Chapter 70: Shock Therapy
Zzz~
A slender silver needle glinted in Qin Si's left hand, while her right hand held an instrument for sterilization.
"To think I have to waste a chance to use the 'Vermilion Bird' for a filthy, disgusting woman like you."
Qin Si frowned.
She picked up an apparatus from the table and roughly implanted electrodes into the left side of Cao Xia's neck.
Pressing the switch, pulses of electrical current surged directly into Cao Xia's neck.
Cao Xia's eyes flew open, her mouth twisted as she screamed in agony.
Qin Si kept pressing the switch.
Cao Xia's body trembled incessantly.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Cao Xia's body began to jolt violently.
Her neck contorted continuously, her expression one of extreme pain.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Her body bounced into the air and crashed onto the floor.
Qin Si ceased pressing the switch.
Cao Xia struggled to climb up, crookedly sitting in the chair, no longer carrying herself as she did before.
"That was to help you relieve stress, for mental and physical relaxation. How are you feeling? Isn't your entire body and mind open now?"
"You broke one of your mother's ribs, didn't you? She was in the hospital and you didn't even visit! What kind of person are you?"
"I despise those who are unfilial to their parents the most!"
Qin Si's face was expressionless.
"Also, why did you buy items from the supermarket but refused to pay? When the clerk asked you to pay, you attacked him instead."
"You are ruthless to your parents and strangers alike."
Cao Xia's hair was disheveled, her breathing unsteady, she rolled her eyes and said:
"What does their life or death have to do with me? I don't care about them! I only want to look after myself!"
"Then why do you still ask them for money?"
"They raised me, so they have to take care of me. If they don't give it, they deserve a beating."
Cao Xia kicked the chair:
"What kind of place is this hospital? Making my whole body hurt."
"Didn't the doctor diagnose me with a mental illness? So even if I kill someone, it's not against the law. Even if I beat my parents to death, I wouldn't have to take responsibility. If they were dead, that would be great. I would get all their property, the house would also be mine. I haven't hit hard enough!"
"And if you dare to hit me, that's intentional harm, I'll sue you, ensure you can't be the most beautiful nurse."
Cao Xia supported her body, mouth crooked, eyes twisted, roaring angrily, then cried out in pain again.
Qin Si remained expressionless, skillfully picking up an electromagnetic head.
Woooo~
The electromagnetic head fiercely struck the left side of Cao Xia's head.
Turned up to the maximum speed, faster than punching a sandbag.
Cao Xia's mouth started twitching, and a large bump rose then subsided on the left side of her head.
"Remember, I'm treating you."
"You have a mental problem, suffering from delusions, and a characteristic of delusions is the tendency to misunderstand others' actions."
"Your condition is really severe now, you're deluding even the most normal treatments. You must receive good treatment to return to normal. If you keep deluding, then you'll receive more of such stimulation."
"This is the hospital's latest transcranial magnetic stimulation, with powerful currents and strong stimulation. It can adequately stimulate brain nerve activity. With this, it can improve your mental symptoms. Do you feel the current is enough and intense? If not, you can ask for more, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Qin Si said lightly.
Cao Xia's pupils widened, the whites of her eyes nearly turning out, yet she couldn't utter a sound.
Qin Si turned off the power.
"Patient Cao Xia, how do you feel after the treatment just now?"
Cao Xia's face was drenched in sweat:
"My head aches a bit, is this a normal reaction?"
"Yes, this indicates that your brain has received a certain degree of electrical stimulation, causing some local rebooting of your amygdala.
"However, the effect isn't quite satisfactory yet."
"But don't worry, take your time. You must follow the doctor's advice."
Cao Xia nodded blankly.
Qin Si adjusted her gloves, ignoring the trembling of Cao Xia's head.
"You've been cursing since the afternoon, it's evident your emotions are too unstable."
"The upcoming treatment mainly helps stabilize your emotional state and reduce abnormal thinking patterns."
Qin Si picked up a syringe, shook it, and then drew out a solution.
Hiss hiss hiss~
The solution was slowly drawn into the syringe.
Qin Si bent over, remaining expressionless, and lifted Cao Xia's collar.
Cao Xia's eyes filled with terror, her head shaking violently.
Qin Si gazed coldly at Cao Xia, slowly inserting the needle into the subcutaneous tissue of her head.
As the liquid was injected, Cao Xia's upper body became locally anesthetized.
Qin Si picked up a small knife, making a tiny incision along the left side of Cao Xia's head.
Immediately, a wire was inserted through the incision.
It penetrated deep into Cao Xia's brain, directly striking the left amygdala.
The other end of the wire was connected to a battery box.
After pressing the switch, the wire discharged electric current, stimulating Cao Xia's brain.
The current wasn't strong enough!
Qin Si turned the switch to the highest setting, stringing together three battery boxes.
Hiss hiss hiss!
The wire thrashed about, akin to an electric eel, stimulating Cao Xia's nerves.
Cao Xia's eyes rolled completely back, her tongue extended, her mouth twitching.
Qin Si watched the battery box.
The intense current would only stimulate the internal part of Cao Xia's brain, leaving no visible damage externally.
There was no bleeding from Cao Xia's body, nor were there any bruises or abrasion marks.
Hiss hiss hiss!
Qin Si added two more battery boxes.
Five connected battery boxes pushed the current intensity to its limit.
The wire, like a snake spitting its tongue, gnawed at Cao Xia's amygdala area.
The current halted.
The rage in Cao Xia's eyes had dissipated.
She sat docilely in the chair, like a lamb to the slaughter, her eyes hollow, her limbs slightly trembling.
"Patient Cao Xia, today's treatment is over. You should return to your room to rest."
"The nurse will verify your billing information with you, and you need to make timely payments to avoid disrupting the hospital's normal processes."
Cao Xia staggered out of the treatment room.
Qin Si removed her gloves, tossing them into the trashcan.
"Truly repulsive."
Qin Si exited the treatment room and entered her private office.
Tick-tock~
The door opened gently.
Without turning, Qin Si knew only one person had the office door code.
A soft body leaned in, wrapping around her waist.
"You're working late again? Always so diligent, yet what have you gained from it?"
"For a woman like that, hardly worthwhile."
The voice carried sweet words, causing a thrilling quiver in the heart.
Qin Si grasped those soft hands, exploring them:
"Darling. I'm going to start taking action."
