Chapter 76 Visit
[Pluto City]
The most remote city.
Compared to the population of Jupiter City, which is only 2/3, the infrastructure and public security of the entire city are much worse. The architectural style and urban culture are also very different. There are very few immigrants from China living there. here.
However,
Since the city is close to the edge of the country, the impact of [corners] here is also the smallest among all cities, and the proportion of thinking corners is the lowest in the country.
There are four entire mental hospitals in the city for this very reason.
In addition to admitting patients suffering from mental illness, these hospitals are also responsible for controlling the group of people who wander around the edges of corners, who may form thinking corners in the brain at any time.
In addition, there are also many early-stage dummies who are less than three months old and have not yet developed concrete fears. They are discovered during psychological screening and are also detained in the critical area.
The Research Bureau, which stands for the letter [A], also has a large number of branches in this city, and the number of researchers is more than twice that of Jupiter City.
As the frequency of the formation of "thinking corners" across the country increases year by year and becomes harder to detect, the mental testing of citizens has become more stringent, and more and more patients are transported every month.
Not long ago, a large sum of money was spent to build a larger "Fifth Hospital" on the edge of the city, and staff were recruited across the country.
After passing the city inspection, a black car drove straight to the newly built Fifth Hospital, which was built less than half a year ago.
The hospital is arranged in a [three] shape, that is, three buildings are arranged in parallel.
The first row is the comprehensive building, which houses the doctors' offices, archives, pharmacy, etc. The Research Branch also has a department located here.
The second row of buildings is the general area. Some patients who are considered to be in good condition, have the ability to take care of themselves, and can obey the doctors' management, and who are not a threat themselves, will be placed here.
The deepest red-brick row building belongs to the critical area, which adopts a management form that is almost like a prison, and houses the early-stage dummies who are in bad condition and difficult to control.
The blond man stepping out of the black car is nearly 1.9 meters tall. A decent and expensive suit sets off an almost perfect figure.
As he walked into the hospital, after showing his ID at the nurse's front desk, an attending physician came downstairs to greet him personally.
"Mr. Luofei, it's rare that you come to us from Jupiter City. In fact, you can apply for online processing for such a simple matter."
"Can we meet now?"
"Of course, but the patient's current condition is not stable and he was transferred to the critical area two weeks ago.
So your request for meeting needs to be changed. , I’m afraid it can’t be arranged outdoors or in a public area. You need to go to the area dedicated to meeting in the critical care building. There will be a partition to separate you.”
Luo Fei was obviously dissatisfied with this situation, and his face changed instantly. , even the surrounding lights began to flicker.
“Do you think a patient can threaten me? Or do you think my lack of personal ability may cause the patient to escape? Or allow him to cause riots?”
The attending doctor also immediately made a compromise, "This... this is also the policy of the hospital. Okay, let's arrange for you to meet in the activity area of the critical area, but the patient himself will need to wear some restraints."
" Well."
"Follow me."
Luo Fei was also very curious. After all, when he made an appointment to visit a month ago, the situation he got from the phone was relatively stable.
"Why was he transferred to the critical ward? What did he commit? Did he attack medical staff?"
The doctor leading the way patiently explained: "There is no attack, it's just that he always doesn't abide by the hospital's rules and often leaves the ward during non-activity hours.
Furthermore, nurses and patrolling security guards are often approached. Or the patient, saying some weird things , some languages we can’t understand.”
“Not a language on Earth?”
“No.”
“He just left the ward, or did he want to. A trend to escape the hospital? ”
"I just left his ward. I didn't want to escape from the Fifth Hospital."
"From what you said, the situation is not particularly serious, right? A little supervision and restraint will be enough, right? ?”
“That’s right. Two weeks ago, he still easily left the ward despite being restrained and supervised, and went to the intensive care unit without everyone’s sight. District, and even released a very dangerous patient, and even had a forced chat with the patient.
Fortunately, the patient was too frightened to escape, and returned to the ward honestly afterwards. .
