Chapter 92: After-Effects#
Although Mimi woke up like a normal person, Qi Min had all kinds of problems after he woke up completely.
She first noticed that her arms and legs were extremely weak and almost completely unable to move, and then when Anton fed her water, she felt an indescribable nausea.
These symptoms happen to be similar to those of Cynomolgus Monkey No. 2, and Qi Min suspects that it is likely that her consciousness has changed after entering the brain-like body for too long, causing her to be uncomfortable after returning to her own body. But Qi Min didn't want to tell others the fact that she had a problem - if it was really determined that entering the brain-like body would cause sequelae to people, I am afraid that they would not easily approve the brain-computer combination experiment in the future, and if they determined that Qi Min had suffered a "work injury", she would not be allowed to enter the brain-like body for at least a year or two.
However, it is reasonable to have just experienced a serious experimental accident and not recover in a short period of time.
Qi Min tilted his head and spit out the saliva that Anton fed her, but said in a hoarse voice with excitement: "I succeeded...... You know what, I made it......"
"Okay, okay, you made it." Anton comforted softly, "How are you feeling?" β
"Where's Mimi?" Qi Min asked.
"She's in the next roomβsomeone is watching." Anton hurriedly said, "Mimi is fine, don't worry." β
"I'm in a brain-like body...... Met Mimi. Qi Min took a deep breath, but was choked and coughed, "None of you dare to believe it...... My daughter built a city in her brain-like body......"
When she said this, no one present really believed it, after all, Qi Min had just woken up from a coma, and it was very likely that his mental state was not normal for a while.
"Okay, Xiao Qi, don't think about those things first." Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan walked around from the side and tested Qi Min's forehead with the back of her hand, "It's good that you wake up, we'll take off the chip on your head later, let's have a good rest first." β
"Wait, Teacher Zhou......" Qi Min hurriedly said, although her voice was still hoarse, her tone was very urgent, "Don't take off the interface - the interface is inserted very deeply, I'm afraid there will be problems, just suture the wound after disconnecting......" In this way, she can still keep the callosum interface, and it will be easier to conduct experiments in the future.
"Okay." Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan smiled gently, "It is indeed risky to take it out rashly, and your daughter's interface has not been taken out now, so it is no problem to take it again after seeing how it is recovered." β
She looked at Qi Min and asked, "Are you feeling unwell now?" β
"No...... I'm fine......" Qi Min forcibly suppressed all kinds of discomfort all over his body, and pulled out a smile, "It's just a little sleepy......"
"You rest first, but don't fall asleep again." Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan hurriedly said, then turned to Ke Li and said, "Ke Li, you check whether the brain-like body is still active, and if there is no problem, disconnect the connection with the brain-like body as soon as possible." β

Qi Min was finally helped into the taxi by Anton as if nothing had happened, and was pulled all the way home.
When he got out of the car, Mimi happily rushed out and ran to the door as soon as he opened the door, but Qi Min could barely move, and had to rely on Anton to carefully drag it out.
The driver had already seen that the passenger's condition was not normal, and he also got out of the car to help Qi Min, and asked, "Are you sick?" β
"Yes, chemotherapy ......" Qi Min joked weakly, "Didn't you see, my hair is all gone......"
In order to keep warm, Qi Min wore a thick woolen hat, but it could still be seen from the side that there was no hair on her sideburns.
"Oh, be careful, then." The driver said pityingly, "What kind of formaldehyde and dioxin are too polluted these days." I got this disease at a young age. β
Qi Min smiled, and was half-pulled to the curb by Anton and the driver. After saying goodbye to the driver, she said to Anton: "Don't hold on to this, I'm not really chemotherapy again." β
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she intermittently twitched her legs, and if it weren't for Anton, she would have fallen to the ground on the spot.
"You'd better stop, I'll carry you on my back." Anton wrapped her arms around his shoulders and bent down to carry her on his back.
"Rely on ......" Qi Min's stomach was compressed for a moment, and he almost didn't vomit it directly, but he barely pressed it down but said, "Alas...... It's all right......"
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Mimi also ran back and asked with a little face up.
"It's alright...... It's just a little tired...... Qi Min said reluctantly, "Mimi go open the door, okay?" β
The little girl ran over to open the door again, and Anton carried Qi Min back to the rented apartment, and it took a lot of effort to settle Qi Min on the sofa in the master bedroom.
Mimi was lying next to Qi Min, unable to understand why her mother was so weak now: "Mom, are you tired of fighting monsters?" Are all those monsters dead? β
"Well, they're all dead...... Qi Min comforted her, "those are all fake......
"Is it in my dream?" Mimi asked, "But how did my mother be in my dreams?" β
"That's not a dream...... It's a world in a big computer......" Qi Min said with a smile, "but it's all fake after all......"
"What don't you dream of?" Anton didn't quite understand what they were talking about.
Before Qi Min could speak, he was "introduced" to their brain-like adventure by the excited Mimi again. Anton had listened to her several times, but he still patiently listened to her finish, and then said, "So Mimi don't mess with the things in the laboratory in the future, don't go back to that place, and you have to ask your mother to save you." β
"But...... It's a fun place. "The little girl is not afraid at all," and Mom said it was a magical place, wasn't it, Mommy? β
Although Qi Min was almost trapped in the brain-like body on the surface and never woke up again, from her point of view, things were going well in the brain-like body, and she couldn't understand that others saw this as a dangerous thing.
"yes...... It's fun......" Qi Min smiled at her daughter, and then raised her eyes and said to Anton, "Of course, I won't go casually in the future......"
Her subtle attitude made Anton wonder what he was crying by Qi Min's bedside for nearly three hours. Isn't that a bit heartless? Or is this actually a "brain-like half-day tour" that she has wanted to try for a long time?
However, even if Qi Min has no heart or lungs, it is true that she is very weak after coming out of the brain-like body. Anton didn't quite understand why she was pretending to be okay in the center of the "rain cloud", but she was in a bad state anyway.
Anton asked Mimi to go back to his bedroom to play, and then came back and asked Qi Min, "Min, how are you now?" β
When there were no outsiders, Qi Min also said bluntly: "The whole body is weak...... Dizziness and nausea...... I guess it's the sequelae......"
Anton really wanted to blame her for deciding to connect himself to the computer so hastily, even if it was to save Mimi? What if she doesn't come back? But it didn't make much sense to say it now, he just asked, "So what now?" β
Qi Min lay flat on the sofa, closed his eyes and smiled: "I have to recover for a while...... And then tell someone about it...... How much NB ...... what I do?"
