Chapter 24: I'm Poisoned
"I'm sorry, Eve, I'm ...... I didn't know you were home. ”
John was a little unable to face Eve, and the woman in front of him was at a loss.
If it wasn't necessary, John didn't want to search for the memories of his predecessor, he wanted to live his life according to his own wishes, but the established facts caused by his predecessor sometimes really had to be faced.
"Hey, Cheever, you're going to leave again?" Eve looked at him.
The old bastard had been gone for three years, and for three years there was no news, and he didn't know where he went, until he was about to forget about him, and suddenly appeared in front of him again.
John: "Actually, I'm here to give you this house." ”
Originally, he wanted to come back to see the doctor and take a look at the house and sell the house.
There are too many properties in four houses, and it is a waste to keep those you don't like, but the predecessor made a sin, and used Eve as a girlfriend to cover up and use her, so at least you have to give some compensation.
He can't make a fortune selling a house, and he still has 2 million US dollars from Vigo, and in less than ten days, he can get a retirement check of more than 8.2 million US dollars from Damocles, and it is really nothing to give away a property.
Eve: "Really? ”
She didn't have the right to the property, but she couldn't be contacted since John left three years ago, so she took advantage of the situation.
Los Angeles is a big city, and having a house can help a lot in life, and Eve's meager income from working in a nightclub can't afford the expensive rent.
John: "yes. ”
Eve: "Oh, baby, I love you to death. ”
She was overjoyed, she was satisfied with having a house of this size in Los Angeles, and all her complaints about John had vanished.
……
Accompanied Eve to handle the transfer documents, John had a couple meal with her in Chinatown.
Restaurant corner.
"Hey, Ricky, do you think that old man is the guy the boss told us to find?"
Ricky touched his bald head, "Where?" ”
"Right there by the window, the one who was eating with the woman."
Ricky pulls out a photograph of John's frontal portrait.
Ricky: "Oh, it's really him, Cheever Charles." Hector, you have really good eyes. ”
Hector: "Hehehehehe. ”
Ricky: "Brother, you keep an eye on him, I'll call the boss, we're getting rich this time!" ”
……
After the couple's meal, John drove Eve home.
Eve: "Hey, dear, I'll go to work tonight, I'll rest tomorrow, you must come tomorrow, I'll cook for you." ”
John: "Okay, I will." ”
Eve gave him a kiss, and then happily went home and closed the door.
John shook his head.
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number from memory.
"Hey, hello, I'm Dr. Miles' assistant, how can I help you?" A female voice came from the phone.
John: "I'm John Wick, and I have something important to look for him. ”
As far as I can remember, Dr. Myers was a highly skilled personal physician who specialized in some shady surgeries, and he was an old friend of his predecessors for more than 20 years.
After John announced his name, it wasn't long before a familiar voice rang out from the other side.
"Hey, John, my old friend, what's the matter?"
John: "I'm in trouble, I'm in a really bad condition, and I want you to take a look at it for me." ”
It's not impossible to go to a big hospital for examination, but this thing is very unscientific, once exposed, in case it is investigated by Lao Mei's slice, it is not worth it.
Miles: "Okay, you come to my clinic, do you remember the address?" You haven't been to Los Angeles in three years. ”
John: "I'll be there for you in fifteen minutes." ”
……
Fifteen minutes later.
John came to Myers' clinic and was examined in all aspects.
Miles: "John, you're in a bad condition. Can you tell me, why do you have such symptoms? ”
John was ashamed to say that he devoured something he shouldn't have devoured in order to gain great power?
"I ...... I ate a ...... Very bad stuff, and that's it after that. ”
That's all John can say.
The truth can't be told to Dr. Myers at all, it's not a matter of trust, it's about protecting old friends, and it's not good to know what you shouldn't know.
Miles: "You ate something?" Is that so? ”
"yes," John nodded, "what happened to my body?" ”
Miles: "Your body is attacked by an unknown chemical that stimulates your glands and causes your body to produce adrenaline all the time, and the consequences are ...... You can become manic and even have intermittent shock. ”
John nodded his head, and he was so right, in the past few days, in addition to beating a few people, he had fainted three times.
John: "So what the hell happened to me?" ”
Miles: "You're poisoned. ”
"Poisoned?"
Damn it!
The mutated gland is obviously poisonous, and the system is still marked as edible, so I was really trapped.
Am I going to be the first host in history to be killed by the system?
John: "Is there a cure?" ”
Miles shook his head.
I can't figure out what chemicals are at work, so how can I prescribe the right medicine?
John was speechless.
Since even Miles can't do anything, then the big hospitals can't do it better.
Conventional treatment, declared a failure.
"However, there is another way to cure it." Miles said again.
John: "What's the method?" ”
Miles: "Fight poison with poison!" ”
"Fighting poison with poison?!"
"Yes!" Miles nodded, "I already understand the mechanism of your poisoning, the toxin mainly acts on your glands, promoting the secretion of adrenaline by the glands. We just need to find another toxin, inhibit the secretion of the gland, and the two toxins will be neutralized, and your symptoms will be relieved. ”
John: "What is the toxin that could save my life?" Can you get it? ”
Myers: "It's called the 'Oriental Cocktail', and the toxicology is to inhibit the production of ephedrine, reduce the secretion of adrenaline, make people's blood vessels 'rust', magnify the time of death, and it is very painful." You can try looking for it on the black market, but it's quite expensive, so you'll need to be prepared with plenty of money. Also, fighting poison with poison is only a theoretically feasible solution, and it is not necessarily safe, so I don't recommend you to do it unless you have to. ”
John: "Thank you. ”
Miles has already done himself a great favor, and as for security, there is no need to worry about it at all.
[Demon's Embrace] (One-Eye Drop) grants you unparalleled recovery abilities, increasing your [Stamina] attribute void by 300%, greatly improving your resistance to deadly attacks.
With such a strong characteristic protector, it will not die.
This is the greatest benefit of eating mutant glands, and of course the price is just as severe.
John plans to take some time out of the day to inquire on the black market and see what this 'Oriental cocktail' is all about.
