Plague Doctor

"Old Xiao, do you want to try again?" Master Tong asked coldly, "How much more should I try before you are willing to believe it?"

"We can't try anymore." Dr. Shen said quickly. Gu Jun was mentally damaged and looked sick. Wu Shiyu helped him, and she didn't look good either.

Dr. Shen was really heartbroken. Now he almost regarded the two of them as his own children, so he quickly asked them to sit down on the chairs and rest.

"No... no need to try again..." Xiao Shihui finally regained his composure, but could only say very weak words: "I saw some hallucinations just now... It was a place that Jun mentioned in his last mission report. ...That feeling, like being swallowed up by something, must be caused by abnormal power..."

Yao Shinian, who also had hallucinations just now, said solemnly: "Maybe I am too familiar with that mantra, and it seems that I have been pulled into a whirlpool."

All the examiners, Zhang Danjie and others found it a bit unimaginable, but what happened just now was obvious to all.

In just a short period of time, Team Leader Xiao went from being full of energy just now to shrinking like a dead leaf, which made people worry about his condition.

Medical staff have come up to do some examinations on Xiao, Yao and Gu Wu, but Xiao Shihui shook his head and said no, "It's useless, it's all in the brain."

"It seems you really understand." Tong Ye's words were quite playful.

"I understand." Xiao Shihui looked at his subordinates and said hoarsely: "I believe that the human body can indeed possess extrasensory perception, and it can be controlled and used after training."

Everyone could no longer suppress their surprise. The inspector team didn't say anything, but more than a dozen examiners had questions, and they started talking loudly.

Xiao Shihui told them not to ask questions yet, and sighed and said: "Lao Tong, Lao Shen, your theory is right. The Bureau of Secrets needs to master this kind of power, especially now that abnormal powers are active..."

"There is a saying that the best time to plant trees was thirty years ago, and the second best time is now." Tong Ye's tone was no longer particularly sarcastic. "The spell department must be established immediately to gather resources to select talents, conduct research and train . It’s a little late to do this now, but it’s better than nothing.”

"You're right, right..." Xiao Shihui nodded and murmured, but it was a little late.

Seeing that Gu Jun almost lost control just now, and after using it once, he could only sit and rest. It was not a real spell.

Xiao Shihui can understand how to use extrasensory perception outside the laboratory and how to develop spells. This is still a matter that requires long-term research to produce results. After that, it will take more time to fully promote it to various departments. However, now is at least a beginning.

After resting for a while, Xiao Shihui's language skills gradually recovered, and he told Tong Ye and Gu Jun seriously.

"You will return to the headquarters with us tonight to start the establishment of the Spells Department and the completion of your mobile task force. Don't worry, the headquarters will fully support you."

Dr. Shen was very excited when he heard this. Before Gu Jun said anything, Professor Qin said urgently: "Team leader Xiao, Dongzhou needs Ajun more now. Let him go back with us first." Yao Shinian also said: "Ajun's life experience is special. The nightmare disease may be related to Lai Sheng. He may have some breakthrough perceptions when he goes back."

"Ajun can participate in Dongzhou's research work remotely." Xiao Shihui already had another consideration, and his attitude was very clear: "He is also needed at the headquarters."

The two old men Qin and Yao were silent for a moment. How could they not understand that the study of curses is now of top priority. With Gu Jun clearly demonstrating such supersensory perception, he has become an extremely valuable resource for the Tianji Bureau and a key to the curse. core talents for technical research work.

Nightmare Disease can only be contracted in Dongzhou. If Gu Jun gets infected when he returns, it will be a huge irreparable loss...

Remote participation in nightmare sickness research may seem like the best of both worlds, but...

"I definitely need Ajun." Tong Ye expressed his position, "But the early stage is just some administrative work. It's okay if he doesn't participate. It depends on his own wishes."

Still not letting the frowning Gu Jun say anything, Xiao Shihui called him into a laboratory to talk, "Ajun, come with me, let's talk."

The door slammed shut, and people outside could see them talking through the transparent glass windows, but couldn't hear what they were saying.

"There are some situations that I can't tell you clearly in front of everyone, but you should know about them."

Xiao Shihui told Gu Jun seriously, "The headquarters will not send large-scale reinforcements to Dongzhou for the time being. The evacuation of Tianji Bureau personnel will exceed the reinforcements. This will not change until the pathogenesis of nightmare disease is understood."

"Our current strategy is to control communications and personnel movement, isolate patients, gradually reduce new patients, and let the epidemic subside on its own. Of course, we must study how to treat and how to eliminate the source of the disease, but it is not just Dongzhou who is studying it, more The national elite and research work are at the headquarters, and the work of the headquarters may be even more important."

"Ajun." Xiao Shihui's tone gradually became calm and cordial, with some encouragement: "You will get better arrangements when you go to the headquarters. We will try our best to treat your tumor, and we will give you the best conditions."

Although the words of the two people could not be heard, everyone in the laboratory could guess that Team Leader Xiao was clarifying the interests to Gu Jun.

A situation where both options are valid and no one knows which one is right or wrong.

On one side is the safe, high-paying headquarters, and on the other side is the isolated plague city.

If Gu Jun chose to go back to the headquarters, it was understandable. Maybe it was a truly correct and wise choice.

If it were you, what would you do?

What choice?

This question flashed through the minds of some experimenters and members of the inspector team. They did not dare to say that they would choose to go to Dongzhou to take risks...

To study diseases, you must first be okay yourself. If you also fall ill, you can't do anything, right?

"Team Leader Xiao." Gu Jun exhaled, feeling a little confused, but he didn't know why, "I'm a medical student, and you won't really understand some pathologies unless you go to the clinic and see the patients in person. . Extrasensory perception can only appear in the field. For me, the real place for research on nightmare disease will only be Dongzhou."

