Chapter 2347: Mind Assault (Part XI)

"Oh, Doctor, you're back. Did you sleep well?"

"Not bad." Schiller yawned, sat down in his chair, and glanced at the round records placed on his office desk. Each page was very brief, indicating that there was nothing unusual.

"Did anything happen while I was away?"

Schiller was just asking as usual, but Wei'an said, "The front desk of the Obstetrics and Gynecology inpatient department called you, and I said you would call them back later."

Schiller nodded, picked up the phone, pressed the number for the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, transferred it to the front desk, and said, "Hello, this is Schiller. My student told me that there was a call from you. May I ask what's the matter?"

The more Schiller listened, the more he frowned, but he said nothing, and said, "Okay, help me tell them, this is my honor."

After Schiller put down the phone, he was thoughtful. Just at this time, Charles walked in. Schiller gave Wei'an a look, and he went out. At this time, only Schiller and Charles were left in the office.

Seeing the phone in Schiller's hand, Charles knew it was exposed, but he didn't feel any angry emotions around Schiller. Although he couldn't read minds, his ability was already strong enough to feel the other party's emotions very clearly even without intervening in the other party's brain waves at all, but Schiller was indeed not angry. If he had to say it, he was just a bit helpless.

"Charles, I know your ability is very powerful, and I don't mean to say that using your ability like this is hurting ordinary people. I know your starting point is good, and you also gave the best possible result, but I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think."

"I'm all ears."

Charles sat opposite Schiller and said.

"Still that sentence, it sounds a bit ruthless, but my requirements for every doctor and intern in the psychiatry department are the same: don't over-intervene with patients. If they are not painful, don't treat them."

"But Yin Yin Lisha is very painful."

"Because you felt her pain, right?" Schiller said, "You faced her pain directly with a method more intuitive than ordinary people. This made you feel uneasy and restless about your behavior of standing by."

Charles nodded.

"Maybe you have never thought that your ability also has a bad side, just like now. Perhaps ordinary people can see her pain through Yin Yin Lisha's expression and actions, but they can't understand it after all. They can't feel the same as her like you."

"So they can hold back very well, act according to the process, try their best not to mix in private feelings, and only do the doctor's duty, trying to give up those extra sympathies."

"But I don't understand what's the benefit of doing this." Charles shook his head and said, "We should do our best, instead of being indifferent to others' pain. You are closer companions, aren't you?"

Schiller sighed softly and said, "Theoretically, it is like this, but the wonderful thing about the human race is that many things don't happen according to theory."

"Perhaps there will be no serious evil consequences this time, perhaps you will have good results a thousand times and ten thousand times, but as long as there is one time, as long as there is one disaster brought about by the uncontrollability of humans, the vicious circle will begin."

Charles frowned. He could hear the metaphor in Schiller's words, but couldn't find the point of the metaphor.

But he didn't expect Schiller to be willing to talk more deeply. He heard Schiller say.

"

"If his situation is still at a high probability of being recovered by conventional means, then do not take unconventional means, because everything you do within your duties is protected by the rights and responsibilities that have existed in the medical profession since ancient times. You are just doing what a doctor should do."

"But everything you do outside of your duties is only responsible to yourself. You have to bear the possible consequences of all this, but that is not always good. Still, the same saying: ten thousand good results cannot compare to the harm brought to you by one bad result."

"And to some extent, this is also irresponsible to the patient. Although it is always said that modern medicine is a science that completely follows laws, which is exactly the opposite of empiricism, the modern medical system is established by summarizing the long history of human medicine and is almost the most suitable system for modern humans."

"The things you do extra may seem good, but the changes brought about by everything beyond this system are unpredictable and usually exceed the scope that normal humans can bear, which means that in the vast majority of cases, there will be no good results."

Charles's brow was deeply furrowed; he listened very carefully and recorded every pause in Schiller's speech.

Schiller put his hands on the table, looked into his eyes, and said, "Personally, I can fully understand. As the only person in this world who can understand them, you experience their personal feelings, and understanding comes effortlessly. And because you are a mutant, you look at everything about them from a higher bystander perspective, imagining salvation too easily."

"These two kinds of ease make it unnecessary for you to consider carefully when using your abilities, because there are no difficulties in front of you, only a smooth road."

Schiller spread his hands and said, "This sounds too easy. Use your brain manipulation technique to delete the pain of every patient you encounter and gain comfort and satisfaction. You don't lose anything but can give to others."

