Chapter 006: Raymond's Little Abacus
"Whew-"
After exhaling deeply, Raymond slammed onto the bed, feeling only sore.
As he had guessed before, this kind of switching sub-personality was really not unlimited, and after testing in various ways, he finally figured out where the limit of the para-personality state was.
First of all, the duration of the parapersonality state is related to his physical expenditure after the switch.
The more intense the consumption, the shorter the time to maintain the sub-personality state.
For example, when fighting with people, there is no doubt that the physical exertion is the most intense.
After initial testing, he came up with a rough statistic - if he fought someone, the duration of the parapersonality state would only last for ten to fifteen minutes at most.
After that, you have to rest for a while.
On the other hand, if you sit there and don't move, it's easy to go on for hours.
Of course, he wasn't sure how long he would be able to maintain his parapersonality if he really didn't move, because he didn't have that much spare time to test this for the time being.
Chloe's sub-personality doesn't mind helping him test it out, because usually after the sub-personality is switched back, it will go straight into hibernation, which is also boring.
But Raymond doesn't have that plan for the time being.
Now he just needs to determine that the duration of the parapersonality state is related to physical exertion, and that is enough.
In addition, during further testing, Raymond also discovered another small function of the system - [equipment manifestation].
According to his speculation, it should be possible to manifest the equipment owned by the sub-personality archetype, but it requires a certain amount of generic points, and most of them are also time-limited.
However, he doesn't have any extra generic points now, and even if he wants to, he can't do anything about it.
So this can only be tried later when new generic points are harvested.
Goo~~~Goo~~~~
At this moment, there was a sudden "growling" sound from his stomach.
Glancing at the time of the electronic clock on the wall, Raymond realized that he seemed to have missed dinner time because he was too involved in testing the sub-personality status, and now it was already dark.
"Forget it, go to sleep."
After finding that he felt sore all over his body after just moving his body slightly, he decisively decided to go to bed first, anyway, he would not die of hunger, and he would eat again when he got up tomorrow.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Raymond woke up naturally.
The aches and pains on my body have long since disappeared, but the hunger is worse than last night.
After seeing that the time was already more than six forty, the hospital cafeteria should have opened at this time, so Raymond went directly to the cafeteria after a brief wash.
Soon after Raymond had chosen what he wanted to eat and sat down, David sat down across from him with a breakfast and greeted him:
"Good morning, Raymondβ"
"You're early, too." After seeing that it was David, Raymond's heart was still inevitably tightened.
But with his city, even if he can't be happy and angry, he can still hide his nervousness, and naturally David won't see anything wrong.
"Had you slept well yesterday, didn't you?" David asked with a smile.
"Of course, after sleeping for more than ten hours, it's hard to think about it." Raymond shrugged.
"I saw that you didn't come to dinner, so I guessed that you definitely didn't wake up, so I didn't bother you." David said as he smeared the sliced bread in front of him with the hospital's special bladeless plastic butter knife.
"I was a little tired yesterday, and when I woke up halfway through, it was already dark, so I just continued to sleep."
"I see." David suddenly said, "Yesterday, your mental state seemed to be very poor, and your face was not very good-looking, did you not rest well recently?" β
Why didn't my face look good yesterday, didn't you have a B number in your heart?
Seeing you coldly, a world-destroying psychopath, whose face can be good-looking?
Raymond resisted the desire to complain, and said casually: "It should be that I haven't rested recently, after sleeping yesterday, today's state is obviously much better than yesterday." β
"It's okay." David breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought they had given you some new medicine yesterday." β
Raymond could see that David was still very concerned about his friend, but he was not the original owner of the body after all, and he didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, so he immediately changed the topic and asked:
"How are you...... I see that you are in good condition for a while, and you have never been sick, do you have any plans to apply for discharge? β
"There must be, but you don't know how difficult it is to get out, even a psychology expert like you has been blocked, and I don't have the confidence to go out on my own." David looked helpless.
"That's not necessarily, I can't get out because of some unexpected factors, it doesn't mean you can't get out either." Raymond shook his head and said, "Otherwise, I'll help you simulate the test after breakfast later, if you can pass my test, then you can probably pass the test at the hospital, how about it?" β
"Really? That's great! David looked pleased.
He has known Raymond for so long, and he knows that Raymond was originally a big psychologist before he got sick, and he is much more professional than the resident doctors in the hospital under normal conditions.
As Raymond said, if he can pass Raymond's test, then he must also pass the test of the resident doctors.
In fact, he had thought this way before, but he had never been embarrassed to speak, he was going to wait for Raymond to pass the test when he would also pass the test and be discharged from the hospital before making this request.
Unexpectedly, Raymond actually took the initiative to help him with this, which made him ecstatic!
"Thank you so much, Raymond!" David was thrilled.
"It's just a little help, it's all my own people, and when I say this, I will see the outside." Raymond smiled disapprehantly.
"Hmm!"
David nodded again and again, but he still couldn't hide the excitement and joy in his eyes!
Seeing David like this, Raymond felt a little embarrassed, because he suddenly offered to help David, and he also had his own little abacus.
First of all, it can be said that it is almost impossible for him to be discharged from the hospital in a normal way in a short period of time.
After going through the two divine operations of 'Huaguo Private Detective' and 'Rosenhann Experiment', Dr. Beth didn't believe that he had returned to normal and would definitely not let him go.
Secondly, if he switches to Chloe's alternate personality now, it will be very easy to escape from the hospital.
But as a last resort, he really didn't want to use this stupid method.
After all, this is the 21st century, the eye of the sky is everywhere, and the facial recognition technology is already very developed, he doesn't want to be a fugitive mentally ill and hide in Tibet all day long.
Besides, compared to his previous life, there are some more organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. in this world, and God knows if he will attract some unnecessary attention if he suddenly slips away.
After considering all kinds of problems, Raymond felt that it was better to act rashly and think in the long run.
can let him hang around in front of David, a world-destroying psychopath, all day long, and he is indeed a little self-conscious.
So, he decided to think differently.
Since he himself can't get out anytime soon, why don't he find a way to let David out?
Anyway, according to the original world line, even without his intervention, David would eventually leave this hospital, and at most he would just help speed up the progress.
