"I have already heard about this matter from Mr. Kikuoka. This week, Kikuoka Ji also told me about your matter. She said that you are likely to visit, so I have already made preparations."
Doctor Kurahashi said to everyone.
"In short, I will take you to see Kikuoka Ji first. Her ward is on the top floor of the Central Building. It is a bit far from here. You should take this opportunity to be mentally prepared."
After leaving behind such disturbing words, Kurahashi led the way in front.
Rozen and Yasna suddenly looked at each other. One's face was full of calmness, while the other's face was full of uneasiness. However, they held each other's hands tightly and followed behind Kurahashi.
Kikuoka Seijiro had already completed his task, but he also followed behind Rozen and Yasna. He seemed to intend to watch the whole process.
The group of people walked side by side toward the three elevators in the Central Building lobby. They walked toward the elevator on the far right that was marked "Step Only."
Cang Qiao stuck a card on his neck on the panel on the right side of the elevator, and the door immediately slid open with the steady sound of the bell. After everyone entered, the elevator began to ascend without any sound of movement or acceleration.
According to Kurahashi, the twelfth floor was a floor that was completely off-limits to outsiders. Therefore, once they walked out of the elevator, there was a heavily guarded door in front of them.
Kurahashi once again put the card on his neck near the scanner next to the door. He then put his palm on the panel for biological verification. The metal isolation rod lowered with a slight metallic sound, allowing everyone to pass.
With such heavy security, it could be imagined that if Kikuoka Seijiro, who represented the country, had not come here to clear the clearance for Rozen and Yasna, it would not have been easy to enter this place.
This place was also different from the other floors. There were no windows at all. The smooth white panel covered the passage and extended straight forward. Then, it was divided into two paths in front of them.
Kurahashi went to the left path, allowing everyone to pass by several nurses in white clothes. They could almost not hear any noise from the outside world as they came to a corner.
Here, on the right wall, there was an automatic door.
On the wall next to it, there was a metal panel set there.
There were words written on the door plate — "First Special Measurement and Measurement Machine Room".
Cang Qiao swiped the card through the gap under the panel.
Beep beep!
As the electronic voice sounded, the door opened.
Behind the door was a rather long and narrow room. The front wall had the same door as before, and on the right side was a console with several screens. On the left side was a large horizontal window, but the glass was black, and the interior could not be seen at all.
Cang Qiao stopped here.
"Behind this glass is an air-conditioned, sterile room. You can't get in."
Cang Qiao said.
"Now, I'll let you see the Kapok season."
With that, Cang Qiao approached the black window and manipulated the panel below.
After a few seconds, the color of the window immediately faded along with the slight vibrations, and finally became transparent glass, revealing the scene inside.
Both Rozen and Yasna saw it clearly.
Behind the glass was a room.
The room was quite spacious, but at first glance, it felt very small.
Because in the room, there were all kinds of instruments, a mix of tall, short, simple, and various complicated instruments. There was only a gel bed in the center of the room.
“.....！”
Yasna was almost stuck to the glass in an instant.
The reason was simple.
On the gel bed, a petite figure seemed to have sunk into the blue gel and was lying on it.
The white bedsheet came up to her chest.
The exposed shoulder was so thin that it was unbearable to look at it.
There were various tubes connected to the surrounding machines on her throat and arms.
A white cube that was integrated with the bed completely covered the woman's head, making it impossible to see her face. All that could be seen were her thin, bloodless lips and sharp chin.
That white cube was exactly the same as the picture Yasna saw in the car just now.
In other words, it was a fully stealthy medical machine — Medicuboid.
However, the one using this machine was a thin and pitiful girl.
That scene made Yasna's heart ache unknowingly.
Rozen's gaze also changed.
This was because the scene in front of him had more or less stimulated Rozen's painful past.
In the past, Rozen was also like this, lying in a white hospital room, connected to all kinds of equipment.
Even Matthew had collapsed after the fifth singularity. Her body had been affected, and she might still be in such a sterile room.
As a result, Rozen couldn't help but feel irritated at this scene.
And Yasna was completely sure.
"Is that Yuji?"
Yasna's eyes looked so bitter.
Yes.
That was Yuji, or rather, Kanye Kapok Season.
Yūki was only his character's name, while Kanno Kinen Ji was his real name.
And Kanno Kinen Ji was the experimenter of Medicuboid, a real dying patient.
"In May 2011, Kanno Kinen Ji's mother decided to have a cesarean section due to dystocia. Although there is no way to confirm it from the medical records, at that time, because of the accident, Kanno Kinen Ji's mother caused a lot of bleeding, so the doctor at the time decided to carry out an emergency blood transfusion to save the mother and daughter's life."
Cang Qiao started explaining without any warning.
"It's a pity, unfortunately, the blood used at that time was infected by the virus."
Kurahashi's words made Yasna couldn't help but turn her head and look at him.
"Infected blood …?"
Yasna's eyes widened.
"Yes." Cang Qiao nodded, his voice a little sorrowful as he said, "Humans usually use a blood test to confirm whether they've been infected by a certain virus, but within ten days of infection, even a nucleic acid test can't detect the existence of the virus. This period of time is called the empty window period."
"During the free window period, even if the blood provided by blood donation for transfusion is infected, there is still no way to detect it. As a result, even if the probability of being infected with the virus from a single blood transfusion is only one in a hundred thousand, it is still impossible for modern science to reduce this probability to zero."
The meaning behind his words was very obvious.
"Kanno Kinen Ji's mother misused the infected blood, and eventually caused the mother and daughter and even the whole family to be infected."
Hearing such words, Yasna's heart beat at an amazing speed.
"… Yuji … Kanno -san, what disease is it …?"
Yasna asked with a slightly hoarse voice.
Kurahashi lowered his eyes and answered.
"Acquired immune deficiency syndrome."
"It's commonly known as AIDS."
