Su Yun stared at Zheng Ren in silence as he listened to his boss spout nonsense with a straight face.
A … mummy … Was he saying it was sick? Should I put him somewhere by the Nile River and have a good chat with the seniors who have boundless magic power? "
Of course, it was not an ordinary mummy in the video. It was a 'person' that resembled a mummy. At least in Su Yun's mind, the word 'person' was in quotation marks.
He took another look at the person in the video and quickly averted his eyes.
It was an eyesore.
Even if he stopped looking, the image of the withered 'person' still lingered in Su Yun's mind.
The skin was very white with no fat under it. The veins were shallow and protruding, and the blood flow in the blood vessels was almost visible, like worms wriggling under the skin.
Muscles could be vaguely seen through the skin, and the cheeks were deeply sunken. Su Yun felt that it was not appropriate to describe it as a skeleton or a mummy. A 3D holographic specimen? Perhaps that was more appropriate.
As a doctor, he shouldn't be afraid of specimens, but who would be able to speak confidently in front of a talking specimen without a care in the world?
Su Yun could not do that, which was why he admired his boss from the bottom of his heart.
A good surgery was not a problem, and he would catch up one day. However, he was brave enough to talk nonsense in front of a 'specimen'.
'So f * cking tiger,' Su Yun lamented. He guessed that if they were face-to-face, his boss might walk up and shake hands with the specimen.
The scene was so beautiful that he could not bear to look at it.
"Zheng, are you sure?" Christian asked calmly. He had seen Marise's expression and was certain that Zheng Ren was right.
It was strange. The face and hands had become like this, but the fat had accumulated on the lower half of the body. If Zheng Ren was right, it would be very strange.
Even Christian was a little distracted when he thought of the scene where there was no sense of balance.
"Yes, judging from Ms. Marise's expression, I think you're right." Zheng Ren's eyes narrowed even more, his eyebrows sharp like knives that pierced the sky.
On the screen, Christian and Marise didn't speak. They were as silent as two statues.
Zheng Ren did not speak either. He quickly searched for the many details of this extremely rare medical record in his mind.
There were too few relevant reports, and not much information could be obtained. But no matter how little information there was, there was still some.
After a long time, Maris said in a hoarse voice, "Dear prophet, how did you know?"
Prophet!
Su Yun was startled.
Based on his understanding, this was a very lofty title passed down in some ancient tribes. 'Calling my boss a prophet? Isn't that a bit too much …'
Christian was also stunned for a moment, and he looked at Marise in shock.
Prophet?
Prophet!
Christian knew what the word prophet meant to Maris's people. The elegant expression on his face that was like a ten thousand year old iceberg shattered and melted, but he didn't notice it himself.
"Prophet? No, I'm just a doctor. "Zheng Ren smiled honestly." Ms. Maris, you can just call me Doctor Zheng. "
"Doctor … Zheng." Maris' facial muscles seemed to be spasming. If it was someone else, the facial spasm would just be a guess.
But that was not the case for Maryse.
The contours of the muscles on her face were clearly displayed. Coupled with the protruding veins on her face, she looked like a devil that had crawled out of hell. Many of the facial muscles trembled slightly, and as the muscles trembled, the feeling of crawling veins became more obvious.
"Yes, we've established the most basic trust," Zheng Ren said. "Can you tell me your medical history now?"
"Medical history …" Maris was still unfamiliar with the term. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Doctor Zheng, if it's a disease and not a curse, what kind of disease is it?"
"I think it's acquired partial lipodystrophy," Zheng Ren said in a low voice.
"Dear prophet … Doctor Zheng, what's your judgment?" Maris asked anxiously.
"Female patient, onset in childhood. That's the first point."
"Fat loss on the face, neck, and upper limbs. If I'm not wrong, there's fat loss on the upper body," Zheng Ren said calmly. "I shouldn't have said that your fat is accumulated in your lower body, but Christian asked me to say the first thought in my mind, and that can only be this disease."
"Yes, your eyes are sharp enough to see through the infinite space and time." Maris slowly stood up, the loose black robe covering her entire body. From her appearance, she looked like the Grim Reaper, if only she had a sickle in her hand.
Maris bowed slightly to show her respect for Zheng Ren in the video.
The etiquette was strange. Zheng Ren guessed it was some kind of etiquette within her race. "You're welcome. Can you tell me your medical history now?"
"Just like you said, there's nothing different." Maris reached out with her withered hand, pulled the corner of her black coat, and tore it off silently.
Her upper body was like an African refugee, ribs protruding out one by one. Zheng Ren could clearly see the beating of her heart under her bra.
The muscles in her arms were stretched and visible, just like the muscles in her face. The shape of her intestines and peristalsis could be clearly seen on her stomach. It was extremely strange.
Her lower body, on the other hand, was like a mountain of meat piled up with fat. Her legs could not be closed together, and the space between them was filled with fat.
Her upper and lower body were two completely different people. She was like a puppet that had been pieced together by a poor craftsman.
It was also Christian's first time seeing Maris like this. He almost spat out the dark red liquid he had just drunk.
Su Yun stared at the screen in shock. He had no idea what his boss was talking about.
"It seems so," Zheng Ren said calmly. Zheng Ren said calmly, "The face, neck, upper limbs, chest, and abdomen gradually decreased symmetrically on both sides of the subcutaneous fat. Also, there is fat accumulation under the skin of both buttocks and thighs. If you go to the hospital for a blood test, you should be able to see lipid metabolism disorder and lower HDL than normal. "
"Is it a disease?" Maris murmured.
"Judging from your appearance, that should be the case," Zheng Ren said. "Everything matches. Patients with acquired partial lipodystrophy usually have abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism or kidney disease.
"Hurry up and go to the hospital. There are fewer cases, so we can't be sure if there are other diseases."
"Doctor Zheng, this disease … If it is a disease, can it be treated?" Maris asked in a trembling voice.
