Chapter 2896 The light at the end of darkness (10)
"Hmm..." Constantine covered his right hand due to cramps and fell to his knees in pain.
The situation turned bad in an instant.
"There is a problem with the oxygen supply system of the thermal insulation dust-free clothes," he said: "Oops... I can't breathe!"
In order to perform the operation smoothly in a low-temperature environment, they wear tights that can self-heat to maintain their body temperature. Of course, the tights have their own gas circulation system to supply them with oxygen.
The problem is that the oxygen supply system is only designed for ordinary people, and the oxygen is provided according to the oxygen needs of ordinary people. Constantine is not an ordinary person. When he uses [Hand of God], he needs to expend huge physical strength and energy.
Concentration and oxygen consumption are several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary people!
The person who prepared the clean clothes for them did not expect this situation at all, and Constantine's oxygen supply became a big problem. When he noticed this problem, he had actually entered a state of long-term hypoxia, and the twitching of his arms was just
Just one of the side effects!
He was panting rapidly, but the oxygen he inhaled was far from what his body needed. It was like an engine running at full speed that ran out of fuel. There was no way to stop immediately, and there was not enough fuel to continue running. Things would go haywire.
tidy!
He knelt on the ground unable to move, and time passed by second by second. Even in the hypothermic state, the patient was still weakening during the operation. If the operation was not completed quickly, the patient's physical strength would be exhausted and he would definitely die.
!
However, it is impossible for Constantine to recover from the lack of oxygen for a moment like this. Even if he recovers, his arm has cramped, and the muscles in his arm are naturally damaged, which will inevitably affect him [
[Hand of God] is activated! Even if [Hand of God] can be activated again, its accuracy and speed will be greatly reduced!
The situation that was already desperate suddenly became even more desperate!
"...The operation is stopped." Greenville announced: "Lower the temperature here, freeze him, and wait until the surgeon has had enough rest before continuing. This is the only way."
"No... no!" Constantine gasped, "The [God's Operating Table] can't last that long! Once the effect of the [Operating Table] wears off, this place will thaw! We won't have time to send him in again.
In an ice coffin!"
"But--!"
Constantine stood up again tremblingly, obviously forcing himself: "It's okay... I can finish him."
Bang! However, he couldn't even pick up the surgical forceps. As soon as he exerted force, his arm was in severe pain due to cramps!
"It's over." Queen Greenville whispered: "Stop the operation. Now you finally understand that it is impossible for people to compete with the laws of nature. Resurrection from the dead...is against the laws of nature."
"No!" Elaine shouted at the side: "Don't give up!"
"But what can you do now?" the queen asked.
"...I, I will." Elaine, the white lion, said: "I will complete this operation for Constantine."
"You?" Queen Greenville looked at the young white lion man who was trembling with fear and anxiety and looked nothing like a doctor: "Even if I were to do this surgery, I would be more reliable than a brat like you."
What international joke are you making?"
"I... can do it." Elaine transformed again.
He became human.
This is the transformation with the highest intelligence and concentration among all his transformations, and it is also the transformation that can use telekinesis.
He has been recalling all the knowledge he has learned since just now. Whether it is the medical knowledge he learned from Queen Greenville's collection of books, or the dissection of thousands of corpses in the ten years in another world.
Those surgical knowledge——
His efforts, his dedication...all of them are meaningful! Absolutely, they will not be wasted!
Everything he did before was to save Leoport. Now, let them apply what they have learned and use it in the most correct place!
The Knights of the Round Table reluctantly got up: "Even if you have the corresponding knowledge, but you don't have the [Hand of God], what should you do..."
Elaine used practical actions to answer Constantine's questions.
That's right, use his [Psychic Power].
The so-called [psychokinetic force] actually emits thin lines made of photons and attaches them to the object. Then, as long as magic power is injected along the thin lines, kinetic energy can be generated on the surface of the object, making the object move in the direction desired by the caster.
, move.
The so-called [psychokinetic power] is actually not much different from playing with marionettes. It’s just that the [thread] has been replaced by a thin string of photons that is invisible and intangible to the naked eye!
