Chapter 137 The Showdown Between Scalpel and Needle
Dr. Gao looked at the row of gleaming silver needles in Wang Minyu's hand as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Cold pig brain salad? Young man, your sense of humor, like your ignorance of modern medicine, is quite memorable." He adjusted his glasses, his tone filled with condescending arrogance. "What I have here is a nanoscale neural probe, capable of precisely implanting a biochip without damaging the cerebral cortex. And what do you have? A pile of useless, superstitious wire?"
"You'll soon find out whether it's wire or not." Wang Minyu didn't waste any words with him and gave Guan Shan a wink.
Guan Shan understood, took a step forward, and charged towards Dr. Gao like a heavy tank.
Dr. Gao's expression changed; he hadn't expected the other party to resort to violence so easily.
He instinctively pulled a remote control from his pocket and pressed the button.
"Buzz—"
In the ward, the black-clad men who looked like ordinary bodyguards suddenly flashed a red light in their eyes, and their muscles swelled up in an abnormal way, blocking Guan Shan's way.
They are... cyborgs?
"Bang!"
Guan Shan's fist, as big as a clay pot, collided solidly with the arm of one of the cyborgs.
A muffled thud.
Guan Shan took a half step back, while the cyborg merely swayed and remained completely unharmed.
"My 'Guardian' is modified with special alloy skeletons and high-strength muscle fibers." Dr. Gao laughed smugly. "Don't even mention your brute strength, even bullets can't penetrate their defenses. Wang Minyu, I admit you have some cleverness, but in this world, true power is technology."
"Technology?" Wang Minyu scoffed. "In my opinion, it's nothing more than some low-level 'corpse refining technique'."
Before he finished speaking, he had already moved.
His speed was astonishing; he left almost a blur in place as he bypassed the cyborgs and appeared in front of Dr. Gao in an instant.
Dr. Gao was shocked and tried to back away, but it was too late.
Wang Minyu's fingers moved with lightning speed, quickly pressing several acupoints on his chest.
Dr. Gao felt a strange numbness spread throughout his body in an instant. His body went limp, and the remote control and briefcase in his hand fell to the ground. He collapsed like a lump of mud.
"What...what did you do to me?" He was horrified to discover that apart from his eyes, he couldn't move a single finger.
"It's nothing, it's just that your meridians have been temporarily sealed." Wang Minyu picked up the briefcase on the ground, opened it and looked inside. The sophisticated instruments and a tube of "seed" emitting a strange red light made him frown.
Meanwhile, the battle between Guan Shan and the cyborgs had also reached a fever pitch.
Although those cyborgs possessed immense strength and felt no pain, their movements were somewhat stiff.
Guan Shan was initially a little hesitant, but he quickly discovered his opponent's weakness—the joints.
Instead of engaging in direct confrontation, he used his more agile movements to specifically target the opponent's knees, elbows, and other joints.
With a few crisp "snap" sounds, the valuable "guardians" were scattered all over the ground like toys that had been disassembled.
Su Qing stepped forward and used a scalpel to pry open the outer shell of a cyborg's arm. Looking at the complex wiring and metal skeleton inside, her eyes gleamed with the excitement a forensic doctor feels when seeing a rare corpse.
"Boss, could I take this back and study it?" she asked, looking up.
"casual."
Having dealt with the minor troublemakers, Wang Minyu turned his attention back to Li Mo, who was lying on the hospital bed.
At this moment, Li Mo's emotions were extremely unstable due to the commotion just now. His body struggled violently under the restraints, and painful roars came from his throat.
"He's dying," Zhao Na said anxiously, watching the rapidly dropping blood oxygen saturation on the monitor.
"Dr. Gao," Wang Minyu turned to look at Dr. Gao, who was slumped on the ground, "what did you inject him with?"
"It's...it's 'Sedative-7'..." Dr. Gao said with difficulty, "To...to suppress his rebellious spirit..."
"Quack doctor." Wang Minyu coldly uttered two words.
He walked to the bedside and looked into Li Mo's eyes, which were filled with fear and confusion.
He knew that Li Mo's brain was being eroded by both drugs and fear.
If this continues, even if the "seed" isn't implanted, he will become a complete idiot.
The effects of the medication must be cut off immediately, while simultaneously awakening his own will to survive.
Wang Minyu took a deep breath, and the silver needle in his hand moved.
Instead of applying any calming acupuncture points, he directly inserted a three-inch-long silver needle into the Baihui acupoint on the top of Li Mo's head.
He didn't stop after inserting the needle three-tenths of an inch; instead, he used an extremely exquisite technique to twist the end of the needle.
"Buzz—"
The silver needle emitted a soft buzzing sound.
A visible vortex slowly formed, centered on the Baihui acupoint.
"This is... 'Using Qi to Control Needles'?" Dr. Gao, who was lying on the ground, could not believe his eyes.
Could it be that this kind of technique, which only exists in martial arts novels, actually exists?
Wang Minyu ignored his shock.
His expression was more focused than ever before.
He slowly channeled his internal energy into Li Mo's mind through silver needles.
His purpose was not to attack the drugs, but to use his own "qi" to build a "mental barrier" to temporarily protect Li Mo's collapsing consciousness.
Meanwhile, his other hand wasn't idle either.
He picked up a silver needle and, with lightning speed, pierced Li Mo's forehead—the Yintang acupoint.
This acupuncture treatment used the "draining method".
A drop of black, foul-smelling blood slowly seeped from the glabella.
Those are toxins and stagnant energy accumulated in the brain.
As black blood flowed out, Li Mo's violent struggles gradually subsided.
His frantic eyes gradually regained a sliver of clarity.
He looked at Wang Minyu, his eyes still filled with confusion, but the world-destroying fear had largely dissipated.
"It's done." Wang Minyu breathed a sigh of relief, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
This kind of "spiritual" treatment also takes a huge toll on him.
"Impossible... This is not scientific..." Dr. Gao looked at the scene before him and felt that his worldview had been completely overturned.
His pride in modern technology was shattered in front of a "native" man holding a few wires.
"Science?" Wang Minyu pulled out the silver needles, turned around, and looked down at him.
"You treat people like a bunch of parts, a bunch of data. Is that science?"
"That's called...blasphemy."
Wang Minyu's eyes were as cold as the Siberian wind.
"Now, it's your turn. Dr. Gao, don't you enjoy doing experiments?"
"Today, I'll let you experience my 'clinical project' firsthand."
He picked up the thickest silver needle and walked step by step toward Dr. Gao.
