We have been robbed of our lives.
Xie Qingcheng was the last to follow the firefighters down the rope ladder.
When he went down, the fire had already begun to approach in their direction, and the rolling smoke was so thick that people could hardly open their eyes. It was hard to get his feet on the ground, and the rescuers ran over to check his injuries.
Xie Qingcheng saw Xie Xue amongst the crowd, several medics were surrounding her, he rushed over, "How is she?"
"You are ......"
"I'm her brother."
"Ohhhhhhhh, don't worry, she's fine, her vitals are stable and she'll wake up after the medicine wears off."
Xie Qingcheng is now relieved.
The paramedic looked the tall, shirtless man up and down, food for thought, though not at the right time, but a man this handsome could work more numbly with a couple more looks.
But Xie Qingcheng hadn't realized how provocative he looked with his slim shoulders and long, narrow waistline that sank deep into his silver buckle belt; he was a cold, manly man who usually didn't care much about his appearance or the eyes of the onlookers.
The paramedic was looking at him, but after looking at Xie Xue, all he could do was face Cheng Kang Hospital, which was still in flames.
Xie Qingcheng looked up at the flaming rooftop with mixed feelings. As far as the eye could see, the patients who had not yet been rescued could be seen screaming in panic on the windowsill, slapping their hands against the barred windows.
"Help!!!"
"Help us! The fire! The fire is coming!!!"
"I don't want to die yet...save me! save save you save me!!!"
Those railings were originally set up to prevent patients from jumping out of the window to escape, but now it has become the biggest stumbling block to emergency rescue, the original can take a rope ladder to quickly rescue from the window of the way was cut off, the only way is to risk their lives to rush in from room to room to open the locks to save people.
The wailing was like that of a ghost, and the whole Cheng Kang Mental Hospital had become a hell on earth, just as Jiang Lanpei had cursed it to be.
The ward closest to the cloth room, there is an old man has been crying, but he shouted his parents, the old man dementia, and often crazy, the children dislike, he sent him here.
Perhaps he also knew, dimly in his heart, that they would be happy if he died.
Only the already ancient parents were deeply in love with him, and he wailed and howled like a child before he died, shouting uncontrollably for his mom and dad. ......
The firefighters tried to force the window, but it was too late, the old man's room was too close to the fire, and he was engulfed in flames as everyone watched, one hand still maintaining the rigid position of trying to poke out of the iron cage ......
No one knows whether he was, in his last moments, an old man abandoned because of his illness, or a child pining for his parents.
The fireman's lip trembled as he turned back toward the crowd and yelled, "Where are the keys? Did any of you have your keys with you when you escaped?"
"No, no ...... who remembers ......"
"It's hanging in the director's office on the third floor!"
There was another deafening explosion, and windowpanes popped out along with splintered wood slag.
One of the rescued caretakers stood up and said, "Comrade, you should not go back in there! It's too dangerous!!!"
"Yeah ...... it's too late ...... there's no way to save ......"
Someone even whispered, "Those are seriously ill ...... the higher the floor the sicker they are, there's no point in saving them ......"
There was chaos all around.
Xie Qingcheng suddenly saw a lone figure standing at the chaos, looking up at the burning building for a moment, then circling deeper into the unnoticed trees toward the north gate.
Xie Qingcheng was taken aback--
He Yu?
"Excuse me, borrow a mask."
Xie Qingcheng said, judging the fire, grabbed two protective masks and ran in the direction of He Yu.
"Hey! Comrade!" The paramedic snapped back to her senses, fuck, you can't be this capricious even if you're a handsome man! She yelled, "What are you doing! Don't go back into the fire!!!"
But Xie Qingcheng didn't care about her at all, staring at He Yu's back like a cheetah and chasing after him.
How could he not expect the man to return to the fire again-what was he going to do?
He Yu did not go to the north door where the firefighters gathered, he grabbed a rope ladder that had not yet been removed, and went straight up to the rooftop where he had just gotten away. Xie Qingcheng followed him up, others want to follow has been too late, the tongue of the fire has burned over, the bottom half of the rope instantly burned to ashes.
