Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Li Yao's hair rose one by one.

And Zhang Daniu looked at each other and saw the cold chills in their eyes.

The words from each other were as creepy as the ghost stories of midnight. Li Yao seemed to see a picture of this - beside a tiny reservoir in a remote town in the south, someone sang a mountain song in a local low and gentle dialect, but a confused young girl stared at the reservoir and floated a flower yellow flower on the water...

Li Yao shook his head hard and tried to calm himself down.

There are, of course, many “reasonable” and “scientific” explanations for this, such as the fact that "Dreamtraveler” has traveled to this southern town of Cha-chuan, or that he has collected local terrain and landscapes online.

But why?

Why use this to scare your own sister when she is diagnosed with schizophrenia?

The whole thing doesn't make any sense.

Not to mention the Ark.

Li Yaosheng asked, “What happened to the Ark Foundation? You couldn't have sent your brother to the Ark Psychotherapy Center from the beginning, could you? ”

“Of course not. ”

The other side said, "At first, we sent our brother to our local hospital, but we were a small place, the specialized psychiatric hospital was small, the level of doctors was not very bright, people didn't know much about mental illness, they only knew the concept of 'lunatics’, our hospital, just shut these lunatics down, don't let them run out to harm society, cause trouble for their families.

“It can be wondered how bad such a treatment environment really is.

“I've been to that place three times, then, it's not a place where people stay. When I think of my brother being guilty in that place, I cut my heart like a knife and want to cry without tears.

“The provincial and urban psychiatric hospitals, of course, are in better condition, but I looked at a lot of information and found that they are not very effective in treating mental illnesses, and can only be conservative, at best in a better environment, with some norms of care.

“If my brother is really crazy, there is nothing to say about this outcome, but Cha-chuan's journey raises deep doubts - doubts that are the only reason I came into contact with the Ark Foundation, including today's willingness to be honest with you.

“When I came back from Cha-chuan, I doubted everything and could no longer bear to have my brother locked up in a psychiatric hospital with a harsh environment, but there was no other way, so I wrote down my experience and sent a help letter. ”

“Oh?”

Li Yao did not expect that “Dreamtraveler" 's sister had also sent related posts, but think about the myriad strange things that pop up on the Internet every day, 99% of them will be inundated with invalid information, and naturally it is impossible for him to see them.

“In a few days, a woman who calls herself an Ark Foundation staff contacted me and asked me about her brother, in particular his pathological course. ”

They continued, "After I said everything in 1510, they said that my brother may not be a schizophrenic, but another new and more special type of mental illness, and that their foundation's 'psychotherapy center' has one in 10,000 hopes of curing the disease, and even if it can't be cured, their treatment environment is much better than that of our county or provincial hospitals, so as to ensure as much as possible that patients are in a very comfortable environment, and that care is more normative and careful. ”

“Really?”

Li Yao thought about it and said, "Sounds good, it must be expensive, and this kind of private medical center is not necessarily reimbursable. Can your family afford long-term medical treatment? ”

“No, they don't want money. ”

"The staff member said that the brother could be placed in a 'charitable medical program', and that all the costs of hospitalization were covered by the Ark Foundation, at the cost that they might try some unproven cutting-edge medical treatment on the brother - which is also well understood, how could schizophrenia and other illnesses be cured without particularly advanced, particularly dangerous, cutting-edge medical treatment? ”

“So you promised? “

Li Yao asked.

“We, we have no way. ”

The other party sobbed again, “I also know that the Ark Foundation provided a very risky medical plan, even a little bit of what it meant to use my brother as a 'white mouse', but at that time, my brother was in a very bad condition, he actually tried to commit suicide three times during the hospital treatment, without tools, he bit his wrist with his teeth and scratched his wound, and finally in the middle of the night, he chewed the blood vessels off his wrist, and then shoved his hand into the quilt so that no one could find him. Otherwise, the doctor would have checked the room, and he would have succeeded!

“When he was still awake, he told me that he didn't want to die, let alone commit suicide, that he had some kind of power to control him and that his shadow wanted to kill him!

