His knuckles were not hardened, making his hands look like animal claws. Although there was some stiffness due to acute intermittent porphyria, it was definitely not like what was described in papers and journals.
He was more of a patient than a vampire.
His ears were a little pointy, which was normal. Blisters began to appear on the man's face. It was obvious that it was progressing at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.
Was there not a blood transfusion?
Could there be other changes in his condition?
The man's System panel was getting redder and redder. The progress was not very fast, but after the full blood transfusion, the situation did not quickly improve.
His muscles were spasming, and there was a blister on his face … and a row of blisters on his neck.
The blisters expanded rapidly, and the edges began to turn black and die.
It was like watching a documentary and pressing the fast forward button to fast-forward the entire process of the disease's occurrence, development, and deterioration.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Su Yun asked in surprise as he looked at the man's changes.
Zheng Ren shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
It was a very strange condition. Logically speaking, blood transfusions would quickly improve. Why was this the same as throwing this porphyria patient under the sun at an extremely high altitude with abundant ultraviolet rays?
If this continued, he would really die.
Out of habit, Zheng Ren began to worry out of habit. He quickly recalled the various situations in his memory, searching for various possibilities from the knowledge obtained from books and documents.
However, the changes in the man's body were very rapid, and his condition had shown a completely irreversible change.
Although he was just a stranger, a foreigner, and most likely the infamous legendary vampire, Zheng Ren did not hesitate to enter the System and purchase surgery training time.
He entered the System's operating room, and the operating table was empty.
Zheng Ren was a little disappointed that the man was not here. His condition could not be treated by surgery, which was also expected.
Zheng Ren wanted to pause time. He wanted to understand what was wrong with the man.
Porphyria was a type of blood disease. There are many types of porphyria, but all porphyria have a common pathological mechanism, which is heme synthesis disorder.
There were a total of eight biochemical steps in the synthesis of heme. If any of the steps went wrong, it would cause heme synthesis to be blocked.
At the same time, the intermediate products, porphyrins, will accumulate to a higher concentration.
After being exposed to sunlight, especially ultraviolet radiation, these porphyrins will be activated into corrosive toxins, thus destroying surrounding tissues.
But it was dark now, and they were still in the trailer. The curtains were drawn tightly. The Man in Black's RV shouldn't have ultraviolet rays unless someone wanted to kill him on purpose.
Normally, a porphyria patient's condition would be alleviated after a blood transfusion, or even completely recovered temporarily.
But why did his condition continue to progress and not improve?
Zheng Ren fell into deep thought.
Soon, Zheng Ren found something suspicious.
It could not be said that the situation had worsened. The blister on the man's face was not progressing quickly. The long blisters on his neck changed very quickly and showed signs of necrosis.
What kind of logic was this?
He tried hard to recall. A few minutes later, Zheng Ren seemed to have remembered something. He was recreating the previous scene.
Just as he had imagined, Zheng Ren found himself habitually touching the patient's carotid artery with his hand.
The blisters and necrosis spot was the shape of the tip of his finger.
As for why, Zheng Ren was very helpless.
Chang Yue had asked him and Su Yun to peel the garlic and their hands were stained with garlic juice!
After chopping the garlic, allicin was mainly converted to diallyl disulfide and diallyl trisulfide when it was distilled with steam. When chopped garlic was soaked in vegetable oil or organic solvent, the main compounds extracted were vinyl disulfide and alliene.
For normal people, at least for Zheng Ren, garlic had become a kind of poison in the body of the man in black. It could even be said to be the kind that would kill upon contact with blood.
Zheng Ren realized that he was the one who wanted to kill him and there was no good way to save him.
Zheng Ren thought that this conclusion was ridiculous!
But it was the truth. He stood in the System's operating theater in a daze for a few minutes and finally sighed.
He hoped that the man in black was on his own.
A porphyria patient went to someone else's house and did not ask if there was garlic … Zheng Ren began to find excuses for himself.
However, he was too sensitive to garlic. Normally, patients with porphyria would not be so sensitive and would immediately get sick when they smelled volatile diallyl disulfide.
It seemed that this was another different path.
The mission had failed before it even started. Zheng Ren felt that he had completely failed this time.
He came out of the System's operating theater and saw that the man in black's entourage had increased the speed of blood transfusion. Another entourage walked over aggressively.
Su Yun's right foot was slightly backward and placed against the ground, ready to explode at any time. However, the two of them had come down suddenly and were both wearing slippers.
Their combat power had been reduced by 31.2%.
"Both of you, please leave. Sir Chris needs emergency treatment." The entourage did not make a move but his attitude was very impolite.
Zheng Ren pulled Su Yun away quickly, and the door of the limousine slammed shut in a hurry.
"Boss, I thought there would be a fight," Su Yun said.
"They wouldn't dare to do anything in the country." Zheng Ren pondered as he walked home.
"Hey, aren't you going to watch the show?" Su Yun shouted.
"Go home, quickly," Zheng Ren said in a low voice.
Su Yun found it strange. Why was his boss panicking like a stray dog?
After entering the elevator, Su Yun asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
His voice was very low. Even Zheng Ren had to spend a lot of effort to hear him clearly.
"Nothing. We have garlic juice on our hands. The emergency treatment just now worsened that guy's condition," Zheng Ren said helplessly.
"…" Su Yun's expression was very interesting. It was like a drama.
Three seconds later, he held back his laughter and blew on his face.
The black hair on his forehead fluttered.
"If he dies in the country, will we be causing trouble for the country?" Su Yun said what Zheng Ren was most worried about.
"Sigh." Zheng Ren let out a long sigh.
"It's okay. He can still do emergency treatment," Su Yun said with a smile. "Are you going home to wash your hands and get rid of the evidence?"
"It's to prevent the patient from being poisoned again," Zheng Ren said.
"Well, you speak Dutch well. In other words, you just touched someone's girlfriend's butt, so you should hurry up and run away. Don't leave any evidence." Su Yun finally could not help but laugh.
How could he still be so frivolous at a time like this?
Zheng Ren felt very helpless.
