Collapse, how did I become the Devil King of Destruction while playing a game?

"What's also strange is that the patient himself revealed the nature of this infectious disease," the old doctor added.

"What do you mean?" Su was confused for a moment.

"That's right. The patient called the ambulance himself, saying he had a very serious infectious disease, and the doctor who was dispatched did indeed find that the patient had an infectious disease he had never seen before."

"But how do patients know they have an infectious disease?"

Su was even more bewildered.

The old doctor shook his head with a strange and helpless expression.

"The patient said he discovered he was sick in his dream, fainted when the ambulance arrived, and just woke up."

Su recognized every word the old doctor said, but he couldn't understand the meaning of it all when put together. Did the patient know he had an infectious disease just from a dream? What's even more absurd is that he wasn't wrong?

Just as Su was desperately trying to figure out what this strange thing and bizarre infectious disease was, the communicator on her protective suit suddenly made a contact.

New cases of infection have emerged.

The voice coming through the communication was filled with strangeness and doubt.

"The patient also called the ambulance himself, and said he learned he had an infectious disease while having a nightmare. The ambulance we dispatched... also confirmed the facts."

"......"*2

Sue and the old doctor looked at each other, both of them lost in a brainstorming session.

What kind of bizarre infectious disease is this? It can make people have nightmares before they know they have an infectious disease?

Not only Su and others, but all the doctors in the hospital who knew about this peculiar infectious disease were brainstorming. This infectious disease was completely subverting modern medicine.

But the brainstorming wasn't over yet; the doctors still needed to rethink how to cure patients infected with infectious diseases.

Doctors are also debating this point, since this new and special infectious disease has characteristics of completely different kinds of infectious diseases. Although they are urgently analyzing and investigating the cause of the disease, it is not a simple matter. Therefore, just maintaining the stability of the patient's physical condition has almost exhausted the brain cells of many doctors.

From the discovery of the first case of infectious disease in the morning until noon, doctors did not determine the initial treatment plan. However, even the most optimistic doctors dared not think about a complete cure.

In fact, the doctors were not originally planning to try any treatment options. No one dared to make the decision before the root cause of the infectious disease was clearly investigated.

However, this was the first suggestion made by a patient who was infected with a special infectious disease.

From morning to noon, the patient was sometimes asleep and sometimes awake.

Each time he woke up, he was in tears and his face was filled with fear and panic. When Su and the other doctors asked him why, he said that he had a very, very terrible nightmare, but he couldn't explain what the dream was about.

During his last moment of lucidity, the patient made a request to the doctors, who, he also happened to discover, were somewhat helpless in the face of this unusual infectious disease that they had never seen before.

"Go ahead and experiment on me, I don't know when I'll wake up again." The patient seemed to have come to terms with it. This time, after waking up, he felt no fear or apprehension, only calmness.

"Young man, don't worry, we..." the old doctor wanted to say something.

The patient lying in the hospital bed shook his head.

"The dream I had was so real. I saw so many people helpless against this infectious disease, and then more and more people got infected, and many people died."

"That was just a dream..."

Su looked at the patient and said.

"But I don't want my dream to come true," the patient said firmly, looking at Su.

"Hurry, while I'm still alive, we must try every possible way to cure this infectious disease."

The ward fell into dead silence.

The doctors had no choice but to immediately contact the hospital director.

Due to the emergence of a new infectious disease, the hospital director reported the situation to higher authorities, who also attached great importance to this new infectious disease. Ultimately, they approved the patient's request.

The patient's family initially disagreed, but the patient quickly spoke with his family.

The patient smiled and said to his family.

"If it succeeds, our family genealogy can have its own page. What are we waiting for?"

The initial treatment plan was eventually initiated, though it could also be described as an experiment. Top doctors from all over the country rushed to the First People's Hospital of Canghai Market.

Su was not involved in the treatment plan. Although he was a good doctor, he was still far inferior to those top doctors.

However, he didn't stay idle; instead, he visited other patients with the same illness at the hospital.

The number of patients suffering from the new infectious disease has reached 12. All of them are similar to the first patient. They had nightmares about having the infectious disease, and when they woke up, they found that they were really sick. So they all ended up in the intensive care unit of the hospital.

