Qingcheng Xie is the last to follow the firefighters from the rope ladder down.

When he went down, the fire had begun to approach them in this direction, the smoke rolled so thick that people could barely open their eyes. It was hard to get his feet on the ground, and rescue workers ran over to check his injuries.

Qingcheng Xie saw Xue Xie in the middle of the crowd, several medical nurses were surrounding her, he rushed over: "How is she?"

"You are ......"

"I'm her brother."

"Ohhhhhhh, don't worry, she's fine, her vitals are stable, she'll wake up when the medicine wears off."

Qingcheng Xie is now relieved.

The ambulanceman looked up and down at the tall man who was topless, food for thought, although not the time, but such a handsome man to see two more eyes work can be more numb.

But Qingcheng Xie did not realize how provocative he looked with his slender shoulders and long, narrow waistline sunk deep into his silver buckle belt, a man who is cold and masterful and usually does not take his appearance into account, nor does he care much about the gaze of others.

No, the paramedics were looking at him, but after looking at Xue Xie, he only knew how to face Kang Cheng Hospital, which was still deep in the fire.

Qingcheng Xie looked up at the flaming rooftop and had mixed feelings for a while. And everywhere you look, you can see the patients who have not yet been rescued screaming in panic on the windowsill, slapping their hands against the barred windows.

"Help!!!"

"Help us! Fire! The fire is coming!!!"

"I don't want to die yet...help me! Help save you help me!!!"

Those bars were originally set up to prevent patients from jumping out of the window, but now it has become the biggest stumbling block to emergency rescue, the original way to take the rope ladder quickly rescue from the window was cut off, the only way is to risk life and limb rushing in to open the lock from room to room to rescue people.

The whole Chengkang Mental Hospital has become a hell on earth, just as Lanpei Jiang cursed.

The ward closest to the cloth and grass room, an old man has been crying, but he shouted his parents, the old man is demented, and often crazy, children dislike, sent him here.

Perhaps he also knew vaguely in his heart that they would be happy when he died.

Only the ancient parents are deeply in love with him, he cried and howled like a child before dying, and couldn't stop crying out for his mother and father ......

Fire tried to force the window, but it was too late, the old man's room was too close to the fire, he was engulfed in flames as the crowd watched, with one hand still maintaining a rigid position to poke out of the iron cage ......

No one knows whether he was an old man who was abandoned because he was sick or a child who missed his parents in his last moments.

The fireman's lips quivered as he turned back toward the crowd and yelled, "Where are the keys? Did any of you have your keys with you when you escaped?"

"No, no ...... who remembers ......"

"It's hanging in the director's office on the third floor!"

There was another deafening explosion, and the window glass popped out along with the shattered wood debris.

One of the rescued caregivers stood up and said, "Comrade, don't you go back in there! It's too dangerous!!!"

"Yeah ...... it's too late ...... to save it at all ......"

There were even people who whispered, "Those are seriously ill ...... the higher the floor the sicker they are, and there is little use in saving them out ......"

There was chaos all around.

Qingcheng Xie suddenly saw a lone figure standing in the chaos, looking up at the burning building for a moment, then heading deeper into the trees towards the north gate where no one was looking.

Qingcheng Xie was taken aback -

Yu He ?!!

"Excuse me, borrow a facemask."

Qingcheng Xie said, judged the fire, grabbed two protective masks and ran in the direction of Yu He.

"Hey! Comrade!" The ambulance attendant snapped back to her senses, fuck, you can't be this capricious even if you're a handsome guy! She shouted, "What are you doing! Don't go back into the fire!!!"

But Qingcheng Xie simply ignored her and chased after Yu He's back like a cheetah.

How could he have expected this man to return to the fire again - what was he going to do?

Yu He did not go to the north door where the firefighters had gathered, he grabbed a rope ladder that had not yet had time to withdraw, and went straight up to the rooftop where he had just gotten out. Qingcheng Xie followed him up, others want to follow again has been too late, the tongue of fire has burned over, the bottom half of the soft rope instantly burned to ashes.

