Strange asked as he helped with the retractor. "I can't imagine a situation more complicated than this!"
"In the Southeast Asian ghost case, the victim's situation was even more complicated!" Chen Ang revealed a slightly frightened expression. "By the time I found the victim, it was already too late. She had been transplanted with a vengeful ghost's body, and her hair was parasitized by the vengeful ghost. The victim felt that her scalp was getting itchier by the day, and in the end, she couldn't stand the itchiness anymore.
"She scratched her scalp with all her might. She scratched until she was covered in blood, and her flesh was torn. Later, she found that there was a faint trace of hair underneath the wound, so she used a pair of scissors to peel her scalp open, and there was hair growing in her flesh. She found that the blood vessels under her arm were turning black, so she used a pair of scissors to cut it open, and it was hair again … After that, she went crazy!
"The local police station found that she was severely self-harming, and sent her to a mental hospital. A reputable local psychiatrist contacted me. When I arrived, there was hair growing all over her body tissues. She was tied to the bed, and her eyes were wide open. When I saw her, her eyeballs were also growing hair … She was better off dead than alive! "
Chen Ang raised his head and smiled. "Luckily, she bought our insurance!"
"Later, I found out that her situation was indeed troublesome. The most troublesome thing was that there was a hairy ghost parasitized in her hair. That hairy ghost had killed at least thirteen people. Its resentment and spiritual energy were very strong, and it had a high IQ. It even knew how to scare me. The difficulty of the surgery was very high! An ordinary doctor would probably be pulled into her stomach by the dense head technique right after he performed the laparotomy. "
"One of my assistants had his hand grabbed by the hair and was pulled into his abdomen! He was so scared that he dropped the retractor and struggled with all his might. I helped him cut off the hair that was tangled in his hand, and he ran away without looking back … After the surgery, I went to find him again, and helped him remove the hair that had entered his body through the wound on his right hand.
"If he hadn't run away, I could have helped him deal with it! If he ran away, I can't just leave the patient who just had a laparotomy to go and catch him, right? "Chen Ang joked.
Strange knew that surgeries were very boring. Usually, doctors would chat with patients in the operating theater. They did not like to chat with patients. Doctors who valued authority more, or patients who could not speak under general anesthesia, would chat with nurses or assistants. It was also very common for them to talk about surgical cases. The profession of a doctor was busy and boring. Aside from those old jokes, they could only talk about surgical cases.
Strange liked to chat with his assistants and talk about strange cases when he was bored during surgeries. But when they talked about such strange cases that were a mixture of horror, suspense, horror, mystery, and professionalism, he could not help but concentrate on learning from them — whether it was his experience as a doctor in surgery or his experience as a sorcerer in exorcism.
This was the first time he had experienced such a peculiar exchange that was a mixture of academic exchange and sensory stimulation.
"In such a situation … the first thing to do is to destroy the parasite's consciousness. But you must also note that in the later stages of parasitism, when the victim no longer has the ability to survive, their lives are actually maintained by the parasite. So, first of all, you must think of a way to take over the victim's life. Then, when the parasite can't react in time, you must seal or paralyze its consciousness at lightning speed. But be careful not to kill the parasite.
"Then, you must establish a cycle to maintain the victim's life. Bit by bit, you must remove the parasite's consciousness and repair the victim's body … In such a situation, it is usually very difficult for the victim to recover. At this time, we must perform some small modifications on them to ensure their survival."
As Chen Ang spoke, he had already peeled off the parasite's black thread from the membrane sheath. His technique was clean and neat, and in Strange's eyes, it was incomparably beautiful. Chen Ang used an extremely fine needle to absorb a little of the silver solution and explained, "The silver solution that has been blessed by the Holy Light will not stimulate the nerves!"
Then, he injected the silver solution into the sheath and focused his mind, controlling the silver solution to cover the nerves. Then, he took out a special laser emitter and explained to Strange, "The Holy Light Generator is made up of Holy Light rubies that have been precipitated by faith and synthesized from the prayers of at least a hundred thousand believers through a special high-energy reaction. By activating this special ruby, you can create Holy Light!"
Using the Holy Light Generator, Chen Ang shot out a pure white high-energy laser. Strange almost couldn't help but stop him. Using a laser to irradiate a patient's nerves was basically murderous.
The laser was only one-hundredth the thickness of a strand of hair. A single tremble of Chen Ang's hand could cause a deviation of hundreds of times.
Strange observed carefully, asking from time to time, "Is the silver solution used to protect the nerves?"
"Although the Holy Light is of a very high energy level, it only causes serious damage to special energy. It is completely harmless to the human body, and even beneficial. The silver solution is used to react with the Holy Light to create the special substance Holy Light Silver, which is used to protect the nerves from the damage of these fungi. This way, we can use the Holy Light to stimulate the fungi. "
The white nerves were gradually coated with a layer of silver. Under the shadowless lamp, they flashed with sacred and beautiful colors. Compared to the human body's muscle tissue and blood vessels, it was astonishingly beautiful. But only people like Chen Ang and Strange could appreciate such beauty.
Chen Ang sighed. "Every time I see such beautiful colors under the microscope, I'm mesmerized!"
"Yes!" Strange exclaimed. "It's so beautiful, it's hard to imagine … Is the Holy Silver really harmless to the human body?"
Chen Ang casually explained, "The Holy Silver Surgery is a simplified version of the Holy Silver Warriors of the Vatican. The Vatican has been entangled with the dark creatures for thousands of years. The warriors they train to hunt down the most dangerous Blood Breeds, Werewolves, and Dark Wizards are called Holy Silver … Do you know how the Holy Silver Warriors are trained?"
Strange pondered for a moment and said, "I've heard of it, but this is an absolute secret of the Vatican, so even Kamar-Taj doesn't know!"
