Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 467, The Last Uesugi!

Uesugi Sakenori was quickly taken by Uesugi Muneyuki to a secret VIP passage at the University of Tokyo Hospital. After all, his grandfather's connections and influence at the University of Tokyo were still very strong. If he hadn't participated in the "Zenkaito" (National Revolutionary Army's internal struggle), Uesugi Kuninori would have been able to become a faculty member.

The University of Tokyo Hospital naturally provided Uesugi Sakenori with a private passage and a VIP ward. Despite his extreme reluctance, he agreed to undergo a full set of examinations under the dual pressure of the head of the household and his younger brother.

Because this matter involved a very private and unspeakable secret, only Uesugi Muneyuki and Uesugi Kuninori came. Uesugi Muneyuki originally wanted to say that being late would not count as absenteeism, but he had no choice but to ask for a day off in this situation.

He briefly told his grandfather what had happened.

In short, your strict control and excessive demands on your brother during the first half of his life led to extreme repression and constraint during his childhood. He lived like a model heir from a scholarly family, never experiencing the pleasures of a woman. His three friends, also concerned for him, wanted to introduce him to women, but he was suddenly exposed to something he had never encountered before. Moreover, he was immediately surrounded by high-class escorts in nightclubs, reeking of perfume, cigarettes, alcohol, lipstick, and cosmetics, which gave Uesugi Sakenori PTSD.

Then, he himself had already developed an unspeakable apathy, and his family was pressuring him to get married and have children. After finally choosing someone who was passable, that kind of thing happened at the wedding, and the head of the family collapsed on the spot. All of this put enormous psychological pressure on Uesugi Sakenori. As mentioned earlier, Uesugi Muneyuki was admitted to the University of Tokyo based on his outstanding academic abilities. No one in Japan dared to say that Uesugi Muneyuki's professional abilities were lacking. But Uesugi Sakenori was different. The Faculty of History had a lot of criticism behind his back for his behavior of being promoted to the University of Tokyo through the Chinese community.

The grandfather and grandson waited, each minute and second feeling like being fried in a scalding oil pan. Uesugi Kuninori's gaze was intense, and even the expensive incense in the VIP waiting room could not dispel the gloom in his heart. He repeatedly stroked the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist, the names of his ancestors, which at this moment seemed to have become silent questions.

Why are you in such a hurry to send away the Cedar Pill?
Why can't we wait a little longer?

Why are Cedar Pill and Sentoku Pill so different? One has excess energy, while the other has such severe self-suppression.

Couldn't you share some of the Cedar Maru with your brother?

Grandpa felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought about the radiance and allure he saw on Minami's and Erina's faces this morning.

A well-fed wife doesn't know the hunger of a starving wife, and a starving wife doesn't know the emptiness of a well-fed wife!
Registration, initial consultation, and scale assessment—as one of the top ten hospitals in the world, the experienced professors at the University of Tokyo Hospital made their judgments on the spot.

Autonomic nervous system dysfunction!
The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Symptom Checklist for Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction were immediately scheduled, followed by blood tests, electrocardiograms, and core examinations such as heart rate variability analysis.

Medical history, scales, electrocardiogram, preliminary HRV report.

The results finally came out as dusk approached in the afternoon.

Finally, the results came out. The professor of internal medicine at the University of Tokyo, wearing a white coat, was calm, even with a hint of professional regret, as he handed him a detailed examination report.

"Professor Uesugi, Takamori Sadayonori's body... has no organic lesions." The doctor's words were clear and calm. "His reproductive system functions completely normally."

Uesugi Kuninori's heart sank, but then a faint glimmer of hope rose within him: "Then... why is that?"

“The problem lies here,” the doctor said, pointing to the complex electroneurogram and assessment results on the report. “We detected that Dingxianjun has severe autonomic nervous system dysfunction, also known as autonomic nervous system disorder. His sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are in a state of long-term, abnormal tension and imbalance, leading to a series of physiological and psychological symptoms, including extreme fatigue, anxiety, sleep disorders… and very serious functional impairment—specifically, in terms of sexual function, a complete inhibition.”

“Vegetative-nervous system…disorder?” Kuninori Uesugi murmured repeatedly. This medical term was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, but at this moment it felt like a cold shackle.

"Yes. The root of this disorder is indeed as Zong Xuejun revealed... related to some very unpleasant traumatic events he experienced during his adolescence... involving women, which formed a deep psychological shadow. This shadow was strongly triggered in adulthood, especially under the enormous pressure of marriage and intimate relationships. Coupled with his current high-intensity work at the academy, the enormous mental pressure and long-term overexertion, it's like adding fuel to the fire, pushing this neurological disorder to an extremely serious level."

