Chapter 176 "Stigmata"
The next day, at 10 a.m., No. 301 Hospital in Beiping, China.
This symbolizes the pinnacle of clinical medicine in China. It is the best hospital in the country and has the best medical resources in the country.
If the disease still cannot be treated here, it is probably hopeless.
"Drink some water. You will be very thirsty when you wake up after the operation, and it is exactly 4 hours now. You will have to stop drinking water after a while."
Sitting in the car heading to the hospital, Xu Lin handed Astoria a thermos cup.
"Thank you, I'm not thirsty".
Astoria politely rejected Xu Lin's kindness, and then looked at the scenery outside the car window in ecstasy.
It's still snowing in China these two days, but it's just a flurry of light snow instead of the blizzards of the past few days.
However, the light snow has been falling, and Xu Lin and the others even suspected that this was still a conspiracy of the group. However, after detailed investigation, they found that this was a natural phenomenon.
So on the wide streets, city workers are still working hard to clear away the snow to ensure normal traffic on the roads.
The trees on both sides of the street are covered with thick white snow. The tree hangings that can only be seen in the north have become the most beautiful scenery on the street.
"Where's Zhang Qi?"
Astoria looked at the street scene outside and asked softly.
Her original name was Zhang Qi Hilbert, but everyone around her called her Zhang Qi, and Astoria ended up calling her that.
"He needs to go to the hospital in advance to make some preparations in advance."
Xu Lin replied, then touched the bag beside her left foot unnaturally.
There seemed to be some metal object inside the bag, which made a clanking sound as the car occasionally shook and collided.
"Don't think too much, because there is no use in thinking too much."
Xu Lin patted Astoria on the shoulder, and then continued:
"As long as adequate preparations are made for everything, accidents are very rare."
"Aunt Xu Lin, have you ever experienced the feeling of approaching death?"
Astoria suddenly asked.
"Me? Of course."
Xu Lin was stunned for a moment, then answered without hesitation.
"So what exactly happened?"
Astoria asked curiously.
"That was more than ten years ago in the southern border of China. At that time, a 7.62mm bullet left a white scratch on my helmet, and then broke a small tree behind it. That was almost the closest I came to death. Once again."
Xu Lin told the scene at that time without changing her expression.
As long as the bullet at that time was just a little bit downwards and upwards, the final outcome should be that the bullet penetrated the helmet and the head underneath.
"I have been struggling with that nightmare dream since I was seven years old. Although I am no longer troubled by nightmares, I still can't forget everything I experienced at that time."
Astoria rested her head on the linen backrest and opened the window.
Fresh cold air poured into the car, and the silver-white hair was gently blowing in the wind.
"Every time I fall asleep is a battle. In the past four years, I have never lost in the daily life and death race, but I will never forget that hellish feeling."
"England doesn't have as many alchemical medical devices as you do here, and I don't have a bloodline as strong as yours that can offset part of the curse, so I can only hide and seek with that big snake in the maze in my dreams day after day. Until I find the exit, or It’s what kills me”…
"Since some things have passed, it's better not to think about it. If you are willing, Astoria, I can introduce you to the best psychiatrist in China."
Xu Lin looked at the stubborn girl in front of her, and for the first time, a look of distress flashed across her face.
"Actually, to a certain extent, I am content. After all, I will not live to be an adult. I am very happy to be able to spend a small period of happy time"...
The girl showed a sunny smile.
The vehicle continued to drive along the road that had just been cleared of snow. Not far away, at the end of the road, a huge snow-white building stood there silently.
"Shenzhou No. 3 Hospital".
…………Dividing line…………
"Female patient, 11 years old, in good health with no past medical history, surgery under general anesthesia."
"Anesthesiologist administers medication"!
"The radio wave curve is normal"!
"The blood supply to the whole body is normal"!
"Put a towel on the bed and send it to the operating room"!
…………
"Today is a tough battle. Everyone must be at 120% and don't make any mistakes!"
In the control room on the first floor of the main building, Xu Lin picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted into it:
"Attention all groups, start patrolling"!
"Actually, I have never understood, Ms. Xu Lin, why does China place such a large security force around the operating room? Could it be that someone else will come here to attack?"
Dumbledore looked at the soldiers patrolling in groups of three in the corridor and asked in confusion.
"I just hope that we don't encounter the things we planned."
Xu Lin did not answer Dumbledore directly. She picked up the enamel tea jar on the table and drank half of the jar of water. She kept staring at the closed-circuit surveillance screen while drinking water.
In the 90s, cameras were completely popular in state-owned enterprises and large units, as well as all confidential units, and the resolution could basically reach the current level.
"Wear surgical gown"!
After going through layers of disinfection, Zhang Qi entered the operating room wearing a light blue surgical gown.
Following closely behind him were Mr. Zou, Mr. Nico Flamel, and the respected surgical professor.
"The equipment is complete and the operation can begin."
The old professor took inventory of the equipment, and then nodded heavily.
"burin"!
Zhang Qi stretched out his right hand, and a military doctor specially transferred from the night duty force immediately handed over the black carving knife.
"Don't be nervous, just treat it as a normal practice."
Nico Flamel warned, holding a sterilized spray bottle in his hand.
It contained a stabilizing potion, prepared by Snape.
To be fair, Nico Flamel thought that his knowledge of potions was superb, but when he saw this bottle of potion, he still felt ashamed.
In the eyes of geniuses, no matter how diligent you are, it is basically impossible to reach the situation they can reach.
Zhang Qi took the sharp carving knife and gently brought the tip of the knife close to the snow-white skin under the towel.
The pig skin used in the exercise will not bleed, but the real person will.
This is a test for the surgeon's state of mind.
"brush"!
Zhang Qi moved quickly, and the sharp blade cut through the skin, cutting through the flesh and blood underneath like a paper knife cutting paper, leaving complicated marks on the originally smooth back.
Blood slowly gushes out, but is quickly washed away by saline.
Characterization is only the first step, and the main event has not yet begun.
Everyone's eyes slowly focused on the syringe on the plate.
