Chapter 1768 An Ancient and Mysterious Family (Monthly Ticket 4500 Plus More × 9)

The Alps are covered in snow all year round.

A valley, shrouded in fog, no daylight.

Old medieval castle, a symbol of tradition and power. But the antiquity is only left on purpose, as a record of the passage of time and the continuity of the family.

Inside the castle, it is comparable to a luxury top seven-star hotel.

In the bedroom on the third floor, the curtains were drawn to make it airtight.

A scrawny "man" lay on a grey velvet sheet.

His hair was sparse, but neatly combed, giving him an organized feel.

His face was pale and frighteningly white. But there are scars all over the face, some old scars, a few blisters and fresh ulcers.

The angle of the lips is odd, the upper lip is very upturned, the gums are receding, and the four canines are sharp, sharp, and much longer than the other teeth.

In black silk pajamas, the old man held the sheet in both hands, his knuckles were stiff, it was more like some kind of animal than a human hand.

Just not so much hair.

There was a drip rack at the head of the bed with a bag of whole blood hanging on it.

Domestic whole blood was phased out more than ten years ago and turned into component blood. If Zheng Ren was here, he would be curious to recall the last time he saw Whole Blood.

A young man was sitting at the head of the bed. He was so similar to the old man lying on the bed, except that there were no blisters or festering on his face, and his teeth were not as sharp as the old man's four teeth.

And he was full of energy, in stark contrast to the dying old man on the bed.

"Father, the reply from Massachusetts, Hopkins, and Mayo is not optimistic." The young man held some paper in his hand, his fingers were a little deformed, and they fell on the white paper, so striking.

"It's all useless things." The old man shook his head. "With an investment of three billion dollars a year, the research has not made any progress. It has been more than a hundred years, but there is still no good news."

He paused, sighed, and said, "Forget it, I'm used to it."

The young man said: "I will rush them again."

"It's useless, you try to go out as little as possible, the damn ultraviolet rays are really a headache." The old man said, "I guess I will end my mission soon and go to see my ancestors. You will take over everything from now on. Fifty years of good performance and a suitable candidate, but unfortunately it is not easy to run a big family."

"Father, you have to maintain an optimistic attitude." The young man who looked young, but his age was a mystery, did not continue the words of the family patriarch, but raised the paper in his hand and said, "Massachusetts General Hospital is the third most recently. A tenured professor has a candidate, and their suggestion is to let this new tenured professor diagnose and treat you."

"Who are those old-fashioned little guys looking for? Henry? No, Henry is in London, and Henry has come to see him. He can't do anything about it." The old man only guessed a name, and he fell silent.

The family's peculiar constitution is like this. When it brings him infinite benefits, it also has some disadvantages.

It's just that these benefits definitely don't include immortality.

His body has endured for many, many years, and finally he can't endure it any longer.

Although the family has been acquiring, establishing, and participating in hospitals around the world for hundreds of years. The blood banks in the entire European and American continents are almost open to them, but blood transfusion and oral blood cannot keep him alive for another 100 years.

"Money can buy blood, but it can't buy life." The old man said a proverb from his hometown, but was interrupted by the young man, "Father, modern technology is advancing very fast, you must maintain your confidence."

"Confidence?" The old man's voice was a little vague, and his expression was a little dull, far less vivid than the young man sitting next to him.

"That was a very interesting young man, not yet thirty years old."

"The little guys in Massachusetts are finally willing to bow their arrogant heads and admit that someone is better than them?" After the old man said a few words, his energy was exhausted, and his voice became more and more vague.

The young man picked up a cup beside him. The cup was filled with bright red liquid, and a bloody smell seemed to be full of vitality.

The old man drank the red liquid in the cup, but he did not recover his strength as quickly as before, only slightly better.

"It's very interesting young man. Dr. Mehal nominated him for this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine. I reject it." The young man said: "According to the rules you made ten years after the end of World War II, surgical procedures have no effect on our bodies. There's no benefit. It's basic research that finds and solves problems, and that's a guide."

After the old man drank the bright red liquid with a bloody taste, he closed his eyes and did not speak.

His deformed fingers trembled more and more, his eyes slowly closed, but his eyelids kept moving.

After nearly 3 minutes, he let out a long breath and said, "What did that little guy in Mehar think?"

"He himself has an opinion on the inability to win the Nobel Prize for clinical procedures, but as you said, billions of dollars of investment have been invested every year for hundreds of years, but there is still no hope." The young man said: "He has already Getting old and wanting to challenge our authority in the last moments of our lives."

"That's impossible. If he wants to die, I can fulfill his wish right away." The old man said.

"But this little guy is very interesting. Here is his information." The young man handed over a few blank sheets of paper.

But the old man did not answer.

His eyes were half-closed, and the eyeballs were sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

The vigor of life was slowly passing through his body, and now he was exhausted.

As if a gust of wind blows, the candle of life will be blown out.

The young man didn't speak, didn't move, just stood still.

"Why do you insist?" After a long time, the old man's voice sounded like a bat in a night cave.

"Father, I haven't finished." The young man smiled. "This young man is assisting the Royal Academy of Sciences to solve the turbulence problem, and even the president of the Academy of Sciences went to meet the king."

"Turbulent flow? A pointless study."

"That's true for us, but it's a different situation for those poor people." The young man said, "The fact that this young man from Huaxia can get an appointment at Massachusetts General Hospital proves that he has entered the ranks of the The medical world is popular, and I stand by my advice and ask him to come and see it for you."

"It's useless."

"Try it, it's always good." The young man said, "A tenured professor is already qualified to enter this castle."

"I am old and tired. Living in this world, every day is very painful. Now I have begun to look forward to seeing my ancestors, but unfortunately everything I hoped to do has not been achieved."

"The consultation thing..."

"Look, you will be the patriarch in half a year, and now I have to respect your opinion." The old man murmured.

The young man bowed and left.