However, compared to the calm and open-mindedness of the first patient, the other patients were not so friendly. Some patients were wailing wildly, clinging to the doctor's hand with a frenzied expression, shouting that they did not want to die.

Upon seeing this, Sue and the other doctors quickly administered a sedative to the patient, thus preventing him from engaging in erratic behavior.

After working for a while, Su and a middle-aged doctor left the intensive care unit, where a nurse brought them lunch boxes.

The middle-aged doctor was very troubled by the "headache." He was somewhat amazed at how different people could be. The patient in another intensive care unit said he was willing to undergo experiments at will, while the patient in this intensive care unit was like a madman.

Having worked as a doctor for a long time, I've always seen all sorts of medical disputes and all sorts of bizarre patients and their families.

"The nightmares those patients described all seemed very similar," Su mused as she ate her boxed lunch.

"You believe in those dreams too?" The middle-aged doctor took a bite of his boxed lunch, somewhat surprised but unconvinced. "Don't believe in that stuff. Finding ways to treat patients is the right path."

He didn't think the nightmares were real, because although the nightmares the patients described were similar, they all involved infectious diseases. The middle-aged doctor naturally thought that they were just complications caused by infectious diseases, and many diseases can also cause nightmares.

Seeing the middle-aged doctor's disbelieving expression, Su didn't say anything more. After chatting with him casually for a few minutes, Su went to check on the other patients.

After finishing lunch, Su, who was about to visit other wards, suddenly realized something.

"A nightmare...?"

In fact, Su had the same dream last night, and he remembered it in much more detail. In the dream, he also encountered a similar infectious disease, but it was even stranger and more bizarre. The patients would experience strange symptoms and die at some point.

Su couldn't remember exactly what the symptoms were or when he would die. All he remembered was that the infectious disease was incurable, uncontrollable, and swept across the world in a very short time, killing countless people.

Following the infectious disease, there were many more terrifying disasters, as if the earth was about to wipe out humanity.

Unfortunately, Su doesn't remember anything that happened after that.

But the nightmare did cause Su a great deal of emotional turmoil, though Su managed to control it very well.

Upon discovering the infectious disease, Su immediately checked himself, but he found no signs of any infectious disease on his body. Even though he wanted to say something, he didn't know how to say it.

What do you mean by dreaming about a terrifying infectious disease? New infectious diseases do exist in reality, but they don't seem to be as incurable or uncontrollable as the infectious diseases in nightmares.

Although Sue and the other doctors at the hospital knew nothing about infectious diseases and found the situation challenging, they did their utmost to control the infection and stabilize the patient's condition.

While pondering, Su went to the intensive care unit of the other patients.

The condition of all 12 patients has stabilized; it has not worsened, but it has not improved either. The patients are sometimes asleep and sometimes awake.

Even after 10 p.m., the first patient's condition had not improved, but the initial treatment seemed to have some effect. Many top doctors and experts who rushed to Canghai City were not taking it lightly, but they were also somewhat relieved. As long as it was effective, that was good, but further observation was still needed.

With so many experts and doctors here, Su, who had some free time in the afternoon, also took the opportunity to learn from them.

At this time, Su also received a notification that he could temporarily leave work.

Su left the hospital with a slight reluctance and returned home.

Chapter 320 Morning (8)

At 7 a.m., the petite pink-haired girl slowly awoke in her sister's arms. She slightly opened her eyes, her large, watery blue eyes gazing at her sister's sleeping face.

Perhaps it was because the girl's gaze was too intense, but the girl's older sister also slowly opened her purple eyes.

The two sisters, one big and one small, locked eyes.

"What's wrong?" Sakura blinked and looked down at her younger sister, Rin.

"Sister looks so beautiful when she's sleeping," Ling said happily with a smile.

Sakura smiled and gently rubbed her younger sister's lips.

"It's time to get up. It's already past 6 o'clock," Sakura said, glancing at her phone.

Ling's expression visibly stiffened, because 7 o'clock was exactly the time for Ling to go to school.

