2097 The Secret of the Past

Not to mention whether Dorothy and the others have been able to extract the information of the observed "Jiang" and use it to make experimental special drugs, even if they do so, will anyone take the initiative to use it? The answer is yes, people who try new drugs in despair with a fluke mentality have never disappeared in this world, even if they are not in this isolated hospital, but in the civilized society of the outside world, in a national system, for various reasons, ignoring the possible side effects, people who take new drugs abound. "Jiang" is really special if it is really as Dorothy said, but this particularity seems to be less feared in the face of deadly doomsday syndrome.

However, the husband was silent. He had thought that he would answer cheerfully, but when it came to the end, he also began to have doubts, and he had to start thinking. What seemed to have become clear before, after thinking deeply, became confused again. There are so many factors that seem to be inconsequential to your choice that people don't bother to refer to, and there are also some worries that are buried deep in the stress and urgency. But when it comes to making a choice, if you don't have to be a husband, you can't be as big as a reckless man anyway, or if you're barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, give up your life. Even if there is emotion telling him that if there is really a special medicine, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and will the state after taking the medicine be worse than the current state? The odds, the odds, the odds, the odds, every time you think about it, seem to be getting tempting.

At the same time, there is reason telling him that this is just Dorothy's tentative tone, and the other party is just asking this with an oppressive psychology, forcing his own thoughts into the orbit she wants. In fact, there is no medicine at all, and even if there is medicine, it is not something that ordinary patients with doomsday syndrome can take, and what a miserable end it is for patients who are reinfected by "Jiang", Dorothy also mentioned before - even if "Jiang" is really a symbol of the serum epidemic, it is not now. Besides, I can't help but think that "Jiang" is really "Gao Chuan" under the pressure of the virus, and the antibodies spontaneously produced in the body? Can it be simply described as "antibody"?

No, Dorothy never said that "Jiang" was an antibody - she always just said that it was the origin of the peculiarity of "Gao Chuan", and the channel of its birth and the result of secondary infection both proved its danger in the same way. Dorothy has always been very stable in her stance on "Jiang", and her words and actions show that she regards "Jiang" as an enemy of the same kind as "virus" in details.

Is this also the purpose of her remarks now to deepen the vigilance and hostility towards "Jiang" here? Cold sweat began to ooze from his forehead, and the more he thought about it, the more he fell into a kind of strange circle of confusion, and his own experience and knowledge could not help him get out of this strange circle, and these pressures made him feel weaker and more painful.

The birth of "Jiang" seems to be reasonable, but is this truth really that tenable? Can we really equate "viruses" with the plagues that have appeared in the history of human civilization? The results that cannot be observed by the "virus" are in front of you, do you really have to believe that it can be targeted with the same methods and procedures as those conventional viruses that will manifest themselves under the microscope?

Is "Jiang" a guise and bait for a "virus", or a "virus" nemesis that is still growing? In terms of logic and practical evidence, the possibility is still half a pound and eight taels, and the husband has long realized that as a killer, he has always been a skeptic, and he is indeed more inclined to "think in the direction of the bad".

So, his answer was that he had never even considered taking a drug based on Jiang's data, unless he had enough samples to prove effective, or if there was absolutely no hope - but now, it seemed that he could do more, and the research on the "virus" seemed to have a new direction, and he seemed to be able to wait.

The silence of the husband speaks for itself. Dorothy didn't ask any further questions, and continued: "Ah Chuan ate Mae back then, it was Mae's request...... In fact, at that time, no one could understand why, not even Ah Chuan himself didn't know, he just followed Mae's last wish, he was actually very painful, scared, and tortured at that time. He is a normal person, cannibalistic, and eats the person he loves, and the pain and despair he has to endure are unimaginable, and he is not willing to experience it. However, now I seem to understand it. It is likely that Mae already knew something about the 'virus' at that time. This has always been a secret, Mae is a believer, but we don't know what religion she believes, only that it is a secret organization, and even, we don't know who else is a believer besides Mae, and Mae is so special that she can easily be identified from the crowd. ”

Buzuo was really taken aback this time, although I don't know what the believers have to do with the 'virus', but this is a situation that makes people reverie. As Dorothy said, Mae certainly doesn't believe in the world's most well-known religion, and that explains why she ends up letting her lover eat her, who is both a believer and a doomsday syndrome, and the hallucinations of the combination of the two conditions are enough to drive her crazy.

"I used to naively think that Mae became a believer just to seek solace for the soul in those unbearable days, but when I became like this and recognized the existence of the Phantom Dream Realm, I realized that Mae must know something, and the reason why I was able to recognize the Phantom Dream Realm and transfer to the Phantom Dream Realm, and even get closer to the 'virus', is precisely because what Mae left behind is really effective." Dorothy's tone was filled with a different kind of emotion at some point, complex and obscure, so that the husband couldn't understand what kind of emotion it was, only to hear her say: "The ritual pattern at the entrance, the pentagram...... Zhenjiang called it the Old Seal, a treasure she had always treasured. Of course, it is said that it is a treasure, but in the past, there were physical objects, but I don't know when I became conscious. All I know is a pattern, and Mae likes to draw this pattern. ”

"Old seals? It sounds, no matter how you look at it, it does feel like a religious ceremony. "Buzuofu doesn't know how to answer, but, even if he will reverie a lot, but logic and reason still make him think about the situation of Zhenjiang from the unobservability of the 'virus', and feel that she is likely to realize the theoretical and philosophical nature of the 'virus' and experience the pain of patients with doomsday syndrome, so that she will have faith. Throughout history, there has been no greater reason why mankind needs religion than this.

