Chapter 582: Nagato… Really fine
— Sweat dripped from Su Xiao's face. He worked in full concentration without interruption for several hours.
Conan picked up a nearby towel and wiped the sweat from his face.
She looked more like a cute nurse now.
— Grab that bug.
Conan immediately took a step forward, but she didn't know what exactly she needed to do.
It was completely round and it was a bit difficult to grab onto it.
— Seeing this, Su Xiao helped Conan and guided her, and soon she was carefully holding the bug with both hands.
— I don't believe he has a broken nervous system. The body and heart can live in symbiosis, but if it loses its nervous system, it will destroy this symbiotic relationship itself, " Su Xiao said and began to study this beetle. Previously, he had underestimated this bug and thought that it had the simplest consciousness, but at this moment, fear could be seen in its eyes wrapped in a transparent film.
— Conan muttered softly. She also saw that this beetle was a sentient being, perhaps even a summoning beast.
Su Xiao searched for a long time and finally found this bug's neck. This bug didn't look like anything Su Xiao had seen before at all, and it was precisely because of this that it took him half an hour to search for its neck. Of course, the main reason for wasting so much time was because this bug was currently in the shape of a ball.
He would have to remove this bug's nervous system in the blink of an eye. Su Xiao didn't know how well the anesthetic had affected him. If he managed to counterattack before he died, it would be a truly bad development.
Su Xiao very carefully made a shallow wound on the beetle. When he saw the light green blood, he held some sterile cotton to it.
*F-f-f-f~*
This is the worst possible situation.
His blood was very poisonous.
If they cut it open, Nagato's heart would end up being corroded by his blood.
Sure, the potion could patch up the wound in his heart, but it couldn't make a new working heart out of the bloody, toxic mess.
Su Xiao shook his head and waved his hand for Conan to let go of the bug, and pushed away everything that could theoretically interfere with it, leaving only a test tube of liquid nearby.
After that, he removed the disposable rubber gloves from his hands. Life and death were now in the hands of a single moment. If he could destroy the beetle's nervous system in an instant, Nagato would live. If not, Nagato will die.
After clenching his fists and flexing them a bit, Su Xiao began to flex his fingers.
Five minutes later, Su Xiao took a deep breath.
In the blink of an eye, a cold light flashed over Nagato, and Su Xiao immediately touched the beetle's new wound with two of his fingers and pulled out the "white thread", which was the nervous system that ran through the beetle's entire body.
Throwing that nerve aside, Su Xiao immediately rinsed his hand with the liquid. Although he did everything in an instant, some blood still flowed out of the beetle, but fortunately, he took all of it with his fingers.
And yes, the skin on his fingers had already been destroyed by that blood.
The beetle's body slowly opened up like a flower, and Su Xiao took out the beetle and placed it on a metal tray.
Nagato's heart appeared in his field of vision. If Su Xiao wanted to kill him, he would be able to kill him right now.
Although the reward for killing Nagato would be huge, the game wasn't worth the candle. The mission failure penalty of deducting 8 points from all stats was too severe. His charisma, which had finally reached the level of ordinary people, would break through the bottom, while all of his other stats would also weaken significantly.
*Boom-boom-boom~*
Nagato's heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and his blood began to carry oxygen throughout his body.
After examining Nagato's various organs and confirming that there were no problems, Su Xiao began to apply stitches, remove them, and apply new ones...
When he removed the last stitch, Su Xiao's eyes were already completely bloodshot.
Nagato, on the other hand, was unconscious with an oxygen mask on his face, but the operation wasn't over yet.
Su Xiao took four metal pipes and ordered Konan to make smaller pipes out of them, taking into account Nagato's needs.
Conan carried out the order with great speed — in just 20 minutes, four metal pipes were broken into dozens of small tubes that were polished only for reasons she knew.
According to Nagato, three pipes were enough, but Su Xiao decided to keep four. The reason was simple — he wanted to remove the possibility that he would become powerless during battle due to an accidental injury.
Nagato would be his driving force in the near future, and the destruction of Konoha depended on him. He couldn't let him suddenly lose his strength in battle.
Su Xiao started to "improve" Nagato. He started putting all those black tubes in his hands.
An hour later, Nagato's hands were decorated with two rows of black metal tubes. They are located starting from his wrists and ending with his shoulder blades. Naturally, all of his joints were intact, so he would be able to move his arms without any problems.
According to Su Xiao's plan, he originally wanted to make a ring out of one of the tubes to fit into Nagato's nose. This arrangement of the ring would have been perfect and would not have affected its power in any way, but Conan immediately rejected his offer in the furnace.
But Su Xiao was sorry. He didn't mind seeing Nagato fight with a black nose ring.
Bubtney on the side also felt pity, for he also wanted to see this.
Konan's cheeks twitched, and she suddenly felt that this man and dog weren't very reliable, but she soon also became curious about what Nagato would look like with a nose ring.
Conan shook her head at the thought, for the scene was too strange for her to imagine.
After the operation, Nagato's body had started to recover, and now only time could tell if he would survive or not.
Only an "undocumented doctor" like Su Xiao would dare to perform this kind of double operation. Without his powerful potion, bleeding alone would have killed any of his patients in the end.
— Nagato, is he... is he okay?" Looking at Nagato, who was lying on the table without a single sign of movement, but breathing evenly, a beautiful smile bloomed on Konan's face.
— The probability that he will survive is about 60%. I did everything I could, and now everything depends on his will to survive and his body, " Su Xiao said and pulled the needle out of Nagato's hand. Although the potion saved him this time, if any of its side effects showed up now, Nagato would surely die.
Currently, he didn't need this potion anymore. The Uzumaki clan's physique was enough for him to gradually fully recover, so the risk of taking the potion now wasn't worth it.
— When will he wake up? The smile faded from Konan's face, and she looked at Nagato with concern.
— Not sure, maybe in an hour, maybe in a day, maybe in a month.
Su Xiao was only responsible for fixing it, and as for whether he could wake up, he was already powerless.
With a sigh of relief, Su Xiao walked out of the operating room. "I'm going to bed, if there's an emergency, let me know," Su Xiao went to the next room and fell asleep.
This operation was more grueling than he had imagined.
----
Konoha, in prison.
*Drip-drip...*
The prison was dark and humid, and filled with an air of despair. In Konoha, in such a rich village, there was a prison that looked worse than any prison from a very poor village.
In the farthest cell, a little girl was curled up in a corner. If anyone had listened, they would have heard her say something.
— The nit Guild didn't stop chasing me. Since the Emperor's Guild is gone, I'll just wait in Konoha prison and make a move when I get the right opportunity. I don't believe they'll dare come after me here.
After thinking about it for a while, the little girl suddenly came up with something. "Given the time, it seems that Nagato will attack Konoha soon. Fortunately, I have enough time, I only need to wait ten days before returning, " and the little girl took out a black ring. This ring didn't look expensive, but there were occasional dark purple flashes on it.
It was the ring that all the major guilds in this world were hunting for.
— Because of you, I have three guilds hunting me, and I don't even know where I can get the other two parts of the kit.
Gulu in the cell took a deep breath.
Because of her bad mood, she took out a couple of candies and popped them into her mouth.