The thin threads of photons he released bound the remaining nerves one by one, and those nerve threads floated as if they were not affected by gravity.
The surgical tools also floated under Elaine's [psychic power] and can be used at any time.
"Wait a minute," Queen Greenville said, "Since we can use telekinesis, we don't need suturing tools. We can directly connect the nerve threads and apply healing magic on the interface, and the nerve threads will automatically heal together."
"Your Highness the Queen, please don't condone him!"
"Do you have a better way? In this desperate situation?" Greenville asked Constantine in turn.
So, the Knights of the Round Table were silent. The doctor with the hand of God was silent. He had saved countless lives, and occasionally fell into such desperate situations. And in desperate situations, even if it was a broken pot, in order to save lives, the doctor would do what he did
Everything you can do.
"...Cure him, Elaine." Constantine entrusted the scalpel to the white-haired boy. The burden of saving people was also entrusted with him: "You are our last hope."
The young man took the scalpel and silently made up his mind.
"The operation is about to begin. Please give me more advice." Elaine whispered.
"First connect X710 and Y223." Greenwell began to give instructions.
The white-haired human boy nodded, and then manipulated the nerve threads to combine them together. He was basically using thin threads of photons to connect those nerves, combine them, and then apply a trace amount of healing at the moment they were combined.
Magic allows the nerves to heal and fuse together. This may be more efficient than suturing with normal surgical tools, although it will consume excess magic power.
Elaine doesn't know how long he can last in this state. He only knows that if he uses magic in human form, he will be punished by being petrified. If he keeps using it like this, sooner or later he will turn into a stone statue and die. But telekinesis can control objects.
The magic power that needs to be consumed is proportional to the weight of the object itself. He is currently operating nerve lines that are thinner than a hair and have almost no weight, so the magic power consumed is naturally very small...right?
Hope so.
The suturing of the telekinetic surgery was not smooth at first. It took Elaine ten seconds to finally sew the two nerves together. But gradually he mastered the trick and the operation became smoother and smoother.
Yes, this operation is indeed difficult.
But this kind of operation is actually slightly simpler than controlling the 255 spherical golems of [Epic Legion---Meteor Shower] before. Naturally, his operation speed cannot be compared with [Hand of God], but he can
About a hundred nerves can be sutured in one second, which is quite an ideal speed!
"Elaine..." Constantine removed the heat conduction on his arm and tried to use low-temperature ice compresses to recover his cramped arm as quickly as possible. He frowned deeply while watching Elaine's manipulation.
Even if you leave it alone, the child will grow up on its own.
The young man from the White Bear who could only hide behind Constantine and cry was now able to operate on people like this.
And what’s with that expression on Elaine’s face that’s as calm as a windless lake?
There was no doubt or fear on Elaine's face, not even a hint of gloom.
He is determined and focused, and only wants to save one person.
——That’s the expression an adult should have.
One hour later.
"Will this be effective?" Elaine carefully injected the sterilized [Lake of Immortality] water into the veins of the golden lion Leoport after the operation was completed.
Leo's heart was not beating, and there was no sign of life before the operation. The water of this lake of immortality had to flow at least throughout his body before it could have any effect. So they used artificial heart and lungs and began to use external force to help Leo
Porter performs blood circulation.
The blood is indeed circulating, and the lake water should follow the blood vessels and flow through every part of the lion boy's body.
The next step is to leave it to fate.
Can a young boy who has passed away, or once fallen into suspended animation, and been declared brain-dead, really be able to come back to life?
Is it really feasible to defy destiny and resurrect the dead?
It was weak, but it was real. The lion boy's heart began to beat slowly. With the heartbeat and the water of the Lake of Immortality, his recovery was accelerating.
"Leo..." Elaine held Leo Porter's hand with both hands. The human hand originally belonged to another person: "Please, please wake up, wake up. I can't live without you...
I……
...I haven't finished saying that to you...that sentence.
I don't want to...
...I don’t want to let you down again!”
