Something came to an abrupt stop. The light of the gate ahead dimmed, and the vitality that had just surged disappeared.
Deng Ximei, Chen Jiahwa and Wang Ruoxiang's hands that were pressed on the door felt as if they had been electrocuted. Chen Jiahwa shouted anxiously but could not say anything. He did not know what was going on. Zhou Haorui and Yang Xinxin noticed that it seemed to be because of Wang Ruoxiang …
"It is not because of anyone." Deng Ximei said with a frown. "Humans are just a microcosm of our civilization."
Medicine, medical technology, biotechnology, gene editing, cloning, cell regeneration …
More equal? More unequal?
Misfortune was fair, but what if misfortune was no longer fair?
"Our world's current medical situation and development trend have not been recognized by it." Deng Ximei was also at a loss as she thought about it.
"Then what should we do now?" Zhou Haorui asked Yang Xinxin, "Should we give it a try?" Yang Xinxin looked around warily. "Don't you think we have something else to worry about?" The wind here was even colder. There were ripples in space, like the connection between the two worlds was about to collapse.
Wang Ruoxiang did not say anything. She was still staring at the door. Suddenly, her expression changed. Her right hand reached for the dissecting saw in her left hand. Blood flowed, and the skin on her palm split open. She raised her bloody hand and pressed it on the door again. "As a medical worker, I officially swear to dedicate my life to humanity."
Her solemn voice seemed to awaken the door. The light reappeared, and that surprised everyone.
They had no idea what her senses were. Even though they knew that it was not a good time to disturb her, Wang Ruoxiang's face was turning pale. Her blood flowed to the door faster than her wound. The light from the symbol of the Goddess of Life on the door had turned a pale red.
"I will consider the health and happiness of the patient first; I will respect the autonomy and dignity of the patient …"
Wang Ruoxiang continued to recite the Hippocratic Oath. Her voice did not have a trace of ruthlessness, but it was firm. It was the firmness of a person who had put down a huge stone in her heart. "I will maintain the greatest respect for human life. I will not consider the patient's age, illness or disability, creed, ethnic origin, gender, nationality, political belief, race, sexual orientation, social status, or any other factors …
What to do? Chen Jiahua looked at the others anxiously. With Senior Sister Wang's blood loss, no one would be able to survive.
"It wants sacrifices …" Zhou Haorui suddenly had an idea. "This door wants us to offer sacrifices … It wants health."
"Health?" Yang Xinxin's eyes widened. "Are you saying that this is the real 'sacrifice of health'?"
They "sacrificed their health" to the crows, giving the patients the joy of recovering their health. The crows did not seem to want anything else, but they always seemed to be missing something. Now, facing the power of the Goddess of Life and seeing Wang Ruoxiang like this … the raven mark on her right wrist had a strange reaction …
Was the crow really related to the power of the Life Goddess?
What was sacrificed was not the patient's health, but the doctor's health.
Doctors sacrificed their health, or even their lives, in exchange for the health of their patients … Doctor Carlop sacrificed himself just like that.
The blood-red light from the door grew brighter, and the symbol of the Goddess of Life became more vivid. Various images flashed across the door: the various disasters that had happened in their world over the past few years, the medical staff who had fallen at their posts, and other personnel … Regardless of the reason why they were sent to the battlefield, these people were sacrificing themselves …
Zhou Haorui and Yang Xinxin also saw the plague doctor who had gone deep into Mary Golden Alley …
"Pull her away!" Deng Ximei said anxiously. She rushed forward to pull Wang Ruoxiang away, but she could not move her.
What was happening was undoubtedly Wang Ruoxiang sacrificing herself to change the attitude of the door towards human civilization.
If they did not pull her away, when the door opened, it would be the time when Wang Ruoxiang sacrificed herself.
The medicine was important, but it was to save lives. If they could not even save their comrade's life, what was the point of looking for medicine?
Chen Jiahwa and Zhou Haorui did not hesitate. They joined forces to pull Wang Ruoxiang away, but the three of them and Yang Xinxin were unable to pull Wang Ruoxiang away. Suddenly, they were pushed away by a force that felt like the door. The four of them staggered backward.
Wang Ruoxiang turned around to look at them, and she seemed to be smiling.
"I will protect the patient's secret, even if the patient is dead; I will use my conscience and dignity to practice my profession according to the best medical standards; I will inherit the honor and noble tradition of the medical profession …"
She took a step forward, and her whole body seemed to pass through the door. By then, the door was already a combination of light and shadow, and her blood was flowing.
She was merging with the door, and she was also disappearing.
"Quick, go get the medicine …" Wang Ruoxiang said something else, but she was talking to them. Her voice was muffled. "We only have a moment, the medicine for the abnormal person …"
Her figure also became more and more blurry, melting into the chaotic scene. The strange giant door slowly rose up and opened the door, revealing the inside of the building's lobby. However, it was blurry and indistinct.
The four at the door were like a small boat in the eye of a storm. Their emotions swayed violently, and they did not know what to do. Their hearts felt like they were being torn apart.
Once, Gu Jun faced Yu Chi … Deng Ximei's brows furrowed as she rushed toward the door. "Let's go, get the medicine!"
Wang Ruoxiang had done what she had to do, and they had to do what they had to do.
Chen Jiahwa choked out a cry. Along with Zhou Haorui and Yang Xinxin, they stepped through the door that was no longer blocked and entered the blur.
"I will give my teachers, colleagues, and students the respect and gratitude they deserve; I will share my medical knowledge to benefit the patients and promote medical progress …"
Behind them, Wang Ruoxiang's figure slowly disappeared. The Carlop dissection saw that she was holding fell to the ground.
The symbol of the Goddess of Life on the rising door glowed with a bright red light.
Amidst the flashing images, there was an additional female figure in a white coat. The figure had appeared in the medical school classroom, the autopsy room, the operating room, the sickroom … She had also appeared at Da Hua's central treatment point, telling all the panicking patients that she would risk her life to save them.
At least this time, she did not just say beautiful words.
She had already written her will. Mortals would eventually die, and dying like a hero was not a bad way to die.
"I solemnly, voluntarily, and honorably make these promises."
