"Ahh

With a suppressed snort, Fang Chi fell to the ground. The blow to her entire chest made her feel like almost all her ribs were shattered.

Damn it.

I didn't even know that the force feedback system was turned off first during the fall.

The wound behind her ear, which had almost healed, began to ache so badly that her vision began to blur.

There is a faint smell of rust in the mouth.

Is it bleeding......

She had wanted to use a small bug in Maandala to get out. She knew that beneath that tall building was the intersection of the edges of the two continental modules. As long as she falls accurately enough, she will be able to pass through the two continent modules and reach the other location unscathed, similar to the space shuttle function.

And yet that damn impostor.

Maybe he was trying to stop her from jumping off the building. But when he grabbed it, she deviated from the original design of the drop position.

Bang!

She slammed into the hard ground. Although Maandala's force feedback design has been set to a limit where the user will not be injured by a medium-range dù, the impact of a fall from a 30-story building is a fatal blow for someone like her.

My brain is getting heavy.

The body, the body seems to sink into the soft sand...... It's warm and sinks all the time...... Sink......

…… You're going to die......

Isn't that exactly what she's been hoping for for six months?

If you die, you can completely forget about it. can completely get rid of this body that is no longer satisfactory to her.

To die is to be completely liberated. It is the end of a qiē suffering......

But in her blurred vision, her hand, why was her hand still trembling towards the red button?

Why? ……

Before losing consciousness, a sentence flashed in Fang Chi's mind for no reason-

Our obsession with life

But it's getting deeper and deeper

……

When Fang Chi woke up again, his eyes were full of snow. Familiar and boring, as if she had just woken up a few months ago.

If you stay in this kind of place for a long time, you don't know if you will get snow blindness.

She closed her eyes wearily, hoping that this qiē was nothing more than a dream. However, the world is too / quiet, so quiet that her touch is infinitely magnified.

The smell of disinfectant water filled her nose, and she began to get a little intoxicated. In between, the cold sensation of alcohol, the rusty smell of iodine, and the pungent sensation of hydrogen peroxide are put together like a cocktail.

There was a ticking sound from the monitoring equipment around him, and there seemed to be a sound of electricity passing through it. The clear potion fell drop by drop in Murphy's dropper, and bubbles gurgled into the hanging bottle...... The sounds were so vivid in her ears, like a pot of boiling water, so noisy that she couldn't fall asleep.

She sat up suddenly. It's still that special ward. The special ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of Yan University.

She was the only one in the entire ward. The card next to the bed records the last time the nurse came to the ward round, nine minutes and twenty-three seconds ago. In the past, the nurse would come and observe her every fifteen minutes, giving her five minutes and thirty-seven seconds to escape the building.

Fang Chi methodically put on a disinfection mask, changed into cotton shoes, pulled out the needle, held down the eye of the needle and walked out. A hospital's hospital gown was all light blue and white stripes, very wide, which could fully hide her slender body. She is 1.62 meters tall, and if the height of the girls in the whole city is normally distributed, then she happens to be at the top of the curve. It's not so easy to put on a mask and find her in the surveillance of a hospital in every corner.

The first hospital is the hospital with the highest level of medical care and the best automation process in the whole city. In the spacious and bright hospital building, there is no longer any queue of people. There are display screens for publicity and guidance everywhere, and different disease diagnosis and treatment and popular science videos are played according to different consultation areas.

“…… As virtual reality technology gradually penetrates into all aspects of people's lives, people's spiritual life is gradually occupied by virtual reality entertainment. According to the latest research, the incidence of mental illness has risen rapidly in recent years, and there is a high correlation with the penetration rate of virtual reality systems......

"We at Neurose have been committed to in-depth research and drug research and development in the fields of psychiatry and neuroscience for many years, and we have focused our research and development on virtual reality to guide mental diseases, and we hope that our efforts will be ......."

Syllable.

It is not known whose glassware fell to the ground. Maybe an infusion bottle. Maybe a water glass. Water splashes and glass shards fly.

