Dr. Ender stared incredulously at the image on the virtual screen, the camera swam in the depths of the water, and gradually appeared the corpses of a large number of creatures, all of which had the characteristics of familiar sea creatures, but the overall silhouette was distorted to look like alien objects, which was no longer ordinary. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe appearance of these corpses is so hideous and ugly, it makes people's backs chill, and their numbers are so large that they don't see any normal living creatures, it really makes people think that all the life in this sea has withered.

A chilling thought crossed Dr. Ender's mind: the sea is dead, so is there a scene like this in front of you in the wider ocean?

The number of strangely shaped corpses has proliferated to the point of producing dense syndrome, and the apparent condition of the corpses has gradually made people aware of an orderly but malignant change, not only with similar representations, but also with repetition in details, making people think that they died of the same disease.

Although the range of the camera is small compared to the size of the ocean, it is enough for those who see these scenes to imagine some kind of frightening anomalous change that is taking place in the outside world. Dr. Ender heard himself muttering, "Enough is enough," but deep down there was a desire to keep watching. The hideous, ugly, frightening, disgusting corpse also seems to have a charm that tempts you to look at it. Neither the sensibility nor the rationality of Dr. Ender could comprehend this charm, but the fact that he was being attracted to it was honestly reflected in his own actions - he tried to look away, but his body betrayed him.

Dr. Ender was shocked and equally frightened by the phenomenon that was emerging in him that was not controlled by his own will. He couldn't help but think "that's enough", this night's actions made him experience too many involuntary horrors, too many unexpected situations happening in advance, and he fiddled with these completely unplanned emergencies, like a doll on the stage of evil.

Dr. Ender said to himself: Enough! Enough is enough!

"Enough!" Dr. Ender finally heard the voice roar out of his mouth, and his consciousness suddenly pulled back from the horrific but attractive shot, and before he knew it, the clothes on his back were already wet. A wave of dizziness and headache hit him, and he almost couldn't stand.

"It's not true, it's just a fake, it's just alarmism. Right? Dr. Ander said this aloud to Dorothy, but when he said this, he regretted it, for it was only a reaction of fear prompted by emotion, and his reason was already telling him how much of his guess was correct. These lurkers may have a reason to deceive him, but given the circumstances, it is more likely that they are presenting a fact and trying to use it to oppress their own side.

"Whether it's alarmist or not, you can judge for yourself. Come to think of it, do you really think this is alarmist? "The signs are widening and becoming more complex, with too many anomalies, following unnatural currents to the periphery of the islands," Dorothy said. The hospital is isolated from the outside world, but no one can isolate what happens in nature. What is going on in the hospital, I think you know best, Dr. Ender. Everyone is in danger here, and all of humanity is facing a great danger, and leaving the island is becoming the same as not leaving it. ”

"They're coming! They will suspect that we are here to cause all this, and they will ruin this place! Dr. Ender said heavily. He did not elaborate on who "they" were, because, he himself did not know who "they" were. It's just that whoever is supporting the hospital is "them". Perhaps, there will be disagreements among "them", but the worse the situation in the outside world, the more the hospital will not be able to stand alone. If the terrible scene that is happening in the footage is the spread of infection caused by the "virus", then the hospital will either come up with serums and drugs to prove the value of its existence, or it will be cleared as the source of the disaster. In the past, the hospital may have had room to recover before many staff were infected, but the hospital did not estimate the scale and extent of the infection, nor did it prepare for evacuation in advance, and the island was abandoned when the infection spread to the entire hospital at a surprising rate.

The reason why those people built the hospital on such an isolated island is precisely to facilitate concealment and treatment, and the infected people, even if they are experts, are no longer needed, because experts in this world are not scarce, and the number of researchers in the hospital is an insignificant part of the total number of researchers in the world, if not a drop in the ocean. They may come and take the information, but now the only valuable things in the hospital are those materials - Dr. Ander does not know if those people know about the existence and value of Takakawa, the color center, and the Dorothy in front of him, but if the situation in the outside world is already in an extremely dangerous state as the camera suggests, then, in the worst possibility, what he thinks is the result of dropping a nuclear bomb to clean up the entire island must have been taken into account by those people.

Dr. Ender does not believe that cleaning up the entire island will stop these crises, because the "virus" has already spread around the world, and people were able to live normally only because the disease did not flare up. Billions of human beings around the world may already be potential doomsday syndrome sufferers. However, those people will not do what Dr. Ander thinks about himself, and even if they publicize the existence of the island hospital and broadcast the entire process of dropping nuclear bombs to clean up, it can be guided by public opinion to become a "good thing to do".

For human society, sometimes the most important thing is whether the fundamental problem is solved, but whether it makes people feel that there is a solution to the problem.

The hospital is like a fish lying on a chopping board, and at the beginning of its existence, it has been lying on a cutting board - almost everyone who comes to work at the hospital knows this, and they are not here because they are not worried, Dr. Ender's original reason was that he saw it as a great opportunity to move himself further in the human social class. At that time, the hospital was both dangerous and full of opportunities and challenges, and he was able to solve one unsolved mystery after another and achieve fame here—although in objective fact, the possibility of failure was also very high, but he subjectively believed that he could do it.

