Witch containment diary

At the Kasuga Medical Center in New Tokyo, many of the soldiers who participated in the decisive battle on the summit of Mount Kagurura last year were suffering from PTSD and were in a very unstable state.

"We actually saw the devil!"

"The devil turned the mountain into a maze, and it's impossible to walk through..."

"——Big devil! A big bug-like devil with countless arms. It ate many people! It kept killing! We couldn't stop it at all..." Retired soldiers with mental disabilities often screamed, cried or Whispering, in a state of abandonment.

"These soldiers are crazy."

"The battlefield is not as scary as they say. The defeat of the demons by the human defense plan is very glorious. They look like deserters, or the least determined people in the army."

"Until the aid funds are allocated, I'm afraid they will have to stay here..." The nurses felt helpless with these soldiers. They were immersed in the nightmare of the decisive battle on Mount Kaguraku day and night and could not extricate themselves.

"Look, that's it." Reio arrived with Sayuri wearing a brand new nurse uniform.

"...Can it be done..." Under the guidance of her mother's words and deeds, Sayuri also understood the basic principles of hospital and nursing work. But this time she had to focus and not mess up.

"We are members of the Witch Countermeasures Bureau and are here to participate in social work." Reio explained and showed his ID. Sayuri was able to enter the ward.

The smell of Ruoyouruowu's blood whetted her appetite. Zhang Su said that many cases of blood thirst were hallucinations, but Sayuri really needed a regular supply of large amounts of blood to regain her energy. She was very grateful to Reiyo for giving her such an opportunity.

"Everyone accept the examination and receive mental treatment..." Sayuri asked the soldiers to be calm. The soldiers who retreated from the front line against the demons were given extra care. Sayuri suspected that the authorities did not want these people to talk nonsense and affect the recruitment of new recruits. morale.

But how pitiful they are. Sayuri sighed secretly. They are all people who have made sacrifices to protect the world and defend their homeland. Now the interference of the devil is deeply embedded in their minds, making their minds full of holes and making it even more difficult to return to society.

"I will use the 'sincere' magic power for healing purposes, hoping to make you feel calm." Lian Yang raised her hand and began to channel the power.

She approached one of the soldiers, who was tall, thick-set, with messy hair. He was wearing a hospital gown and had the most terrifying appearance and behavior. The original nurses did not dare to get along with him.

"What do you want to do!" the strong soldier yelled.

"'Look, a witch, the situation is favorable to us.' Isn't this what everyone loves to hear?" Lian Yang was persuasive.

When the soldier heard this, he became calmer. Reio spreads the magic of sincerity, enters the other person's soul, and peels out the true thoughts.

"Legion Commander Nazmi released a huge explosion before he died, instantly blowing up everyone around you. Only you survive..." Reio closed her eyes to guide the thoughts and memories in the other person's heart, and Sayuri protected her from the other irritated soldiers who acted impulsively.

"Ah - the battalion commander, Maeda, Cruz...and Second Lieutenant Assi, a true warrior among men, no one can defeat him, many demons were stopped by him alone! But they were blown to pieces , no bones left! We followed Master Akazawa Yoshie to the top of the mountain, but in the end only I survived. How is this possible! Are we destined to be sacrificed?" the soldier recalled painfully.

Other soldiers who were deeply stimulated by the trauma of the war also showed signs of pain. Sayuri is shocked and wants to stop it, but discovers that Reio is able to slowly take advantage of the situation and simultaneously dissect and reveal the complex mental activities of many people.

"The most painful thing is not witnessing the death of your companions, but... realizing the meaninglessness of the death of a small person." Reio said slowly, "You subconsciously discovered that the decisive battle on Mount Kagurura was completed by heroes, and you The meaning of existence is to serve as a stepping stone and cannon fodder, applaud when the hero plays a role, and show shock when the enemy appears. You are deeply aware of your own insignificance, so small that even death cannot sublimate the meaning of a soldier."

They felt the same and sighed sadly.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Reio turned to look at Sayuri, "You should all feel the same way as a 'little person'."

"Eh? Me?" Sayuri pondered, but she thought hard, tried hard to refute the immature thoughts in her mind, trying to weave them into a smooth conclusion, "I was also an insignificant person before entering the hospital. , but I feel...even if you just complete the things you are assigned to do, you will feel very satisfied, just like feeding animals, it may sound stupid, but you will be very happy after you finish it."

"Business matters..." they thought thoughtfully.

"Yes, everyone, when the Human Defense Plan recruited you, we did not specifically classify you as 'heroes', or treat you as extremely powerful combatants. You just joined the Human Defense Plan as ordinary soldiers, and played the role of soldiers on the front line. That's enough." Lian Yang observes their sincerity, so that she can find some things in their hearts that they really don't want to face.

"Have we really tried our best..."

"If we can only be saved by great people and powerful witches, then what's the point of fighting the devil..." They hesitated.

"Please rest assured, it can be said that you are already worthy of your status. Just like the wise saying we love: the smaller the ability, the smaller the responsibility." Lian Yang said.

This makes people resonate more. She saw many soldiers' wounds tend to heal in their hearts. Their attitude was no longer as crazy and radical as before, and the soldiers' ward under special care had never been so calm.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me if I did something wrong." Sayuri nodded repeatedly, and then began to clean the room, change medicines, practice injections and intravenous drip bottles, and change bedding for patients under the leadership of a senior nurse , start trying all the things a nurse should do.

"Very talented." The nurses were very happy to see someone willing to volunteer to help. "New Tokyo always has more patients and less medical care. Especially a national public hospital like ours cannot cope with high wages and high prices. Private hospitals compete for manpower, but if there are private hospitals everywhere, everyone will have to spend much more money than now. I hope Mihashi Yu will not be elected prime minister."

"Thank you. As long as I can... help, I will feel more at ease." Sayuri bowed repeatedly. She found that this dilapidated ward had become clean and tidy little by little through her own efforts. The disabled soldiers had their own places, and Sayuri herself felt very satisfied.

"Only in a place that is short of people and operated by the public can public-to-public cooperation be carried out in the name of the Countermeasures Bureau... The relationship between the human defense plan and the country is really complicated." Lian Yang thought thoughtfully.

After leaving the Kasuga Medical Center, Reio and Sayuri met at the door, and Sayuri was a little excited.

"I just feel that this place is better than school, and I should be in a place like this." Sayuri murmured, "Taking care of everyone is like taking care of animals in a small zoo."

"The human mind is more complicated than a chicken." Lian Yang smiled, "I guess you need this now."

She took out a plasma bag and handed it to Sayuri.

"Blood!" Sayuri quickly opened the bag and drank freely. Being able to drink more human blood was a great enjoyment for her.

"In order to carry out the plan in New Tokyo, I need manpower and powerful magic power. Well... this hospital can provide the blood you need. In addition, you have to train your magic power. I want to make you stronger." Reio thought.

"Exercise? Blood magic seems to be a very useful magic, but I haven't tried it yet. My mother told me to be careful." Sayuri said.

"By the way, you met a lot of annoying people in that school before." Reio said, "Let's try to kill them."
