After that, Jace began to explain his symptoms. By the time he was done, Gerald could feel his heart racing.
'…What? This... These symptoms... It's definitely not a flu-like symptom! These are the exact symptoms I faced when I suffered the effects of Soul Eater! Symptoms that caused some of my blood and oxygen to be devoured! Rather than a disease, it was an evil technique!'
Soul Eater was an evil technique that he learned from the memories that had been implanted into him. He knew it quite well since he had been forced to use it some time ago to escape. There was no better alternative at the time.
'Still, why are there so many children suffering from the effects of Soul Eater all of a sudden? Can anyone else out there know about his technique…?' Gerald thought to himself, confused.
However, he knew that now was not the time to think about that. He should have gone to the children first to see if they really suffered the effects of Soul Eater.
“...There is no time to lose! I'll go with you!" said Gerald quickly.
“It's great to hear it, Mr. Crawford! You know, the dean and a few others are holding research meetings right now. Let's go there first to see if they find any new symptoms! Once we're done doing it, I'll take you to the isolation room!” answer Jace.
Shortly after, Gerald arrives at the hospital with Jace and his two students.
Upon entering the hospital lobby, several elderly people were already seen crying there. Of course, every parent would cry if such an incident befell their child.
Walking past them, the four people then quickly walked into the conference room.
Since Jace already had quite a prestigious status, there was not even anyone to question about the people he brought into the room. Instead, they simply chose to stand up and greet the doctor.
Gerald himself quickly sat down before seeing what was displayed on the big screen in front of the conference room.
'In the past three days, over a hundred babies have been sent to us, and all of them are currently in danger of losing their lives. According to the notes in the case book, all babies experience vomiting and lung infections to different degrees. The latter has a real danger of causing widespread organ failure. We still do not fully understand what causes all this, but from the efforts of the hospital investigation, it is safe to assume that the symptoms are caused by the invasion of a new type of virus.'
Afterwards, the beautiful anchor woman face — but looked worried — was displayed on the screen, and she turned to look at the tall hospital building in front of her before saying, “Hospitals have formed an emergency rescue team consisting of several well-known medical experts. ! We can only hope that they will be able to find a miraculous treatment that will help save the hundreds of lives that are still suffering now! We hope you will also pray for the full healing of children, dear audience!”
Afterwards, Zane Lowe—, Mayberry First Hospital— Dean, gestured for the screen to be turned off before saying, “I'm sure you're all well aware of how serious the conditions we're in right now are. If we fail to save the children, then this incident will definitely become an ugly stain in the history of medicine. With so many great thinkers present today, the failure to save a baby will also lead to a massive medical accident scandal! At that time, the credibility of the hospital will be almost nonexistent!”
“Everyone here today is an expert in this field, many of whom are from affiliated hospitals and even hospitals that are not related to us! I hope you all understand that in the face of danger, you all bear the burden of hope from the government as well as the people. Regardless, I won't spout any more nonsense. Let's start discussing how we're going to save the lives of all these kids. ”
“Until the results of the bacterial culture come out, we won't even be able to find a solution. We need to adjust the medication for this case, you know? We can't just randomly prescribe a drug for the disease when we're not even completely sure about what it is!” said a middle-aged doctor in glasses with a bitter tone.
Many of the doctors present felt it was a pity that they were transferred to perform such a dreadful task.
While they are all well aware that success in curing children will surely bring profit and fame to them—even allowing them the opportunity to enjoy publicity, praise, and fame, and the massive award of each hospital—they also know that the failure will bring to destroy the possibility of future prospects.
There were over a hundred children, and just thinking about the responsibility they would have to bear if they made a mistake made them goosebumps.
“...After checking their pulse, it seemed like they had a lung infection. While we've tried to use all sorts of antiviral drugs, no improvement was seen,” said another elderly Chinese medicine practitioner.
Silence occurred in the conference room for a while after that.
Everyone knows that there are now two options, one is Western medicine and the other is Chinese medicine.