Fang Chi suddenly broke a piece somewhere in his heart. It was as if a levee had burst, and the flood water was surging out, setting off a huge wave.

She stood in front of the monitor in a daze, the five fingers of her right hand slightly open. If she was in Maandala, the slender silver sword had already flown into her palm, and with a single blow, the captives were wiped out.

But this is not Maandala.

Not far away, a nurse said anxiously, "I'm sorry Director He!" It was all because I was careless and didn't take a good look at Miss Fang. I'm going to take her back to the ward! ”

"Don't go over!" The man behind her pulled her back at once. "It's dangerous." "The blood sample test has come out, and the level of α inhibitor drugs in her body is close to zero," he said. Having lost her drug control, she is now prone to violent behavior. ”

"What then?!"

"I'll just go. You go to the Department of Psychiatry to contact Director Ning, and arrange for a severe PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) treatment in an hour. ”

"Yes!"

Fang Chi looked at the display screen with wide eyes, Zu Feng, CEO of Nerve Rose Company, was giving a speech on the stage, and the audience applauded thunderously from time to time. Zu Feng is still so radiant, and his mouth is like a river. On the big screen behind it, the global sales volume of psychiatric drugs showing Nerve Rose has risen sharply in recent years, with a three-year compound growth rate of 120%!

Liars.

Cancer.

Lucifer under the cloak of angels.

The murderer of Sheng Yan!

She's going to kill him, kill them all!

Kill!

Her outstretched fingers curled up and closed. In the hospital, all her nails were trimmed flat, but between her fingers, there was a faint color of blood.

"Kitten."

A heartwarming voice sounded behind her. Fang Chi was shocked! No! Don't be tied down anymore! She reacted so quickly that she ran away without looking back.

Ten minutes later, Fang Chi was escorted back to the special ward by the security guards of the four hospitals. Her hands and feet were bound by special belts, she screamed frantically, but a piece of cork was stuffed in her mouth, a sharp tingling pain in her wrist, and a cold feeling spread up with her blood vessels, she suddenly felt as if she couldn't breathe, her heart fell heavily, and she couldn't move anymore.

Her eyes widened, staring at the void.

After a long time, a man came to her bedside and sat down. -- The bed sank 3.5 centimeters, and the person was estimated to weigh about 68 kilograms. The familiar numbers, the bitter smell of the psychedelic anesthetic, were as familiar to her as the ward.

"Young man, recover fast enough—kitten."

Her long hair was gently pulled out of the quilt to smooth her out.

She was motionless, her gaze glazed.

"Did you stop taking the drug for six days?"

Fang Chi was indifferent. The facts clearly written on the test sheet, why bother asking.

"I honestly took the medicine for more than a month, and then I thought I was letting my guard down, so I hacked the drug monitoring device I put in your home. You threw the medicine I prescribed into the fish tank, and the monitor stupidly pushed me a message every day that you had taken the medicine.

"Kitten, don't work hard for your silver dragon to test the medicine - the medicine I gave you is already the least side effect I chose, and it doesn't have any toxicity to the human body."

Fang Chi's eyebrows moved, and he turned to the person opposite. Her whole person is slender, her eyebrows are thin, her nose is thin, the corners of her mouth are also thin, and her fair skin gives people the feeling that she is also unusually slender. There was a nervous sensitivity in her gaze.

Although the person opposite was wearing a neat white coat, he also had a sense of grace. His hair was still abundant, interspersed with a few silver threads, and he looked to be in his early forties, and no one would have thought that he was already sixty years old.

His name is He Xinyi, her attending doctor, and at the same time, her stepfather.

"Why are you forcing me to take that medicine?" Although she had just been sedated injected, her flickering gaze was still full of the risk factor of restlessness.

"After eating, drowsiness, drowsiness, except drowsiness and drowsiness, I didn't have the strength to move, I didn't have the strength to speak, I didn't even have the strength to cry and laugh! I don't think I'm human! ”

"I'm not insane! Don't give me tranquilizers! She suddenly roared, her eardrums buzzing, and she felt dizzy in her skull.

"Kitten ......"

