Afterward, Kanna explained the items to Amiya, and after listening, Amiya's entire small face became contorted.
Aside from the teething toy and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the other two items could, to some extent, solve the problem of fatal late-stage oripathy. However, the cost was extremely high: one involved not being human, and the other also involved not being human. In short, they could save a life, but there was no guarantee of what the person would turn into afterward.
"Then what will the person saved by your Poke Ball ultimately become? And will the transformed creature still be Infected with oripathy?" Doctor, from the side, was quite interested in this. After all, an seemingly ordinary sphere could completely transform the creature inside into a different form, which completely defied science and common sense.
Kanna glanced at Doctor. He was a male Doctor!
Although his head was completely covered, his voice sounded like a man over thirty, steady and deep, and his simple words inspired a sense of trust.
"I don't know either~ How about we find someone to try it? Like someone with a severe, incurable illness. After all, it's better to live poorly than to die well, right? Although I don't know what they'll turn into, you never know if something works until you've tried it..."
After Kanna finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned to the supervisor, Kal'tsit. After all, "human experimentation" could absolutely not be conducted on Rhodes Island without her approval.
"Wait, I'll make a call..." After a moment of Silence, Kal'tsit picked up her communicator and walked aside.
"Logically speaking, I wouldn't support such completely uncertain human experimentation. However, there is an Operator in the Rhodes Island Medical Department who was seriously injured in a previous battle. His originium concentration has recently risen sharply and is no longer controllable. I just asked him, and he is willing to accept this experiment."
Kal'tsit picked up the Poke Ball and walked into the Medical Department. Everyone followed behind her. They walked to the deepest part of the Medical Department, where a white-haired older sister was holding a file and recording something. Kanna immediately recognized her as Shining.
"Could Nightingale be inside?"
Kanna's heart fluttered. Seeing the other party, and thinking of the relationship between the black and white devils, Kanna felt a wave of nervousness.
But after walking over, she found it wasn't Nightingale, but a young man. It was clear that the originium crystals on his body had reached an extremely exaggerated degree, almost identical to Dahlia's state at the brink of death.
Seeing Kal'tsit approach with a group of people, Shining shook her head.
"The originium concentration in his blood has already exceeded 0.64 u/L and is still rising. In my estimation, he will die from excessive originium concentration in at most three days."
Kal'tsit nodded to her, then took the Poke Ball and walked in alone. Everyone else watched the situation inside through the window.
"I've told you the specific situation. This thing might save your life, but the cost is that afterward, you might never be able to live as a human again. Are you sure you choose this path?"
Even though she usually disliked Kanna's ability to cause trouble, Kal'tsit had a high degree of trust in her behavior and rhetoric in formal settings; otherwise, she wouldn't have proactively brought the Poke Ball in.
The young man nodded, "Cough, cough! Doctor Kal'tsit, do I have a choice...? I've heard about Dahlia's situation. She was probably similar to me back then... I don't want to become a monster, but I also don't want to die. I still want to stay with Rhodes Island and my teammates and continue on..."
Looking at the eyes filled with a desire to live, Kal'tsit raised the Poke Ball and aimed it at him.
"Afterward, you will find yourself in a dark place. Don't worry, don't be afraid, and don't resist. I will let you out when it's over."
The young man blinked, "Then I'll leave it to you, Doctor Kal'tsit."
After the young man finished speaking, Kal'tsit pressed the button, and in the next second, the young man on the bed disappeared from the room.
Kal'tsit held the Poke Ball in her hand and looked outside.
"How long will this transformation take?"
Hearing Kal'tsit's words, Kanna opened her system. At this moment, after Kal'tsit put the patient in, information began to appear.
Detected a living creature entering the Poke Ball. The target has no resistance. Poke Ball loaded successfully.
Transformation plan initiated. Estimated transformation time: ten minutes.
Kanna spread her hands in front of her, "About ten minutes..."
Kal'tsit placed the Poke Ball on the bed, then stood by the doorway, staring at the target's position.
"By the way, what's this Operator's name, and what are his specialties?" Kanna asked Amiya, who was beside her.
"His name is Block. He's a Guard Operator. His report says that before this, he was skilled with dual blades and had very agile movements, a good hand under Sharp.
However, during a mission, he encountered Sarkaz mercenaries. Although he repelled them, Block was injured by their originium dust explosives. Because he inhaled a large amount of originium dust, the originium concentration in his body rapidly increased, and we haven't been able to effectively lower it for a long time."
Shining, from the side, looked at the situation in the room, her eyes filled with curiosity. Even with Kal'tsit's endorsement, it was still somewhat hard for her to accept. What kind of method could pull a severely Infected oripathy patient back from the hands of death? As for the change in biological form, she wasn't concerned. She only hoped to witness it firsthand, then see if it could be used for her friend's treatment.
Ten minutes later, the Poke Ball's button began to flash continuously, and after shaking in front of everyone, it stopped again.
"What's going on?" Amiya asked.
"Uh, it's like a newborn bird; he probably can't break out of the shell himself... How about Doctor Kal'tsit, you try pressing that button?" Kanna didn't know what was happening either, but the system showed that the transformation was complete. So, Kanna guessed that the other party most likely didn't understand how to get out and was trapped inside.
Kal'tsit heard Kanna's explanation and walked over, carefully picking up the Poke Ball. With a gentle press, a flash of light appeared, and a never-before-seen creature appeared before her.
It was a green creature. The wings on its back indicated its ability to fly, and its hands had transformed into two gleaming battle blades.
Kanna recognized it at a glance: it was the very famous, handsome, and powerful Scyther from Pokémon.
"What am I...?" Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes at the creature inside. Before they could feel fear or dread, a familiar voice, exactly like the young man's from before, came from the mantis's mouth.
"Block? Is that you?" Kal'tsit frowned, looking at the giant "mantis" before her.
