Chapter 162: Retro Nursing Home (1)
A week later, at Vika's insistence, Hai Chaosheng reluctantly sent her to the De Hogwick nursing home.
The nursing home is located in a small town about 500 kilometers south of the capital, Tyne.
The exterior looks like a large cluster of greenhouses.
Walking through the glass door, Vika turned, "Why aren't you leaving?" β
Hai Chaosheng smiled and said, "You forgot? Am I also a volunteer? β
With that, the ape arm relaxed, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and lowered his head to rub her head: "Why are you so cute, I really want to put you in my pocket." β
"Watch the occasion!" Vika said with a red face.
"Sorry to disturb the two of you." A middle-aged man walked out and smiled.
"Hello, Mr. Richie." Hai Chaosheng smiled.
"Oh? It's Mr. Hai, who is this?"
Vika reached out and pinched Hai Chaosheng's back from behind, suggesting that he should not talk nonsense.
"My fiancΓ©e Vika. Torres. Hai Chaosheng's face remained unchanged, and it seemed that he had endured it.
"Please come with me."
Mr. Ritchie's full name is Humphrey. Ricky.
In fact, it is indeed a paradise for the elderly with dementia.
Unlike the traditional retirement homes that Vika remembers, there are supermarkets, restaurants, schools, parks, cafes, clothing stores, newsstands........ It's like an ordinary living community.
"Well, it's peculiar." Humphrey. "In a typical nursing home, there are robots and all kinds of high-end equipment. And here, it is completely modeled after the model of a nursing home in the ancient earth era. β
As he spoke, he pointed to a house marked "Game Arcade" and said, "The only electronic gadgets here are probably simple games." For example, casual games such as making cakes, making fruit salads, dressing up, and fishing. It's not intense at all, it's mainly just to make the old people happy. β
Vika asked, "What about the reading room?" β
"It's all paper books, some of which are donated by enthusiastic people, because the old people can't see electronic products clearly."
"Hi, hello, Johnny." Humphrey. Richie greeted an oncoming old man, "How are you?" β
"Hi Tommy, I'm so good." The old man waved his hand tremblingly.
"He looks good." Vika said.
"It's hard to imagine he's Alzheimer's, right?" Humphrey. Rich said with some pride, "He's in good spirits, in fact, he called me Bill yesterday." β
Seeing Vika's somewhat surprised look, he successfully satisfied Humphrey. Rich's desire to explain: "In fact, we found that using this retro lifestyle can improve the mental state of the elderly more than using cold high-tech. In addition, there is a general feeling among our staff that they prefer their current working environment to their previous jobs. β
"The turnover rate here is surprisingly low." Hai Chaosheng explained softly to Vika, "Because Bao eats and stays. I managed to get in with it. β
"That's right, as a staff member, all you need to do is to be an actor, a liar. Huh,"
What? Vika felt as if he had a hearing problem: "Mr. Rich? β
"Hehe, sorry to scare you. Blame me for not making it clear. "We create a warm home for these elderly people so that they can live with dignity in their old age." So the staff and volunteers have to play a role, such as supermarket staff, postman uncle, friendly neighbors, restaurant chefs, etc. β
Vika was listening with relish, when suddenly the terminal shook a little.
She looked down and saw that it was an anonymous message: Little Vika? I'm Valkyria, can I talk to you alone?
Vika looked up and looked at Hai Chaosheng and Mr. Richie, who had walked a few paces ahead.
"What's wrong?" Hai Chaosheng turned around and asked.
"Sorry...... Excuse me....... How do I get to the restroom? Vika asked in a whisper with a blushing face.
Mr. Richie pointed to a pink dessert house nearby, "Ah, there's one in that dessert house." β
"I'm sorry." Vika nodded, trotting all the way until he entered the cubicle of the innermost women's restroom.
Sure that there was no one else inside, Vika turned on the terminal and sent another message: [Your boyfriend is really domineering. Deleted all of our numbers, and I feel sure that your terminal must be new now. It took me a lot of work to find your new number. By the way, now I need to ask you to do me a little favor. I know you went to the D'Hogwick nursing home. There's an old man named Beavis. Leed. He is the sole survivor of a robbery. But that nursing home was very repulsive to the police. There's no way we can go in and investigate him. So I can only ask you. γ
Vika dialed the terminal directly, and Valkyria's face, which was more handsome than a boy, suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
"Hey, little angel Vika, long time no see, where are you playing?"
Vika rolled her eyes, "Didn't you know where I was, that's why you sent me a mission?" Ava-sama. β
Valkyria smiled, "I'm sorry, because my sweetheart asked me." So there's no choice but to rely on you. β
Vika said, "Where have you been?" I haven't seen you in this time, have you found a new school? Also, you say sweetheart? Who's that? β
Valkyria stroked her forehead: "Uh, a series of attack interrogations." Which should I answer? β
"Of course," Vika said. According to the grade, I am a senior, if you don't tell me, who are you going to help? I don't dare to make a move. β
Valkyria sent a cute picture over.
"Wow, this is....... Male? β
Valkyria exclaimed, "How do you know? She paid a terrible price to find out that this person was actually a man.
Vika was confident: "It's so beautiful, it must be a man." Although it is still a little worse than my family's tide life. β
"Okay, well, your Hai Chaosheng is the most handsome, but my He Jun is the most beautiful." Valkyria said,
Vika looked disgusted: "Okay, let's get down to business, I don't have much time." β
He Jun is the head of the Economic Crime Section of IBIA. Not a bad person, don't worry. Valkyria sent a picture of her ID card, "I'll send you the information, you can read it slowly." Get out of here, your Darling has already entered the dessert shop. β
Vika opened the door to the cubicle and washed her hands.
After thinking about it, he took out his lipstick and smeared it on his lips.
Vika stepped out of the bathroom, and as Valkyria had said, Hai Chaosheng waited with his pants pockets leaning against the wall in the hallway.
"Sorry, I waited."
"It didn't take long for you to ...... Used the lipstick I gave you? β
Vika nodded: "I feel that this color is very suitable for this environment, is it beautiful?" β
"It's a good fit for you." Hai Chaosheng said, rubbing the lipstick with his fingers from Vika's lips and putting it in his mouth: "Well, it's very sweet." β
The answer is not what he asked, this guy has a funny head.
