Chapter 8: I Want to Be a Doctor!
Mirror World, Sith Federation.
Most of the countries have disappeared after the cataclysm, after all, pollution, radiation and various monsters have almost wiped out 90% of humanity, except for a few countries that are still holding on, and most of them have turned to dust. Only a handful of cities remained, forming a federation and struggling to survive in the lands of the cataclysm.
And the "Sisi Federation" is one of the larger alliances.
In a small town in this federation quite far from the center.
The gray sand was swept by the wind and landed on a door sign, leaving a line of words "Small Town Clinic".
Inside the door, a man in a shabby, dirty white coat was sitting on a chair, leisurely looking at a tattered book.
The book is very poorly printed, the font is crooked, and at first glance, it is copied by a person who cannot write according to the gourd drawing, and it is sold before the cataclysm, and it is estimated that it is not to greet the seller's parents, but to ponder where to bury the seller and burn some paper for him in the coming year.
But in the post-cataclysmic world, this kind of "book" is simply a treasure.
After the cataclysm, technology faded greatly, and the technology of mass printing could not be used on a large scale, so it was good to have this.
Not to mention the weird rules called "pollution".
"Pollution" distorts all the objects and knowledge before the cataclysm, making it inaccessible to ordinary humans. As a result, most books are either dried and rotted, or they become a terrible source of pollution. Ordinary people will only have a mental breakdown, decay of the body, or simply grow something new.
And the white coat in his hand is a product that has been certified by the Sith Federation to be issued normally and will not cause pollution. It contains post-cataclysmic news - untainted knowledge, and some information from the old times that has been deciphered.
"The Sith Federal Information Bureau has deciphered the 'rules of modern football' and intends to hold the first football match?"
Glancing at the content of the top page, the white coat frowned: "They are just messing around!" Football requires eleven people on each side, and if the analysis of the rules is not complete enough, wouldn't it directly pollute more than 20 people! ”
Pre-cataclysmic knowledge, after being polluted, will have two outcomes.
One is the forbidden knowledge that has evolved beyond human imagination. This knowledge is similar to a taboo, it has unimaginable power just by knowing, and still has the power to pollute;
The other is to quickly fade away from contamination and become harmless knowledge. As "1+1 equals 2", even if you know it, it won't make any difference.
But if the second kind of knowledge is not completely parsed and the rules are still missing, then there is still a polluting force. And everyone who comes into this knowledge, will be contaminated!
And "modern football rules" are knowledge that has been deciphered recently.
Because this kind of knowledge is more complex, it is likely to be missing, so people have always been more cautious about it.
But now the next door even claims to have completely deciphered it and even intends to hold a competition......
"It seems that the failure of the expedition some time ago made the people above anxious, and they are going to find something else to boost their morale."
Scratching his head, the white coat sighed: "But rely on football...... Tsk, the people above really dare. ”
Football was not taboo knowledge before, and people knew about it.
But "playing football" is taboo.
Because the rules are not known, and playing football itself must follow the rules of football, anyone who tries to "play football" when the rules are not deciphered can lead to contamination.
To put it simply, people after the cataclysm knew what "football" was, but they didn't know what the rules of playing football were and how to play it, so no one had played it before.
So this also represents a lot of life after the cataclysm.
People are likely to know something pre-cataclysmic, but don't dare to try it because they don't know enough about it.
And now the Sith Federation claims to have completely deciphered the rules of football and intends to hold a football match......
They dare, too.
It's hilarious if the rules of football are not fully deciphered, or if modern football rules don't actually apply to football.
Putting down the tattered book in his hand, the white coat raised his head and glanced at the door.
He sensed that someone was rushing towards the clinic.
Sure enough, about a minute later, a young man with a pale face stumbled into his clinic.
"Colin ......"
Looking at the person who rushed into the clinic, the white coat sighed lightly: "How is it?" ”
He was asking Colin about the harvest of his actions before he acted.
It was he who had told Colin that if he went to the snowy mountains, he might be able to find a forbidden thing to save his brother.
Colin, on the other hand, staggered to the white coat.
"Brother Lin......"
Colin gasped for breath, his voice interrupted: "Is there a ...... What's the solution...... OK...... Become a 'doctor' fast! ”
Become a 'doctor'?
The white coat couldn't help frowning: "You want to be a 'doctor'?" ”
"Yes!"
The white coat's brow furrowed even tighter: "Although I don't know where you heard that, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"Do you know what a doctor means?"
The white coat stood up and propped up the table with both hands: "That's extraordinary!" It is the knowledge of the forbidden that acquires the existence of a power that does not belong to human beings! ”
In the aftermath of the cataclysm, many people began to have special powers because of pollution.
This power is varied, but one thing is constant.
That is, forbidden knowledge, taboo things, all have the potential to make people step into the extraordinary. And when we become extraordinary, we will be able to endure more pollution and harness more of the power of pollution.
In short, knowledge, taboos, are the cornerstones of this world!
And the "doctor" is one of the transcendent.
Although he runs a clinic, he is not a "doctor". Because he is not yet extraordinary, he cannot use the power of pollution, and he has no special abilities.
After a moment of silence, the white coat continued, "Listen up Colin." ”
"I know your intentions, if you can become extraordinary, then you can use the power of pollution to help you heal your brother. Especially the 'doctors', once they become transcendent, they have the power to heal diseases. ”
"But doctors, it's not so easy to become. Even in the entire Sith Federation, doctors are extremely rare existences, and although most people claim to be doctors, they only know some pathological knowledge, which cannot be regarded as extraordinary, do you know why? ”
Hearing this, Colin wiped the sweat from his forehead: "...... I don't know. ”
The white coat looked at Colin seriously: "Because it's too difficult!" ”
"It is said that the first step to becoming a doctor is to know some ancient, mysterious oath."
Speaking of this, the white coat couldn't help but be a little deflated.
Once upon a time he also wanted to be a doctor, but ...... It's just too difficult.
"Do you know how many years the cataclysm is away from us?"
Without waiting for Colin to reply, the white coat muttered to himself, "Two thousand years." But do you know when that ancient oath was made? ”
"It was born thousands of years before the Cataclysm! That means it may have been around longer than we were in the cataclysm! ”
The white coat sighed: "Think about it, so many things have disappeared in the two thousand years since our cataclysm, but what about before the cataclysm? So that's why it's very difficult to become a doctor – it's almost impossible for us to become a doctor step by step! For we cannot know that ancient vow. Unless, you go with the help of the power of the taboo. There are some pollutants that are said to have the ability to make people become doctors, such as a person who was given a piece of paper in the past, which was called a 'medical license'......"
"So Colin, give up those useless fantasies!"
Colin, however, acted as if he hadn't heard.
He just whispered the words of the white coat.
"Oath", "Ancient"......
Soon he raised his head and nodded heavily towards the white coat: "I understand, thank you, Brother Zhao!" ”
White coat: "??? ”
Bastard, what do you understand?!
