When Gao Chuan was suffering from illness, his physical body remained the same as that of a teenager, as if his growth had stopped, but in his detailed medical examination report, the cell turnover was several times that of ordinary people, and Dr. Nguyen Li, as Gao Chuan's attending doctor, knew more about Gao Chuan's physical abnormalities than most people in the hospital. The cells are highly activated, but they do not have the limit to division, and the energy that supports this activity is not simply absorbed by guò itself. In the common cognition, the acceleration of cell turnover is not a good phenomenon, although on the surface, it can cause the phenomenon of self-healing power enhancement, but the accompanying side effects are greater, human cell turnover has a limit, at the same time, to reach this limit in a short period of time, it takes a lot of energy, and this kind of energy can not be provided by ordinary people's own food digestion function.

This kind of great activity at the microscopic level in the body is a characteristic of patients with doomsday syndrome, but Gao Chuan is still different from other patients with doomsday syndrome in this regard, because this activity has been maintained in an extremely fragile equilibrium for a long time, although drugs also play a large role in it, but judging from the number of things, Dr. Nguyen Li feels that even without the help of drugs, Gao Chuan's collapse will still be much later than other patients with doomsday syndrome. Moreover, with the number of jù collected later, it was only possible to make such a conclusion: the phenomenon of "stopping growth" on Takakawa's appearance originally only happened to him alone, and after that failed serum injection, Dorothy, Shise, Sakiya, Hachijing, and Marceau also showed differences from other patients with doomsday syndrome, and from this phenomenon, it can almost be roughly believed that it was Takakawa's information that caused the five girls to have a change, and even so. At this time, the phenomenon of "stopping growth" of Sakiya, Hakkei and Marceau is also the same.

Just in terms of appearance, the three girls, Sakiya, Hakkei, and Marceau, are younger than Takagawa in appearance, but in fact, the four of them are about the same age, in terms of bone age. Marceau was also two years older than Takakawa. The phenomenon of "stopping growth" presented by these three girls is also an illusion, and the changes at the cellular and genetic levels are quite drastic as those of Takakawa, but there are many differences from Takakawa. These differences are comprehensive, and it is by no means just one or two factors that can explain that compared to Takakawa's "stopped growing", but just from the change in appearance, the three girls also show the phenomenon of "infantilization". Comparing their past and present photos, this "infantilized" appearance difference will become more obvious.

As an expert in psychology, Dr. Nguyen Le believes that this is an example of three girls who start from the spiritual level and then interfere with their physical growth after a personality breakdown – and in this judgment, she also draws on Dr. Ander's theory of "the interaction between the mind and the body". Leaving aside the direction of studying the "virus", the theory and feasibility of the "human completion plan". In this hospital, there are indeed many examples of zài. Perhaps in contraindication studies in the past. There have been similar theories mentioned and similar studies done, but as far as Dr. Nguyen Li knows, this is the only one that really has a clear feasibility at present. And it's in the hands of Dr. Ender. This is something that research experts in the hospital have to admit.

Dr. Ender's research strength is strong, and the direction can also give people hope for success, which is why a group of experts have gathered under his banner, and his team will be supported by the hospital.

Even so. As an expert, Dr. Nguyen Le still believes that his method is more correct and feasible – there is not only one way to study the same goal, and the competition at the level of scientific ideas has continued from the early days of science to the present and will certainly continue into the future. If you don't have the self-confidence that is equivalent to stubbornness, you don't want to go your own way and forge a new path, you can't be called an "enterprising expert", and naturally, you can't become a "great scientific pioneer".

From this point of view, Dr. Nguyen Li is convinced that if he had been accepted into Dr. Ender's team, he would have firmly adhered to his own views and research directions, and perhaps Dr. Ender saw through this and refused to join the team. After all, once you join the team, you will definitely divert some of the resources that have always belonged to Dr. Ender's research direction due to differences in philosophy. The resources available for research are limited, and researchers are naturally reluctant to give their exclusive part and the part of their own results to people who do not agree with their own interests, even if this person is also a member of their own team. In other words, accepting this kind of person is fundamentally harmful to the team you lead.

