Chapter 162: Short Life, Separation (Supplement)
PS:
12.19.
Chapters 158-161 are overhauled.
Increase the plot: destroy the 'source of pain', kill FBI agent Ruth, gain a lot of experience points and move up to level 17, and reasonably accept the less scary little Mike.
Book friends who haven't read it.
You can watch it directly at the top of the table of contents in the 'Work Related' section (deleted on the 25th).
If you don't look at it, it doesn't affect the follow-up very much
Limited by space.
The revisions are very rough, mainly to increase the rationality and rhythm of the plot.
Won't do anything like this in the future.
I'm so sorry.
Here is the text:
...
Dean had wanted to take little Mike away.
But the other party is unwilling.
It's not because of reluctance.
It's just that every plant and tree in this place, Xiao Mike is very familiar with it, and he can crawl around with his eyes closed, which is convenient for him to devote himself to studying and studying synthetic hormones.
Seeing this, Dean didn't force it.
He contacted the team that took care of Mike.
"Here's the recipe."
Little Mike gave his most precious thing to Dean:
"Dean, there are very few people who can make me want to communicate, and I have nothing to do to come to see me more.
It would be even better if you could read more books, I have only talked to people on the Internet about research, but they are not as simple as you and like to look up my location. ”
Dean carefully hid the recipe and said with a smile: "Good people will always be feared, you are like this, and so am I, so we are the same kind."
In short, little Mike, I will do my best to help you regain your lost emotional empathy ability, if you have any needs, just tell me directly. ”
Xiao Mike nodded: "Actually, I prefer you to stay and live with me, I have the ability to make money to support you, you don't have to waste time with those low-IQ peers." ”
In addition to being a little less knowledgeable, Dean can keep up with his own ideas in many ways, and is a very suitable communication partner, the key is to take care of his own life.
Think about it both from the point of view of self-interest and from the point of view of communication needs.
Dean is the best partner for him.
Little Mac even considered stuning Dean and imprisoning him.
But after careful calculations in his brain, he wisely abandoned the idea in the end.
It's a long time coming.
For this 'partner'.
Little Mike is still very satisfied.
Dean didn't know what strange thoughts little Mike's emotionless head was thinking, but he felt a little chill in the back of his head inexplicably.
He glanced at the time, thinking that it was getting cooler, so he said:
"I have borrowed a professional medical team and conditioning experts from a friend to come here, and they will take care of you for the time being, and wait until your body is almost recuperated, and then consider the research thing."
Little Mike's health is too poor.
Dean 'Adventure' contacted Joss for help.
Ruosi didn't know what he was busy with recently, and he hadn't appeared in front of Dean for some days, but he agreed to Dean's request very happily and directly handed over his health management team to Dean.
Let's be honest.
If it weren't for the fact that Ruoss would be fine as soon as he appeared in front of him, Dean still liked Ruoss as a generous friend.
...
Wait for the process.
Under Dean's guidance, the two chatted about some of Mike's discoveries on the Internet.
Mike's most powerful ability is not the study and research of biology and machinery, but the understanding and improvement of network technology.
Because this is the only way for him to learn about the outside world and secretly obtain some secret knowledge.
By Little Mike.
Only then did Dean know that in many places, the United States has secretly built biological laboratories to conduct some terrifying biological experiments, and even some studies that make people's scalps tingle when they hear about it.
Besides.
There are also many private laboratories that also have deep research in organ transplantation, cell science, genetics, etc., and the level is far beyond the medical discoveries on the surface.
For example, AIDS, which is deadly in the outside world, and some cancers.
In these laboratories, there are clear treatments and means.
In addition to the scary high price..
But these means, let alone contact with ordinary people.
They don't even have the qualifications to know.
In a word.
Chatting with little Mike, Dean learned a lot.
Just when the two were chatting.
Dean's phone rang.
The man sent by Jos has arrived.
Little Mike glanced at a few cars outside the villa and said, "Do you need me to disguise myself as a normal person to communicate with them?" ”
Through his father's teachings and the study and simulation in movies and TV series, he can disguise 'emotional' fluctuations in life, but because he can't understand it, it will seem a little weird.
Dean shook his head directly: "You just think of yourself as a child who has just lost a loved one and doesn't like to talk, these people are just for temporary use, and when I make money with your recipe, I will build a special base for you and find a suitable assistant." ”
"Like a source of pain?"
"No, it's better, because in my vision, it's a hole card, a self-protecting hole card... Anyway, it's a very important thing, and you're the core, so I need you to have a good body until then. ”
"Well, that seems to be better for me in the long run, and I'll try to keep myself on standby, but I need an exact time because I'm worried that I'm not going to live to be an adult."
Little Mike lowered his head: "I hope that before I die, I can really feel happy, sad, missing, like... Rather than relying on guesswork and camouflage simulations. ”
Dean: "... Yes! ”
..
Open the villa door.
Several cars, along with two medical vans, were parked outside the estate.
The medical team and conditioning experts sent by Ruosi add up to more than 20 people, most of whom will leave after formulating a plan, and a few will stay to take care of Mike.
After a brief introduction and verification of identity.
Little Mike was taken to the hospital van by them and began a detailed medical examination.
I don't know why.
While Dean was waiting for the results, he remembered what Little Michael had just said from time to time, and couldn't help but be a little irritable: Damn, it won't just run into a good subordinate, and the other party will hang up!
He took out the formula that Xiao Mike handed him, and couldn't help but be even more annoyed.
Because he only needed the "man's lucky star", as a result, Xiao Mike added the remaining two chemical synthesis formulas to the back of the formula.
Dean knew that this was a means for little Mike to get closer to him, without the slightest emotional factor.
But he likes to be tempted!
There is one thing to say.
