Chapter 116
The scenes in the two isolation cabins made even the knowledgeable Leander frown when he saw the 'patients' in front of him.
The hint of impatience on his handsome and gentle face disappeared, replaced by seriousness.
The conditions of these two 'patients' seemed to be more serious than what the medical assistant had just described.
After hearing the description from the medical assistant, Leander thought that these two patients just had hyperplasia of their fingers.
This is usually caused by using the treatment cabin directly after being exposed to strong radiation without professional radiation removal.
Although it might be a new type of radiation, Leander didn't think it was anything troublesome.
——Until he actually saw the two patients.
The branch-like fingers are completely inconsistent with the growth patterns of humans. They will branch out during the growth process, making these fingers look like tree crowns, and upside down like the roots of plants.
There were even nails growing out at the end of each finger.
The instrument next to it shows that every finger can move. According to the growth of human knuckles, there is a finger joint at a certain distance.
This would be enough to scare an ordinary person, but in the case of these two patients, the creepiness goes beyond that.
It was like a torso with skin covering a skeleton - not the kind that was extremely starved and covered above the ribs.
Instead, it looked as if all the muscles, fat and internal organs had been hollowed out of the body, and a layer of skin was covered on every bone.
In short, the skin on each rib of these two patients was not connected to the other ribs.
It looks like a dead tree lying in the yellow sand.
——Their faces were equally skinny, but for some reason Leander could tell from both of them that they were content?
"Director, this is not an illusion. In fact, their brain waves show that their current level of happiness has exceeded that of most normal people. However, we have only seen this kind of happiness in patients with intellectual disabilities."
The medical assistant at the side saw that the director was a little confused and spoke in a low voice.
Leander now realized how difficult this task was. He frowned and rubbed his brows, took the information from the medical assistant and said.
"What about their mental strength?"
The medical assistant handed over the information in his hand and said, "They both originally had A-level mental power, but now the strange thing is that no matter what kind of detection equipment is used, it can't detect any mental power in them. But the strange thing is that their brains are not dead, and their spirits are still quite active."
This is also the strangest point. For the people of Blue Star, losing mental power is equivalent to brain death, but these two are indeed alive and well.
Although if they wake up, they probably won't want to live like this.
The medical assistant sighed as he thought about it.
Leander's face looked even uglier now. He took a deep breath, looked at the medical assistant with his black eyes and said, "Go and inform the doctors who have taken over these patients before, and gather in the conference room in an hour to discuss the treatment plan."
After sending the medical assistant away, Leander's handsome face became serious, causing the other medical assistants who were supervising on the side to subconsciously hold their breath.
Fortunately, Leander did not make things difficult for them. He simply clicked on the monitoring interface of the isolation cabin, retrieved all the previous monitoring data, summarized them into a table, and looked at them carefully.
In fact, Leander was on vacation.
As the chief medical officer of the entire federation, he had recently finished his work on the presidential election and ended the medical monitoring of the two presidential candidates, who were almost 800 years old in total.
Physically and mentally exhausted, he urgently needed a relaxing vacation to unwind.
——And by the way, prepare to chase Jiang Qi.
Even if his bad friend William felt that Eliander had strange bad luck, he might not get what he wanted.
But Leander was adamant that this vacation would be different.
After all, he had already finalized the battlefield medical course with the principal of the First Military Academy a few days ago, and was just waiting to amaze Jiang Qi in class and give Jiang Qi special training.
But it was probably William who cursed him, and his bad luck did not let him go.
The first is the matter of Ethan being mentally abused. The other suitors were okay at the time, but as the chief medical officer, Leander was the most questioned by the public.
"As the chief medical officer, you didn't realize that your beloved's mental state was not right?"
'Either his medical skills are bad, or he doesn't care about Ethan at all and is just a disgusting breeder!'
Arguments like the two above are everywhere in his comment section, and cyber violence warnings are flashing like fireworks in his comment section.
It wasn't until Ethan's students showed up that his comment section was under control.
In fact, Leander was a little annoyed at first. After all, when he was pursuing Jiang Qi, the past when he pursued Ethan was brought up, and there was always an inexplicable subtlety in it.
But Leander soon put the matter behind him, after all, it was soon time for the field medical course.
——However, this morning when he was preparing for class, the military suddenly called the principal and urgently cancelled his course, causing the students to wail.
