Zombie Bodyguard
Chapter 1826 - 1823: Assisting
Although Director Liang had already prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked by Lin Tian’s confident answer.
"Lin Tian, with the current level of medical equipment, it’s impossible to test the results in the window period. Why are you so certain?" Professor He asked with a frown.
He worked in a laboratory and interacted with all kinds of experimental equipment. He was very aware of the current standard of experimental equipment, so he was somewhat skeptical of Lin Tian’s statement.
Lin Tian felt troubled. Should he say he used super vision to see it? Then explain that his super vision is more powerful than their CT scan?
Obviously, that was impossible. Lin Tian could already imagine their reaction when they heard this answer—laughing it off, treating it as a joke.
"Lin Tian, this is no joke. How did you diagnose it?" Dean Miao also expressed doubt. Although he admired Lin Tian’s medical skills, accomplishing something beyond the current medical level seemed like a fantasy.
Only Jiang Xiu Ying remained silent, seemingly pondering something. After a while, she said, "Lin Tian, does your sect have some Secret Technique?" She guessed this because she knew of Lin Tian’s identity as a Pharmacist.
Secret Technique? Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, then followed along with her words: "Uh, it is indeed a Secret Technique from my sect, but I’m sorry I can’t tell you the specifics of the technique."
"The human body is a very subtle and perfect system, which our ancestors already understood. They called this system meridians. The meridian system consists of twelve primary meridians, Eight Extraordinary Meridians, twelve divergent meridians, fifteen collaterals, twelve tendons, and twelve skin regions."
"These are the main components of the meridian system, but there are many tiny vessels and acupoints that are not part of the main meridians, yet they also play a crucial role, forming a perfect system together with the main meridians."
"The meridians connect the internal organs, limbs, and bones, forming an even larger system inside and outside the body. Qi and blood circulate endlessly within this system, sustaining life."
"Every subtle change in the human body can be reflected in this system. The Secret Technique of my sect is to observe these subtle changes and deduce the cause of the changes. That’s how I diagnosed it just now."
To dispel their doubts, Lin Tian bravely constructed a theory. The foundation of this theory was ancient meridian science, so he wasn’t afraid they wouldn’t believe him.
The truth mingled with lies, half true and half false. Lin Tian knew they were half convinced, but given their statuses, they wouldn’t pursue it further. Sure enough, after hearing this theory, the group exchanged glances but didn’t dare to question further.
"So the student is really infected, sigh..." Director Liang sighed deeply,
"The contagion is too strong. I’m afraid this time it will exceed all our expectations," Dean Miao also said gravely.
"Let’s not talk about anything else for now. Lin Tian’s control method is beneficial. We should implement it quickly. Lin Tian, tell us what needs to be done. The rest of us can assist you," Jiang Xiu Ying decided promptly.
But her words surprised Professor He and the others. A medical authority willing to assist a young man—who would believe such a thing?
Seeming to see through their thoughts, Jiang Xiu Ying confidently said, "You won’t lose out. On the contrary, you will gain."
Lin Tian sighed inwardly, thinking that she’s raising him higher, but now wasn’t the time to refuse. Pretentious refusals would only waste time.
Dean Miao, having collaborated with Lin Tian before, had already prepared all the acupuncture tools, and was now looking at Lin Tian expectantly, like a diligent student, prompting He Jianhua and the others to also anticipate eagerly.
Lin Tian activated his super vision, scanning Zhao Weitao’s body once more. After several evolutions, his vision could see more detailed aspects; Zhao Weitao’s meridian system, internal organs, and circulation of qi and blood were clearly mapped in his mind.
"Container, drainage tube," Lin Tian called out over his shoulder without turning his head. He didn’t know who handed him the container, but the renowned experts truly were willing to assist him.
Lin Tian placed the container by Zhao Weitao’s head, then swiftly inserted the gold wire, piercing into the blister. His fingertips vibrated slightly, and transparent pus began to flow out. His other hand, already holding the drainage tube, promptly connected it, allowing the pus to flow into the container.
Both hands performed their functions, each moving differently yet without hindrance, maintaining perfect coordination.
"Truly a natural pair of hands for surgery," Director Liang murmured in admiration.
Being experts, they could tell whether someone was skilled with just one move. Professor He was also watching intently, their faith in Jiang Xiu Ying’s words growing.
Lin Tian, unaffected by them, focused solely on manipulating the gold wire deftly, as if in perfect Unity of Heaven and Man.
In fact, ancient acupuncture included surgical procedures. However, much of the essence was lost over time. The legendary story of Hua Tuo scraping the bone to remove poison from Guan Yu is a type of surgery. Hua Tuo even suggested Cao Cao undergo a craniotomy to treat his headache, which was a profound surgical operation.
As for small procedures like draining pus, it naturally posed no challenge for Lin Tian. What he needed to do was drain the pus from Zhao Weitao’s head, and incidentally, expel the parasite eggs.
Half an hour later, all the blisters on Zhao Weitao’s head were drained. In the container, there was a pool of transparent pus. The pus had no foul smell and looked no different from mineral water. But upon closer inspection, one could see tiny black dots, which were the egg sacs, making one’s scalp tingle. Imagine drinking a sip without knowing what it was—that would be disastrous.
"Professor He, seal this sample and take it back to the life science lab for testing," Lin Tian said calmly.
The decision to take it back to school was because Lin Tian knew the life science lab’s research equipment was more comprehensive and advanced than the hospital’s.
"Next, I will begin acupuncture. Let’s have Elder Jiang join," Lin Tian requested, avoiding the word "assist," out of respect for an esteemed senior, and given she is also Zi Yan’s master.
"Bai Hui, Yongquan!" Lin Tian sterilized the gold wire, taking it up while Elder Jiang picked up a silver needle.
Almost simultaneously, Lin Tian’s gold wire pierced the Bai Hui acupoint, and Jiang Xiu Ying’s silver needle entered the Yongquan acupoint. Despite her age, Elder Jiang’s hands were incredibly steady, which Lin Tian found impressive. For an ordinary person to achieve such skill was truly remarkable.
Their acupuncture styles differed; Jiang Xiu Ying was steady, while Lin Tian’s movements were like flowing clouds, highly aesthetic. Of course, the Nine Needle Technique was not only visually appealing but also highly effective.
Dean Miao, watching Lin Tian use the Nine Needle Technique for the second time, was deeply engrossed, as were Director Liang and He Jianhua, who appeared more fascinated than ever.
