Chapter 2346: Mind Assault (Part X)

"Worked overtime until very late yesterday, I'm going back to sleep. Delis, you arrange for someone to check on the patients we've been in contact with recently, ask about their situation, and put the records on my desk. I'll be back before dinner."

Schiller took the pen from his white coat pocket and nodded to the senior sister. The black-haired girl smiled at him and made a gesture of guaranteeing the completion of the task.

"Worked overtime until very late?" Charles looked at Schiller's back with some doubt. He said, "Didn't we disperse after 10 o'clock yesterday?"

"The doctor's routine is very normal, to be precise, normal to the point of being abnormal." Delis put away her pen, her eyes swaying between Charles and David. She said, "Your eyes are very similar. Are you brothers or relatives?"

David shook his head in silence, and Delis didn't ask any more questions. She said, "A lot of people are on business trips recently, and we are short of manpower. Because of the nature of our department, most of the patients we contact are not in the inpatient department of this department. The farthest one might be in the fourth inpatient department. Who of you is willing to go?"

"I'll go." David stood up and said, "Anyway, it's the same for me no matter how far it is. Give me his room number and name."

"Oh, this won't work." Delis shook her head and said, "I will help you make an appointment in the system, and then you go to the front desk to check. The nurse will tell you which ward he is in. Call his name when you go in. If he doesn't answer you, go to the duty nurse and resident doctor."

"To prevent impersonation?" Charles asked.

"To prevent people with ulterior motives." Delis sighed and said, "There are always some strange people impersonating doctors and nurses. You know, the FBI or something."

After David left, Charles looked at her and asked, "Then what about me? Where do I go?"

"I heard Dr. Schiller say that you are more inclined to academic research, so I want to save you some time. You go to the inpatient department of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department near here and see the lady who received intervention yesterday."

"Ms. Yin Yin Lisha?"

"Yes, but you have to be careful. Her husband is more emotional and cries easily. The nurses in that ward are tired of coaxing him. You just happen to go and help them out."

Charles nodded and left without saying anything. Dr. Mela's eyes had been sticking to his back, but Charles was in a hurry to see Yin Yin Lisha and didn't notice it.

Charles came to the corner of the corridor again. After listening for a long time, he found that there was no movement inside. He stopped a nurse and asked, and found out that they went to the courtyard for a walk.

Patients in hospital gowns were watching the fountain in twos and threes, and some were walking with their family members. Charles found Yin Yin Lisha in a wheelchair and her husband Oakes sitting under a big tree in the farthest corner of the garden.

Yin Yin Lisha was holding a cat in her arms, a long-haired ragdoll cat. She kept stroking its ears and top of its head, and Oakes laughed from ear to ear.

But the good times didn't last long. Just after Charles came down, the wind started. It was early autumn in New York. Although it wasn't completely cold, the wind made people feel chilly.

The nurse began to rush people back to the building. Yin Yin Lisha didn't want to go because once she went back, she could only put down the cat. She leaned against the tree and looked very resistant, but the nurse didn't have that much patience and only let her husband hurry to persuade her back.

In fact, Oakes also hoped that Yin Yin Lisha would go back as soon as possible. It was already a miracle that she could appear outdoors in a wheelchair. This was because he had contacted the Women's Federation before and learned about Yin Yin Lisha's serious situation, so he was specially approved for a healing serum, which allowed the wound to heal so quickly.

But Yin Yin Lisha's physical condition was still not good. Healing serum consumes her physical strength, but mental illness plagued her, making her not sleep for several nights. At this time, her face was pale and her body was weak, as if she would faint at any time.

From Charles's perspective, Yin Yin Lisha was even more pitiful. She curled up in the wheelchair, hugging the cat tightly, crying helplessly, and kept blinking because of the wind, her lips pale without blood.

Charles had to walk up and say hello to Oakes. Oakes had seen him. When Schiller talked to Oakes that day, he brought Charles.

"My God, Dr. Charles, are you here for rounds? I'm really sorry, we should have waited for you in the room."

"No, it's okay." Charles turned to look at Yin Yin Lisha. Yin Yin Lisha suddenly waved and hit Charles on the side of his thigh, pushing him out. Oakes was stunned.

"Hey, hey, Yin Yin Lisha, don't do that. My God, I'm really sorry."

"I don't want to go back." Yin Yin Lisha said, "You want to take it away. I won't let you take it away."

This lady was obviously mentally ill. Charles didn't need to read minds to see it. It seemed that pets weren't a good way to cure her. What should I do now?

Yin Yin Lisha was a patient after all, and that push didn't use any strength, but Charles still stepped back a few steps, and then he tried to persuade her using the methods in the textbook.

"Ma'am, calm down, take a deep breath. You are now in the inpatient department of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of New York-Presbyterian Hospital. This is your husband, and I am an intern doctor. We are all taking care of you, you are very safe."

"Your cat also has no problems. It is very healthy, held in your arms, no one wants to hurt it, and no one wants to take it away from you."

"We just want to..."

"You took everything from me." Yin Yin Lisha screamed, "My child's heartbeat, his life and soul, and my body, my family, everything I have, give them back to me."

