Chapter 159: Malicious Curse

Chapter 159: Malicious Curse

"Come, drink the anesthesia potion. You will fall asleep for a while, and when you wake up, the operation will be over," Charlotte handed the anesthesia potion to Kasha.

"Will it hurt?" Kasha looked at the colorless and transparent potion, remembering the painful experience from the previous surgery, and she was surprised.

"Don't worry, this is an anesthesia potion specially developed by our boss for surgical patients. It won't hurt once you drink it," Vivian reassured her.

Kasha nodded and took the anesthesia potion. She tilted her head back and drank it in a few gulps.

Soon, the pain from the wounds all over her body gradually disappeared. Her senses became numb, drowsiness overwhelmed her, and her eyelids involuntarily closed, losing consciousness completely.

Vivian laid her flat and looked at Charlotte, who had started the sterilization process and picked up the surgical scalpel. She asked softly, "Boss, do you need any help?"

"There are too many wounds, and the areas with necrotic tissues are too large. After removing the dead tissues, direct suturing is not possible, and forced suturing will leave ugly scars," Charlotte looked at the nearly hundred wounds on Kasha's body and shook his head, unable to bear it. "I will be responsible for removing the rotten flesh. You use the cleaning and hemostatic agents to pre-treat them. After we've dealt with all the wounds, you can use your healing magic to promote tissue regeneration."

Vivian nodded, but she was still worried, "But if we use healing magic, Kasha will know when she wakes up. Will that..."

"It's okay. She will be part of our clinic for the next three months. After three months, she may return to the sea or..." Charlotte glanced at Kasha, who lay peacefully on the hospital bed, "Or maybe we can find a way to let her stay alive and stay in the clinic."

Vivian also looked at Kasha with sympathy. "She appears to be around the same age as me. She's still so young, she'll survive."

"Let's begin. The effect of one bottle of anesthesia potion isn't very long, so we might need to give her another one halfway through," Charlotte said as he turned on the shadowless lamp. His expression became extremely calm, and he gently pierced the first incision in Kasha's left chest. With a slight twist, a piece of dark brown rotten flesh was excised. With several swift motions of the scalpel, the wound was cleaned thoroughly.

Vivian followed closely, using a cleansing solution to rinse the pus left in the wound, and then pouring a hemostatic solution to stop the bleeding.

After reaching the Intermediate Knight level, what Charlotte brought to Vivian was not only abundant energy (which cannot be displayed) but also absolute control.

This allowed him to efficiently and accurately perform surgeries while minimizing harm to the patients.

Merfolk is probably closer to fish, with less abundant blood vessels, so there was no gruesome scene of blood splattering everywhere.

Even so, it took half an hour to clean up the wounds on the front.

Seeing Kascha's eyebrows twitch slightly, showing signs of awakening, Vivian promptly administered another dose of anesthesia.

Infected with this malicious curse, washed away to the depths of the sewer, she was an innocent victim.

Charlotte had no confidence in curing this peculiar illness and couldn't understand what kind of existence the mysterious black mist in the ocean was.

All he could do was give his all in completing the surgery before him, minimizing her suffering.

If she still couldn't return to the sea after three months, he hoped she could leave with dignity, rather than rot in the depths of the sewer.

She's a mermaid, the darling of the sea.

Charlotte's technique in cleaning the sores became more adept, and he seemed to enter a state of complete immersion. The blade pierced into the ulcer, accurately distinguishing healthy muscle from rotten flesh and pus, and with a swift motion, he dug out a clean and beautiful wound.

Vivian could barely keep up with his speed as she cleaned the wounds and poured hemostatic potions.

The scalpel scraped against the small bones of the tail, wiping away the black stains. After carefully cleaning the last wound, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief and gently placed the scalpel in the tray.

From the start of the surgery to the end, it took less than an hour.

108 wounds were cleaned.

Efficiency was extremely high.

Vivian continued to clean the remaining wounds, no longer pouring hemostatic potions. Instead, she took out her magic wand and began to chant an incantation.

As the faint green light entered Kascha's body, the wounds began to heal. The back, full of bloody holes, gradually regained its slender waistline. The furrowed brow also gradually relaxed, and a hint of color returned to her pale face.

After putting down her magic wand, Vivian swayed and was supported by Charlotte.

"Your body is too weak. You should exercise with me when you have time." Charlotte glanced at her.

"I'm just exhausted. I was busy all morning, and then I output such a large amount of healing. I'm just an Intermediate Mage." Vivian defended herself, looking at the still-unconscious Kascha. "Why hasn't she woken up? Is something wrong?"

"She probably fell asleep because the pain disappeared and her mind suddenly relaxed." Charlotte looked at the sleeping Kascha, her relaxed expression still visible. "Change her clothes, and later I'll carry her to the adjacent ward so she can get a good rest."

"Or... you could change her clothes instead? I don't think I can move her anymore." Vivian waved her hand, looking weak.
