Conan Rick's Investigator

Qin Zhibo arrived at the wise man's home in Wusa Town on the mountain with ease and asked him if he had prepared all the tools for the cat's sterilization surgery.

The flow of time in the dream world is faster than in the real world, so Qin Zhibo was not surprised when Attar said he was ready.

Attar took out a package from the cabinet and opened it. Inside was a cloth-wrapped precision scalpel, surgical tweezers, surgical needles, etc.

"These were all bought at the port of Dilas-Lin from the ship doctors with black jibs."

"If it weren't for the cat problem in town, we wouldn't be doing business with them."

Qin Zhibo picked up the willow-leaf-shaped scalpel. Although it was a little different from the ones used in pet hospitals in the real world, it was sharp enough and could be used in the same way.

"Where are the anesthetic and eye drops?"

Atal brought out two more small jars and said, "I bought these in the town of Dilas-Lin. The local doctors use them to give people anesthesia."

Qin Zhibo looked at the transparent liquid inside and didn't know what the dosage was for cats, so he could only use the first few cats as test subjects.

Now everything is ready, all that’s left is the cat’s vaccination.

Cats undergoing sterilization surgery need to receive a triple vaccine first to prevent viruses from invading during the operation.

However, everything else can be assembled here, except the vaccine, which requires a certain technology tree to develop and cannot be assembled by force.

Qin Zhibo then asked the wise man Atar: "If you are infected with a virus, how do you usually treat it?"

"Virus? What does that mean? Venom?" Attar was confused.

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and asked again in a different way.

"If you have diarrhea or a bunch of small blisters on your skin, how would you treat it?"

Qin Zhibo was talking about diarrhea and herpes, which are the main symptoms of calicivirus and herpesvirus.

But Atar still shook his head. "I don't understand. This disease has never appeared in Uzha, and I haven't heard of it appearing anywhere else."

After Atar said this, Qin Zhibo suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

Could it be that there is no virus in Dreamland at all?

Ryohei Matsumoto once said that the laws of this world cannot be measured by the cognition of the waking world, because this world is a parallel world composed of human subconsciousness and imagination.

Since it is a world made up of the subconscious and imagination, viruses cannot be produced through real-world methods.

Although the technology in this world is backward, it is not lacking in productivity, and there have been no major epidemics such as smallpox and melancholy.

The reason is that there are no viruses in this world at all!

After thinking this through, Qin Zhibo immediately gained confidence.

If there is no virus at all, what's the point of getting a vaccine?

Just do it!

……

Under the leadership of Atal, Qin Zhibo went to the barn again and met the Maine Coon cat that led the cat clan.

Qin Zhibo respectfully told him that everything was ready and the sterilization operation could be performed at any time.

However, since this is the first sterilization operation in this world, the first few cats may suffer some pain.

General Cat thought for a moment, raised his front paw, and assigned a cat to serve as the first test subject.

This cat is the orange Garfield who was chatting with the female cat next to him when General Cat was speaking last time.

"This is it. New rules will be established on it."

General Cat said so.

After obtaining the first test subject, Qin Zhibo went to the operating site under the guidance of Atar and the townspeople.

Since Wusa Town is a gathering place for cats, once the sterilization operation is successful, it will become a tradition here, so it is not possible without a fixed operation site.

Atal took Qin Zhibo to an uninhabited courtyard on the edge of town and said, "This place is perfect for sterilizing cats."

Qin Zhibo looked at the dilapidated and desolate courtyard. There was a large piece of abandoned farmland next to the courtyard. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.

"Is there anything special about this place?" Qin Zhibo couldn't help but ask.

Atal nodded and murmured, "When I was a child, an old tenant farmer and his wife lived here."

"This couple, because they hate the sound of cats, torture them for fun, setting traps to kill any cat that comes near. The people in the town are afraid of this eccentric couple and dare not speak out."

"Later, a wandering caravan from the south stopped in the town of Ulthar. There was a little boy in the caravan who often held his black cat."

"One day, the little boy's cat was lost and couldn't be found. The townspeople then speculated that the couple had abused and killed the black cat."

"The boy prayed to the sun, and the clouds in the sky condensed into a strange, hazy shape. Oh~ It was a creature with many biological characteristics..."

"That night, the caravan hurriedly left Ulthar Town, and all the cats in the town disappeared with it."

"But the next day, I saw with my own eyes that the cats were standing in front of this courtyard, pacing slowly and solemnly!"

"They are performing some ancient and solemn ritual!"

"It wasn't until a few days later that all the cats returned to their owners. Their fur seemed to be shinier and their bellies had become rounder..."

"And the old tenant farmer couple were reduced to clean-shaven human skeletons."

"Since then, there has been a new law in Wusa: No one in Wusa can kill a cat."

Attar spoke vividly, and when he got excited, his cloudy eyes almost popped out.

Qin Zhibo could see that this was his personal experience, not an ancient rumor.

"So, this used to be a place where cats were tortured?"

