"Master Tong, there is a new situation from fbm. They have admitted multiple suspected patients with progressive muscular ossification in various places across Citi..."

Just as the Tianji Bureau's latest press conference on the Qing'an City disaster was about to be held, a breaking news reached Dahua City.

As a result, the headquarters base suddenly changed. This press conference was the first to change the original process and content. Li Zhenjing, Zhang Jingjing and other members of the special operations department who were planning to appear at the press conference hurried to the conference room of the operations center. Go.

Because of Tong Ye's objection, no one from the spell department was prepared to attend the press conference.

No matter Tong Ye, Lou Xiaoning, Xiao Xu, Wang Ruoxiang and other frontline soldiers, they never felt that this matter was over.

So when something bad happens, there is no surprise, but there are a lot of sighs, and I really hope that my premonition is wrong.

However, bad news came one after another through Goa, like some dominoes falling.

"Russia has admitted its first suspected patient..."

"There is a suspicious report in the UK!"

"News from Gaul, they also have doctors who have received suspected patients."

"The X-rays of these patients all had the same imaging symptoms, consistent with musculoskeletal ossification progressive disease."

"The number of suspected patients in Citi has exceeded 100. The test results of the alkaline phosphatase and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase of the first batch of patients have come out, and the levels are all abnormally elevated. This means that their osteoblasts are abnormally active, and their whole body Bone is constantly forming, which would already be diagnostic of musculoskeletal ossification progression, but the ossification occurs more rapidly in these patients."

"The epidemiological survey they conducted found that 78 of the current patients are Egyptology-related practitioners or related students..."

"The patients all have a history of contact with the 'Pyramids', including words, images, images, and ways of recalling them. Especially ordinary people who are not related to Egyptology, 100% of them have consulted information about the pyramids three days before the onset of illness, and 79% People mentioned the Pyramid of Khufu.”

"Egyptology and pyramid-related information on the Internet has been blocked to the maximum extent."

"The number of suspected patients in Citigroup exceeded 1,000, and the number in Russia exceeded 500..."

…

It has been a week since the disaster occurred, and normal operations in Qing'an City are far from being restored.

Whether it is safe here is still questionable, and a lot of investigation and prevention and control work still needs to be done, so the evacuated people cannot return home yet.

Qing'an Frontline Operation Base is located in an office building of the Tianji Branch in the urban area. In this conference room, some generals of the Qingzhe Team were sitting at the conference table to participate in the meeting. They have not left Qing'an these days and have been busy here.

Lou Xiaoning was a little irritable, Chang Qianhang looked extremely haggard, Xiaoxu remained calm and stiff, and Wang Ruoxiang and Uncle Dan, two medical students, had the heaviest expressions.

An unknown disease that is highly suspected of musculoskeletal ossification progressing has broken out in various parts of the world, and the mode of transmission is unknown. In just one day from the first case reported by fbm, there have been more than 10,000 cases worldwide. This number is still rising rapidly, and it is unknown how many patients have not been counted yet.

What is about to be held is a multi-party video conference, not only from the headquarters of Dahua Tianji, but also from many countries and departments such as Citigroup and the UK. Before this conference, there was a small meeting within their Tianji Bureau.

On the conference screen on the wall, there is Tong Ye, as well as a number of experts and professors from this medical team.

"Alkaline phosphatase and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase exceeded the normal value by 10 times."

Muscle ossification progressive (for) belongs to rheumatology in terms of disease classification. Therefore, the medical team this time is led by rheumatology expert Professor Lu Qiqing, and there are also personnel from epidemiology, orthopedic surgery, genetic diseases, etc. .

Professor Lu Qiqing has both rich clinical knowledge and cutting-edge academic research in the field of rheumatology. He is an authority on immune-mediated diseases of the musculoskeletal system, autoimmune diseases, hereditary connective tissue diseases, and many He joined the Tianji Medical Department years ago and started to come into contact with supernatural things.

"In children during the physiological skeletal development period, the alkaline phosphatase activity can be 1 to 2 times higher than that of normal people, but the average of these patients is 10 times, reaching 550-1250ul. This math is very scary, basically the entire body of the patient is It’s being converted to bone and it’s irreversible.”

Lou Xiaoning and the others were not medical students, so they could only get a general idea.

In the Qing'an conference room, only two doctors, Wang Ruoxiang and Uncle Dan, could understand what kind of horror it was...

It will not only cause ossification of the whole body, but also cause serious problems in the liver, gallbladder, blood vessels, parathyroid glands, etc., which is much more serious than for.

"We can't come up with any treatment." Professor Lu felt deeply helpless when he said this.

Even in the face of ordinary forsa, humans are currently unable to come up with any treatment methods. Today's situation is more complicated and shrouded in fog. The best way may be to get rid of the abnormal power behind it. However, They also lack strong clues to break through the situation.

However... there is a rather strange situation, I don't know whether it is good or bad, but perhaps fortunately, there are currently no such cases in their country.

This is of course a good thing, but when things go wrong, in such a world, there may be huge dangers hidden.

The Bureau of Secrets and other departments are already conducting comprehensive investigations, especially controlling and isolating experts, professors and students of Egyptology.

And we are paying close attention to a large number of practitioners to prevent any of them from the Little Ram Cult or getting sick. There is nothing unusual for the time being.

"What do you think about this question?" Tong Ye asked, "fbm they are very confused about our situation. We will have to come up with at least one guess later."

"I think it may be Shigure's role." Lou Xiaoning said this idea, which made many people nod. "Those goat heads are afraid of her and don't dare to cause trouble here."

It's just that Xiaoxu doesn't agree, "She left just as she said she would leave. She wouldn't protect us secretly, unlike her."

"Let's first tell those people at fbm that this is possible." Tong Ye settled, "Shigure or not, her contribution has been huge."

Perhaps it was because of the protection of an unknown force that none of them fell ill, and even the test results performed by Chang Qianhang were normal.

The disease this time is likely to be the "petrified disease", and its mode of disease is likely to be the "pyramid", which reminds them of the nightmare disease. Last time, the nightmare disease also caused spread within the Dongzhou Tianji Bureau, and the final sacrifice was huge. They all have to be careful, but they all know what a pyramid is and have a history of contact with it recently.

The most worrying thing at the moment is Chang Qianhang, who murmurs strangely from time to time: "Don't think about the pyramid, don't understand it..."

Love the Plague Doctor.
