Bai Han smiled faintly and said, "Doctor He, you are not old, but you have learned quite a bit."
He Mu looked at Bai Han calmly and said, "The sea of learning is boundless, and diligence is the shore. Since I became a doctor, I must bear the responsibility of saving lives and dare not slack off."
The question and answer, though seemingly significant, had no apparent flaws.
Bai Xi said lightly, "Since you are here, let's give it a try."
On the other side, Shangguan Wen returned from the communication room, "Eldest Miss, we just received word from Black Gold Academy that Elder Gao's wife had a heart attack a few days ago and just finished surgery. He is still accompanying her in the hospital and not working at Black Gold Academy. What do you think... should we call his family?"
Bai Xi frowned and said faintly, "Forget it."
Shangguan Wen's expression was one of disappointment, "But now... Elder Gao is likely our last hope."
Bai Xi raised her hand, signaling her to say no more, "Elder Gao's expertise is not in making poisons or medicines, but in internal medicine and the silver needle technique from the outer regions. Even if he came, he might not be able to detoxify them."
More importantly, rumors outside said that Elder Gao and his wife had a very deep relationship, and he took her with him wherever he went.
A young couple becoming old companions. Now that his wife was seriously ill, even if they found him, his heart wouldn't be here.
Elder Gao had already risked much for China in his lifetime. At this juncture, moral coercion would be an immense torment for him.
"It's alright. I previously asked the military doctors from the city defense forces. They said that after anesthesia and sedation, the condition of these mutated people is stable. Infusing nutrient solutions can maintain their lives for a longer period. Since the city defense forces are still looking for doctors with true skills everywhere..."
For now, it was not an urgent matter. The real worry was whether the Kui Hall would make its next move.
Shangguan Wen replied, "Yes, Eldest Miss is right."
Bai Xi glanced at He Mu lightly and said, "This is He Mu, he is also a doctor. Take him to join the three doctors who passed the test and treat those who have mutated."
Although He Mu had only treated Lin Yun's burn injury before, which was something most doctors could handle. However, he was indeed a legitimate doctor with excellent qualifications, and was more reliable than those who came for the bounty.
Shangguan Wen naturally did not question Bai Xi's words and directly said to He Mu, "Doctor He, please come with me."
He Mu followed Shangguan Wen and left.
In the room, only Bai Xi and Bai Han remained.
Bai Xi hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "Brother, your so-called attending physician is actually not related to Mother, but to me, right?"
Bai Han stood still, his pupils widening slightly before quickly subsiding, "Why would you think that?"
Bai Xi said faintly, "My headaches are always because of him, so... I did have a fiancé before, it was him, right?"
Bai Han did not speak.
Bai Xi mused for a moment, "So, I didn't get injured because I was chasing the Kui Hall Master and lost my memory. I lost my memory just because of him, right?"
Bai Han looked at her eyes, which seemed to be interrogating him, and said gently, "Xiao Xi, if some things are in the past, let them be in the past, okay? If you try too hard to remember, it will hurt your brain."
Bai Xi replied, "I know."
When she spoke of that person now, she could do so calmly. But if she tried to recall, she would be in unbearable pain.
Originally, she was very curious about what kind of memory it was, which made her curious and want to recall.
But now that she knew the memory was just about a man, and a man who caused her splitting headaches and piercing heartaches whenever she thought of him, she suddenly lost much of her interest.
"Brother, I'll ask you one last question, and after this, I won't think about it anymore."
Bai Han asked, "What question?"
Bai Xi said faintly, "Did that person betray me?"
Bai Han replied without much thought, "Yes."
In his opinion, his death was the greatest betrayal of Xiao Xi!
In the prison.
When the doctors saw the mutated people, they all showed expressions of horror. Although they had heard about the situation in Sea Island City, seeing these creatures that were never in their understanding still shocked them.
One of the youngest doctors fell directly to the ground, "This, this, can these really still be considered human?"
He Mu stood at the back of these people, quietly observing the scene.
Because he was brought in by Bai Xi and had not undergone any tests, he was paid special attention to.
There were rumors that the God of War once had a secret girlfriend who was a doctor.
Could it be this man in front of them?
After thinking for a while, he dismissed the thought.
Because this man in front of them was too ordinary, almost invisible in the crowd, he shouldn't be the type that the God of War liked.
Either the rumors were just rumors, or it wasn't this doctor!
"Someone, show these doctors the various test reports."
As he spoke, two military doctors stepped forward and handed over various reports.
These included blood test reports, X-ray reports, DNA test reports... all sorts of them.
When the reports were handed to the three people in front, the one standing at the very front was an older middle-aged doctor, whose receding hairline made him look particularly trustworthy, "From the blood analysis... they should still be considered human."
The muscles, bones, nails, and fangs of these people retained human characteristics, but also had the characteristics of the animals they were mutated from. Yet, the blood and DNA tests showed no abnormalities. This was in itself an incredible thing.
After he spoke, the two doctors behind him also looked at the reports, "This is difficult to handle?"
"Yes, everything is normal, how can we adjust it?"
"Hey, hey, hey, this one is anemic, why don't we give him a blood transfusion first?"
"Are you an idiot? Anemia is due to external injuries and excessive blood loss. Even if we replenish blood, it will at most improve his condition, but it won't solve the problem of him turning into this state!"
"Why don't we try some electric shock therapy?"
"I think this might work!"
"..."
For a time, including the military doctors present, they all began to discuss countermeasures. Only He Mu, standing at the very back, said nothing, and slowly walked towards the cage alone.
Shangguan Wen watched him approach the cage step by step and couldn't help but frown, "Did Doctor He see something?"
He Mu said faintly, "Demonic poison."
Shangguan Wen was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his senses, his eyes showing a hint of disbelief, and at the same time a trace of hope, "Does Doctor He know what this poison is? You just said demonic poison? What is demonic poison? How is it treated?"
He Mu looked up at Shangguan Wen and said faintly, "I can't be sure yet... By the way, please ask Commander Shangguan to prepare some things for me. I need to verify it."
