Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 950 Leaking into various causes (Part )

The cold season is gradually passing. Although the four seasons here are not distinct and the flowers and trees in the hospital are always green, he gradually felt the heat of the day. All in all, he stayed in the hospital for more than two months. Two or three times during this period, he saw lights on in the rooms on other floors, and people in nurses' uniforms coming and going quietly. On a rainy and windy night, he was awakened by a howl that was so shrill that no human could utter it. Another time during the day, The commotion inside was said to be caused by outsiders trying to sneak in. However, the dean did not say clearly what happened.

"The situation is not good." She simply explained.

"Is this place going to close down?"

"No, the number of patients has increased. And unlike you, they are very aggressive types. For safety reasons, they must be strictly isolated."

Affected by this situation, he did not go downstairs again for a week or two. There was no one other than a nurse in the ward downstairs. Sometimes he would stand in the corridor and look around, trying to see the faces of so-called dangerous patients, but he never succeeded. The dean was still very busy and looked increasingly haggard and sleepy. Because he had known her for a while, he finally couldn't help but ask her what she usually did.

"Is there really that much to do?"

"The hospital is fine, it's an outside matter. Besides here, there are several institutions that need me to manage for the time being."

"But you're not that tired, right?"

"It's just a busy period of time, just stick to it."

She said this, not caring about her state of being ready to die from overwork at any time. But "this period of time" never ends. When he was bored, Cai Ji also guessed what the "management organization" she mentioned was about, but he understood that what he imagined was actually scenes from movies. What do people in offices usually do? Those people sit in comfortable armchairs all day, out of the rain and out of the sun, and only need to use the keyboard and mouse, but they look exhausted when they come home from get off work. It wasn't like he was pretending, so he often felt strange secretly. He told the dean this idea, and the other party just smiled calmly.

"If you want to know this, just try it yourself."

"Me? I can't."

"Just learn it. Anyway, there is no technical threshold for ordinary clerk's work. As long as you master computer courses and official document writing - no, if you are only seventeen years old, you can also learn other general courses by the way. In terms of foreign languages, at least simple English should be mastered.”

"what?"

"No problem. It's easy for people of your age to learn things. If you work hard, you can master it in two or three weeks."

"No way, I can't do it."

"It's easy to get started. You'll know it once you try it. I'll find some teaching materials to show you in a few days."

Although the dean inexplicably had confidence in him, Cai Ji knew his own weight. Although I was forced to give up my studies at the beginning because of life pressure, I really didn’t have the talent to study and study. My only advantage was that I could endure hardship - and even this was gradually worn away by the day-to-day work. Thinking that the dean actually thought he could be a clerk made him sweat all over. After thinking about it, he still said: "With me like this, there is no point in studying. No company would want a mentally ill person."

The dean absentmindedly held an empty drink can - since there were other patients in the hospital, she often ate and drank while talking to Cai Ji - she deflated it from both sides and then tried to bulge it up. "Your disease," she said, still staring at the sip opening of the jar, and continued to speak, but finally stopped. She obviously changed her words and asked: "Remember what we said here when we first met, right?"

"Yeah. I probably still remember."

"I said at the time that I would have to wait for some time before telling you about your condition."

The dean studied his expression. "Do you have any ideas of your own?"

At that time, his throat was very dry and he was so nervous that he wanted to cough. But he still avoided the topic carefully, as if walking close to a high-voltage power line.

"...I have never taken any medicine, and I have never had any physical examination. Is that okay?"

"No need. If you think taking medicine will make you feel more at ease, I'll ask the nurse to get you some vitamin tablets as a placebo."

"I thought people with this kind of disease needed to take medicine."

"When you lived here, you didn't have hallucinations, right? Nor did you have uncontrollable paranoid thoughts. In this case, there is no need to prescribe medicine for you."

"The physical examination..."

"Cai Ji, do you believe Xiaochu is real?"

Ignoring his words, the dean asked himself. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly.

"Have you not considered that this person is a figment of your imagination? Like an imaginary friend?"

"No way. Xiaochu is real."

"In this case, what he said and the message he sent you can be considered true, right? Similarly, what you went to look for him is also true. So in this order, the night you went to look for him, so Is what you saw true?”

"Yes... not exactly."

"Where is the boundary between illusion and reality? You said that you saw the ghost of Xiaochu. This is impossible based on common sense. In other words, this part is just your illusion. Maybe Xiaochu is not dead at all——"

"No, he's dead. It was him."

He said it without thinking. The interrupted dean didn't say anything, he just leaned on his chair and waited for his next words. However, apart from repeating his thoughts over and over again, he couldn't say anything useful.

"He is dead... killed by that so-called engineer. What I saw was his ghost..."

"How are you sure it's the soul of a dead person?"

"It's a ghost. Living people don't do that."

Seeing how convinced he was, the dean just lowered his head slightly, and then said: "I heard about you last time, and I also used my own connections to find the Xiaocu you mentioned."

"That……"

"Not found. No one matches your statement. So he is not in this city."

