Ten minutes later.
Operating room.
Slender Man trembled as he lay on the table, watching Lynn continuously sharpen his blade, and said:
"Are we really doing surgery?!"
Lynn nodded, blew on the reflective knife, closed his eyes and said: "No other way, the root cause is there. Without performing surgery, relying solely on medication for treatment would be impossible."
Slender Man shivered and stammered: "Can... can I get anesthesia?"
Lynn paused.
He then showed an apologetic smile, rubbed the back of his head, and said:
"Almost forgot again, look at my memory. Don't worry, I'll administer it right now, hehehe—"
After speaking.Lynn quickly put down the knife and began rummaging through the various bottles and jars in the cabinet behind him.
Slender Man instantly (ΩДΩ)'ed.
Why did you say "again"!
Something's wrong!
Something's definitely wrong!
Shouldn't giving patients anesthesia before surgery be standard procedure?!
Why do you seem like you don't even know where you keep your anesthesia?!
[Slender Man's SAN -10]
He trembled while watching Lynn's back, increasingly feeling that this doctor might not be reliable.
And then finally in the next moment.
"Found it!"
He heard Lynn's joyful voice.
Slender Man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Expired?"
Lynn frowned while looking at the bottle in his hand.
Jolt—
Slender Man instantly (((; ꒪ꈊ꒪; )))'ed.
Lynn turned around, looking at Slender Man whose teeth were chattering, eyes wide open, trembling as he stared at him.
"How about..." Lynn said with a frown: "You tough it out?"
"No!!"
Slender Man instantly subconsciously reached out his hands, becoming terrified.
He absolutely did not want to tough it out!
Just tapping his leg earlier hurt so much!
If he performed surgery without anesthesia, who knows how painful it would be!
If he casually removed your kidney too, that would be absolutely terrifying!
Seeing the patient's strong resistance, Lynn thought for a moment, then slightly frowned and said:
"But there is another method of anesthesia, not sure if you'd be willing to try it..."
"What method?" Slender Man asked as if seeing hope.
Lynn said seriously: "Physical anesthesia."
Slender Man (；OдO)'ed: "Physical... anesthesia?"
Thud—
[Ding! You knocked out Slender Man, you gained 10 basic experience points]
"......"
...
[Ding! You successfully removed Slender Man's cyst, your surgical ability +10]
[Ding! You realigned Slender Man's misplaced kidney, your internal medicine ability +1]
[Ding! You successfully completed an outstanding suture, your sewing ability +10]
Half an hour later.
Lynn supported the trembling, vacant-eyed Slender Man who leaned on crutches and had an IV drip as they staggered out of the operating room.
His head was wrapped in bandages: Physical anesthesia.
His waist was wrapped in bandages: Kidney removal... no, cyst removal.
His leg was wrapped in bandages: Old Rheumatism.
His face was wrapped in bandages: Ugly.
"Customer, everything went very smoothly. The cyst has been removed, but the residual Cold Toxins in your body need further treatment. This is the new medication I prepared for you, you need to take it regularly."
"Remember, don't stop the IV drip, don't interrupt the medication. I guarantee you'll be cured within a week!"
Lynn seriously gave a thumbs up.
Slender Man looked vacantly at the IV bottle hanging above his head, then glanced at his thoroughly wrapped knee and entire leg.
Leaning on crutches.
Warm packs stuffed in his arms.
Heating patches stuck on his forehead.
"Thank you so much," he said emptily. "I wish happiness to your family."
"Wait a moment!"
Lynn smiled and immediately took out the four scrolls from the box, carefully examined them, then closed his eyes contentedly and put them back in the box.
What he didn't notice was that a strand of hair from the scroll accidentally brushed past his fingertip.
"No problem, I'll immediately..."
But before he could finish speaking, the system prompt instantly sounded in his ear.
[Ding! You discovered target disease: Congenital High-level Paralysis]
[Ding! You discovered target disease: Permanent Skin Suppuration]
[Ding! You discovered target disease: Malignant Toxin Residue from Parasitic Poison Moths]
[Ding! You discovered target disease: Intermittent Limb Dissolution]
Lynn was immediately startled.
His gaze instantly locked onto the box.
He was certain he hadn't come into contact with any living being just now, but these prompts...
Next moment.
Lynn's eyes caught the long hair on the scroll.
"This is?"
Lynn narrowed his eyes.
Could it be from that Intelligence Agent?
He glanced at Slender Man and inquired: "Sir, may I ask if anyone else handled this delivery?"
When it came to his work, Slender Man immediately became solemn and said:
"No, my master handles deliveries one-on-one. The master personally packaged this—absolutely no other being could have touched it."
Hearing this, Lynn understood completely.
He smiled inwardly.
Seems like it's definitely that Intelligence Agent.
And apparently suffering from various strange diseases too—no wonder it's holed up in the Sight doing intelligence work all year round.
Instantly.
Lynn remembered the several thousand Skeleton Coins he was cheated out of in the Sight before.
Lynn smiled slightly, quickly picked up a pen, and began writing on the back of the card.
[Double Wood:]
[Respected Intelligence Agent, I have successfully received your delivery. Thank you very much. However, you seem to have accidentally left one of your hairs in the delivery. As a professional physician, I unfortunately detected some concerning symptoms from your lovely hair.]
Lynn wrote down the several diseases he had discovered.
[I am deeply saddened by your suffering. If you see my receipt, please remember to come to Sight's xxxx number medicine shop to find Mr. Double Wood. Remember to make an appointment, remember to bring money—I can provide further diagnosis and treatment for you. Wishing you health.]
[Your loyal doctor: Mr. Double Wood.]
