Extraordinary pedigree

Xia Xiu walked slowly along the corridor. When he appeared, many patients, doctors and nurses in the corridor focused their attention on him, and he gave these people an unusually bright smile. , the patient was indifferent to his smile, while the doctors and nurses looked at him with frowning eyebrows.

Never before has a patient coming out of Room 101 been able to maintain such a bright smile.

They cast their wary eyes on the number plate on the chest of the blond young man. When they found that the plate said "good", many of them relaxed their frowns, while others still remained vigilant.

The blond young man stared back at these people indifferently.

Just as Xia Xiu and the doctors and nurses were staring at each other, a white intelligent machine floated in front of him.

The overall shape of this intelligent machine is very cute. Its body shows smooth curves full of futuristic feeling. It is painted with bright white paint. Its face uses a large prototype display with a pair of blue eyes. , looks bright and full of cuteness, looks like two crystal sapphires.

Under the machine's eyes, there is a human-like machine mouth. It can smoothly simulate various human expressions and make smooth and beautiful sounds. The mechanical arms and legs are designed to be very flexible, as if they are made up of countless independent It is made up of small pieces that can move flexibly and freely to achieve various movements and operations. Every detail of the entire machine is designed to be very delicate and full of mechanical texture.

[BK-201, welcome to the [Institute of Truth], a big family that helps each other. I am [Cocoa], the mascot here. My existence is to serve you. If you need it, you can call my name and I will do my best to help you. 】

The extremely cute shota sound comes from [Kokoa]. When it speaks, it especially likes to add the word "la" to every sentence to look cute.

Xia Xiu stopped, his golden eyes glanced up and down at the white intelligent machine, and then sighed:

"The Institute of Truth is really advanced and unusual."

[Yes, [The Institute of Truth] is the most advanced mental sanatorium in the world! 】

【(*^▽^*)】

Looking at [Kokoa] who showed a happy expression, the corners of the blond young man's mouth also turned up happily, and he said to [Kokoa]:

"Are you really going to do your best to help me with anything?"

[Of course not, I have a bottom line! I won't help you escape from prison. Every new patient likes to ask me this question. 】

【(〃'▽'〃)】

"Don't worry, I won't make any particularly excessive demands." Xia Xiu patted [Kokoya's] round mechanical head familiarly, assuring him that he wouldn't make any unreasonable demands.

The index finger of his right hand was swinging, touching [Kokoya's] round mechanical chin as if teasing a puppy's chin.

"When you see me next time, just bark like a dog."

【(︿)】

"When I see you, I think of my dog. He is as white and clean as you, well-behaved and obedient. Now I am too far away from him. I hope you can play him, so that you can fill the vacancy in my heart." Xia Xiu He wiped the non-existent tears from his eyes with a pretentious expression.

【⊙︿⊙】

"Aren't you willing to do this for me? Aren't we a big family that we promised to help each other?" Xia Xiu continued to speak to [Kokoya] in a contrived tone.

At this time, many patients were looking at [Kokoa], and the blond young man was also looking at it expectantly, and the scene became very quiet for a while.

【⊙﹏⊙】

The blond young man blinked and looked at it expectantly.

【······】

The other patients stared at it intently.

【···Woof woof~】

"Good dog, good dog."

"Come on, scream a few more times and let me hear you."

Xia Xiu stretched out his hand and patted [Kokoya] vigorously with a satisfied look on his face, while many nearby patients couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud. Many patients even went out of their way to surround [Kokoya] with expectant expressions on their faces. Wait for it to continue barking.

"What are you people doing!!!"

A sharp sound sounded. Many patients surrounding Xia Xiu and [Kokoya] couldn't help but tremble when they heard the sound. Xia Xiu, on the other hand, looked at the speaker above. The sound came from the speaker. It came from inside.

At the same time as the sound came from the speaker, the cameras that were swinging randomly around the wall were specifically focused on Xia Xiu. They were like eyes, staring closely.

"It's almost time to take medicine. Everyone asked me to go to the medicine management office in front of me on time to find the administrator to take the medicine."

