my stealth fighter

Chapter 523 Fly in the ointment
The Angel of Light's fingertips trembled too fast, and anyone who could see what she was writing with the naked eye would be a god, and what she wrote was English in consecutive strokes, and her handwriting was quite ugly, even if she put it in front of Jiang Chanji for him to see , he had to identify it before he could recognize it, but at least he could calculate the approximate number of words she wrote based on the trembling time. The difference lies in whether it is "God said, let there be light" or "Let there be light", which means a lot. Same, one is narrated from the third person, the other...

Of course, it might be that Jiang Chanji was thinking too much, maybe what she wrote was something else, but the only person who could know what she wrote was a blind person.

Others didn't think about these miscellaneous things, and stared at Arabella's face intently. When Michelle wrote on their retinas for the first time, they often closed or half-closed their eyes involuntarily, but Arabella's eyes were opened wide instead. Big, without the slightest fear, but anticipation of what was to come.

Michelle's fingertips stopped trembling, and Arabella still maintained an expectant expression.

"?"

This is different from what everyone expected or expected. They thought that the next scene would be Arabella jumping up in surprise and screaming "I see the light", but now the situation... Could it be... Failed?

Arabella also noticed the sudden change in the atmosphere. She thought Michelle was still writing, so she didn't dare to turn her head, and asked with a stiff expression, "Is Michelle writing?"

Michelle has finished writing—this sentence flooded everyone's lips, but no one could utter it. They exchanged anxious eyes with each other, hesitating whether to tell a little lie, but Arabella is an expert lie detector...

"It's finished." Lu Weijing broke the silence.

"Is...really?" Arabella smiled bleakly, "But I have nothing..."

"Didn't see anything, right? This is normal." Lu Weijing said calmly, "Don't you think you can see the light as soon as she writes it? There is no such simple thing, that kind of miracle will only appear in fictional fairy tales."

Arabella regained some hope, but she still didn't quite get it.

"To give an example to explain, if the eyes are regarded as a light bulb, the optic nerve is the wire, and the brain is the power supply. If you want the light bulb to light up, all three are indispensable. Can you understand this?" Lu Weijing explained.

Everyone nodded.

"Now your problem is that the light bulb is broken and the wire is broken. If Michelle emits a photon, the photoreceptor cells in your eyes convert the light signal into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve, making your brain 'see' To the 'light, does that mean that the wire is not broken? Of course it is impossible, your optic nerve is underdeveloped, the wire must be broken, and you must not be able to see the light, this result is very normal."

"But……"

Arabella and the others were dumbfounded. If Lu Weijing knew she couldn't see Michelle's light, why did she do this?
"Because this is a treatment method. Although the photons emitted by Michelle cannot be transmitted to your brain, your photoreceptor cells actually receive the light and convert it into a weak electrical signal. The electrical signal also really stimulates the brain. Your optic nerve, but the optic nerve can’t be stimulated to develop instantly. Even for plants to germinate, you need to water, fertilize, loosen the soil, and remove insects every day. It doesn’t mean that if you have free time today, you don’t need to worry about it in the future. , it will bear sweet fruit..."

Lu Weijing was very satisfied with this metaphor, and continued: "You can think of this as a developing game. The optic nerve needs to be stimulated persistently, every day, and the frequency should be as high as possible, so that the optic nerve can grow in constant stimulation, and then One day... your wires will connect successfully."

Arabella understood, and finally turned her worries into joy, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The actual situation is a little more complicated, because it is not only your optic nerve that needs to develop, but also the area of ​​your brain that is responsible for processing visual signals. Even if your optic nerve is redeveloped and electrical signals are transmitted to the brain, it still has to wait. For the first time in life, the area of ​​the brain that processes vision feels the signal, is stimulated, and then is slowly activated, otherwise even if the electrical signal is transmitted to the brain, the brain will not be able to recognize it... In short, try to be patient and have confidence in yourself."

"Okay, I'm patient, and I'm confident! Thank you, Teacher Lu!" Arabella was so excited that her mind was buzzing, and she kept bowing to Lu Weijing. Compared with the empty comfort of her parents when she was a child, Lu Wei Jing explained every detail clearly. Even though she doesn't understand medicine, she can feel the clear logic in it. This is definitely not to lie to her or make her happy.

