Chapter 146: Red Scales [Second Update]
Once he starts treating a patient, Ruan Xi will naturally enter a state of ecstasy. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Ruan Xi to treat and teach at the same time, and answer questions for onlookers at the same time.
The doctors, pharmacists, and researchers gathered around him, filled with questions from the moment Ruan Xi administered the first injection, yet they dared not voice them. Forget talking, even breathing too loudly would disturb Ruan Xi's treatment. If possible, they would have stopped breathing and created an absolutely silent environment.
But obviously, an absolutely safe environment is absolutely impossible to appear in this room.
"Ugh...ah..." Qi Yuhan's suppressed moans never stopped from the moment the first needle was inserted. He lay there sweating profusely, his face pale, and his lips were bitten until they were bleeding, but he never moved at all.
In reality, it wasn't that Qi Yuhan didn't want to move, nor was it that he truly possessed such strong control. After all, the excruciating pain emanating from his bones was unbearable for a human being. He couldn't move! Ever since the first injection, Qi Yuhan had felt his body gradually becoming heavier, and he was losing control of it. As the pain intensified, his inability to move became more severe. In the end, he could do nothing but let out a few small cries of pain.
Originally, he really treated this treatment with a normal attitude. The worst result was just another failure. In addition, Ruan Xi's age and appearance made it impossible for him to feel awe. He only had respect for the doctor.
At this moment, he was in awe of this young doctor from the bottom of his heart. This medical skill was too terrible. It hurt so much that his soul seemed to be torn apart. It was impossible to describe it in words.
When the pain was so severe that his consciousness was almost blurred, a sudden flash of inspiration came to Qi Yuhan's mind, making his thinking instantly clear and even bright.
"Doctor Ruan... Doctor Ruan... My legs... I can feel pain..." Doesn't this feeling of pain mean that the sensation in his legs is recovering, or even has already recovered?
"Your reflex arc is so long that you only realized it when I had already inserted half of the needle?" Ruan Xi looked up and smiled at Qi Yuhan, with a hint of sarcasm, but not at all a joke.
"I... I..." Qi Yuhan's eyes turned red with excitement. He was always calm and composed, but at this moment he could not control his emotions at all. Tears burst out of his eyes and he cried silently.
Looking at Qi Yuhan like this, Ruan Xi just smiled lightly, without a trace of pity in her eyes, only seriousness and encouragement, "Pain is a good thing. Only when you are alive can you feel pain. This proves that your leg is indeed not dead."
The use of the word "dead" highlights the "aliveness" of Qi Yuhan's legs at the moment. Comparing the two, it is obvious which one is more valuable.
The crowd of onlookers were continuously shocked by Ruan Xi's words and actions. They were unable to utter a word. They only felt that their hearts were beating more vigorously than usual, as if they were about to jump out of their chests. They were full of energy and even ambition.
However, apart from a brief exchange with Qi Yuhan, Ruan Xi ignored anyone else. Director Luo was also completely out of his sight at the moment. Soon, the silver needles were applied, and Qi Yuhan was almost pricked into a hedgehog. The pain from his bones made him tremble uncontrollably even though his body could not move. The moans in his mouth continued, which made the onlookers feel a little bit unbearable.
But Ruan Xi, the attending physician, remained indifferent from beginning to end, and even smiled at Qi Yuhan's face which was almost distorted with pain.
Such a strong mind and will are simply shocking, making Director Luo want to fire cannons to celebrate. It is definitely a great blessing for mankind to have a good doctor like Ruan Xi.
The silver needles need to remain in the acupuncture points for a period of time, and the retention time of the silver needles in each acupuncture point is different. Therefore, Ruan Xi basically never stopped moving, inserting the needles, rotating the needles, withdrawing the needles, and even inserting the needles a second time. Even though it is not a strenuous physical work, it still makes people very tired. The sweat on Ruan Xi's forehead never disappears. Director Luo stays by his side and wipes the sweat off his forehead himself, but Ruan Xi doesn't even look at him from beginning to end.
This isn't disrespectful, it's focused.
Three hours passed, and finally, Ruan Xi pulled out the last silver needle. The pain that had been lingering for a long time suddenly disappeared, which made Qi Yuhan unable to react at all for a while. He was stunned and gasping for breath.
After removing the needles, Ruan Xi gave Qi Yuhan a full body massage using a special massage technique. The force was so strong that everyone could hear the bones cracking. However, the pain of pinching the bones at this moment was far less than the pain from acupuncture before. Qi Yuhan was not afraid at all and even felt very comfortable. The expression on his face that was distorted to an almost fixed state finally gradually relaxed and returned to his previous gentleness and elegance.
"Okay." After finishing the massage, Ruan Xi stopped and ended the treatment with these two simple and clear words.
