Chapter 333: You Really Do Have a Terminal Illness
That Night Doctor immediately nodded, then turned and loudly addressed several nurses:
"You all listen to the Good Doctor's orders, be quick and nimble with your hands and feet, understood?"
"Yes!"
"Good Doctor, since that's the case, I'll leave this place to you. I still have several surgeries to perform, so I must excuse myself first!"
"Alright! Go ahead and attend to your duties!"
That Night Doctor immediately turned around, swiftly drew two knives, and hurriedly rushed toward the Critical Care Zone.
Zuo Zuo's head quickly popped out from Lynn's collar, looking up in astonishment:
"You just managed to become a doctor in the outpatient department?! Aren't you here for an internship? Shouldn't you at least start from doing miscellaneous chores?!"
Lynn adjusted his monocle and declared loudly:
"This is a matter of your perspective. You need to understand that no matter how low the position, it serves human lives. As a Night Doctor, can one really be picky and choosy?!"Zuo Zuo (|| ﾟДﾟ).
Although the words do seem to make sense.
But why does it feel like something is off somewhere?!
And Lynn didn't idle either. He immediately stood up, picked up the nearby loudspeaker, and shouted towards the large number of creatures coming and going in the Main Hall:
"Hey hey hey!! Attention all patients and family members! Look over here, look over here! Critical patients go to the other windows, mild patients all come line up at my place. Don't delay the emergency treatment for other patients. Come on, come on! Line up! Line up!"
With Lynn's booming voice, a large portion of the creatures in the bustling Main Hall immediately diverted and hurriedly walked toward his window.
The situation was indeed tight on time and heavy on tasks.
There were really too many patients from all over the world coming here for treatment through portals!
He had to start receiving patients immediately.
As soon as Lynn sat down on the small stool, a humanoid creature with several eyes came and sat down at his counter.
"Doctor, lately I've been feeling weak in my limbs, my eyes are dry, and I see things with some double vision. I don't know what's wrong with me. Can you help me take a look?"
[Ding! You have triggered the task: Diagnosis of the Multi-eyed Demon. Task completion reward: 200 Skeleton Coins, 200 basic experience points, +10 to Diagnostic Ability.]
Lynn calmly looked up, carefully observing his facial features.
He then took out a small flashlight, pried open his eyelids, and meticulously and professionally looked inside.
"From a preliminary look, there's no major problem. It should just be eye infection caused by excessive fatigue coupled with some mild malnutrition. I'll prescribe you some medicine, and you'll be fine in a few days."
That Multi-eyed Demon immediately breathed a sigh of relief, saying:
"Is that so? That's really great. As long as it's not a terminal illness, then I can rest easy..."
[Ding! Your Random Diagnosis has triggered!]
[Ding! You have discovered a malignant disease within the target's body: Yuan-devouring Parasite Infestation (Mid-stage).]
[Yuan-devouring Parasite Infestation (Mid-stage)]: A malignant disease frequently seen in creatures like Multi-eyed Demons and Beholders. It is extremely deeply hidden. Once discovered, it is usually already in the late stage and incurable. After being infected with this disease, the larvae of the Yuan-devouring Parasite will parasitize the inner side of the target's eyeballs, sustaining themselves by continuously absorbing the target's nutrition and mental energy. Once it reaches the late stage, the target will experience various hallucinations under the influence of the Yuan-devouring Parasite and eventually go insane and die.
Lynn: "..."
That Multi-eyed Demon let out a breath, stood up, and took the medicine, saying: "Doctor, I'll be going then. I wish you a prosperous business, great fortune and great profits."
"Wait a moment." Lynn stretched out a hand with his eyes closed.
"Is there something else?"
Lynn adjusted his monocle and said: "I just took another careful look at you. I have one piece of good news and one piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
The Multi-eyed Demon was startled, saying in surprise: "Uh... the good news?"
Lynn smiled slightly, adjusted his glasses, and said: "The good news is, your mouth seems to be blessed with prophetic power. You really do have a terminal illness!"
Multi-eyed Demon: "(꒪Д꒪)?!!"
[Ding! Multi-eyed Demon's SAN -10]
Lynn immediately grabbed his hand and quickly explained the disease he had diagnosed to him in detail.
"The situation is very complex. The infection in your eyes is indeed a symptom caused by malnutrition and excessive fatigue. But the deeper underlying problem is that the Yuan-devouring Parasite has damaged your body's immune system, triggering an external infection."
That Multi-eyed Demon trembled, saying: "This... this..."
"This should be a disease commonly suffered by your race. The Yuan-devouring Parasite creature most likes to parasitize creatures with large and numerous eyeballs. They slurp and suck on your brain behind your eyeballs."
"But the good news is you were diagnosed early, so the probability of survival is still quite high."
The Multi-eyed Demon subconsciously relaxed a bit, saying:
"Then what's the bad news?!"
Lynn adjusted his monocle, chuckling happily: "The bad news is, during the time we've been blabbering and chatting, the Yuan-devouring Parasites inside your eyeballs have already heard the news and started moving. They probably want to take the first step to eat your brain. Your condition has worsened again!"
Multi-eyed Demon: "(ΩДΩ)!!"
Why didn't you say so earlier!
If that's the case, then why did you blabber and chat with me for so long?!
The Multi-eyed Demon instantly stretched out a hand, urgently grabbing Lynn's wrist, saying:
"You must have a way, right?! Doctor! You definitely can save me, right?!"
Lynn nodded, adjusted his monocle, and said gently: "Rest assured. I treat all my patients as my own flesh and blood. So, there's no such thing as 'cannot be saved' here with me. You just need to put your heart at ease."
Lynn then waved over a little nurse not far away and whispered a few words in her ear.
That little nurse immediately said in surprise: "Huh?? Is this really okay?"
Lynn waved his hand and said: "Go prepare."
That little nurse immediately nodded and quickly turned to rush toward the storeroom.
Lynn adjusted his monocle and said seriously: "First, close your eyes, empty your mind, and don't think about anything. The more nervous you are, the more excited the parasites in your body become, and the harder they will violate you. Understood?"
That Multi-eyed Demon immediately hurriedly closed all the eyes on his body.
"What's next?"
Lynn glanced at the little nurse behind him who was timidly walking toward him holding a spiked club.
"Think about things that make you happy."
Lynn soothed the Multi-eyed Demon's emotions.
The Multi-eyed Demon trembled, saying: "But I don't have any happy things!"
Lynn closed his eyes and said: "It's mainly to distract your attention. If you don't have happy things, you can also think about some unhappy things. For example, your good brother and your lovely wife secretly having sex behind your back."