Catherine was also so happy that she stood up and sat down, sat down and stood up again, but her character was a little impatient, so she asked the question that many family members of patients couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lu, then you guess... probably need How long is the treatment time?"

"It's hard to say. After all, Arabella is not a rapidly developing fetus. It mainly depends on the frequency and intensity of stimulation. It also has a certain relationship with her own physical condition, nutrition and other external conditions. I will give her a prescription later. Some medicines that are beneficial to nerve recovery and vision health, these medicines may not have much effect, but they are better than nothing." Lu Weijing did not deliberately practice Tai Chi with the patient's family members, it is actually the first time in the history of medicine, there is no precedent at all to follow.

Everyone looked at Michelle in unison. Whether Arabella can see the light depends entirely on her cooperation.

Michelle didn’t write this time, but patted her chest with her right hand, which meant clearly—she was willing to take on this responsibility, and she understood Arabella’s desire for light better than anyone else.

She just regrets that no one thought of this method before, otherwise she could have started the treatment when Arabella first came to the monastery when she was a child, then maybe Arabella would have seen the light long ago... But in reality, there is no medicine for regret , I just hope there is still time to remedy it.

Catherine told her sister the good news. It was the happiest day for the two sisters since the death of their parents. Others also expressed their congratulations.

Lu Weijing waited for their emotions to calm down a little, and said: "After using CT to confirm that the area of ​​your brain responsible for processing visual signals is restored to activity, you can arrange eye surgery - in the whole process, eye surgery is time-consuming. Minimal, but you have to make sure your 'wires' are back on, otherwise there's no point in surgery."

Arabella nodded, "Everything is subject to Teacher Lu's arrangement."

The eyes of Jiang Chanji, Catherine, No. 33, and Lu Weijing collided. The so-called operation is a transplant operation. The secret cannot be revealed, and Arabella may not be completely unacceptable, but there is no need to create side effects.

"Okay, if you're not in a hurry to eat lunch, you might as well ask the Angel of Light to heal you for a while. The duration of each treatment doesn't need to be very long, just a dozen seconds or tens of seconds. It's enough to stimulate the effect. The point is... …Well, stimulate it when you have nothing to do, and form a habit like eating and drinking water.”

After finishing speaking, Lu Weijing winked at Jiang Chanji and Catherine, "Catherine, I'll prescribe the medicine, you follow me to get the medicine."

Arabella sat obediently on the hospital bed with a smile all over her face, and Michelle stood in front of her shaking her fingertips slightly.

Jiang Chanji and Catherine followed Lu Weijing out of the ophthalmology clinic and entered Lu Weijing's office.

Catherine pursed her lips nervously. She knew that Lu Weijing was not lying, but there were still some details that were inconvenient to tell in front of her sister.

"There is one more thing to add." Lu Weijing said bluntly, "To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about the secondary development of Arabella's optic nerve. After all, she has passed the main developmental stage, so even if Angel of Light is very cooperative, I guess at most it can only be... Let's put it this way, if a normal person's optic nerve is a river, then her optic nerve will at most become a stream. All I can guarantee is that she can see the light, don't count on her Vision can return to the level of normal people."

"No matter how far we can go, we are very grateful." Catherine felt a little uncomfortable and regretful, but it was just a fly in the ointment. Can you see whether there is a qualitative change or not? Can you see clearly that it is only a quantitative change.

"However, now that Lilith's eyeball is an unpredictable variable, maybe we can expect a miracle." Lu Weijing took out a stack of documents from the drawer and spread them out, "We have carried out a simple inspection on the head of Lilith you brought back. The anatomy of the skull, although the inside of the skull is messed up by you..."

She glared at Jiang Chanji, who had corroded that virtue with firefly fluid.

"After testing, we found that the nerves, blood vessels and other human tissues in Lilith's brain are special...tough and thick. This kind of toughness and thickness can only show that she has been injured countless times and then healed. Every time she is injured Both the nerves and blood vessels in her injury strengthened during the healing process, just as a broken bone grows stronger after it heals."