He Yu did a flip over the rooftop railing, and he glanced down at the water tower, where all that was left burning was a charred, curled-up mass of a human body, the corpse of Jiang Lanpei.
He opened the door with a bang, looked at the fire, and then ran for the director's office.
Xie Qingcheng thought he was a madman, and of course he was a madman in the first place. He grabbed He Yu's arm when he opened the fireproof iron door and reprimanded him very sternly: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Hurry up and follow me down to the north door! The fire is not too big now, it's still not too late."
He Yu stared at his face as if he didn't recognize him, "What are you doing up here?"
Xie Qingcheng didn't bother to talk to him, his eyes sharp, "You're fucking coming down with me!"
"No way. This time is different. This time I'm going to save someone."
"You--"
"They're my kind, and I'm the only one who can save them, and I'm the only one who's in time to get them all out - you heard what those people down there said. That old man was burned alive right in front of their eyes, and there are more waiting to get killed, but they say, forget it."
The look in He Yu's eyes was almost ghastly.
He said softly, "-Mental illness isn't worth saving, and when it comes to things like this, they're all given up-all deserved to die."
He stared into Xie Qingcheng's eyes, a piercing cold smile slowly blooming at the corner of his mouth, "Is that what you think too? Dr. Xie?"
"That's because it's really too late ...... you be sensible! You can't open doors one by one." Xie Qingcheng's voice was muffled, "There's no time."
He Yu did not speak any more, he was so strong that he broke away from Xie Qingcheng's hand at once and ran in the direction of the office.
Luckily, the office area and the largest fire area separated by a large piece of restroom, when the building cut corners with all the tiles and even a wooden frame did not even bother to embed, and now this area has become the slowest spread of the flames of the place.
He Yu found a large series of dinky keypads around the house and headed for the part of the third floor ward where the fire hadn't yet reached.
"Help ......"
"Help us!!!"
"I don't want to die ...... I don't want to die yet!!!"
"Oooooooh, is it the devil's fire coming? It's the devil's fire!!!"
The lights in the walkway have long since gone out, and there is as much crying as there is on either side of the walkway, but in more rooms, there won't even be crying anymore ......
The keypad is labeled with the number of the door, and He Yu takes the nearest one and starts to open the door.
Xie Qingcheng chased over when he had already opened the first door, inside ran out a cloaked woman, ah ah ah ah screaming chaotically, Xie Qingcheng look at the heart cold - this is not controlled at all.
An ordinary person would lose his mind in such a situation, let alone these patients.
The woman screamed, and without thinking, she was about to run in the direction of the fire. Xie Qingcheng was about to stop her, but He Yu reached out and yanked her back--
"Don't go in that direction!"
"She won't listen to you-"
"Fire! There's fire ahhhhhhhh!!!"
In the midst of the chaos, Xie Qingcheng suddenly saw a flash of cold light!
Surprisingly, He Yu held a blade that he had just brought along with him from the office and wiped it across his palm.
Blood seeped out of the wound at once, Xie Qingcheng did not know why he did this for a moment, but there seemed to be a long ago data memory in his mind that was already stirring, he had not yet read it, but his instincts had already sent chills down his spine.
The next moment, his eyes widened as he saw He Yu unhook one of the rings from the keypad and stain it with his own blood as well, and he said softly, but imperiously, to the madwoman, "Take this set of keys and go to the doors, and as soon as one door is opened, distribute the other keys to the people inside, and order them to go and open more doors. Be quick. The faster you go, the more patients you can save. Go quickly."
Something horrible happened; the woman who had been hysterical before, at that moment as if she had suddenly been given some kind of tranquilizer, the moment she smelled He Yu's blood, her eyes became very calm-
It was as if He Yu's blood, through the sense of smell, had provoked some kind of reflexive response within her cranium, causing her to be at the mercy of his emotions as well.
The woman took the keychain and immediately ran toward the other iron gates.
The entire order was very brief, but Xie Qingcheng watched it with chills all over his body, even to his fingertips-
Case #4 He Yu, his adult disease psychic ability is ......
The "blood compulsion" that has been labeled as doubtful in the data measurement archives!
