"The mouse is still alive..."
"Then kill it!"
In a phone booth outside Dawn Hospital in the center of Angbor, a young girl wearing a white doctor's uniform hung up the phone. There was no expression on her numb face, as if... she was sleeping.
Shuguang Medical Group is one of the five largest medical groups in the empire. These five medical groups have basically divided up the entire empire's medical market.
From the raw materials of drugs to the manufacturing of finished products, including various patents, they are all firmly in the hands of these five medical groups.
What's even more terrifying is that the medical universities with the highest rankings and best reputations in the empire and even in the world all belong to these five major medical groups, either directly or indirectly.
In addition, there are a large number of medical device companies, which are also owned by them.
To put it simply, as long as a person is sick and needs treatment, from the moment he walks through the door of any large hospital, he will contribute profits to the five major medical groups.
This is very scary. They are not like the steel tycoon Knight or the newspaper tycoon George, whose names are almost known to everyone. These medical groups are so low-key that many people don’t even know who the presidents of these group companies are. There are people on the board of directors. who.
They don’t even know that the doctor they saw when they were sick, the medicine they took, and the medical equipment they used may all belong to the same group company or come from four other group companies.
They low-key and crazily search for wealth from society, quietly putting the savings in most people's pockets into their own pockets, without being discovered or cast aside by people.
Because what they are doing is medical care, a career of saving lives and helping the wounded.
In the first half of this year, the major evaluation agencies on Xie Lisi Street gave full recommendations on the stocks of the five major medical group companies. Their continuous rise in income has caused a voice within the Securities and Futures Commission - whether to establish a medical sector. These medical groups are independent from other sectors to prevent the increase in stock prices from driving up the index and causing investors to ignore potential financial risks.
This shows the strength and power of these five major medical groups. If anyone can surpass the Chamber of Commerce and the Imperial Bank, it must be these medical groups.
The nurse's chest was printed with the emblem of Sugon Medical Group. She stood at the door of the hospital and recoded her mask. Then, with a half-smiling expression between her eyebrows and eyes, she walked into the hospital with relaxed steps, just like her. Age should act that way.
She is a believer from the Tushen Religion and was adopted by the Tushen Religion since she was a child. They gave her the opportunity to enjoy the warmth of the family and the possibility of studying and studying. They respected her independent personality and freedom.
More importantly, they allowed her to find her spiritual destination, the earth goddess Odela, the mother of the gods, who is the origin and end of everything.
She once thought that she would become a qualified doctor and a qualified believer. While admiring the believer Mother Earth, she would spread the gospel for her and help those who were sick and in need of help.
But one day three years ago, the seat of the Earth Mother Goddess was destroyed. A group of unbelievers who had forgotten the beginning and end of all things destroyed all her reliance and pride, and arrested her brothers, sisters and kind elders. .
Fortunately, the divine messenger who walked the world in compliance with Odra's will was not caught. He dispersed the entire organization, allowing everyone to integrate into the entire society, and the organization also entered hibernation.
Until today, three years later, when people had forgotten that there was a Earth God Cult in the west, they came from the hibernation center.
She followed the order of the divine messenger and came to Angbor to get rid of the blasphemer who had abandoned the faith. His name was Henry.
At the party, she thought Henry would die on the spot. Who knew that this lucky boy would survive, but he would not survive tonight, he would bear the wrath of Odela, the Mother Earth Goddess!
And destruction!
It was no different from before. She came to the Women and Children's Department of the inpatient department for ward rounds, which was her usual job.
At about 9:15, after checking all the wards, she did not return to her office. She took the opportunity to fetch water and went up to the fifth floor from the rarely used fire stairs next to the water room.
The fifth floor is the intensive care unit and independent ward. Most of the time, some distinguished patients are temporarily placed here, and sometimes there are women and children.
So when she appeared here, no one was surprised by her appearance. Some people greeted her, and she responded cordially to everyone who greeted her on the road.
She maintains good interpersonal relationships in the hospital, is approachable and considerate, and everyone is willing to be friends with her, especially some young male doctors.
