21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 786 - 782: Hope for Life (Please Subscribe, Vote for Monthly Tickets)

Not mentioning how the police conducted their investigation, Chen Yu had already begun treating the patient.

No matter who the person arriving was, or what he had done, once he entered the hospital and truly needed treatment, then he was a patient, and the doctor would do his utmost to treat him.

The patient in front of Chen Yu was no different; he might have been related to the two previous homicide cases, or perhaps he was the murderer in those cases, but Chen Yu didn’t care about that. For him, he just needed to consider how to cure him.

The cancer cells had spread throughout the body, which normally meant there was no need for treatment anymore, just like Chen Yu had told the two policemen, under such circumstances, doctors no longer considered treatment, but rather how to extend the patient’s survival time and improve their quality of life in the last stage of life.

But for Chen Yu, he was somewhat keen to challenge the impossible.

Just like when he initially researched broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs, Chen Yu’s goal from the beginning was to cure cancer.

Although broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs can inhibit the activity of cancer cells and prevent the worsening of cancer, it does not mean they can cure cancer.

For example, Jounouchi Hiromi’s ex-girlfriend, Yuiko Tsuina, although she could inhibit tumor activity by taking medication, because of her particular circumstances, the tumors in her body were not removed.

Even though the tumors’ threat to her body had been minimized and she was no different from a normal person as long as she continued to take the medication, this did not change the fact that she was still a cancer patient.

And it was this very problem, how to completely cure cancer, that Chen Yu wanted to tackle after completing his research on broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs.

For the Necromancer, this was not a difficult issue; for the Demigod, this was also simple.

But for a doctor, this was not an easy task.

Chen Yu had spent a lot of energy looking for a universally applicable method in the "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium," but the results were not satisfying. Moreover, his energy had been tied up with other matters, causing the research to progress very slowly. He had only handed over several research topics and related materials to his laboratory’s researchers to tackle the problem.

However, these researchers were not ineffective; with the research direction and materials provided by Chen Yu, they still achieved certain results. And after these results were compiled by Chen Yu, they turned into the experimental treatment plan he now had in his hands.

Of course, even though it was an experimental treatment plan, for Chen Yu, saving this patient’s life was not a problem.

As for whether he could cure this patient, if only conventional treatment methods were used, the chances of success might be uncertain, but if he was unrestricted in using Spells, Chen Yu could have him ready for a triathlon by tomorrow.

Chen Yu could indeed cure this patient, but whether he could survive ultimately depended on himself.

For a suicidal person determined to die, if he set his mind on dying, then no doctor, however skilled, could stop him.

So Chen Yu had to see the patient first, to at least awaken his will to live so that he would cooperate with the treatment. Only then could he consider how to save his life.

Arriving at the ward, Chen Yu greeted the patient lying in the hospital bed, "Hello, I am your primary doctor, my name is Chen Yu, you can call me Doctor Chen."

"You’re Professor Chen?!" The patient looked at Chen Yu, who appeared before him, and his eyes suddenly lit up with hope, but then they quickly dimmed again.

When he was diagnosed with cancer, this patient had also actively sought treatment. At that time, the media was extensively reporting Chen Yu’s development of broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs, so he naturally knew who Chen Yu was.

However, because of work, he had delayed treatment, and by the time his cancer was discovered, it was already in the late stages.

He had also used the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs developed by Chen Yu; the drugs did work, suppressing the activity of the cancer cells, but the spread of the cancer cells still damaged his body, and after subsequent events, he chose suicide over treatment.

"You recognize me?" Chen Yu smiled and wasn’t surprised that the patient knew him, "Since you know who I am, that’s good. Don’t worry, I will cure you."

To Doctor Chen’s words, the patient shook his head in disbelief and said, "Doctor, don’t lie to me, I’m already in the late stages of cancer, with cancer cells spread throughout my body. Even if you are Professor Chen Yu, you can’t save my life anymore. How could my level of cancer possibly be cured? If it could be, there wouldn’t be so many people dying of cancer every year around the world."

"Since you know who I am, you should also know that I’m not an ordinary doctor." Chen Yu understood why the patient doubted him; after all, no one in this world had ever been cured of cancer after it had spread throughout the body.

So hearing Chen Yu say this, the patient responded, "So what if you’re not an ordinary doctor, can you really cure me?"

"Not being an ordinary doctor means I can do things that ordinary doctors cannot do." Chen Yu put away the smile on his face, walked over to the hospital bed, looked at the patient seriously, and said, "I don’t know what you’ve gone through to want to commit suicide, nor do I want to know the reasons. But if you’re wanting to suicide just because you can’t be cured of cancer, then I can tell you that I am confident I can cure you."

Chen Yu’s words reignited hope within the patient.

If it were any other doctor, the patient might not have believed so easily, but Chen Yu was the superstar doctor who had developed broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs. He had heard of Chen Yu’s fame, and now that Chen Yu was so confidently saying he had the confidence to cure him, it was like a drowning person grabbing the last straw; of course, he had to hold on tightly.

"Professor Chen, can you really cure me?" The man still felt somewhat incredulous, clutching Chen Yu’s hand and asking him urgently, worried that Chen Yu might just be deceiving him.

"I can’t say that I can cure you one hundred percent. The treatment plan I intend to try on you is brand new, currently still in the experimental phase, and it has not been implemented clinically, so there are certain risks involved. However, as long as you actively participate in the treatment, theoretically speaking, this plan can cure you," explained Chen Yu to the patient, not hiding the risks involved.

However, upon hearing Chen Yu’s words, the man seemed as if he had found a new will to live, nodding vigorously and expressing, "I will definitely cooperate with the treatment!"