He was then taken to a military hospital by four A-level mental soldiers from the military.
If the military's explanation had not come quickly, Leander would have let the military know that it would be best not to offend the doctor.
But the most important thing now is the two patients in front of us.
Leander collected and summarized all the data, and then let AI pick out all the abnormal data.
Just as the AI was summarizing the results, Leander saw a piece of data and turned his eyes to the two patients again.
The two patients were still like ordinary potted plants, floating up and down in the isolation cabin, with no expression on their faces except that their eyes were rolled up.
"Is it that the spiritual power has not disappeared, but has been dispersed to the point where it cannot be detected by the instruments?"
Some soldiers on the battlefield who had exhausted their mental strength had also experienced undetectable mental strength. At that time, Leander almost thought he had seen the birth of a new topic, but later discovered that this was only a temporary distraction of mental strength.
A few hours later, the mental strength of these soldiers who had rested well was tested again by instruments.
However, this basically only occurs on the battlefield, and the conditions are quite harsh.
While thinking about the treatment plan, Leander extended his mental power and tried to explore the mental conditions of the two patients.
He has double S-level mental power, which is why he dares to pursue Ethan and Jiang Qi.
For his mental power, the A-level mental power of these two patients could not cause any harm to him, so Leander was even a little careless.
However, the next second when Leander's mental power connected with that man's, he seemed to smell a damp and salty smell.
Leander blinked and looked towards the isolation cabin. However, the cabin was fine, but the salty and fishy smell lingering at his nose was still there, even mixed with some cold taste.
Leander frowned now and observed the situation in the ward carefully.
The walls with green wallpaper were cleaned thoroughly, and on the ceiling, AI wallpaper with randomly painted various eye-protecting colors was also working diligently.
The light green curtains were being drawn open, but the image outside was not a real one, but a holographically projected window.
Hmm...he doesn't like this pale yellow color.
Leander didn't notice anything unusual, so he lowered his eyes again and looked at the medical assistant.
Everything seemed normal to the medical assistants, including the people in white coats. After seeing him, their expressions were tense but also flattering.
But the salty smell lingering in Leander's nose still made him a little confused.
Fortunately, he quickly found the reason.
A medical worker had a blue bottle in his pocket, with several lines specially burned on it to represent ripples of waves.
Leander frowned when he saw the logo above.
It was a cheap perfume - although it was quite expensive for him, Lillard didn't like this kind of perfume.
They are notoriously known for using cheap materials, and only the brand name looks good, but this is only true for those of them who are in the top circles of the Federation.
Among the middle class, this brand is still quite representative of status.
"No wonder." Leander found out the reason and relaxed, then went to explore Chris's spiritual realm.
However, smelling the salty smell, Leander had to close his eyes in order to concentrate and connect with Chris's spiritual realm.
but……
Although Chris's spiritual realm consisted of only scattered fragments, Leander always felt that the places his spiritual power touched were filled with a cold and sticky feeling.
"Strange, the data shows that the planet has basically no water resources..."
It is common sense that if the spiritual realm suffers trauma, the aura remaining in the spiritual realm will help the therapist determine what kind of force caused the trauma.
For example, if the Zerg are responsible on the battlefield, that force will carry with it a cold murderous intent that is unique to the Zerg.
If one's mental strength is traumatized at the seaside, then there will be a cold and damp smell.
According to the conditions on that planet, if the mental power was damaged, it should be dry and hot, not so cold and sticky.
However, Leander didn't know where the sticky feeling came from, but he still made a note of it and checked it again.
He rubbed his ears as he checked, and there was a buzzing in his ears.
'It might be an instrument,' Leander thought.
However, Chris's mental realm was like a wrung towel, unlike the mental realms of other traumas sold, which either had a big hole in them or were rotting away on their own.
His spiritual realm is like a piece of paper wrapped in a towel. If the towel does not move, the paper will not change at all.
But once the towel is twisted, the paper will be scattered all over the spiritual realm, but the towel is still the same towel without any breakage.
When Leander was investigating, Chris's spiritual realm was still twisted, which was probably why Chris hadn't recovered yet. As for why the previous instruments didn't detect it, it was probably because of the double S-level spiritual power.
Leander carefully explored the entire spiritual realm and after confirming that there were no holes, Leander rubbed his ears, which were buzzing louder and louder, and became interested.