"Don't call me a kitten - my name is Fang Chi! Fang Chi! ”

She grabbed her hair with both hands and shouted, but was forcibly pulled down by He Xinyi, "Take a deep breath!" He commanded, "Clench your hands, exhale and let go!" ”

He Xinyi ordered her to repeat this again and again until she was completely calm. He said:

"Kitten, that tracker that the Nerve Rose planted behind your ear is deep and precise. We're guessing there are a few electrodes connected to your nervous system. Forcibly digging out the tracker as you escaped, it has already caused some damage to your nervous system and brain. Although the hospital has performed several surgeries on you, the damage is irreversible and it is difficult for us to achieve perfection. ”

Fang Chi looked at his eyes steadily, this stepfather she had known since she was a child and resisted all kinds of things, but it was difficult for her not to believe what he said.

"Irreversible? So this medicine has to be taken for a lifetime? Her voice trembled slightly.

There was a long silence.

"Yes. Moreover, the situation will continue to deteriorate, and drugs will only slow down the process. There was a deep pain in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, kitten."

Oh.

He Xinyi is already the top brain science and neurobiomedical expert in China and the world. As a stepdaughter, she knows it well.

She fell silent suddenly.

Fang Chi turned his head sideways and looked out the window. The windows of this ward are sealed. The sun outside is excellent, bright and dazzling, casting large spots of light in the ward. A tall birch tree leaned out of the window, as if curious to enter, and a few large green leaves pressed against the windowpane. The birch bark was shiny white.

There seemed to be something white velvet flying in the air. It's catkins. Fang Chi suddenly remembered that it was already spring.

"Hmm. Actually, there is nothing. ”

Fang Chi showed a pale and dry smile, which disappeared in a flash. "Thank you, Uncle Daoming. Thank you for taking care of my mom. ”

He Xinyi's appearance resembles the older generation of movie star Chen Daoming, and she has always called him that.

"Your mom is stronger than you."

"I know."

She is a posthumous child. Daddy was gone when she was still in Mom's womb. At that time, there was no Maandala, so she could only see her father through guò photos. In my impression, my mother never cried, I took my sister and her alone, Uncle Daoming chased my mother for many years, and it was only after she was twelve years old that my mother accepted Uncle Daoming, but I don't know if it was to take care of Uncle Daoming's previous children's feelings, and the two of them have not registered their marriage.

"But you're more tenacious than she is."

"You don't need to praise me."

"I'm serious, I'm sure the kitten will survive four courses of PTSD treatment."

“……”

……

In the psychotherapy room, music soothed.

In the past, the psychotherapy was always done by He Xinyi himself, but today it has been changed to Dr. Ning, who is very familiar with He Xinyi. He Xinyi was not there, but his guardianship of her was even stricter. The door to her ward was locked from the outside, and when she needed treatment, four hospital security guards escorted her all the way to the psychiatric treatment room.

When doing music relaxation therapy, the lights in the treatment room are turned off. The purple light of the doorway switch flashed and flickered, and the "safety exit" on the wall emitted a shallow fluorescence.

Classical music didn't play a role in the slightest delay. Her cerebral cortex is now extremely active.

Time to go.

The shortest hand of the clock has already crossed a little.

If you don't leave now, you won't be able to catch up.

She rehearsed the escape route of the hospital in her mind, took a deep breath, and stood up silently. Take off your shoes and hold them in your hands, and walk slowly on tiptoe against the wall.

The music is still playing. The hypnotized male voice spoke word by word like a sloth:

"Imagine that there is a bright light above your head, the light is warm, shining on your whole body, your whole body, you feel extremely warm......"

Dr. Ning still sat opposite him and did not move, and he habitually accompanied the patient to close his eyes and meditate.

Fang Chi exhaled that breath, slammed the door open, and rushed out like an arrow.

Tumble down the escalator full of people.

Walk through the bustling emergency room.

Door.

Gate.

There is always no shortage of taxis in front of the hospital.

"Master, go to the Cold Spring Martyrs Cemetery! Fast! ”

On this day, it was Sheng Yan's funeral.

It was also her funeral.