This incident attracted great attention from the hospital, and it was finally decided to put him in the critical area and strictly restrict his movements. ”
"Yeah."
Luo Fei came to the last building of the Fifth Hospital.
It was obviously the Fifth Hospital that had just been established less than half a year ago, but this building felt deliberately old-fashioned. ,
The red bricks are covered with various plants, and the arched windows are made of rough glass and densely arranged with steel bars, making it gloomy and depressing.
Although the building looks depressing, the interior lighting is still very sufficient, and there are well-paid and armed security guards patrolling the interior.
"The activity room is here, please wait here for a moment."
The activity room in the critical illness area is located on the first floor, surrounded by a completely enclosed barbed wire fence, and surrounded by cameras. There are only some metal tables and chairs welded to the ground inside the activity room, and a few classic books that have been torn out are placed on the table.
Luo Fei didn't say much. It was already good to have such an area in the critical area.
The critical area of most mental hospitals is basically a fully closed prison. In the early stages, the dummies will not stay there for too long and will be transferred every few months.
I didn’t wait long,
There was a sound of metal shackles clashing,
Accompanied by the attending doctor and two security guards, a patient wearing a white corset was brought in , sat opposite Luo Fei.
Luo Fei waved his arm directly towards the doctor, "You can go, and don't leave anyone at the door."
"Mr. Luo Fei, please try to keep the communication time to one Within hours. We won’t bother you. If you have any questions, just wave to any camera.”
"Yeah."
With the departure of the attending physician and the security guard,
there were only two people left in the activity room,
it was him who sat opposite Luo Fei A running friend he once met is also a young man he values very much.
Luo Di,
The empty left sleeve is particularly conspicuous.
Compared with his bright eyes and clean and young face,
now Luo Di feels more than ten years older. There is still unshaved stubble on the upper and lower lips.
The eyes are also completely absent-minded. Even when meeting an acquaintance, they cannot focus and just stare blindly at the table.
Luo Fei seemed to see something,
He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers in the air.
Pop!
For a time, the lighting devices in this area began to flicker, and all cameras were interfered with and unable to capture normal images.
The attending doctor and the security guard who had just left not long ago turned back immediately, but were asked out by Luo Fei's look.
With the absence of any "snooping" in this area, Luo Di's eyes gradually returned to their original state, even more lively than before.
"Luo Di, I came here specially this time because my company decided to recruit you. But from the description of the attending doctor, your current condition does not seem to be quite right.
This special recruitment only requires As long as your mind is basically stable, you don’t even need to issue a complete discharge letter Prove it, and you can go back to Jupiter City directly."
"I don't want to go out for the time being."
"Huh? You didn't seem to like it at all two months ago. ”
“I like it now”
"Is that so?"
Luo Fei saw the problem but did not delve into it. His purpose was just to bring Roddy out as soon as possible. It was a pity that such a talent was locked up here.
“Then how long do you plan to stay in the critical area?”
“A month? I’m not sure either.”
“We’ll talk about the special recruitment later. Well, is there anything I can do to help? ”
"Let the hospital double the daily dose of medicine given to me."
Luo Fei paused for a moment, but still nodded in agreement and continued to ask: "I don't need anything in life or spirit to pass the time. ?”
“If there are any recommended books? You can send me a few copies.”
“Okay, I will arrange it.
In addition, I need to ask you again about your left hand. You can go directly to Pluto City. Do you need to install a prosthetic limb for you in the hospital? ”
"No."
"That's it. It seems like you still have a lot of things to be busy with. Let's meet again after you finish all these things.
Remember even if it's You need to maintain sufficient intensity of exercise in the hospital, and I don’t need to remind you about this.”
The long-distance meeting ended in just a few words.
For Luo Fei, as long as Roddy's status is determined, the goal has been achieved.
Moreover, for some reason, Luo Fei could feel an inexplicable heat even though the air conditioner was always running.