Dr. Nguyen Le understands these things and has seen too much of this competition, but, as she thinks, she accepts it and tries to participate in it. This is also the reason why she joined the Sleeper Organization, and she also feels that it is the reason why the Sleeper Organization can recruit so many researchers - the resources provided by the hospital are still too few to meet all the experts in the "hospital". Whether it was to make a name for himself, to prove himself right, or simply because of his own research instinct, the experts who had gathered on the island eventually split after Dr. Ender took the lead in the hospital's research. Moreover, in the eyes of experienced experts, this is also an inevitable result.

Dr. Ruan Li has rarely thought about why he is so stubborn, and would rather join the Infiltrator Organization than work against Dr. Ender's team, after all, the difference in philosophy between the two has not reached the point of life and death, and even, in the eyes of ordinary people, even if they accept Dr. Ender's philosophy, it is nothing to start. It's just that, from a psychological and sociological point of view, differences in ideas do produce jaw-dropping confrontations - Dr. Nguyen Le can cite many examples, and these examples are really inexplicable to ordinary people, but they seem to be recognized: there is a delicacy called "tofu brain" in the Central Principality, which tastes sweet and salty, and originally, the disagreement about taste does not rise to lifelong hostility and life-threatening, but in this example. Because of the question of "should tofu brain be sweet or salty", some people have developed into personal attacks, and even become murderers. In that example, the killer was convicted of mental illness and then in a mental hospital, killed by another guy who was similarly paranoid about the "tofu brain problem".

Yes. Everyone is studying the "virus" and removing the threat of the "virus", and the results obtained in the process are ultimately used to endanger the society or benefit the society, and it is not something that the researchers themselves can control. From this point of view, it seems that there is a basis for working together to overcome difficulties, but differences in ideas and lack of research resources make this kind of cooperation like a mirror. It was impossible to do it from the start.

Takakawa, Tiese, Dorothy, Sakiya, Hakkei, and Marceau can all be counted as the most precious research resources, and Dr. Ender's team has Takakawa's resource assistance and color center, which allows them to always have an advantage on the basis of resources, and also makes other experts not see the possibility of stepping on the competitive stage. However, the disappearance of Takakawa, the emergence of Super Dorothy, and the strength of the Lurkers organization itself. Let other experts see the hope of competition. Although the team of the Lurkers has been chasing after them, only now. The competition for Sakiya, Hakkei and Marceau is the epitome of this competition, and it is also an extremely crucial link.

Once the Lurkers have acquired Sakiya, Hakkei, and Marceau, at least in terms of special resources, they can be seen as a symbol of overtaking Dr. Ender's team. Dr. Nguyen Le agrees. Because, from the actual research, she has realized the irreproducibility of Takakawa. Those "Takakawa clones" and even the person in front of them could not truly reproduce the particularity of Takakawa in the study, and judged by the researcher's intuition. The research value of Sakiya, Hakkei, and Marceau is also higher than these Takakawa clones. Therefore, even if Dr. Ender's team can create many Takakawa clones, they will not be able to offset the loss of resources of Sakuya, Hakkei, and Marceau in a short period of time.

Moreover, Dr. Ruan Li also felt that if he obtained the real sense of the right to govern the three girls, the situation of the three girls would be better than in the hands of Dr. Ender's team and even other researchers in the Lurker organization.

The huge and strong thought made Dr. Ruan Li's body stiffen for a moment as he stared at the girl playing the card game, and the gloomy and creepy atmosphere in the dark environment seemed to become extremely fragile in such thoughts, and it was completely shattered with a light sweep. The leader remained silent and did not urge. Dr. Nguyen Li walked up to the three girls, bent down, brushed the sideburns of one of them, and looked into her unfocused eyes. The three girls all looked like this, their faces were not malnourished, but due to illness, their weak bodies made them look a little younger, although they were playing cards, they were not watching the cards, no one knew, what they were looking at, Dr. Ruan Li did not know. The three girls react very little to external stimuli, and even when someone moves their bodies, they always don't feel it.

