Chapter 172 Try It [Second Update]
"You don't need to know those. You just need to tell me whether you can cure it. If you can't, you'll just have to die. I don't keep useless people here." Isaac's speech was as annoying as ever. His threatening posture was simply perfect, and no one knew how he had practiced it.
"You make it sound like I came here on my own accord. Didn't you kidnap me? Is this adding to my amnesia? Well, it's still selective amnesia. I only forget what I want to forget."
Ruan Xi slowly rubbed his sore wrist, moved his ten fingers, and made sure there was no movement problem. Then he began to look for a pen to write a medical record.
However, after searching around for a long time, he couldn't find a single pen. When he looked up, Isaac was still looking at him as if he were a fool.
"What are you looking for? Like a fool." Isaac never knew what "moral speech" was. This kind of person seemed to be born and raised, and had never received formal teaching from anyone. He grew up naturally, and had a special... true temperament.
His true nature is very unpleasant. If you don't listen to him when talking to him, he will say whatever he wants. Anyway, as long as others are unhappy, he will be happy.
In Ruan Xi's opinion, this is a typical naughty and stupid kid who has messed up his life and is showing off everywhere, thinking he is great.
Isaac just directly rejected his request to ask, is it because... his parents died a long time ago?
"What are you looking at me with?" Ruan Xi was just thinking about something interesting when his neck was suddenly pinched. Although it was not very tight, the feeling of difficulty breathing still made him very uncomfortable.
The violent emotion of near despair once again surged in Isaac's eyes, and the whites of his eyes were almost completely gone, leaving only pure black.
Ruan Xi didn't dare to move from her seat. She stretched her neck and looked at Isaac calmly. The two of them maintained this strange posture for ten minutes. Isaac finally let go of her hand slowly, laughing and twisting his neck mechanically.
"You are very brave. No one has ever dared to talk to me or look at me like this. Do you think I can't bear to kill you? Even if I kill you now, I still have several years to live. I deserve more than you." At this moment, the madness in Isaac's eyes almost reached its peak. His eyes turned from black to red, a blood-red color that made Ruan Xi feel uneasy.
However, this did not prevent him from grasping the key points of Isaac's words at the first moment.
"You understand your physical condition and even have an accurate diagnosis, but you're unwilling to tell me. This will affect my assessment of your condition. Your non-cooperation may very well lead to treatment failure. In this case, arresting me would be a waste of time. You don't want to die, right?"
Ruan Xi's expression was still cold, but his tone and voice were as gentle as possible, just like how he treated every patient he had ever treated, even with a hint of hypnosis.
"I can't tell you... I can't tell you... You're not allowed to ask! Aren't you amazing? Didn't you cure that fat kid's genetic disease? Didn't you even cure that paralytic? They all have genetic diseases, and you're very experienced. Why can't you help me?"
Isaac's eyes were still bloodshot, but Ruan Xi could feel that his sanity was gradually returning to normal. However, Isaac's normality was still abnormal. Ruan Xi wanted to roll his eyes at Isaac, but it was obviously not appropriate to do so now. Otherwise, once Isaac completely turned against him, he might really die on the spot.
He wants to grow old with He Ziqian, how can he just sit here and watch them die?
"I'm not saying it's impossible, but if I don't have enough information, there's a possibility that it will affect my judgment of your condition. If you really don't want to say it and can't say it, that's okay. It just takes a little more time. Just... try it?" Ruan Xi tentatively said the last two words, with a cautious expression.
The word "try" is a test for Isaac, and being cautious is also a test for Isaac. Ruan Xi has to find out where Isaac's bottom line is, so that he can continue to test him in depth during the future "treatment". Otherwise, how can he dig out more secrets of Isaac?
However, it is just treatment, not cure. That is impossible. Considering the numerous crimes committed by Isaac, dying a hundred times is enough. It is not worth wasting the country's medical resources.
Ruan Xi didn't care whether it was Isaac's own medical resources or the country's medical resources that were being wasted. He was unwilling to save this blood-stained pirate leader.
Ruan Xi was cold in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. With his "sincerity" and professionalism, he successfully convinced Isaac.
"Start treatment immediately!" There was obvious urgency in Isaac's words and expression. His eyes showed that he wanted to be cured immediately, which made Ruan Xi sneer in his heart.
Someone who has done so many evil things would actually be afraid of death? What a joke!