"I understand how you feel." Xiao Shihui would appreciate this feeling at other times, "It's a good thing to have passion, but you also have to know where the overall situation is."

Xiao Shihui really didn't want to speak so bluntly. Gu Jun's life was already more important than the lives of some patients.

Gu Jun is a smart man, he will understand without having to point it out.

"Although you entered the Tianji Bureau as a clinical medical student, it does not mean that you have to stay on the frontline clinically." Xiao Shihui continued to persuade, "The work of each department in the Bureau is very important, and the Curses Department will only be more important. , you have such talent, you should have a new position. Don’t have any psychological burden!"

Team Leader Xiao was so sincere, Gu Jun thought about the prospects that the other party had painted for him.

Are you staying safe and comfortable in the headquarters, living like this month, just participating in experiments, research, and training?

No need to face those distortions and horrors, no need to face patients clinically...

Seems good?

It's just that some people and some things appeared in front of him.

The sadness and sadness I felt when the patient passed away in pain in the past, and the joy and relief when I successfully treated the patient all came flooding back.

This is not just a "psychological burden".

Maybe, maybe a smart person would make another choice, but Gu Jun... isn't that smart.

"Team Leader Xiao, I still have to go back." Gu Jun softened his voice, "I came here for special training not so that I can not be a doctor and hide behind, but so that I can better play a role on the front line. It is precisely because Dongzhou is now The situation is very bad, so I want to go back with Professor Qin and the others to see what I can do."

He said to the sullen Xiao Shihui, very accurately, "I am a doctor. No matter what epidemic situation there is, I should not retreat."

"...That's fine." Xiao Shihui took a deep look at him and nodded reluctantly, "Leave it to me to explain what to do at the headquarters. When you return to Dongzhou, be careful and cherish your own life. The Curses Department still needs you. talent.”

"Thank you for your understanding." Gu Jun responded seriously.

After the two walked out of the room, Xiao Shihui announced the result to everyone in the laboratory: "Ajun will go back to Dongzhou with Team Leader Yao and Professor Qin."

At this moment, Zhang Danjie and others looked at Gu Jun with complex admiration. He was indeed as tough a person as the information said.

Professor Qin was very pleased with this, and Yao Shinian praised: "Old Qin, you really didn't get the wrong person."

Without further ado, there was still a plane to catch, so Gu Jun immediately said goodbye to everyone who was going to the headquarters.

"Hey." Wu Shiyu looked at Gu Jun and asked her to tell her that his choice was stupid, but for some reason, he seemed very handsome.

She lowered her head and pressed it against his shoulder, saying like a ghost chanting: "Don't be afraid, it's okay. But you don't want to die. You know, some twins, if one dies, the other will die suddenly soon." Yes. Our current supersensory connection is no worse than that of twins. I haven’t lived enough yet. Ah, your shoulders are so salty.”

"Then you should be careful." Gu Jun laughed a little, "Spells are much more dangerous than surgery."

"Let it go." Wu Shiyu said again, hit his head and walked away, "My head hurts."

"Ajun, you kid, don't be so pushy." Tongye continued to tell Gu Jun. The smell of alcohol on his face could not deter his seriousness at this moment, "If you know about that nightmare, don't try to have a lucid dream by yourself. Don't have any Any attempt at that. If it's looking for you, don't let it find you."

"it"? Gu Jun was silent, what does Tongye mean? The transporter of nightmares?

Tong Ye said that he had told Professor Qin and others his thoughts and would participate remotely if there were any new situations in the future.

After Gu Jun finished talking to Tong Ye, he briefly chatted with Dr. Shen and others. This special training is over. He has really learned a lot and is very grateful to Dr. Shen and others for their care. Dr. Shen also told him to take care of himself, feeling a little reluctant.

After that, Gu Jun left the medical building and went back to the dormitory to pack his luggage. Apart from a box of clothes, there was only a backpack, most of which were medical books.

Then at nightfall, he took his luggage and followed Professor Qin into an off-road vehicle heading to a nearby military airport.

The weather was very bad at this time, with heavy rain falling and rumbles of thunder filling the dark sky. Fortunately, it won't rain very soon here in Mobei, so the plane doesn't need to be delayed.

"Ajun, you should rest more." Professor Qin said to him in the car, as if he was not tired, "It will be very busy back in Dongzhou."

"Yes." Gu Jun looked out the car window at the long road ahead. The yellow sand was being ravaged by heavy rain, and darkness was invading from all directions.

He knew that Dongzhou was already a dangerous place.

Nightmare disease...

When Gu Jun told Team Leader Xiao, he seemed very brave and fearless, but he wasn't.

He is afraid of death, of course he is.

But he was also afraid that news of the death of his friends would come in the future, and suddenly one day he would no longer be able to drink Cai.

The soup made by Zixuan will not hear Wang Ruoxiang's poisonous tongue, Professor Gu's cold jokes, Xue Ba's trivial knowledge, Uncle Egg's dirty jokes...

He is not Langton, and he is not fanatical about the mysteries of life, the truth of the universe, etc. His awareness may be considered low, but he cares more about these teachers and friends.

They were fighting hard at the front, and there was no way he could shrink back.

Gu Jun condensed his eyes, and lightning burst out from the dark clouds, bringing a short-lived light that illuminated the world.

In that isolated city, the patients were still struggling in the quagmire of pain, seeking help from doctors and hoping for hope.

No matter what kind of epidemic it is, whether the headquarters needs reinforcements or evacuation.

He is willing to hit that dark cloud with everyone and turn it into a ray of light.

Love the Plague Doctor.
