Pollution throughout the territory - #321 - Chapter 317 Patient No. 3
Xia Ren thought about it for a long time but couldn’t figure it out. He could only think that the relationship between the World Superman Association and the Salvation Foundation was too close, so that everyone regarded them as common sense and felt that there was no need to remind them, but they never thought of returning it. There are really people who don’t even know this common sense.
After Niu Changshou answered Xia Ren’s question, he turned all his attention to the patient on the bed.
He put his hand on the patient’s neck and murmured to himself: “Heart rate 90, body temperature 37.5 degrees, blood pressure 75, 50, blood oxygen saturation…”
Then, a “beep” sound came from Niu Changshou’s body, and Xia Ren watched him scan the patient from head to toe with a slow but precise speed.
“It’s really strange.”
Niu Changshou touched his chin, “There is only slight inflammation in the body, and no parasites are found. However, the condition of the brain is the same as the anatomy cases shown before, with a small hollow-like hole appearing…”
Xia Ren was shocked. Even if he knew he was a robot, it would be acceptable to measure his heart rate, but it would be too exaggerated to be able to see the internal images of his body at a glance.
“Are you a humanoid detector?” he asked.
“yes.”
Niu Changshou said confidently: “Is there anything surprising about this?”
“…”
Xia Ren felt that there was a crack in his understanding of the world.
He finally realized how Liu Fusheng felt when he saw him and Qin Yun enter the room and give birth to a baby within five minutes.
“This young man doesn’t have much time left to live. When he wakes up in the afternoon, let him have a video call with his family.”
Niu Changshou clapped his hands and walked away from the hospital bed. From his expression, you couldn’t tell his mood when he said this, but his tone was as normal as eating and drinking.
Xia Ren inexplicably remembered something Jiufeng said.
“We’re in a world where you better get used to people dying around you as quickly as possible.”
It seems that Niu Changshou belongs to the type of people who have adapted.
No, it’s a robot.
“This alone can’t confirm anything. Let’s go see the next patient.”
The vice president and the two professors followed Niu Changshou and left the ward.
Xia Ren glanced at the pale young man on the hospital bed. Although rootless water can help repair human tissue, if you want to repair it perfectly, there is a prerequisite, which is that the rootless water already exists in the body before the injury.
In particular, the injured part of this young man’s brain was a delicate one, and it involved functional areas. If he forcibly used Rootless Water, not only would he be able to heal only a few strands, but it might even lead to uncontrollable serious consequences.
Any attempt to contaminate must be done with caution, otherwise you have to be mentally prepared to create a monster with your own hands.
Xia Ren shook his head and led Qin Yun and the others out of the ward.
In the next ten minutes, they saw five more patients in succession. The main symptoms of these five patients were all different, but they all had the main characteristics of atypical entomophobia, that is, they also suffered from entomophobia. and sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome.
Niu Changshou checked them one by one, and the results he got were not much different from the original boy.
Although all five patients were patients with atypical entomophobia, only one of them had a small part of his brain missing, and the brains of several other patients could not be found to be abnormal based on their appearance alone.
And compared with patients with brain loss, the symptoms of other patients are obviously much milder.
“It seems that the presence of hollow-like holes in the brain is an important basis for judging whether atypical entomophobia has entered a certain stage.”
Niu Changshou stood in the corridor, silently summarizing the conditions of several patients.
“Don’t you want to continue reading?”
The deputy dean asked from the side.
Niu Changshou turned his head and said, “This much is enough.”
The vice president hesitated for a moment and said firmly: “There is another case that is quite special, so I would like to ask scholars to take a look at it before making a judgment.”
“oh?”
Niu Changshou became interested: “Then let’s take a look at this special case as you said.”
They went up to the fifth floor and entered a ward.
There was also only one patient inside, a little girl of five or six years old, wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, with short hair that reached her chin, and a fleshy face with baby fat.
Unlike other patients, this little girl was not connected to any equipment or infused, so her symptoms did not seem to be serious.
The girl was sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed, looking forward, her body motionless and looking a little sluggish.
“Is this the special case you’re talking about?”
Niu Changshou walked to the girl and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
“Little girl, what are you thinking about?”
He deliberately used a gentle enough tone, but he received no response.
The little girl seemed not to have noticed the presence of Niu Changshou at all, her eyes were still staring blankly ahead, and her body was motionless.
The smile on Niu Changshou’s face disappeared. He tried to reach out and hold the girl’s little hand and put it on her wrist.
During the whole process, the little girl also had no reaction, like a doll at the mercy of others.
After a few seconds, Niu Changshou’s brows gradually wrinkled and his eyes became serious.
Seeing this, Xia Ren also stepped forward.
In fact, when he saw those patients before, he really wanted to stretch out his tentacles to check them one by one, but he held back because he was afraid that Niu Changshou would misunderstand them and cause unnecessary trouble.
Looking closely, Xia Ren found that there was no trace of a living person in the little girl’s eyes.
There is no emotion, no joy, anger, sorrow, or joy, and it doesn’t seem like he is in a daze. It is like a deep, calm well, without a trace of ripples, which makes people feel scared.
“puppet.”
This word popped up in Xia Ren’s mind.
This little girl is like a puppet.
“This is the patient we discovered half a month ago. Because there were three of them discovered together, she is the youngest, so I call her Patient No. 3. The other two have died, and she is the only one who is still alive.
Patient No. 3 was rather strange. The examination revealed that her brain had no damage and her vital signs were at normal levels. Apart from her fear of bugs and epileptic seizures every night, no other illness could be diagnosed.
Her nervous system is basically intact, her knee jerk and pupillary reflexes are normal, and she has certain conditioned reflexes and the ability to move independently. For example, when food is brought to her mouth, she will open her mouth to chew, swallow, and carry her to the toilet. She can also urinate and defecate on her own, but when strong light is shined on her eyes, she will not close her eyes or turn her head away, nor will she respond to the voices of her relatives. When insects or mealworms are placed in front of her eyes, she will show strong fear and perform evasive actions.
Even the most experienced neurology professors have never encountered this kind of situation. It’s like… a semi-vegetative state. “
After listening quietly to the introduction by the vice dean, Niu Changshou let go of the little girl’s wrist and fell into deep thought.
When Xia Ren wasn’t paying attention, he secretly sent a drop of rootless water into the little girl’s body, but after looking around, he found that her body was not harmed in any way.
Perhaps he was stimulated by the Rootless Water. As soon as Xia Ren took it back, he saw the girl’s lips starting to open and close slightly, as if she was telling something.
He turned his head and listened attentively, but the other party’s voice was too soft. Even with level two perception ability, he could only intermittently hear a small part of the content.
“Their spiers…are deeper than…the tombs
There is…light…illuminating
Only wingless worms can travel to and from the tomb
The tomb… lies under the sky and the waves…”
