?"
This question startled the old man. He turned around and looked at the new person in the laboratory, and asked in surprise, "Hey... you haven't left yet?"
Then, after a pause, the guy seemed to suddenly remember, "Oh, I almost forgot, these samples were collected from you."
“…”
Ryan's expression froze in an instant.
This old guy really forgot about him...