The room was quiet. Finally the dean said: "Perhaps he went somewhere other than this city."

Knowing that she was just trying to comfort him, he could only reluctantly agree. The dean looked at him and asked, "Are you very close?"

"...Not really. I just recognize him."

"If you just recognize him, you don't have to go to that place for him. Are you prepared to risk your life to rescue him?"

Cai Ji immediately denied her statement. "I won't fight for him. The most I can do is call the police on his behalf."

"Have you never thought of sacrificing yourself?"

"of course not!"

The dean looked him over again.

"That's fine - try not to have any thoughts of giving up your life, so that you don't get caught up in something dangerous."

"Dangerous stuff?"

"Yes. It is a kind of insect that loves to scream. As long as someone has the idea of ​​​​suicide, especially if they are thinking of using their own life in exchange for something, it will buzz and fly over. At this time, if you go to it again If you make a request, your life will be sucked away by it until your entire life is taken away.”

"……real or fake?"

"Sorry, it's false. But it's better not to commit suicide."

The dean who fucked him for the second time got up and Shi Shiran left. And Cai Ji finally realized that this man was not as upright as he seemed. He was thinking depressedly about Xiao Chu and that night that could not be reasonably explained, and he forgot about his doubts about his illness. Fortunately, the dean came again within a few days. This time he was in excellent condition, and even the circles under his eyes that had always been there had faded. When he saw it, he couldn't help but blurt out and asked: "Has all the work outside been solved?"

"It can't be said to be a solution. But I have locked up the troublemaker. Since you think it would be better for me to do something than starve to death, let him starve for a few days first."

Not sure if this was her tricking someone again, Cai Ji had no choice but to respond. The dean pulled out a chair and sat down beside the bed. His eyes were refreshed and his face was filled with joy.

"How are you today?"

"Okay, okay."

"The weather is nice. I brought a few junior high school general education textbooks - I originally wanted to bring the high school textbooks directly, but I thought it would be better to review the most basic parts first - they are all here, you can start by yourself Let's see."

Outside the window of the ward, the strong wind before the thunderstorm was blowing the glass. The dean dragged a large suitcase she brought to Cai Ji's bedside. "That should be enough for you to watch for a while."

Just watching it for a lifetime is enough. Cai Ji thought to himself that he really didn't have the courage to open the suitcase. He said with increasing urgency: "I want to know my illness..."

"In a few weeks."

"That……"

"You don't have to take medicine."

"That's not it. I want to ask something else."

"What do you want to ask?"

"what's your name?"

The dean finally took his satisfied eyes away from the suitcase. "It's really timely for you to ask this question now."

When she said this, Cai Ji suddenly became embarrassed again. It's not that he doesn't know basic courtesy. If he met someone in society before, he would certainly know to ask for their name first. But since he missed it when they first spoke, and the title was not used at all in subsequent conversations, he never asked.

He explained it this way. But the dean just said: "Then what's the need to know now?"

"I'm going out sooner or later, right? Then at least I have to have a title."

"Are you saying that you are not going to cut off contact with this place after you go out?" This time the dean did not laugh, but Cai Ji was already extremely embarrassed. He said bravely: "I am not an ungrateful person."

"Really? If you think I have done you any favors, just call me a benefactor."

"That's too awkward. It's not like setting up a show."

The dean said casually: "You can also call the teacher."

This title, based on the current situation, can be said to be consistent with both the facts and his secret expectations. However, when he tried to shout out, he still felt uncomfortable; it seemed too respectful, and the other party was obviously not that mature. Seeing his embarrassment, the dean thought again.

"...Call me boss. If you feel comfortable with it."

"what?"

"If it's not official, it's not official. I'm half your mentor. There's no problem in calling me boss."

Although he didn't understand why she regarded herself as a mentor and why she called her "mentor" "boss", Cai Ji still accepted the title. Anyway, compared to "teacher" and "benefactor", "boss" is a smooth word for him. And no matter how slow he is, he can still taste the hints in this word. He couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that even if he left the hospital in the future, he would still be able to get help from the other person - but why couldn't he just name it directly? He kept this doubt in his mind and just asked: "Why are you willing to help me?"

"It's not directed at you. Generally speaking, I should be responsible for all people who suffer from similar diseases as you. But if you must say it, we can be considered to be somewhat destined."

"……Have it?"

The dean turned his gaze, looked at the calendar recently hung on the wall, and then said with a smile: "Just treat it as a matter of the previous life."

"Then, why are you responsible for people who are as sick as me?"

"This is considered an exchange with others. I also have what I want."

"what do you want?"

The dean tilted his head to one side, as if trying to avoid the question.

"Cai Ji, do you miss your past life?"

Cai Ji stared at her blankly.

"When you were in the auto repair shop, your life was pretty good, right? At that time, your job was stable and your friends didn't have any accidents. Do you miss that time?"

"There are some."

"So, have you ever thought about taking revenge on those who ruined this situation?"

"You mean the people in the old shipyard?"

"No, I'm talking about the people who went to the store to cause trouble. Before going to the shipyard, they made you lose your job, right? According to the news Xiaochu sent you, I'm afraid his departure was also related to those people."

