Section 298 - Helpless
Only the Samos family knows how difficult it is to get into normal sleep after the age of 14, they have tried to use drugs to help sleep, but it is difficult to have a significant effect, as they age, drugs not only do not help sleep, but can cause organ failure, and many family members even die from drug abuse.
You can imagine that taking too much sleeping pills, unable to move, gradually losing the vitality of the five internal organs, and even the five senses are also lost, but the consciousness is awake, trapped in a dark area of ignorance, knowing that it is sliding step by step into the abyss, but there is no ability to resist, what a terrible thing it is.
Because of this, the Samos family had to rely on the way they endured the pain, forcing themselves to fall into a stupor.
Lawrence saw Li Bai point out that people were down, and thought it was a painless way to assist sleep.
“My-GOD!”
Catherine covered her mouth, and when she saw Li Bai with a flick of her fingers, she knocked over little Thomas, slumped on the seat, and seemed to have successfully fallen asleep.
Even Julian was shocked, didn't he say that hypnotism was ineffective?
How can it be so crisp and neat?
"No! Failed! Do you need to carry him back? I guess I'll have to wait a while before I wake up. ”
Li Bai shook his head, he didn't use hypnotism at all, but clicked on the other party's Baihui acupoint, and he directly stunned him, almost no different from those so-called assisted sleep.
"No, no, no, that's all, that's good!
Butler Thomas didn't blame Li Bai for knocking over his young master with a finger of his hand, but his face was excited, and he wanted to speak loudly, but he had to forcibly lower his voice.
In his opinion, the "curse" of the Samos family may be able to find a glimmer of hope in the Eastern Continent.
"Li Bai, how did you do it?"
Julian was curious, knowing that it was not easy to get the Samos family to sleep.
"Acupuncture points, in fact, are no different from sleep aids!"
Li Bai spread out his hands, and little Thomas was not asleep, but unconscious.
Coma and normal sleep that activate the body's self-protection mechanism are two different after all, normal sleep is the body's neat and consistent rest and recovery, while coma will have an impact on the central nervous system, and it will cause metabolic dysfunction for a long time, even if the coma time is equivalent to the sleep time, but the effect of the two is completely different, little Thomas's two dark circles, pale face, and cold and wet palms are naturally not strange.
Now that the Samos family's sleep aids are very proficient, the damage to the human body is much less than that of little Thomas's ancestors, who had to be knocked unconscious with sticks.
Bei, the maid who opened the door for Lawrence Butler and Li Bai, reminded unceremoniously: "Please speak softly." ”
It is her responsibility to ensure that her master can sleep peacefully.
"It's okay! ”
Li Bai stretched out his hand and slashed a few times in the air, and a soundproof barrier enveloped little Thomas's head, isolating all sounds.
Even if there was a heavy metal rock concert in the living room, the young man of the Samos family would not be able to hear it.
"Thank you!"
Lawrence butler was convinced of Li Bai's words for no reason.
"Li Bai, what did you do just now?"
Julian gestured to Li Bai's aura sigil to construct the soundproof enchantment, and he also scribbled a few times, which was not like it at all.
Oriental metaphysics has a deep understanding of nature, studies nature, and researches some special small means accordingly. ”
Li Bai's big truth is countless times more true than the most brilliant lie, and it is completely unassailable.
“......”
Orientals like to play mysteries, Julian doesn't believe it at all, he is also a magic apprentice who can rub fireball spells, in the eyes of professionals, many things that seem very magical, in fact, there are no secrets at all.
In fact, Western medicine also has such a stage as metaphysical medicine, but because of the industrial revolution and the emergence of the bourgeoisie, ancient Western medicine and modern Western medicine began to separate.
Think about the population of the West, which is all caused by quacks, and this is the greatest evidence.
Catherine couldn't stop looking Thomas up and down, hesitating to try to wake him up.
Butler Lawrence handed over a 14-inch tablet with a detailed medical record of all the members of the Samos family, dating back to three hundred years ago, which was already the information that the Samos family had collected and preserved for future generations.
In the past three hundred years, the Samos family has experienced a dark period in the rise of modern Western medicine, and the early materials are full of all kinds of unreliable and messy potions poured into the stomach, and the results are naturally conceivable.
In the darkest of the 100 years, the Samos family almost became extinct because of this, but after using animal experiments, they barely escaped, and finally survived.
Reincarnation is a technical job.
