Chapter 937: Looking for the Netherworld in the Center of the Earth (10)
Shadow Walker knew he had lost his composure and immediately lowered his voice again: "What is this? It's strange that the scanner can't scan it. It's completely black here---"
"What is that? Machine failure?" King Arthur's voice came closer.
Shadow Walker fiddled with the machine, with doubts in his words: "Why? An MRI scanner that can completely dialyze the human body also has things that cannot be scanned? ---Wait a minute, I will increase the power and enlarge the image.
have a look."
"Hal, don't move, we need to conduct a precise scan." King Arthur reminded loudly.
"Yeah, meow." The leopard boy agreed, but his heart was full of uneasiness.
Countless rays of light in the scanner focused on the chest of the leopard boy... scanning back and forth near Hal's heart. The high-precision scanning transmitted the enhanced image to the other end of the scanner, projecting the image of the body's interior on the display.
on the screen.
"Hmm---" The two adults outside took a deep breath, but this breath was almost covered by the noise of the scanner's operation, and Hal only heard it slightly.
"What on earth is this?" Arthur asked in the lowest voice. He focused his eyes on a black shadow the size of a fingernail on the heart of the leopard boy.
"It may be some kind of metallic foreign object that electromagnetic waves cannot pass through, so it turns into this black shadow in the image."
"Are you sure?" The King of Knights became even more confused, with a hint of criticism in his tone: "Vivian also did a thorough physical examination of the child. We hadn't discovered this black thing at that time. Why, only now?"
Appear in the scanner image?"
Shadow Walker didn't answer. This was really weird, so weird that it couldn't be explained by today's science.
Having said that, this thing has been extremely weird from the beginning. Why did a good young leopard man lose most of his internal organs for no reason and become like this lingering appearance now? Moreover, there are no traces of surgery on his body.
The internal organs just disappeared into thin air. Is this really possible?
Shadow Walker swallowed and brought his consciousness back to reality from meditation and confusion: "Anyway, let's try to take it out first."
"No. Although you are his attending doctor, you try to operate on little Hal without Vivian's consent? Vivian will not only kill you, but also come after me. Absolutely not allowed
."
Shadow Walker was stunned for a while. Indeed, King Arthur's eldest sister is a succubus with powerful power and a very fierce personality. She is by no means the type that can be easily provoked.
"Well... no surgery is needed, but we still have to find out what that black shadow is. If it is a metal fragment such as a bullet, we still need to arrange an operation as soon as possible to take it out, otherwise it will cause infection, inflammation and other problems.
."
"After talking for so long, you just want to cut open Little Hal's chest?" King Arthur's face turned dark, although most of his face was hidden under the mask: "Do you really want to die, Constantine?"
"Calm down, Your Majesty." Shadow Walker cleared his throat with a dry cough, "I don't need to use a scalpel to cut open his chest to find out what the shadow is. We can do a minimally invasive surgery and put a band on
A probe with a micro camera was inserted into his body, and the probe was used to observe the conditions inside his body."
"oh---?"
"I promise, this operation is very safe. The diameter of the needle is only one-thirtieth of an inch, and the punctured skin and flesh tissue can be healed instantly with magic. Everything is perfect. Your Majesty's sister Vivian can't even notice that we have done this."
I had this minimally invasive surgery."
King Arthur thought about it again, trying to find anything inappropriate in it, but he didn't think of it for a moment. Modern medical technology has become very advanced, and the safety of this type of minimally invasive surgery is still very guaranteed.
"...Okay, I'll do whatever you say." The King of Knights compromised. He was actually very curious and wanted to know what the black shadow on Hal's chest was.
"Then------" Seeing that the matter was settled, Shadow Walker turned off the scanner and pulled out the mechanical bed in the scanner: "Boy, let's discuss something."
As soon as the Leopard Man boy got up from the bed, he muttered with a hint of fear: "Howl heard meow."
"Hmph... just right, I'll save you the time to explain." Shadow Walker secretly cursed the orcs' hearing for being too good, too good: "We used instruments to scan and found a small black shadow on your chest.
.We have no way of knowing what it is, and we are very worried now. Therefore, I am going to perform an operation on you, insert a needle with a camera into your chest, and see what the shadow inside is. I say this, you
Are you willing to accept it?"
The leopard man boy looked at Shadow Walker tremblingly: "Dr. Black Heart...will this operation be successful? Is it as painful as an injection?"
"It will hurt a little, but I will give you anesthesia first, so it won't hurt. And I am very confident in my medical skills. I can make the needle avoid major blood vessels and nerves, and you will hardly feel it when the needle goes in."
pain."
"You're lying, meow..." the leopard boy pouted and said, "the anesthesia injection is already painful enough, meow."
