from night city

……

Su Xiao drove the car to a place still some distance away from Sequoia Mental Hospital.

Drive directly to the door, that would be too conspicuous.

This is more suitable.

"V. Jack, you stay in the car for now while Lucy and I go over to investigate the situation."

Su Xiao's tactical eyepiece has an anti-detection interference function.

Lucy was also implanted with an anti-detection jammer.

When the two of them were photographed by the monitor, their entire bodies would be covered in a thick mosaic, making it impossible to capture anything at all.

Moreover, even if others used prosthetics to scan the two of them, they could not scan out any information.

So it would be most appropriate for him and Lucy to go scouting.

V nodded: "Then we will wait for you in the car."

Jack sat down from the passenger seat to where Su Xiao was just now: "I will not turn off the car, and I will be ready to respond at any time."

"Then let's go, Lucy."

Su Xiao got out of the car and took Lucy towards the Sequoia Mental Hospital.

Chapter 57 I just wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person.

Lucy asked suddenly as the two passed through the wall of Sequoia Mental Hospital.

"What are you going to do?"

"It depends on the situation, but we'd better leave with the target without alerting anyone."

Lucy covered her mouth and smiled.

"Why are you laughing?" Su Xiao couldn't help but feel strange.

"It's okay if you don't say this, but if you say this, I always feel that we may have to kill each other later."

Su Xiao: "..."

As the two approached, the metal door of the main building of the hospital slid open from both sides and slid into the gap in the wall.

A guard sits behind the counter.

In front of him and on the wall next to him, there were information screens displaying various data.

But he didn't even look at it, he just lowered his head and played with his mobile phone.

Hearing the metal door open, he looked up at Lidya Su and Lucy.

He lowered his head again and continued to be addicted to his mobile phone.

Su Xiao and Lucy walked past the express boxes stacked in the corner.

Pass through the security room and behind is the waiting hall.

The dim fluorescent lights from the ceiling add a bit of a permeable atmosphere.

Since visitors were not allowed in the Sequoia Mental Hospital, there were not many people in the waiting hall.

Only two company dogs, who might have just brought a patient over, were sitting on a bench chatting.

On the bench on the other side, there were several guards sitting.

Moreover, there was a guard standing in front of the passage leading to the interior of the hospital.

"Hack all the monitors." Su Xiao said in the team voice channel.

Lucy nodded slightly without any trace.

She quietly fell one position behind Su Xiao.

Use Su Xiao's shoulders to block the light in his eyes when he hacked into the monitor.

When passing by where the two company dogs were sitting, Su Xiao clearly heard their lowered conversations.

"If you ask me, coming here is a waste of time and money. If anyone goes crazy, just shoot him out of his misery. What's the use of this kind of 'forced treatment'?"

"You don't understand. It's all about money."

"money?"

"The company has bought medical insurance for its employees. If it collapses, how can we defraud the insurance? The more people who are sent for treatment and the longer they stay, the more the company can do.

profit from it. "

"Fuck, that's enough."

"What else? You've been working in the company for so long, can you stop being so naive?"

Lucy's voice came over the team voice channel.

"It's all done."

"well done."

Su Xiao no longer paid attention to the two people talking on the bench, but walked towards the front desk.

In front of the front desk, there was a young man who was dressed very poorly and was consulting.

"Hello, I would like to see my father, Bob Gelbaum (patient number: NC/23322/C), who was transferred to you from the medical center. I would be grateful if you would allow visitation. Not enough."

The receptionist had a smile on his face, but there was no doubt in his tone.

"Unfortunately, we will not open visits in the short term. The doctor believes that the patient's isolation is very critical for treatment. Please do not come again. We will notify you when patient NC/23322/C can accept visits."

The front desk refused to accommodate me no matter what.

The young man had no choice but to leave sadly.

After he walked away, Su Xiao stepped forward.

The front desk immediately showed a professional smile.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"Can you make arrangements? I want to meet with a patient."

"Sorry, that won't work. Contact with the outside world would interfere with our highly specialized treatment."

"Okay, can you temporarily unblock his built-in communicator? I wanted to call him, but I found that he was blocked and couldn't call."

"Sorry, the attending doctor won't allow it."

The receptionist was smiling but firm.

No matter what, I just don't want to.

Su Xiao used the corner of her eye to look at the guard standing in front of the hospital's internal passage.

After weighing it in my mind, I gave up the plan of forcing my way in.

"That's it, okay then. In fact, I have another patient here and I want to hospitalize him. How should I fill out the procedures?"

After a few minutes.

Su Xiao held the tablet and sat on the bench with Lucy.

Pretending to be filling out hospitalization paperwork.

In fact, it turns on the scanning mode of the tactical eyepiece.

A circle of red light that no one else could see spread out around Su Xiao.

The staffing of the entire mental hospital was clearly visible in his field of vision.

After spending some time, I finally found the red silhouette of a human named Bryce Stone on the second floor.

This is the scanning mode. It is not a true perspective, but displays the human beings within the scanning range as red outlines.

At this moment, Jack's voice came from the voice channel.

"How's it going, Sue? Have you gone inside? Have you seen the target?"

"I found the target, but the front desk didn't let us in. Not only us, but also others who wanted to visit."

"Then what should we do? Let's just go in?"

"It's a good idea, as a backup plan, but I have another idea. V. Jack, you can climb to the roof from the scaffolding next to the main building, and you should be able to go directly to the ward where Bryce is. I will scan it right away. share our vision with you.”

Although it is not a see-through, you can see the staffing and movement of doctors, nurses, guards, and patients in the hospital.

V and Jack shared the scanned field of view with him, so they should be able to easily rescue Bryce without alerting anyone.

After that, Su Xiao and Lucy waited on the bench for several minutes.

Even the two company dogs who came earlier have left.

In the huge waiting hall, apart from them, there were only the staff of this hospital.

Particularly conspicuous.

Fortunately, V's voice sounded in time.

"It worked, we found Bryce."

"Okay, bring him out quickly, we'll retreat now."

There was silence on the team voice channel.

"What's the matter, is there a problem?"

"Sue, you'd better take a look at this."

V sent a picture.

Just like Su Xiao can share his vision with V.

V can also allow Su Xiao to synchronize her vision.

As a result, in Su Xiao's eyes, the world was divided into two.

The picture on the right is the world you see with your own eyes.

The picture on the left is the world seen through V's eyes.
