Chapter 2446

2361 Prophet? No, I'm just a doctor (Alliance Leader cj Big Bun added 5)

Su Yun silently looked at Zheng Ren, listening to his own boss speak earnest nonsense.

A……dry corpse……he said he was sick? Should we put him somewhere by the Nile River and have a good chat with those seniors of boundless magic?

Of course, what appears in the video is not an ordinary dry corpse, but a kind of 'person' similar to a dry corpse. At the very least, in Su Yun's heart, the word 'person' is in quotes.

He glanced again at that person in the video, then quickly shifted his eyes away.

It's really harsh on the eyes.

Even if he didn't look again, the image of that gaunt‑looking 'person' still lingered before Su Yun's eyes.

The skin is very white, with no fat underneath; the veins are superficial and prominent, and the blood flowing in the vessels can be seen, as if worms were wriggling under the skin.

Through the skin one can faintly see the muscles, the cheeks are deeply sunken; Su Yun felt that describing it as a skeleton or a dry corpse was still not right. Perhaps it could be called a 3D‑dimensional full‑body specimen? Or maybe that description is still appropriate.

As a doctor, one shouldn't normally fear a specimen, but who could chat casually with a talking specimen and not care?

Su Yun couldn't do that, so he now sincerely admires his own boss.

Doing the surgery well is nothing; sooner or later I could catch up. But to speak grandly about a 'specimen'—that takes real courage.

Damn, that's brave, Su Yun muttered. He guessed that if they talked face to face, his boss might even step forward and shake hands with that specimen.

This scene is too beautiful—too beautiful to bear watching.

"Zheng, are you sure?" Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian asked lightly. He had already seen Marlis's expression and was convinced that Zheng Ren's statement was correct.

How strange—the face and hands have become like this, yet the fat is all piled up in the lower half. If Zheng Ren's theory were true, that would be really weird.

Just thinking about that image lacking any sense of balance made even Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian zone out a bit.

"Well, I read Miss Marlis's expression and my guess seems right." Zheng Ren's eyes narrowed further, his brows like blades piercing the heavens.

On screen, Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian and Ma Li Si both remained silent, like two statues.

Zheng Ren also stayed silent, quickly searching his memory for the many details of this extremely rare medical case.

Related reports are too scarce, so the obtainable information is limited. But even if the information is little, it still exists.

After a long while, Ma Li Si said in a hoarse voice: "Respected Prophet, how did you know?"

Prophet!

Su Yun stared for a moment.

According to his understanding, this is a very exalted title in some ancient tribal traditions. Calling one's own boss a Prophet—isn't that a bit over the top…

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian also spaced out for a moment, staring in astonishment at Ma Li Si.

Prophet?

Prophet!

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian knew what the title 'Prophet' meant in Marlis's people. His face, which had always kept an expression as elegant as a ten‑thousand‑year‑old iceberg, shattered and melted, though he himself didn't notice.

"Prophet? No, I'm just a doctor." Zheng Ren gave a simple smile. "Marlis, you can just call me Doctor Zheng."

"Zheng……doctor." Ma Li Si's facial muscles seemed to twitch; if it were another person, facial twitching would be mere speculation.

But for Ma Li Si, it's not like that.

The outline of her facial muscles stood out clearly, and with veins bulging like those of a reptile, she resembled a demon crawling out of hell. Various facial muscle groups twitched slightly, and as the muscles trembled, the sensation of reptilian veins crawling became even more pronounced.

"Well, we've already established the most basic trust." Zheng Ren said: "Now can you tell me your medical history?"

"Medical history……" Ma Li Si was still unfamiliar with the term, she hesitated and asked: "Doctor Zheng, if it's an illness rather than a curse, what kind of disease is it?"

"I believe it's acquired partial lipodystrophy." Zheng Ren said in a deep voice.

"Respected Prophet……Doctor Zheng, how did you determine that?" Ma Li Si asked anxiously.

"Female patient, onset in childhood—that's the first point."

"Facial, neck, and upper‑limb fat loss—if I'm not mistaken, the upper half of the body shows fat loss." Zheng Ren said steadily: "Originally I shouldn't have said so hastily that your fat is accumulated in the lower half, but Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian urged me to voice my first thought, and that can only be this kind of disease."

"Yes, your keen gaze can see through eternity." Ma Li Si slowly rose to her feet; her wide black robe enveloped her whole body, making her look like the Grim Reaper descending—if she also held a sickle in her hand.

Ma Li Si made a slight Jiu Gong, expressing her respect to Zheng Ren in the picture.

The etiquette was very strange; Zheng Ren guessed it was some kind of ritual in their tribe, "No need to be polite, can you now talk about your medical history?"

"Just as you said, there's no difference." Ma Li Si's withered hand stretched out, grabbed a corner of the black outer garment, and silently pulled the clothing off.

Her upper body resembled that of a Feizhou refugee, rib Bone visible one by one; Zheng Ren could see the heartbeat from under her chest garment with Clarity.

The muscles of both arms were stretched, also visible, just like facial muscles. On the abdomen, the intestinal shape and peristaltic waves could be clearly seen, utterly bizarre.

While her lower body resembled a mountain of meat formed by accumulated fat, the two legs could not be brought together, and the distance between them was completely filled with fat.

The upper and lower body were completely two different people; she was like a puppet clumsily put together by a clumsy artisan.

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian was also seeing this situation of Ma Li Si for the first time; the dark red liquid he had just swallowed almost made him spit it out.

Su Yun stared blankly at the screen, he was ignorant of the disease his Boss had mentioned.

"It seems to be the case." Zheng Ren said calmly: "Subcutaneous fat Reduction developing gradually downward in bilateral symmetry on the face, neck, upper limbs, chest, and abdomen. Moreover, there is bilateral subcutaneous fat accumulation in the buttocks and thighs; if blood is tested at the Hospital, lipid metabolism disorder should be visible, with HDL below normal."

"Is it a disease?" Ma Li Si murmured.

"From your appearance, it should be like this." Zheng Ren said: "All the conditions match; patients with acquired partial lipodystrophy usually have lipid and glucose metabolism abnormalities or kidney disease."

"Hurry to the Hospital for a check; because cases are few, we're not sure if there are other diseases."

"Doctor Zheng, this illness…… if it is a disease, can it be treated?" Ma Li Si asked tremblingly.