Jiang Chan thoughtfully said, like a Super Saiyan, as long as he doesn't die, he will become even worse every time he is seriously injured... Fortunately, he died this time.

Catherine vaguely understood. She remembered her experience with No. 33 in the air crash. No. 33 brought a parachute, and they saved their lives. Lilith deliberately caused the air crash and didn't bring a parachute. She fell to the ground abruptly from a height of [-] meters—such a huge impact must have caused serious damage to every organ in Lilith's body, including the eyeballs, and all nerves and blood vessels probably exploded the moment she fell to the ground... and then Self-healing, maybe Lilith used this extreme method to repeatedly hone her abilities and make herself stronger.

"In short, during the operation, I will transplant Lilith's eyeball to Arabella, and connect the part of the optic nerve connected to the eyeball to Arabella's optic nerve. Maybe I can hope that Lilith's extraordinarily strong optic nerve can stimulate Arabella's nerves." Let Bella's weak optic nerve grow further." Lu Weijing's tone was not sure.

Catherine only has hatred for Lilith, but now she actually has a little... The meaning of being grateful to Lilith may be influenced by the Eastern thinking that "people do not hold grudges when they die".

She has an unspoken doubt, she has never had the chance to ask, and now she has to ask.

"Mr. Lu, after my sister transplanted Lilith's eyeballs...won't she become a vampire?"

She also had nightmares at night, dreaming that her sister made a "ho-ho-" sound from her throat, and turned her head to show her fangs... This dream was simply too terrifying.

Lu Weijing shook her head with certainty, "No, an ability like hers will be invalid after death and cannot be spread anymore."

"Do you still remember Mei Yibai?" She asked Jiang Chanji, "You saw her die with your own eyes, do you remember what happened to her body after she died?"

Jiang Chanji recalled a little, and suddenly understood.

Mei Yibai's ability is to suppress the rejection reaction in her body, so she can transplant venomous fangs and snake scales to herself. It was fine before she was alive, but when she was dying, the rejection reaction came back to her, and the human body The half and the half that belonged to the snake repelled each other, causing her to fester and pus all over her body, and her final death was tragic.

"Lilith's and Mei Yibai's abilities are similar, which can be used as a reference, so don't worry that Arabella will become a vampire, and before transplanting, we will clean the remaining blood in the eyeballs .”

Catherine didn't know Mei Yibai, but she heard Jiang Chanji and the others mentioned this person, and immediately dispelled her doubts.

"Speaking of which, Mei Yibai is not only a powerful Transcendent, but also a top surgeon, who is especially good at organ transplant surgery. It's a pity that she went the wrong way. Otherwise, if she presided over the operation, it would be safe. And there is no need to worry about the rejection reaction after the operation." Lu Weijing sighed.

"Uh..." Jiang Chanji just thought of it, yes, what about the rejection reaction after surgery?
Lu Weijing knew what he was thinking, and said: "There is no way, people cannot be resurrected after death, Mei Yibai's bones are already cold, and I have never heard of other extraordinary people with similar abilities, so I have to use drugs to suppress the rejection reaction Fortunately, these are transplants between human bodies. We will try our best to find other eyeballs from donors who are more suitable for Arabella as an alternative, but the postoperative recovery effect is definitely far inferior to Lilith's. eyeball."

Jiang Chanji is also very sorry, he would have known that Liumei Yibai would live, but in reality there is no regret medicine to take, and he didn’t know Arabella at the time, how could he think so far, besides Mei Yibai is not dead, Kali He wouldn't come out to avenge her, Catherine wouldn't follow Kali, and he wouldn't know Arabella... It feels like a paradox.

He recalled that the squid whiskers seemed to have absorbed part of Mei Yibai's energy particles at that time. He wondered if he could imitate Mei Yibai's ability, but the hope was slim, because the squid whiskers didn't copy Mei Yibai like they did with Zhao Man at that time. Bai's thoughts, with only her source energy but without her consciousness to control, probably can't use the corresponding ability... Forget it, let's find time to ask it before we talk.
