"Dell, do you still recognize me?" Chen Zhao needed to confirm if Dell was still conscious.
"Chen … help me … I'm in so much pain …"
"Where does it hurt?"
"His whole body."
Standing at the side, Fali said, "He looks like he's having an epilepsy."
Chen Zhao shook his head. "It's the abnormal contraction caused by the electric shock … Tsura, did Dell take anything before you played?"
Tsura hesitated and then nodded.
"What kind of drug is it?" Chen Zhao wasn't surprised by Tsura's answer. In fact, Chen Zhao had already discovered Dell's addiction during his previous visits. It wasn't marijuana either, but something even more intense.
"High-purity MDMA."
MDMA was the main ingredient in methylenedioxymethamphetamine pills.
In fact, the amount of MDMA in ecstasy pills was relatively low. Taking MDMA alone could bring strong hallucinations and pleasure for a short time, but it also meant that it was more toxic.
Chen Zhao really couldn't understand the mentality of people like this.
Of course, as a doctor, Chen Zhao had no obligation to persuade Dell to detox. Dell wouldn't listen to him anyway.
After checking, Chen Zhao confirmed that Dell was convulsing due to a functional complication caused by the abnormal contraction of his heart.
To put it more bluntly, it was the body's alarm.
"Fill the bathtub with water," Chen Zhao said, turning to Tsura. "I want warm water … the temperature where you can put your hand in."
A few minutes later, Tsura ran out of the bathroom.
"It's already filled."
Chen Zhao carried Dell to the bathroom. With his strength, it was easy for him to carry Dell.
Then he put Dell in the bathtub. Turning to Fali, he said, "Help me bring the box over."
Tsura and Fali stood outside the bathroom. They didn't go in and cause trouble.
Fali knew some first aid techniques, but she didn't understand Chen Zhao's treatment method.
"Chen, why did you put the patient in warm water?"
"The human body is very sensitive, especially to temperature. Warm water can ease the contraction, but you still need acupuncture. But I don't think you understand acupuncture."
Actually, Americans weren't unfamiliar with acupuncture. It often appeared in movies and TV shows too.
"But can you see the patient's body clearly through the water? Won't it go crooked? "
Chen Zhao did not doubt his technique. He could question him in other aspects, but he had been practicing acupuncture since he was young.
Acupuncture could not only be seen with a pair of glasses, but also needed to be felt to determine the position.
Dell was soaking in the water. Light would be refracted, but Chen Zhao could still pinpoint the acupuncture points without even using his eyes.
Dell's body gradually calmed down, and the spasms stopped.
After stimulating the acupuncture points, it had already eased Dell's abnormal heart meridian contraction.
Chen Zhao sent Dell back to the bedroom and gave him a muscle massage.
"Chen … Be gentle … It hurts …"
"It's good that you can feel pain." Chen Zhao used a lot of force and he only pressed on the softer parts.
Other than the abnormal contraction of his heart, Dell was also showing signs of being poisoned. It was obviously due to drugs.
Chen Zhao still needed to detoxify him and make him spit out the poison.
…
A car was speeding down the road of Mountain Town under the night sky.
David drove very fast. Sienna sat in the passenger seat.
In the backseat, Kris's reaction was a little off. She had been holding onto the mirror.
"Chris, can you put that mirror away?" David asked, glancing at the rearview mirror.
Chris did not seem to hear anything. She kept her head lowered and looked at the mirror.
Sienna's expression was serious. Chris looked like she had fallen asleep.
"Chris …" Sienna turned around and tried to call Chris.
Chris did not respond. David and Sienna's hearts were very heavy.
Suddenly, David saw Chris in the rearview mirror. No … it was not Chris. It was a completely unfamiliar face.
David almost lost his grip on the steering wheel. The car swayed on the road.
"David, drive properly. What are you doing?" Sienna complained.
"No …" David turned back to look at Kris. Kris was still Kris. Nothing had changed.
"What's wrong?" Sienna saw that David's expression was strange.
"I'm not sure," David said with a troubled expression. With a troubled expression, David said, "When I saw Chris in the rearview mirror, I … I realized that she became a different person …"
Sienna also tried to look in the rearview mirror, but she did not see any changes.
However, Sienna did not think that David had seen wrongly.
She could not explain what was going on either. She was also a bit nervous.
She couldn't understand what was going on.
"We're not at Mountain Town yet?" Sienna asked impatiently. "I don't remember it taking this long last time."
David tried to control his fear. Although he was a police officer, his identity and the gun in his pocket were of no use in the situation they were facing.
"David, do you see the billboard in front?"
"What's wrong?" David saw a billboard by the road.
"I think we've already passed it."
"Maybe they put it in many places. Some roads have the same billboard," David explained. He only said this to reassure himself.
"No!" Sienna suddenly said. "I remember it clearly. The light in the middle of the billboard kept flashing. We did pass that billboard."
"Maybe it's a coincidence …" David continued driving.
But not long after, an identical billboard appeared in front of them.
There was also a light in the middle of the row of lights above the billboard.
David's scalp went numb instantly.
"We've been wandering around this road," Sienna said. "We haven't gotten out."
"Why … Why … Why is it like this?"
Suddenly, a figure jumped in front of the car. In a panic, David slammed on the brakes.
"Did we hit her?" Sienna's face paled.
The two hurried out of the car, but when they got to the front, they realized that it was Chris lying on the ground.
"What? What's going on? "David looked at Kris in shock.
If there was a Chris here, then who was in the car?
Sienna looked back at the car with a serious expression. But because of the headlights, they were in the backlight and could not see clearly.
Sienna quickly walked to the door and looked inside. The car was empty.
