Gu Jun put on the protective suit before hurrying back to the sickrooht back into question After all this was not a nore of a transmutative disease When he returned, Xie Yiman was more sentient than when he left her as she called out his name once she saw him, “Captain Gu, Captain Gu!” Gu Jun noted for himself the new facial symptoms that Uncle Dan described on the way back The infected area on the patient’s face expanded The irregular erythened the According to this rate, the rash would be all over the patient’s face by to Further above the erythema The white epidermal layer cracked to resemble little red flecks of scales

Gu Jun saw an illusion of this illness spreading to every inch of the patient’s skin and the edematous would exacerbate until the skin completely fell off It would be a case of derirl Gu Jun saw in Xie Yiman’s mental world However, after the human skin was removed, a new dermal layer would replace it, a scale-like keratinized skin with different pigmentation

“So itchy, so e in her mental state, “They have crawled to other places Please help me…” Gu Jun conducted some inspection and he turned aith a frown

“The patient probably has entered the second stage” He infore is probably the prodro the Mutated Scale Disease has greatly increased” Even though currently Xie Yiman was the only one with this new symptom, this proved some dire facts This was ical abnormality The doctors were faced with probleical system that current medicine did not understand that much

Mutated Scale Disease, if this hat it is, was not good news Gu Jun reminded the command central to take a sample of Xie Yiman’s scale-like skin flakes to ht back from the Drea the Deep Ones would be the breakthrough but the damn system still had not provided hi them

Once Xie Yiman’s new symptom appeared, the experts at headquarters and He Bei City’s People Hospital had to discuss new treatment methods

“Ah Jun, we have to consider the possibility of surgery” Zhang Donghai told Gu Jun, “The condition of the patient is worsening too fast, we can’t waste anymore time” Now they were faced with mainly two solutions One was to sever the patient’s ical source, which was supernatural-based; and the other was to slice off all the mutated skin and transplant them with new skin, which was based in modern medical science

“We can start with radiofrequency rhizotoe Haidong suggested When they dealt with Nightery meant to destroy the patient’s central stehtreatly reduce the speed of radation Now thisthe facial nerves on the patients of Mutated Scale Disease

The second method could prove effective too Once the diseased tissue was removed, the illness would be manually extradited fro patients of Malforical illness, excision of the old skin would not help anything Therefore, when both solutions proved equally unreliable, the team of doctors leaned towards the former The main reason was radiofrequency rhizoto, short formed as RFL from now on) had a lower risk

“Hative consequences froeminus was a complex nervi cerebralses, it has three nerval functions: pain, touch and e For exaic patients

The treatment theory is very simple, the electrode will be inputted into affected nerve clusters to destroy the nerves ending that cause pain while leaving the nerves endings responsible for touch and motor function untouched When your brain cannot receive the pain stiical effect ht not always be idealistic Soery They suffered froht even influence the , and even breathing difficulty

For now, the ery that would only maintain the eested they operate on The second RFL was meant for nervus facialis—this was a complex nervi cerebralses that mostly monitored the facial motor skills that manifested facial expressions Its destruction would cause facioplegia Basic expressions like arching the brows, puffing the cheeks and pouting would be i star on the rise, ruining these two nerves would equal to ending her career Was that so she could accept in her current mental state?

“Ah Jun, do you think we should explain the co at the command central asked Gu Jun was silent This was a conundruht ive the dark forces the chance to fester When she found out her life had been ruined without her permission, the consequence would be horrible…

“Let me think about it…” Gu Jun could not make the decision “I feel like this kind of decision should be made by the patient herself…”

“Then you should help her consider it” Zhang Donghai showed coement, “We doctors are tasted with jobs like that too” How to deal with the patient’s psychology, how to explain the necessity of the surgery and how to ease the patient’s tension pre-surgery was one of the doctor’s main responsibilities

This task was handed over to Gu Jun because Xie Yiman was his patient For the other 155 patients, despite their celebrity status, the govern to show them preference The command central had already selected 45 individuals for RFL The 45 individuals were selected froes of illness, to complete the saroups, 15 patients per group The first group would have their trigeroup their nervi facialis and the third group both Another control group would be set up for comparison

At the same time, other patients were sent into other preparatory experiroup was planned for sensory rhizotoery If RFL did not work, they had to go for a er risks and roup was planned for dermatomy and skin transplant They had to cover all bases

However, Xie Yiman’s treatment would be left in Gu Jun’s hands As the only patient with the second stage of illness, her condition was very unique At the prodroht work but perhaps not at her stage Not all patients had the choice of accepting or denying surgery, but Gu Jun wanted to give Xie Yiht However, he also understood that this illness was more than just one Xie Yiman, it had consequences that could be felt all over the world Before returning to the sickroom, Gu Jun found Wu Siyu to chat, he unloaded upon her his sense of loss

“So anything is possible and no one knoill happen” Wu Siyu concluded, “I finally understand why I chose not to be a doctor” She patted his shoulders, “Dirty-ive her hope I would show her the picture of you as the Nightolden aloe with her Show her the hope that her facial palsy could be treated Tell her about the Great Atal and hoerful he is, he ht have ways to treat her”

“That will indeed make her feel better…” Gu Jun concurred “With hope, there’s a reason to live and technically I won’t be lying”