Xiao Mike is a partner who only talks about interests, does not understand feelings, but also has a clear understanding of the value of his own things, knows that he will not have messy thoughts and emotions if he suffers, and he is also very rational in communication.
Normal men would like it.
After all, no one can refuse a weak and bulliful, non-clingy, little desire and demand, and give you an advantage.
So in Dean's heart, he really hopes that there is no hidden danger to Mike's health.
What to be afraid of, what to come.
Little Mike went in for only ten minutes.
A middle-aged woman with a serious expression took a paper report and found Dean with an ugly face: "Mr. Dean, may I ask this child, is there any congenital hormone defect, his endocrine system seems to be collapsing!" ”
Dean's face froze, he couldn't hide it, and nodded: "He suffers from congenital affective disorder." ”
How do you know.
The female expert shook her head directly; "Normal congenital affective disorder tends to be a psychiatric disorder, and he is completely lacking in the secretion of emotional hormones.
It's a very deadly thing, and I think it's amazing that he's survived until now. ”
"Why?" Dean was a little puzzled.
In his opinion, in addition to the dead fish face, Mike's tone and cognition are a little weird, and his body is a little weaker, and he doesn't seem to have any big problems.
"It's a very complicated issue, how to put it..."
For the sake of Dean's good appearance and the requirements of Lord Ruoskin, the female expert put her hands on her hands, knocked on her head, and said in popular science:
"Emotions are the product of various hormones and chemical reactions in our body.
For example, joy, anger, sorrow, thought, sadness, fear, and shock.
In addition to these mainstream perceptions.
Actually, hungry, tired, aching...
These are the emotions and cognitions that these hormones respond to and feed back to us.
But that kid didn't have it in his body!
He will not know that he is hungry, he will not know that it is pain when he looks at the wound, and all his senses and cognitions can only be formed through learning. ”
"But if there is a special person to take care of it and be careful, none of this is fatal!" Dean understood, and was even more confused.
The female expert nodded:
"That's true.
But you forget that the human body is a big factory, and each part works all kinds of magic with each other.
He lacks a lot of hormones, which is equivalent to missing some parts.
These have an impact on the body as a whole. ”
"For example?"
"Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys... These will have an impact.
Here's an example and you'll find it clear:
When encountering danger, the human body will secrete a large amount of adrenaline, which stimulates people to burst out of their potential to survive.
The premise of this is that your kidneys have the presence of these hormones...
Anyway, in the end, it depends on the results of the examination, and I will just briefly speculate. ”
The female expert said it more tactfully.
But Dean knew that the end result might not be optimistic.
Seeing Dean didn't speak.
The female expert took out a lady's cigarette from her pocket and lit it, explaining: "This is your brother? ”
"Almost." , Dean pinched the formula in his pocket and said in annoyance: "If he is really the same as you guessed, with the current medical technology, is there a way to solve it?" ”
"If you have enough money, you can find out what treats what.
After all, there are a lot of synthetic hormones nowadays.
Other injuries can also be metabolized in other ways, and the human body also has a compensatory function.
But no matter what method is used, there is a limit.
And synthetic hormones, by themselves, have a great impact on the person as a whole.
In my experience.
Your brother is safe and sound now, as long as his body has not yet begun to explode, so he barely supports it by compensation, and waits...
Next, you can spend more time with him. ”
Dean nodded silently.
In fact, the recipe is already in hand.
He doesn't lose left or right.
But the living little Mike is more valuable.
Dean exhaled a puff of smoke and said no more, quietly waiting for the result.
These experts are familiar with each other and work together.
Someone is in charge of various inspections, someone is responsible for inductive analysis...
More than an hour later.
End of check.
A report was handed to Dean.
Looking at the report, there were more than a dozen red annotations of different lengths, Dean said in a deep voice: "Is there a suitable conditioning plan?" ”
The expert in charge of communication shook his head:
"Almost everywhere in his body, he had a failure of varying degrees and only because the child was unresponsive that he seemed fine...
Even if it is well recuperated.
The older he gets, the more overwhelmed his body becomes, and he can only last two or three years at most.
Unless... Taking a big risk, replacing the organs and blood of his whole body may be able to achieve some relief, but there is basically no structure to do this. ”
Call~
Dean let out a depressed breath: "Got it, don't let him know the result, and try not to communicate with him, just do your thing!" ”
The expert nodded and left.
Take the money to do things.
They still have a great work ethic.
The other side.
Little Mike didn't care about the results of his tests.
He got into his electric wheelchair and let several female nurses walk around the living room of the villa, familiarizing themselves with the environment, setting up cameras and so on for the back of the owner's house to inspect.
Dean walked up to Little Mike with a relaxed expression: "Man, the result is okay, you are a little malnourished, as long as..."
"Don't lie to me, Dean."
Xiao Mike looked abrupt: "Although I can't tell the truth of what you say, my understanding and defects of my body are no worse than those people, so I don't want to waste time, because my time is no longer enough..."
Dean opened his mouth to say something, but finally gave up comfort: "Okay, the situation is really not good, I will find a way to fulfill your wish before you leave." ”
Little Mike doesn't need this false comfort.
He will only feel that this is a meaningless act of low IQ.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just giving myself a reason to live!"
"Well, I'm done with the things at hand, I'll come to see you again, and I'll contact you by phone if I have something."
Dean ran away.
I don't know why.
He rarely felt guilty, a little uneasy, and reflected on whether it was a little unreasonable for him to take advantage of such a child.
He needs to calm down now.
After a while, my conscience is blackened, and then come here!
...
Courtyard with fallen leaves.
Dean hurried away.
Little Mike sat in an electric wheelchair, without mood swings, silently watched Dean's back leave, until he disappeared in front of him for a long time, and then disappeared into the living room with the electric wheelchair remotely.
