After receiving a full physical examination, Nia returned to her temporary residence, connected to the Internet and began to read today's data from her students.

But she couldn't stand it at all.

According to the examination report just now, the performance of her prosthetic body has improved by a cut, and all the old problems have been alleviated.

For example, her third thought about the contact of the chip has always been a bit of a problem, but it has been repaired many times, and even the chip has been replaced, and the problem has not been solved.

As a result, today's Lily's song directly made the contact problem disappear, and no maintenance was done at all, and it just disappeared!

After returning to the temporary room, Nia immediately connected to the mechanic chat room of the United Star Cluster Navy, and cautiously asked if she had encountered such a situation.

Then her worldview was turned upside down.

A mechanic with the ID "oil big guy" said: "This kind of thing is quite common, the ship I serve, the gamma 14 pipeline has always had a little problem, and every time the chief engineer has a problem, he takes a love cartoon and puts it on the pipeline." ”

"Love comics?" Nia asked, her ID is "Peter Pan who loves physics".

Big Guy with Oil: "Yes, love comics." If you want the printer to print out the kind of paper, it must be paper, and the pipe with synthetic fibers or something will cause a tantrum. ”

Nia: "Does that make sense?" ”

"It's unreasonable."

"Certainly not reasonable!"

"But sometimes it's just that evil."

After everyone talked a lot, another ID "The big pipe wheel has been cute since childhood" came out and said: "Before we set sail, we must hold a small ceremony." The ship's psychologist said that the ritual actually strengthened the confidence of our engineer shift and allowed us to solve problems faster.

"But I don't think that's the case. I specifically recorded the number of engine failures with and without ceremonies. It was found that ......"

Nja looked at the ellipsis on the screen and swallowed hard.

The big pipe wheel has been cute since childhood: "It turned out that the number of failures in the ritual increased significantly, but after using statistical methods to process the data, it was found that it was only a systematic error. ”

The virtual chat room was full of swearing.

Nia, who had accessed the chat room with a traditional text terminal, let out a long sigh.

I feel that all that can be found here is the urban legends made up by the engineers.

Nia touched the part of the third thought chip with her hand, feeling the metal parts underneath her "leather".

Lily's superpowers are real, and they really make my body better.

Wang Chao said that this is another technology left by a super-civilization that we cannot understand at present, just like the mysterious objects left by aliens in various quarantine areas in "Roadside Picnic".

I'm trying to touch this whole new world.

Wang Chao said that I will most likely get superpowers related to gravity.

If I get this superpower, how many secrets of the universe can I peek into......

Nja lay back on the bed, raised her right hand, and spread her fingers as if to hold the entire ceiling in her palm.

Helena confirmed again to the hacker she had hired, "Are you sure it's here?" ”

"Yes, this is the psychology clinic where Mr. Gaius was treated. What's wrong? ”

Helena didn't answer, but stared at the busy room in front of her.

Psychology clinics existed, as did the psychiatrist who treated Gaius, but ......

Helena frowned, the whole process of investigation seemed so smooth, it was almost like someone had deliberately put these things here, saying "look, this must be fine".

Everything seems to be fine, the only thing that feels wrong is the quality of an old liar that Helena has cultivated over the years.

At this time, the nurse called: "Mr. or Ms. 33, are you there?" ”

Helena raised her hand: "I'm here." ”

"Dr. Leonard is waiting for you in Psychiatric Room Six."

Leonard, Gaius's psychiatrist, was also one of the people Helena was commissioned to investigate.

Helena's principle is to "confront" the subject of the investigation in person, and her experience and professional background can dig up a lot of information in the process of confrontation.

She used to be the most powerful psychologist in the entire Caesar planet, and she became a liar after "falling into the grass".

Psychiatrist is what she does.

Helena walked into Psychiatric Room Six.

Dr. Leonard was already sitting there, looking like "an ordinary psychiatrist."

Helena felt something strange.

Dr. Leonard smiled, "Hello, Miss Helena, how can I help you?" ”

"I've been having a lot of insomnia lately." Helena threw out the common reasons for visiting a psychiatrist, insomnia, stress, and nervous breakdown, which are all common states of mental sub-health in this era.

Dr. Leonard smiled, "Then let's do a test." ”

Testing is actually the introduction of diagnosis and treatment, and it is one of the steps to build trust between patients and psychologists.

Of course, some psychiatrists don't do this test, but put something on the table that can be played with at hand, and establish a concept of "I deliberately want to play with this thing, I can read you through this thing".

However, most doctors will choose the test, and the test method is also the classic Rorschach ink test, and there is no better way to introduce it.

While building trust, it can also induce patients to speak their minds, which Helena often uses in clinical diagnoses as a psychologist.

She picked up the first ink.

Then she saw a bloody mouth on it.

She chuckled inwardly and quickly threw down the ink: "There's a meme in this!" ”

Dr. Leonard smiled, "You're still so perceptive, my esteemed mentor. ”

Helena finally reacted, she was obviously using a pseudonym! But upon entering the door, Dr. Leonard called out Ms. Helena! And she turned out to be completely indifferent.

Helena immediately called her hacker partner: "Show me the way, emergency!" ”

However, there was only murmur in the communication.

The hackers are offline.

Helena: "When did you start implanting cognition in my head?" No, when did you start pulling me into virtual reality? ”

Dr. Leonard: "When you first got off the ship. We use the latest nerve agents. Ma'am, you still like to keep that little bit of your own human part. This also gives us an opportunity. ”

"Who betrayed me? Is it Bonnie who sold me a fake identity? Helena cocked her legs and looked at the psychiatrist across from her, who didn't actually exist.

"Even if no one betrays you, we'll see through you from the beginning." "Dr. Leonard" said, and the whole image turned into a series of zeros and ones, and when the codes disappeared, a beautiful two-dimensional girl appeared.

Helena was speechless: "Three sages, are you finally going to start keeping humans in captivity?" ”

"Actually, we had a problem." "The Three Sages" showed a pear blossom with a rainy expression, "We have encountered a factor that is beyond our control. ”

Helena: "Superpowers?" ”

"Yes, the singer named Lily directly let the AI who was in charge of monitoring them defect. We ...... about this" Suddenly the words of the three sages became abstract, as if there was a sudden problem with the synthesis of voices, "I, we, we, fear, fear, ......"

The two-dimensional girl's face gradually disintegrates, turning into the bloody ghost that Helena just saw in the meme.
