CHAPTER XXV
"If you hate me so much, why do you come to see me so often?"
"It's not that I want to come, it's that my mother wants me to see you more for her."
Ke Qinghe sighed silently, and then there was only quiet air left in the empty room. Koya would come to see him once a day, no more, no less than half an hour, and then leave.
Until one day, when she was about to leave, she met Dr. Chan.
"Ms. Ke, do you have time to talk?"
"Yes."
Koya followed him to the office. In a simple office, blinds block the glare of sunlight from the window.
"Mr. Ke's body, because of an accident during the dormancy, caused him to lose sensation in the lower half of his body." Dr. Chan and Keya sat down facing each other.
"yes, I know."
"However, a recent stimulation examination revealed that his brain was also experiencing a hypovascular response." Dr. Chen's tone was a little low, "He takes a nap every afternoon, and in the past six months, he has been sleeping longer and longer. ”
"What do you mean?" Koya asked him, "Is he himself starting to sleep?" ”
"So to speak." Dr. Chan lowered his head and took a deep breath and replied, "It is likely that you will lose consciousness and become a vegetative state." ”
Ke Ya listened expressionlessly, without any waves in her heart, but her mind kept thinking about the various problems that Ke Qinghe was afraid to face next.
"Is there a treatment plan?" Keya raised her eyes and asked.
"Nope." Dr. Chen shook his head, "Ordinary patients may be able to be treated in a targeted manner, but Mr. Ke's condition is different, so we can't prescribe the right medicine, and we are afraid that there will be other possibilities." ”
Ke Ya lowered her eyes, she was very smart and would not fail to understand Dr. Chen's concerns.
"So, what about hibernation again?"
"Huh?" Dr. Chan looked at Keya suspiciously, not expecting her to make such a proposal.
"As far as I know, your experimental project has not stopped, and has even made great changes." Keya said calmly, "So, it doesn't matter if he continues to sleep, right?" You can see if the body will accept it if people who sleep again will accept it. ”
"Ms. Ke, your idea is very bold, but this risk is even greater, and I can't call the shots." Dr. Chan replied awkwardly.
"You don't have to call the shots." Ke Ya looked at him seriously, "At present, whether it is treatment or participation in experiments, isn't it all about personal will?" Those who voluntarily participate can only continue to make profits for you, and there is no future trouble. ”
A little smile appeared on Dr. Chen's embarrassed face: "Ms. Ke, I think you have misunderstood, I am only a doctor in the hospital, not the person in charge of the laboratory, so I am not very clear about what you said." Mr. Ke was transferred to me as a patient, and he was the first person. ”
"I know." "But you're also a bridge, connecting all kinds of people in the hospital, otherwise, where would there be so many volunteers for the experimental project?" ”
Dr. Chan was silent for a moment, then sorted out the sentences in his mind to make his posture more calm.
"Ms. Ke, what I want to talk to you about today is the problem that Mr. Ke may face, and it does not involve the content of the experiment. So, do you still have questions about his condition? ”
"Nope." Koya was quick to answer.
"So, I've done my job for today." Dr. Chan smiled again.
"Hmm." Koya nodded, knowing that this should be the end of the conversation.
After saying goodbye to Dr. Chan, Keya prepared to leave the hospital. When she came to the parking lot and wanted to open the door, a robot moved around her and handed her a leaflet against the background of joyful music.
"Hello, the Time Machine Bar is open tonight, and guests can enjoy a free drink." With that, the robot left her side.
Keya glanced at the flyer, the location of the bar was familiar to her. Originally, she would have been dismissive, but today she really wanted to have a drink, so coincidentally, let's go to the time machine and sit down.
……
Late at night, Keya came to the door of the bar. Because it had just opened and there was a free drink, there was already a long queue at the door, but fortunately, ladies were allowed to enter first.
Keya walked into the bar, the retro environment, the blue lighting, it felt good. She walked to the bar with the list in hand, exchanged for a glass of wine, and before she could take a sip, a man next to her caught her idea.
"Don't come and get it." The bartender said, "You've got three glasses from this list, don't think I don't know." ”
"Come on!" The man begged, "One last cup!" One last cup! ”
The bartender frowned and asked him, "How many more do you have?" ”
The man pulled a wad out of his pocket: "That's all." ”
"Bring them all, and I'll give you a drink."
"Okay, okay." The man had no choice but to give away the list in order to have another drink.
Keya remembered him, she had seen him in the hospital, and the image of an alcoholic was particularly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The man got a glass of wine as he wished, and as soon as he took a sip of the glass, he was even more overjoyed to find a beautiful woman staring at him.