Yu He a flip over the rooftop railing, he looked below the water tower, where only a charred, huddled body was burning, the body of Lanpei Jiang.

He opened the door with a bang, looked at the fire, and then ran for the director's office.

Qingcheng Xie thought he was a madman, but of course he was already a madman. He grabbed Yu He's arm when he opened the fireproof door and reprimanded him very sternly: "What are you doing? Do you want to die? Hurry up and go down with me to the north door! Now there is not much fire here, it is still too late."

Yu He stared at his face as if he didn't know him, "What are you doing up here?"

Qingcheng Xie didn't bother to talk to him, his eyes were sharp: "You fucking follow me down!"

"No. This time it's different. This time I want to save someone."

"You--"

"They are my kind, only I can save them, only I have time to get them all out - you heard what those people down there said. That old man was burned alive right before their eyes, and there were more waiting to die, but they said, "Forget it."

The look in Yu He's eyes was almost a little gruesome.

He gently: "- mental illness is not worth saving, and when it comes to things like this, they are all given up - they all deserve to die."

He stared into Qingcheng Xie's eyes, the corners of his mouth slowly blossomed into a piercing cold smile: "Do you think so too? Dr. Xie?"

"That's because it's really too late ...... you be sensible! You can't open one door after another." Qingcheng Xie's voice was muffled, "There's no time."

Yu He did not speak anymore, he was so strong that he broke away from Qingcheng Xie's hand and ran in the direction of the office.

Very lucky, the office that area and the fire is the largest area separated by a large piece of restroom, when the building cut corners with all the tiles even a wooden frame are lazy embedded, now this area has become the slowest spreading flames.

Yu He found a large set of ding-tao keyboards in the house and headed for the third floor part of the ward where the fire had not yet reached.

"Help ......"

"Help us!!!"

"I don't want to die yet ...... I don't want to die yet!!!"

"Oooooooooh, is it the devil's fire burning over? It's the devil's fire!!!"

The lights in the aisle have long since gone out, and there are cries on both sides of the aisle, but in more rooms, there won't even be any more cries ......

The keypad matched the door number, Yu He took the nearest one and started to open the door.

Qingcheng Xie chased over when he had opened the first door, which ran out of a cloaked woman, ah ah ah screaming, Qingcheng Xie a look at the heart is cold - this is not under control.

Ordinary people would lose their minds in such a situation, let alone these patients.

The woman screamed and ran in the direction of the fire without a clue. Qingcheng Xie was about to stop, but Yu He reached out and dragged her back--

"Don't go in that direction!"

"She won't listen to you-"

"Fire! There's fire aaaahhhh!!!"

In the midst of the chaos, Qingcheng Xie suddenly saw a flash of cold light!

Yu He was holding a blade that he had just brought out from the office and wiped it across his palm.

The blood seeped out of the wound at once, Qingcheng Xie did not know why he did it, but there seemed to be a long-ago data memory in his mind, already stirring, he had not read it, but instinct has made him chill hair.

The next second, his eyes widened to see Yu He unhooked one of the rings on the keypad and stained it with his own blood as well. He said softly, but without denying it, to the crazy woman: "Take this set of keys and open the door, open one door, then distribute other keys to the people inside and order them to open more doors. Be quick. The faster you are, the more patients you can save. Do it."

Something horrible happened, the woman who was hysterical before, at this moment as if suddenly sedated by some kind of tranquilizer, the moment she smelled Yu He's blood, her eyes became very calm -

It was as if Yu He's blood, through the sense of smell, had provoked some kind of reflex reaction in her skull, allowing her to be manipulated along with his emotions.

The woman took the keychain and immediately ran for the other iron doors.

The whole command process was very short, but Qingcheng Xie watched the whole body chilled, even the fingertips were cold -

Case #4 Yu He , who has the disease allopathic ability as an adult ......