The dean slowly reminded him of the infuriating past, but to Cai Ji it seemed like it happened a lifetime ago. He tried hard to recall his feelings at that time, but he could only say: "I have no ability to retaliate against them."

"Just some hooligans, right?"

"No, I heard that some of them have family backgrounds. Even the boss of our place... I mean the boss of the car repair shop, there is nothing we can do against them. I am nothing to them."

When he told this fact, he couldn't help but feel a wave of self-loathing. The calmness I felt when talking to the dean suddenly disappeared. The dreamlike life in front of us, as well as the perception of self-status arising from this life, are just temporary illusions. He is still the little person who is like an ant and no one cares about him. He is still a marginalized person abandoned by this society. So what if you get help from a noble person? Receiving benefits for no reason sounds like a villain's success, which is not earned by one's own ability at all.

Compared to the turmoil in his heart, the dean was just thinking quietly to himself.

"If you have the ability to retaliate in the future, what are you going to do?"

"I don't have that ability."

"So it's a hypothesis."

What's the point of this hypothesis, he thought? To launch cruel revenge on the evil forces that bullied you is the plot in the movie. In fact, even if he is really prosperous, sits in an office, and does a job that everyone thinks is promising, will he be able to do anything extraordinary? Even if you have a fight with someone, you might lose your job. All he could do was laugh dryly.

"If I were really that capable, I would drive them all to the streets to beg and make them as homeless as little people."

"Have you never thought of killing them?"

"what?"

He stared blankly at the dean in front of him. As if he didn't realize how shocking his speech was, the dean said as usual: "Although they were not direct murderers, their actions also indirectly killed your friends. I never considered killing their family members. Revenge?"

"What?" he stammered, "Kill, kill?"

"Well, kill the troublemakers, or their families as well."

"It's not that bad!"

"Don't you think Xiao Chu is dead?"

"Then killing is also illegal! And...and..."

"And what?"

"Xiao Chu's affairs can't all be their fault. If they really want to kill people, those trash don't have the guts."

"Really? That's a shame."

"What's a pity?"

The director moved his face slightly closer to him and said very calmly: "Actually, the real purpose of this hospital is to develop the potential superpowers of special humans. If you wanted to take revenge on them, I would immediately give you this power. Whether it’s killing them themselves or uprooting the forces that protect them, there’s nothing you can’t do if you want.”

"Is it fake?"

"Indeed. You finally learned to believe in reality."

Cai Ji wanted to pretend to be speechless, but he still smiled. He felt a little sourness in his nose, and said with force, "If I had super powers, I might as well kill the liar in the shipyard."

"No need. He's dead."

"……what?"

The Dean leaned back in his chair again. She declared in an unmistakable voice: "The man you are talking about is dead."

"how do you know?"

"I went to investigate. Basically, I verified everything you said. I entrusted someone to investigate the old shipyard and the place where you originally worked. So, those who made you lose your job , and the people behind them, I know all their identities.”

After saying this in an understatement, she sat there, quietly waiting for Cai Ji to recover from the shock.

"...Do you want to help me take revenge?"

"Well, it would be interesting if that family was really bankrupt."

After almost completely destroying his image with one sentence, the dean followed up and said: "Since you think it can't be considered their responsibility, then forget it. I can provide you with a better job for the job you lost."

Everything developed so fast that Cai Ji couldn't recover for a while. After being stunned for a long time, he could only ask blankly: "Why should you give me something better?"

"I'm just giving you a better job. There are some things that I can't make up for you. If you regret it one day in the future, it doesn't matter if you use what I gave you to retaliate against those people. But -"

The dean's palm resting on his knee was slightly raised, with the three middle fingers pointing upward, vaguely like a gesture when swearing to God.

"Since we have decided not to attribute responsibility to them now, we cannot retaliate beyond the limit in the future."

"What's over the limit?"

"You will know when the time comes - use whatever I give you, even if you spend money to throw them all into the African rainforest, it will not be considered a violation of my request. Otherwise, even if I can no longer If I try to stop you in any way, I will never forgive you.”

Hearing her serious words, Cai Ji couldn't help but laugh.

"How can I have that kind of ability! Are you going to give me 10 billion? If you are really so rich, are you still afraid that I won't listen to you?"

"Because I'm going to die soon."

"What? Are you terminally ill?"

"No, I will probably be abandoned by the people above. Although there has not been a formal notice, the execution notice has been sent to me. Maybe he is not satisfied with my work, so he wants to kill me and replace me with someone else. Someone will take over my position. If I plan to replace you with management, I will have to negotiate good terms with you first, otherwise my original work will be in vain. "

"Is this made up again? Is it the same as the previous superpower development?"

The dean sighed.

"Are you not fooled at all? It seems that I will use a different explanation next time."

Cai Ji tried hard to laugh. He covered his stomach with both hands, pretending to be out of breath from laughing, but he glanced at the person beside the bed. The dean just sat there quietly, with no expression on his face.