There is a lack of clinical data on Psycho Ai Bola, and the only way to speculate on the condition is to use the three previous cases, as well as a series of numerical simulations. What can be ascertained is that people suffering from this mental illness, in addition to the basic characteristics of each patient, each carries a disease ability.
Simply put, the disease is mutated in the individual, and each person's genes are different, which will allow this disease mutation to differentiate in different directions, and this mutation tends to develop along with the patient's age, becoming fully apparent and stabilizing in adulthood.
Case #1, at that time, produced the disease psychic ability - Smell and Sniff.
The disease altered her olfactory nerves, her nose became unusually sensitive, in general, the olfactory nerves of a dog occupy four times the area of a human being, No. 1, after the mutation of the disease, her sense of smell reached more than eight times that of an ordinary human being, and any slightest scent in the air was stimulating her olfactory nerves, tormenting her into more and more insanity.
#2, #3, both exhibited their unique disease powers before their deaths.
As for No. 4 He Yu, before Xie Qingcheng's departure, he had not shown any signs of alienation.
Xie Qingcheng originally thought that perhaps individual variation in the spirit Ai Bola was not absolute, and that He Yu might be an exception.
But I didn't realize that he was the one that the data simulation projections had counted as the most frightening mutation possible-
Blood Compulsion.
The so-called blood compulsion is that under certain conditions, He Yu's blood can induce a paralyzing effect on a specific group of people, such as psychiatric patients. It is like serotonin, which can calm the patient's emotions immediately, and at the same time, it is like a drug, which stimulates the reward mechanism in the patient's brain, letting the patient have an illusion that "as long as he listens to his words, he will be able to get more," which triggers the patient's control by He Yu's words, as if he has been "compelled" to do something. This triggered the effect that the patient was controlled by He Yu's words, as if he had been "bewitched".
At that time, the laboratory projected only a guess, data simulation "blood parasites" this direction of mutation, some researchers even do not believe.
But now--
Doors, opened one by one by the sick.
It was incredibly fast, and as soon as one was opened to save one, there was one more to help open the door, and the keys were soon divided up, and the frantic patients, fueled by the blood parasites, were literally turned into trained soldiers.
He Yu walked through it with a cold look, like a spiritual leader controlling those patients, he went to the far end of the corridor, where the only escape was in the direction of the north exit, the firemen's voices were already hovering at the entrance of the building, they would soon be coming up to the third floor.
But in the meantime, the flames at the end of the building had rolled closer, hissing toward them like roaring fire dragons, wrapped in rolling, choking smoke, as if they were trying to snuff them out of this morose tunnel with suffocating poisonous fumes and destructive high heat.
There is no water here to wet a cloth to cover your mouth and nose, so you have to step up the pace.
He Yu stood in front of the fire door, turned his face slightly sideways, and gave instructions to all the patients, "Get as low as you can, in my direction, and go down to the fire. Quickly."
The patients, like robots fed with instructions, swarmed forward and ran toward the safe passage with amazing speed and order, just like the manipulated zombies in sci-fi movies ......
When the last patient ran down, the fire was already very close, and the smoke concentration was getting higher and higher, almost to the point where one had to lie on the ground to breathe. He Yu looked at Xie Qingcheng, who approached him with a rather ugly look on his face, and didn't say anything, but just turned his body sideways to let Xie Qingcheng come in as well.
With a heavy thud, the safe passage firestop door slammed shut behind them, temporarily isolating the approaching fire dragon.
Icy almond eyes gazed into shocked peach blossom eyes in the darkness, "Xie Qingcheng. you don't tell anyone."
Xie Qingcheng's face was green as a sheet, but he finally handed He Yu a gas mask in his hand without a word.
"Take it. Go away."
When the fire slammed into the fire door, He Yu and Xie Qingcheng ran down with the rescued patients. ......
"Brother!!! Brother !!!!!"
Xie Qingcheng and He Yu were met by firefighters, and when the last two ran out, they were greeted by two howls that almost broke the sound of their voices. As soon as Xie Qingcheng took off his mask, he saw Xie Xue, who had already awakened, rushing towards him with tears on her face, so much so that she dropped the shoes that the firefighters had found for her.
