Chapter 103: Timmy's Dream
The forty floors of the top floor arrived, and the elevator doors opened, revealing a narrow corridor full of debris.
A few children in tattered clothes and dirty bodies were running around in the corridor to hide and seek.
"Is Timmy at home?"
Faust asked, holding a short-haired boy with a dark face.
"Nerd Timmy, of course at home. You're the Faustian doctor. "The voice of the short-haired kid is crisp, it is the voice of a girl.
Faust recognized her as Timmy's sister Mia, and when he saw her like this, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
Mia suddenly bit down on the back of Faust's hand, leaving two clear rows of tooth marks.
"Oops..."
Faust let out a scream.
Mia, on the other hand, laughed and ran away.
"Uneducated children." Char frowned slightly, dissatisfied with Mia's behavior.
"Don't blame them. They just don't know how to communicate with people. Actually, they like me. Faust took out his handkerchief, wiped Mia's saliva off the back of his hand, and looked up to see Mia's group of children screaming at him around the corner of the hallway, with a smile on his face.
"As a psychiatrist, self-cultivation is good. If it were me, I would have to catch that little girl and clean it up. Char said with a smile, and he could see that Faust got along well with the children.
Faust came to a door, pushed open the hidden door, and entered.
Char followed, and as soon as she entered the door, she smelled the rich aroma of curry.
A dark-skinned, skinny middle-aged woman is cooking curry in the kitchen.
"Mrs. Helen."
Faust bowed slightly and politely greeted the middle-aged woman, who was Timmy's mother, Helen.
"Why are you again?"
Mrs. Helen, who was wearing a coarse cloth apron, turned around, and when she saw Faust, she suddenly exclaimed, "Why are you again?" Doctor Faust. I've said it countless times. I really don't have any money, and I've done everything I can to feed these kids! Timmy's consultation, I really can't afford it. ”
Faust smiled and said politely, "Mrs. Helen, I have said countless times that I will not charge Timmy for his consultation. Moreover, after his insomnia is cured, I can also come up with some money to let him go to school. ”
"What's the use of reading. It's better to go to the garbage mountain in the old city to pick up waste, and maybe make some money. Mrs. Helen muttered, pointing to the room inside, "Look for Timmy, he's in the house." ”
The floor of the room was full of clutter, and there was almost no place to stay, Char cautiously walked through the living room to the bedroom.
Timmy's home is small, not much bigger than the apartment Char lived in before.
Char couldn't believe how their family of seven could live like sardines in a jar in such a small place.
"Probably... This is the life of the poor in Hope City. ”
The more Char sees it, the more disappointed she becomes with the world.
That's right, the world is technologically advanced.
In this world, there are people with abilities that transcend the limits of human beings.
However, there is no such thing as fairness and justice in this world.
The excessively large gap between the rich and the poor, and the solidification of classes, are the root cause of all pain and suffering.
But everyone was numb, and no one seemed to want to change anything.
The rich don't have it, and neither do the poor!
In the bedroom, a skinny Timmy is wearing oversized clothes that obviously don't fit well, and is reading a book with a worn-out holographic bracelet.
Timmy's eyesight was obviously very bad, and when he saw Doctor Faustus coming in, he blinked quickly several times before he excitedly said, "Doctor Faustus, you didn't just come yesterday, why did you come again?" ”
With a gentle smile on his face, Dr. Faustus walked up to Timmy and smiled, "I've come to check how your course went?" ”
Timmy's smile was bright: "I'm almost done." Doctor, when can I go to school, I want to go to school. ”
"Come on, when your insomnia is cured, you can go to school." Faust pointed to Char and introduced, "He is my friend Char, and he is also a doctor. Would he like him to give you a check-up? ”
"Absolutely." Timmy nodded hurriedly and sat down in front of Char obediently.
Char took out a coin from his pocket, shook it in front of Timmy, and said, "Timmy, you keep an eye on this coin. ”
"Hmm."
Timmy nodded, staring at the slowly flying coins.
The coin reaches its highest point, and Timmy's eyes are blank and he falls into a hypnotic state.
"Go ahead, lie in bed and have a good dream." Char's voice whispered in Timmy's ear.
Timmy stiffened and climbed the ladder to the top of the four-story bed, covered it with a blanket, and after a while he snored evenly.
When Char hypnotized Timmy, he also hypnotized himself.
His consciousness floated beneath the ceiling, looking at Timmy, watching a dream slowly hatch above his head.
It was a pure dream of whiteness and flawlessness.
Timmy dreams that he went to school, earned money, and made a good life for his family.
In Timmy's dream, Char finds no trace of the nightmare!
That said, Timmy wasn't infected with the Nightmare Plague.
Char's consciousness returned to her body and she told Faust the good news.
"Great! That being said, Timmy will soon be able to go to school. Faust was delighted and said, "He's the smartest kid I've ever met, and it's not expensive if it's just an online school, and I can afford it." ”
"Actually, online school is not the only option. Educational resources are monopolized by the rich, and the poor only take online classes and can't learn anything. Char picked up Timmy's old holographic bracelet and looked at it casually, the books inside were all worthless success studies.
"Of course I do. But... This is the only way. Only knowledge can change fate. Although there is only a little hope... However, I hope that Timmy can change himself and change the fate of his family. ”
Faust said.
Char pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. just silently copied the courseware in his holographic bracelet to Timmy's old bracelet.
These courseware were bought by Char from Merlin, and they were the part of the knowledge that the educational institution monopolized.
As for how much Timmy can learn, that's his own business.
Although the topic was a bit heavy, Faust was happy to know that Timmy was not infected with the Nightmare Plague and invited Char to dinner.
Just when the two of them took the elevator to the first floor and discussed which restaurant to go to eat.
Four or five police officers in black SWAT uniforms, gas masks, and submachine guns rushed in and pressed the two against the wall, their muzzles pressed against their temples, as if they were facing a great enemy.
A sturdy black police officer walked in and said, "Bring the two of them back to the police station to assist in the investigation!" Others search the entire building, and no room can be spared! ”
