Plague Doctor

The night sky is dark, and the cruise ship is slowly driving on the boundless sea, scattered with hazy light.

In a luxurious suite on the high deck of the cruise ship, Gu Jun sat at the desk, frowned at the small medicine box on the table. It has been more than half a day since he got the box of medicine as a quest reward, but his doubts continue to increase.

This is a small square box, just like the packaging of ordinary cold medicine, but the text printed on it is neither Chinese nor English, and he can't identify the language at all.

The medicine box contained the only row of medicines, which was packaged in aluminum foil and had only 5 round white capsules.

There is no instruction manual, and that kind of text is printed on the aluminum foil.

"It seems to have some impressions..." Gu Jun thought at the beginning, "Is it the language of the script on the pinnacle rock? Or which language in the world?"

But now, he has searched the Internet all night, compared more than a dozen mainstream languages ​​and hundreds of other languages ​​in the world, and even checked those rare and small languages, none of them, not even one similar, as if this kind of Language is not a product of human thought.

Gu Jun vaguely felt that this did not belong to the words of the earth, but human beings have thousands of languages, and he can't say whether this feeling is right or wrong.

But brainstem tumor-targeted drugs? There are not many pharmaceutical companies on earth that can have this kind of pharmaceutical ability, only a few pharmaceutical giants.

If this is a medicine from the earth, the text on the medicine box should be in English, German or French...

In addition to this mysterious text, there is an identical pattern on the upper right corner of the front of both sides of the box. The size of the logo should be the trademark. This pattern looks like the profile of a sea creature:

The whale-like body, the dorsal and caudal fins are sharp serrated, but the pectoral and pelvic fins are all weirdly shaped.

Just like the words, he couldn't find out what kind of creature it was, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the pattern had an indescribable frenzy...

After thinking about it for a long time, his head felt a little painful. When Gu Jun looked at the clock again, he found that it was already zero o'clock.

Previously, the system said that the task list would be refreshed after midnight every day.

He watched the second hand of the clock move, and when it was past zero, he immediately opened the task list to see that it had been refreshed.

【Ordinary task: Use an intravenous infusion needle to stick a rubber tube tourniquet successfully 1000 times to practice your injection skills. Mission reward: 1 box of human brainstem tumor targeted drugs, the efficacy of which can prolong the lifespan of the host by five days

Difficult task: successfully diagnosed and treated 100 pediatric patients today. Quest reward: 1 Carop anatomical scissors

Abyss Mission: Complete the dissection of a ghoul within a week. Quest Reward: Unknown]

"Refreshing every day at 0:00, is this forcing me to stay up late, my liver can't move..."

Gu Jun watched inwardly, the abyss mission is still this one, it seems that although the list is refreshed every day, the abyss level will not be a new mission every time.

Difficult tasks are not available on cruise ships; common tasks are still simple, requiring only a scalp needle and a rubber tube tourniquet.

At the moment, Gu Jun called the cruise ship service desk and asked for these two things to be delivered. The reason was to practice acupuncture. Now that he is also the most distinguished guest, there is no problem with this small request. Soon, a waiter brought the things, and both of them gave a small box.

As soon as he got the things, Gu Jun accepted the ordinary task, and immediately began to practice at the desk.

The rubber tube tourniquet is the most common yellow hollow rubber band. When it is pierced with a needle, it will have the texture of puncturing the blood vessel. Therefore, tying the tourniquet is the first step for nurses to learn injections. Gu Jun has not received systematic nursing training, but he has given a lot of injections to experimental animals, and is no stranger to intravenous injection.

He took the scalp needle and carefully pierced the tourniquet at 30-40 degrees over and over again. I've tried it before, and it's not "successful".

After more than two hours, "10001000" was reached over and over again. He had already smashed a bunch of tourniquets, his right arm was sore and soft, and he suffered from overuse at night.

At this time, Gu Jun heard a ding dong in his mind again.

"Normal Mission - Mission Complete!"

"Your proficiency in the calm hand has increased, and the current level is the first level (15005000 proficiency)"

"The task reward has been issued: 1 box of human brainstem tumor targeted drugs, the efficacy of which can prolong the lifespan of the host by five days"

Once again, Gu Jun felt a sinking in his pocket, reached out and took a look, another box of medicine. A closer look at the two boxes shows that only the text in several places on the box is different, which should be numbers, batches, production dates and other information.

If he is a linguist, he may be able to see some clues, but he can only see some medical clues.

"It looks like temozolomide." Gu Jun took out two rows of ten white capsules in two boxes of medicine and looked at it repeatedly.

Temozolomide is the first-line targeted drug for brainstem tumors, but there are also many types of brainstem tumors. Temozolomide treats glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma. Unfortunately, he is suffering from medulloblastoma, and there is no targeted drug on the market...

The ingredients of these capsules are unknown, but they are obviously chemical drugs, small molecule drugs. In theory, oral use can pass through the blood-brain barrier and then have an effect on tumors. It looks fine.

The question is, is this really a "targeted drug for human brainstem tumors"?

The more Gu Jun thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Looking at the peaceful sea outside the balcony, he seemed to see stormy waves, and those indescribable delirium illusions were constantly churning on the sea. he

I saw a monster, that monster is breaking free from the cage of the abyss, it needs food, it needs fresh life...

"What if I was the food? What if the medicines were traps set by monsters? What if death wasn't the worst thing to do?"

This thought made Gu Jun's heart throb, he stood up, looked at the sea, and clenched the pill in his hand.

Demons will lure you with what you want most.

That pinnacle rock on the bottom of the sea, this mysterious power... Did my parents' research have anything to do with this?

Gu Jun paced a few steps. Although Tai Ran's hand is really effective, it doesn't mean that this box of medicine is also. Even if his life is short, he thinks that he needs to calm down in everything until he finds out the situation, because irrational decisions often lead to disasters.

This cautiousness about the unknown has overshadowed the excitement of regaining life before.

Moreover, as a medical dog, he can't do things directly by testing medicines...

Got it!

Gu Jun thought of a way to see if the two boxes of medicine are really effective.

He has to hurry up, his life expectancy is only 59 days, it's another damn countdown to the college entrance examination.

Love the plague doctor.