“What are our local hospitals doing? If he doesn't want to continue to commit suicide, he can only wear a restraint suit 24 hours a day and inject a high-intensity tranquilizer -- a tranquilizer that can also cause irreversible brain damage -- and what's the difference between my brother and death after three or five years?

“Through my brother's original boss, the psychiatrist at the provincial capital hospital also came to see my brother, although not explicitly stated, but it can be seen that they don't have a particularly effective targeted treatment solution, even if sent to the provincial capital, still, like this, in restraints, sedatives —— how smart and proud my brother was, I don't want him to become a big and small incontinent, suicidal idiot and madman for the rest of his life, with a glimmer of hope, I'm willing to try!

“Moreover, I have investigated the Ark Foundation through a number of channels, without any problems, their offices and a temporary medical centre, and I have personally visited it. It is true that the environment is much better than that of county hospitals and provincial psychiatric hospitals. It is said that there are also many internationally renowned associations of psychiatric and neurological experts who consult, and what am I worried about? ”

“Yes, Miss Dong, you have done the best you can. ”

Li Yao heard the tremor in his voice. Thinking about a girl who had just come out of society who could do this for her brother, it was really hard. She hurried to comfort her and said, "Well, can you tell me where your brother is being treated? Can you visit him often? ”

“Well, I'm afraid not. ”

He said, "My brother may not be in the country right now. ”

“Not in the country? ”

Li Yaofei blinked, “What do you mean? ”

“The Ark Foundation has offices and temporary medical centres in the country, but their real medical centre is overseas, and there is also a very sophisticated medical vessel, as if it were a supertanker modified to accommodate tens of thousands of patients and treat them simultaneously. ”

"Ark Foundation staff told me that many of their therapeutic methods, as well as the drugs they used, such as nanotechnology to intervene in the human brain, and ‘neuroplastin’ extracted from the ape brain, were in the process of approval by medical organizations around the world, because many of the means and drugs were highly controversial and even ethically risky, as in the case of cloned sheep in the past, so within three to five years it was difficult to obtain approval from medical institutions around the world.

This means that they cannot establish medical facilities in the territories of several major countries, nor can they engage in activities in areas such as medical and pharmaceutical sales within their territories, which is why this method is used to circumvent legal problems to the maximum extent possible by using a vessel registered in the Republic of Java as their mobile hospital.

“These things, as we explained beforehand, include a series of risks, we all know clearly and respect our opinions to the fullest, and our family thought long before sending our brother to the Ark Foundation.

“Although we can't go to see my brother often, but every week we videotape him remotely, and it turns out that after just a few weeks of treatment, my brother's condition is much better, he's fatter, his skin is a little dark, and the whole person has recovered from the old refreshments - the treatment works so well, what else can we worry about? ”

“It turns out that a medical vessel came from nowhere and went missing. ”

Li Yao closed his eyes and said, “Are you sure it was your brother who was talking to you on video? Since his condition has been relieved, did you say when he will recover and go home? ”

“Sure, that's my brother! ”

They laughed, "Do you suspect someone's pretending to be my brother? Why, my brother is not a great big man!

“As for when to go home, I also asked him, but he said that the Ark Foundation is not only so simple to treat mental illness, the main area of research is the 'human brain limit', they believe that 'genius and madman are only one line apart’, starting from the seemingly crazy brain, to break the limits of human intelligence and soul. In short, the Ark Foundation brings together countless elites from all over the world, and my brother makes a lot of good friends there, and possibly stays with the Ark Foundation - my brother's schizophrenia has been recorded in the hospital, and it is difficult for big companies in the country to recruit such a person who has been 'mad'? If he is ill and has the possibility of staying at the Ark Foundation for work, our family has no problem. ”

“Got it, thank you, Miss Dong. ”

Li Yao solemnly thanked each other for his work and then asked about some of the Ark Foundation staff. However, it sounded no different from the general medical facilities. Finally, Li Yao merely recorded the addresses of several Ark Foundation offices and temporary medical centers. After thanking each other again, he hung up.