She sat at the nurse's station for a while, and when the nurse wasn't paying attention, she sprinkled some intestinal cleaning powder into the kettle. These medicines had no toxic side effects and were purely used to help patients empty their stomachs before surgery.
Three to five minutes later, the medicine took effect. The nurse suppressed the discomfort in her abdomen and forced a smile. But soon she couldn't hold on any longer. She stammered and ran and jumped into the toilet.
She smiled slightly, took a form specially used in the intensive care unit to record physical signs every thirty minutes, and walked to the ward where Henry stayed.
The two police officers at the door checked her ID and pockets before letting her into the ward.
There is only one bed in the ward, and there are many medical devices next to it. Some of them are the latest products developed this year, which can effectively prevent patients from sudden respiratory failure or death caused by heart failure when no one is watching. .
They can monitor the patient's physical data very well. When the critical value changes significantly, in addition to notifying the treatment team through ringtones and other methods, some reserved rescue drugs will also be injected into the patient's body through the catheter. , be as fully prepared as possible for the next rescue.
But it is a pity that such high-tech medical equipment is only available on the fifth floor, because other patients cannot afford such equipment, which costs 75 yuan a day.
She vaguely recalled some memories from when she was a student at the medical university. At that time, she was working on a research project with her tutor. There was a funny conversation between her and her tutor that she could not forget to this day.
"Why are our research results not promoted to society? These reports and experimental results can save many people!"
"I'm sorry, although this makes people sad, but I still have to tell you the fact that all cutting-edge research is never meant to serve the public. It is just research and development for a small group of people, and they will not be promoted in a short time. Opportunity."
"Then what's the point of doing all this research?"
"Of course, kid, we will get more research funds, go further in the medical field, and be ahead of other universities and other countries in terms of technology reserves, making us more competitive."
"So... they don't serve the public, do they?"
"It may be cruel, but I say, yes!"
In a daze, she came back to her senses, walked to the hospital bed, took out a pencil, and began to carefully record every data on each instrument. After she carefully completed all the work that should be done, He lifted up his uniform.
On her leg was a ribbon holding a sharp silver knife.
There are some special strange patterns on the blade surface and the handle of the knife. This is a silverware used by the Tushen Cult during sacrifices. Most of the time it is used to slaughter poultry.
When killing large animals, there are specially made gold knives, which are longer and sharper.
She glanced at Henry, who was pale and had most of his face covered by a black breathing mask, and lifted the sheet directly.
There was a hint of dark red in the three pieces of white gauze. She touched Henry's chest with her fingers, pressed a little harder on the left side of the center, and found the gap between the ribs. As long as the tip of the knife is pointed here and inserted gently, Henry's heart will be pierced.
But she was not in a hurry at this time. This stupid rich man offended Odela's divine power and simply killed him in a coma, but instead gave him a gift.
She wanted him to die in fear, in despair.
I found three different medicines from the medicine cabinet on the side and injected them through the catheter. Two of them are used to stimulate the body's vitality during rescue, and the other is a compound extracted from the Grimace Mushroom. Narcotics.
After a moment, Henry opened his eyes and looked at her calmly.
This made her anger almost uncontrollable, and she whispered, "You damn blasphemer, you should repent of all the things you have done. Today will be your end, and you will atone for your past sins in hell!" "
Speaking of this, her expression suddenly softened, and she gently stroked Henry's chest with one hand, "I will dig out your heart before you lose consciousness, and you will watch it beating in my hands. This This is your punishment, Mr. Henry!”
Henry's eyes were still very calm, which made her very unhappy, and her heartbeat began to accelerate slightly, but she thought this was normal.
Whenever people become excited, their heartbeat speeds up to adapt to the body's needs.
She put the silver dagger in her hands, pressed it against the tip of her pen, prayed seriously, and then...
A fist hit her in the face!
The person lying on the bed was not Henry. Noble families like Mr. Knight had very sophisticated experience in assassinations and counter-assassinations. Just like the nobles also had excellent preventive methods, they were all summed up through painful lessons. .
Rather than simply transferring Henry, it is better to leave a substitute to lure out the killer and solve this disgusting trouble.
As it turns out, their plan worked.
The killer was lured out by them, and it was somewhat surprising to learn her identity.