In the data measurement file, the "blood compulsion" that has been marked as doubtful!

There is a lack of clinical data on psychiatric Bola Ai disorder, and the condition can only be speculated through the three previous cases and a series of numerical simulations. What is certain is that people suffering from this psychosis, in addition to the basic characteristics that each patient would have, each carries a pathological abnormality.

Simply put, the disease mutates in the individual, and each person's genes are different, which can cause this disease mutation to differentiate in different directions. This mutation tends to develop along with the patient's age, fully revealing itself in adulthood and tending to stabilize.

Case #1, the disease ability that was generated at that time was - smell and sniff.

The disease changed her olfactory nerve, her nose became abnormally sensitive. Generally speaking, a dog's olfactory nerve occupies four times the area of a human's, and No. 1's sense of smell reached more than eight times that of an ordinary human after the disease mutated. Any tiny scent in the air was stimulating her olfactory nerve, torturing her into more and more mental disorder.

No. 2, No. 3, both exhibited their unique disease powers before they died.

Yu He, No. 4, had not shown any signs of alienation before Qingcheng Xie's departure.

Qingcheng Xie originally thought that perhaps the individual variation of spiritual Bola Ai was not absolute, and that Yu He might be an exception.

But I didn't realize that he was the one who figured out the most terrible mutation possible in the data simulation projection -

Blood Compulsion.

The so-called blood compulsion, Yu He's blood under certain conditions, on a specific group of people with mental illness, has an induced paralyzing effect. It is like serotonin, which immediately calms the patient's emotions, and at the same time, like a drug, stimulates the reward mechanism in the patient's brain, giving the patient the illusion that "if he listens to him, he will get more", thus triggering the patient to be controlled by Yu He's words, as if "under the spell". The effect of Yu He's language is like a "compulsion".

At that time, the laboratory projection is only a guess, the data simulation "blood compulsion" the direction of the mutation, some researchers are not even believe.

But now -

Doors, one after another, were opened by the sick.

The speed is amazing, open a door to save one, there is one more to help open the door, the key is soon divided up, those crazy patients in the blood compulsion stimulation, simply become a trained soldier.

Yu He walked through it with a cold look, like a spiritual leader controlling the patients. He went to the far end of the corridor, where the only way to escape was in the direction of the north entrance, and the voices of the firemen were already hovering at the entrance of the building, and they would soon come up to the third floor.

But at the same time, the flames at the end of the building had rolled closer, roaring like a fire dragon hissing towards them, wrapped in a roll of choking smoke, like to suffocate them in this morose canal with suffocating poisonous gas and devastatingly high heat.

There is no water here to wet the cloth to cover the mouth and nose, so we can only increase the speed.

Yu He stood in front of the fire door, turned his face slightly sideways and gave instructions to all the patients, "Get down as low as you can, in my direction, and go down to the fire. Hurry."

Patients, like robots fed with instructions, swarmed forward with amazing speed and order, running towards the safe passage, the zombies manipulated in science fiction films are just like that ......

When the last patient ran down, the fire was already very close, the smoke concentration was getting higher and higher, almost to the point of having to lie on the ground to breathe. Yu He looked at Qingcheng Xie, who approached him with a rather ugly look, and said nothing, just turned sideways to let Qingcheng Xie in as well.

With a heavy bang, the safe passage fire-blocking door slammed shut behind them, temporarily isolating the approaching fire dragon.

Icy almond eyes gazed at the shocked peach blossom eyes in the darkness: " Qingcheng Xie . Don't you tell anyone."

Qingcheng Xie's face was blue, but he finally handed Yu He a gas mask without saying a word.

"Take it. Go away."

The tongue of fire slammed into the fire door, Yu He and Qingcheng Xie followed those rescued patients running down ......

"Brother!!! Brother !!!!!"

Qingcheng Xie and Yu He were met by firefighters, the last two ran out, they were greeted by two almost broken howls, Qingcheng Xie as soon as the mask was removed, they saw the already awakened Xue Xie full of tears rushed towards him, running even the shoes that the firefighters found for her fell off.