Good luck, rich second generation.
Luck is average, poor for three generations.
Unlucky children, like the Samos family, life is better than death.
Money is an egg, and $100 million can't be exchanged for a safe sleep, and the Samos family is called a short-lived family because of this "curse".
Imagine the appearance of a vampire, with a pale face, bloodshot red eyes, cold and wet skin, in addition to the legendary blood-sucking, fangs, fear of garlic, silver and sunlight, need to sleep in a coffin, and have a long lifespan, just from the outside, the Samos family has some characteristics similar to the vampire representative Dracula, no wonder it is called to have the blood of the Dracula family.
Li Bai held the tablet and looked at the medical records of the members of the Samos family for generations, from parchment scans to modern paper scans, all the way to the latest electronic documents, the closer to the present, the more detailed and huge the data files, including the diagnosis records of hundreds of top hospitals, even the Seventh People's Hospital of Huxi City does not have such good hardware and software, he does not even need to make another diagnosis, he can refer to these for evaluation and judgment.
Half an hour later, Li Bai finally raised his head and said to Lawrence Butler, "Can you give me a set of backup data?"
"Of course, no problem!"
Lawrence Butler took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Li Bai, obviously prepared, he looked very happy, because Young Master Thomas had been asleep for more than half an hour, which was a happy time for every member of the Samos family, and as the other party said, he was not awakened from beginning to end.
The size of the U disk with the metal shell is a bit large, nominal is 1T, it is obvious that the volume of the data is not small, and the Samos family does not know how many such USB flash drives have been prepared and distributed to interested doctors and experts.
Little Thomas slept soundly, and the time had completely exceeded half an hour, and it was getting closer and closer to an hour.
However, Li Bai, Julian and Catherine's afternoon meeting schedule was in vain, and they could only wait quietly for little Thomas to wake up by himself.
After about half an hour, little Thomas frowned slightly, and his body trembled slightly, and the amplitude became larger and larger.
"It's a nightmare!"
As a psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Catherine understands the hereditary psychosis of the Samos family as well as Julian, which is basically divided into three stages, the first stage is insomnia, the second stage is nightmares, and the third stage is hallucinations.
As for whether there is a fourth stage, I am afraid no one knows, many members of the Samos family have not survived the third stage, some have been tortured to death, some have been tortured to death, and some have ended their painful lives by suicide, and even many members' lives have come to an abrupt end in the second stage.
Thomas Jr. is 23 years old this year, and it is the stage when the nightmare has just begun, closing his eyes is a nightmare, coupled with the torture of insomnia, if there is no assisted sleep means of forced coma, I am afraid that life is worse than death.
"I'm going to wake up. ”
Lawrence Butler glanced at his watch with satisfaction.
One hour and thirty-five minutes, thank God!
That's a record!
"Hmm!"
Little Thomas struggled and opened his eyes, and the nightmare retreated.
He gasped for breath, his pale face was flushed with a hint of blood, but a smile appeared and he said, "Hehe, haha, it feels, it feels great, it's like being redeemed!"
Little Thomas habitually held the silver cross on his chest, looked at Li Bai gratefully, and said, "Thank God, thank you for your generosity!"
An hour's deep sleep made him refresh greatly.
"No thanks, it's just a few small tricks, and it doesn't make a substantial difference in your situation. ”
Li Bai waved his hand, and shook the opponent's Baihui acupoint with a steady breath, to a certain extent, better than those mechanical blows or electric shocks, which better protected the central nervous system, and controlled the intensity of the stimulation that caused the self-protective coma just right, although it was still not real sleep, but it was much better than before.
"No, no, no, already, enough!"
This more than an hour is enough to lighten the shackles on his body a little, and little Thomas, who is tormented by insomnia and nightmares, dares to ask for too much, but the smile on his face has not decreased by half a point.
"There's no way for now, I need to think about it. ”
Li Bai thought about it for a moment, and finally shook his head.
Defects that originate at the genetic level are the most difficult to solve, and for more than 500 years, many experts have been helpless, which is enough to prove how intractable this hereditary mental illness is, even if there are techniques and martial arts in hand, it does not mean that a solution can be found in a short time.
Presumably, the other party must have tried various things, so the general method may not work.
"I can understand!"
Not only himself, but even the Samos family has experienced hope and disappointment again and again, and little Thomas seems very calm.
The "curse" of more than 500 years is not so easy to solve.