It was the first time he had seen such a spiritual realm.
Medically speaking, Chris's spiritual realm is still intact, but it has been twisted into its current state by an invisible hand.
And it can't be twisted back. Generally speaking, the spiritual realm will recover elastically, but now this spiritual realm is like...
It seemed as if the invisible giant hands were still there, and were still distorting his spiritual realm.
Leander was now curious, and he headed towards the edge of the spiritual realm closest to him. Before, he had only made a cursory inspection to confirm that the spiritual fragments were not there, and then he didn't pay much attention to it.
Leander's mental power gradually touched the edge of the spiritual realm.
Chris's spiritual realm did not resist at all, which made Leander a little bolder and he explored towards the distorted spiritual realm.
That distorted spiritual realm looked like darkness to Leander.
Until Leander really came into contact with that spiritual realm.
The feeling of mental power gave Leander goosebumps subconsciously.
——What kind of feeling is that?
It's like walking to the beach, stepping on the sand, feeling something under your feet, and then as soon as you move your feet away...
Dense octopuses and sea lilies emerged little by little right where he had just stepped.
The edge of Chris's spiritual realm is filled with various kinds of 'sea lilies and octopuses'.
They even waved their tentacles to try to keep Leander.
Leander's mental strength suddenly rebounded and he retreated, but the buzzing sound in his ears suddenly became louder.
——Leander then heard clearly that it was not a buzzing sound at all!
Instead, there was a strange, indescribable, low and chaotic muttering. They seemed to be saying something. Leander seemed to be possessed by this voice and slowed down the speed of the withdrawal of his mental power.
He wanted to know, to explore, to learn...
"Ah--!" Leander was awakened by a headache. It was the first time that his mental power was overloaded.
He immediately realized that he was in a very dangerous situation. He cut off that small amount of mental power like a strong man and quickly withdrew from Chris's territory.
After escaping, he gasped for breath and looked at Chris in front of him in shock.
The medical assistants on the side were frightened by Leander's appearance, and they all came forward to ask if the chief was okay.
Leander waved his hands and was about to say that it was nothing, but something he saw accidentally made him stop abruptly.
"The perfume you are wearing..."
Leander stared at one of the medical staff's perfume bottles, but what was inside was not a transparent liquid representing perfume, but a milky white watery substance.
"Ah, this, Director, this is not perfume, it's a deodorant, colorless and odorless, from the hospital. I don't like the bottle because it's too big. Don't worry, Professor, all of us medical staff cannot have any smell on us. If we have any smell, we can't even enter the room. ..."
The medical assistant touched his head sheepishly and said, but Leander ignored him.
If the medical assistant wasn't wearing perfume, then the salty smell he just smelled...
Leander suddenly turned his head and looked at the two patients still lying in the isolation chamber.
The two soilless cultured 'plants' in the isolation cabin had just straightened their mouth corners.
——Now laughing.
*
[Host, you are really good at scaring people.] 777 looked at the surveillance camera in front of him and repeated the situation to the host, puffing at the data stream and saying.
[Cthulhu's Foot Skin] This kind of prop has been used by some hosts to create a weird feeling, and most of them succeeded.
But most of them are due to the fear effect caused by the strange and indescribable force that distorts the human body, rather than scaring people to death when a treatment plan can be found.
Being able to scare people like this in the hospital, the host has really grasped the thing that humans fear the most in this world.
——The fear of being dragged away even in bed.
[This is a classic shock, isn't it? The monster that was originally judged to be not very threatening actually hides a more terrifying secret inside. But I didn't expect them to be so scared, even though the body should have given them a shot of prevention? ]
Gu Youxing said as he sorted out ancient books.
The young man who was looking at the documents in front of him and carefully sorting out ancient books was as beautiful as a painting in the sunlight.
Even though the young man didn't smile and looked a little unapproachable, the way he handled the ancient books made people feel fond of him.
Several students nearby were so sad that their eyes were filled with tears and they were almost about to bite their handkerchiefs.
But they were really sad because their mentor hadn't smiled since the incident a few days ago.
The original tutor looked so good when he smiled. Although he looks good like this still, there are some slanderous words online saying that the tutor looks very bland, but they feel sorry for him when they see him.