"Brother ah ah ah ah ...... big brother!!! Big brother!!! You are not going to scare me to death? You are not going to scare me to death! I thought even you did not want me! Even you also want to leave me behind! Brother woo woo woo woo ......"

She immediately jumped into Qingcheng Xie's arms, Qingcheng Xie hugged so tightly, almost to his waist are strangled, around the sound of explosions and screams continue, some people are really can not be saved ...... she was so scared, as if all the blood was drained out of the body, only a thin painted skin still left on earth, only when clinging to her brother's tall body, she came up for air while crying and breathing in the smell of Qingcheng Xie's body, she seemed to have a heartbeat again, the blood only to be poured back into her body.

Teardrops flowed down in bunches, soiling her cat-like face as she cried out with her mouth open and a slurred yell escaping her lips: "You can't leave me like mommy and daddy! You can't leave me like mommy and daddy, big brother! I'm so scared ...... I'm really scared ...... you hug me, you hug me!!!"

"It's okay. It's okay."

Qingcheng Xie rarely accepts such strong feelings, he is a very family-oriented person, but his love for his family is often introverted, even in the form of accusations.

But this moment he also some can not stand, he hugged his sister shivering cloaked a long coat, lowered his head kissed her messy bird's nest head, the eyes are also a little red.

"It's okay, Xue Xie ."

Xue Xie howled in Qingcheng Xie's arms for a while and then saw Yu He.

She had just calmed down a bit and broke down again, crying and jumping into Yu He's arms - no, to be precise, she should have dragged Yu He over and put him in a ring with her big brother, so Yu He was forced to be close to Qingcheng Xie as well.

Yu He that gentle and handsome face showed some embarrassment, he has never hugged a man so close, especially the man or Qingcheng Xie, feel very uncomfortable - look at Qingcheng Xie's expression, he seems to be the same meaning.

But both of them did not move due to Xue Xie's face and emotions, and let her forcefully let the three of them ring around and circle their reunion in a chaotic mess.

.

"Help! Help!!! Comrade! There's someone here! I'm over here!!!"

At the elevator entrance of Kang Cheng Hospital, a man with white hair was shouting in panic, he belonged to the oldest group of Kang Cheng's leadership. If it weren't for some temporary work he needed to handle, he wouldn't have come back today.

The man was fighting in his wheelchair, his □ was already all wet, urine was flowing down his pants, he was experiencing for the first time how horrible it was to be unable to take care of himself, the blaze was approaching his direction, even though he knew he couldn't take the elevator, even the elevator was broken, he was still involuntarily pressing that key button frantically.

"Hurry! Quick...someone, help...I have money...someone help me...I have a lot of money!"

Because of the tension, the muscles of his cheeks were twitching and spasming violently.

Suddenly -

As if the heavens had heard his prayers, a man wearing a gas mask and a firefighting look-alike ran up from the darkened security tunnel and saw him paralyzed in his wheelchair.

The man was like seeing a god: "Comrade! Help me!!! Help me!!!"

His nostrils fluttered with excitement, the pale flesh of his nose hung with fine beads of sweat, his pupils contracted with excitement, reflecting the other man's figure approaching him carrying firefighting equipment.

Then, he froze. The eye kernels closed violently!

The man in the firefighting suit, through the eye patch flashed a morose cold smile, followed by the equipment in his hand open ...... that is not a fire extinguishing device! That is ......

Gasoline!!!

"You, you are-!"

" Kang Cheng This mess can't be peddled, I was sent by them to 'clean up'." A dull male voice came from under the mask, "All that money of yours, save it to spend slowly down there."

"NO!!!"

Boom!!!

Gasoline and fire engine thrown together on the man's face completely distorted by extreme panic, the face finally like the skewed face in the Monk's shout, the whole was swallowed by the fire roll twisted ......
