Chapter 72: Return
Three days later.
“Is this even possible?”
The physician who examined me tilted his head in puzzlement.
“Is something wrong? I don’t see anything unusual…”
“No. It’s too perfect, that’s the problem. An injury that would have killed an ordinary person would be completely healed in less than half a month.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
“Because it’s inexplicable.”
“Well, I suppose that’s true.”
“So, about that… Could I run some tests on you when you return?”
“What kind of tests?”
“The tests we do at the Qingjia Clinic. We administer three poisons to measure the restorative power of innate qi. If we uncover the cause of your rapid recovery, it could help many patients…”
“Stop. That’s enough.”
Who do you think you are, using people as test subjects?
“Wh-what do you mean?”
“I mean stop talking.”
“But this isn’t that dangerous of a test…”
“Understand that we absolutely will not do it.”
“No! I came all this way to treat Team Leader Jin, and you won’t even grant me that one request?!”
“Administering poison for testing is nonsensical to begin with, isn’t it?!”
“I’ll take responsibility!”
“Ebe-be-be!”
