I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2000 Surgery
"What should we do? Perform surgery now? But there is no strong anesthetic here. The unknown foreign object in Chen Manni's stomach may explode at any time. Once it gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous!" Liu Jun's brows were furrowed like a small mountain, his eyes wavering between hesitation and determination, and he fell into a deep dilemma.

He knew very well that every decision at this moment was related to the safety of many lives. In fact, he had an extreme and cruel choice in his mind, which was to end Chen Manni's life with lightning speed.

However, as soon as this thought emerged, it was quickly suppressed by the trace of kindness deep in his heart. Although he could not be called a good person, he was definitely not a purely bad person.

Liu Jun has many deadly means, whether it is the blazing Phoenix Fire, the sharp Dark Sword, or the powerful potions he carefully crafted, he can easily complete this task. But his heart does not allow him to do so. He wants to save this poor and innocent girl and keep her away from this endless pain and danger.

"It hurts... it hurts so much..." Chen Manni, who was sleeping, suddenly let out a faint moan. Her face was distorted by pain and had lost its former tenderness and beauty. Her hands tightly grasped the bed sheet, as if to grasp a ray of hope.

The others were also affected by the unidentified foreign object to varying degrees. They also showed painful expressions on their faces. Some covered their stomachs, some held their heads, but none of them woke up yet. The entire cabin was filled with an atmosphere of pain.

Liu Jun took a deep breath, knowing that he could no longer hesitate, and then gently patted Chen Manni's hand, and said in a low and firm voice: "Sister, I'm sorry, I have no choice but to take a gamble."

After saying that, he carefully lifted the clothes on Chen Manni's belly, revealing her snow-white skin.

Liu Jun's eyes became extremely firm, without the slightest hesitation. He took out a knife that flashed with cold light. It was a surgical knife that he had carefully crafted and was extremely sharp.

He closed his eyes for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then swung the knife down in an instant. With a slight "swish" sound, a neat cut appeared on Chen Manni's belly.

Bright red blood gushed out instantly, but Liu Jun's technique was extremely skillful. He quickly pressed the wound with gauze soaked in special medicine to prevent excessive blood loss, and then quickly stuffed a blood-replenishing pill into Chen Manni's mouth.

This magical blood-replenishing pill melted immediately once it entered the body, as if it had some kind of magic power, and could quickly penetrate into every cell of the human body, providing timely replenishment for Chen Manni's blood that was gradually depleted due to the operation. Its existence was like a barrier of life, effectively preventing Chen Manni from going to the brink of death due to excessive blood loss during this complex and dangerous operation.

Liu Jun's eyes were focused and calm. He reached out and gently touched Chen Manni's abdomen a few times, trying to find the thing that was causing Chen Manni constant pain.

However, when he actually saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes full of astonishment and disbelief, as if he had seen some terrible scene.

There was a centipede-like creature lying quietly in Chen Manni's intestines. This centipede was completely different from the usual ones. It was blood red all over, as if it had been stained with blood, and there were some mysterious blue patterns on its body. Those long legs, like sharp blades, had been deeply inserted into Chen Manni's intestines, closely connected with her life.

What’s even more horrifying is that this bloody centipede has two tentacles at the front end, which tightly wrap around Chen Manni’s heart, as if controlling the rhythm of her life.

At this moment, Liu Jun was deeply aware that the fate of this bloody centipede and Chen Manni were closely tied together. As long as the bloody centipede encountered misfortune, Chen Manni would also reach the end of her life.

Faced with this horrifying scene, Liu Jun felt a strong fighting spirit surge in his heart. He then clenched his teeth, tightly grasped the scalpel in his hands, and a determined light flashed in his eyes.

"Fuck it, let's fight!"

Liu Jun roared in a low voice and swung the scalpel in his hand again, cutting through the air like lightning.

"Swish, swish, swish!" A series of crisp sounds rang out, and the scalpel accurately and quickly cut off dozens of legs of the bloody centipede.

Every strike seemed to condense all of Liu Jun's strength, because he didn't know at which strike the centipede would suddenly explode and kill Chen Manni.

The bloody centipede twisted its hideous body in severe pain, and every inch of its skin seemed to be wailing, releasing a heart-pounding evil aura. Its body began to shrink sharply, and this change directly affected the tentacles that were tightly wrapped around Chen Manni's heart.

These tentacles were like living things. As the main body spasmed in pain, the pressure on Chen Manni's heart intensified. Every contraction seemed to crush the fragile heart to pieces.

Chen Manni's face was distorted with extreme pain, and her body was shaking in unconscious convulsions.

At this moment, a pure and flawless white flame suddenly bloomed from Liu Jun's fingertips. The flame was like the first ray of sunlight reflected in the dewdrops in the early morning, beautiful and full of irresistible power.

He slowly approached the bloody centipede, the flame swaying gently in his hand, as if it was the perfect combination of the purest and most destructive power.

"I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying, but you must understand that this is the Phoenix Fire. It has the power to burn everything and purify everything. If you choose to die, then I can guarantee that both you and your host will turn into nothingness in this flame, without even a trace left." Liu Jun's voice was low and cold.