Looking at their situation from a psychological perspective, Dr. Nguyen Le has felt many times that there is no possibility of their recovery. Looking at them, Dr. Nguyen Le always thought of Gao Chuan, who had always believed that he could save them, and did not shy away from saying such things to her. However, when she asked him for more specific methods, the young man was always speechless, and his stubborn and hopeful gaze would cast some heavy shadows, and in turn, it was precisely because of this shadow that the firmness of the young man could not be erased, so that Dr. Ruan Li was impressed by him and was willing to believe that there would be such a happy ending.

It's like accompanying a patient who is going to die at any time, and having a beautiful dream of the future. When you wake up from a dream, it's always very melancholy. As for grief and pain? A long time ago, there weren't. If you treat every patient's regrets and every patient's story with emotion, being a doctor is a very painful thing, especially when facing patients who have little possibility of recovery, but who seriously want to live and are full of dreams.

Takakawa fails to fulfill his dream, and Sakiya, Hakkei, and Marceau, also lose the umbrella he acts as a protector. "However, it doesn't matter, you have always been loved, and even now, there are still dreams for you." Dr. Nguyen Le smiled, touched the heads of the three girls, picked up one of them, and said to the passer-by, "That's them." ”

The leader picked up the remaining two, and the girls did not resist, and the cards in their hands were scattered on the table and on the ground. It's as if these cards don't matter anymore. Dr. Nguyen Le glanced at the cards and tried to put them away, which had rarely left the girls' hands in the past, and she knew that many mentally ill people were obsessed with things that didn't make sense in the eyes of others. But. At this time, a lot of time has been wasted here, and it is impossible for the feint attack organized by the lurkers to continue forever, and he and the others must leave as much as possible.

"There's no time." The passer-by glanced at the cards and seemed to know Dr. Ruan Li's thoughts, "Doctor, are these cards really important?" ”

"No, I guess it's okay, there will be a replacement." Dr. Ruan Li said, turning around and walking out of the door with the girl in his arms.

She took one last look at the locked door of Takakawa's room. Frowning, he walked away briskly as the leader walked away. The two of them disappeared in the shadows downstairs, and after a while, a team of heavily armed security guards escorted three researchers in white coats to arrive, and they immediately noticed the disappearance of the three girls, Sakiya, Hakkei, and Marceau, and their faces were gloomy, but they did not curse. They crouched on the ground and examined a qiē in the room. The place where the researchers cared was, of course, not the same as the security personnel.

"Two people have come in." Security personnel said.

"Can you find them?" The researcher asked.

"There's only a fifty percent chance." Security personnel replied.

"Then do your best. I'll tell Dr. Ender. The researcher said. He picked up a card from his feet, pointed to the abstract pattern on it, and asked, "What do you think this is?" ”

The security guards were stunned, looked at each other, and then said, "This is your job as a doctor, isn't it?" ”

"That's right." The researcher nodded, and said calmly, "I don't know what it is. Still, I don't think it's meaningless. Dr. Ender thinks so, too. They took Sakiya, Hakkei, and Marceau, but they didn't have time to clean them up, and it can only be said that they haven't really realized it yet. Where is the breakthrough point of the research? He tapped his head and said, "Here it is." They can't tell from the three girls what they have to say, but we can know from the cards—maybe. ”

The security personnel had a blank look in their eyes, not understanding what the researcher was talking about, and after looking at each other again, they shrugged their shoulders in unison. However, there is one thing they still care about very much: "Doctor, this mission ......"

"Well, it's okay, so be it. Although something was lost, it wasn't anyone's fault. The researcher replied reasonably, causing the security personnel to smile easily.

"Help me check if there's anything like this graffiti here." The researcher spoke, and along with the other two researchers, collected the cards on the floor and table. The security personnel shouted at each other and scattered around the room again to search for a while. When they met again, the security personnel did not have anything special, and the three researchers discussed it and handed the cards to the researcher who had been in charge of communicating with the security personnel.

