Chapter 358: The dangerous game (2)
Mingshen stared at the patient before him, Li Bao, Beiye’s brother. He alternated his gaze between him and his charts, tilting his head.
Li Bao laid still on the bed. His vegetative state was starting to make him look a older than he was.
"Clearly, the prefrontal cortex here that controls decision-making abilities is severely affected," he said while looking at the latest scan.
"It matches with the information that you got," he eyed Huojin. "That his behavior started to change and became more agitated. The brain is all lit up and not in a good way. Personality changes."
Jia was dumbfounded. "I mean...I know kids can get too obsessed with games and all but, can it really cause personality changes? Isn’t it a little far-fetched? How does a game do that anyway?"
"All sorts of things are possible today, Spicy. The code which that woman found is a part of it."
Huojin slowly said, "Remember how I said Li Beiye was starting to get headaches? I think this is related to that."
"But if this game is so dangerous, then why is it out in the market?" Jia couldn’t fathom.
"How many cases of comatose teens or players in general have you heard of?" Huojin asked back.
The answer was none. Li Bao was the first case she had heard of such an unnatural comatose condition.
"That’s because we didn’t search for such cases. Who said that Li Bao could be the only case? Hundreds of people are playing this game. There ought to be more cases."