"There's no need to keep it a secret anymore. The old method has been eliminated!" Chen Ang shook his head and smiled. "Through prayers and secret methods, the Vatican turns silver into a mercury-like silver solution, called Holy Silver. Holy Silver Warriors are people who can inject Holy Silver into their blood vessels and replace the blood in their body without dying. "
"The mortality rate of this kind of Holy Silver Warrior is shocking. First inject a little Holy Silver, and if there's no serious rejection reaction, then proceed to the next step. Continuously increase the amount of injection, and finally, all the blood in the body is silverized, turning into a Holy Silver Warrior." Chen Ang scolded. "How stupid!"
Strange couldn't help but scold the Vatican as well. "This is really a method that only idiots with silver stuffed in their brains can come up with!"
"So when the Vatican asked me to improve the Holy Silver Warrior's transformation method, I immediately discovered that this material must be extremely compatible with the human body in order to allow the warriors who use this brainless transformation method to survive. Later, I improved the production process of Holy Silver, created a new Holy Silver solution, invented the Holy Silver Surgery, and invented the Holy Light Generator."
Chen Ang said proudly, "I turned the Holy Silver into a material that is highly compatible with the human body, and can even coexist with living creatures. The current Holy Silver Plating Nerve Surgery is a simplified version of the new Holy Silver Warrior's surgery. The new Holy Silver Warrior's blood vessels are silverized, and the blood cells and Holy Silver combine, showing a beautiful silver color. They are called Silver Blood Warriors. The combat ability of Silver Blood Warriors is far stronger than the old Holy Silver Warriors, but the mortality rate is close to zero! "
"So far, there hasn't been a single case of transformation failure."
"Because of the rapid decrease in the mortality rate, the quality of the new Holy Silver Warriors is far inferior to the old Holy Silver Warriors who had gone through hundreds of battles, struggled to survive on the verge of death, and even survived the cruel transformation. But I developed further on the original Holy Silver transformation, creating the Nerve Plating Technique and the Bone Marrow Silver Technique. I developed the Silver Blood Warriors (Blood Vessel and Blood Cell Silver Surgery), the Divine Warriors (Nerve Modification Silver Surgery), and the Holy Blood Warriors who strengthen both at the same time (Blood Cell and Nerve Cell Double Modification), and finally the Half Angel (Stem Cell Silver Transformation). "
"Now in Europe, the dark creatures have been utterly defeated by the Vatican's new Holy Silver Warriors, and I have been honored as the Great Red Sage by the Vatican." Chen Ang recounted his past glory.
"Why haven't I heard of this!" Strange said in shock.
"Oh!" Chen Ang said nonchalantly, "This title has long been removed, after I created the LifeBlood Surgery for the Vampires!"
Although the two were talking about these secrets that ordinary people would not hear, their minds were still focused on the surgery, and Chen Ang's hands did not even tremble. At the place where the fungus had invaded the nerve, where the black thread and the nerve came into contact, he used Holy Light to coat the fungus with a layer of Holy Silver, and then stimulated the fungus with high-energy Holy Light, causing it to shrink and retract its tiny tentacles.
In the end, the fungus shrunk into a ball and attached to the nerve like a black tumor. Chen Ang wrapped it in Holy Silver solution, and the fungus' activity was reduced to its lowest before Chen Ang cut it off with a scalpel.
Putting the silver tumor in a container next to him, Chen Ang asked Strange to suture it while he took off his gloves and said to Jimmy Wu, "Prepare a lab for me, I want to study the nature of this fungus."
Strange asked in return, "The surgery is already a success, aren't you going to do it for others?"
Chen Ang rolled his eyes at him. "I want to study the nature of the fungus before I can invent a new surgical method to solve this problem."
Strange said, "The Holy Silver surgery was a success!"
"Universality!" Chen Ang frowned and shook his head. "I need to create a universal surgery so that any qualified neurosurgeon can remove these fungus. Do you want them to learn how to use their mind to coat it with Holy Silver? Is the precision of the Holy Light laser something that surgeons can achieve? Before your hand was crippled, you might have learned it after a few months of training, but for those mediocre people … Haha!
"Also, do you know how expensive a Holy Silver is?"
Strange looked at the used Holy Silver solution and said, "Hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
Jimmy Wu smiled and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. will pay for the surgical supplies!"
"Eighty million dollars!" Chen Ang said calmly, "Who asked those vampires to be so rich? The market price has been inflated by them, and now even the Vatican can't help but secretly sell a few every month. The blood transplant surgery I invented can be used with Holy Silver. Vampires can avoid the damage of sunlight and become daywalkers if their blood vessels are coated with Holy Blood Silver. "
"Those vampires have gone crazy to collect the surgical supplies!"
"The price I'm talking about is the market price three years ago. After I left Europe, I heard that because the American vampires entered the market, the price increased several times. The Vatican had no choice but to launch an anti-corruption campaign to punish the cardinals for stealing and selling Holy Silver. I have to find out more about the current price! "
"I'll go prepare the laboratory for the doctor right now!" Jimmy Wu no longer mentioned the reimbursement of the surgical supplies and turned to leave awkwardly!
Strange secretly clicked his tongue. As a doctor, he knew very well that a human life was priceless, but saving a human life had a cost. His subordinates had also encountered patients who could not afford the medical fees and could only wait for death. Therefore, he could understand the cost of the surgery, and he would not be like some saints who would say that saving lives was more important!
He also understood that Chen Ang, who could perform unprecedented complicated surgery, was terrifying, but to be able to simplify the surgery and make it a standard surgery that every surgeon could complete was even greater.
The person who solved difficult problems was powerful, but the person who set the standard was even greater.
