Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 387

Episode 387: Anti-aging [1]

Getting younger.

This is… … .

In fact, it can be said to be a common desire of mankind.

If something goes wrong, it's more likely to be true if you say it's because it's England.

This is something that even Britain can find a bit unfair.

Look at Qin Shi Huang.

I've even been scammed by a conman once while trying to find the elixir of life.

‘Well… … I guess other kings wouldn’t be an exception.’

In the East, there is a concept called elixir.

It's something that appears all the time in martial arts novels, and sometimes in movies and dramas.

It is actually a medicine that kings and emperors took to live longer, and the name Danza means 'red'.

Among the substances that can produce red color, is there anything that, if eaten, would somehow extend lifespan and allow you to do various things?

Yes, it's mercury.

'I guess the reason kings die young is because of mercury.'

It seems that mercury wasn't the only thing that was strange here.

In the East, they also did all sorts of things with mercury.

Moreover, mercury seems to have had a special position in India, which had a unique and independent civilization due to the isolation of civilization caused by the Himalayas.

This knowledge is not accurate, as it is something I came across in comics and games.

anyway.

I opened my mouth to resolve the issue of taking someone else's blood, which started from the same desire.

“The main targets of surveillance are those who are wealthy and powerful enough to receive other people’s blood, but who were not originally on our surveillance list.”

“Yeah. But why were our people watching?”

I laughed in disbelief at Liston's words.

The key people on our side we are talking about here are Duke Damien and Duke Jamie.

Why did the two of you get involved with us in the first place?

That's what happened when I cut off my body parts.

One of them even did cocaine.

He will probably go down in history as the first person in European aristocracy to use cocaine.

“I see. That makes sense. Well, that could be possible.”

When I stopped laughing and said this, Liston nodded and said, "Indeed."

He added, 'Our people were the worst kind of people.'

It may not be the worst, but… … .

So, if you ask who is worse, I don't really have anything to say.

“But what kind of surveillance was done?”

While Liston nodded and I remained silent, Blundell opened his mouth.

Since he was the highest authority on blood transfusions, except for me, his questions had weight.

In fact, not only the police, but also mothers who were losing too much blood were being saved with blood transfusions, so in some ways, including me, I could say that it was the best.

“There are no injection marks on my arm. But even so, if you are going to receive blood transfusions habitually, you should have marks, right?”

“Well… I see. Oh, right. There’ll be a mark from the injection. Now that I think about it, our people didn’t have anything like that.”

“It can’t be helped. I told you so sternly.”

Fortunately… … Jamie Sir’s granddaughter-in-law didn’t seem to have any particular illness.

Surprisingly, there seemed to be no syphilis or other diseases in the family.

Well, I can't say for sure since I can't do anything about the possibility of contracting an invisible chronic disease.

Anyway, from that time on, I remember Sir Jamie actually saying something unsettling.

'The Opium Wars too… … Anyway, I don't know what's in that guy's head.'

I thought he was stupid, but when he did something bad, he was really calm and collected… … .

He said that if he received blood from a young and healthy person in this way, he would become healthy too.

what…….

Nothing has been revealed in human experiments.

However, experiments on rats did show some of that tendency.

I was surprised, even though I doubted that Sir Jamie knew the results of the experiment and said it, and it was probably a statement derived from the firm Christian and ancient belief that blood is life.

“At that time, I said that it was dangerous because there would definitely be miasma mixed in the blood.”

“Do you… hear that?”

“You have to listen. Everything has been going on up until now.”

“Well, Sir Jamie’s life has been particularly eventful.”

Every time I see it, I think of body parts, so I talk about body parts, but there's also arsenic, diabetes, and cocaine…

It is no exaggeration to say that a human being has committed every evil deed that can be committed against his own body.

And since it was almost thanks to me that he survived, it was only natural that he listened to me.

“How far did you go… Ah. Right. You’re mainly looking at those powerful people and those who have to sell their blood?”

“Even if the former is true, the latter… there must be several million on the streets of London.”

Blundell too readily mentioned that there were millions of people who had to sell blood to survive.

It wasn't because I was reckless.

That was true.

In fact, there were a huge number of people in London who could be classified as extremely poor.

“Among them, there are those who suddenly act like they have fortunes.”

"huh?"

“Just think about it. Professor Blundell and the police have already created a system in collaboration, and they are giving you money, right?”

"yes."

“But why don’t you do it there and do it under the table… So you have to work with people who are more skilled, but isn’t it because they pay you more?”

“Ah…… I see. I’ll give you more money.”

“There will probably be fewer or no time constraints.”

“You keep drawing blood? Then I’ll die.”

“Do you care if the poor die? Even if you paid for it?”

I paid the money, so you die for me.

