Plague Doctor

Chapter 149 Secondary hyperparathyroidism

The large conference room at the headquarters of the Bureau of Secrets was packed with seats, and the situation in the anatomy room in Dongzhou was broadcast live on multiple screens.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Uncle Dan, Du Mingjun and other five older and more senior mobile task force doctors and anatomy experts walking into the anatomy room. It's so inappropriate.

"This corpse is very difficult to handle. There are many mutations, deformities, and proliferations. It needs to be sorted out slowly."

Xiao Huiwen, the middle-aged man who led the anatomy expert observation team at the headquarters, told his subordinates, and everyone nodded. This was indeed the truth.

Although the situation has not yet been solved, Dongzhou already has a general understanding of the ghoul corpse through imaging and positioning inspections.

At this time, the imaging results were displayed on some of the screens. Imaging experts, clinical experts, biologists, etc. all watched and reviewed the films, and continued to discuss the imaging of each tissue of the corpse.

I don’t know if all ghouls are like this, but Chen Fade’s case shows that humans can transform into ghouls.

Therefore, this kind of alien is different from the dead skin man. It is essentially a mutated and deformed human body.

Abnormal changes in Chen Fade's bone marrow can be seen from the bone.

There are also symptoms shown in the results of bone imaging, ultrasound examination, radionuclide examination, etc., which all remind researchers of an endocrine disease.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Even the ghoul’s terrifying dog-like face looks like the “lion-like face” that is the typical clinical manifestation of secondary hyperparathyroidism:

Inflammatory bone hypertrophy causes the facial cheekbones, gums, and mandibles to protrude, causing protruding eyes. The nose, mouth, and chin have tall protrusions, and the shape of the maxillofacial bones becomes like the face of a lion, wolf, or dog. , extremely weird.

"The pathology of the transformation process from human to ghoul should be similar to that of secondary hyperparathyroidism." This is a major hypothesis of current researchers.

Maybe even mental and psychological abnormalities are the same, because secondary hyperparathyroidism can cause patients to have symptoms such as nervousness, irritability, and cognitive impairment. However, the patient's mobility will also be significantly reduced at the same time, which is inconsistent with the high-sensitivity mobility of the ghoul, and the patient will not have that kind of hard bone hyperplasia.

So of course, this transformation has some unknown mutations that create this dark creature.

However, current medicine cannot explain even the psychoneurological symptoms of secondary hyperparathyroidism, let alone this kind of thing.

Imaging is imaging after all, and those blurry and more detailed situations in the image require partial analysis to find answers.

"I still recommend starting with the hands." Xiao Huiwen said again, with a very steady look on his face, "Its claw-shaped nails and phalanges seem to be one piece. How does this combination of horny and bone proliferation change? What needs to be clarified is that you can also warm up first by starting with your hands.”

"I don't know what Dongzhou thinks." He Tao, one of the members of the observation team, said, "It's just this one."

Everyone in the conference room was watching the live video. Gu Jun and the others were already gathered around the autopsy table. There were eight people in total, all wearing white protective suits, tight masks and gloves, even if they were sitting at the door in the distance. Wu Shiyu on the sofa was also wearing protective gear.

The fungi on the ghoul's skin have been sampled and tested, and it has been found that they are just ordinary forest plaques, but isolation and protection still need to be done.

Dongzhou did not give a clear anatomy plan, saying that they wanted to keep an eye on Gu Jun's feelings.

So Xiao Huiwen and He Tao really have mixed feelings. After all, they are studying medicine and don’t have so many literary talents. They can only use an inappropriate metaphor: they are helplessly watching their goddess being beaten by someone who doesn’t know where they came from. Dan Er Gouzi is a waste.

Just one thing.

At the same time, in the anatomy room of the Bureau of Dongzhou Medical Department.

Beside the bright autopsy table, everyone looked at the ghoul corpse on the table and saw the video data. They all knew that this was definitely not an easy job.

"Alas." Cai Zixuan sighed, thinking that this ghoul was transformed from a human being, and may have killed and eaten humans before, and now he is about to be dissected by humans. He couldn't help but sigh softly: "This cruel joy will eventually end." Ending with brutality.”

"Is it cruel?" Wang Ruoxiang said disapprovingly, "It was too kind to not let him soak in formalin first."

It was also difficult for them to tell whether it was the smell of formalin that made them sick to their stomach, or the stench of this ghoul that made them sick.

This stench is different from ordinary corpse odors. Even the highly decomposed giant corpse is not comparable to it. It seems to be made of many corpses rotting, digesting, and mixing. a cell.

"Perhaps it is a kind of mercy to let the formalin wash away the smell." Gu Jun murmured.

Wu Shiyu over there was a little confused, what's going on? She, who studies painting, is not as artistic as they who study medicine.

But she had heard Gu Jun say that wherever Cai Zixuan is present, the atmosphere will naturally become Shakespearean.

"Everyone." Gu Jun held the Calop scalpel and dissecting scissors. These are his personal use and others are not used to using them. "Let's dissect the face first."

ah? Du Mingjun and other anatomy experts around him were stunned, and there were even more exclamations in the headquarters conference room. The first thing that came up was the face! ?

The most obvious mutation of ghouls can be

Can it also be one of the most important features of a dog?

"Too urgent, too urgent." Xiao Huiwen suddenly said anxiously. There is only one face, which is different from two limbs. This is just the beginning!

Others are also anxious. The headquarters is communicating with the Dongzhou Command Center in real time, and Yao Shinian is also watching at this time.

Uncle Egg and Du Mingjun were wearing communication headsets. Uncle Egg now sent a message: "Ajun, do you think the superiors should take it easy?"

"Time is running out." Gu Jun said. He didn't tell them the plan before because he didn't want to have any more accidents. "Ghouls can manipulate their spirits, and the head may be the most important. If there are any clues, they are here. We have to hurry up and find them." Finding out the clues is the purpose of dissection. If it is too late, it may lose its meaning and effect."

What he said was reasonable, and no one could refute it. However, the headquarters conference room and the Dongzhou Command Center were all shrouded in anxiety.

"Let's get started." Gu Jun looked at the dog-like face with protruding eyes and silently opened the system panel in his mind.

[Abyss Mission: Complete the dissection of a ghoul within a week. Mission reward: unknown]

Since it is an abyssal mission, in addition to the difficulty of finding the anatomical target, the requirements for the level of anatomy must be very detailed, and there may even be unexpected situations.

Come on, start the liver and accept the mission.

[Accept the mission and complete it! Current anatomy completion level: 0, current remaining time: 167:59:58]

The corpse was in a supine position. Cai Zixuan used an anatomical cushion to raise its shoulders and tilt its head back. Gu Jun then made skin incisions. Although there were no gunshot wounds on this face, it was the face of a ghoul. , the skin has become different.

Watch him holding a weird scalpel and making cuts, making incisions in the middle of the face, incisions on the edge of the mandible...

Be careful, be careful! Xiao Huiwen, He Tao and others were nervous, as if they were watching Er Gouzi treat their goddess's extremely delicate skin rudely.

Love the Plague Doctor.
