Chapter 386: Outsiders

Gu Yu pinched my face, his eyes were self-evident, and I could even read the subtext in his heart: such as you!

Yes, for example, me, a big zombie with night vision, but Old Joe said that it is not the zombie virus that infects the mad doctor.

The people behind the nursing home have kept it airtight, and the staff's personal belongings have not left the slightest clue, and to be honest, I don't think Qiao Tang will be able to find the information he wants.

Tossed until midnight, Qiao Tang really didn't find the research materials left by his predecessors, but he was very lucky and took out a diary from the boiler of the nursing home.

Two-thirds of the diary was burned, and only the middle part of each page was still recognizable, apparently for a relatively short period of time.

The behind-the-scenes boss of the sanatorium is so strict, such a thing as a diary should not be allowed to exist, looking at the entire sanatorium, only the mad doctor has been in the company for the shortest time, and his obedience may not be as strong as others.

So before Qiao Tang could look through the contents of the diary, I had already determined who its owner was.

In the same way, a diary that is not allowed to exist, if the behind-the-scenes boss wants to deal with it, I'm afraid it will disappear along with other clues, and the person who can lie in the boiler until today, and the person who wants to destroy it is definitely not the behind-the-scenes boss.

Qiao Tang's discovery was forbidden here, and there were no more clues, Dr. Qiao and Qiu Dehai were still sleeping, so we gathered around the nurses' station and listened to Qiao Tang read the diary.

The outer skin of the diary was thick cowhide, which intercepted a lot of firepower for the pages inside, Qiao Tang gently uncovered the burnt cowhide and shook the black ashes on the page.

The four circles of the page were burned black, the middle was yellow, the date part was gone, I don't know what day the diary started, anyway, Qiao Tang read it out when he saw the words.

The diary is less than 100 pages long, and even if it were written every day, it would only take three months.

So I didn't expect much from the contents, Dr. Qiao has been locked up for more than three years, and the information that can be recorded in the three months is very limited.

Removing a lot of miscellaneous content, there is actually very little information about Dr. Qiao, and the mad doctor uses a lot of pen and ink to express his life insights, and he is very painful.

Finally, in the second half of the diary, the mad doctor began to mention Dr. Joe frequently, almost every day.

"I'm shaken, maybe the beliefs that have been insisted on for decades are just a flash in the pan, is Anonymous really crazy? For the first time, I had doubts about my level of professionalism. Qiao Tang's voice was low, but he didn't have the slightest emotion when he read aloud, just like the voice playback plug-in that comes with the reading software.

We can be sure that Anonymous is referring to Dr. Joe, and according to the daily page of the diary, the mad doctor began to doubt Dr. Joe's condition, probably a month before the outbreak of the virus.

"Anonymous refused to communicate with anyone, at least in the three years I've been in charge, he hasn't spoken to anything, not even eye contact. But today, he secretly stuffed me with a rag, it was a bandage, and a few blood words were written crookedly on it, and no one knew the shock in my heart, so I pretended to take a walk and walked around the yard to calm down. Anonymous's imaginary future is too outrageous, but the three words on the bandageβ€”"

Qiao Tang wiped the yellowed pages with his fingertips, and squinted his eyes to carefully identify them, and finally he shook his head slightly: "The content below is burned." ”

He flipped to the next page, but the content was clearly not connected to the previous page, and Dr. Joe handed the mad doctor an important message, and it was only three words, but the mad doctor was so excited that he ran around the yard.

Later, the mad doctor became more and more convinced that Dr. Joe was not sick, which also confirmed that he did not know Dr. Joe's true identity.

From the mad doctor's previous words, it can be seen that he treats Dr. Joe no different than other patients.

Then his appearance is redundant, the behind-the-scenes boss of the sanatorium is in control, why would he suddenly let an ordinary psychiatrist appear here?

Could it be that Dr. Qiao really suffers from a mental illness and cannot continue his research without being cured?

In this way, we can understand why the Mad Doctor's previous diary is more depressing, he feels that his colleagues are using cold violence against him, they are gentle and friendly to him on the surface, but in fact they are silently excluding him.

He is an outsider, and he can only be exposed to work on the surface, and living in such an environment for a long time, any normal person will probably be suspicious.

"I can't die, I don't want to die, no, no, no, I can't do it, is there really no way?"

There was only one sentence written on this page, and it was written in the center of the page, and although there was still no date, we could hear the struggle and pain of the mad doctor.

He may have believed Dr. Joe's prophecy and was struggling with how to face the coming end times.

I didn't find the mad doctor's mobile phone, Qiao Tang said that his office had a phone, but for some reason, the phone line was dismantled, and his computer was not connected to the network cable.

It's actually quite easy to guess, since the mad doctor believes Dr. Joe's prophecy, the first thing he must have done was to inform his family.

