Chapter 9 Mirror Man

May 2008, 5.Songjiang Provincial Medical University.

It is the time of spring and flowers blooming.The courtyard of this prestigious medical school in China is full of green shade, chirping birds, and full of vitality.The young students have put on light spring clothes, and they are walking on the campus in high spirits, showing off their brilliant youth to their heart's content.

Bypassing the majestic main building, walking along the Shaw Library and the teaching building to the end of the tree-lined road, there is a three-story red brick and wood building. Due to the long history of the building, the building has mottled signs of wind and rain erosion. .This is the "Red Building" dedicated to dissecting corpses and storing human organs for teachers and students of the medical school.

In the anatomy room on the second floor, 33 graduate students from the Department of Oncology gathered around a huge table, excited with tension and anticipation.Later, a fresh corpse will be dissected here.Although they have already read the seventh grade in the medical school, due to the shortage of corpses available for dissection, especially a complete and fresh corpse, it is rare for medical students, so they cherish it all the more This opportunity.

It's a pity that not everyone has the opportunity to be the chief surgeon.The lucky one selected this time is Xu Luodan, who majored in pathology.Xu Luodan was 25 years old at the time. Due to malnutrition in childhood, he was thin and small, with yellowish complexion and dull and thin hair.But this woman with a weak appearance has extraordinary fortitude and strength in her heart.Not only is she good at her homework, she has a high level of comprehension, but she also has strong nerves and steady hands, and she performs well in every classroom experiment.Teachers and students who know her have no doubt that she will become a very good doctor in the future.

The naked body has been placed on the dissecting table.Due to the treatment with formalin, the body did not emit any peculiar smell.This is a female corpse, whose face is covered with a white cloth. Judging from the loose body and the aging degree of the skin, the age should be between fifty and sixty years old.

He Kuliang, head of the tumor department, handed an autopsy knife to Xu Luodan.The whole body of the knife is silvery white, with a cold light, and the blade is so sharp that it can blow hair off.The blade is 11.6 cm long and 2.2 cm wide, which is an international general standard cadaver knife.

Xu Luodan took the autopsy knife and held the handle tightly, his thin and protruding finger joints turned white, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.

Xu Luodan looked at the female corpse in front of him, a strange feeling surged in his heart, and an inexplicable fear permeated his whole body.Her body trembled, her hands trembled, and she almost dropped the expensive autopsy knife on the ground.

He Kuliang looked at the favorite student with concern, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Luodan shook his head, took a long breath, and said to He Kuliang apologetically, "It's nothing, maybe I'm a little nervous."

The onlookers looked at each other with different eyes, some were confused and concerned, some were ridiculed and gloated.Among the crowd, the most prominent people are always inevitably envied and even disgusted.

He Kuliang encouraged her and said, "Relax, you can do it, I believe in you."

Xu Luodan nodded gratefully, took two deep breaths, held the autopsy knife firmly with his right hand, and dropped it on the midline of the corpse's chest.Like scratching through the broken leather, the skin on the chest and abdomen of the corpse cracked and turned outward without a sound, exposing the skin, fat and flesh under the surface, until a whole set of complex and delicate human organs was completely presented in front of everyone, and the onlookers There was an exclamation in unison.

Xu Luodan's hand stopped moving suddenly, trembling violently.

But no one noticed that she, including He Kuliang, was firmly attracted by the chest and abdomen organs of the corpse.What a strange sight—all the organs are reversed, the heart is on the right, the liver and gallbladder are on the left side of the abdominal cavity, and the spleen is growing on the right side of the abdominal cavity.The perfect combination of these organs, which are diametrically opposed to their normal positions, makes people sincerely admire the magic of creation.

Several students couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Mirror man!"

Yes, this is the corpse of a mirror person whose occurrence probability is one in a million. Its heart, liver, and spleen seem to be the mirror images of normal organs.It is conceivable that a normal corpse is very rare, and they were fortunate enough to witness the whole process of dissecting the mirror person, how exciting it is.

Just as everyone exclaimed in low voices, Xu Luodan's eyes were full of confusion and terror, and he felt the world spinning, and he fell to the ground slowly.The autopsy knife in his hand fell and plunged into the floor, the blade humming and trembling.

Several students came to their senses and hurriedly surrounded them.He Kuliang said: "It doesn't matter, she fainted, maybe she was overly nervous." He squatted down and tested Xu Luodan's carotid artery with his fingers, the pulse was still strong.He laid Xu Luodan's body flat, folded his hands, placed them between Xu Luodan's chest and breasts, and pressed them following the rhythm of his heart.Tens of seconds later, Xu Luodan let out a soft beep and woke up.

There are golden and white stars intertwined in front of her eyes, and the faces looking down on her are from far to near, from blurred to clear, and she gradually understands in her heart, she suddenly utters a hoarse cry: "Mom, she is my mother, I dissected it myself killed my mother!"

The onlookers were all frightened by her sudden cry and backed away again and again.He Kuliang didn't react for a moment, stared into Xu Luodan's eyes and said, "You fainted just now, you're fine now, relax, we are in class."

Xu Luodan tightly grasped He Kuliang's right arm with his skinny hands, digging his nails into his flesh: "That female corpse is my mother, I dissected my mother."

He Kuliang said in surprise: "This is the unclaimed female corpse we brought back from the execution ground. How can you say it is your mother?"

Xu Luodan's suppressed emotions burst out, and he cried loudly: "My mother is the person in the mirror. The moment I picked up the autopsy knife, I had a strange feeling. She must be my mother."
