I'm trapped in a cube

"Okay, now the voting is over, I will announce the voting results now."

"..."

"Three votes in favor of establishing a disease storage bank."

"Nine votes against."

After hearing such a result, the manager's light dimmed a lot, and he was obviously very disappointed.

"If there is no objection, the decision this time is - not to establish a disease storage bank."

"Thank you all for participating, and I hope you will have a happy healing."

The doctors exchanged greetings for a while, and then dispersed one after another. It seemed that this vote was not an important decision, and everyone was just making up the numbers.

Gradually, only Mo Ling, Xi and the manager were left on the grass. The manager's light ball was still very dim. He hunched over and stood lonely on the grass.

"You, voted in favor, right?" He suddenly asked Mo Ling and the others.

"Yes, how did you know?" Mo Ling asked back.

"Because they will not support me, they will not oppose the opinions of the Council of Elders. Establishing a disease storage bank is a very risky thing, and they don't have the courage."

The manager's tone was full of helplessness. Obviously, he had already anticipated the result of the vote.

"Can I ask you why you agree with me?" The manager asked the two.

"Because I have done such a thing before. I transformed the disease into another form and protected it..." Xi said embarrassedly. He could do something to protect the Red Spirit Flower, so of course he could understand the manager.

Xi told the manager what happened between him and the Red Spirit Flower, and said seriously: "If we can build a disease storage and save the diseases, maybe one day we can use them. Some diseases will become very useful antidotes when dealing with other diseases..."

Listening to Xi's reasons, the manager's light flashed a few times.

"You make a lot of sense. I have thought about this reason and discussed it with other doctors, but they told me this-"

"Doctors don't need any antidotes."

When he said this, the manager's voice fell again.

"The doctor does not need any antidote. Our healing ability can solve everything, but..."

The manager stood up straight and looked at the sky: "But other races need it. We can't just consider curing the disease, right? The patients left the Huasheng Islands, and we just ignored them? Let the plague rage outside, and we turned a blind eye?"

"Even if we can't help them, at least we can give them the antidote, so that they can save more patients on our behalf, right?"

Speaking of this, the manager was a little excited, and the light kept flashing.

After a long time, he gradually calmed down

"What about you? Why did you vote in favor?" The manager's light ball turned to Mo Ling and asked curiously.

"Because studying diseases is also a kind of treatment, the healing ability of doctors is based on 'knowing', right? Preserving the disease can better study it, better draw inferences from one example, and understand the cause of the disease faster when treating it, and exert the complete healing power."

Mo Ling answered from the perspective of human medicine. No matter how developed the medical treatment is, if you want to better treat patients, you can't escape "medical experience".

For a doctor, it will be more handy to treat the diseases he has treated. For the entire doctor group, a doctor's healing experience can make the entire group move forward, and this is the same for the doctor race.

Preserving the disease is to pass on the experience to future generations. In Mo Ling's view, this is a very meaningful thing.

The manager was very pleased to hear Mo Ling's answer.

"I originally thought that no one would understand me... I didn't expect that there are two like-minded friends like you."

For doctors, everyone has different medical concepts, which can easily lead to conflicts. The Elders' Council has a lot of say. Even if a doctor has unique ideas, he dare not express them casually. It is a rare thing to get the understanding of other doctors.

The manager stood there, thinking for a long time, and finally told Mo Ling and Xi his decision:

"Since no one helps me, I will build a disease storage bank by myself. I can manage the entire Senluo Island, and I can definitely manage the disease storage bank!"

After the manager finished speaking, the warm sunlight suddenly cracked a crack, the green grass gradually disappeared, the manager's body became more and more blurred, and the light gradually solidified.

"What happened?"

"His consciousness left again, but not far away." Xi asked: "Senior, do you want to follow?"

"Follow!"

Hearing this, Xi tightly grasped Mo Ling's hand, and the surrounding scene changed again...

This time, they returned to the matrix forest, and the increasingly blurred manager's body became clear again.

He was standing in front of a matrix tree at this time, looking at the trunk quietly, as if thinking about something.

As if he noticed the arrival, the manager turned around and looked at Mo Ling and Xi.

"Long time no see, you are here..."

The manager's voice was tired, as if he had not rested for a long time.

His left hand seemed a little strange, with strange colors on the fingertips, his fingers were twisted, his arm was covered with blue algae, and there were several glittering scales growing at his elbow, like diamonds.

After seeing the two of them, the manager reluctantly put his left hand behind his back, but his guilty look had betrayed him.

"You used yourself as a carrier?" Xi asked loudly.

"Yes." The manager replied: "Senluo Island is full of protected species. I can't let them get infected, I can only infect myself..."

"Don't worry, these are harmless pathogens, rainbow virus, spiral cane disease, cyanobacteria, flash scale fungus... Even if something happens, I can cure myself, and it will be fine."

The manager slowly stretched out his left hand and showed it to the two people.

However, facing the manager's explanation, Xi was still very angry: "Is this the disease depository you are talking about? You are putting yourself in danger! Have you forgotten what the elders taught us?"

"No matter what, cure must be based on your own safety! Only by ensuring safety can you better treat patients. Cherish your own life! Be alert to all possible dangers! Pay attention to any seemingly harmless disease!"

Xi cursed angrily. He seemed to have forgotten that everything in front of him was just an illusion created by the healing space, and he was extremely angry at the manager's behavior.

Because Nozomi had done the same thing, infecting himself with parasitic plants, he understood the dangers.

Listening to Xi's scolding, the manager was very calm. After Xi finished pouring out the anger in his heart, the manager slowly spoke:

"After the last vote, I returned to Senluo Island and thought about it for a long time. I still couldn't understand why the elders opposed this matter. The establishment of a disease depository is obviously a very meaningful thing. Why did they do it? What about objections?”

"But later, I thought about it clearly... They were not actually opposed to establishing a disease bank, but they were opposed to putting us in danger."

"The elders protected us so well that we forgot that the battle against disease should be full of danger..."
