Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 30

The human brain is usually composed of left and right cerebral hemispheres, cerebral cortex, brainstem, cerebellum, cerebral blood vessels and various neural networks.

After being parasitized, what changes will happen to the human brain?
After Rhodes stripped off the gauze on John's head, he got a vivid example.

Margaret stood beside Rhodes with a kerosene lamp.

in dim light.

Rhodes held a scalpel in his left hand, cut open the rotten skin of John's head, and slowly peeled off the loose and corroded skull of John's head with his right hand.

Black mucus stained with cerebrospinal fluid was seeping from John's brain.

Swollen, twisted worms were wriggling in the cerebrospinal fluid.

The fingers wearing black leather gloves gently picked up a worm, and Rhodes quickly pinched the other's mouthparts with two fingers, crushing its head and slowly pulling it out from inside.

One after another.

John's brain was once parasitized by worms. Although Rhodes pulled out the worms, those worms had already laid eggs in it.

And with the birth of the high-level demon, it began to manipulate the parasitic individual with the help of the egg as a medium.

The only way to save John now is to remove all the parasitic worms and eggs in his body, and then cooperate with the suppressive treatment of drugs.

This is a form of therapy recorded in Robert's notes.

The risk is extremely high, and if you are not careful, the treated person will become a vegetative state or die.

But John's desire to survive is strong. At this moment, his consciousness is in a half-blur and half-awake state, biting the wooden stick, and whispering "Help me" all the time in his mouth.

Rhodes is a man full of compassion.

He will not refuse to save people he knows well.

Margaret stood aside, feeling agitated.

She watched Mr. Epidemic Doctor's operation as if she was watching a miraculous performance.

She never imagined that there are human beings who can perform such precise and complicated operations. She even felt that Mr. Plague Doctor at this moment is like a god who controls life and fights with death.

Martin's expression turned pale. He once imagined that he would have the strength to save his mother, his father, and the people he cherished.

But he has never really put it into action, and even in his opinion, those things are too complicated and almost impossible to complete.

Can humans really defeat demons?
This is the question that has been perplexing Martin.

But today, his doubts were solved.

There are indeed people among human beings who can defeat demons. Even if they cannot win in battle, they can still be redeemed through other means.

John's symptoms were being relieved as Rhodes cleaned up the worms one by one. One piece after another, the clean gauze was soaked with black juice, and the gauze was stained with some black granular things, which were eggs.

Martin came over with a large bucket of boiled and cooled water, and sprinkled some salt in it, which was requested by the plague doctor. He didn't know what the use of this thing was.

"Margaret, take a ladle of water and pour it over here."

Rhodes' finger holding the scalpel pointed at John's cerebral hemisphere, and Margaret's hand trembled.

Although she was asked by Mr. Epidemiologist to be a surgical assistant, it was the first time for her to actually do it, especially when she came into contact with such a special thing as the human brain.

She was a little nervous.

"Don't be afraid, you can think of it as a tomato seedling in your home, water it a little and it will grow faster." Rhode glanced at Margaret, and he tried to use an unconventional language To ease Margaret's tension.

Looking at the light white brain hemisphere with outlines like tofu.

Margaret couldn't relate it to the tomato seedlings at all.

She rolled her eyes, complaining in her heart that it was Mr. Epidemic Doctor's unique sense of humor.

But at this moment, the tension in her heart was indeed relieved.

Margaret picked up the gourd from the bucket.

He scooped up a ladle of water and poured it gently on John's brain hemisphere.

"Yes, it's right here, move slowly, not fast, and have more water."

"And here, the speed is faster and the water is less."

"Okay, let me clean it up again, and you will water it later."

"it is good."

Margaret breathed a sigh of relief, and she turned to look at Mr. Epidemiologist.

He is still immersed in the work of cleaning worms and eggs.

Is this what grandpa once said, the charm of a person who works hard?
Margaret stared at Mr. Plague Doctor's mask, as if she wanted to see what the person under the mask looked like.

After a complex operation, the worms and eggs in John's brain were completely removed.

Rhodes looked at John's calm expression and restored face, and waited for a while to confirm that the other party was no longer under the control of the high-level demon.

Rhodes began to apply the medicine.

Wormwood is a special anti-inflammatory and purifying medicine that is made by adding a small amount of special medicine.

Rhodes was very shocked by its efficacy. It can be said that this is a medicinal herb with rich effects, and it can be completely absorbed by the human body.

The dark herb is applied.

Rhodes began to reposition the cleaned skull back on top of John's brain.

Under the current situation, Rhodes couldn't guarantee that the anencephaly edema and intracerebral hemorrhage were completely absorbed, the two prerequisites for cranial placement, but he could only do this.

The cleaned scalp was re-sutured.

Rhodes applied another layer of medicine to John's scalp.

"Just wait, he needs to rest now. If his luck is not particularly bad, at least he can wake up. Of course, whether he will become a fool depends on his self-recovery ability."

Rhodes made his own judgment.

"Poor John." Margaret said in a low voice.

The casualties in this accident were also bad for Margaret. In the three-person team, John was injured as soon as he arrived, and the rest can only rely on her and Mr. Plague Doctor.

As a guide, Margaret didn't regard Martin as a fighting force.

"Miss Margaret, something must have happened in the village, and Mr. John was also injured. How about we go back this time?"

Martin looked at the large dead worms and the small worms still swimming in the black juice in the bucket beside him, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his back.

Just taking out so many parasites from Mr. John's head, he has reason to believe that there must be more controlled and polluted people in this village.

This terrible fact made his legs weak, and he even wanted to leave here through the tunnel immediately.

Rhodes glanced at Margaret, and he decided to tell Margaret about the matter, and it was up to her, the protagonist, to decide how to do it.

"A high-level demon appeared in the village. Those people are similar to John's situation. They were all parasitized and then lost consciousness and were manipulated."

Margaret's face was dignified. Although she had already guessed that something terrible had happened, Margaret was not absolutely sure about the existence of a high-level demon.

"Mr. Epidemic Doctor."

Margaret looked at Mr. Plague Doctor, the only person present who might be able to defeat the high-level demon.

"I'm not very good at fighting, but it's not a problem to play games with high-level demons."

Hot steam steamed out of the mask's exhaust pipe along with Rhodes' words.

The M500 did not give a warning like last time, which means it can handle it.

"In this case, Martin, you stay here and take care of John, and Mr. Plague Doctor and I will go and arrest Woda."

Margaret made her own decision.

Martin's face brightened.

Rhodes glanced at Martin.

He whispered: "Miss Margaret, I think it's better for you to stay here and take care of John. You have a certain strength foundation. In case of accident, you can take John to evacuate from the tunnel.

Martin is familiar with the way here, and it is more appropriate for him to take me to capture Voda. "

Now that he has accepted the other party's money, Rhodes will naturally provide the most reasonable plan for the guest.

On the one hand, considering Margaret's safety, on the other hand, Rhode felt that if danger really came, with Martin's personality, he would probably leave John here, slip away first, or betray him things.

It is safest to put this kind of person under your nose.
