Overturned Tower

Fortunately for Strangler, the prosthetic doctor who had just installed a prosthetic hand on himself did not leave the clinic... and he did master quite good medical skills.

He opened two intravenous channels for Xiaoya, one for blood transfusion and the other for infusion. Now her condition has improved visibly to the naked eye, at least she is no longer as endangered as before, and she has even regained consciousness.

But Strangler didn't just leave.

He felt from the bottom of his heart that communicating with others was too troublesome. Especially since he had just said the shameful words "Either die together or live together."

But he could realize very clearly that if he left like this, he would definitely regret it in the future.

So he stayed.

Think of it as a kind of insurance. Strangled convinced himself so.

So far, the prosthetic doctor has done nothing more than rescuing the person. Xiaoya had a large section of her tail cut off by a high-heat laser. Not only did it require amputation, her remaining small section of tail also needed to be removed.

Some residual heat from the laser still accumulates around the wound, which will continue to increase the body temperature. The surrounding skin will gradually become red, and the red marks will continue to spread. And those tissues that are burnt to the point of giving off a fragrant smell must also be removed - even for grilled fish, it is already overcooked. It is obviously impossible for this kind of tissue to be brought back to life, so all the necrotic flesh and blood needs to be removed. During this period, anti-infection treatment must be done, and the risk is continuous.

The surgery she needed was complex and difficult... The strangulation had to be watched.

If the doctor can't solve the problem, he needs to immediately send Xiaoya to other more regular hospitals - such as Ampoule Biomedical's branch in Yongquan Island.

Their medical skills are always the best on the island.

Because there cannot be doctors with better skills than the people at Ampoule Biomedical—if they really exist and cannot be recruited, then the people at Ampoule Group will also cut them off.

Of course he didn't know the Ampoule people and he didn't have the money. But after all, they came to Yongquan Island on behalf of the "godfather"... As agents dispatched by Tianen Group, they should be able to apply for some funds, go through some employee channels, etc.

——Strangler used this idea to convince himself to stay here.

However, just looking at Xiaoya lying on the operating table, being watched by her with a smile, watching her silently shedding tears of joy, Hangsu would feel something strange all over his body.

It's like wearing clothes that are not breathable enough after exercise...the heat cannot escape and the skin cannot breathe. I felt a little warm on my cheeks, all the way to the cheeks outside my ears, as if I had a low fever. But the bones and flesh didn't hurt at all, and the spirit was inexplicably excited...

It's like drinking very strong alcohol.

He had never felt this way.

...However, it doesn’t seem to be bad.

"Let's finish it for now."

The prosthetic doctor stopped what he was doing: "For now, the condition will not continue to deteriorate..."

"--temporary?"

Strangler looked over with a ferocious face.

He wasn't actually angry. But his face, just by frowning, looks as ferocious as if he wants to eat people.

However, the prosthetic doctor was obviously well-informed, and he replied calmly: "Yes, for the time being.

"Because the subsequent surgery is irreversible. Generally speaking, family members should be asked for their opinions, but Xiaoya does not have any family members.

"So I need to keep her conscious. And ask her for her own opinion in this situation."

The doctor looked at the mermaid whose tail was cut off and asked: "Xiaoya, in fact, it is difficult to save your tail.

"Even if you picked up the severed tail as soon as possible - the diameter and depth of the necrotic tissue is close to three centimeters. This means that six centimeters of flesh and blood must be removed from the top and bottom, and the remaining tail length will not exceed ten centimeters. .Also, I suspect that the spinal cord part of the coccyx may also be infected... From this perspective, more part of the coccyx needs to be removed.

"Now I give you three choices. One is to cut off all the tail from the root down, and then replace it all with a mechanical prosthesis. It can be a snake tail or a fish tail. It won't be much different from your previous action mode. Because If you need to rewire your nerves, it will be difficult to switch to another prosthetic body later, so think about it carefully.

"The second option is to move the resection site upward. I can only complete the first step of the operation, and then I need to transfer it to Ampoule Biomedical to create two legs for you. This level of surgery It is a spiritual modification surgery, which is considered a major surgery and carries a considerable risk of death... Of course, it can also be completely replaced with a mechanical prosthesis, which will reduce the risk a lot.

"The third option is to remove only the smallest part. You can still retain nearly ten centimeters of tail length, and then use a wheelchair or an exoskeleton to walk. There is no additional surgery, no risks, and the lowest cost. . After that, you can switch to the first or second type at any time, but you still have to do it as soon as possible. It is best to perform the surgery within three months."

After listening to the prosthetic doctor's words, Xiaoya subconsciously looked at Strangler.

"Mr. Mahavir..."

She asked quietly: "How would you like me to choose?"