"Mr. Isaac, the treatment of genetic diseases is a long process. Before formal treatment, I have to develop a detailed treatment plan based on your physical data. This is a necessary prerequisite and cannot be omitted." Ruan Xi said this with reason and evidence, and he did not feel guilty at all.
He would make a real treatment plan, but whether he could cure Isaac was another matter. Not to mention that he was not willing to treat Isaac at all, just from Isaac's special physique, this treatment plan might not be suitable for him.
Humanity...
Alien...
These two words flashed through Ruan Xi's mind like lightning, making his thoughts, which were originally shrouded in fog, clear for a moment. However, it was only in this moment, and he did not completely understand the connection.
It couldn't be that Isaac was an alien, or that he was parasitized by an alien parasite? However, he couldn't sense any alien aura on Isaac at all, so it shouldn't be possible.
But Ruan Xi understood the saying too well: the most unlikely things are often the most likely to become reality. Whenever he thought of that result, Ruan Xi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
If alien parasites can achieve such a level of integration, how many such beings are there among humans? Will humanity soon be extinct in name only?
This ending was too terrible, and Ruan Xi didn't dare to think about it too much.
Ruan Xi secretly calmed herself down and continued to explain to Isaac the importance of the treatment plan and the difficulty of formulating it. This man clearly didn't want anyone else to know about this matter. He just wanted Ruan Xi to fight alone and didn't even send an assistant.
With such a petty mindset, could he really expect him to sincerely work for him? He's so shameless, he doesn't even want to do it even when threatened with his life!
"Five days! I'll only give you five days! If you can't do it, then die!"
"Okay, it's your territory, you have the final say."
You must never fall into our hands again. Once you get to our territory, you will have no control over it!
Ruan Xi quietly added this in her mind, but remained expressionless. After calmly watching Isaac leave, she let out a long sigh and sat back in her chair exhausted.
"You're crazy, you keep pinching me. When my boyfriend comes, I'll beat you to death!" Ruan Xiwei muttered with his head down. Even if someone saw him, they wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying. He looked more like an expert who was obsessed with academics and was concentrating on a professional problem.
Ruan Xi had no doubt that this laboratory was under surveillance. In fact, it was just as he thought. As soon as Isaac returned to his room, he turned on the surveillance video and stared at Ruan Xi's every move without blinking.
Unfortunately, He Ziqian had already trained Ruan Xi in these things in detail, and he had always kept them in mind.
In the following five days, Ruan Xi was always busy, even sleeping less than five hours a day. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed that he was fully devoted to studying Isaac's condition, and he looked very professional.
Isaac frowned, unable to find any fault with Ruan Xi, which made him more and more anxious. He was in a very conflicted mood. On the one hand, he hoped that Ruan Xi could completely cure his genetic disease so that he would not have to face the danger of death all the time. On the other hand, he wanted to find out what was wrong with Ruan Xi so that he would have the opportunity to humiliate him or even kill him.
But, I can’t find it, I can’t find it at all!
Ruan Xi was like a scholar obsessed with academics, completely immersed in his own world, ignoring everything in the outside world. Isaac had not appeared in the past few days, as if he had really forgotten this person completely, and had no awareness of actively fighting for the right to consult a doctor at the beginning. This inconsistency made Isaac's anxiety even worse.
He was so furious that he could hardly suppress it. Just at this moment, his men came to report that other pirate groups were trying to steal business from their sphere of influence. How could he tolerate this?
"Then teach them the rules."
"Yes, Captain."
Isaac left the base camp with his elite men. Ruan Xi was completely unaware of this and was still immersed in his own research!
It has to be said that Isaac's illness gave him great inspiration, allowing him to confirm several theories based on his original experience in treating genetic diseases. These are universal treatment plans that can be passed down, and are a milestone in the development of human medicine.
"Cool! Thank you so much, Mr. Isaac!"
As a result, Ruan Xi became even busier and more energetic. On the fifth day, he even stayed up all night to tackle a new problem.
It was just getting light outside, but Ruan Xi was still wide awake. Just when he was excited, the door of the laboratory was suddenly slammed open, and a smell of blood rushed in, making Ruan Xi frown subconsciously.
"What's going on?"
When Ruan Xi looked up, he saw Isaac covered in blood. Before he could ask any more questions, the voice of the big tree suddenly sounded anxiously in his mind.
"Xiao Xi, your little darling has suddenly become manic, and the petri dish can hardly contain him!"