After hearing the words of the female voice on the loudspeaker, everyone consciously walked towards the drug management office, while Xia Xiu naturally followed the crowd towards the so-called drug management office. The voice on the loudspeaker was probably the so-called head nurse. And he doesn't intend to confront the head nurse yet.

Although he can be forced to wake up from his dream at any time, if he wakes up this time, it will be difficult to enter the dream again next time. If he is kicked out this time, with Atliff's caution, she will definitely close it. Most dream portals sacrifice some dream computing resources in exchange for safety.

Xia Xiu's purpose in entering the dream was not only to find Atliff's master, but also to use the power of the angels of heaven to stir things up... his subjective initiative, he wanted to add some spice to this dream. If he could play it, That's even better.

When Xia Xiu consciously queued up to follow these patients to receive medicine, the camera also rotated for a while. After confirming that Xia Xiu was really queuing honestly, the camera returned to the original random rotation mode, and [Coco] who stayed in place Ya]'s head turned 360 degrees and then continued his work.

···········

Drug Administration.

Patients wearing uniform hospital uniforms lined up in an orderly manner. Each patient here had a different look on his face. Some looked heavy, some were dumbfounded, some were restless, and some seemed at a loss.

"Next, BK-028."

"Here, take medicine."

"Juice or water."

"Okay, open your mouth."

"No problem, next one."

The nurses handed out the medicines expressionlessly, repeating the same words over and over again.

Under the influence of drugs, some of the patients were drowsy, some were meditative, some were fidgeting with their fingers, and some were still staring blankly ahead, as if they were numb to their situation. The entire drug administration process seemed lifeless, as if the patients' thoughts and feelings had been turned into a mechanical program without any personality or independence.

Soon, it was Xia Xiu's turn.

"Next, BK-201."

The nurse continued to read the names on the list expressionlessly. After she finished reading, the blond young man standing behind her walked forward obediently.

"Here, here's the medicine."

The nurse handed Xia Xiu a white lid containing medicine, and then pointed to two transparent cups placed on the table nearby: one cup contained water, and the other cup contained juice.

"Juice or water?" the nurse asked Xia Xiufa.

Xia Xiu naturally took the white lid, put the white pill inside into his mouth, and then picked up the juice.

"Of course I chose the juice." Xia Xiu smiled at the nurse, then put the cup to his lips, raised his neck, and drank the juice in a big gulp.

Soon, the juice was finished. Xia Xiu slowly put down the juice cup with a satisfied smile on his lips.

"The juice is delicious."

Xia Xiu turned the empty juice glass upside down. Not a drop of excess liquid dripped out, and then he opened his mouth and moved his tongue flexibly to ensure that he had swallowed the medicine.

After drinking the medicine, it is time for social activities. Patients during this time can participate in various social activities organized in the hospital, including group chats, cultural courses, entertainment activities, etc.

Xia Xiu naturally wandered around inside the [Investment of Truth].

The internal environment of the [Institution of Truth] is extremely monotonous, with no decoration on the gray walls and it looks very deserted. When you walk into the wards, you can see neatly arranged beds, and there are at least one to three patients in each ward. , they lay there quietly, their eyes full of numbness; the light in the ward was very dim, making people feel depressed and gloomy.

The air in the hospital was filled with the smell of medicine, with a pungent smell that made people frown. In the ward marked [Control], coughs and slight moans came from time to time, making people feel upset and unable to rest.

When you come to the corridor, you can see rows of closed rooms, with the patient's name and medical record number hanging on the door.

At the end of the corridor is the nurse's station, which is the bridge between patients and nurses and is responsible for the patient's daily care and medical work.

Next to the nurse's station is a pharmacy, with medication lists hanging on the wall, with the patient's name, drug name, dosage and medication time written on it.

The range of activities of patients is also strictly restricted. Notices saying "Patients and dogs are not allowed to enter" are posted in many places, which states that they cannot go out unless accompanied by a nurse.

There is a small garden in the hospital with some flowers, plants and trees, so that patients can get some spiritual comfort.

However, this small garden is surrounded by high walls, and the patients can only move around in this closed space.

