The whole operation took about 20 minutes. When Su Jing was brought out, several doctors in charge of the operation were relieved.

During the MRI of Solomon's brain, the surgeon had to delay for 20 minutes for a short meeting, and the other party's brain had obviously undergone surgery before, and it was a relatively deep modification operation, his cerebral cortex was about 30% more than that of a normal human, and the sulcus gyrus was particularly deep. Lobotomizing on such subjects is not a guarantee of success.

However, considering the identity of the other party's heinous criminals and the possible advances in brain science, everyone began to decide to forcibly perform the operation.

The improved surgical approach offered by Wayne Enterprises and traditional lobotomy may seem similar on the surface, but in fact they are completely different things and follow different contexts. There are a lot of oriental metaphysical things in the explanation of the principle of surgery, involving many meridians, acupuncture points, and the knowledge of blood and qi operation acupoints known as "brake holes".

However, after the first few surgeries, the great success completely dispelled all doubts about the excellent results of this surgery. There are still some doctors who try to explain the principles of this surgery using Western medical theories, such as the interaction between the areas in charge of the cerebral cortex, and the use of vascular modification to curb the operation of the brain's nerve center function - but the results are not high, simply put, the current brain science has not evolved to such an advanced level.

Where did Wayne get this amazing knowledge, and none of the many nimble minds would try to explore it. Under the huge capital operation behind it. The City Council soon adopted the Interim Trial of Lobotomy for Severely Mentally Ill Patients, and the Arkham Psychiatric Principles received a $30 million grant. No one thinks there's anything wrong with that. Even if this surgery may be a little cruel and inhumane to those criminals, think of the blood on their hands. No one will find it inappropriate. Only a few extreme human rights activists are running the streets, but their approval rating is almost zero.

"How are you feeling right now?"

When he heard this, Su Jing opened his eyes. The sleepiness that he had not felt for a long time enveloped him, and he almost exhausted all his will to resist it. A thin slit appeared on either side of his forehead, and it was in this place that it took the doctor a full five minutes to sawing open his tough skull, the blades of which were dulled by three. Then there is an ingenious laser cauterization device, which is not a brutal scalpel to cut off a piece of the brain, but a simple and efficient burn. Burned a part of the blood vessels, as well as destroyed a part of the nerve center on the surface of the cerebral cortex.

Those who haven't had this surgery will never know what it's like, like falling into a sea of ice and then sinking into a lava hell at the bottom. Your body is in great pain, but your mind is cold and clear. You can feel the impulses of your nerves sweep through every piece of skin, but you don't want to do anything, you can't do anything, as if for the first time in your life your consciousness and body have been separated, and you are watching another person suffer inhuman torture. You were cut in half by a sharp knife, half of you suffering, half of you watching coldly.

This second seemed to be extended to the reincarnation of eternal calamity, and Su Jing just coldly remembered every little feeling. Even if everything that makes people happy is leaving him. He also carved an idea with simple logic:

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Happiness and pain are nothing to do with it, it's just a simple logic.

"How are you feeling right now?"

The man asked again. The truth potion pried his mouth open, making Solomon think that telling the truth was no big deal.

"I feel like a piece of."

The other let out a slight laugh. Then there are whispers of "the operation was successful", "continue to observe his post-operative condition", and so on.

He waited where he was for about five minutes, and then two middle-aged nurses untied him from all his restraints. All bondage. All the shackles were unfastened. Su Jing knew very well that it wasn't because they thought he was normal, but because there was a shackle that was ten times heavier than these shackles combined.

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations on your recovery."

As if it were some kind of ritual, after the last shackle was removed, all the medical staff present applauded. From time to time, someone patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement, Su Jing thought that this might be to make him feel the warmth that a normal human would feel, but now his heart was just gray, and he didn't want to think about anything, he didn't want to do anything. And those in the white coats seemed to understand his actions, and when they saw him standing indifferently, everyone smiled reassuringly.

"Although we think you can get out of the psychiatric hospital and go back to your normal life now, according to the terms of the case, you will have to stay here for a while, and we will have to observe you for a period of time. Thank you for your understanding. One of the lab coats said this, and Solomon nodded politely, revealing a stiff smile.

This is followed by a lengthy medical check-up, followed by a nutritious lunch. White bread and milk, and a dedicated caregiver to help him eat, that is, when they found that he had no appetite at all, they would tear open the white bread and feed it to him with milk. If it was Su Jing in the past, he might think this was ridiculous, but now Solomon only thinks that it is not a bad thing to save a little effort. He now understands that the clown has been in a wheelchair before, and it is much easier to sit in a wheelchair than to walk.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, when all the "harmless" people in the psychiatric hospital have three hours of activity, the staff seem to generally think that bringing the old and sick together to play chess, puzzles, watch TV or play with blocks is good for their brains. Under the care of medical staff, Su Jing casually took a deck of old cards from the toy box that had been used many times.

