Back to the Future Sword of Sichen

Chapter 17 The Tooth Fairy’s Personal Story

The breeze was not dry today, the khaki mountains were golden in the sun, the tall cacti became more beautiful after being soaked by the rain, and the arrogant engine sound of a yellow Cadillac cut through the quiet Highway 66.

However, since the introduction of the Interstate Highway Act, this Cadillac model has rarely been seen on the highway. It has turned from prosperity to decline and has become an antique that few people care about.

The car radio was playing the program "Eastern Tornado", and the dust kicked up by the vehicle was flying in the air and falling. In this day and age, vehicles are a necessity for every American family, and for the Tooth Fairy who has just turned eighteen , driving alone in a car on the highway is a new experience.

Not long ago, the Tooth Fairy received a call from her mentor. The sudden call was the reason why she embarked on this journey.

Her father told her that she could successfully complete her studies at Mayo with the help of her mentor. The Tooth Fairy was grateful to her mentor. After all, when she first came to school, she did not have the school equipment.

Her mentor was very kind to her, and she could be said to be his most proud disciple. Whenever her mentor talked about her to other people, the smile on her face couldn't stop overflowing, and her mentor would praise her as a genius every time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a genius. Her case is enough to leave the strongest mark in the history of Mayo graduates.

It had been about half a year since they last met, and it was just a regular phone call. But after this call, the Tooth Fairy decided to visit his mentor, bringing a bottle of Stags Leap Winery Cabernet Sauvignon with him.

To be honest, the Tooth Fairy has just grown up and has no experience in driving across half of the continent. He rarely sees vehicles along the way, and the scenery along the way is left behind. Few people's lives are smooth sailing, and the same goes for driving.

A black shadow appeared on the road at an unknown moment. The Tooth Fairy turned the steering wheel sharply and pressed the brakes to the bottom. The vehicle turned its head instantly. The harsh braking sound cut through the silent road, and the car left long and narrow wheel marks on the road surface.

When the vehicle came to a complete stop, the Tooth Fairy's heart was beating rapidly. She could hardly breathe, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of black cloth.

Among her collections was a blood-stained baby tooth, which was the last thing she wanted to collect...

The child fell in a pool of blood. He was small and thin, and his whole body was almost soaked in blood. The unfortunate child was hit by her, and there were several horrific fractures on his body.

She picked up the phone with trembling hands and dialed the number of the emergency center. No one would have thought that a child would suddenly appear on this road that is surrounded by the wilderness. Even a small animal would not find it strange.

The emergency center will arrive in about fifty minutes, but the boy's injuries are too severe. If they don't arrive in ten minutes, he will die from excessive blood loss.

There are nothing but mountains around, and not even a shadow of rubble can be seen. In fact, the Tooth Fairy can use non-human treatment methods to treat this little boy.

It's just that... she wasn't sure, but the blood from the wound had soaked the soil red, and the boy's face was getting paler. She still made up her mind and adopted the same treatment methods used by occultists to treat the poor boy.

This was the first time she used the occultist's method of treatment to treat an ordinary human being. The first time she was not sure about the dosage... The first "Tooth Fairy" was eaten by him, then the second and the third, and so on. To the fifth one.

"Successful..." The Tooth Fairy breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned against the vehicle and felt weak. The boy's complexion was gradually recovering, and the Tooth Fairy was also glad that the treatment was successful.

She took the little boy to a nearby motel, where he regained consciousness and the Tooth Fairy asked him several questions—a necessary process to assess whether a patient's nerves were damaged.

The boy's name was John Garcia, and he lived in the nearby town of Mare. The reason why he ran into the middle of the road... was because his beetle ran onto the road.

This encounter will be unforgettable for him. At least he will not run out on the road next time. Fortunately, he met the Tooth Fairy, otherwise he would have to be reincarnated.

The little boy was very well-behaved. He lay on the bed without crying. He was even happy because his baby tooth fell out. The Tooth Fairy always likes such well-behaved children. The boy did not ask for his baby tooth back. The Tooth Fairy was rummaging in his pocket for something. .

There were many things in her pocket, most of which were teeth. Of course, there were also candies that children liked to eat... But to be honest, when the boy called her grandma, she felt speechless for a moment.

In ancient times, the 15-year-old Wei Mingye was called uncle by little Tingting, and now the 18-year-old Tooth Fairy is called grandma... History is always surprisingly similar.

However, there was an old woman named Susie near the little boy's house. She was also an occultist, but she had a bad temper, but she still gave the boy some corn chips, which were one of the most delicious things he had ever eaten.

The little boy was very grateful to the Tooth Fairy for saving him. He exchanged a tooth with the Tooth Fairy for a piece of candy. The owner of this tooth was a bloodhound, but his blood was not pure... He seemed to be a little malnourished. Just like this skinny boy.

The little boy thought that the tooth fairy was very powerful and could actually save him. However, in fact, occultists are not omnipotent, and there are still many incurable diseases in the world.

The little boy invited the Tooth Fairy to visit his mother. The Tooth Fairy did not refuse. After a long rest, he took the little boy and drove the Cadillac to Mare Town.