Atal nodded. "I guess so. However, what you are about to do has been approved by the cat tribe in advance. You don't have to worry about offending their gods."

"All right……"

After Atar said this, Qin Zhibo felt under a lot of pressure.

If there is a surgical accident, wouldn’t it be like killing a cat in Wusa Town?

Qin Zhibo pushed open the door and a rotten smell came out from inside.

Several townspeople came in, cleaned the room, opened the windows to let in some air, and it immediately became much cleaner.

The site and tools are ready, and the operation can begin.

A Garfield cat walked in with a cocky expression and a graceful cat walk, obviously not knowing what was going to happen next.

……

Qin Zhibo put Garfield on the table and fed him some anesthetic first.

Since General Cat's orders are iron laws among the cat clan, Garfield must drink the medicine even if he doesn't want to.

This is an anesthetic for humans. Qin Zhibo did not feed him too much, only half a bottle cap.

After just two minutes, the orange Garfield cat lost consciousness and fell into drowsiness.

While under anesthesia, the cat's eyelids are open.

Qin Zhibo put eye drops in the cat's eyes, put on gloves, took the cat's tongue out of its mouth and straightened it to prevent it from biting its tongue when it woke up.

Next, it’s time to show the real technology.

This Garfield cat is a male cat with two balls hanging on his butt. He is quite capable.

Qin Zhibo picked up the town barber's razor and shaved his testicles and the hair around them first.

After scraping it clean, use a scalpel to make a small cut on the testicle.

Qin Zhibo followed the operation of Dr. Inugami in his memory with every step he took, and would rather be slow than make mistakes.

After the incision, the testicles are taken out, the blood vessels and spermatic cord are ligated, and the first one is completed.

Repeat the previous steps again to process the second one.

Surgery complete!

The entire operation did not require suturing, as the incision would shrink and repair on its own, so it only took a dozen minutes to complete.

And most of this time is spent shaving the balls.

……

When Qin Zhibo came out carrying Garfield who had just undergone surgery, countless townspeople and cats were already standing outside.

It is normal for townspeople to come and watch. They are the ones most directly affected by the cat infestation, and they would be more than happy to have their cats sterilized.

The cats watching were curious and had no idea what was going on inside.

Seeing Qin Zhibo carrying the cat out just a short while after going in, Attar's heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"Dead, dead?"

Atar was very panicked. Although it was just a cat that died, he felt more panicked than witnessing the death of a person.

As the oldest wise man in the town of Usa, he witnessed with his own eyes the cats performing a solemn ceremony and in turn executing humans.

Other townspeople were also talking about it, and many of them had expressions of fear on their faces.

Although General Cat agreed to the sterilization surgery, cats are known for their capricious temperaments and can turn against someone at any time.

There is an old saying in Wusa Town: "People change their minds faster than cats." This is what it means.

Just as Atal and the townspeople were feeling anxious, Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment and explained, "What are you thinking? The cat is still alive."

"It's just that the operation was done too quickly and the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet. It will take some time for him to wake up."

After hearing this, Attar and the townspeople breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as if they had survived a disaster.

After performing the surgery on this male cat, Qin Zhibo performed sterilization surgery on several male cats in succession.

Not only that, Qin Zhibo also invited several skillful townspeople to come in and watch.

The reason is simple. Even though the sterilization surgery for a male cat only takes 10 minutes, there are tens of thousands of cats in the entire town of Wusa.

Not to mention the more time-consuming sterilization surgery for female cats.

So Qin Zhibo decided to share this technology with the townspeople of Wusa Town so that they could also have the ability to perform surgery.

After rehearsing ten operations in a row, Qin Zhibo felt a little dizzy.

He knew it was time to wake up.

……

8:30, Trojan Manor, Room 205.

Qin Zhibo rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly stood up from the tatami.

After undergoing the sterilization surgery all night, Qin Zhibo felt that his mind was full of cat balls. He was a little confused and not very clear-headed.

He went to the bathroom to wash his face and exercised a bit, and then he felt much more refreshed.

Arriving at the door of Shuichi Akai's room, Qin Zhibo pushed the door open a little and glanced at Shuichi Akai lying on the bed.

He was seen sleeping on his side in bed, facing the other side, with his clothes neatly folded on the wheelchair.

He should still be sleeping, so I won't disturb him...

I'll go buy breakfast first.

Qin Zhibo closed the door gently, and both his movement and sound were barely noticeable.

But the moment the door closed, Shuichi Akai on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

Chapter 1044 Link Start!

Qin Zhibo got dressed and went out to buy breakfast.

At this time, the landlord of Mu Ma Manor, Sugiura, happened to come back from outside.

"Good morning, Mr. Sugiura, are you going...?"

Shan Pu smiled and said, "I just went to send my son to school... By the way, Mr. Qin, how did you sleep here last night?"

Qin Zhibo responded with a polite compliment, "It's quite good. This place is very quiet and very suitable for living."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Sugiura was stunned, with a confused expression on his face.
