I'm trapped in a cube

"Important people? Who is it?" Li Luo asked impatiently.

But at this time, the young man kept it a secret: "Leave here first, the zero residential area is very dangerous, talk while walking, I will tell you on the way."

Listening to the young man's conditions, Li Luo hesitated for a while, but still agreed.

"Wait for me first."

Li Luo packed up the books he found on the ground one by one, tied them tightly with ropes, and brought them out of the door.

"Let's go."

"Why do you want to bring these books?" The young man asked puzzled.

Li Luo was stunned and replied: "I like reading."

...

In this way, the two walked to the entrance of the zero residential area. The young man was indeed familiar with the pipes here. After learning that Li Luo lived in the thirteenth residential area, he walked in the right direction without thinking.

Looking at the young man's reaction, Li Luo's doubts faded a little.

"Now you can tell me."

"Of course, you also saw it in your dream, right? My friend named 'Liu Quanli' is a doctor..."

...

During the period of the abyss invasion, doctors were very scarce.

There were casualties everywhere. Those strange abyssal species and relics always hurt people unconsciously, and there were also various abyssal diseases that were difficult to cure.

At that time, Dr. Liu was temporarily assigned to a hospital specializing in the treatment of abyssal diseases. There were many patients with abyssal diseases there. Some of them would become particularly dangerous. Ordinary doctors were helpless against them. Only medical personnel like Dr. Liu who had served in the army could take on this important task.

At first, Dr. Liu felt very lucky that he didn't have to go to the front line and only had to take care of the patients. But when he really arrived at this hospital, he realized that he was wrong.

"This is hell on earth."

Whether it was day or night, the wailing of patients echoed in the hospital.

Those wailings could no longer be heard from humans or other species.

Painful and desolate, many patients with abyssal diseases were abandoned by their families. Because they didn't know whether their abyssal diseases were contagious, most patients were forcibly isolated.

The disease and loneliness eroded these poor patients at the same time, making them farther and farther away from "humans" and gradually becoming a kind of "experimental subjects" to be studied.

All kinds of potentially effective drugs, surgeries, and even metaphysical therapies were used on these patients. The doctors were numb to this and turned a blind eye to the miserable conditions of those patients.

When Dr. Liu first came to this hospital, he also asked his colleagues.

"Don't we have any humanitarian care for these patients? Shouldn't we care about their feelings?"

His colleague looked at him with numb eyes and replied indifferently: "Only when they are alive can they talk about feelings. They are no longer alive..."

Listening to his colleagues, Dr. Liu sighed helplessly.

He understood that his colleagues were right. Those patients were no longer alive.

"They are just some kind of structures eroded by the abyss phenomenon. They are no longer human beings. Even if they are covered with human shells and have human thoughts, they are still not human beings. As human beings, they have long died..."

Before entering the hospital, the superiors told the doctors not to be compassionate, to save if they can, and not to feel burdened if they cannot.

When they first entered the hospital, most doctors were full of responsibility, but after watching patients die one by one, or become more and more twisted and inhuman, they gradually became numb.

Heavy medicine, folk prescriptions, metaphysical treatments... For these patients, they had to try all possible methods, and no longer followed any red tape when it came to curing diseases and saving lives.

After being almost burned to death by a patient suffering from "magma disease", Dr. Liu also made up his mind to be cruel.

It was at this time that his superior gave him an urgent task to take care of an extremely dangerous patient.

"What type of abyss disease is it?" Dr. Liu asked his superior.

"Not sure, it hasn't been confirmed yet."

"Still not clear?" Dr. Liu was a little surprised.

"Yes, the last doctor who took care of this patient used a scalpel to cut open his chest and gave her his heart... This is her information, take a look for yourself."

Hearing the description of his superior, Dr. Liu's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and his hair stood on end.

"Is it a thought-based abyss disease? Can it affect others?"

Doctor Liu made a direct judgment before checking the information.

The superior said nothing, just nodded and shook his head.

After a moment of silence, he pointed to the information in front of him: "Take a look for yourself, it's hard to say, the patient's situation is a bit special."

Doctor Liu picked up the information on the table with some trembling.

"Again, save if you can, don't feel burdened if you can't save, pay attention to safety."

After the superior finished his instructions, he waved his hand and let Doctor Liu leave the office.

Until he came to the hospital corridor, Doctor Liu's head was still buzzing, holding the information bag in his hand, at a loss.

He walked to a corner and pulled out the patient's information with some trembling.

"Age: 24."

"Gender: Female."

"Birthplace, onset time, medical history..."

Doctor Liu quickly scanned these basic information and found the records of the previous doctor...

"Every time I see her, I feel pity for her. I know that's not normal. After testing, I found that this pity is related to the distance between me and her. The closer I am to her, the more pity I feel, until I can't control myself at all... I guess this is a kind of 'halo' disease, which is not contagious."

"I have applied to my superiors to change her room to prevent her influence, but her symptoms are still getting worse, and maybe she can't stay in the new room for long."

"After a long time of contact, I have developed strange feelings for her. I can't go on like this..."

"She said she wanted to see my heart, but I refused. I feel guilty..."

"..."

The previous doctor's record came to an abrupt end. Dr. Liu looked at these abnormal records and his heart began to beat again.

Although he hadn't seen the patient yet, Dr. Liu's fear had reached its peak.

The most terrifying thing about the abyss disease is the unknown. Before the cause of the disease was found, the doctor in charge of the research died. There is nothing more terrifying than this.

Not only that, even the doctor's record is full of weirdness.

Doctor Liu carefully read the patient's information several times and took it back with some trembling.

He took a deep breath and decided to go see the patient first.

"The room at the end of the corridor on the third floor..."

Doctor Liu walked to the third floor with some weak legs, walked to the end, and pushed open the door of the ordinary ward.

Inside were circles of concentric floor-to-ceiling glass, and the distances were written on the glass with black markers.

"10m, 8m..."

"4m, 2m..."

In the concentric circle at the center, Doctor Liu saw the patient in the hospital gown - a pale girl.

She looked ordinary, holding a book in her hand and reading it seriously.

Strangely, the girl did not look 24 years old.

"It seems that she is only 10 years old... Is it also the cause of the disease?"

Just as he was observing the girl carefully, the girl seemed to feel something, suddenly raised her head, and looked at Doctor Liu through the layers of glass.

At that moment, Doctor Liu felt as if he was hit by something...