"Brother ah ah ah ah ah ...... Big Brother! Big brother! Are you trying to scare me to death? Are you trying to scare me to death! I thought even you didn't want me! Even you are going to leave me behind!!!! Brother wooooooooooooooooooo ......"
She jumped into Xie Qingcheng's arms at once, and held Xie Qingcheng so tightly that she almost strangled his waist, and the explosions and screams around her continued, and some of them really could not be saved ...... She was so scared that it seemed as if all the blood in her body had been drained out of her, and only a Thin painted skin remained on earth, only when she tightly embraced her brother's tall body, she came up for air and cried while breathing in the smell of Xie Qingcheng's body, she seemed to have a heartbeat again, and the color of the blood was poured back into her body again.
Teardrops flowed down in bunches, dirtying her cat-like face, her mouth open and unimaginative crying, her mouth issued a slurred yell: "You can not be the same as mom and dad do not want me! You can't be like mom and dad don't want me ah big brother! I'm so scared ...... I'm really scared ...... you hug me, you hug me!!!"
"It's okay. It's okay."
Xie Qingcheng is rarely receptive to such strong feelings. He is a very family-oriented person, but his love for his family is often introverted, even in the form of accusations.
But this moment he was also a little overwhelmed, he hugged his sister who was shivering and draped in a long coat, and kissed her disheveled bird's nest head down, and the circles around his eyes were also a little red.
"It's okay, Xie Xue."
Xie Xue howled in Xie Qingcheng's arms for a while, and then saw He Yu.
Her newly calmed mood broke down again, and she jumped into He Yu's arms again in tears-no, to be precise, she should have dragged He Yu over to her, and encircled him with her big brother, so that He Yu was forced to stay close to Xie Qingcheng as well.
He Yu's handsome face showed some embarrassment, he had never hugged a man that close before, especially if that man was Xie Qingcheng, he felt very uncomfortable - looking at Xie Qingcheng's expression, he seemed to mean the same thing.
But both of them didn't move due to Xie Xue's face and emotions, letting her forcefully make the three of them loop around, circling the reunion that belonged to them in the midst of all the chaos.
.
"Help! Help! Comrade! There's someone here! I'm here!!!"
Cheng Kang hospital elevator door, there is a man with white hair shouting in panic, he belongs to the oldest batch of Cheng Kang leadership, a while ago and Liang Jicheng went to play polo broke his leg, and now can only travel in a wheelchair. If it weren't for some temporary work at the organization that needed to be handled by him, he wouldn't have come back today.
The man was fighting in his wheelchair, his □□□ was all wet, urine was running down his pants, he was experiencing for the first time how horrible it was to be too sick to take care of himself, the blaze was closing in on his direction, and even though he knew he couldn't take the elevator, and even though the elevator was broken, he was still frantically pressing that button involuntarily.
"Quick! Quick...someone, help...I have money...someone help me...I have a lot of money!"
The muscles in his cheeks were twitching and spasming violently because of his nervousness.
Suddenly--
As if the heavens had heard his prayers, a firefighting-looking man in a gas mask ran up from the oozy security tunnel and saw him paralyzed in his wheelchair.
The man is like a god in heaven: "Comrade! Help me! Help me!!!"
His nostrils fluttered with excitement, fine beads of sweat hung on the pale flesh of his nose, and his pupils contracted with excitement, reflecting the other man's figure as he approached him, carrying his firefighting equipment.
Then he froze. Eyes snapped shut!
The man in the fire suit flashed a morose sneer through his eyepatch, and immediately turned the device in his hand on ...... That wasn t a fire extinguishing device! That is ......
Gasoline!!!
"You, you're--!"
"Cheng Kang This mess can't be peddled anymore, I was sent by them to 'clean up'." A dull male voice came from under the mask, "All that money of yours, save it for down there and spend it slowly."
"No!!!"
Rumble!
The gasoline and the lighter were thrown at the man's face, which was completely distorted by the extreme panic, and the face ended up looking like the crooked face in Monk's Scream, swallowed up by the fire rolls and twists. ......
