Chapter 227 Do you think I guessed it right?
Xia Xiu walked slowly along the corridor. When he appeared, many patients, doctors and nurses in the corridor focused their attention on him, and he responded to these people. He gave an unusually bright smile. The patient was indifferent to his smile, while the doctor and the nurse looked at him with frowning eyebrows.
Never before has a patient coming out of Room 101 been able to maintain such a bright smile.
They turned their vigilant eyes to the number plate on the chest of the blond young man. When they found that the plate said "good" status, many people relaxed their frowns, while some people still maintained their frowns. alert.
The blond young man stared back at these people indifferently.
Just as Xia Xiu and the doctors and nurses were staring at each other, a white intelligent machine floated in front of him.
The overall shape of this smart machine is very cute. Its body shows smooth curves full of futuristic feeling. It is painted with bright white paint. The face uses a large prototype display. On the display is A pair of blue eyes, bright and full of cuteness, look like two crystal sapphires.
Under the machine eye is a human-like machine mouth. It can smoothly simulate various human expressions and make smooth and beautiful sounds. The mechanical arms and legs are designed to be very flexible. It seems to be made up of countless independent small pieces, which can move flexibly and freely to achieve various actions and operations. Every detail of the entire machine is designed to be very delicate and full of mechanical texture.
[BK-201, welcome to the [Institute of Truth], a big family that helps each other. I am [Cocoa], the mascot here. My existence is to serve you. If you need it, you can call my name and I will do my best to help you. 】
The extremely cute Shotayin came out from [Kokoa]. When it speaks, it especially likes to add the word "La" to every sentence to look cute.
Xia Xiu stopped, his golden eyes glanced up and down at the white intelligent machine, and then sighed:
"The Institute of Truth is really advanced and unusual."
[Yes, [The Institute of Truth] is the most advanced mental sanatorium in the entire world! 】
【(*^▽^*)】
Looking at [Kokoya] who showed a happy expression, the corners of the blond young man’s mouth also turned up happily, and he faced [Kokoya] ] said:
"Do you really do your best to help me with anything?"
[Of course not, I have a bottom line! I'm not going to help you break out of jail, that's what every new patient likes to ask me. 】
【(〃'▽'〃)】
"Don't worry, I won't make any particularly excessive demands." ’s mechanical head and promised it that he would not make any unreasonable demands.
The index finger of his right hand was swinging, touching [Kokoya]'s round mechanical chin as if teasing a puppy's chin.
"When you see me in the future, just bark like a dog."
[(︿)]
"When I see you, I think of the dog I raised. He is also as vain as you. Jingjing, well-behaved and obedient. Now I am too far away from him, and I hope you can play him, so that you can fill the void in my heart." Xia Xiu wiped the non-existent tears from his eyes with a pretentious expression.
【⊙︿⊙】
"Aren't you willing to do this for me? Aren't we a family that we promised to help each other?" Xia Xiu continued to speak in a contrived tone [ Cocoa] said.
At this time, many patients looked at [Kokoa], and the blond young man also looked at it expectantly, and the scene became very quiet for a while.
【⊙﹏⊙】
The blond young man blinked his eyes and looked at it expectantly.
【······】
The other patients stared at it intently.
【···Wow~】
“Good dog, good dog.”
“Come on, bark a few more times and let me hear it.”
Xia Xiu looked satisfied. He stretched out his hand and patted [Kokoa] vigorously, while many nearby patients couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud. Many patients even specially surrounded [Kokoa], waiting expectantly for it to continue. The dog barks.
“What are you people doing!!!”
A sharp sound sounded. Many patients surrounding Xia Xiu and [Kokoya] couldn't help but tremble when they heard the sound. Xia Xiu, on the other hand, looked at the speaker above. The sound came from the speaker. It came from inside. " It’s almost time to take medicine. Everyone should go to the drug management office in front of me on time to find the administrator to take the medicine.”
