Kara stood in front of Cassia in high heels, wearing a large sun-visible straw hat, dark sunglasses covering half of her face, and a plain long skirt. It is now summer in most parts of the empire.
, this is Kara’s favorite outfit in summer.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by those in the military school?" Cassia said with a smile on her face.
"If I am going to be discovered, I will never appear in your eyes." Kara replied solemnly, taking off her sunglasses with slender fingers, revealing a face that was no longer burdened by any pressure, and its rosy color had returned to
The color, with a little light makeup, looks great.
This healthy appearance is almost recovered.
"Let's find another place. This location is too remote. Although it is quiet, it would be too eye-catching for the two of us to sit together." Kara turned around and walked to a place with a little sunshine to sit down.
Xia had no choice but to follow behind with her heavy luggage.
"How is the injury? There shouldn't be any big problems, right? I mean while you are resting quietly." Kara watched Cassia slowly walk over, got up and went to help him get the brown box he was carrying.
There was also a suitcase dragged behind him, and then he looked at Cassia and asked.
"It's not a big problem, but after returning to the military school, it's already scheduled to lie down in the biological experiment building for a few days." Cassia gestured to her left palm, which was tightly wrapped in gauze.
It was also a penetrating wound caused by a sharp cane sword. The size of the wound was a little larger than the hole in the chest. There has not yet been sutures there, but basic wound treatment was done with the help of Dr. Nomos to ensure that the injury would not
It's just recurrence and infection. The surgeon's body is so strong, but after all, it is only the early stage of the first stage, and they still have a long way to go.
"You also have a penetrating injury on your chest, but looking at your appearance now, you are much better than me." Cassia continued, the summer sun was shining on her body, and it suddenly became warm and comfortable.
Feeling. Then he thought of the 1024 digital code on Kara's chest, and the expression on his face stiffened for a moment, but then returned to normal.
"That's for sure." Kara sighed before continuing: "The damage done to me by that knife only caused me to lose too much blood and then punctured two layers of my skin."
Then Kara glanced at Cassia and said: "Maybe you have guessed it, I was stabbed hard in the heart, but there was no reason for death?"
"You should probably know." Cassia's voice was a little hesitant. During the few days he stayed in the hospital bed, he thought about this matter carefully. "Even if we are surgeons, the vital points of ordinary people and those that are harmful to us are...
Things that work for ordinary people are still effective for us."
Kara nodded, smiling, and motioned for Cassia to continue.
"So if our heart is damaged, in your situation at that time, we will definitely die. Unless there is a top medical team nearby and equipped with the top medical equipment, no one can save the heart.
We are completely destroyed." Cassia said, and then changed her tone, "Logically speaking, you should be dead, at least according to sharp eyes and understanding at the time. But what if that knife destroyed not the heart, but something else?
What about things? Will the result be different?"
Looking at Kara, Cassia seemed to be recalling something and said: "I remember you said something to me. You said that was your belief - as long as it is something you can control, you must ensure that it will not be in the final state.
If any problem arises at a critical moment, this sentence should be the answer."
"Did I say that?" Kara's face showed doubts, and Cassia shook her head with a helpless expression, and then continued: "You cherish your life very much, and that's true for everyone. It's just that you cherish it even more.
It’s just intense. So for things that can be controlled by yourself, you will be 200% prepared for it.”
"So I have ruled out the possibility that you were born with a heart on the right side. Not only is the chance too small, but also because during the few days we have been on missions together, when we sometimes observe you, the left side of your chest
There are still obvious traces of heart beating."
Kara nodded, then looked into Cassia's eyes and asked doubtfully: "When you boys observe a girl, do you focus on the chest?"
Cassia was speechless for a moment, her face turned red, and she avoided Kara's gaze.
Kara laughed out loud. It was a smile that came from the depths of her right heart. The sound was very pleasant, like a bird hooting in the morning. Even if it was woken up, it would not be angry.
"Yes, just like you said, my heart is on the right side." Kara patted her right chest, and Cassia naturally avoided looking, otherwise she would be ridiculed again.
"This is not natural. Although there are such cases, I am not that kind of person. Because I am afraid of death and know that the heart is also one of the most deadly organs, I hired top-notch people before I entered the military school.
The surgeon performed a heart transfer operation on me. He forcibly moved my real heart to the right side and suppressed it. Otherwise, the beating amplitude would be too large. If you look closely, you will find clues. Then, it will be in the original position of the heart.
, a heart-like replacement is implanted, connected to the surrounding main blood vessels. When it is destroyed, it will be like a real heart being destroyed, with a large amount of blood flowing out, and the body twitching and comatose. Because I know that if I die,
, it is very likely that he will die at the hands of the surgeon. If the stage play on the body is not realistic enough to deceive the enemy's eyes, even if the heart is transferred to the right side, he will not be able to escape from the enemy's hands.
”
"So whether it was coma or massive bleeding at that time, it's time to understand the cause?" Kara asked Cassia, who was listening carefully.
Nodding, Cassia had a look of surprise on her face: "So it's like having two hearts at the same time. When one of them is destroyed, it will bleed and become comatose. Then during this time, the other spare heart will
Be awakened and re-energize the body."
"There is nothing wrong with this understanding, but the main function of the heart substitute is to deceive the enemy. There are various drugs, tranquilizers, various hormones, cardiotonic drugs, etc. that have been placed in the heart substitute. When it is destroyed,
First, it will automatically and slowly close the connection with the peripheral main blood vessels, and these things will be injected into the remaining blood together. The substitute is almost the same as the function of the real heart, but it is a substitute after all and cannot compare with
Real perfection." Kara added, then took Cassia's hand and placed it on her own smooth-skinned neck.
Cassia's whole arm was stiff, her face was very red, and she started to sweat a little because of her nervousness. What kind of touch she had on her hands was completely blocked by her brain because of her nervousness. She would definitely get hot and sweaty if she was basking in the sun in summer.
, he thought.
Kara was speechless, looked at Cassia's appearance, shook her head, and then said: "I'm not asking you to feel my skin. Be serious. When you put your hands here, do you feel anything else?"
"What?" Cassia's mind was in a mess.
"The beating of the carotid artery." Kara replied, speaking every word.
Only then did Cassia's head react, although his face turned redder. The light returned to his eyes and he looked at the position where his finger was placed, which is exactly where the carotid artery is in ordinary people. But now there was no trace on his finger.
I didn’t feel the beating I should have.
"Along with the heart transfer surgery, the positions of arteries and veins in some key parts have also been slightly adjusted." Kara looked at Cassia and said seriously, "Of course, this is not intended to explain the specific effects of this surgery.
But I want to tell you that among the enemies or allies you encounter in the future, there will definitely be people who have done similar surgeries like me. You have to be careful. Some professional doctors are just like mechanics.
A scalpel is as powerful as a precision tool in the hand of a machinist."
After Kara said these words, silence fell suddenly, like darkness shrouded it. Even now it is a summer afternoon when the sun is shining brightly.
"Aren't you going back to Manoma?" After a while, Cassia asked.
