Schrödinger of the Cat [Interstellar]

It was dark at night, and there was only one nurse lying on the table in the empty duty room, and she didn't know if she was asleep or closed her eyes.There were two light screens standing in front of her, one of which showed a single ward with a man covered in catheters lying in the treatment cabin, and the other screen showed the treatment of the man by several machines in the ward. Monitoring data.

Everything was so quiet, even the data didn't jump too much, as if the person in the treatment cabin was already on the verge of death.

Suddenly, the arm of the man in the picture twitched, several monitoring data soared instantly, and a sharp buzzing sounded in the duty room.

The nurse sat up straight, and after seeing the situation on the screen, she immediately pressed the doctor's communication number, and at the same time quickly transferred the electronic medical record to the tablet, and ran out of the duty room with it.When she reached a locked metal gate, three people also came running from the opposite corridor.The nurse handed the tablet in her hand to the oldest doctor among them, and after explaining briefly, got his permission to leave. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and trotted back to the duty room.

The doctor looked at the data displayed on the tablet, carefully inserted his ID card into the card slot next to the metal gate, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to push the gate in front of him.The young student who followed the elderly doctor thought of the legend about the man in the ward, and suddenly felt a little excited. He hugged the documents in his arms tightly, trying to ease his heartbeat with the tenderness of his palms.

The metal door was pushed open a crack, and the irritable mental power inside the door gushed out as if it had suddenly found a vent.Under this mental coercion, the elderly doctor had to take a step back and stand in front of his students.And the two young men behind him were already pale, almost unable to stand up.

Is this the coercion of Grade A mental power?It is so manic and violent, even the B-level mental power required for the entry of a doctor's apprentice cannot support a complete spiritual shield in front of it.

The two students leaned against the wall behind them, hid in the shield made by their instructors, clutched their chests, trying to suppress their hearts that were about to jump out of their throats.The man in the ward is a hero of the empire, they shouldn't be afraid, but why are they so afraid when faced with this leaked spiritual power?

This scene was deadlocked for nearly a minute. Just when the doctor couldn't hold on anymore and was about to kneel down, the man in the ward slowly opened his eyes in the treatment cabin.The irritable mental power instantly calmed down, as if it had never appeared before.

Ares felt the fire in his throat, the pain was not severe, but it wrapped him tightly, as if the fire just experienced in the illusion had extended his injury to this body.He stared at the top cover of the treatment cabin for a while before he slowly realized the situation he was in now.

Is this... back?

He raised his hand, trying to remove the oxygen tube and feeding tube inserted in his throat, but his wrist was caught by the tendon assisting device in the treatment cabin.So he calmed down, closed his eyes, and tried to recall what happened before he fell into the illusion.

It was a common encounter on the frontline Kerr star orbit, but the enemy he faced was a bit special-the ghost royal family.

Ghost Emperors don't often appear on the battlefield, in fact they are very precious to the Ghost Clan because they are one of the few individuals in the Ghost Clan that can reproduce.Their spiritual power is extremely powerful, so a ghost royal family can even rival tens of thousands of battle-level ghosts.In the few battles in history where the ghost royal family participated in the battle, the empire was forced to send several armies to repel them, but there was never a record of killing them.

However, in that encounter, Ares only led a patrol team, but faced a ghost royal family who was trying to infiltrate the empire for unknown reasons.

Since the royal family was alone, the intelligence agency did not detect its silent invasion. The Ares patrol team encountered the other party on the landing orbit close to Kerr, and there was no time to wait for rescue.Once the ghost royal family successfully lands in the atmosphere, it can find any creature to parasitize, and then it is as difficult to find as a mud cow into the sea, unless all the creatures on that planet are caught and tested.

In order to delay the landing of the ghost royal family, all 13 members of Ares' team died. Ares was the last one and the one with the most powerful spirit.In order to delay enough time for the front-line troops to react and not to be parasitized by the ghost royal family, he detonated his mental power in a desperate attempt to form a mental storm in the nearby area, trying to stop the ghost.

It is true that the ghost royal family cannot overcome the spiritual storm, but it does not want to fall short like this, so it invaded the spiritual world of Ares that was about to collapse due to the outbreak, trying to directly parasitize this person's body.

Although Ares was a little drowsy at that time, years of high-intensity training kept him thinking clearly. He had to squeeze his potential again, trying to extract the spiritual tentacles from the ghost royal family to restore his mental power .

Such an approach is undoubtedly crazy, and no one has ever dared to test the consequences of doing so, so no one thought that Ares and the ghost royal family dragged each other into an illusion like this.

It was an illusion...so gentle that one would not want to wake up.

The sound of liquid being pumped out of the treatment cabin interrupted Ares' memories. He opened his eyes again and saw three doctors standing outside the cabin.Soon, the treatment cabin was opened, and the doctor stepped forward to remove the tendon assisting device that was imprisoning his joints, and pulled out the tube inserted into his body.This process was very painful, and Ares resisted the feeling of imminent riot in the depths of his spiritual world, without saying a word.

He doesn't know how he survived and how he woke up from the illusion, but now he can clearly feel that his spiritual world is very unstable, and he is clamoring at any time as if he wants to explode again, so he must use all his strength Suppress your own mental power.

"Major General, you have been in a coma for two years, and your body functions may need a period of rehabilitation to fully recover." The elderly doctor said softly.

