21st Century Necromancer

Having completed the surgery, Chen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, removed the gloves from his hands and the mask from his face, and left the operating room.

At the entrance of the operating room, the man's wife was waiting. Seeing Chen Yu come out, she hurriedly approached him and asked, "Doctor, how is my husband doing?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Don't worry, he's fine now," Chen Yu assured the woman, giving her the news she most wanted to hear.

"That's great! Thank you, Doctor! Thank you!" The woman quickly expressed her gratitude to Chen Yu, bowing deeply to him.

"It's what we are here to do," Chen Yu shook his head, not dwelling on the woman's thanks. Instead, he asked her, "You mentioned earlier that your husband has been working abroad and felt chest pain a month ago. Where was he working?"

The woman looked at Chen Yu with confusion, not understanding why he was asking this, but she answered, "In Saudi Arabia. His company has business there, and he was sent there three years ago to be based there permanently. He could only return about once every three months. Doctor, does this have anything to do with his illness?"

"Hmm, it does have some relevance," Chen Yu nodded slightly, getting a better grasp of the situation, yet he continued to ask, "What does he usually like to eat? How are his eating habits?"

"My husband loves drinking cola. Before we got married, he could finish a 2.5-liter bottle in a day. After we got married, I kept a close eye on him, and he improved a bit," said the woman, her face showing a hint of blame. "But after he was sent abroad, he stopped listening to me and went back to drinking big bottles of cola every day!

Abroad it's different from here; he doesn't eat a lot of vegetables, his staple diet is mostly just beef and mutton. Doctor, is his illness related to his drinking cola?"

Hearing the woman's question, Chen Yu's expression became quite serious as he said, "Foods high in sugar and fat have a significant impact on the body. Consuming them over a long period can easily lead to elevated blood pressure, lipids, and sugar levels, and lead to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Your husband's condition this time was caused by high blood lipids leading to a blocked vessel.

The pain in his chest before was a warning from his heart muscle, but he didn't take it seriously, which led to the heart attack."

"But... but after he came back to the country, wasn't he fine? He wasn't in any pain!" the woman said, her face showing fear after hearing Chen Yu's words, but then she was puzzled as her husband hadn't experienced chest pain since returning.

Chen Yu shook his head at the woman's words and explained very seriously, "Your husband is still quite young, his blood vessels are elastic, and his heart has strong compensatory abilities. Even if the vessels are blocked, they can still hold up, preventing myocardial necrosis. And even through collateral circulation, the symptoms of myocardial ischemia may be reduced or disappear.

However, this doesn't mean he has recovered; rather, it's the last opportunity given to him by his heart muscle. If the blocked vessels are not promptly reopened, what awaits him is the progressive necrosis of the heart muscle, heart failure, arrhythmia, and the impaired function of other organs due to low perfusion, and he may even die suddenly from the heart attack."

"What! Sudden death...?!" The woman's face showed a look of shock, clearly she hadn't expected a simple chest pain to turn into something so terrifying.

Chen Yu didn't say much more, just nodded politely to the woman, reminded her to develop good living habits and pay attention to the diet, and then excused himself and left.

"Professor," Chen Yu's office assistant, Kyuuzai Ryousen, who had been dispatched to construct the ritual site, reappeared before Chen Yu.

"Ah, Ryosen-kun, you're here? Take a seat first; I just need to finish this case report." Chen Yu was writing a case report for a previous patient with a heart attack, gesturing to Kyuuzai Ryousen to take a seat and calling out to his secretary, "Shirai, pour a cup of tea for Ryosen-kun."

"Thank you, Professor," Kyuuzai Ryousen said upon hearing Chen Yu's words, and then he took a seat on the office sofa, looking a bit restrained.

While Kyuuzai Ryousen sipped the coffee that Shirai Reina brought him, Chen Yu quickly finished the work he had on hand and sat down in front of Kyuuzai Ryousen.

Noticeing Chen Yu sit down in front of him, Kyuuzai Ryousen instinctively tried to stand up and bow, but Chen Yu simply raised his finger, signaling him that the formality was unnecessary: "Sit down and talk; I don't like it when people are too formal."

"Yes, Professor," Kyuuzai Ryousen replied, sitting back down before reporting to Chen Yu, "Professor, the items you asked me to prepare are all ready. Yoshiharu-kun and I have double-checked everything; they are all arranged according to the list you provided."

Since Shirai Reina was sitting outside the door, Kyuuzai Ryousen spoke with caution and didn't reveal any significant information, even though Chen Yu had already closed the office door.

Chen Yu had naturally been aware that the ritual site was completed; Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu had already reported to him about it.

However, various delays, especially due to Chen Yu needing to move houses, meant that he had yet to check the work done by Kyuuzai Ryousen and Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu at the ritual site, an oversight that undoubtedly made both the eager-to-be-promoted Kyuuzai Ryousen and Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu somewhat impatient.

Reminded of Chen Yu's promise that he would arrange for their advancement once the ritual was complete, Kyuuzai Ryousen and Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu had been itching with impatience since the completion of the ritual site, anxious but daring not to press Chen Yu.

Rushing a Necromancer was something only someone tired of living would do, and even though Kyuuzai Ryousen didn't know that Chen Yu was a Necromancer, the type of materials he gathered and the obviously dark nature of the legacy he provided were enough hints that he was not exactly a good Samaritan.

Although he was anxious, Kyuuzai Ryousen would never dare to press Chen Yu with his own life; he neither had the courage nor the means. Continue your journey on empire

So apart from the matter of the ritual site, Kyuuzai Ryousen had other things to report to Chen Yu: "Furthermore, the sample you entrusted to my father has been made, and the experimental verification results are good. However, due to a lack of necessary staff, we were only able to create a simplified version for the general public.

As for the complete version aimed at a special clientele, we are currently unable to meet the demand."

"I understand; the items you and Yoshiharu-kun prepared, I will be using them soon. There's no need to worry, whatever I promised you won't be neglected," Chen Yu, easily discerning Kyuuzai Ryousen's purpose for coming, was nevertheless unconcerned, reasoning that a little urgency in matters affecting one's own interests was justified.

On the other hand, it was the other matter mentioned by Kyuuzai Ryousen that caused Chen Yu to ponder for a moment before he spoke, "As for the matter with your father... I'm aware of it. I will send you some materials later; they should be able to solve the problem."
