Chapter 354: Chapter 354

"Ladies and gentlemen, you all saw Miss Matsumoto Mina’s reaction just now."

"I believe if you know anything about me, you’d be aware that I study ancient Chinese medicine. Within this field, there is a method that can relieve people of pain and restore their vitality in a short period."

"This phenomenon is commonly known as a ’final surge of vitality before death’!"

"Therefore, even if we master this method, we would never use it lightly, unless the patient is truly at the end of their tether, with unfulfilled wishes or messages they want to convey to their loved ones."

"As for the Revival Dan that Miss Matsumoto Mina used, I suspect its principle is somewhat similar!"

Matsumoto Mina unconsciously squinted her eyes. For a moment, she even doubted whether An Yan really knew something. Matsumoto Mina subtly clenched her fingers, striving to appear calm.

She even smiled and said, "Miss An Yan’s speculation is very interesting!"

By positioning herself as a mere spectator, her emotions wouldn’t be affected by An Yan’s statements anymore. No matter how An Yan slanders or tries to mislead everyone, the effectiveness of the Revival Dan speaks for itself. Everyone will recognize it sooner or later, so there’s no need for her to engage in a verbal dispute with An Yan!

"Sister Yan, are you saying that this isn’t a life-saving medicine, but rather a deadly poison?" Su Siming inquired thoughtfully.

An Yan nodded. "I personally believe it is. However, there is no actual evidence to support this, so I will reserve my opinion for now. If you believe what I’ve said makes sense, you can continue to observe Watanabe Isorou. I predict his life will end very soon."

Matsumoto Mina’s heart stirred. Why did it feel like An Yan really knew what the Revival Dan was? No, how could she possibly know? They had always kept tight control over this medicine; without access to it, how could An Yan know? It must be another bluff! Matsumoto Mina convinced herself once again and stood quietly, not rebutting or making a sound.

The netizens were shocked by An Yan’s words.

[But, can a final surge of vitality last for ten days?]

[The competition lasts for half a month, and five days have already passed. If they dare to administer this medicine, they must think that this person can live until the end of the competition. Miss An Yan, are you sure you’re not joking with me?]

[Didn’t you understand the previous comment? Miss An Yan means they used something similar to a final surge of vitality. ’Similar’ obviously doesn’t mean ’the same.’ Besides, if they want to scam money with this medicine, they definitely need to keep the patient alive as long as possible to succeed in the deception!]

「Inside the commentators’ room.」

He Nianchen and Lu Yuan exchanged glances.

They naturally trusted An Yan; after all, everything she had done before showed she was indeed a very capable physician.

But to conclude that Watanabe Isorou wouldn’t live much longer just from a single visit—wasn’t that a bit reckless?

Eguchi Kyugen said to Johns Nade in English, "Nonsense! She’s just jealous! Jealous that our Team R has such Divine Medicine!"

Johns Nade just smiled and didn’t say a word.

"Whether it’s jealousy or not, time will tell. Why is Mr. Eguchi Kyugen in such a hurry?" He Nianchen said.

Lu Yuan added, "Mr. Eguchi isn’t in a hurry. He’s clearly emphasizing that the Revival Dan is a Divine Medicine. After all, with all the buildup, it naturally needs to be stressed emphatically!"

An Yan paid no attention to what the netizens were saying, what people at the scene were thinking or discussing, or even what Matsumoto Mina’s changing facial expressions meant.

All her thoughts were on what to do next! Because she hadn’t actually told the whole story. Through observing Watanabe Isorou, An Yan had confirmed that the so-called Revival Dan was actually a drug that prematurely burned the body’s vitality, allowing the patient not to feel pain. But in fact, the cancerous areas were still progressing, and existing conditions continued to deteriorate. Once the vitality was completely burned out, the person would die. But a person’s death didn’t mean they couldn’t move anymore. As long as the Revival Dan remained in the body, it would continuously absorb the vitality of the patient’s blood relatives. This would allow the body to maintain free and flexible movement. Perhaps some would say to just announce this information, let instruments confirm the person is indeed dead. But the problem is, he’s dead, yet his body is still, in a way, alive. Not announcing it might be manageable. However, once announced, it would be an implicit acknowledgment that the Revival Dan truly works. By then, the Matsumoto Group would truly be elevated to a divine status. So, for now, the only solution is to ensure Watanabe Isorou dies when he is supposed to.

"Go investigate Watanabe Isorou’s family connections." Follow current novels on Nove1Fire.net

In less than half an hour, Wen Ge had all the information.

Watanabe Isorou came from a large family. His grandfather was an influential official who, besides Watanabe Isorou’s grandmother, had seven other wives.

These eight women bore him a total of twenty-six children.

These twenty-six children married and, in turn, had many offspring. Isorou was named for being ranked fiftieth in their family!

In other words, even after Watanabe Isorou exhausted his own vitality, an unending stream of relatives could supply him with theirs!

An Yan’s brows furrowed tightly. There were ten days left!

Seeing An Yan’s deeply furrowed brows, everyone in the conference room remained silent, trying their best not to make any noise that might disturb her.

Half an hour later, Yan An, having finished his work, took out his phone. He typed a message and showed it to An Yan: "What are you thinking? Tell us, so we can discuss it together."

An Yan looked up at Yan An and said, "Watanabe Isorou’s situation is very problematic! Let’s go to the lounge and discuss this further."

Everyone, except for Li Hui and Wen Ya who were still in the patient’s room, went to the lounge.

"The Revival Dan has another critical effect: it can absorb the vitality of relatives for the user’s benefit. This means that even if the user’s body dies, they can appear to continue living."

"So, is Watanabe Isorou’s illness cured or not?" Mu Enyu asked.

"If cancer patients can live for a long, long time, then the presence of cancer cells in their bodies becomes irrelevant," Liang Chen replied.

"Does that mean as long as someone takes the Revival Dan, regardless of whether their illness is cured, they are no longer affected by disease?" Zhang Zhilan asked.

Mu Enyu muttered, "Then it’s practically a cure-all!"

Ya Zhuo spoke up, "There’s another implication. Once one person takes the Revival Dan, all their blood relatives must contribute their vitality to that individual! This means if one person falls ill, the entire family’s lifespan will be shortened."
