The Truth Is Only One
Medical Center.
In the corridor.
The commotion was so big that it had already attracted the attention of countless onlookers.
Especially George's highly ambiguous shout.
This made the onlookers' gazes even more meaningful.
"What's going on?"
"George has been infected with Charm Poison by Alex ~"
"What? You're kidding, right?"
"The most common way Charm Poison are transmitted is through unprotected sexual contact. George was infected by Alex, which means..."
"Hmm, now you understand, right? What kind of protection do they need? It's definitely unprotected, indescribable things!"
Otherwise, why do you think that despite the existence of true love among gay men, their promiscuity and gonorrhea infection rates are far higher than those of heterosexual men and women?
"Hehe, Durex. If everyone followed their example, all these manufacturers would Durex bankrupt."
"Hahaha."
"We all know George is gay, but Alex? I never would have guessed!"
"What's so strange about that? Alex Playboy who's always been indiscriminate in his relationships, with no preference for either men or women. If he wants to try, does George dare to resist?"
"I think it's normal too. Alex was originally punished to work as a latrine cleaner for a week, but now it's been extended to two or three weeks, and it seems like it will continue indefinitely. Don't you guys find that strange?"
"What do you mean? He was punished because he repeatedly offended Dr. Burke."
"That's normal thinking, or rather, that's what Alex wants you to think. Considering what's happening now, the truth becomes clear!"
"You mean, Alex has taken a liking to the job of a latrine cleaner, and that's why he deliberately provoked Dr. Burke to prolong his punishment?"
"Puff!"
"Don't laugh, and if you do laugh, don't spit it out in my face!"
"I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it."
"..."
"Don't be surprised, perhaps the first punishment was unintentional."
But what happens after that?
Unless you're an idiot, or genuinely enjoy doing this.
Otherwise, I really can't understand how a mere intern could dare to offend Dr. Burke again and again.
"How dare they!"
"Yes, he's definitely not stupid, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become a doctor."
So what is he after?
Knowing full well that doing so would offend Dr. Burke and bring punishment upon him, he still did it time and time again...
"So, if we peel back the layers, combine all the evidence, and eliminate other answers, no matter how absurd or ridiculous the remaining answer may be, there is only one truth: he likes being a septic tank cleaner, he went from being heterosexual to mixed-orientation, and now he has plunged headlong into being a true gay man with no turning back."
Or rather, this is the real Alex. Initially, like many unclosed individuals, he was afraid to face the truth. Now, he is free and has chosen to bravely confront his true self.
"Hiss, it seems that's really the case."
"Impressive! Your logical reasoning is so strong. You could totally go into general diagnosis in the future. Maybe you'll become another Dr. House."
"Hehe, it's nothing. I just did a quick deduction. It's not difficult at all. But the evidence is right there in the open. It's too glaring. I can't pretend I don't see it."
"..."
George roared, and a group of logical geniuses managed to deduce the 'only truth' from him.
Alex's inner journey and the love-hate relationship between him and George are constantly being revealed through gossip.
The sages of the East bestowed the Eight Trigrams to calculate the universe, but when it came to this place, it was used by a bunch of onlookers to decipher 'freedom and love,' which is quite lamentable.
"Asshole!"
Alex was already on fire, and now the gossip around him was not 'quiet' enough, clearly reaching his ears. He couldn't hold back any longer, clenched his fists, and charged forward.
"Step back, Alex!"
Adam extended his palm, as if to stop.
"Go to hell!"
When Alex saw Adam trying to stop him, he threw a punch at Adam's face.
Compared to George, who punched him.
He hated that face even more!
Utterly disgusting!
"Ah!"
"Dr. Duncan, watch out!"
After Alex switched targets, a group of female onlookers immediately gasped in surprise.
The unified shouts instantly killed the male onlookers' enjoyment of the spectacle.
Does it have to be so uniform?
Do you think you're cheerleaders?
"Give him a good punch."
"Yes, just punch him in the face!"
"He was still smiling at them, that's too much."
"Still trying to show off? Give me a good beating!"
"Even plastic surgeons can't fix it now. Let's see if they're still so infatuated then!"
As the group of male onlookers exchanged glances, they found themselves, for the same purpose and goal, suddenly engaged in a silent exchange of glances.
It was full of malice towards Adam.
Adam actually fully understood their resentment.
Nine years have passed since I transmigrated, and I'm used to it by now.
Yes!
In this critical moment, with a fist about to strike, Adam not only had the composure to return a bright smile to his female colleagues who supported him, but also the leisure to observe the inner thoughts of his male colleagues.
Nothing more!
Alex's punches are too slow!
When Adam's IQ exceeded 180 and he was promoted to a super genius, there was a moment when he felt that the world slowed down in his eyes, but he quickly recovered.
He didn't take it seriously at first.
But now he understands that it wasn't an illusion.
His perception has indeed increased significantly.
Moreover, when he concentrates his mind, whether actively or passively, his thinking speeds up, and combined with his already superior reaction speed, it creates a Bullet Time -like effect.
It wasn't that Alex's punches were slow, but that Adam's thinking was too fast.
In the Big Bang Theory, Rajesh's treasure hunt presents puzzles that would take even geniuses a while to solve, but the super genius Sheldon can get the answer with just a glance.
Why?
It's simply because Sheldon's brain works too fast.
Without such a fast and powerful brain, how can one mentally construct the Big Bang Theory?
Adam's brain's basic hardware is now on par with Sheldon's.
Moreover, his muscle speed is far superior to Sheldon's, who can simply open the door, take a deep breath, and go back inside, feeling like he's already out exercising.
Of course, even if Adam can see the trajectory of a bullet with his current abilities, he still cannot truly dodge it due to his speed limitations.
Unless it can be seen and reacted to before the bullet is fired.
But Alex's fist was clearly not a bullet fired at high speed.
This kind of attack, which is within the range of normal human speed, is far too slow for Adam, who can try to dodge bullets to some extent.
"I was just trying to mediate."
Adam smiled and turned to the side, narrowly avoiding Alex's punch, not forgetting to tease, "Why do you even hit the one trying to break up the fight?"
"That's exactly what I'm going to do!"
Alex missed his first punch, then threw another, which also missed.
Seeing Adam's smiling face so close to his, Alex grew even angrier. Ignoring the bewildered George, he attacked Adam relentlessly like a madman.
However, they didn't even touch the hem of her clothes.
What are you doing?
At this moment, the hospital's boss was also alerted, and Dr. Burke arrived.
"Stop!"
Alex was a bit carried away and completely ignored him.
"Dr. Burke said to stop!"
Adam dodged another attack from Alex, then reached out and pressed his hand against Alex's back, pinning Alex firmly against the wall.
"What happened?"
"Dr. Burke asked with a dark expression."
Adam recounted the events, and several female colleagues chimed in with their comments and additions. Dr. Burke immediately understood the whole story.
It's you again!
Dr. Burke stared intently at Alex was pinned against the wall.
He never imagined that this scandal in the surgery department, or rather the entire hospital, might very well have been triggered by Alex.
Previously, he had suggested to the Chief of Surgery that Alex be asked to leave the hospital, but the Chief of Surgery refused.
Now, he wanted to see what the Chief of Surgery would do after being disgraced by the scandal.
Thinking of this, Dr. Burke gave Alex a cold smile.