In modern society, because the symptoms of patients with doomsday syndrome are more skewed towards mental and physical diseases, there are ready-made pathologies to refer to, so few people think that there is such a "virus" as a comprehensive source of mental and physical pain manifested by patients. The existence of the "virus" has not been a clear evidence from the beginning, but an impression that has been finally formed by tracing the patient's pathology, a kind of deduction, a kind of speculation, just as quantum theory assumes that there is an indivisible smallest unit in everything, which is a situation that cannot be confirmed at all today.

In the same way, it is as if someone would believe in this hypothesis-based quantum theory as the cornerstone of the grand unification theory, and that it can explain and reconstruct everything from a bottom that cannot be divided into two things, so as to achieve omniscience and omnipotence. For a "virus" with the same nature, it is natural that some people, after recognizing its existence, will believe in this thing that exists theoretically, but cannot actually observe it, even if this thing will bring pain, it can also be explained that it is just a kind of "nature" and "necessity". Even researchers are fascinated by the "virus" and take pleasure in the unknown that surrounds it, let alone ordinary people and infected patients?

What kind of situation is the real river that Dorothy said, I'm afraid even she doesn't understand.

Even if the premise is that Zhenjiang did research on the "virus", it was the "virus" that existed first, and then Zhenjiang recognized it; Or is it that based on his own illness, in a kind of spiritual hallucination, in a kind of desperate and painful oppression, without observing the "virus" and not possessing sufficient knowledge, he constructed himself as a god-like existence of the "virus", forced himself to believe in it, to explore it, and thus comforted his already tattered soul?

Although the result seems to be the same in both cases, in reality, the impact on Mae is not the same. And whether Dorothy's conjecture about the past is correct or not depends on this.

The "virus", Mae's faith, the ritual behavior of the believers, the last wishes that smelled of religious sacrifice, and the "old seals" like the unfathomable symbol of faith—all of these fermented in the body of "Takakawa" and others after Mae's death, and finally spread to the hospital.

In a country where religious management is not too strict, even in a big country like the United States, there are always some people who have strange thoughts and concepts to try to provoke the foundation of human society.

Although he hadn't met Mae and didn't know much about her, from Dorothy's description, from the hints of clues, he seemed to be able to make the outline of the dead girl in his mind. Dorothy wasn't sure about anything, but she was at least right, no matter whether the old seal was useful or not, and whatever Mae actually believed, her actions could reflect her evil nature against human ethics and morals from her last wishes alone. When she was a child, Dorothy and the others probably just thought that everything Mae did at that time was like a game, but now she really doesn't think so.

- I have a bad premonition.

Don't think so.

"Where did she get the old seal? Is it really not a set of religious symbols designed by herself in order to get rid of the mental pressures of daily life? "Don't ask.

"I don't know, although Zhenjiang doesn't hide her beliefs, she doesn't talk too much about her beliefs, she just makes people deeply feel what she really believes in in her daily behavior. She doesn't act so deliberately in front of us, which is disgusting, but she never shies away from us when she does some rituals...... We had rituals together, but it was and was still going to be nothing to do with rituals, which were just children's fantasies. I'm not saying that Mae has completed some kind of unscientific ritual, and some situations have happened that only appear in fantasy stories, but her behavior does have a very profound impact on us, and even if she subjectively does those rituals with a kind of illusion, it may actually conform to a certain law, otherwise, why can the old seal let me be exposed to the fantasy dream? Dorothy said.

"What you say is like a recreation of the history of human faith...... Human beings see the power of fire, find out the function of fire, believe in and fear the flame, believe that special rituals can enhance the power of fire, but it is undeniable that some parts of the ritual do have elements that make the flame more powerful, but the people who perform the ritual and observe the ritual have not been able to peel off the shell of the ritual and find out its inner elements. They had no knowledge of it, but the rituals were effective – and thus, a religion that believed in the god of fire was born. The husband's face turned paler and looked like a dead man, and he seemed to understand Dorothy's opinion of Mae, who was actually luckier than anyone else, and realized earlier that certain rituals could work on himself as a patient with doomsday syndrome, although, most likely, Mae didn't know why, nor what would eventually happen.

So, Mae performed the ceremony.

When I think of the fire that parted with me and the whole orphanage buried in a lot of confusion, I can't help but feel that the bad luck brought about by the cult ritual is so terrifying that it still exerts influence today.

"Have you always kept Mae's old seal? I found some ritual items in the dormitory building of the three girls in Sakiya...... Do you know who put it in? You should know where Sakuya and the others are now, and what is the situation, right? The husband asked. Because the old seal marks he saw at the entrance before entering this underground facility were almost identical to some of the pendants found in the glove lockers on the roof of the dormitory. Dorothy's current state seems to be unable to move, but it doesn't mean that she is the only one in the hospital who knows about Mae's rituals and old seals.

He has a lot of guesses, hoping that Dorothy can give an answer.
