Chapter 2354: Psychic Assault (Part 18)
Professor X swayed, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself appearing in a bright space.
Wait, which corridor did Xilei say not to go to just now?
A strong smell of blood drifted through the air, and painful groans echoed in his ears. After the discomfort brought by the light dissipated, Professor X found that he had entered a hell on earth. Everything around him was blood red, full of wounded people.
"What are you still standing there for? Go find a tourniquet!!!" A roar came from his ear. Professor X paused for a few seconds before realizing that this was talking to him.
"What? I..."
"Are you planning to stand by and watch? Go get a tourniquet from the side! Hurry!"
Professor X subconsciously searched for brain waves, and then found that all kinds of chaotic thoughts rushed into his mind.
【It hurts! Help...】, 【Emergency hemostasis! Bandage immediately, move fast...】, 【Heart rate! Pay attention to heart rate!】, 【Am I going to die...】, 【Hurts, hurts, hurts...】, 【Finished, finished...】
This large pile of disordered emotions rushed into Professor X's mind, leaving him stunned in place for a long time, until he was pushed and then came back to his senses.
"Hurry up and help fix that patient. Acute cerebral hemorrhage is making him shake himself off the bed..."
Professor X turned his head, but the nurse who spoke to him just now had already rushed over. Hearing the chaos coming from behind the screen, Professor X ran over in a hurry and found a person twitching uncontrollably on the bed.
He read this person's brain waves and found that he was thinking of nothing, knowing that this twitching was an instinctive reaction of the limbs, which should be caused by massive cerebral hemorrhage.
Now there were only two female nurses here, obviously not the kind of female nurses in the psychiatry department. The two were in a hurry and couldn't hold the patient down, so Professor X had to roll up his sleeves and help them fix the patient on the bed.
The doctor soon came over to fix the monitoring equipment. Professor X shouted: "I am a psychiatrist, it's useless for you to catch me!"
"As long as you are a doctor, it's fine. A chain car accident with 6 dead and 12 injured, and a construction site fall accident that caused 9 people to be seriously injured. We are the nearest hospital. All of them must be sent to the ward tonight, hurry up!"
"Hello, hello, this is the emergency room, the patient's vital signs are stable, limbs occasionally twitch, suspected of cerebral hemorrhage..."
Professor X looked down at the frantically twitching patient. This is called occasional twitching of limbs?
He pressed the other half of the patient's body while looking inside. He thought the outside was miserable enough, but he didn't expect the inside to be even heavier. It seemed that the 9 people who fell were all lying in the half of the ward inside.
One of them was pierced through the body by a steel bar, two had stopped breathing, and the remaining few seemed to have fallen on their companions, which was a bit better, but some things that fell from the head might have hit them, causing flesh and blood to blur.
Smelling this rich bloody smell, Professor X couldn't breathe. He took a few deep breaths and forcibly closed his mind-reading system, because he was afraid that if he read any more, he would run away in a panic.
At this time, Professor X was still too young. He hadn't been a battlefield doctor and basically hadn't seen any deaths. The most serious injury he had seen was when someone broke a rib during football training in college. Suddenly entering such a hell-like scene, he was floating.
"Come over quickly, the orthopedics department has arrived, prepare to saw the steel bar!"
"Wait, don't push to intensive care?!"
"The two that were just pushed in are stitching limbs, there is no place! Our hospital is not for this, come and help quickly!"
Professor X followed this batch of doctors and nurses to saw the steel bar in a panic. Honestly, this scene was simply unwatchable. The orthopedics doctor carried a saw and a sledgehammer, and other doctors pressed the patient on the ground. It was hard to say whether this was saving people or torture.
The impact of the scene was too strong, causing Professor X to not think of making the patient faint for a while.
By the time he sawed halfway, he reacted. Even if he really couldn't help much, at least he could help the patient reduce some pain, so he endured the interference and opened his psychic ability to shield the patient from pain.
But as soon as the patient stopped screaming, the doctors and nurses were all panicked. The nurses and doctors all went to check the ECG and blood pressure monitoring. Only then did Professor X remember that this was not an ordinary ward. Being able to make a sound meant the situation was still okay. If there was really no movement, it was probably not far from death.
Professor X could only manipulate the patient to scream twice, so that this emergency surgery could continue.
"Don't move!!!!" A scream came from not far away. The nurse ran over in a hurry. Professor X turned his head and saw a patient insisting on sitting up. The abdominal cavity hadn't been sutured yet, and the intestines were flowing out.
A few more nurses rushed up and pushed him out in a hurry, but a patient next to him grabbed a nurse's hem and pulled her down directly.
Professor X rushed up and helped the nurse up, only then did she not get rolled under the car. The patient kept waving his arms, crying and shouting: "I can't feel my legs, I can't feel my lower body, my lower body has no feeling."