The air from his body was so cold that except for a few students who dared to approach him, no one else dared to breathe loudly.
Only they know that although the professor looks aloof, he is actually still a soft-hearted national idol.
However, now this so-called national idol is discussing with the voice in his head, something that these students would call the police after hearing a few sentences.
[…Host, I’m afraid you don’t know much about the medical capabilities of the interstellar world. Even if you have broken limbs, the medical capabilities of the interstellar world can still regenerate broken limbs.]
[Things like limb hyperplasia caused by radiation exposure are not uncommon in interstellar events. Simply cutting off the hand and letting it grow back in the treatment chamber is also a feasible treatment option.]
777 said helplessly, and Gu Youxing suddenly realized: [No wonder they didn't react much to these bodies. I originally thought that I had to cheat and let the only C-level mental power temporarily block the mental influence. I didn't expect that he could escape with the two potted plants despite the fear.]
Speaking of potted plants, 777 took a sip of the data stream and said: [Host, have you really read the letter you brought back from your original world? Are you sure the letter from that world can still soothe your mental state? ]
[Of course I can. You see, today's incident is the result of the convergence. Originally, I planned to wait for the border guards to arrive, but now they are just two mercenaries who do the dirty work.]
Gu Youxing felt that he had really been moved by the letter and had become quite soft-hearted. Otherwise, if this kind of thing had happened in the past, he would never have let the show begin without wiping out an entire base.
[…Host, please keep going.] 777 was speechless and immediately changed the subject.
[By the way, host, how do you plan to reach the pinnacle of your life from this incident? Do you plan to announce that you have awakened your mental power after being stimulated and become a healer, and then reveal your identity as Cthulhu? ]
777 guessed based on the host's previous behavior logic, but...
[Which of these two identities is compatible with the current personality? Not like that.] Gu Youxing said calmly.
[Host, how did you complete the mission?] 777 was a little confused.
[They will ask me to complete the task next. Please wait for a while.] Gu Youxing said, sorted out the ancient books in his hand and put them back into the maintenance cabinet, and then continued with the previous topic.
Now there is only a little finishing work left before this paper can be published.
Just when a few students finished their finishing work and were about to ask their tutor whether they wanted to go celebrate.
“Bang, bang, bang—!”
"Sorry, Professor Ethan, there is an emergency and the military needs to recruit you now!"
Ethan pursed his lips, quickly finished his homework, gave instructions to the students, then turned around and left with the soldiers.
Then he said to 777 in his mind.
【Look, here it comes. 】
*
After the meeting, Leander was rubbing his swollen temples and looking out the window when he saw several people getting off the spaceship.
And he recognized the blond-haired one among them at a glance.
'Is it Ethan? What is he doing here?'
Leander is not self-indulgent and thinks that Ethan comes for him, but his feelings for Ethan are still quite complicated.
After Leander knew the whole story and saw Ethan's mental evaluation on the Internet, he actually felt a little uncomfortable.
'Should he have cared more about Ethan? ' That's what Leander thought at the time.
But he soon forgot about it.
Originally, he had little feelings for Ethan. Ethan was vain and had low self-esteem, and by the time he became an adult at the age of twenty, Ethan's character had already been formed.
He is not arrogant enough to become a savior and transform Ethan. Moreover, they are all adults, and AI has taught Ethan all the common sense he needs. Why should he intervene in Ethan's family?
Leander thought that his actions at that time were normal judgment of an adult, and of course he still thinks so now.
He was just pursuing Ethan based on his own needs. As for Ethan's own personality problems...
That's something Ethan needs to take on himself as an adult.
At that time, Leander thought indifferently, but he still pursued Ethan with a gentle expression.
But now that I see that Ethan has really taken on the responsibilities he needs to shoulder, the smile on his face has disappeared, leaving only a look of indifference.
Leander still felt a little uncomfortable.
But Leander still shook his head violently. He wanted to pursue Jiang Qi now, and he must not have any connection with Ethan.
With this thought in mind, Leander was about to return to his room to work, but was called to a special confidential meeting room by the head of the military.
——Then he met Ethan as soon as he entered the door.
Leander looked at the blond young man who was studying the materials carefully: ...is his luck playing tricks on him again?
But Leander found that this was not the worst.
——The most unfortunate thing is this small room.
There are three former suitors of Ethan.
