Chapter 40: Parasites
Pannis didn't use a dagger, the slender fingertips of his fingers showed fluctuations of fighting qi, if you use energy sensing to perceive, you can find that on his fingertips, the precisely manipulated fighting qi condensed into a fighting qi blade of only one centimeter, the fighting qi blade is thin and sharp, with a cold cold air on the blade, as if even the air will be torn apart by the blade.
"I'm going to cut two of her vertebrae from behind. Pannis's fingers rested on the vertebrae, and while moving slowly, his fingers moved slowly, and he muttered in a low voice: "The distance between the knife edges on both sides is half a centimeter, and the middle vertebrae are directly removed. ”
The blade of the fighting qi rubbed against the bones, making a subtle friction sound, although the sound was small, but it was extremely harsh, making people feel a burst of scalp tingling, the fighting qi blade was very sharp, and it didn't take too much effort to cut a vertebra longitudinally. Large beads of sweat also broke out on his forehead, and he whispered, "The danger is too high, and if it goes a little deeper, it will destroy the things inside." To be honest, I don't know which part of the small things in it are controlled, so I should try not to affect them or try not to affect them, otherwise if I touch a key nerve, I can't guarantee that something will happen. ”
Muttering to himself, Pannis adjusted the position of his fingers, and the tooth-aching grinding sound sounded again, and a thin cut appeared on the white cervical vertebrae again. A handkerchief with a faint floral fragrance was rubbed on Pannis's sweaty forehead, and Fraer wiped away the sweat for Pannis with her free hand, and the fragrance on the handkerchief seemed to have a calming smell, making those who smelled it feel relaxed.
"Thank you. Pannis smiled at Fraer, and with several quick swings of his right index finger, he made up for the next few knives at a dizzying speed, and cut off half a centimeter wide part of each of the two white vertebrae, revealing the space under the vertebrae: "This part is better, unlike the other side, where a lot of nerves go out of it, and this side can be removed directly after being cut off." It won't make a big difference, well, probably not, huh? ”
The two girls heard Pannis's surprised question. I couldn't help but look over, and from the gap between the two cervical vertebrae, I could see that a gray-black band was shriveled on the other side of the vertebrae. Frael frowned. Covering his mouth with his hand to prevent the breath from squirting into the incision, he asked in a low voice, "This situation is not right, this is not the case in the normal vertebrae." ”
"That's why I said it was a disease. Pannis nodded in agreement with Fraer's judgment: "If everything is normal, then do you need to cut it open?" But it is true that the difference is a bit too big, the normal spinal cord should be a soft beige cylindrical solid, it looks like her spinal cord is now almost completely shriveled and necrotic, I can't imagine that it will be so serious if I don't open it, I am really surprised that most of her internal organs can still work normally. ”
"What now. Frael asked, "Are you sure the parasite is at the cut point?" I don't perceive anything, if you're sure. How can I kill it?"
"Take it off and it will naturally die. Although Pannis said this, his hands remained motionless: "I have checked the information in the goblin research center before, this parasite is very fragile, once it loses its energy supply, it will die quickly, and it has no ability to resist. ”
"So what are you waiting for?" asked Fraer, "Oh, I probably see, it seems that it is difficult to take it off." ”
"Well, that's a big headache. Pannis's hands lifted several times to make a move. But they all put it down, and said hesitantly: "According to the information, the parasite is very likely to be connected to the victim's center or something, once forcibly removed." It will cause serious damage to this nerve, which will directly threaten the life of the parasitic person, and there is almost no chance of saving. The probability of this connection is not high, only about 20%, but this is a 20% possibility that you must be determined to gamble with Vivien's life. ”
"These questions. You should have planned it all before the surgery began. Vral asked, "It's impossible to hesitate now. ”
"Yes, I've thought about these questions for a long time and think I should bet on this time, and there are some additional factors that make me think the probability of success is far more than 80 percent. Pannis smiled bitterly and said: "However, there is still a difference between the idea and the actual operation, heh, she trusts me to deal with her life so trustingly, I ......"
"You've changed a lot, you weren't so unconfident before. Vral sighed and said, "In the past, you never stopped because of lack of confidence in yourself, why is this happening now?"