"Treatment is once every seven days, and five treatments will suffice for complete recovery. However, recovery doesn't mean the end of treatment. You'll need one to three more sessions of rehabilitation. I'll adjust the plan based on your recovery until you're fully recovered. During this period, no movement of any kind is allowed. All strenuous tasks must be performed by someone close to you, as this will affect your bone recovery. Additionally, you're not allowed to take any medications without my permission, as they may adversely affect your health and interfere with your treatment. If you truly need any, please come directly to me."
Hearing this, Qi Yuhan could no longer suppress the excitement and joy in his heart. He tried hard to calm himself down before speaking again. His voice sounded a little hoarse and choked with sobs.
"Can I really... fully recover?" Before today, his greatest hope was just to be able to walk normally. He didn't even dare to think about being able to run, jump, or even do strenuous exercise.
But now, he dared to think. Ruan Xi gave him endless hope and endless courage.
"Mr. Qi, you shouldn't be so conservative. You are using a gene activation drug. While treating your genetic disease, it can also stimulate the improvement of your genes, thereby stimulating your evolution. Once your body begins to evolve, everything is possible." Ruan Xi was worried about Chi Lin and He Ziqian. After patting Qi Yuhan's shoulder soothingly, he hurried away.
He believed that in order to regain his health, Qi Yuhan would follow the doctor's orders to the end, no matter how stringent they were.
Everyone was still immersed in shock and forgot to stop Ruan Xi. By the time they reacted, Ruan Xi had already disappeared.
Ruan Xi knew that He Ziqian had a dedicated mecha repair studio. He Ziqian had taken him there once. After coming out of the research center, he went straight there and found He Ziqian and Chi Lin.
"how's it going?"
Looking at the tall and handsome red mecha, Ruan Xi's eyes flashed with star-like light. At this moment, it was obvious that his interest in Chi Lin was above everything else, and medicine was temporarily put aside by him.
"There's no new progress. I can find the area that might be problematic, but I can't draw any further conclusions. Furthermore, that area hasn't changed at all, without even a fraction of an error. I'm pretty sure that's where the problem lies."
He Ziqian clearly showed signs of mental exhaustion, so Ruan Xi quickly pulled him aside to sit down and rest, then stuffed a golden sun fruit into his mouth.
"You take a break, I'll try. My ability is of the wood element, which represents vitality. I can definitely peel off that layer of disguise."
Ruan Xi's words shocked He Ziqian for a moment, but then he chuckled and said, "We really think of the same thing, don't we?"
"An alien race, or, more precisely, a parasite. I suspect the Red Scale was originally used to store or transport alien parasites. It was only by chance that it was damaged and acquired by humans, who then turned it into a mecha."
It is powerful enough, but there are too many uncontrollable factors. Even when the mecha was first introduced, no one could control it until He Ziqian appeared and brought it to Ruan Xi.
This is simply fate, so mysterious.
"I'm starting." Ruan Xi was even a little eager to get a result. He didn't need to enter Chi Lin's control cabin. He just sat cross-legged beside He Ziqian casually, closed his eyes and started.
Ruan Xi transformed the wood-type ability in his body into strands of mental power, drilled into Chi Lin's control cabin, and then began to spread it throughout Chi Lin's body along the internal lines.
The problem point that He Ziqian had found before was near the "core" of Chi Lin, but Ruan Xi still scanned every part from the limbs to the torso with his mental power. After confirming that there were no problems elsewhere, he gathered all his mental power and concentrated it towards the "core".
Chi Lin, who had been in standby mode, suddenly activated. Its control system began to chase and block the invading mental energy, clearly preventing Ruan Xi from getting close to its "core." In this passive state, Chi Lin didn't even recognize He Ziqian, let alone Ruan Xi. The alarms blared throughout, as he chased and blocked Ruan Xi's mental energy, seemingly determined to eliminate him. He Ziqian was so frightened that a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Ruan Xi, don't force yourself. Safety is the most important thing!" He Ziqian didn't dare to interrupt Ruan Xi's actions directly. He could only stand by anxiously and remind her softly, fearing that disturbing Ruan Xi would cause serious consequences.
"Don't worry, he can't do anything to me." If he can't handle it alone, isn't there still the big tree? Can the big tree just sit there and watch others bully him?
"Don't talk nonsense, concentrate. This is obviously not Chilin's original control system..." Dashu paused here, and Ruan Xi continued naturally.
"It should be said that this is Chi Lin's original control system, which is full of aggressiveness. The later control system was probably suppressed." Even destroyed, that is the worst result. He is quite familiar with Chi Lin, and does not want the cool guy with a little cuteness Chi Lin to disappear.
"It's right in front. I see that red dot. Let's break through it in one fell swoop. The thing is behind that red dot!"
"Okay!"
After Ruan Xi gave a relatively brisk shout, he suddenly activated all his supernatural powers, instantly condensing the strands of mental power into a sharp blade. Without any intention of pausing or building up strength, he stabbed forward without hesitation.
Ruan Xi only heard a crisp cracking sound, and when the red light dissipated, he finally saw what was behind it.
"It's indeed an alien parasite!"