Calling this place a "small town" is an exaggeration. The dilapidated walls and earth-yellow hills are almost integrated into one. The wind has brought up a piece of yellow sand. The so-called road has long been damaged and buried forever in the yellow sand.

Most of the people here have moved away, leaving only a few residents. The thin bloodhound is hiding in an abandoned house, watching the visiting strangers warily.

The house of John's family was very small, the room was dimly lit by candle light, and there was not a single window on the four walls.

John's mother was lying on the only piece of furniture in the room. Her face was shriveled and her hair was thin and hanging on her scalp. She was surprised by the arrival of the Tooth Fairy, and she used all her strength to even speak.

The tooth fairy examined her. Diseases are terrible things. They can make a healthy person become lifeless, and they can also turn a wealthy family into ruins.

It tears dignity to shreds, throws away this worthless thing like trash, and then leaves a person more naked than when he was born.

And incurable diseases are even more terrifying demons. Death is not the scariest part of it, but the process of moving towards death is the most painful, just like John's mother...

That day, the Tooth Fairy ran out of the "Tooth Fairy" he had brought with him.

John's mother fell into a deep sleep, and John was very happy. His mother had never slept so peacefully before. Her cough was very painful, and it became more severe at night, which made her often unable to sleep well.

The sunset was turning red as the evening approached, the irritating high temperature gradually faded away, and there was a hint of coolness in the evening breeze.

There are still many incurable diseases in the world. This is a fact that must be faced when entering the medical field. The boy does not feel sad about this, maybe he has already become numb.

He asked the Tooth Fairy to wait for him where he was. The round trip didn't take long, and the boy held a sharp tooth in his hand.

The boy said that he had exchanged two packs of Toto's hair with Grandma Susie for Toto, the skinny bloodhound. The grandmother told him that as long as he made a sincere wish on the tooth, it would be able to grant whatever he asked for.

It was like a wish-making prop in a fairy tale. John prayed to it every day, hoping that his mother would get better. He probably caught a beetle and forgot to pray, so the tooth did not fulfill his wish.

This tooth is indeed precious. It is called Luopan tooth and comes from a winged flying dragon that lives on the rocks of Wemboy Island. But the one in John's hand is a fake, a man-made product.

But even if it is genuine, it has no wish-fulfilling effect. It may be just a psychological comfort given by an old man to a child.

Later, the Tooth Fairy left the town, and the fake was kept by her, and it remains one of the most precious treasures in her collection.

Motel beds are uncomfortable and can create nightmares.

A long time ago, maybe sixteen or fifteen years old. In college, the Tooth Fairy had no sense of belonging, it was a dispensable thing.

Students will be curious about the strange device on her face. Is it plastic surgery for her teeth? Or do you fix your face to look good? This device made her extremely conspicuous in the crowd.

When she was in college, she had been suffering from wisdom teeth. Every night, the pain caused by the wisdom teeth made her tossing and turning and unable to sleep. The wisdom teeth were like a knife, almost cutting her body into pieces. The pain went straight to the bone marrow. At that time, , her little velvet bag (the bag used to hold teeth) was still empty.

She is a child of the Campbell family, and her mother warned her that humans and occultists must live in harmony, and that the two are inseparable communities.

Maybe it's not that difficult? The truth is often far from satisfactory. At the little occultist's birthday party, she became the funny clown at the party. They laughed at her for interacting with humans.

In the human kindergarten, she was treated as a monster by other children, a monster with an iron fence on her face.

Children's malice is often the purest, but at least it can still be seen. As they grow older, the malice is carefully disguised, which makes it even more terrifying.

Injuries that are almost impossible to treat in human medicine are probably treatable in mystical medicine. The Tooth Fairy has many questions, starting from his childhood and thinking about the day when his wisdom teeth fell out.

Maybe mystics are mystics, and humans are humans. Just like the two kinds of medicine, there are clear differences. Maybe one day, mystics can coexist with humans, but will that day really come? At least not now.

She used mystical magic that day, and the whole process was painless. Her wisdom teeth fell out, and many problems were solved at that moment.

She has to go her own way, and there are some things that a child shouldn't be responsible for.

A few days later, she met her mentor, a professor named Evan who looked amiable, but his hair turned gray early in his middle age.

He arranged a comfortable hotel room for the Tooth Fairy. It was the Duke's Room. Compared with the motel, it was like a dazzling star and a sinking sand. Of course, only his students could enjoy this kind of treatment.

In this meeting, there were faces she was familiar with, and there were many of them. Of course, most of them were humans. Regarding this meeting, she had talked about it in that chatty phone call. It seemed to be a human-led meeting. Meeting?

The protagonist of this meeting is called "melutol", which is a powerful analgesic and an opioid drug for moderate to severe pain.

The content inside once surprised the Tooth Fairy. It was a private project between her and her professor in college. It must have been brought up in this important meeting with the help of her parents.

Melutol is a human opioid drug combined with the restorative powers of the occult creature Winnebogo.

But will the drug work in humans? Or can humans withstand the restorative effects of Winnepogo and the pain of opioids?