He lay in front of Leo's hospital bed and sobbed softly. He had done everything he could, and at this time, there was no other way except praying.
At the end of the darkness, I look forward to the light that I don’t know will come.
Waiting for that moment when the long night breaks.
The gentle hand fell on Elaine's white hair, stroking it slowly.
"E...Lai...En..." The familiar voice sounded again, faint, but real.
The young man raised his head and saw a miracle in his vision that was gradually blurred by tears.
[Please do not go gentle into that good night.]
[To roar, roar at the fading light.]
[Then one day——]
[Reverse all this.]
At the same time, the Sand Ship Dawn was in the common room.
The magic swordsman Solar was facing the mirror, trying to take off the dragon scales on his face.
"The effectiveness of the lake water has ended, meow?" Seglade asked from the side.
"Ah, that lake water is not very effective on the dragon hunters." Solar said: "After all, it is just the bath water of pseudo-dragons. It contains very little magic power."
"But it can rejuvenate youth and bring the dead back to life. Isn't that a very magical magic potion?"
"No, it can't bring the dead back to life, my friend." Solar shook his head: "It can't even extend my life when my end is approaching. It doesn't have this nature."
"But……"
"The real effect of the lake is indeed miraculous, but it is not a magic or physical effect." Solar said: "To put it bluntly, it is [reversing the law of cause and effect] - forcibly twisting things that originally age and die."
, temporarily transformed into something with vitality. But this effect cannot last forever. When time is up, that little miracle will return to its original shape, and then——"
"Everything will disappear again, meow." Seglade narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Of course. Nothing can defy the laws of nature." Solar said with a wry smile: "Things like changing one's fate against the will of heaven and bringing back the dead will soon be corrected by the laws of the universe."
At night, there was no one on the deck of the British battleship except Elaine and Leoport. They lay flat on the deck and looked up at the starry sky. Today's night sky was particularly bright and clear, and the starry sky was as beautiful as
painting.
"It's windy here, so we can't get there. Can we get in the boat?" Elaine, who turned back into a white bear, asked in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me for being so willful." Leoport, who was lying in Elaine's arms, said, "I just want to stay here with you... for a little longer."
"You can treat each other as much as you want," the white bear man said, "From now on, no matter where Leo comes or where he goes, I will always be with you. We will never be separated."
"Really..." The golden lion lay in Elaine's arms with a happy face: "It's really great..."
"Elaine." He asked in a low voice: "What you said before, what you want to say...can you say it now?"
"Here? It's a bit... difficult, embarrassing..." The white bear scratched his head.
"It's okay, there are only two of us here." Leo smiled palely.
"Then..." Elaine leaned into Leoport's ear and whispered.
"Really?" Leoport smiled and said, "I think so too..."
"Hey...hehehehe..." the white bear man said with a red face and a smile.
"I'm a little sleepy..." Leoport whispered: "Good night, Elaine."
"...Good night, Leo." Tears welled up in Elaine's eyes, and he tried not to cry in front of the golden lion.
Then the lion boy was in Elaine's arms and closed his eyes forever. His face was filled with incomparable happiness.
"Leo..." Elaine burst into tears as she hugged the body that became cold again.
Nothing has changed. All his efforts, all his struggles, all his resistance are in vain.
No one can violate the laws of nature and bring back the dead. Because this is the truth of nature that supports the operation of all things.
"I...lai...en..."
Intermittently, a small voice sounded in the midst of the White Bear Man's wailing. It was almost covered by the crying. However, Elaine still noticed the faint light and the call that was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
A ball of light, smaller than a finger, emerged from Leoport's cold body. It was it that was calling.
A spirit body. Leoport's light soul.
Even for people with light souls, most of their light souls will dissipate after death, or enter the light world, be judged by God, and then participate in the next reincarnation as reincarnations.
Only the young lion man's faint light soul survived this time.
It's as if he doesn't want to say goodbye to this world and wants to be with Elaine forever.
"Leo..." The white bear man opened his arms, hugged him gently, and received the ball of light.
It got into Elaine's arms and integrated into his body. (To be continued)
