Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 221 - Diagnosis

Canon seemed a little intrigued after listening to Ning.

"While your words have a lot of confidence to them, young man. I'm afraid my old self isn't able to find out if you are truthful or not. What if you harm my son more than you will heal him?" Canon asked.

The audience nodded when they heard him speak and looked towards Ning. Ning thought for a moment and said, "How about this then. I won't treat your son."

Canon frowned a little. "What will you do then?" he asked.

"I will instead just diagnose him. I will check him and tell you what the problem is, as well as what the solution to the problem is. Aside from that, I will use no medicine or equipment on your son. That should be enough to not have you worry about me harming your son, right?" Ning asked.

Canon thought for a moment and asked, "What is your name, son?"

"My name is Ning," he said. He didn't give a family name as only Nobles were allowed to have those.

"Ning'¦ I see. Very well, I won't waste this opportunity at the slightest chance that you may have some skill. I will take you to my son in a little bit. Anyone else here who has any other solutions?" Canon asked.

A few others suggested some doctors they knew. Canon made his son note the names of those that hadn't been to the house and soon ended the party.

Once it had ended, the group of people left back to their own homes. A few people got a little annoyed at how short the party was for what they had paid, but surprisingly, as they were leaving, the guards handed them back the 10 rops they had taken as entry fee.

After that, they had no right to get angry at all.

"Please come with me, Doctor Ning," Canon said and took Ning inside the mansion, along with his eldest son and his two bodyguards.

Ning was surprised when he saw the inside of the mansion. The floor was lined with white marble and the walls were colored in stark white. The ceiling was at least 8 meters high and the whole mansion looked massive.

He was taken through a bunch of winding corridors to a room that had nothing in it but a single bed with the second son in it. There were 2 female maids who took care of him, and as soon as Canon entered, they bowed and left.

"This is my son, Zand. Doctor Ning, he's been on a liquid diet ever since he was paralyzed. So, we've kept him in this room, away from the other servants. Please see if you can find anything wrong with him," Canon said. He was hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

Ning walked forward and almost assumed that the kid was normal. He had a steady rise and fall of his chest as he breathed. He slowly opened his eyes after hearing the noise and looked towards Ning.

His drowsy eyes seemed to be filled with hate when he saw him. 'Damn, does he hate doctors now or what?" he thought. 'I would get angry too if I had doctors coming in and out of my room with not a single one treating me, I guess.'

"I will do some checkup now. If you feel nothing, blink once. If you feel anything, blink twice, and if you feel pain, blink thrice, Okay? Blink once if you understood," Ning said.

Zand looked directly at him and blinked once. Ning took off the bed sheet covering his body and revealed a scrawny looking figure. He was in a far worse situation than what Mavenna was in, and she was in a coma.

'How is he in such a bad condition? I thought he was given nutrients daily,' Ning thought. He pinched the big toes on both of his feet one after another. "Feel anything?" he asked.

Zand blinked only once. 'No huh? I guess he really is paralyzed. Ning went up a bit and pinched his calf. "Now?"

Zand blinked only once. Thigh, hips, stomach, chest, and neck; Ning pinched all but Zand didn't feel anything. 'He's already suffering from muscle atrophy,' Ning thought.

He then pinched his cheeks and Zand blinked twice. 'So, not only is he paralyzed, but he has also lost all feelings as well. Now that's troublesome,' Ning thought.

"Can you come here," Ning called one of the bodyguard. The man walked forward and stood next to Ning.

"Go on the other side of the bed and watch his eyes. Tell me if he blinks once or twice, okay?" Ning said. The servant nodded and went to the other side of the bed.

Ning caught Zand and flipped him easily such that he was now looking straight at the servant. He then started poking around on his back.

"Now?" he asked.

"Once," the servant answered.

Ning changed position and asked, "Now?"

"Once."

"How about now?"

"Once."

"Now?" Ning asked as he poked in a different location.

The servant waited for a little longer and answered, "Thrice."

Ning changed position and asked, "No' Wait, three times?"

"Yes," the servant answered.

Ning went back to the previous position and asked, " here?"