However, now the facts have proven that he failed, and not only him, but all the researchers who came to this island failed.

From this point of view, the crisis that I and others are facing is the punishment that comes with this failure. However, before it all began, even Dr. Ender himself did not think that this would be a "global crisis".

To this day, he is still emotionally and intellectually reluctant to believe that the world beyond the island is in danger. He instinctively wanted to find some clues to the details that Dorothy had shown him, and the hints they had made, were a deception, a conspiracy to force his side to abandon all resistance. In other words, he would prefer this: the world is still normal, although many people outside the island are still suffering from all kinds of suffering, but the people of most countries are healthy, and those abnormal scenes and uneasy breaths are only staged in this hospital. The infiltrators tried to usurp the dominance of the hospital, so they set up various conspiracies to attack and force the hospital's management from all angles, and try to reduce their own losses in this collision.

However, this wishful thinking had just come to Dr. Ender's mind, and it had already become full of errors. He hasn't forgotten that the total amount of LCL delivered to the hospital from the outside world has reached nearly 10 million people, especially recently, almost in a single batch of millions of copies. Even if there was a world war, it would never have killed so many people in such a short period of time, right?

10 million LCLs, even if they are distributed to various countries and regions in the world, is definitely not a number that people can ignore, and it is absolutely impossible for the government to completely conceal it. On the other hand, since the number of LCLs delivered to hospitals has reached 10 million, it is unlikely that this number will be the total number of people who have been LCL in the outside world. Dr. Ander knew in his heart that the total number would be a more exaggerated number than "10 million".

No matter how you think about it, there is no good reason to refute Dorothy's suggestion that this terrible, global catastrophe has developed to the point that even a lonely island hospital can still feel it in the case of artificial isolation of intelligence.

"The End of the World...... Is the end of the world coming? Sweat dripped from Dr. Ender's forehead, and he pulled out his handkerchief to calm his mind. Years of research and political struggles have kept his heart from being as fragile as glass. Then, he finally asked a question: "Is the current technology to the point where it can make this kind of virtual screen?" ”

Yes, when he came back from the terrible scene revealed by the virtual screen and the camera, he finally realized: the virtual screen in front of him was like a creation that only appears in science fiction works, and it was a little unreal.

“…… There is no such thing as a virtual screen. Dorothy's answer stunned Dr. Ender, who was stunned for a moment before realizing what a terrible thing he had said.

"You, what did you say? The virtual screen is not in front of you......" Dr. Ender's gaze fell in front of him, and the virtual screen showing the terrible scene in the sea disappeared at some point...... No way...... No way! ”

"Calm down, Dr. Ender." Dorothy's voice, to Dr. Ender's ears, was like a disgusting strange sound, unable to connect with the girls of the past or to humans, and in his mind, those seemingly unrelated cognitions were connected in a ridiculous relationship, so that he could not distinguish which of the things he had seen before, and the things he had thought of based on what he had seen, which were real.

Dr. Ender felt his stomach pouch twitch, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and vomit out a lot of dirt - in the midst of which he seemed to see tiny, strange things that he could definitely not describe as "parasites", waving their limbs in an attempt to crawl out. All this reminded him that his body was like a lair of a monster full of holes.

"Did you have another seizure? How could it be so fast? In the trance of fear, Dr. Ender heard a distant voice, and someone suddenly grabbed his arm, but he felt that it was not a human hand, but like the limb of some kind of monster, like a ...... Those patients and Takagawa clones, he couldn't help but think in his mind: he was going to be taken to some terrible place by them, and they were going to do something terrible to himself. Because-

"Because of what?" He heard himself asking, but the voice was just a strange grunt.

Because, I saw through their conspiracy.

"Yes, conspiracy...... But what is the conspiracy? ”

Before he could continue with his self-questioning, he felt like a needle piercing his heart, and the pain suddenly dispelled the voice in his head, and then, his brain went blank, and the world ended in darkness.

At the same time, the voice near me was far away: "Maybe not, the disease is onset faster than expected, the time is ...... Thirty-seven seconds out of ten. ”

"With one more injection, we can't deny Dr. Ender's ability...... Although he is sick now. ”

When Dr. Ander came again, he felt nothing more than a splitting headache. When the familiar suffocation came out, he found himself lying in a container filled with liquid. The last time he lay in once, this time it must have been the second time. He immediately recognized that his situation might be worse than he had estimated. Dr. Ender pushed the lid of the container hard, and suddenly, it didn't feel like the same lid as the last time.

However, Dr. Ender didn't continue to think about it, he felt that there was something more important. He began to recall that his confusion before he fell unconscious was like a pure memory data that had nothing to do with him, and it came to his mind. Even now, Dr. Ender doesn't know which part of the memory is a hallucination.

He was only sure that he had indeed become a doomsday syndrome sufferer, and that his condition was getting worse, and that the lurkers were trying to heal him and observing him. (To be continued.) )
