"Yes, special humans who have a physique similar to mine, who can realize that they cycle endlessly throughout the day, and retain some or even all of their memories, are called time-tracers. Although this probability is extremely rare, if you look at the entire city,
, there are still quite a few people." Zhang Ke explained:
"If you don't have any memories of previous reincarnations, then you must be a completely ordinary person, right? However, I did witness an ordinary person awakening his time-tracing physique little by little, and gradually began to retain a small amount of impressions and memories in reincarnation.
process - so I guess that there may not be an essential hard gap between time-travelers and ordinary people, but the interference can be strengthened through external means."
"Well... to be more specific, what are you going to do? First of all, we must determine which part of the body the physical difference between time-travelers and ordinary people affects, and what the principle is, right?"
Although Zhang Shengke still felt that Zhang Ke's words were bizarre and difficult to understand, at this time he had no choice but to accept them all for the time being and analyze them calmly using rational thinking as much as possible.
"Well, I am indeed going to tell you the information I know, and I originally needed your professional knowledge and help - you are a doctor. Although you may seem like a quack to outsiders, in fact you are just limited by the ability to follow
The master's agreement is that you cannot use medical skills on others if you are younger than your age." Zhang Ke said:
"But I know that your medical skills are actually very high, and your knowledge base is compatible with both Chinese and Western medicine. If you can give full play to your strength, you will definitely become a good doctor."
"...You're flattered, at least you're not a quack." Zhang Shengke showed quite complex emotions on his face, like a helpless smile, but also like embarrassment after being praised, and even some relief at being recognized.
Just thinking that the only person in the world who praised him was "me" in a certain reincarnation made him feel a rather awkward and strange feeling.
"Although I once studied biology, I have abandoned my studies for many years. I am far less knowledgeable about human organs and body changes than you are. Therefore, I think you can provide me with knowledge and suggestions in many professional fields."
Zhang Ke paused and then told the other party all the information he knew about the time-travelers' physical problems.
——Of course, he deliberately concealed the game and struggle between Shanghai Flower and Guixu, because these matters were too confidential and could not be told casually to others.
"...Do you mean to say that time-traversers suffer from structural brain lesions that are different from ordinary people, so they can retain their memories in the time loop and escape from being cleared when the world restarts?" Zhang Shengke pondered for a moment.
, gave preliminary suggestions:
"Although I still can't understand why the structure of the brain alone can resist huge phenomena such as world reset and time rotation, but assuming that this argument is true, we can examine and analyze your brain first.
See what are the key differences from normal people."
"Okay, what's your plan?"
"First take an intracranial radiograph, and then measure the brain waves. You can also try a series of brain examinations. Will casting a wide net always yield results?" Zhang Shengke said, and then took a look at the lights that gradually dimmed.
Coming down from the outpatient clinic building, a sly light flashed in his eyes:
"Come in quietly with me and don't make any noise. They don't have many brain patients. They have all gone off work at this time. I guess the cleaning ladies have left - the remaining medical instruments and examination equipment are just for our use."
"Doesn't it matter if you are discovered? Your father-in-law managed to arrange for you to come in. If you bring a stranger into the brain department at night and steal the equipment, you will probably be expelled directly if you are caught." Zhang Ke joked.
"If the time cycle is only one day, then what do I have to fear? Everything will happen again in a few hours anyway - and as long as I can break through the cage of this day, what can I do?
It will be all right!"
When Zhang Shengke said these words, his originally cowardly and wretched eyes revealed a rare look of determination and determination - naturally because, if time stayed on February 15th, he would
The date agreed upon with the master will never be reached, and he will never be able to practice his medical skills, and he will sink in futility and frustration day after day.
Fortunately, Zhang Shengke had stayed in this hospital for more than a year and knew the environment very well. With Zhang Ke, he cleverly avoided all the surveillance probes, sneaked into the brain ward without anyone noticing, and used the brainwave equipment to
, the intracranial imaging device and the MRI machine were all started one by one, and he skillfully led Zhang Ke through the full set of examinations.
"I said, is it necessary to do so many checks? It took three hours just to tinker with this pile of things, and the world will restart in more than two hours. You have to hurry up, otherwise you will have to start all over again.
"It's gone." Zhang Ke sat on the chair and complained while drinking the Baisui Mountain mineral water he took out from the doctor's refrigerator in the brain department office.
"If ordinary people registered for this entire process on their own, even including medical insurance, they would not be able to afford tens of thousands." Zhang Shengke said while flipping through the mountain of reports in front of him, "Just treat it as if it was done once.
Free comprehensive brain examination, you can make a fortune.”
"Come on, have you reached a conclusion?" Zhang Ke drank all the mineral water in the bottle in one gulp. He kept tossing up and down the instrument just now, but he was so thirsty.
"I can't say a conclusion, but at least I found some obvious characteristics and inferences." Zhang Shengke held an intracranial imaging film and said slowly, "The memory center in your brain, commonly known as the hippocampus, is smaller than that of ordinary people.
The structure has expanded several times, and the shape is weird and twisted, as if it has been invaded by some pathogen, but the body's technology has put up a desperate resistance, and although it has maintained its position, it has been changed beyond recognition."
"In addition, your body fluids—including blood, lymph, and especially cerebrospinal fluid—contain some abnormal protein particles. But the strange thing is that none of the existing general blood test indicators can correspond to such abnormal particles. I
I have no idea what this is and why it appears in your body. Could it be a new type of disease that has not yet been discovered?"
"Disease? In other words, are these protein particles the cause of my special physique?" Zhang Ke asked with a frown.
"It's unclear. To conduct a detailed analysis of an unknown protein, its structure must be scanned and determined, and used as a biological experimental observation result - but obviously we currently do not have the conditions... and time for such detailed research."
When Zhang Shengke talked about related issues in his field, he seemed much more reliable than before:
"You mentioned before that you have intermittent amnesia, and you have forgotten most of your past memories, right? This is easy to explain. The superficial reason is that your memory center has been structurally distorted and blocked because it has been attacked.
By blocking some of the neuron pathways, you are temporarily blocked from those memories."
"But as for these unknown protein particles, are they pathogens that directly harm you, or are they the product of the combination of your immune system and pathogens? Or are they unrelated to pathogens and are purely special physiological substances released by your brain after the disease?