He looked around and found a guy who could play cards with him. A middle-aged man with green hair is sitting in a wheelchair basking in the sun.

"Do you want to play?"

Su Jing asked the medical staff to push the wheelchair. Moved to the side of the man who was once called the Joker.

"No, thank you." The other party replied coldly.

"Play. Or I'll choke you by the neck and let you play. Take your pick. Solomon replied in the same cold tone.

The clown was silent for a moment.

Five minutes later, one of the two threw cards on the table without one of them. To be honest, neither of them noticed what the other was losing, and they just played their cards by inertia.

"How do you feel now?"

"Why don't you ask yourself?"

Silent.

"Where's Harley?"

"Injection."

Silent.

“……”

"I remember you had a woman too."

"I guess I'm getting an injection."

The Mechmancer was also sent back to Arkham due to her "mild symptoms", and was treated with traditional tranquilizers along with Harley Quinn who volunteered to stay put, and is now still in a period of calm after taking the pills.

"Do you want to go back to your old life?"

"Is this a matter of discussion?"

"I'm just asking you about that fact."

“…… Don't want to. ”

"For what?"

"What was there to do in the old days?"

"At least you'll still feel happy then."

"Happy?"

"Yes."

"I have a question." The clown slammed the cards on the table, "Why do you think I'm happy?" Is it because I'm laughing? ”

“………………”

"At least I lost my joy and pain at the same time. To be honest, I don't think it's a loss. ”

“………………”

"Thank you, thank you for talking so much to a cripple. I'm a little sleepy, see you again. ”

The Joker's wheelchair creaked and squeaked away. Solomon was left alone facing a messy table. He slowly sorted out the cards. He did this work very meticulously, arranging the cards neatly according to the suit from A to King, and even after being deprived of emotion, he still had a certain degree of obsessive tendencies.

Then a girl walked up to him, and without looking at him, she said with a slight hint of orange oil, Gage. The girl with her brown hair scattered sat opposite him, waved her hand in front of him, and Su Jing's eyes didn't move.

“…… Alas. The Mechanic sighed a little melancholy.

"That's right. Gage. Su Jing put the cards back in the box, "Do you remember when you kissed me once?" ”

“……………… Remember. ”

It was a parting kiss between the boy and the girl standing under the portal after Su Jing's first mission with her in the Borderlands World. Compared to that time, both of them have grown a lot now.

"There's a question I think it's just right for me to ask now." Solomon placed the cards between them. "Do you love me?"

“……………… I don't think you're in a position to talk to me about this. The Mechomancer raised an eyebrow, "Besides, why do you have such feel-good thoughts about yourself?" You don't really think you're handsome enough to be a humanoid self-propelled cannon, do you?! It's just that we've been fighting on the same front for a few days, if that can lead to love. Why don't I talk to the Axton voter! All right, my dear comrade-in-arms. There are so many beautiful girls waiting for you in bed, just let me go of a cute young girl with a mediocre appearance. ”

"Really......" Su Jing muttered for a few seconds. Then he stood up. Walked over to the Mechanic Warlock and pressed his head down to the point where the two of them were almost face to face.

"Your heart is beating faster." Solomon declared indifferently.

Then he kissed the girl's pretty lips. The cold metal heart and the beating heart were pressed together, and the mechanical sorcerer closed her eyes, trying to hold back her tears, for she knew that her beating heart and crimson cheeks had completely betrayed her. She had to admit sadly, even though she never said everything, only occasionally playing teasing games with him, watching the two women share this man...... I've always liked this man.

Maybe it's similar to a certain extent, with the same naivety in the face of this world. Maybe it's because of his handsomeness, or because of the bonds that have been formed since the day they fought together, the sense of security that is very reliable with him around, and the life that is always fun, this kind of romance script that is so simple that he is too embarrassed to say it can break down all the seemingly strong defenses, this lonely child who seems smart but is actually stupid enough to give the same reward to all who love him.

"So, you love me."

Su Jing stated this fact without emotion. Even though he lost his pleasure and pain, the laws that had been written in the logic of his behavior allowed him to draw precise conclusions.

"So, I will guard you in return for your love."

“…… Well, let's get out of here first. The mechanic said with his eyes wiped from his eyes on his patient's sleeve and choked up.

"Don't be in such a hurry for the time being, I still have to wait for someone." Solomon unconsciously stroked the cards on the table, "There is one missing from this deck." ”

In a solitary cell, the man who had once been called the Clown pulled out a piece of cardboard from his sleeve, and he himself couldn't tell why he had taken it on the spur of the moment.

Joker. (To be continued......)