"It's up to you."

Hangzhou was silent for a while and then said seriously: "You have to be your own master. I can't make decisions for you."

But I just hope you can make the decision for me...

Xiaoya bit her lip.

She was a little disappointed that Strangler didn't give a direct answer.

But she still gathered some courage and turned to ask the doctor: "If I want to accept the second possibility...how much will it cost? What is the risk of death?"

"It's the same problem."

The prosthetic doctor still wore his mask, taking a long breath and replied calmly: "The more money you give, the lower the risk."

"...What if it's my deposit?"

"It's a pity, Xiaoya. Without considering the loan, it may not even be enough for the package with the lowest success rate. But if it is a fish tail prosthetic body, it is probably just enough; if it is a snake tail prosthetic body, it is still not enough. There’s half left.”

The prosthetic doctor replied absently: "After all, it is my inventory here. I can sell it to you at the purchase price, and the operation fee will not be charged. If you go elsewhere, you will probably only be able to buy a snake tail. And I promise , the quality will not be as good as what I have here - it may even be second-hand refurbished goods, or even black prosthetics made by dead people. I can guarantee that the ones I have here are absolutely original."

"Then let's go with the third option."

Xiaoya was silent for a while and replied firmly.

The doctor was a little surprised, stopped what he was doing, and turned around.

He thought for a moment and pulled down his mask. His dull voice became clear as a result.

"Can I ask what you think?"

"I want...a pair of human legs."

Xiaoya glanced at Strangler again and said softly: "A pair of... beautiful enough legs."

"...Oh. That's right. Speaking of which, it's not like I haven't heard similar requests at all."

The prosthetic doctor sighed and put on the mask again: "Then I'll cut off your tail first.

"Do you want to eat some cake first? After the operation, you may not be able to eat for a few days. And you will not have the appetite for cake for a long time afterward."

He said, looking at the somewhat broken cake on the table.

That was what Zhuo Sha ran to the cake shop to get back when he was getting anxious and uncomfortable from waiting.

The owner of the cake shop had already burped his ass, so it was logical that he strangled without paying. But this was originally the cake Xiaoya ordered, and she might have already paid for it. This is what belongs to them.

"...Can I eat cake before the operation?" Strangler confirmed.

"The cream part is not good, but I can eat some cake and strawberries. She must be hungry too."

The doctor sighed: "But you still have to eat less. I will pay special attention not to use drugs that slow down gastric motility.

"After all, if I say I can't eat it at all...then the child will be very sad, right? She has been waiting for a long time. She has wanted to eat the strawberry cake from this store a long time ago.

"And didn't you say that the owner of that shop is dead? There will never be cakes with such a taste in the future.

"I'm not a very competent doctor...but rather a deviant one. Compared to the teachings of 'doing good for the patient's health', I am the type who is more easily persuaded. After all, for many people, health is not the first priority. One. There are some things more important than health...more worthy of attention.

"Moreover, I think having someone to eat cake with her will make her feel better. If she feels better, it will also help her recovery. A healthy and happy heart is the best medicine."

Hearing this, Hangzhou's pupils shrank slightly. Then it returned to its original state again.

Strangler was a little distracted for a moment.

…It’s not just Xiaoya. he thought.

He also waited a long time.

I have been waiting for more than ten years...or, in other words, twenty-eight years.

This was the first time in his life that someone was willing to sit down and eat cake with him.

"——Yo, Nobita."

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open by someone: "Do you mind sharing your cake with someone else?"

There was no sound of strangulation before this, so he subconsciously tensed up his body and his pupils lit up with a golden glow.

But almost the next moment, he recognized the owner of that lazy and indifferent voice.

"...You inferior, what did you do just now?"

Hangzhou said coldly, but his frown subconsciously relaxed slightly.

Although the relationship with this man is not good...but I have to say that he is a reliable bastard who is trustworthy and worthy of his back.

If there was no inferior person, I'm afraid he would be dead. His mana will always run out, his mind will always be tired, but those drones are endless.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but if he continues to resist, the increasing power of the explosion may spread to the clinic and injure Xiaoya, who was just saved by him.

——It's not that she can't be hurt or anything, or that he cares about that girl. It's just that he just sacrificed his life to save her. If he gets injured, dies, or blows up the doctor so that he can't get timely treatment, wouldn't his death be in vain?

It's not about how important she is to him, it's just that he doesn't want the value of his life to become meaningless because of it.

Because of this, I am very grateful to the inferior in my heart.

But he soon discovered that the bad guy did not close the door after opening it, but continued to move forward.

The next person who walked in was a person who looked familiar to Zhuo Sha...but not too familiar.

Those were the couple who were the ministers of the Special Execution Department - Ultramarine and Delphinium.