If you wonder if this is a possible idea, you are a modern person who has lived too preciously.

People who don't know the 19th century might think that the 21st century is the vanguard of capitalism, but in fact, 19th century capitalism was the strongest.

This could be said to be the embodiment of materialism.

“Well, if you paid the money, it was a fair transaction.”

“There must be a contract. Then what…….”

Even Europe has known the horrors of contracts since long ago, not in the 19th century.

When you look at The Merchant of Venice, all people can say about Shylock's evil deeds is curse.

why?

That's because the contract was made that way.

“But that’s not right. We have to make a fuss.”

“Right. That’s why you didn’t call the police.”

of course…….

I don't think that means we have to follow all of them.

Not only me, but everyone gathered here felt the same way.

So the meeting proceeded very quickly.

First, we decided to look into those in power who are out of favor and those in the slums whose spending habits have recently improved.

There were also opinions that it would be good to include this in the monitoring target because if there was no interval between blood transfusions or if the interval was extremely short, health would have deteriorated or death would have occurred… … .

-I think it would be harder to find someone who isn't like that among the poor.

Liston's rational opinion was defeated.

“Okay, then everyone disperse!”

Our opinions were adjusted to the simplest possible terms and conveyed to the gang.

“A rich man who got rich by chance. Right?”

I guess it had to be done that way since most of them didn't receive proper education, but I also thought it was a bit too much.

But if you think about it, it doesn't matter since we will personally step in and take care of the rich people who shouldn't be messed with.

So, having spread our gang across the streets of London, we each dispersed to do our own thing.

Strangely, I thought that if I earned money, things would become more comfortable, but that wasn't the case.

I'm getting busier and busier.

It's not just me, it's the same for other guys too.

Liston still had to act as a human guillotine because there were so many people coming to cut him.

The disciples are also being deployed in the field, and are mainly focusing on circumcision, diabetes treatment, and some testicular fluid treatment.

Jon Snow is doing what I tell him to do.

“Hmm.”

What am I doing?

I'm thinking about it for now.

It may sound like a fool to say this, but there are few people who worry as much about the future of humanity as I do.

'Oh my god… … To think that he would just squirt any blood into his veins.'

It may be a bit odd to say this, but isn't this a situation where there are no vampires?

Even then, vampires are better.

He doesn't get sick.

No, even if you get caught you won't die.

Because it's already been done.

But people are like that… … .

Even in a place like 19th century London, where all kinds of diseases were rampant, doing that would kill you.

'The problem is that this isn't due to some evil sorcery, but simply a desire to be young.'

Bad guys should be killed.

You might think that it's too easy to talk about death as a doctor, but there's nothing I can do about it.

If you want to go fast, you have to kill those who need to be killed.

But I think this time it's not because they're bad, it's because they don't know much, and above all, it's because of the common desire of humanity.

'I don't know, but… … I think our people would want to try it too? If only the effect was certain.'

Can that desire be corrected?

It would be possible to completely control it like North Korea, so that the desire itself does not arise, but in London, which is truly entering the Belle Époque era, that is impossible.

Rather, if you suppress it, it will do more due to the reaction.

I don't know about other places, but these guys are like that.

It's a bit odd to say that it's something unique to island countries.

'Is this an Anglo-Saxon characteristic?'

If you tell them not to do something, they'll do it more, really.

I'm just going to America.

It's only in the 21st century that airplanes take off and things like that, so if you say you've gone to America, people will say, "That's it." Now…

I know because I've been there, it's not usually that long.

Even when we first went there, the navigation skills were lacking, the ships were bad, and above all, there was no proper route, so it would have been farther and more dangerous.

But when I told him not to, he felt bad and just left.

'We need to provide an alternative.'

There's one thing I realized while working as a show doctor.

It's much easier to use people's desires to suit my own tastes than to suppress them.

As a result, aren't hospitals thriving more?

It beautifully blew away the question of how one could live better here.

'Anti-aging… … The 21st century was such a time.'

Moreover, this desire has not been corrected even in the 21st century.

At the same time, it wasn't even resolved… … .

Despite this, business was good.

What this means is that as long as it sounds plausible, even a scam will work.

In that sense, I can say that I am very advantageous.

Because it's Kim Tae-pyeong.

“Huh huhu…….”

Finally, after much thought, I headed to the basement.

There, there was the result of me copying what my father was doing out of the corner of my eye.

"town."

Since I'm working on collecting yeast, I smell a savory but somewhat strange smell.

But despite that, laughter was still flowing out.

It was because of an advertisement that had left an impression on me since I was young.

'Didn't the brewery workers say that they found it strange that everyone else had old hands but only the hands of the brewery workers were soft and smooth?'
