Plague Doctor

When Gu Jun was taken out of the surgical building, it was exactly midnight, the night sky was as black as ink, and the chirping of birds and animals from the surrounding mountains was quite eerie.

He has re-acquainted with three investigators, except Captain Wang Ke, the other man is Cao Yicong, younger, in his early thirties; the woman is Tang Ziying, younger, she looks not much older than him , with short hair and very hearty, she went to the vending machine first to buy a few loaves of bread and a few bottles of mineral water.

The three of them took him into a police car, which was the most common-looking police car, marked with "public security" and "police", without the logo of Tianji Bureau.

The medical staff who entered and exited the surgical building couldn't help being puzzled when they saw this scene, but the police car drove away immediately.

After leaving the medical department, the police car did not drive towards Dongzhou city, but to the mountainous area in the northeast.

"Captain Wang, may I ask what's going on?" Gu Jun sat in the back row, next to Wang Ke, Cao Yicong was driving, and Tang Ziying was in the passenger seat.

"There is still a long way to go." Wang Ke took the bread and a bottle of mineral water that Tang Ziying had just bought, and handed them to Gu Jun, "Doctor Gu, eat something first, and then rest."

Gu Jun is not familiar with Captain Wang Ke's temperament, but he seems to be a man with a cold face and a warm heart, and judging from his attitude, he doesn't seem to be a wicked person among them... Don't think about it, just do it. After a day of surgery, I was really tired.

He ate a few pieces of bread, drank some water, and took a nap next to the car seat with his eyes closed. No matter what, it was right to accumulate energy.

It's just that although he was very tired, he couldn't fall asleep. The bumps of the car were getting bigger and bigger, and he was walking on a rugged and winding mountain road. In order to know where he was going, he opened his eyes and looked out of the car window from time to time. The car was driving into a remote mountain. It was definitely not going to the investigation department.

Captain Wang Ke didn't stop him either, and wasn't afraid to let him see it.

The mountains are precipitous, the reflections of the hazy trees are like ghosts, and the hissing sounds of various insects are constantly ringing, and the dark night casts a gloomy atmosphere on all of these.

The cries that cut through the night sky abruptly from time to time, I don't know what kind of nocturnal crows or sparrows are screaming, or some unknown lies.

After driving for nearly an hour, the car gradually became less bumpy and arrived at a flat place. Gu Jun also saw dim lights appearing in front of him, it was a village, and after driving for a while, he arrived at his destination this time.

"Doctor Gu, this is the place where patients with post-operative Ischizophrenia disease are temporarily placed. All patients who leave the medical department are placed in isolation here."

In this remote mountain range, there is such a resettlement site with a fence. Patrolling soldiers and checkpoint guards are all members of the Operations Department with live ammunition.

The police car was inspected all the way through several checkpoints before being able to drive into the isolation gate. Gu Jun kept looking out of the car window, the high pole spotlights were shining brightly, there were some military green prefabricated barracks around, and more blue and white simple prefab houses.

Gu Jun listened to Captain Wang Ke's words and asked, "May I know how many patients there are here?"

"Thousands." Wang Ke didn't elaborate on the number. Looking at the prefabricated houses outside the car, his resolute Chinese character face was a little sad. "They are all patients admitted in Dongzhou. They are all affected by groups in one village and one village. , and all of these villages have big banyan trees, without exception."

Gu Jun pondered, in terms of the transmission method of the banyan disease, the villagers need to have been in contact with the banyan tree that caused the disease, but this is unreasonable...

Even if there is a big banyan tree in the village, it is impossible for every villager to touch it within a few days, unless something happens.

"Doctor Gu, have you thought of something suspicious?" Wang Ke said with a serious face, "Our abnormal force investigation team never believes in coincidences."

"Hmm..." Gu Jun nodded silently.

After they got out of the car, Gu Jun was brought into a prefabricated barracks. In the barracks, there were more than a dozen people busy everywhere, some were looking at computers, some were looking at documents, and some were discussing something. Seeing them coming in, everyone stopped and called "Team King" one after another. They should all be colleagues from the investigation department of this team.

It's past one o'clock in the morning. They are racing against time. Has the situation changed?

"Doctor Gu, we want to show you some surveillance videos first." Wang Ke asked Gu Jun to sit on a chair, facing a TV screen.

Before Gu Jun could sit still, four or five people had gathered around him, looking at him undisguisedly, with a rather vigilant look.

"Play the video." Wang Ke said, and Tang Ziying started to operate, and the TV screen immediately lit up the image:

It was in the corridor on the sixth floor of the surgery building of the medical department. It was crowded with patients lying on ambulance beds, and the medical staff were busy walking around. At this time, Zhou Jiaqiang walked past with a group of interns, and suddenly a patient yelled at them crazily. ...

Gu Jun was not surprised, this was his psychological preparation, because he had already discovered that surveillance cameras were installed in the corridors of the surgical building.

Three patients with the disease of the banyan tree were mad at him. If this didn't attract their attention, the investigation department would be a bunch of idiots.

Sure enough, after the corridor video was finished, Tang Ziying played the video of the operating room again, and this video had a sound, which was patient No. 25's excited and shrill cry: "You... the things in the banyan tree! No, don't..." The sound made the air in the entire barracks freeze.

At this point in the video, the picture on the TV screen froze, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes from the investigation team were all looking at Gu Jun.

"Doctor Gu, 'things in the banyan tree' is something that some patients with banyan disease saw in delirium.

The practitioners are scattered all over the world, and the only thing they have in common is that they all have relatively high levels of gnosis. But after surgery, none of them remembered what they saw while they were delirium. "

Wang Ke said some investigations, "We suspect that this is related to abnormal power. We have cooperated with the psychology group of your medical department and made some attempts, such as hypnotizing patients to find delirium memories, but we have not been able to find any valuable clues. Their memories before and after the onset of illness are completely gone.”

This is the first time Gu Jun has learned this information, he frowned slightly, even the hidden memory is gone...

"A few days ago, the medical department gave us new clues. The psychological team believes that you are the 'thing in the banyan tree' that some patients with high psychic fig disease said, and they are their stressors. The collapse has accelerated the development of their illness. Since this incident is very suspicious, combined with your abnormal memory, you may also have unusual early childhood activities..."

When Wang Ke said this, although everyone's expressions did not change, it was this lack of change that gave people a sense of heaviness.

Unusual early childhood activity? Gu Jun thought, what are they suspecting?

"So," Wang Ke said after a pause, "We did a quiz and played the video."

Gu Jun suddenly understood that this test should prove that he cannot do without relationships...

It's just that he still has some luck in his heart that he doesn't want to give up: After those three patients, I didn't make anyone stressful. It's impossible for so many patients to have low spiritual intelligence. Maybe there are other reasons?

At the same time, a new image was broadcast on the TV screen.

In a small blank room, a patient with a right leg prosthesis sits on the only chair, looking nervously at the camera.

I like Plague Doctor.