If melrupol is successfully developed, it could save tens of thousands of cancer patients, open up entirely new markets and leave a mark on history.

But this goal is not the same as the Tooth Fairy's idea. After the meeting, Professor Evan gives her a gift, a bar mitzvah gift.

It was a milky white Luo Pan tooth, as if it was made by a top craftsman, and its color was as bright as a piece of jade. This Luo Pan tooth was very different from the Luo Pan tooth she had seen before.

The value of this tooth was enough to enable John and his mother to live without worries for half their lives.

She thought of the thin figure and John's mother who lay in bed fighting against the yellow sand all year round. Is this an arrangement of fate? That child treated her without prejudice, and that was the first time she felt recognized as an occultist.

The three gears of fate were closely linked, and she agreed to the project, which made Professor Evan extremely excited.

……

In the following time, the Tooth Fairy has been working on this project. Professor Evan has actually debugged the equipment very early. She only needs to develop reagents and take care of the experimental animals.

There are many animals, ranging from small rats to large dogs, and even different types of Cabangkru and Orituo. All she has to do is to inject reagents into them regularly and record their physical conditions truthfully.

It was also at that time that the IND was approved. Normally, it would take at least half a year or more for the IND to be approved. This was only a month later, thanks to Campbell's name.

But she didn't think too much at the time. Once the approval was approved, and after sorting out the relevant documents, she could enter the first phase of clinical trials. If the clinical application was not rejected by the FDA within thirty days, then they could recruit volunteers.

Of course, they were very confident that they would pass the application, so they started preparing a list of volunteers now. The Tooth Fairy immediately thought of John's mother, and she had a call with John. The call went very smoothly, and everything seemed to fall into place.

The Tooth Fairy had never felt so happy and joyful. From the corner of her eye, she saw that it was the white Kabunkru. The mysterious creature No. 12 suddenly twitched its body, and there was a small stone under its body. the teeth of.

At that time, the Tooth Fairy thought of many possibilities, but it only happened for a moment. She hung up the phone and left the laboratory happily.

……

The third phase of the experiment should be said to be the most time-consuming. It took at least six months to go back and forth. However, it only took three months for melrupol to obtain the marketing authorization. It will not be long before this kind of experiment is enough to rewrite human history. The medicine of history is about to come out.

People gathered together to celebrate, toasting to Melutol and the Campbell family - the success of Melutol is also due to the Campbell family's single-handed promotion.

But it all seemed to be going too smoothly, so smoothly that the Tooth Fairy felt creeped out. She was slightly uneasy. She didn't think humans could be compared with mystics, let alone use the medicines made by mystics.

When she returned to the laboratory, she was extremely shocked by what she saw. All the ordinary experimental animals were dead, and the wounds all over their bodies were left by the last struggle before death.

Compared to the dead animals, those Kabunkru and Orituo were dying in the cage, breathless. The white Kabangklu had long since lost its breath, and its broken teeth were scattered on the ground.

A familiar voice sounded from behind, and everything became clear, the meeting, the teeth, the too-fast review speed, and even the list of employees who were about to join the pharmaceutical company.

She had never thought that the professor could be such a person. Her heart died, and the professor's tall figure also collapsed in her mind. He was no longer the amiable professor.

Later, when she returned to the hotel, John's last message on the phone was that his mother had passed away and John hoped that the Tooth Fairy would come to the funeral.

The Tooth Fairy's hand holding the phone was trembling. She couldn't imagine how much pain John's mother suffered before she died, just like those dead animals...

Perhaps this was the last time she saw the professor. The professor who treated her well showed a ferocious face at the last moment. When this drug is launched, most of the money will flow into his pocket.

And those who buy the drugs will either die in pain or become naked addicts due to the extremely addictive nature of the drugs.

Professor Evan doesn't care about this, he only wants money, money that is full of charming smell! Has the professor changed, or has he always been like this? It’s just that the Tooth Fairy has never been seen before.

There is an adult front tooth in the Tooth Fairy's collection. After arguing with the professor for the first and last time, the usually gentle Tooth Fairy got into a fight, pinning the professor to the ground and beating him.

"Fuck!" It was hard to imagine that such words could be spoken by a lady. Tears flashed in the Tooth Fairy's eyes, and his heavy fists kept falling on the professor's face.

The bloody front tooth fell out of the mouth of the man who reeked of money. It was a tooth that disgusted her, and the story contained in it was enough for her to remember.

After that, the drug scandal was exposed, and that man spent more than half of his money in order to suppress the matter. The money was poured into public relations before the matter was settled. That man must not be able to sleep at night.

Occultists are occultists, humans are humans, and Oxer is Oxel. What Duanmu said makes sense. Similarly, the Tooth Fairy has always believed in this truth after this incident.

The Tooth Fairy still failed to prevent Melutol from going on the market, but her family took action to modify the ingredients of the drug before it was put on the market. Although it could not cure cancer and had a certain degree of addiction, it was better than what that stupid man did.

In the end, her mother gave her an application for employment at the St. Love Foundation. The St. Love Foundation lacked an experienced, gentle and patient school nurse. If the Tooth Fairy was willing, he could come to the foundation to work at any time.