"But you know that the gifts of fate are secretly marked with a price. The law of this world's operation is that there is giving and taking; there has never been a perfect thing."

Charles sat in place and was silent for a long time. He had been thinking about what Schiller said, and then he spoke.

"But I still don't understand, what exactly is the secretly marked price?"

Schiller was also silent.

"Forgive me, it's hard for me to describe it to you," Schiller shook his head and said. "Right now, my identity is your teaching supervisor, but I really can't give you any guidance in professional fields. However, those things outside of professional fields are really hard to express through language."

"If you feel that the teaching you can get from me is very limited, then you can choose to change teachers. Perhaps I can also recommend one to you."

"No, I'm not changing," Charles refused flatly.

Schiller pressed his temples with his hand and thought, Charles's temper is much better than Bruce's, but the only problem is that both of them are stubborn.

"Alright, let's discuss some specific issues. What did you do to Yin Yin Lisha and Oakes?"

"I..." Charles hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to say it so that Dr. Schiller wouldn't think he was quibbling.

He actually thought this way: Dr. Schiller must be on the side of ordinary people, and if he directly said he deleted Yin Yin Lisha's memory and also modified the memories of everyone including Oakes and the surrounding medical staff, it would be really hard not to cause resentment.

Charles knew that almost all ordinary people are afraid of this, even his own parents. When he bluntly stated certain things they were thinking about when he was young, they would also feel shocked and disgusted.

Charles held a mocking attitude toward this because the knowledge and secrets in ordinary people's brains are basically only valuable to themselves, and he didn't know what they were hiding.

However, he must consider Schiller's feelings now because it is obvious that he has to stay in this universe for a while longer. If he were disliked and kicked out, it would be terrible.

Finally, Charles decided to speak directly.

"I know this sounds a bit bad, but when I was peeking into Yin Yin Lisha's brain, I was stimulated by certain emotions when she fell ill. I subconsciously deleted those emotions, but if there is only memory without emotion, then it would be exposed, so I also deleted the memory."

"You were stimulated?" Schiller immediately frowned, and Charles finally felt him becoming nervous.

"It's not very serious," Charles indicated it was fine and said, "It's just that those crazy emotions were running around, and some ran into my brain, but it's not enough to cause any serious impact on me. After all, this lady is just an ordinary person."

Schiller relaxed and signaled for Charles to continue.

"Those sad memories are gone, but there must be some memories to explain why she appeared here, so I changed the memory to her just having a not-so-serious uterine fibroid, and her husband accompanied her to have surgery."

"During the surgery, they discovered a concurrent tumor, but fortunately, it was benign and in the early stages, so they stayed in the hospital for about seven months and have now recovered."

"So Yin Yin Lisha now doesn't remember at all that she once lost a child. Then what about the traces of their previous treatment?"

"I have seen the resident doctor's memory. After Yin Yin Lisha came to the hospital for hospitalization, all examinations were done in the hospital, and the examination results were not taken home. All examination results were taken by the nurse to be destroyed, the information on the intranet was also deleted, and the drugs used and the operating table occupied were changed to someone else's name," Charles replied.

"What about the items they prepared for the child at home?"

"They have been preparing for pregnancy, and the uterine fibroid was also discovered during a pre-pregnancy checkup, so there will be items prepared for the child in advance at home. And I have modified the memories of everyone who knew about their pregnancy news and the reason for hospitalization. I checked it several times and didn't miss anything."

Although Schiller said this to Charles, he still sighed in his heart; this ability is too convenient.

"So the obstetrics and gynecology inpatient department just called me to say they are going to be discharged."

"Yes, during the treatment process, Yin Yin Lisha's emotions were unstable and she exhibited self-harm behavior. You treated her, and the effect was very significant. After the tumor surgery was completed, you also cooperated with her to apply for a quota for the Women's Federation's healing potion, so they were able to be discharged early."

"Very good, well made up," Schiller gave affirmation in time and said, "Combining truth and fiction, the plot is vivid; you are very talented."

Charles asked tentatively, "Do you think this is okay?"

"So far there are no big problems, but you'd better pray that things must develop in a good direction."

"Otherwise?"

"Otherwise, it will develop in a bad direction, and it will be bad to the end, one bad thing after another, until you can no longer clean up the mess."

"Even me?"

"Even you."