After hearing the words of the female voice on the loudspeaker, everyone walked towards the drug management office consciously. Go, and Xia Xiu naturally followed the crowd to the so-called drug management office. The voice on the loudspeaker was probably the so-called head nurse, and he was not going to confront the head nurse yet.
Although he can be forced to wake up from his dream at any time, if he wakes up this time, it will be difficult to enter the dream again next time. If he is kicked out this time, with Atliff's Be cautious, she will definitely close most of the dream entrances and sacrifice some dream computing resources in exchange for safety.
Xia Xiu's purpose in entering the dream was not only to find Atliff's master, but also to use the power of the angels of heaven to stir things up... his subjective initiative, he wanted to add some spice to this dream. If he could play it, That's even better.
When Xia Xiu consciously queued up to follow these patients to receive medicine, the camera also rotated for a while. After confirming that Xia Xiu was really queuing honestly, the camera returned to its original random rotation mode. [Kokoa], who stayed in place, turned her head 360 degrees and then continued her work.
············
Drug Management Division.
Patients wearing uniform hospital uniforms lined up in an orderly manner. Every patient here has a different face, some are heavy-faced, some are dumbfounded, some are irritable, and some look... At a loss.
"Next, BK-028."
"Here, take the medicine."
"Juice or water."
"Okay, open your mouth."
< br>"No problem, next one."
The nurses handed out the medicines expressionlessly, repeating the same words over and over again.
Under the influence of drugs, some of the patients were drowsy, some were meditating, some were fidgeting with their fingers, and some were still looking ahead blankly, as if they were already confused about their situation. Numb. The entire drug administration process seemed lifeless, as if the patients' thoughts and feelings had been turned into a mechanical program without any personality or independence.
Soon, it was Xia Xiu’s turn. "Next, BK-201."
The nurse continued to read the names on the list expressionlessly. After she finished reading, the blond young man standing behind her of moving forward.
"Here, here is the medicine."
The nurse handed Xia Xiu a white lid containing the medicine, and then pointed to two transparent cups on the table nearby: one cup contained water, and the other The cup contains juice.
"Juice or water?" the nurse asked Xia Xiu.
Xia Xiu naturally took the white lid, put the white pill inside directly into his mouth, and then picked up the juice.
"Of course I chose the juice." Xia Xiu smiled at the nurse, then put the cup to his lips, raised his neck, and drank the juice in a big gulp.
Soon, the juice was finished. Xia Xiu slowly put down the juice cup, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
“The juice is delicious.”
Xia Xiu turned the empty juice glass upside down. Not a drop of excess liquid dripped out, and then he opened his mouth and moved his tongue flexibly to ensure that he had swallowed the medicine.
After drinking the medicine, it is time for social activities. Patients during this time can participate in various social activities organized in the hospital, including group chats, cultural courses, entertainment activities, etc.
Xia Xiu naturally wandered around inside the [Institution of Truth].
The internal environment of the [Institution of Truth] is extremely monotonous, with no decoration on the gray walls and it looks very deserted. When you walk into the wards, you can see neatly arranged beds, and there are at least one to three patients in each ward. , they lay there quietly, their eyes full of numbness; the light in the ward was very dim, making people feel depressed and gloomy.
The air in the hospital is filled with the smell of medicine, with a pungent smell that makes people frown. In the ward marked [Control], coughs and slight moans came from time to time, which made people feel upset and unable to rest.
When you come to the corridor, you can see rows of closed rooms, with the patient's name and medical record number hanging on the door.
At the end of the corridor is the nurse's station, which is the bridge between patients and nurses and is responsible for the patient's daily care and medical work.
Next to the nurse station is a pharmacy. There are medicine lists hanging on the wall, with the patient's name, medicine name, dosage and medication time written on it.
The range of patients' activities is also strictly restricted. Notices saying "Patients and dogs are not allowed to enter" are posted in many places, which states that they cannot go out unless accompanied by a nurse.
There is a small garden in the hospital with some flowers, plants and trees, so that patients can get some spiritual comfort.
However, this small garden is surrounded by high walls, and the patients can only move around in this closed space.
