Chapter 250
Garrett Nordmark held the surgical knife and questioned life.
Can’t cut it?
Can’t move it?
Is this corpse frozen too hard? Should I wait a bit longer for it to thaw completely? Or should I add so heat, like, set the microwave to defrost mode, and turn it on for three minutes?
Or maybe, is it because I forgot to bow to the anatomy teacher in advance?
NEVER!
That’s the enemy, a spy who infiltrated the laboratory to sabotage, not the anatomy teacher!
Just like in a dical school in Northeast China, the corpses used for dissection are all from the little devils of that year, and the school teachers and students never bow to them!
Or...
He collected himself, pinching the knife handle between his thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky, while placing his index finger on the back of the knife. The knife tip was at a right angle to the incision, and he tried to stab downwards. This knife had been refined through countless trials, the standard surgical grip, impeccable in posture, angle, and force. The skin of the corpse’s abdon slightly gave way, but...
Even with Garrett exerting all his strength, the resistance did not diminish, showing no sign of being pierced.
Ah, indeed, it’s really hard to cut when it’s frozen stiff. How long has it been since I felt this sensation? Since I started working, I’ve only been cutting living people. I haven’t cut an anatomy teacher...
Ugh, soaking in formalin for so long, it feels really hard to cut. When I make the incision, it feels as tough as cowhide. And formalin stings the eyes, while this ice coffin is thawing, at least it doesn’t have any sll yet.
But still, not being able to cut is ultimately a problem. Garrett pondered for a while, looking left and right. If it were any other physical task, even if it were carrying a thigh or resetting bones, Bernard could do it without any problem, but dissection...
Can I entrust this delicate task to him? Entrusting it to him wouldn’t be dissection; it would be chopping at with a big knife! Besides, dissection is a kind of work, but also a kind of enjoynt, sothing that cannot be entrusted to others!
He looked left and right. On both sides, the necromancers were laughing—each one was covered in protective gear, with black leather robes, shiny beaks, and a range of laughter coming from beneath the bird masks, sounding particularly eerie. Under the pale light of the shadowless lamp, Garrett reflexively shuddered:
How did I let them wear these clothes?
Why didn’t I let them wear surgical gowns?
If everyone wore surgical gowns, they wouldn’t look so scary...
...Well, first, it’s necessary to wear protective gear when dissecting a corpse carrying pathogens. Second, there aren’t the thin, light disposable protective suits made of PE PP fabric from my previous life. What I’m wearing now is also a black leather jumpsuit...
Archmage Edgar chuckled repeatedly. Not being able to cut a corpse despite trying was sothing most young necromancers encountered. Whether it was cleaning up animal corpses, helping teachers clean up high-level enemy corpses, or traveling on their own and luckily killing high-level enemies...
"Little Garrett," he said, offering suggestions while laughing, "need so help? It’s indeed quite difficult to cut this corpse... He was a Level 7 thief when he was alive..."
A Level 7 thief... Garrett imdiately felt discouraged. If he couldn’t cut open a Level 5 knight, let alone a Level 7 one. Even if a thief’s defense wasn’t as strong as a knight’s, they were still physical professions, and their bodies were quite sturdy!
"Any ideas...?" Garrett imdiately sought help. The necromancers beside him burst into laughter, offering suggestions one after another:
"How about casting a [Decay] spell? It’s very useful when making skeleton soldiers. When the flesh rots away, the bones beco easy to extract..."
Garrett shook his head rapidly. Are you kidding ? I want to perform a dissection, not bone extraction! If I wanted to extract bones, wouldn’t I use a big pot to cook them? Boil them quickly at high temperature and pressure, and it’ll be fast, and it can also kill bacteria. The orthopedics departnt next door is the best at it...
"Maybe the knife isn’t fast enough? How about enchanting your knife with [Magic Weapon]? Then you’ll be able to cut through..."
Good idea, why didn’t I think of that? Garrett gave a thumbs up to the necromancer who made the suggestion, raising the surgical knife in one hand and preparing to cast a spell with the other. [Magic Weapon] is a 1st-tier spell, and he had already learned it, so it wouldn’t be difficult to cast it himself...
Before he could finish casting the spell, the blade of
the surgical knife suddenly trembled in his hand.
The knife trembled more and more, and Garrett suddenly realized that the trembling of the knife was actually caused by the vibration of the air!
"Watch out!" soone cried out, but it was already too late. With a dull "bang
