"Brother Lin, you know how to treat illnesses as well? How co I didn’t know?" Zhou Botong looked at him in surprise, amazed.
Lin Tian couldn’t bother with this surprised fellow and placed his fingers on Mr. Qi’s wrist, which felt dry and cold like touching a corpse.
This condition, even more like a zombie than , Lin Tian thought.
At the sa ti, he activated his x-ray vision, scanning Mr. Qi’s body from the skin to the underlying layers, all the way to the organs and the flow of blood and qi.
"Huh?" Lin Tian just scanned once and let out a puzzled noise.
"What’s wrong with him?" Zhou Botong asked curiously.
"Am I beyond help?" Mr. Qi asked dejectedly.
Lin Tian thought for a mont and explained using simple Huaxia dical theory, "Your pulse condition is very strange; it’s strong at tis and weak at others. The strangest part is that your blood and qi flow is several tis more vigorous than that of an ordinary person, which is why your strength now is also much greater than that of an ordinary person."
The two n appeared confused, not understanding at all what he ant.
Lin Tian had no choice but to explain, "It’s not best for a person to have too vigorous blood and qi; balance is what’s best. Mr. Qi is not an Ancient Martial Artist, and such vitals should not occur in him. Therefore, his vigorous blood and qi are just superficial; in fact, his body can’t withstand it and is already overdrawn."
Zhou Botong blinked, and suddenly said, "Brother Lin, can you speak in plain language? I can’t understand a word."
"Damn, ignorance is really scary, I’ve said it so plainly and you still can’t understand." Lin Tian felt very disdainful, then added, "Simply put, Mr. Qi’s tabolism is too fast, which is why his hair and fingernails grow so quickly. But a tabolism that’s too fast ans that his body’s cells go from new to dying in a very short ti, which ans his aging speed is very fast, and his internal organs have already started failing to various degrees!"
Lin Tian spoke very fast, leaving Zhou Botong dumbfounded. Could this guy be the reincarnation of a Divine Doctor? Otherwise, how could he be so young and yet know so much?
"The hospital specialists also said I have organ failure." Mr. Qi said, but his eyes shone with a glimr of hope.
Because a large hospital diagnoses through various devices and expert consultation to reach a conclusion, but Lin Tian knew the detailed situation just by taking the pulse, so Mr. Qi saw hope.
Zhou Botong also said, "Since you already know what it is, it should be treatable, right?"
But Lin Tian shook his head, frowning, "You misunderstand what I’m saying, I know only the symptoms of the illness, not the cause. Without finding the cause, there is no way to cure it. This isn’t a common cold that you can heal just by taking so dicine!"
Mr. Qi had just felt hopeful, but it was now ruthlessly dashed, making his already pale face even more desolate.
"Could it be that I’ve done too many bad things, and the gods want to punish ?" Mr. Qi said with a mournful expression.
The gods really are innocent, having to be blad every ti sothing bad happens, Lin Tian felt speechless.
The Heavenly Dao is the most rciless, treating all things as re straw dogs; it doesn’t care whether you are good or bad, treating everyone the sa.
"Stop blaming the gods, you were betrayed by soone, and I haven’t said that it can’t be treated." Lin Tian said.
"You can cure ?" Mr. Qi exclaid with surprise.
"To conclude that it cannot be treated without identifying the cause is premature. If the cause is found and it still can’t be treated, then it would truly be hopeless. So, you haven’t reached a dead end yet, no need to be nervous," Lin Tian casually comforted him.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Qi suddenly burst into tears, choking up as he said, "Lin Tian, thank you. I always made things difficult for you, and yet you’re still willing to help now. I am such a jerk. If I can recover, from now on you will be like my second parents to . I would be willing to do anything for you."
At the brink of death, suddenly given a sliver of hope to live, most people would feel this gratitude and desire to repay. However, Lin Tian didn’t take it seriously, if you want to thank anyone, thank your father. I’m just working for money and it just so happens my goals align with dealing with your issue, that’s all.
Lin Tian planned to do a thorough check-up once more, as human body structures are too complex, and sothing might have been overlooked. Based on Mr. Qi’s partial mory loss symptoms, he focused his inspection on the head this ti.
Lin Tian was quite familiar with the structure of the head, having treated Zuo Hongyi before, and brain-related diseases are the most troubleso because of the brain’s complex structure.
Under the penetrating gaze, there were no signs of external injuries on Mr. Qi’s head, which was quite strange. While brain damage can have other causes, most are due to trauma, that is, severe impact, but Mr. Qi had not been injured.
Another possibility is severe oxygen deprivation in the brain, which can also cause damage, but strangely, there was no damage in Mr. Qi’s brain either.
Damn, this is too strange. Could it be that he is possessed? Lin Tian was puzzled, raised his hand, stroked his chin in thought, but his gaze continued to sweep over Mr. Qi’s head.
Mr. Qi and Zhou Botong saw Lin Tian deep in thought and didn’t dare to interrupt him aloud.
"Eh..." Lin Tian let out another curious sound, spotting sothing unusual.
At the position of Mr. Qi’s brainstem, Lin Tian found a very tiny gray-white dot. Since the brainstem is located below the brain, connecting the brain and spinal cord and is very small, coupled with the dot being the sa color as the brainstem, Lin Tian initially didn’t pay it much attention. However, at that mont, expanding his penetrative scope, the anomaly in the brainstem beca apparent.
Lin Tian narrowed his penetrative scope, focusing on that abnormal little dot, and suddenly, the true appearance of the dot beca clear.
"Holy shit!" Lin Tian exclaid. Not expecting much initially, he got a real shock when he took a closer look – that thing was not just so small dot, it was clearly a living creature!
"Brother Lin, what have you found?" Zhou Botong asked in surprise, also startled by Lin Tian’s reaction.
Lin Tian gestured with his hand for him to be silent and began to study this creature closely.
The creature was very small, smaller than a strand of hair, lacking eyes and mouth or other organs, and completely covered with even tinier tentacles than its body. The slim tentacles were attached to the brainstem, burrowing into the brainstem tissue, slowly squirming.
Disgusting, how on earth did this thing end up growing inside Mr. Qi’s brain? Lin Tian felt his stomach churn, almost vomiting out yesterday’s dinner.
In the past, he read news articles about people who had eaten raw fish and ended up with brain parasites; surgeries revealed multiple parasites, the re thought of which was nauseating. Lin Tian was witnessing what brain parasites looked like firsthand.
Typically, parasites are long and reside within the brain’s fluid tissues; however, this parasite was not ordinary. It was tiny, with tentacles deeply embedded into the brainstem tissue, almost penetrating the entire brainstem tissue.
This kind of situation, even with surgery, could not be easily extracted, unless the brainstem itself were removed. Moreover, who knows what might happen if the parasite were stimulated?
If the parasite beca aggressive and sucked the entire brainstem dry, then it would literally be a ’brainstem’ in the real sense. Mr. Qi’s other parts were fine, only this parasite was exceptional, most likely causing his illness.
But is it really just a parasite?