The most senior executive officer of [Qing] and [Cui], and also the senior executive of Fuji Society.

Ultramarine's other identity is the barber's most trustworthy friend... He is also one of the two founders of the Fuji Society, an important figure who holds equal shares and is the first shareholder. Without Ultramarine, Fuji Society would never have been so easily washed away. It was impossible for him to walk openly and openly in the upper city of Happy Island.

but……

Why are they on Yongquan Island?

According to what was said before, didn’t they go to Sogo Island?

So he bowed respectfully to the two of them: "Mr. Ultramarine, Ms. Delphinium."

"You have to thank me, Mahavira."

The bad guy shrugged and opened the cake, minding his own business: "I'm going to get sponsorship for you.

"With the two of them here, any level of surgery and any amount of money can be afforded."

"Indeed."

Russell looked at Miss Mermaid lying on the bed and gave her a gentle and pitiful smile: "If necessary, I can also replace her prosthetic body myself. I added the tail to the delphinium as a nerve connection. At that time, it only took half an hour to solve it.”

Strangler just frowned - because of Russell's age, he looked too unreliable. In his opinion, the best prosthetic doctor must be at least forty or fifty years old.

If you are too young, you will suspect that you lack experience and skills; but if you are too old, it will not work. If you are too old, your hands may be shaky and you may not have enough energy.

However, the prosthetic doctor looked at Russell in surprise.

"...Are you, Mr. Russell?"

He wiped his hands on his clothes and extended his hand to Russell sincerely: "Xiaosheng has heard of your name - my code name is 'Zymogen'! 'Aoi Lily' is a wonderful invention! If you don't want to take up more time, In the case of multiple nerve sources, the number of interfaces processed simultaneously is doubled!”

"That's the result of my mentor and I..."

Russell said modestly.

"No, no, no, Xiaosheng knows that Ms. Sally Ruth is just in name only! Her research direction is not to improve neural efficiency and security. Her research direction is mainly focused on network security. Prosthetics are just her interest... …She prefers to study groundbreaking, irreplaceable special prosthetics.

"As for 'Kui Lily', one of the first batch of models of the 'Astrologer Agreement', its thinking is obviously geared towards the market - or towards users. Xiaosheng can feel that it is called 'Order' Beauty! Beauty that can only be discovered by researchers at Sogo University! Whether it is hot-swappable switching of the same part or cross-type prostheses, or the integration of plug-ins, and the most critical reduction of mental loss... At present, 'Aoi Lily' Eight months after it was put into production, the number of cyberpsychosis cases caused by the installation of 'Aoi Lily' was zero! This means that its wear and tear is lower than that of any prosthetic hand, and it can even reduce mental stress for users who are already at the critical edge of their mental state - —”

The prosthetic doctor code-named "Zymogen" held Russell's hand with both hands and kept talking. His eyes lit up.

Russell coughed lightly: "That's not a big deal. It looks like a miracle, but in fact it's just that the patient has installed a bunch of conflicting protocols and plug-ins. Those conflicting parts are the most likely to cause mental stress. Astrologer Protocol All that can be done is to tidy up the 'consciousness desktop', block out what is unnecessary, and integrate what is needed into one's own framework."

"This is already amazing, Mr. Russell... I'm sorry, I mean - if Xiaoya can be left to you, it will definitely be fine! Where do you work now?"

"You don't have to leave it to me yet."

Russell said with a smile: "After all, I really don't know how to perform spiritual modification surgery. Eliminating spiritual characteristics and adding spiritual characteristics are essentially the same. They are high-precision biotechnology, and they still have to be handed over to Ampoule Biomedical. professional.

"As for where I work..."

"——This gentleman's code name is 'Ultraline'," Hangzhou said suddenly, "He is one of the two founders of the Fuji Society."

"...That's it, that's it!"

Enzyme slapped his palm, as if he had some realization: "When I asked why they pulled me, I would say, 'You can meet your idol in the future' - Mr. Russell, you are my idol! Xiaosheng created it just for you. I was impressed by the beauty of the concept, so I switched jobs from Ampoule Group to Fuji Society!

"Excuse me, do you have any business coming to Yongquan Island? Xiaosheng can introduce you to many people——"

"Ah, I came to see Mr. Strangler fall in love."

Russell said with a smile: "Let's see what kind of person Mr. Mahavira's first love is. Then come and reimburse the medical expenses for my men..."

Likewise, they are also here to eliminate tragedies and fulfill wishes.

If you can't even bring happiness to the people around you, how can you bring hope to the world?

"If you really want a pair of legs, Xiaoya, I will find the best doctor for you.

"——Then, can you share some of your favorite cake with us uninvited guests?"