"Wrap up." The leader of the security personnel shouted, securing the researcher in the center again, and quickly evacuated the dormitory building. As soon as they arrived downstairs, they were immediately attacked by a group of frenzied patients, who attacked so fiercely that several security personnel were killed. They fought and retreated, and the situation was definitely not good. However, what happened to them was playing out in every corner of the hospital at this time.

On this day, the Doomsday Syndrome sufferers fell into a state of madness and collapse on a large scale due to factors that some researchers could not confirm, and the Lurkers took advantage of this opportunity to achieve the transfer of Sakiya, Hakkei, and Marceau with minimal loss. The combatants believe that this is a coincidence, but for the researchers, there is an unspeakable, but extremely disturbing insider. At this point, the competition for the study of "viruses" has entered a temporary new stage.

Dr. Ender left the hospital that day, and although the hospital did not actually detain him, it was the first time in two years that he had left the hospital. He could guess what the people who took Sakiya, Hakkei, and Marceau were, and he felt that the current situation was still under his control, but in order to guide the next situation and improve his chances of winning in the end, he needed more support and arrangement. He is not one of those experts who only knows how to research, but not politics. He has always believed that his means of handling personnel are as powerful as his research strength, and it should be said that his ability to excel in this kind of struggle is part of his "research strength."

When did man come to know the existence of the self? Can you still remember the whole process of self-affirmation? In addition to human beings, do other life in the world have the concept of "self"? If they have, then, in this "self", what kind of existence does they see themselves? Carmen, the agent of Doom, had been thinking about this all along. What is oneself when one awakens to the idea of "agent of doom" and knows the meaning of this term? In what way do you save zài? The origin of this problem lies in the fact that he knows a lot of things, but he is not clear how he became a "doomsday agent".

It seems that when the concept of "agent of doom" was born, he had his own self. Carmen felt that this was not the way it should be. Taking 10,000 steps back, if this is the case, I don't have a zài ego until I get the concept of "doomsday agent". Then, that means that one's own thinking is close to the source of consciousness.

Consciousness, will, mind, spirit, all things on the inner level, will become the embodiment of the "mystery" in the apocalyptic illusion. Carmen knows that he needs strength, he needs mystery, and he seems to be able to defeat a qiē now, but in the end, he still needs to face a monster. And it was the monster that made him what he was - in that sense, the monster that gave him ego, his power, his creator. And everything he thinks and does is to defeat this creator and gain "independence" and "freedom" in the true sense of human philosophy.

That monster, that Creator, is called "Jiang".

Yes, Carmen knew what she was, her relationship with Takagawa, the existence of the "virus", her composition, and her biological "mission". It is precisely because he knows so many things that he is very sure that it is not the "virus" that contributes to his existence, but the "Jiang", of course, at first, the two may not need to be so distinguished, but at present, the influence of "Jiang" is already very obvious, and even threatens the foundation of his existence as an intellectual being.

Carmen knows the difference between herself and Takakawa. Biologically, they are actually different parts of the same individual, but, ideologically, they are quite different. It is this difference that makes Carmen firmly believe that his position is in the consciousness sequence of "Jiang", under "Gao Chuan", and belongs to a chess piece that can be discarded. It was precisely because he realized the unexpectedly close relationship between "Jiang" and "Gao Chuan" that he didn't believe that "Gao Chuan" would die at all.

Even if he has no weaker than Gao Chuan in terms of apocalyptic illusion or material body, he has no weaker than Gao Chuan, and can even be said to be stronger in terms of power and control, no matter from which point of view, it is natural to defeat and destroy "Gao Chuan". Carmen still doesn't believe she can do that.

Just because of the existence of "Jiang", it is impossible for "Takakawa" to die until "Jiang" is defeated.

From the perspective of the timeline, the difference between "Jiang" and "virus", or in other words, the time when "Jiang" existed in the sense of independent self, it was also the time when it was born, and the moment of self-consciousness, the title of "agent of doom" and the accompanying mission, task, or in other words, a kind of assigned duty, have always existed. And this duty is not always the same - although, at that time, I really thought that it was unchanging, forever, and could only go to the end of one line. (To be continued......)
