Looking down from the towers in the hospital, the scenery within a radius of several nautical miles gives people a sense of openness, but at this moment, in Dr. Nguyen Li's heart, there is no leisure to feel this beauty. She stood by the windowsill, all she could think about was experimentation. These days, she has had dreams of similar content several times. She couldn't remember the specific content of the dream after she woke up, but she generally had a feeling that "the content of the dream was coherent, like a TV series", and there seemed to be another person she cared about in the dream - the boy who had died.

Takakawa ......

Is it because of too much pressure and too much energy invested during this time, which leads to thinking during the day and dreaming at night? Dr. Nguyen Li thinks so, but in reality, she doesn't believe in the saying that there are thoughts and dreams day and night. However, to say that it is completely opposed is not in line with her style, but the theory of "thinking about things day and dreaming at night" explained in a popular way is actually very wrong in her research theory.

Dr. Nguyen Le is a psychologist employed on this isolated island to study the psychological effects of a strange condition called Doomsday Syndrome. Of course, in words, it seems that life in the hospital on the island is very ordinary, but the difficulties and dangers that must be faced in reality are far from being borne by ordinary people. It is not because the harsh external natural environment brings people suffering, but because what they are studying has been accompanied by the research process, and those things that are gradually unfolding make people feel an invisible, but gradually tightening pressure like a noose.

Initially, Dr. Nguyen Le came to the island with a strong sense of initiative, but now, Dr. Nguyen Le no longer feels that it is such a thing as "enterprising" that drives his steps. Leaving aside the deceit on the island for the time being, the research projects on the island have naturally attracted the attention of prying eyes. The members in charge of the project are outstanding in their abilities, but their hearts are not in order, however, compared to the strange and terrifying thing called the "virus", these complex human minds gradually guide the situation. But it seems less difficult to accept.

However, it is precisely because people's psychology and actions have begun to give people a sense of "insignificance", and the threat brought by the "virus" has become more terrifying.

Nowadays, almost everyone in the hospital, no matter who he or she serves, no matter who he or she serves, no matter what kind of calculations he has, no matter how dull or stupid, it is impossible to ignore the panic that pervades the hospital.

During this time. There are many things that have happened that have changed the concept of almost everyone's mind, although because the situation is too complicated, and not many people can sort out a clear outline in their minds, but there are too many omens to make people have an ominous premonition. It's like when an earthquake happens, rats and cockroaches swarm out. What is about to happen makes people sensitive. As sharp as a mouse or a cockroach.

Because, that's a bad thing that happens to the "people" themselves.

Dr. Nguyen Le can't describe it in words. The whole picture of the whole situation, but the death of his mentor, Dr. Hawke, and some incomprehensible "legacy" left before and after his death, are enough for Dr. Nguyen Li to grasp the breath of bad luck more than others.

Dr. Nguyen Lê's mentor was Dr. Hawke. However, there are differences in the details that the two focus on in the field of expertise, and as a result, the two have not been working together for a long time. Until he entered the island, Dr. Nguyen Le also retained his status as a student of Dr. Hawke. Holding a different position than Dr. Hawke, he is just a pure psychotherapist for the patient, and then, more specifically, the attending psychologist of the special test subject "Takakawa".

However, before Dr. Hawke's death, Dr. Nguyen Li did not interfere in the research of physiotherapy drugs, but only used the finished drugs, provided feedback after observation, and carried out daily psychological judgment and diagnosis and treatment of "Gao Chuan", etc., without much research work.

Of course, Dr. Ruan Li will also summarize his work experience in private and carry out some research involving his own empirical theory of clinical trials, but because there is not much support, it is only a very small scale trial.

All of this, in the short period before and after the news of Dr. Hawke's death, changed decisively.

First of all, driven by many complex factors, I had to join the team of lurkers within the hospital, which made my research treatment improve by leaps and bounds.

Later, the hospital's official team, the front-line research team led by Dr. Ender, decided to transfer the responsibilities of Dr. Hawke during his lifetime, so that he could be regarded as a heavy burden among the researchers of the entire hospital.

Both the formal identity and the hidden identity are so heavy, if only that, Dr. Nguyen Le still believes that with his perseverance, he can get through the difficulties.

However, the most critical point almost destroyed her confidence.

Dr. Nguyen Le found out that he was suffering from doomsday syndrome.

Yes, just like her mentor, like the patients she had seen, she had contracted the "virus" and suffered from the same terminal illness.

The more we study the "virus", the more we get along with these patients with the doomsday syndrome, and observe their pathologies, the more we will never forget this despair and horror.

In fact, based on our own survey of existing patients, we have concluded that "theoretically, there is no one in the whole world who is completely free from the interference of the 'virus'." However, in the past, the vast majority of people who have not been infected with the "virus" and have not triggered doomsday syndrome are also reassuring.

However, if it is your turn, you will not be in such a reluctant mood.

After Dr. Nguyen Li confirmed that she was infected with the "virus" and became a member of the doomsday syndrome, the complexity of her emotions is difficult to describe, but now she has adjusted her mindset a little. This is also thanks to her mentor, Dr. Hawke, who kept a few of the latest experimental potions in his legacy before his death. As the successor to Dr. Hawke, Dr. Nguyen Le is entitled to preserve and use this legacy.

