Chapter 168: Surgery

Saul is polite, but his attitude is not to be refused.

Hayden struggled for a long time, but still agreed.

Because Saul added another sentence outside the door.

"Senior Hayden, do you know why an apprentice who can't be promoted to the third level at the age of thirty is being kicked out of the wizarding tower?"

Hayden's grip on the door tightened suddenly, and he looked at Thor's name tag steadily, and finally opened the door.

"Then come in, I'm not used to going somewhere else."

Thor gladly agreed, stepping into the second corpse, which was barely open to outsiders.

As soon as he entered, Thor was shocked by the layout inside.

It's too neat and clean!

Unlike Thor's messy lab bench and overcrowded cabinets, Hayden's morgue was as neat and clean as ...... Exhibition hall?

The innermost walls are lined with display cases, from the floor to the ceiling.

Each display case is fitted with a glass door that allows people to see exactly what is kept inside.

And these cabinets, from top to bottom, contain hair, eyes, nose, and ...... All the way to the feet of a person or part of a limb of another living being.

And the color is also a little darker from left to right.

Just Thor could tell at a glance that most of the limbs were not abnormal.

That is, they are all useless materials.

Hayden's tool table is also very neat, and even the conveyor belt connecting the left and right sides is clean, and there is no dirt in sight.

"Hayden's seniors are really ...... Good at storage. ”

Hayden's hands clasped together, pinching each other's mouths.

"I just like to do things."

Thor had never seen Hayden in a public class for a first-level apprentice, and he was afraid that the other party had spent all his energy in the morgue.

"Thor, isn't it because the tower owner thinks that people with insufficient qualifications will waste the resources in the tower?"

"I don't know if there's a reason for this, but the most important reason is ......" Thor druffled his voice, but stopped abruptly when Hayden couldn't hide his anxious look.

Hayden waited for a long time, and when he saw that Thor didn't speak, he immediately understood what he meant.

He stopped asking about it and got down to business.

"Thor said he was going to take something out of his eyes, can you describe its nature?"

Thor took out a few reagents from his arms.

"I've already thought about the surgical plan, and I've always had the materials I need. It's just that it's not very convenient to use the knife for your eyes, so I came over to trouble Hayden's seniors. ”

Hayden was stunned, it turned out that he was a tool man, "Okay, then what do you need me to do?" ”

Saul carefully explained the procedure to Hayden.

Hayden's mouth grew little by little, and his mind kept flying, "Is this okay?" "Really fake" and other exclamations.

After explaining the process, Thor left Hayden, whose brain was overloaded, and began to dispense potions.

He had long thought about taking out the Nightmare Butterfly's cocoon, so he had made a lot of preparations.

This time, Hayden will be in charge of the cocoon, while Thor will be in charge of the last-minute grasping and sealing.

Yes, although the person who did the surgery was Thor, he also had an important task to do.

Whether it is the experience of being inexplicably entered into his eyes after Thor got the cocoon, or the ending of the butterfly that flew away in the story and was caught by the wizard but still killed the wizard in the end, it made Thor understand that this butterfly is not a safe guy.

The good news is that Nightmare Butterfly is still just a cocoon, and the future villain has not yet grown up, and the diary doesn't suggest that it will hurt Thor.

Thor now has the option to kill it outright or retrain it.

Both options are risky, so for now, it's better to get the cocoon out first so that you don't have to be affected by nightmares continuously.

Soon he dispensed the two test tubes.

One is a pure transparent liquid with some viscosity, but the problematic flowing one does not hang on the inner wall.

The other is a purple liquid with tiny bubbles.

"Senior Hayden, are you ready? The reagent takes effect within five minutes after swallowing, and the duration of the drug is also five minutes. ”

"That's it." Hayden took a deep breath, "It's the first time I've done it to a living person, and if it hurts you...... Do you want to take another dose of pain medication? ”

Thor tilted his head and put the purple potion into his mouth.

Frowning and swallowing the aftertaste in his mouth, Thor glanced at the hourglass clock.

"No," he said, he walked over and lay straight down on the portal where the corpse had been kept, "Painkillers can affect my judgment. ”

Hayden also knew that Thor was a ruthless man, so he didn't persuade him anymore, walked to the tool table, picked up a thin needle, and began to quickly disinfect it according to Thor's request.

"Disinfection?" Hayden thought to himself, "Is this the difference between 'operating' on the living and the dead?" ”

A surgeon with the participation of both the doctor and the patient begins.

Because the doctor is still a novice to living organisms—the honest and low-key Hayden has never done live experiments at all—the patient has to instruct the doctor on how to operate on it based on his feelings from time to time.

The operation lasted four minutes and thirty-five seconds.

Although there was a panic in the middle, the total duration of the operation did not exceed the effective time of the drug.

In the last twenty-five seconds, Hayden finally used the smallest tweezers to clinch out the cocoon hidden in Thor's pupils.

He held up the tweezers, trying to see what had gotten into Thor's eyes. But as soon as his eyes fell on the little silver ball, he was attracted by this beautiful little ball.

However, a silver ball the size of a grain of rice quickly grows in size when exposed to air.

The silver skin shone like a star, and the deep and quiet feeling made Hayden look up at the stars in the wilderness.

He unconsciously immersed himself and held the tweezers closer to his eyes little by little, as if he wanted to insert them directly into his eyes.

Suddenly, a bony hand appeared in front of Hayden's eyes.

The bones rubbed against Hayden's cheek and snatched the silver ball away.

"No!" Hayden subconsciously wanted to get angry.

But when he saw Thor's appearance, his swollen brain was suddenly poured with a handful of cold water.

Thor had sat up from the portal, his left eyeframe still holding the holder that opened his eyelids.

A trail of blood spilled from Thor's eyelid and down to his jaw.

His left eye, which had been black, had now turned a dull dark gray.

Again, this is the effect of a simple treatment by Hayden.

But Thor didn't care about his currently blind left eye, and quickly threw the cocoon into the clear liquid he had concocted, and then sealed the mouth of the bottle with a wooden cork.

The clear liquid spilled slightly, and the rest filled the entire tube.

The small silver ball floated up and down in the reagent, like someone was constantly teasing it with a string.

After confirming that the sealing was complete, Thor threw the test tube to Hayden.

Hayden hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, and his heart was beating in shock.

"It was dangerous to observe like that just now, but now you can look at it."

But this time, Hayden only glanced at it, and quickly returned the test tube to Saul.

"No, no, no, although this thing has been sealed by you, it is still very dangerous to me, so I won't look at it anymore, my sanity has almost fallen just now."

This time, Hayden's posture was lowered.

He became more and more sure that Thor had surpassed him in many areas.

Seeing that Hayden had given up on observation, Thor put the test tube away.

"It's a test of willpower." Saul thought of the little girl, Penny, "But I suspect that if you are an innocent-minded person, you are not easily influenced. ”

Helen's expression was gloomy, and he couldn't reach either of these two points.

If he had been determined, he wouldn't have been just a first-class apprentice by now.

Thor picked up a roll of gauze from the tool table and wrapped it diagonally around his head, covering his left eye.

Hayden stood silently and watched, wanting to speak.

Thor knew what he wanted to ask and answered the question he had left for Hayden before entering the door.

"If a wizard stays in a certain realm for a long time, it will attract unknown horrors. The longer the dwell time, the greater the likelihood of contamination. The lower the strength, the faster it will attract terror. In order to prevent the apprentices from turning into contaminants, the Wizard's Tower regularly disperses older apprentices. ”

"Compared to other forces that turn unqualified apprentices into experimental materials when they expire, the Wizard Tower can be regarded as gentle."