"Because I finally learned that no one can do anything. Pannis shook his head and said, "There will always be some irresistible forces that people can only face helplessly." ”
"So what?" asked Flar rhetorically, "so in the face of such force majeure, you dare not move forward?"
Pannis lowered his head, no one could see the muscles on his face twitching, as if he was enduring great pain in his heart, and was silent for a minute before he suddenly raised his head, with a calm smile on his face, and said softly: "Of course you can't stop there, even if it's an irresistible force, you have to challenge it head-on, I have already regretted it once, how can I be stupid to make the same mistake again, and let myself regret it a second time." ”
"Well, I'm ready to see you perform. Vral refocused his gaze on the crack on the back of Vivien's neck, squinted his eyes and looked inside for a long time, saying that he was looking with his eyes, but he was actually using energy perception to probe the condition inside the cervical vertebrae, and after probing for a while, the elf queen said softly: "Is the parasite you are talking about a kind of long energy body with thick ends and a slender middle? I seem to have sensed them." ”
"That's it. Pannis nodded, "The tip seems to extend into the inside of the skull, but luckily, part of the body is still exposed to the observable range." Well, you can see it now?"
"No, the disturbance caused by her own vibrations is too severe. Vral shook his head vigorously and said, "I can only have a vague feeling, I can't really see clearly at all." However, some of it has already extended into the skull, and if it is removed, it really won't destroy her brain?"
"That's why I'm betting on luck, betting that it's not directly connected to Vivien's brain. Pannis explained: "Not normally, I'm afraid she's not ordinary." ”
"It's okay to joke already, it seems that you are really mentally prepared. Vral glared at Pannis with a smile, obviously not moving, but the hunting bow placed next to her feet automatically popped a few notes, as if soundtrack to her smile: "And as you just said, there are some extras? What are the factors that affect your judgment?"
"Because I can't be sure, I need to keep it a secret. Pannis said mysteriously, "Someone once gave me a very mysterious gift, and I think it should be used here." As for whether I think it's correct or not, I'll have to try it to find out. ”
"So what are you waiting for?" Vral gave Pennis a strange look, "Well, so you've already started." ”
"Yes, here we go. Pannis still didn't make any movements, but through the energy perception, he could clearly feel that from the tips of his ten fingers, a silk of energy formed by fighting qi emanated, and the invisible silk thread was like spider silk, silently extending to the inside of the cut cervical vertebrae, and layer by layer wrapped above Vivien's shriveled spinal cord, as if wrapped around something tangible.
"Has your energy been finely manipulated to such an extent?" said Vral in admiration, "and can already be used for weaving and embroidery." ”
"Not interested. Pannis pursed his lips and moved his fingers, as if adjusting the direction and direction, until he was fully prepared for it, and then said seriously: "This is the most critical step, Vral, you must pay attention, in case of an accident, you must not let her die." And Lina, you'd better start preparing now, and after a while when my action is over, I'll immediately release the healing magic on her head, I know that if something really goes wrong, even if it doesn't make much sense, but it's better than nothing, in case you can delay it for a few minutes, and then find another way. ”
"I see. Lina had a straight face, her forehead was sweating nervously, and her voice was a little trembling and said, "Do you use the most effective magic technique?"
"The strongest effect is not necessarily the most symptomatic. Pannis explained: "The situation has been introduced to you, you can choose the most symptomatic one, well, whether there is a problem or not, just put it on, don't worry about wasting magic skills, it's better to waste it than to use it too late." ”
"I don't need to say this, I'm sure I'm not worried about waste. Lina kept taking a deep breath, and as the book was hovering above her head, she could only keep forming spell marks on her hands to strengthen her connection with the gods, her lips squirming rapidly, and she silently chanted unknown prayers. After praying for a while, the priest girl finally raised her gaze and nodded to Pannis: "Alright." ”
Pannis looked at Vral, Vral also nodded, and gave a gentle sigh, indicating that he was also ready, knowing that everything was ready, Pannis finally took a deep breath, shouted violently, clenched his hands into fists, and pulled back at the same time ten silk threads condensed by fighting energy.