Ares frowned slightly: "What did you call me...?" His voice was so hoarse that he could hardly hear him, but after he said a few words, his throat hurt like a knife cut, and he returned A bloody smell.

"Major General." The doctor replied respectfully, "Your charitable deeds on the front line were commended by all the generals of the military department, and after it was confirmed that you killed a ghost royal family, the empire decided to award you first-class merit and be promoted to major general. "

Ares pursed his lips tightly and clenched his molars.Only he himself knows that he did not succeed in killing that ghost royal family, but was parasitized by that royal family...or, in other words, incompletely parasitized.At that time, they were entangled and fell into an illusion, and at the same time they were possessed by a cat that was seriously injured and dying. He also competed with the ghost for control of his body in the spiritual world.

Later, he was taken home by a human being, and the ghost in his spirit was gradually suppressed in the singing of that human being.

If it wasn't for the fire that broke out in the illusion, if he hadn't mistakenly believed the illusion to be real, if he hadn't tried to use his spiritual power to save that human being, he might really be able to annihilate that ghost in his spiritual world.

It's just that it's too late now, and Ares knows that the ghost is still there. Now, at this moment, it is still hiding in the dark of his spiritual world, ready to move.

However, since the empire dared to spread the news of killing the ghost and put him in the ward of the Royal Hospital, it meant that at least they did not detect the existence of the ghost in their bodies.If the instrument can't detect it, and he can keep suppressing the ghost, maybe he can keep this secret forever, and then find a border planet to exile himself, so as to avoid unexpected danger to the center of the empire—only in this way can he Stay alive and fight again on the front lines against the ghosts.

Seeing the major general's unpredictable expression, the doctor suddenly felt a little guilty.He collected himself, took out the equipment he had prepared, and said cautiously: "Major General, according to the regulations we must..."

The moment Ares saw the instrument in the doctor's hand, he almost couldn't suppress the mental power he wanted to explode, but just a trace of leaked coercion made the doctor speechless.Cold sweat rolled down the doctor's forehead, and the legs of the students behind him were so weak that they almost sat on the ground.

What the doctor holds in his hand is an instrument for detecting ghosts. Unlike conventional detectors, this instrument is used to scan the spiritual world—the parasite of ghosts is always synchronized with the body and soul. Ares passed through safely when he was unconscious. Physical examination, but unable to perform mental examination, now he must complete the test in order to completely escape the suspicion of being parasitized.

The atmosphere became a little dignified. If Ares refused to scan, the doctor had the right to judge that he had been parasitized. This was the empire's uncompromising in the face of ghosts.

"...I understand." Ares took some time to calm his mind, and finally accepted the reality in front of him with a hoarse voice.

The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, quickly connected the instrument without saying a word, and pasted a few chips on Ares's forehead, behind the ear and temple.The instrument was operating dutifully, and the doctor took the tablet from his student and observed the data beating on it.He sincerely hoped that nothing would go wrong, because if he found out what he didn't want to see, he wasn't sure if the powerful man in front of him would kill him to silence him.

The data was quietly displayed on the screen of the tablet, and the doctor read it line by line with an uneasy heart. When he saw one of the data, he felt a chill rushing over his head, and he almost couldn't hold the device in his hand.

Ares opened his eyes suddenly, all the muscles in his body tensed.The abnormality of the doctor was caught by him and the score was not bad. If the test result was not satisfactory, he didn't know what the ghost in his mind would do. At this moment, he could only try his best to suppress the surging mental power, so as not to hurt the innocent.

"Heaven—" the doctor's student also saw that line of data, he opened his mouth in surprise, and murmured in disbelief: "Super Class A mental power!"

The doctor finally calmed down at this moment, and as the beating data on the tablet stopped completely, his heart also fell into his stomach. "Congratulations, Major General!" He felt sincerely happy for his luck, "Your spiritual power has reached the super-A level, and you have not been polluted by ghosts! Your Majesty will be proud of this!"

Ares finally relaxed, only feeling extremely tired all over. "Thank you." He whispered, "...follow-up treatment?"

"It has been arranged for you, and you will be transferred to the general ward." The doctor said, motioning to his students to lift Ares out of the treatment cabin, while still rambling: "Your rehabilitation plan has been completed." You can start, because you have been in a coma for a long time, the tendon assist device cannot fully guarantee your physical function..."

Listening to the old doctor's words, Ares recalled the same long-winded person in the illusion.

He knows that most of the illusions are caused by delusions in people's subconscious, but he doesn't know which part of his subconscious will create such an existence-he is sad but not pessimistic, he is withdrawn but caring, he is gentle but not weak; The most beautiful voice in the world does not belong to the lofty sounds of nature, but it is full of complex and pervasive true feelings in the world; his favorite thing is to chatter to a group of cats who can't understand him. Too much cat litter, I dislike the cat that will dirty my neck hair when I eat, and I will clean up the messed things in the end after nagging, and then hug those troublesome cats for a messy kiss...

It was he who rescued himself from a near-death injury, suppressed the entangled ghosts in the spiritual world with his singing, and made him feel the tenderness he had never had before with the cat food and warm embrace he made with his own hands.

Ares thought that he might have been on the battlefield for too long, so he was obsessed with those warm little details in the illusion, and he was reluctant to leave that illusion.He didn't know that the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily in the recollection, making the doctor students beside him shudder.