Depressed, closed, and monotonous, this is the feeling of [Institution of Truth]. All patients are strictly restricted in a controlled environment.
Here, any freedom is deprived, and helplessness and despair permeate the surroundings.
Xia Xiu came to a bench in the small garden and sat down. The sunlight fell on him from the sky, giving him a warm feeling.
The authenticity of [Dreamland] has always been one of the research focuses of the extraordinary academic community. It has long been confirmed that you can physically travel to the four major areas of [Dreamland] through the gaps in space. Corpse-eating There are often passages connecting [Dreamland] in ghost lairs, and the central area of the Oletin Empire has a large singularity linking to [Dreamland·Cold Plateau].
Xia Xiu usually has the habit of reading cutting-edge thaumaturgy research reports, but he has not understood it in depth. After all, there are so many cutting-edge research reports on [Ether Ocean] that they can stack up into a mountain.
"You didn't take the medicine just now."
Just when Xia Xiu was dazing in the sun, a voice full of affirmation sounded from beside him, he lazily He turned his head and looked at the speaker.
A woman with freckles on her face and straight features was sitting on the other side of the bench. She looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Julia was staring at the blond young man beside her with burning eyes at this time. The reason why she said that just now was that she thought the guy in front of her was her kind. In fact, she didn't really see him. The other party was hiding or spitting out medicine. The reason why she was so sure was because she wanted to blow him up.
The true meaning of deception lies in making promises, so you must remain sincere and affirmative when deceiving others.
For Julia, whether the other party hides it or not, it has no impact on her.
Facing the sworn Julia, the blond young man yawned boredly. He said to Julia in a casual tone:
"When he was about to swallow the pill, he secretly moved the pill to the left with his tongue and hid it in his mouth. He opened his mouth again to signal to the nurse that he had swallowed the pill, and then stepped aside; the nurse did not find anything abnormal and continued to give the pill. Others distributed the medicine."
"Then he hid the pill on his right cheek, gently crushed the pill with his tongue, and waited until the nurse left. He spat out the broken pills in his mouth and hid them in his pants pocket. "
The sun shone brightly from the top of his head, casting a soft light on the blond young man's body. Shadow, his body tilted up slightly, immersed in the warm sunshine, while his golden eyes stared at the stiff Julia with a cat-and-mouse banter.
"The above are the technical operations of my dear BK-028. They are really skillful operations. It seems that you have done this before."
Zu, who was originally full of confidence At this time, Leah's expression was completely broken. Her hand subconsciously touched the pocket on her right side. This pocket was secretly opened by her on her hospital gown. It was very hidden. Most people would not be able to notice the hidden pocket on her right side. .
Xia Xiu didn't care at all about the little girl's embarrassment at this time, and directly asked Julia:
"Miss 028, do you have anything to do with me?"
"..." Julia was still in an extremely embarrassing situation, so she didn't know how to answer.
"Well, it's not convenient for you to say it now, so let me guess."
Xia Xiu rubbed his chin, looked at the silent Julia and continued to say:
"What kind of resistance organization did you set up? The purpose of this organization is to resist the authority of the head nurse."
"·········" Julia continued to remain silent.
The corner of Xia Xiu's mouth raised, and he continued to say nonchalantly:
"I guess, this organization must have a clear program of action. Do you think it is the following:
< br>One: Get close to key figures: The organization tries to get close to the head nurse, or other figures with a lot of power, to get more information in order to better understand the [House of Truth] and find its weaknesses
Two: Building alliances: Organizations need to establish connections with other patients, find allies, and plan joint actions, such as launching a collective protest or escaping.
Three: Use intelligence: The organization needs to try to obtain more intelligence, understand how the [Institute of Truth] operates, and look for opportunities to disintegrate the system from within.
Four: Avoid ideological correctors: If someone within the organization is considered a problem patient or ideological heretic, they need to avoid being discovered by ideological correctors and keep a low profile as much as possible. "
Julia's face turned pale at this time, and the blond young man asked her with a warm smile:
"Do you think I guessed it right? ”