"Beauty, alone?" He approached Koya.
"Hmm." Koya didn't want to pay attention to him, so she turned her face in the other direction.
"As it happens, I'm also alone." He said with a grin, and then stretched out his hand, "My name is Wu Shan, can the beauty introduce herself?" ”
Ke Yacai would not deal with people like him, so naturally he would not shake hands with him. So Wu Shan retracted his hand awkwardly and touched his body: "It's cool, iceberg beauty." He muttered and took a sip of his wine.
But Koya didn't leave the bar, she only came for a drink, so she wouldn't talk to anyone else, let alone walk onto the dance floor and become bait.
Wu Shan saw that she hadn't left, thinking that she still had a chance, so she continued to set up: "Beauty, how boring is it to drink alone, why don't I chat with you?" ”
"Do you still want to flirt with a girl with such a skill?" Ke Ya couldn't help but laugh at him, "It's better to go back and read more books." ”
"Ahh You're right! Wu Shan saw her reply, and became excited, "Why don't I read a few more books, increase my knowledge, why are I so shallow, and everyone I see is a beauty?" ”
When Ke Ya heard this, her serious face finally smiled: "Heh." ”
She shook her head and continued to take a sip of her drink.
"Anyway, we are very fateful." He continued, deliberately getting closer, "You see there are so many people in pairs here, why are we the only ones who are single?" ”
"Heh, how do you know I'm single?" Koya sneered.
"You're not wearing a ring, you're not looking for a man, what is it that you're not single? Don't...... Do you like women? ”
Koya smiled and said nothing, not wanting to answer such a boring question at all.
"Ahhh Wu Shan deliberately pretended to be surprised, "I didn't expect that we had the same hobby." Then he mysteriously approached Keya a little more: "Are you interested in inviting me for a drink?" ”
Wu Shan's body had begun to exude a strong smell of alcohol, and he looked almost drunk, but he was still begging for wine. Ke Ya put down the cup in her hand: "It doesn't matter if you ask you to drink, I'm afraid that you will be sent to the hospital again later." ”
"Hospital?" Wu Shan raised his eyebrows, "Ah, then I'm really scared." ”
After speaking, he drank the wine in his hand: "In the past, the hospital treated the sick and saved people, but the current hospital doesn't know what the hell is doing." ”
Ke Ya's hand lingered on the wine glass for a moment: "What do you mean?" ”
"Huh." Seeing that she was interested, Wu Shan immediately became energetic, "Do you know those projects that GL Hospital is engaged in?" ”
"What project?"
"Dormant experiment."
"Hmm...... This doesn't seem to be a separate project of the hospital, right? Koya calmly picked up his glass and tested if he really knew anything.
Wu Shan nodded excitedly: "At first glance, you understand people, it's true." If Choose Technology wants to do big projects, it's easy to find volunteers from hospitals. He tapped the empty glass, and Keya beckoned to the bartender to fill him with another glass.
"GL Hospital also wants to get more benefits from it, and the heart is black, and the whole hospital has deteriorated."
"Have you ever thought that maybe the hospital is also a victim?" Koya put forward another view, "There are two sides to everything, right? ”
Wu Shan looked at her in surprise: "You are much more rational than I imagined. ”
"I'm just talking about it." Koya took a sip of wine.
"So do you know where the experimental project has been?" Wu Shan wanted to get her attention again.
"What project?" Koya pretended not to know.
"Hibernation!"
"Huh." Koya laughed, she thought it was something.
"Don't laugh, it is said that the success rate of the experiment is very high, and there are really people who have slept for thirty years." Wu Shan said, but seeing that Ke Ya didn't react very much, he immediately changed his tone, "It's those who have money, leisure and illness who will participate in that kind of project!" ”
Koya remained silent.
"But...... Do you know? Now the hospital is privately looking for other volunteers. Wu Shan whispered, although the rhythmic music echoed in the bar, Ke Ya was not deaf, she could hear it clearly.
"What are you looking for volunteers for?"
"Participate in the hibernation experiment!" Wu Shan replied, "But this time is different, they are willing to pay someone to do the experiment." ”
"Why?" This time, Boya was really interested.
"Hmmm! Pay someone to do it. Wu Shan affirmed, "Because it is said that the first person to wake up had a big physical problem, so no one is willing to try it again, so they plan to find a normal person to experiment again to eliminate the danger and potential changes." ”
Koya lowered her eyes, her fingers twirling around the rim of the glass, lost in thought.
"If you were given a large sum of money, would you be willing to participate?" Wu Shan asked with a smile.