"I won't be late, will I..." Ling said tremblingly.

“If you’re still lying here, you’ll definitely be late,” Sakura chuckled.

"Sister is bad!" Ling pouted and ran out of the room quickly.

Sakura slowly got up, took off her pajamas, put on casual clothes, and walked into the living room. She saw that Rin had already finished washing up and was eating bread while packing her schoolbag.

"Hurry up, sister!" Rin was a little anxious when she saw Sakura with her messy hair and relaxed expression.

However, when she finished packing her schoolbag, she found that Sakura, who had been looking relaxed just moments before, had already washed up, put on her shoes, and was ready to take Rin to school first.

Yes, Sakura's long pink hair still looked messy.

"Sister, you're so funny!" Rin seemed to have calmed down and couldn't help but laugh at Sakura's disheveled appearance.

"Oh, keep laughing," Sakura shrugged nonchalantly.

Ling then realized that she still had to go to school.

"Hurry up!" She quickly grabbed her sister's hand and ran out of the rented room where the two sisters lived.

As Sakura and Rin went downstairs together, the two sisters saw some casually dressed tenants rushing out of their apartments.

The two sisters arrived downstairs. Sakura rode her electric scooter with Rin on the back, twisted the throttle, and sped onto the street, heading towards the middle school Rin attended.

On the way, Sakura also saw many parents riding electric bikes with children the same age as Rin, all of whom were obviously going to be late.

However, just as Sakura stopped in front of a middle school, she and her sister Suzu saw an electric scooter speed up to the school gate and park in the parking space next to them.

"Huh?" Ling was stunned when she saw the person who had parked the electric bike next to her.

"teacher?"

The word "teacher" almost made Sakura burst out laughing, because it wasn't just Rin and the other students their age who were going to be late, but also their teacher.

Yes, it's a teacher.

The young female teacher also froze for a moment, but she quickly realized that this was not the time to be embarrassed.

"You're going to be late! Hurry up and get ready for class!" The female teacher said awkwardly to the bell as she hurried towards the school. The first class of the morning happened to be hers.

"Goodbye, sister!" Ling didn't care about anything else and quickly ran into the school with her schoolbag on her back.

"How come there are teachers and students who are late together?" Sakura couldn't help but chuckle.

But then, a young man ran past Sakura. Sakura happened to recognize him; he was also one of Rin's teachers and apparently Rin's homeroom teacher.

“It seems there’s more than one,” Sakura said with a smile. The young man glanced back at Sakura, then covered his face and ran quickly into the school.

That's really quite amazing.

Sakura thought of it.

However, at this moment, a strange emotion arose in Sakura's heart, like excitement, like a daze, and like disbelief.

"?" Sakura was puzzled. Where did this strange emotion come from?

However, Sakura checked the time and realized it was about time; she should go back and prepare for work.

Sakura rode her electric scooter back to her rented cottage.

The rental apartment wasn't big, but it had two small bedrooms, just enough for Sakura and Rin to live in together.

After returning to her rented apartment, Sakura started making lunch boxes for the day.

After making the bento, Sakura went into her room and lay comfortably on the bed.

She has been in Canghai City for many years. At first, she was curious and uneasy, unfamiliar with the place and people, and her communication with the language was also stumbling. But in the end, Ying successfully adapted to life in Canghai City.

What kept her going was her younger sister, Ling, who had come to Canghai City with her. The two sisters came to Canghai City together, supported each other, and eventually settled down there.

After reflecting on her and her sister's journey over the years, Sakura quickly got up, as she was about to get ready for work.

But as she stood up, she felt a strange emotion again, a deep sense of envy and jealousy.

This left Sakura somewhat bewildered.

Am I envying and being jealous of myself? What the heck?

Sakura sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her messy pink hair.

"Strange," she thought, picking up a comb and brushing her hair, puzzled.

Suddenly, however, she saw an incredibly strange scene in the mirror: her clothes had transformed into a very cool and stylish outfit, with a katana at her waist, and two very long donkey ears? Or rabbit ears?

Fox ears, fox ears, fox ears, fox ears, fox ears, fox ears.
