Chapter 419 Something's fishy. Zhang Ruobing frowned: "What happened?"
"It's Bai Wei! She...she's having another attack! She's yelling and screaming in the infirmary, saying there's a shadow outside the window, that Wang Xiaoya is peering at her through the glass! The medics can barely control her!"
This news stunned everyone present.
Zhang Ruobing's face instantly turned extremely ugly. She turned her head and looked at Su Tang with a very complicated expression. There was doubt in her eyes, but more than that, there was a kind of frustrated helplessness.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she said to Su Tang, "Su An, come with me! Chen Xiaocao, return to training!"
After saying that, she strode towards the infirmary.
Su Tang calmly followed behind her.
The infirmary was a complete mess.
Bai Wei, disheveled and curled up in the corner of the hospital bed, was covered with a blanket, with only her bloodshot, terrified eyes showing as she stared intently at the closed window.
Two young medics stood to one side, looking helpless, their faces full of exhaustion and frustration.
"I already told you! There's someone outside the window! Why don't you believe me! It's Wang Xiaoya! It's her!" Bai Wei became agitated again when she saw Zhang Ruobing and Su Tang behind her enter, her voice sharp and shrill.
Zhang Ruobing walked to the window and pulled back the curtains.
The sun shines brightly outside the window, the leaves of several poplar trees rustle in the breeze, and in the distance, the shouts of battle echo from the training ground, full of vitality.
There was nothing there.
"Bai Wei, look carefully, there's nothing outside!" Zhang Ruobing's voice was as cold as ice.
"No! She was just there! She was smiling at me! Her face was pressed against the glass! Pale as a ghost!" Bai Wei shook her head frantically, her whole being in a state of paranoid madness. As she spoke, she glanced at Su Tang with fearful eyes.
Zhang Ruobing turned around and looked at Su Tang with piercing eyes: "Su An, don't you know about the traditional Chinese medicine theory of 'emotional illness'? Come and see what's wrong with her?"
This question is full of probing.
Su Tang sneered inwardly, but put on a troubled expression: "Reporting to the instructor, the methods passed down in my family are just superficial ways to regulate the body. Comrade Bai Wei's current condition... seems very serious. I... I dare not speak recklessly."
Her "humble" and "timid" demeanor actually lessened Zhang Ruobing's suspicions somewhat.
Indeed, if Su An really is the mastermind, then her mental fortitude is terrifying. She can remain so "normal" even when facing my intense gaze.
Perhaps I'm just overthinking things?
A military doctor in a white coat, around forty years old, stepped forward and reported to Zhang Ruobing: "Instructor Zhang, we have conducted a preliminary examination on Comrade Bai Wei. Her vital signs are stable, but she is experiencing typical symptoms of visual and auditory hallucinations due to excessive mental stress and neurasthenia. This is not uncommon in extreme training, but her reaction is particularly severe."
The military doctor paused, glanced at Bai Wei who was still trembling in the corner, and suggested in a low voice, "We recommend that she be transferred to a single isolation observation room for 24-hour monitoring. On the one hand, this will allow her to calm down in an absolutely quiet environment, and on the other hand, it will prevent her from having any further accidents or affecting the rest of the other wounded."
Isolation and observation?
Su Tang raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly.
Zhang Ruobing pondered for a moment; this was perhaps the best solution at present. Isolating Bai Wei from the others would both protect Bai Wei and prevent panic from spreading throughout the camp.
Moreover, by keeping her under close surveillance in the infirmary, anyone who wanted to "play tricks" would have no way to do so.
This is indeed a good way to "lure the snake out of its hole." If Bai Wei's madness is truly man-made, then isolating her will make it difficult for that "ghost" to make a move. Then, by observing her secretly, I might be able to discover something.