Surprisingly, the bloody centipede seemed to really feel the threat of the Phoenix Fire, or react to the determination in Liu Jun's words. Its body suddenly stopped struggling violently, and the tentacles that were tightly wrapped around Chen Manni's heart slowly loosened, as if it had made some kind of compromise.

Seeing this, Liu Jun's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, but his face remained cold and resolute, not letting any emotion leak out. He knew that the calm at this moment was only temporary, and the real battle was far from over. He had to stay alert and be ready to deal with any possible changes at any time, because in this battle of life and death, any slackness could be fatal.

"You can live if you want. And I, if I have a choice, don't want to let this innocent girl die. But you have to understand that if this girl dies, you will have no value at all. At that time, I will destroy you without hesitation and make your existence completely disappear from this world.

Liu Jun narrowed his eyes and spoke in a firm and cold tone.

The bloody centipede seemed to understand Liu Jun's words, and its body moved slightly, as if expressing some emotion or response. The squirming appearance made people shudder, but it also revealed that it cared about Liu Jun's words.

"I will draw a formation on her body." Liu Jun continued, his voice low and powerful, every word like a heavy hammer hitting the bloody centipede's heart, "This formation will trap you and prevent you from escaping. Even if she dies, you will not have the chance to change the host. So, if she lives, you live, and if she dies, you die."

The bloody centipede moved again this time, its body twisted more violently, and it was obvious that it had understood its situation. It knew that this time was different from the past. In the past, after it absorbed all the vitality of the host, it could always find a new host to continue parasitizing, so the life and death of the host never really affected them.

However, this time was an exception. If there was a formation that trapped it in the host's body, then once the host died, it would lose its vitality. By then, no matter how powerful and ferocious it was, it would not last long. What awaited it would be endless darkness and extinction.

However, it has no other choice unless it wants to die now. But it doesn't want to, and it is afraid of death.

Liu Jun stared closely at the reaction of the bloody centipede and saw that its body was trembling slightly, as if it was full of vigilance and fear of Liu Jun's presence.

"Fortunately, although this thing looks extremely ferocious, its intelligence is not very high after all, so it is relatively easy to fool." Liu Jun secretly rejoiced in his heart.

He carefully observed the bloody centipede's movements, thinking secretly in his mind. If this guy really fought to the death and refused to let him draw the formation, then he really had no good solution.

After all, he couldn't really let Chen Manni die together with this bloody centipede.

The bloody centipede seemed to feel the threat from Liu Jun, but it did not make any other violent reactions. It looked much more honest and seemed to have completely compromised.

Seeing this, Liu Jun immediately seized the opportunity, quickly took out a set of needles and thread from his backpack, and began to concentrate on stitching up the wound on Chen Manni's stomach.

Although his technique was not skillful, every move he made revealed his seriousness and meticulousness. With him around, even if the wound was not properly treated, it was unlikely to cause infection.

After a while, the stitching was finally completed. A crooked stitch mark was left on Chen Manni's belly. Although it was not very beautiful, it was at least much better than the appearance of her intestines being exposed just now.

Liu Jun looked at the suture line and hesitated for a moment. Knowing that girls all love beauty, he decisively took out the ointment and carefully applied it to the wound.

The cool feeling of the ointment made Chen Manni frown slightly, but her expression soon calmed down.

And at the moment when Liu Jun carefully applied the ointment to Chen Manni, the thick fog outside seemed to be quietly dispelled by some invisible force, and it disappeared without a trace since some time.

Inside the cabin, as the fog dissipated, a fresh air with a slight chill rushed in, allowing the people who had been sleeping before to gradually regain consciousness and open their hazy eyes.

However, when these people's eyes fell on the inner cabin, they all chose to remain silent.

They saw Liu Jun sitting beside Chen Manni's bed, one hand gently moving back and forth on Chen Manni's belly. His movements were gentle and focused, as if he was carrying out a sacred mission.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that Liu Jun was not the kind of person they thought, due to a variety of complicated emotions, they all chose to remain silent and did not make any sound.

Liu Jun concentrated on applying the ointment to Chen Manni, and only after he was sure that every wound had been evenly coated with the ointment did he slowly raise his head and prepare to stand up.

However, when he glanced around, he was shocked to find that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, which contained both confusion and some indescribable meaning.

"I want to say that I was just applying ointment to Miss Chen, do you believe it?" Liu Jun looked helpless, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, trying to dissolve the awkward atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

"I believe it, of course I don't, Brother Liu." The fat man was the first to break the silence. He smiled and there was a hint of teasing in his eyes. "But, can you please put down the door curtain next time? There is not much space in our cabin, so as to avoid misunderstandings."

Liu Jun's face instantly turned as dark as ink, and he secretly complained in his heart. Damn it, Chen Manni's innocence was not mentioned for the moment, but his own innocence was completely gone. He risked his life to save people, but in the end he was regarded as a wretched man. This was worse than eating a fly.