The bosses behind the scenes will never allow this to happen, they take the mad doctor's phone, cut his phone line, unplug the network cable of the computer, and trap him in this beautiful cage.

"Desperate, ruined." Qiao Tang only read out eight words, and the more he wrote the diary, the less he wrote, it was not difficult to see that the person who wrote the diary did not have the leisure to dwell on daily affairs.

What exactly did the mad doctor do, it was not written in the diary, Qiao Tang continued to turn the page, and there was content at the back, so these eight words should not represent his mood before he started to kill.

After the eight-character idiom, the content of the diary was re-enlarged, and it was all about my own feelings, how I felt today, how many meals I ate, how many hours I slept, and so on.

"Wait, his mindset is getting too fast, isn't it?" Teng Rui couldn't help but interrupt Qiao Tang.

"I see this part as an observation diary." Lao Qiao put on the posture of a professional doctor again, and said with a serious expression.

"Observation Diary?" Teng Rui raised his eyebrows, "Like an animal observation diary?" ”

"Mice are also animals, so you're right, it's something like that, recording the amount of food eaten by the mice, their weight, and so on during the experiment."

Indeed, the mad doctor's diary is no longer a narrative content, and he lists the information of eating, sleeping, heartbeat, and weight into strips, like a monitoring table.

"He's infected with an unknown virus!" I gave the answer that everyone was waiting for.

Of course he volunteered, but where did he get the future virus?

Gu Yu had been listening carefully, and at this time he suddenly spoke: "It's Dr. Qiao, if he believes Dr. Qiao's prophecy, he will definitely find a way to communicate with Dr. Qiao." ”

"Yes, the virus may have been given to him by Dr. Joe." Tom said.

Old Qiao snapped his palms together, his eyes flashed with excitement, "Use your imagination, doesn't anyone think of Dr. Qiao himself?" ”

Qiao Tang quickly said: "You mean, the virus he was infected with was extracted from my father. ”

"Why not? We don't know what they communicated with later, maybe your father told him the secret of the immortal brain, and the unknown virus only infected his brain, think about it, your father's brain is so special, if someone knew, they would want to get the same one for themselves, wouldn't they? Old Joe's speculation is bold enough, but it is not impossible.

The end times are countdown, and Dr. Joe can't wait any longer, he must find a foreign helper to help him out.

So Dr. Qiao chose the only outsider in the sanatorium, the mad doctor.

Dr. Joe uses a bandage note to convince the mad doctor that he is not sick and that his prophecy will come true.

In order to increase his credibility, Dr. Qiao naturally reveals some of his own secrets, such as the immortal brain.

When the mad doctor learned about it, he also wanted to have such an immortal brain, or become an immortal.

In a desperate gamble, he injected himself with Dr. Joe's cells, blood, or spinal fluid, hoping to get the same abilities as him.

Then he began to record the changes in himself, observing himself like a guinea pig.

But the virus destroyed his brain, and he gradually lost his mind, no, the process should not be so slow, otherwise the boss behind the scenes would have disposed of him a long time ago.

Sure enough, in the following diary, the mad doctor realized that something was wrong with him, and he often lost his memory, initially for a few minutes and a week later for hours.

What bothered him was that during the time period during which he lost his memory, he worked, ate, and slept as usual, so no one noticed his anomaly.

In the eyes of others, he was just stunned, and then he did what he should do, and he did not delay in ward rounds, treatment, and writing medical records.

And when he was stunned again, he had no memory of what had happened between the two moments, sometimes he would appear on the rooftop of the hospital building, sometimes he would stand in the cubicle of the men's bathroom.

He felt like a living ghost, but he didn't pay much attention to it, he just recorded it as it was, thinking it was a side effect of gaining eternal life.

After all, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary during his amnesia, and after a few days, he found that his recovery ability had become stronger, and he could quickly recover from a small cut on his finger.

Unfortunately, the benefits of the virus did not last long, and he became emotional, irritable, and often had dark and cruel thoughts in his heart.

He didn't like anyone, he used to just feel that his colleagues excluded him and made him feel depressed, but the virus brought out his dark side, and he wanted to tear all those hypocritical faces apart and make them disappear from this world.

The mad doctor realized that he was abnormal, and he wanted to go out and go to another hospital for a check-up, but he only had two holidays in a year, the Spring Festival and the summer vacation.

Just when he was in a hurry and couldn't get out of the door, a man appeared in the sanatorium.

Temporary visitors are very rare, all meetings in the nursing home need to be booked, and family members must make an appointment half a month in advance to visit the patient.

"I was like grasping at a life-saving straw, and the man said he could help me, as long as we cooperated." Qiao Tang finished reading the last page and gently closed the diary.