After Dr. Nguyen Li injected himself with the medicine, the irritation caused by the changes in his body has been greatly weakened. However, she still can't help but suspect that this may be just an illusion caused by "paralysis", not that the effect of the medicine is really useful.

Those dreams she has had these days have made her have to make associations.

Even so, Dr. Nguyen Le did not give up on his duties. The idea of leaving this isolated hospital is not entirely based on the selfless idea of "curing the virus for the benefit of mankind", but is a more complex conclusion that is full of personal desires and has been repeatedly considered.

Do one thing not for one purpose, but for multiple purposes at once, including good intentions and bad intentions. Under this premise, to choose your own path - this is the true portrayal of Dr. Nguyen Li, and she has always carried it out.

The uneasiness I feel now is probably because I am starting to waver, right? Dr. Nguyen Le thought so. The reason was that yesterday evening, she had become a senior member of the research team, and she had obtained information that most people in the hospital could not know. It is a report and some exploratory conclusions about the number of deaths in hospitals and the number of deaths outside hospitals worldwide due to conditions similar to doomsday syndrome, as well as a report and some exploratory conclusions based on the increase in the number of people.

The content is complex, but it boils down to one sentence. That is, "doomsday syndrome is spreading all over the world, and the activation of the "virus" is leading to the end of the world. At least it's the end of humanity," which seems absurd from an emotional point of view.

Even if Dr. Ruan Li considered himself rational and tasted the horror of the "virus", he never thought that the "end of the world" would come. And, in this way, at such a sudden point in time. When I was still researching the "virus". Almost everything was done, and then, before a conclusion was reached, the world was going to end?

Dr. Nguyen Li examines the intelligence-related data report and inference process, trying to find a refutation - in fact. As long as she doesn't admit it, if she refutes it from the opposing side, there are indeed many loopholes in this report - but a few hours after doing so, she suddenly had this thought: what is the point of refuting the conclusions of the report with words and theories, and attacking those loopholes?

These people are probably the people in the world who know the most about the "virus". However, we have not yet been able to find a cure for the apocalyptic syndrome. We are here, saying "the end of the world will not come", and they are over there, saying "the end of the world has come", these words are weak and do not have enough evidence.

When the facts come true, it is naturally clear who is right and who is wrong. However, at that time, if it is really the end of the world, can you come up with a way to deal with it?

No, at least for now, it simply can't be done.

This dilemma is the most urgent problem for myself and others as researchers, and it is also the fundamental problem.

But can your body last until that time? Dr. Ruan Li's heart is mixed.

Even so, her rationality and actions, undisturbed by such complex emotions, meticulously completed every detail of the research plan.

She carefully studied the manuscripts of the results and inferences left behind by Dr. Hawke, and reconstituted little by little the experimental projects that Dr. Hawke wanted to do, but could not complete. The new trial is based on the old test theory, which is the core of Dr. Nguyen's current work. Eventually, the research project's code name remained the same as Dr. Hawke's original name, "The Night".

In this experiment, an attempt was made to use the drug to stimulate the gene level of a patient with a special doomsday syndrome, called "Takagawa replicat", but not a clonal product, but only a test sample of a by-product of the "virus" common erosion test. In the past, there have been experiments in which drugs were used to stimulate patients and interfere with their psychology physiologically, but this time, the test subjects and test drugs were special. It is precisely because the universal sample cannot obtain the key things that we try to find something that makes it "special" from the special sample.

Neither Dr. Hawke nor Dr. Nguyen Li, who inherited Dr. Hawke, was unsure of what it was, but they were equally sure that it must have a deeper connection with the "virus". By capturing and studying it, we will be able to get closer to the truth of the "virus". And, even if it fails, this never-before-seen deep-seated stimulation of a particular target will certainly lead to new thinking.

This is theoretically an experiment that will pay off if you do it. In the past, I didn't do it because the conditions were not met, but now that the conditions are met, Dr. Hawke has passed away.

As his successor, Dr. Nguyen Lê, both for himself and for the sake of others, must go all out to push forward with this project.

Then, now, everything is ready, only waiting remains.

Once the patient has been injected with the drug, it is necessary to observe the patient's reaction. All kinds of physiological changes in their bodies will be recorded as data, including changes in thinking waveforms caused by emotional feelings, which will also be expressed in intuitive data. Study the data, find a breakthrough in it, and then conduct targeted experiments, and so on, until you completely grasp the secrets of your desires.

Dr. Nguyen Le knew what she was doing, and she knew that it was cruel and painful for the Gao Chuan clones, but she also knew that she had no choice - everyone now had to face the possibility of either defeating the "virus" or everyone dying.

Now, it is no longer time to start from humanitarianism and enjoy the fun of research, but to race against time and fight for your life.

So far, no one has observed the true body of the "virus", and no one has been able to describe the complete "virus" through theory, but the impact of the "virus" on the world has been more strongly reflected than in the past. No one can guarantee that the "virus" will disappear on its own, return to an inactive state, and have enough time to be studied by human beings.

On the contrary, the activity of the "virus" has made everyone in the hospital feel that they are fighting against an unknown thing, and the "unknown" itself is the most terrifying place, and it is also the reason why people feel that it is difficult to achieve the final victory. For scientists, conquering the "unknown" into the "known" is the best answer, but what if the time and opportunity do not exist, and the "unknown" is destroyed? This is probably the greatest horror that scientists have to face. (To be continued......)
