Chapter 102: The Auditory Child
The next day was the weekend, and the courier company delivered the computer purchased by the Red Witch to the Oneiroi Mansion.
Char used a small cart to push the seemingly heavy computer back to the dormitory, and under the guidance of the Red Witch, it took half a day to assemble the giant computer.
Char's dormitory is only sixty or seventy square meters, and this computer occupies almost one-third.
The Red Witch couldn't wait, so Char copied herself to the new computer and started the scoring process.
"With a score of 445, it ranks 99 in Hope City, ranking more than 40,000 in the entire federation. It only cost 250,000 federal coins, which is not bad. The voice of the Red Witch appeared on the computer screen, covering her mouth and giggling, clearly pleased with the new computer.
"From today onwards, I will name this computer Phoenix, which means my rebirth, it is mine." The Scarlet Witch even gave this computer a name.
"Didn't you say okay, you're seven and I'm three... How did it become your computer? Char was speechless.
"Char, with your current computer skills, using this computer is a tyrannical thing. If you have anything, just contact me directly with the holographic bracelet. I'll do it for you. "The Scarlet Witch can't wait to enter Shadow Street and find a way to make money to pay off her debts.
Drip, drip...
Char's holographic bracelet suddenly rang, and it was a video request sent by Dewey.
"Teacher, what are you looking for me?" Char connected to the video and saw Dewey sitting in the office with a cold face, seemingly working.
"It's a weekend... Still working? What a workaholic. Char secretly slandered in her heart.
"Char, Faust from the Psychological Association has sent a message and wants to talk to you." "He was an important customer for us. If you have time, go to the Blue Future Cafe, where he is waiting for you. β
"Faust looking for me?"
Char was slightly stunned, last time because of Lance's sudden appearance, he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Faust.
Faust bought Char's dreams through the Psychological Association, which gave him the opportunity to rush to the top of the list of "Dreams in the Clouds" and make a lot of money.
In general, Char had a good impression of Faust.
Since it was the weekend, Char didn't wear work clothes, changed into a T-shirt, jeans, put on sneakers, turned his head in the direction of the computer and said, "I'm going out to meet a friend, you can play at home by yourself." β
"Don't worry, I'll be there for you at any time." The holographic projection of the Red Witch appeared on Char's palm and said with a smile.
"Hackers are terrible..."
Char muttered a sentence and took the elevator to the first floor of the Oneiroi Building.
Due to the imminent launch of "Dream Heaven", most of the employees are working overtime.
They all looked nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Char quickly left the Oneiroi Mansion and saw a large cleaning robot rumbling past the street, clearing the street.
This kind of robot is only available in upper-class cities, and it is a product of Noah's company, and it costs a lot of money.
There are a total of 50 units in the entire Hope City, and it is precisely because these robots keep cleaning the streets day and night that the streets of the upper city are dusty, and the air is floating with a refreshing faint fragrance of flowers.
The Blue Future Cafe is not far from the Oneiroi Group, and Char didn't take a public transportation and walked directly onto the moving walk towards the cafΓ©.
Most of the pedestrians on the road are immersed in the holographic projection, brushing the news of the day and their own circle of friends.
Char had long been accustomed to this situation.
Ten minutes later, Char arrives at the Blue Future Cafe and finds Faust with a sad face on the floating seat on the second floor.
Faust wore a suit and a crimson tie, and looked polite, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was worried about something.
"Mr. Char... I need your help. Faust didn't have time to say hello, and after Char sat down, he said straight to the point.
"Oh? What's up? Could it be your friend Heymanβ" Char was slightly stunned.
"It's not's business. It's another patient of mine. Faust looked apologetic, "I can't do anything better." After all, you're the only dream builder I know. β
"You mean? This time it's related to dreams? Char wondered.
"Yes."
Faust nodded and said, "Here's the thing. I had a little patient who was only nine years old and originally suffered from insomnia. I prescribed him a little sleeping pills, but I didn't expect... Recently he had developed symptoms of auditory hallucinations. It is always said that there are people hidden in the ceiling, and at night you can often hear footsteps and moans of pain. β
"Maybe the upstairs neighbor came back too late..."Char shrugged his shoulders, unimpressed.
"Question... His family lives on the top floor. Faust took a sip of his coffee, only to find that it had cooled down.
"That's a nightmare, it's not a big deal. Small children have a rich imagination and often have nightmares. Char continued.
"I think so too. But he said the wacky dream had been going on for a week. I'm afraid he's contracted the nightmare plague that has been circulating lately. So I want you to help me see, and if so, isolate him in time. After all, the Nightmare Plague is contagious. β
Faust said with a solemn expression.
"So you think of me?" Char smiled, stood up and said, "Although it's a small matter, I happen to be free today, so I'll go with you to have a look." β
"Great!" Faust looked happy and grabbed Char's hand excitedly.
......
Lower-class city, a skyscraper that looks brand new on the outside.
"Little Timmy and his family live in this building." Faust led Char into the hall and said while waiting for the elevator.
The elevator is a new type of elevator and does not make a little noise when it runs.
Char noticed that the elevator was even equipped with a fingerprint lock, which was rare in the lower cities.
"This building has only been built for a few years, the equipment is relatively advanced, and the doors are all electronic locks. But the location is not so good, there are frequent disappearances and killings, and the rent is cheaper than you might think. β
Faust explains, "Little Timmy's family was not well-off, and he lived with his family, including his mother and four older sisters, and an older brother. β
"Six brothers and sisters?" Char's expression was surprised.
In this day and age, raising a child costs a lot of money.
Most middle-class families choose not to have children, and if they feel lonely, they adopt a bionic child, or just get a pet.
"It's like this in the lower cities." Faust smiled bitterly, "The poorer you are, the poorer you are, and the poorer you are." Most of them have no basic education, where would they think so much. β