"Who said we need an anesthesia injection?" A smile appeared on the corner of Shadow Walker's mouth: "I have a special anesthesia method that doesn't require injections at all. For example---"
He reached out and patted the Leopard Man boy's left shoulder: "This will make your shoulder numb."
"What, what?!" Hal exclaimed in disbelief one second, and the next second he began to feel an astonishing numbness spreading on his arm. The leopard boy's left arm was completely unable to move in an instant.
He even felt that he could no longer move his left chest, and the left side of his body no longer seemed to belong to him!
"Uh, what, what, meow---" It seemed that even the nerves on half of his face were numb, and the leopard boy began to find it difficult to speak.
"Relax, just relax." Shadow Walker picked up the leopard boy who was starting to limp and said, "Your Majesty, come here and help me and carry him to the operating bed opposite."
"Huh huh." Arthur took over the job from the doctor, picked up the little black panther and moved it forward, while whispering comfort: "Everything will be fine, Hal. This man is the best under my command."
Doctor, he will cure you and not harm you."
"Hmm..." The anesthesia seemed to be more effective than expected. Half of the Leopard Man boy's body became unconscious, and even his head was a little groggy. He knew that he actually had no room for resistance, even if he said
Even if he doesn't want to, the other party will still perform the operation. The only thing he can do now is to make up his mind and trust his uncle Arthur and this black-hearted doctor.
When the King of Knights placed the little panther on the operating table, Shadow Walker also quickly prepared all the surgical equipment needed, walked over and looked at the young leopard man: "Are you ready? Then I will start the operation.
."
When he put on his white robe, mask and rubber gloves, he seemed to look a little bit like a doctor. The Leopard Man boy swallowed hard: Entrusting his body to this black-hearted doctor, really
No problem?
Hal's eyes were covered with a blindfold and he could not see anything. This was also for the sake of the Leopard Man boy, because seeing his chest being pierced by a long needle would inevitably make ordinary people feel uneasy.
An oxygen mask was also placed over Hal's mouth. The steady supply of pure oxygen made people feel happy and think in an optimistic direction.
Anyway, he can neither see nor feel, so what's the problem with all this?
The leopard boy simply closed his eyes tightly and allowed the situation to develop freely.
After shaving a small area of hair on the chest of the Leopard Man boy, Constantine picked up a silver needle about five inches long. There was a sophisticated camera instrument hidden in the tip of the needle, and the tail of the needle was a signaling device that sent signals through radio waves.
The scene captured by the camera is transmitted to the monitor nearby and displayed on the screen.
This is a high-tech technology that has only emerged in Great Britain in recent years and is at the forefront of the medical field. Using a probe to detect lesions in the patient's body is convenient and cost-effective and can minimize the patient's pain.
The only problem is to operate carefully to avoid the probe breaking inside the patient's body - but this is almost impossible, after all, the probe is made to be extremely flexible and strong.
Shadow Walker carefully picked up the silver needle and placed it on the planned surgical site.
The needle tip pierced the flesh and penetrated, not even the tiniest drop of blood came out.
"Help me monitor it." Shadow Walker said in a commanding tone. He was concentrating. Even if this was a minor operation, he could not be distracted.
Arthur walked to the other side of the operating table and observed all the images captured by the pinhole camera on the screen.
Constantine was worthy of being a surgeon with the hand of God. He skillfully controlled the movement of the needle to pierce the muscle tissue, avoiding the main blood vessels and nerves, and headed straight for the black shadow in the chest of the Leopard Man boy.
This process actually only lasted a few seconds, but it seemed extremely slow. In other words, King Arthur was so focused on watching that he could not feel the passage of time at all.
He looked at the scene on the display screen, watching the needle avoid various blood vessels and nerves, and pass through the gaps in the muscle tissue. The faint light from the tip of the probe illuminated the "forward path" in Hal's body.
It gives people the feeling of wandering in a different world.
As the probe went deeper and deeper into the Leopard Man boy's body, more blood vessels and nerves appeared on the screen blocking the way. But they were all cleverly avoided - the probe passed between the dense capillaries.
, but can always avoid hurting these blood vessels, someone's technique is like a god.
Then, it arrived.
After passing through the pectoral muscle of the Leopard Man boy's left chest and various mucosal tissues in the chest, the probe's needle arrived at the predetermined location, half an inch away from Hal's left ventricle.
Through some kind of perspective ray light, Arthur could see Hal's huge, actively beating heart from the screen.
But to a needle, the heart is as huge as a mountain, and from the current distance, it is impossible to see its entirety clearly.
Arthur's eyes fell on the shadow area discovered by the scanner before.
He thought he would see bullet fragments, or some kind of metal implant, or a tumor, or a diseased cyst... something like that.
But he guessed completely wrong.
The image of "that thing" in front of him was far beyond the scope of the King of Knights' imagination.