Depressed, closed, and monotonous, this is the feeling that [The Institute of Truth] gives people. All patients are strictly restricted in a controlled environment.

Here, any freedom is deprived, and helplessness and despair permeate the surroundings.

Xia Xiu came to a bench in the small garden and sat down. The sunlight fell on him from the sky, giving him a warm feeling.

The authenticity of [Dreamland] has always been one of the research focuses of the paranormal academic community. It has long been confirmed that you can physically travel to the four major areas of [Dreamland] through the gaps in space. There are often things in the lairs of ghouls. The passage connecting [Dreamland], and the central area of ​​the Oletin Empire has a large singularity linking [Dreamland·Cold Plateau].

Xia Xiu usually has the habit of reading cutting-edge thaumaturgy research reports, but he has not understood it in depth. After all, there are so many cutting-edge research reports on [Ether Ocean] that they can be stacked up into a mountain.

"You didn't take the medicine just now."

Just when Xia Xiu was dazing in the sun, a voice full of affirmation sounded from beside him. He lazily turned his head to look at the speaker.

A woman with freckles on her face and straight features was sitting on the other side of the bench. She looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Julia was staring at the blond young man next to her with burning eyes at this time. The reason why she said that just now was because she felt that the guy in front of her was her kind. In fact, she did not actually see him hiding or spitting out medicine. , the reason why she was so sure was simply because she wanted to blow up the other party.

The true meaning of deception lies in making promises, so you must remain sincere and affirmative when deceiving others.

For Julia, whether the other party hides it or not, it has no impact on her.

Facing Julia who was swearing, the blond young man yawned boredly, and said to Julia in a casual tone:

"When I was about to swallow the pill, I secretly moved the pill to the left with my tongue and hid it in my mouth. I opened my mouth again to signal to the nurse that I had swallowed the pill, and then stepped away. The nurse did not find anything abnormal and continued to give the pill. Others distributed the drugs.”

"Then, I hid the pill on my right cheek, gently crushed the pill with my tongue, and gently dissolved the pill powder. When the nurse left, I gently spit out the pill powder in my mouth. , hidden in his pants pocket."

The sun shines brightly from the top of the head, and the soft light casts a faint shadow on the body of the blond young man. His body is slightly tilted up, immersing his body in the warm sunshine, and his golden eyes are full of cats. The mouse-catcher looked at Julia, who was stiff.

"The above are the technical operations of dear BK-028. They are really skillful operations. It seems that you have done this before."

Julia, who was originally full of confidence, was completely off guard at this time. She subconsciously touched her right pocket. This pocket was secretly opened on her hospital gown. It was very hidden and ordinary people could not notice her. Hidden pocket on the right side.

Xia Xiu didn't care at all about the little girl's embarrassment at this time, and directly asked Julia:

"Miss 028, do you have anything to do with me?"

"..." Julia was still in an extremely embarrassing situation, so she didn't know how to answer.

"Well, it's not convenient for you to say now, so let me guess."

Xia Xiu rubbed his chin, looked at the silent Julia and continued:

"What kind of resistance organization did you set up? The purpose of this organization is to resist the authority of the head nurse."

"..." Julia continued to remain silent.

The corners of Xia Xiu's mouth curled up, and he continued to say as if nothing had happened:

"Let me guess, this organization must have a clear action plan. Do you think it is the following:

One: Get close to key figures: The organization tries to get close to the head nurse, or other figures who hold a lot of power, to obtain more information in order to better understand the [House of Truth] and find its weaknesses.

Two: Building alliances: Organizations need to establish connections with other patients, find allies, and plan joint actions, such as launching a collective protest or escaping.

Three: Use intelligence: The organization needs to try to obtain more intelligence, understand how the [Institute of Truth] operates, and look for opportunities to disintegrate the system from within.

Four: Avoid ideological correctors: If someone within the organization is considered a problem patient or ideological heretic, they need to avoid being discovered by ideological correctors and keep a low profile as much as possible. "

Julia's face turned pale at this time, and the blond young man asked her with a warm smile:

"Do you think I guessed it right?"