"Can it be cured?" Uesugi Kuninori's voice trembled without him even realizing it. He stared intently into the doctor's eyes, as if they were his only lifeline.

The professor remained silent for a moment, those brief few seconds feeling like an eternity to Kuninori Uesugi. Finally, the professor spoke slowly, with a heavy sense of apology:
“Bang Xian-san, we will do our utmost to intervene, including medication, neuromodulation therapy, and in-depth psychological counseling. However…” The professor of internal medicine paused, carefully choosing his words, “This severe autonomic nervous system disorder, induced by deep psychological trauma and a long-term high-pressure environment, has a very complex pathological mechanism. The treatment process will be quite lengthy, and… it is difficult to guarantee a complete and thorough cure, restoring him to his ideal state. This requires time, the cooperation of Ding Xian-jun himself with extremely strong willpower, and also… an element of luck.”

"It's very difficult...to completely cure..." These words, like cold hammer blows, pounded heavily on Uesugi Kuninori's heart, again and again. The light report in his hand suddenly felt incredibly heavy. It wasn't a matter of orientation, nor a physical disability, but an invisible shackle binding his very nerves! A shadow from the past, a cage reinforced by the pressures of reality! The authoritative diagnosis from the University of Tokyo Hospital had practically pronounced a death sentence on his hope of holding a great-grandchild. It wasn't "impossible," but "extremely difficult"—this despair tinged with a sliver of hope was more suffocating than a direct verdict.

Uesugi Kuninori felt a strong wave of dizziness, his vision blurred, and he almost couldn't stand. The heavy books in his study, symbols of wisdom and heritage, and the ancient objects representing the family's glory, all became a blurry background. His carefully planned future—a vision of four generations living together, a continuous bloodline, and the Uesugi family having successors—collapsed and vanished in an instant, like a sandcastle blown away by a storm, amidst the doctor's regretful pronouncement.

Uesugi Muneyuki quickly helped his grandfather up, but he couldn't hold back his soul.

A chilling despair spread rapidly from his feet to his entire body, freezing his blood and numbing his nerves. Uesugi Kuninori's 74 years of life, his eloquent pronouncements on the University of Tokyo podium, and his strategic maneuvering throughout history all seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

"Why don't we consider IVF? Professor, didn't you say that my brother's body has no functional loss?" Uesugi Muneyuki quickly said.

“In this situation, IVF (in vitro fertilization) is almost impossible.” The professor from Tokyo University naturally thought of this, and the obstetrics professor in charge of the consultation added.

He explained why simply.

Sperm retrieval is required for in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the biggest challenge in overcoming the severe inhibition caused by autonomic nervous system dysfunction lies here.

The method of sperm collection in IVF is very primitive; to put it simply, it involves deer!
However, Uesugi Sakunori already had severe sexual repression, so the success rate of sperm retrieval under such circumstances was almost zero, and it might even worsen his condition.

In addition to vibration stimulation and electrical stimulation, the same principle applies to people like him who suffer from sexual inhibition and PTSD due to trauma. Such mechanical contact may also trigger strong psychological rejection and physiological discomfort, resulting in a very low success rate.

Of course, the University of Tokyo is the University of Tokyo after all, and there are other options besides that.

Sperm collection via puncture.

However, after discussion, the professors at the University of Tokyo concluded that this was not feasible. Firstly, the surgery itself is still an invasive procedure, which could cause him enormous psychological stress and anxiety, exacerbating his symptoms of autonomic nervous system disorder.

Furthermore, the severe and prolonged psychological stress and autonomic nervous system disorder had already seriously affected Uesugi Sadenori's endocrine system. Under such circumstances, the quality of the sperm retrieved would almost certainly be poor. In vitro fertilization is a huge physical and mental test for women, and if it cannot be done quickly, the couple will suffer another major blow.

This is not merely "somewhat difficult," but rather a nearly unsolvable problem stemming from the very nature of the illness.

"Until Mr. Sadenori Uesugi's psychological trauma and autonomic nervous system function have significantly improved, and he is at least able to tolerate the sperm retrieval procedure, we do not recommend starting an IVF cycle, as the risk of failure is extremely high and may cause further psychological harm to the patient," said the professional team at the University of Tokyo Hospital.

The Uesugi family head's face turned completely ashen.

When he looked at Uesugi Muneyuki, in an instant, the old man's cloudy eyes burst with an incredulous light, and his withered body seemed to be injected with a powerful stimulant!

"Cedar!!!" The old man gripped Uesugi Muneyuki's wrist tightly, with a force so great it was almost maniacal: "My cedar!!!"

"Do you know what? You are the last Uesugi!"

"Family name, you absolutely must protect it!!!"
