Plague Doctor

Outside another ward not far away, Gu Jun saw a friend of Chen Wenwei's, a patient named McLee.

Malley is also a 25-year-old young man sitting on a bed facing the glass window with his whole body slightly trembling uncontrollably.

His facial muscles had been severely atrophied, deep recesses in his eye sockets, blood filling his eyes, and strange eyes seemed to be on the edge of delirium.

“The nightmare disease is developing very rapidly.” Professor Qin added, "Wheeler was infected after looking at a post on the Internet, only six days before Chen Wenwei, it was already in the middle of the year, and the symptoms resembled multisystem atrophy. ”

In fact, some patients with nightmares have also been previously diagnosed with multisystem atrophy (MSA) in general hospitals, as MSA clinically manifests itself as sleep disorders, pronunciation disorders, autonomic neurological dysfunction, etc. The etiology of MSA has not yet been clarified by the medical community.

“Medium-term patients remain sober, but in very poor mental health, manifested in mania, anger, hostility and a tendency to attack, the same symptoms as chronic insomnia, and taking antimanic drugs such as okacipine has a certain inhibitory effect. ”

Gu Jun nodded slightly as he understood it. Nightmare does not seem to directly drive people crazy, but the multisystem shrinks, unable to sleep, and normal people are driven mad.

People who have not slept well for a long time generally tend to attack, which is all the more pronounced when it comes to those who affect their sleep.

This is also why the dormitories are prone to contradictions and even homicides, as the quality of sleep affects spirituality and physiology.

When a pedestrian walked into the ward, McLayton was much more excited than Chen Wenwei had just been, trembling and getting up, "Help! I want to sleep, I want to sleep..."

“Mr. Mac!” The two Operational Guards next door drank immediately, one pressed and the other loaded a shock gun.

His voice was blurred and swallowed, but he could still hear what he was saying.

“No, don't...” McLee cried in panic, with all the pain and fear on his face, "Don't! ”

All of a sudden, with a shout of excitement, McLee coughed up and spit something into his palms, a whole tooth with blood... McLee looked at this tooth, even more horrified on his face, making almost crying noise: “Ah...”

But Professor Qin, Tang Zhifeng and others were not surprised by this situation. A guard used a medical bag to put this tooth in and prepare to take it away.

Gu Jun looked at it with a heavy heart, but at this time, he had to do his job and go up to see what McLee's mouth was like.

The patient not only had a shrinking tongue, but also a shrinking gum. Several molars were missing in the upper and lower jaws, and every other tooth was loose, which seemed to pull the whole thing out with a little force. There is a deep blood hole in the left tip of the jaw just dropped, but not much blood is bleeding out. These gums are necrotizing...

After coming out of the ward, Professor Qin said: "In the medium term, the patient's oral tissue will shrink, the teeth will fall off one by one, it is difficult to swallow, can only eat liquid food. And immunity is declining, and by the end of the day, immunity may be completely lost. ”

Not many advanced patients are now admitted to NASA, almost all of whom have just progressed to advanced stages, and those who are more serious have already committed suicide before.

In another ward, Gu Jun saw an advanced patient.

The middle-aged man, whose surname was tied to the hospital bed fixedly, was insane and speechless because he was sedated and did not move.

The patient shrunk all over her body. The limbs revealed from the uniform were like skeletons. Her face was like a waxed yellow dead skin on a skeleton. There was only dementia and turbidity in her eyes, and she could not see half the light that could be called human nature.

“Advanced patients jump high when they can still walk.” Professor Qin sighed, “the reason is unclear. If death is unsuccessful and sedative, the patient will be in a state of dreamy delirium, unresponsive to external stimuli, but constantly whimpering and struggling. ”

Jump from height? Gu Jun thought of flying...

Freud said the dream of flying was because of the stress and the desire to be free.

Are those patients jumping on their feet just because they want to get out of their misery?

His mind felt a little blurred, as if he saw a lot of people jumping from the skyscraper, was that a hallucination trigger, or was it his own imagination?

Gu Jun tried to lift his mind and grasp that feeling, but it was just like grasping a little smoke...

No... he muttered in his heart, there is no direct connection, maybe the venue and scene are wrong, the perception is not strong enough to grasp.

Upon returning to the corridor outside, Gu Jun could only tell Professor Qin and Yao with such seriousness and helplessness, "I don't have any clear super perception. ”

He dared not judge, but nightmares may not have much to do with the alien world, or they may not have anything to do with the son of iron, the son of bad fortune, or he did not come into contact with it as a child, which is why he did not have the strong sense of emotion when he first saw the remains of the alien banyan...

At that time, without mental training, he triggered the illusion of a cadaver.

Wait... the body? That's all he thought about, the smoke was a little clearer...

“Supersensory?” Tang Zhifeng next to him was stunned. Isn't that something in the psychology category?

Yao Shinian and Professor Qin were all slightly disappointed when they heard the news. As soon as Gu Jun arrived, his hopes for a new turnaround were dashed.

“Ah-jun, you just got back. Yesterday you broke your mind again because of the exam. No rush.” Professor Qin strongly relieved, “you go back to the dorm and get some sleep. Tomorrow morning, these three patients will undergo experimental treatment with lobotomy, and you will see how it goes. ”

Leukotomy of the brain lobe? Gu Jun couldn't help but frown. It was a madness surgery that had been abandoned by the medical community, but now it seems that this situation can only be tried...

“Supersensory perception… refers to the kind of superpsychology?” Tang Zhifeng asked, not sure where Professor Qin brought Gu Jun back from.

“Just like that.” Yao Shinian nodded, no longer in doubt after having personally seen it, "Zhifeng, you will soon know the details. ”

Tang Zhifeng suspected that the two elderly people were just a little uncomfortable in their minds. Should the study of nightmare diseases really go in the direction of superpsychology...

“Professor Qin, I have an idea.” Gu Jun remarked that the matter of hypersensitivity was indeed related to mental state, but also to many other factors.

He looked calm and resolute, "I want to see the remains of the nightmare patients now, preferably by Tsai Zixuan and them with me, preferably in formalin. ”

The image of death will make his perception strong, which has been verified many times.

As for Cai Zixuan going with them to copy the scene, maybe there is something in it that he doesn't understand.
