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

Mai Lei is also a 25-year-old young man, sitting on the bed facing the glass window, his whole body muscles trembling slightly uncontrollably.

His facial muscles had shrunk badly, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, his eyes were bloodshot, and his strange eyes seemed to be on the verge of delirium.

"Nightmares develop very quickly." Professor Qin added, "Mai Lei was infected after reading a post on the Internet, and the time was only six days earlier than Chen Wenwei, and he had already entered the middle stage, and the symptoms were very similar to multiple system atrophy. ”

In fact, some patients with nightmares have been diagnosed with multiple system atrophy (MSA) by general hospitals before, because the clinical manifestations of MSA are also sleep disorders, dysphonia, autonomic dysfunction, etc. The cause of MSA has not yet been clarified by the medical community.

"In the middle stage, the patient is still conscious, but the mental condition is very poor, manifested by mania, anger, hostility, and aggressive tendencies, which are the same as the symptoms of long-term insomnia, and taking antimanic drugs such as oxcarbazepine has a certain inhibitory effect."

Gu Jun nodded slightly in understanding, it doesn't seem that nightmares will directly make people crazy, but multiple systems are atrophied and unable to sleep, and normal people will be driven crazy.

People who haven't slept well for a long time tend to be aggressive, and this is especially true if it's against someone who is affecting their sleep.

This is also why there are easy conflicts in the dormitory, and even injuries and homicides, because the quality of sleep will affect the spirit and physiology.

When the group walked into the ward, Mai Lei was suddenly much more excited than Chen Wenwei just now, and got up tremblingly, "Help!" I want to sleep, I want to sleep......"

"Mr. Mak!" The two operational guards next to him immediately shouted, one went to hold down Mai Lei, and the other was about to get on the stun gun.

His voice was muffled, but he could still hear what he said.

"Don't, don't ......" Mai Lei hurriedly shouted, his face full of pain and fear, "Don't! ”

Suddenly, with an excited shout, Mai Lei vomited something into the palm of his hand as if coughing, it was a whole bloody tooth...... Mai Lei looked at the teeth, the horror on his face was even worse, and he let out an almost crying cry: "Ah......"

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

Gu Jun's heart was very heavy, but at this time, he could only do his job and go forward to see Mai Lei's oral condition.

Not only is the tongue atrophied, but the gums are also atrophied, several molars are missing from both the upper and lower jaws, and every other tooth is also loose, and it seems that the whole tooth can be pulled out with a little force. There was a deep blood hole in the left canine of the jaw that had just been dropped, but not much blood was coming out, and the gums were necrotic......

After coming out of the ward, Professor Qin continued: "In the medium term, the patient's oral tissues will atrophy, teeth will fall out one by one, swallow hard, and can only eat liquid food. And the immunity is also declining, and in the advanced stage, the immunity may be completely lost. ”

At present, there are not many advanced patients admitted by the Tianji Bureau, almost all of them have just developed to the advanced stage, and those more serious patients have committed suicide before.

In another ward, Gu Jun saw a terminally ill patient.

The middle-aged man, surnamed was bound to a hospital bed, unconscious, unable to speak, and did not move because of sedation.

The patient's whole body shrunk, the limbs revealed from the hospital gown were like skeletons, the face was like a layer of sallow dead skin draped over a skull, and the eyes were only dementia and cloudy, and there was no trace of human nature.

"When patients with advanced stages can walk, they will walk to high places and jump down." Professor Qin sighed, "The reason is not clear. If the search for death is unsuccessful and no sedation is given, the patient will be in a state of dreamy delirium, lacking in response to external stimuli, just whimpering and struggling. ”

Jumping from a height? Gu Jun thought of flying......

Freud said that he dreamed of flying because he was stressed and wanted to be free.

Do those patients jump because they want to be free from their pain?

He had a hazy feeling in his mind, as if he had seen many people jumping from tall buildings, was that the trigger of an illusion, or was it his own imagination?

Gu Jun tried to gather his spirit to grasp the feeling, but it was only like holding a trace of smoke......

No, no...... He muttered in his heart, there was no direct connection to things, maybe the venue and the situation were not right, and that perception was not strong enough to grasp.

After returning to the corridor outside, Gu Jun could only tell Professor Qin and Commander Yao so seriously and helplessly, "I don't have any clear extrasensory sense. ”

He didn't dare to make judgments, but the nightmare disease may have little to do with the otherworld, or it has nothing to do with the Son of Iron or the Child of Doom, or he had not been exposed to it in his childhood, so he didn't have the strong feeling of feeling when he first saw the body of a person with Anaphylla......

At the time, he had no mental training, but he triggered the illusion of a corpse pool.

Wait a minute...... Body? As soon as he thought about it, the smoke became a little clearer......

"Extrasensory?" Tang Zhifeng next to him was stunned, isn't this a thing in the category of parapsychology?

Yao Shinian and Professor Qin were slightly disappointed when they heard this, and Gu Jun's hope of a new turn for the better was dashed.

"Ah Jun, you just came back, and yesterday you were injured because of the assessment, so you don't need to hurry." Professor Qin forced a sigh of relief, "You go back to the dormitory and sleep well, tomorrow morning these three patients will receive experimental treatment of lobotomy, and you will go and see how it is then." ”

Lobotomy? Gu Jun couldn't help frowning, it was a crazy operation that had been abolished by the medical community, but now it seemed that this situation could only be tried......

"Extrasensory ...... Parapsychology is the kind? Tang Zhifeng asked, not knowing where Professor Qin had brought Gu Jun back from.

"That's it." Yao Shinian nodded and said, after personally experiencing it, there was no longer any doubt, "Zhifeng, you will know the details soon." ”

Tang Zhifeng is not suspicious of the two old men, but he is a little uncomfortable in his concept, does the study of nightmares really go in the direction of parapsychology......

"Professor Qin, I have an idea." Gu Jun said out that extrasensory perception is indeed related to mental state, but it is also related to many other factors.

He looked calm and resolute, "I want to go and see the body of the nightmare patient now, it is best for Cai Zixuan and them to go with me, and the body is best soaked in formalin." ”

The sight of death would make his perception intense, which had been proven many times.

As for asking Cai Zixuan and them to go together, it was to replicate that scene, maybe there was something in it that he didn't know.
