Chapter 1647: 1592 Bone-Scraping Detox (Alliance Leader Bright Sunshine Rain Bonus Chapter 2)

Zheng Ren hurried back to the meeting room, his face ashen.

He pushed the door open and saw everyone inside chatting and laughing; the tension in his nerves and muscles finally eased.

"How did you get covered in blood? Did the emergency room rescue you?" Xie Yiren asked.

She spoke while pulling a towel from her luggage, dampening it with pure water, intending to wipe the blood off Zheng Ren.

"Don't touch my skin," Zheng Ren said hurriedly.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Xie Yiren said, puzzled.

"Eh, nothing much." Zheng Ren said, "Did you bring the surgical kit?"

"I did." Xie Yiren saw Zheng Ren had no wounds and found it strange, "Are you going to operate on Old Master Wang?"

"Operate on me," Zheng Ren said with a smile.

"You're injured?" Xie Yiren's face drained of color.

"No, just a parasite got under my skin." Zheng Ren said, "Su Yun, get the hospital staff to give me indocyanine green solution."

Indocyanine green fluorescence is a new technique used to mark the liver during resection.

This is the largest hospital in Nanyang; although it's called a national hospital, it's actually the biggest and best private one, so indocyanine green solution is certainly available.

Hearing Zheng Yun say that, Su Yun didn't have time to ask details and immediately ran out to fetch the indocyanine green he wanted.

"What on earth happened to you?" Xie Yiren asked anxiously.

"Let's see what this gu poison really is." Zheng Ren smiled, "It's fine—only a tiny worm burrowed into my left hand."

"……"

Xie Yiren was a bit anxious, but she knew crying wouldn't help at this moment.

Since Zheng Ren said it's fine, then it's fine.

After taking out the surgical kit and opening it, Xie Yiren asked, "What do you need?"

"Povidone-iodine for disinfection, the knife handle, and a willow-leaf blade," Zheng Ren said.

Everything was ready quickly; Su Yun also pulled Wang Nan along and, at top speed, found the indocyanine green solution and returned to the meeting room.

"Boss, you're alright, right?"

Zheng Ren didn't answer him; instead, he had Su Yun find a container and dilute the indocyanine green.

"One to a hundred," Zheng Ren said.

After dilution, Zheng Ren poured the solution directly onto his left forearm.

Su Yun noticed that Zheng Ren had just grabbed the Song En with his left hand.

The indocyanine green solution slid down Zheng Ren's arm, dripping like rain; within seconds, a network of crisscrossing traces appeared on his skin.

"Goodness… does it spread on contact? That fast?" Su Yun exclaimed, astonished.

"I haven't seen anyone handle worms like this in years," Lao He said from the side.

"Lao He, what is this?" Chang Yue whispered.

"When I first started work, I saw a few cases of skin parasites in the emergency department. Back then we'd dilute red antiseptic or red ink and splash it on; soon tunnels would appear where the worms had burrowed under the skin." Lao He, being experienced, immediately realized what Zheng Ren was doing.

"Nowadays, with higher living standards, we haven't seen a skin‑parasite case in the capital for ages."

Just mentioning worms made Chang Yue's face turn white with fear.

She carefully moved closer to Su Yun and grabbed the corner of his shirt.

"Don't fuss, I'm busy," Su Yun said.

Chang Yue's face grew even paler.

"Stay back, or it'll jump onto you and burrow right in," Zheng Ren laughed, "just like an alien."

"Cut the crap," Su Yun muttered, yet he used his body to shield Chang Yue and stepped back a step.

"Put the microscope on me," Zheng Ren said.

"You're talking as if it's real," Su Yun muttered, but he quickly pulled the microscope from his pack and placed it on Zheng Ren's head.

"Won't it hurt?" Xie Yiren asked, worried.

"It won't." Zheng Ren said, "Give me a fine needle."

"Do you need a needle holder?"

"Yes."

"Do you need a kidney dish?"

"What do you need the kidney dish for?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Where are you planning to put the worm?"

"Just one, it's fine." Zheng Ren chuckled, held the knife handle, made a small incision on the skin surface, then slapped the handle onto the side table, picked up the needle holder, and moved close to the cut.

The odd thing was he didn't use the needle tip to pierce in, but the needle eye.

Su Yun's sharp eyes saw a seemingly transparent thread being pulled out of Zheng Ren's body.

What is this? Su Yun blinked, then realized Zheng Ren must have threaded the parasite through the needle eye and, by adjusting the force, was slowly moving it to the middle.

This requires a steady hand and precision.

Unlike ordinary surgery, cutting into oneself feels different.

That's why the tale of Guan Yuye scraping bone to cure poison has been sung for a thousand years.

Soon Zheng Ren tossed the needle holder into the kidney dish, which clanged.

Su Yun immediately stepped forward.

In the kidney dish lay a white, nearly transparent worm about seven centimeters long, wriggling.

"Gone?"

"Gone."

Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren's arm; there was only a single mark, not even a drop of blood.

"Have you ever done this kind of Shou Bing before?" Su Yun was surprised.

"Lao He said it before, this is a routine Shou Bing in the Emergency Department from years ago. You big-city doctors don't see much of it." Zheng Ren spouted nonsense casually.

"It sounds like you've supported rural areas before." Su Yun said disdainfully.

This guy graduated from Rongcheng; there's no way he's seen more than I have.

Xie Yiren held a bottle of povidone-iodine, helping Zheng Ren wash his arm. Her fingers were warm and gentle, afraid to hurt Zheng Ren by touching him.

"When did it get infected? That guy doesn't have AIDS, right?" Su Yun said ominously, cackling.

Zheng Ren sweated profusely.

If it weren't for the System Panel, Su Yun would have called me an idiot just now.

Thus, he still tried to recall the praise grace Xitong Diagnosis. Making sure there was no infectious disease, he then relaxed.

If he had an Infectious Disease, could it spread widely through parasites? Zheng Ren thought, then laughed.

Such a parasite that seems to have spiritual intelligence would be hard to obtain, right?

"I grabbed his head and, when I slammed him into the wall, I happened to see it." Zheng Ren said, "At the time I thought there wouldn't be any problem, so I didn't bother with it; anyway, I could get it out."

"Boss, you're being overconfident." Su Yun said, looking at the parasite in the tray, still feeling uneasy.

"This is the confidence of a surgeon."

"Bullshit!"

Zheng Ren asked for anhydrous alcohol, poured it into the tray, then lit it.

Su Yun took two cigarettes, handed one to Zheng Ren, then used the fire from the tray to light it.

"Calm down, everyone who doesn't like smoke, bear with it a bit." Su Yun said to everyone.

"Chief Zheng, are their bodies full of worms?" Fan Tian Shui felt a chill, worried he might also be infected, so he asked.

"No." Zheng Ren said, "It should be controllable. Just now that guy I knocked into shock only released the worms at the end. It's just this one; you're fine."

Hearing Zheng Ren say that, Fan Tian Shui finally let out a breath.

"Zheng Lao Ban, could you teach me this skill later?" Foreman Zhu Fengyu said.

"Huh?"

"I've carried out missions in the tropical rainforest; comrades-in-arms have died on parasites. If you were there, I estimate I would have survived." Zhu Fengyu said.

It was very plain, neither sad nor happy.