"You hold on a little longer." The nurse shouted at him: "There will be a position in the neurosurgery operating room soon! Dr. Shi Difen is rushing back!"
But no matter what was said, the patient just wouldn't let go, kept shouting save me, save me, I don't want to be paralyzed or something.
Professor X especially wanted to say, open your eyes and look, paralysis is already the best result in this room, but he also knew that it was impossible for the patient to think about these at this time. Fear had engulfed them.
Human spirit is really too fragile. Professor X realized for the first time that this coverage also included himself, because he was resistant to accessing a person's spirit for the first time.
He knew he should use his superpower to soothe this patient, let him believe that he would get treatment soon, he wouldn't be paralyzed, he would live well.
But he knew that once he accessed it, he could hear nothing but despair and deeper despair. Listening to this kind of sound also made Professor X despair.
Because he couldn't guarantee that this patient really wouldn't be paralyzed, and couldn't even guarantee that he wouldn't die, because his lower body losing feeling might not be a lumbar spine problem, but a brain problem. Everything was unknown, and he couldn't guarantee anything.
"David... David!!!"
Professor X's roar spread along the psychic network. With a swish, a figure appeared outside the emergency room. Unsurprisingly, he was caught in immediately.
Professor X saw David's face was a bit pale, but he couldn't care about it. He grabbed David's arm and pulled him to the hospital bed and said: "Think of a way, there are many people here who are very painful."
"I'm very sorry, but I can't use my ability now." David took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and said: "My spirit has a problem, they are now... I don't know, I don't know what happened in that castle, everything is a mess."
Professor X recalled the matter of David's unstable mental state that Xilei said. After thinking about it, he felt that the consequences of this ticking time bomb exploding were more serious, but who else could he call now?
After that, a few interns were caught in one after another, but there were still not enough people. Professor X thought, at such a time when life is at stake, why are those people still sitting in the library? Is saving the dying and healing the wounded not the doctor's duty?
Professor X was a bit angry, so he directly gave psychological suggestions to the nearest batch of interns, letting them all walk towards this side when passing through this corridor, and all come to the emergency room to help.
After a night of busyness, including those received later, a total of dozens of patients who were injured beyond recognition were finally sent to their respective wards. Professor X, covered in blood, sat at the entrance of the hospital lobby and sighed deeply.
As a result, before lunch, Xilei called him back with a phone call. Professor X saw Xilei's face and knew it was bad.
"Did I remind you not to walk in that corridor?"
"I got lost." Professor X tried to defend himself.
"But I don't believe that 17 interns would all get lost in that corridor in one night. Their teaching teachers must have reminded them."
"I gave them suggestions because the emergency room was very short of people. We need more people to save lives!"
Xilei sighed for a long time and threw a thick stack of records on the desktop and said: "All the interns you moved over hung up the psychiatry number this morning. They were scared."
Professor X also felt cold hands and feet after the fact.
This is a completely different experience from doing anatomy in the classroom. Human blood is warm, real, and has vitality. Human wailing is tragic, understandable, and completely empathetic. Suddenly being in the center of such a tragic major accident will cause indelible mental impact on people. Even if they understand the human structure in textbooks very clearly, at the moment of being in it, no one can look at all this rationally.
"Many times not letting interns do some things is to protect you." Xilei looked at Professor X's somewhat pale face and said: "Most of you are not prepared to help, but you should help yourselves more. We cannot consume our future."
"But we need to save our present." Although Professor X felt dizzy and nauseous, and his spirit was a bit trance, he still insisted: "We cannot stand by and watch. Everyone must do their part."
"Professor X, have you realized that the ability of every psychic is two-way." Xilei looked at Professor X and said: "When you feel, influence, and manipulate others, you are also affected by what is in their brains. This kind of influence is deeper than you think."
Professor X was stunned in place.
"Every environment has a collective consciousness. Ordinary people can only feel the atmosphere, while you can clearly read it, communicate with it, and even become one with it."
"The words you say are not what you say, but what the collective consciousness composed of everyone in this hospital and the society's requirements for its duties says."
Xilei walked closer and looked directly into Professor X's blue eyes and said: "No one can live as the society requires a discipline. As a psychiatrist, you must first allow people to be weak, and you must also allow yourself to be weak, realize that you are not omniscient and omnipotent, have weaknesses, and can escape."
Professor X clenched his fists.
"How do I escape?"
"Like me."
"What?"
"Delete this memory, sleep, everything will be fine."
"No, I don't..."
Professor X turned around, and then he felt a hand on his shoulder. When he turned back, what appeared in his field of vision was Xilei's fist the size of a sandbag.
"Bang!"
Looking at Professor X who fell to the ground, Xilei shook his hand and snorted coldly:
"Really thought you were Batman, I dare not do it?" ===== CHAPTER 2355 =====
"Do you really think you're Batman, and that I wouldn't dare make a move?"