Yin Yin Lisha began to roar in an incoherent tone, her voice sharp and urgent, completely covering Charles's voice. He was sure that this lady couldn't hear anything now.

"Did she take medicine?" Charles asked Oakes.

"Obviously not." Oakes shook his head and said, "We have no way to make her take the medicine. The nurse said, consider transferring to the psychiatry department after her body gets better."

"I'm not going anywhere." Yin Yin Lisha began to mutter, "My child is here, all my children, Donna, Dudu, they all came, I will guard them here, and won't let you take it away again..."

The grammar is chaotic, the parts of speech are unclear, and the personal pronouns are changed back and forth. It is unclear which one she is referring to. This is a sign that the language system is starting to be chaotic, which is a great omen.

Charles became a bit helpless. He could indeed analyze other people's brains very well when writing papers and combine them with various psychological theories, but all these theories don't include how to use words to comfort a patient who is having an attack.

Watching Yin Yin Lisha getting more and more excited, Charles still invaded her brain, and then was almost shocked by those chaotic and disorderly thoughts.

He hadn't studied the inner world of mental patients before, but that was when their mental state was relatively stable. Suddenly accessing the brain of a patient in the onset period also caused him no small impact.

Too painful, Charles felt the same as Yin Yin Lisha at this moment.

One perspective is correctly recognizing this world. She should hand over the cat to her husband. He will definitely take good care of them. She feels very cold and should return to the warm and comfortable ward and have a good sleep. Everything will pass.

But the other perspective is not like this. Her child cried loudly when he fell to the ground, with a bloody and purple face, and asked her with a ferocious expression why she let them take him away. Then the cat's face gradually overlapped with the child's face, and they began to ask, keep asking, keep repeating, repeating, and repeating...

"Enough."

With a swish, the second hallucination perspective disappeared completely. When Charles exhaled, he found that his forehead was cold. He sweated a lot, all because he was scared when he brought in Yin Yin Lisha's perspective.

Yin Yin Lisha calmed down.

Of course, Charles directly deleted her second hallucination perspective. Now only the normal perspective is left.

This lady looked very blank, but she still slowly handed the cat in her hand to her husband.

Oakes was surprised and happy. He took the cat, gently put it back into the aviation bag, and pushed Yin Yin Lisha back to the ward with Charles. She even drank a glass of water properly, took the medicine, and soon fell asleep.

"God, I didn't expect this therapy to be so easy to use." Outside the ward door, Oakes looked at Charles gratefully and said, "To some extent, you are also the key, Doctor. You persuaded Yin Yin Lisha."

Actually, I didn't, Charles thought. It's just that from Oakes's perspective, Charles said a few words to Yin Yin Lisha, and she obediently returned to the ward to take medicine and sleep. It's simply a miracle doctor.

Charles looked at the sleeping Yin Yin Lisha and immediately realized one thing. Either don't do it, or do it thoroughly, otherwise they will definitely realize something is wrong.

Charles's deletion action just now can't be said to be gentle, more based on his own self-protection mechanism. Although the deletion was very clean, it was a bit too clean for ordinary people. He suspected that Yin Yin Lisha wouldn't remember that she lost a child when she woke up.

If she really lost her memory, the hospital would definitely investigate. By then, he couldn't escape the blame. If it was traced back to Dr. Schiller, the plan to get closer to him would be completely ruined.

Charles sighed. He invaded Yin Yin Lisha's brain again, began to modify her memory and emotions, and then processed Oakes's memory to make it more reasonable.

But the medical staff he met along the way and the nurse he stopped to ask about the situation before also retained real memories, so they also had to be modified, and they had to be adjusted in the same direction, not contradictory.

Standing in front of Yin Yin Lisha's ward door for a long time, finally finished, Charles breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately after walking through a corner, he saw a figure standing by the window waiting for him.

"Dr. Mela?" Charles looked at Mela and said.

"Yes." Mela turned to look at Charles, his expression gentle, which made Charles breathe a sigh of relief. He was actually a bit guilty, just like bumping into the dean after doing something bad.

"You are a psychic, right?" Mela asked directly.

Charles nodded, not very surprised. Schiller had hinted at it the day they met, Mela might have the same ability as him.

"I come from a monastery at the foot of the Himalayas. My ability is telepathy, no, not mind reading. You can understand it as a meditative magic, not innate, but acquired through practice."

Charles frowned slightly, but didn't refute it. He knew this possibility existed. Some magicians could also read minds.

"Only sensing?" Charles asked. His focus was on whether Mela could manipulate people's brains by intervening in the mind directly like him.

"No, far from you." Mela shook his head and said, "I can only understand some when I concentrate. If I want to be more in-depth, I need long-term meditation."

Then he looked up at Charles and said, "I wasn't a very pious person when I was young. I took too many detours. This is the reason why I chose to devote all my energy to practicing this ability."

"I know you must have good intentions to help people relieve pain. You think this is God's will, and you are just acting on behalf of a mission that humans cannot complete."

"But if ordinary people were such an easy race to interfere with and transform, they would be too complex and cannot be easily understood. If you want to do something, think twice before you act." ===== CHAPTER 2347 =====
