For example, when the United States was founded, slavery still existed, but slavery was clearly out of date at that time.
Therefore, decades later, the abolitionist movement emerged calling for the complete abolition of slavery.
The same goes for the River.
He is a police detective himself (although he was suspended for other reasons), his nephew has disappeared, and the department will not let him touch the case. Is he really going to go home and wait for the news?
This is obviously against human nature and against the spirit of freedom and democracy that the United States has always stood for.
What? You said that the United States has collapsed and disintegrated long ago, so why are you talking about American freedom and democracy?
Okay, that's okay.
Yavin's tone had a hint of pleading and pleading. "NCPD is investigating this case. If there is any result, I will notify you. So, River, leave quickly before anyone else comes, okay?"
But River didn't move. "It's not like you haven't dealt with the bureau before. Don't you count their virtues? You hand in the analysis report and you don't even hear a sound."
Yavin is a little angry.
Although this laboratory does not have surveillance cameras installed due to cost reasons.
But Yavin cannot guarantee whether others will come back at this time.
If he comes back and sees them together, there is no guarantee that Yavin himself will not be implicated.
Yavin said angrily when he thought of this.
"Then what do you want to do? Are you acting on impulse? It's because of your thoughts that Night City has become helpless."
River Cross your arms over your chest.
"You have no choice? Do you still remember your first exam in medical school? That was the one... you passed the exam quickly without any effort."
"You won't forget it, right? There was a fire in the women's restroom, and it took them two hours to evacuate everyone."
River There is something in this.
Not to mention Yavin, even Su Xiao, an uninformed person, heard it.
River helped Yavin before, but now he wants to use this to threaten Yavin into helping him.
Well, this can be regarded as a kind of favor, but Su Xiao tries not to use this method unless it is absolutely necessary.
Because it's too hurtful.
Sure enough...
"You actually have the nerve to mention this in front of me."
Yavin, who was pinched, was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He glared at the River fiercely. "Don't let me see you here again! Especially you!"
Yavin turned to Su Xiao, who appeared here together with the River, and said as if complaining, "You don't know him yet, do you? This man is a big bastard!"
"Although I can understand your anger, you should also understand him. His relatives were kidnapped by that inhumane guy Harris."
Su Xiao paused for a moment and continued, "And I was suspended from my job, and I was not allowed to have any influence on it. The case was also handed over to a maggot who didn't do anything. If it were you, what would you do?"
Yavin took a deep breath, as if he was convinced by Su Xiao.
"What are you looking for? Let me tell you in advance, if I can't help you, then there's nothing I can do."
Seeing that Yavin's attitude softened, River said a little more kindly, "I just want the dreams that Harris has had. As long as we get this, we will leave immediately."
Yavin sighed, "He didn't dream."
River was stunned. "What? What's going on?"
"You two, come here with me."
Yavin was the first to leave the Chaomeng editing room.
Su Xiao and River looked at each other, and River said, "I believe Yavin will not lie to me. Let's follow her first and listen to what she has to say."
So they followed Yavin to a room next door.
"The bullet damaged his cerebral cortex, we just
Chaotic emotions and fragments of consciousness were extracted."
River frowned and said, "Visual and auditory interactive simulation, haven't you tried this method?"
Yavin retorted, "But he is not within the spectrum."
"But using a song or a movie can make children react. This method is worth trying."
The method River mentioned is used to treat autism.
No matter how autistic a child is, they will eventually have something that interests them.
It might be a certain song, or a movie or something.
If you start with what they are interested in and make them feel that the therapist is the same type of person as them, it will shorten the distance between the therapist and them.
This is done to make these autistic children feel that the therapist is different from the adults outside and is their friend.
In this way, they will be less resistant to therapists and treatment plans, thereby greatly improving the success rate of treating autism.
So what River is thinking is, since this method can be used on autistic children, can it also be used on Harris who is in a coma?
At the very least, it would be good to induce him to dream.
"Of course I know this method has a certain success rate, but Harris is not a child. I have never done similar experiments on adults."
Su Xiao asked, "If this method is possible to succeed? Why didn't you use this method before?"
If you just let the unconscious prisoner listen to a song or a movie, there will be no sequelae.
Su Xiao is very strange. Since Yavin knows this method, why not give it a try? It doesn't cost money anyway, right?
Yavin glared at Su Xiao angrily. "River and I are different. I went to medical school and studied neuroscience, but the theories he talks about are all hearsay."
"Also, we don't know what Harris likes."
Chapter 277 The Promised Neverland (3K)
Well, it seems that Yavin is not unwilling, but unable to start.
River could hear the looseness in Yavin's tone. "I'll find a way. So, do you agree?"
Yavin snorted.
"Do you think I have any choice? Let's go, I'll open the door for you, and don't come back again."
After that, Yavin stopped caring about the two of them and walked out first.
When Yavin went out, River couldn't hide his joy.
As long as Yavin agrees to help him, then he only needs to find a way to get something Harris likes, and then pass it on to Yavin, and ask Yavin to play it for Harris to listen to, and he can induce Harris to dream.
Although Harris's dream may not necessarily contain clues to help River find his nephew.
But at least this gave River a glimmer of hope.
It's better than doing nothing.
"Come on, Sue, I've got a detailed plan."
Leaving the NCPD laboratory through the main entrance, Su Xiao and River returned to the car.
River started the car and drove in the direction of Santo Domingo.
"I know what you want to say, just ask if you want."
"That old acquaintance of yours said that you were fired from the police force. What on earth is going on?"
River smiled pretending to be relaxed.
"Didn't you hear what Yavin said? I went to see Jerry Director Furt to eliminate the unhealthy tendencies in the office, but I didn't expect that Director Furt started this unhealthy trend on his own initiative."
"They confiscated my police badge and the "Lexington" issued to me by the bureau, and told me not to go to work again, and they stopped paying me a salary."
He paused and said hesitantly.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, nor did I think you were untrustworthy. I just... find it hard to talk to others, especially about bad things."
"I can understand, and sometimes, bringing up bad things to the wrong people can lead to worse results." Su Xiao saw that River's driving didn't look like he was wandering aimlessly, so he asked, "But where are we going?"
"Jos's family is the mother of my nephew Randy. She thought Randy just ran away from home, so please don't mention the kidnapping."
"Shouldn't we go look for Harris's house?"
"I have already visited Harris's home and found no clues about the missing child."
Su Xiao instantly understood the reason why River wanted to go to Randy's home.
"Your nephew was kidnapped by Harris. They must have contacted him before. Do you want to find clues from their chat records?"
"Yes, that's right."
"If there are no clues about Harris's family, River... don't you think their chat records may not have what you want?"
River was silent for a while and then said, "But there is no other way now, is there?"
The two of them did not speak for a while, and the atmosphere in the car was silent for a while. River took the initiative to break the silence.
"By the way, I want to hear your analysis. Anthony Harris gave himself the nickname "Peter Pan". Do you think it was chosen randomly, or does it have any meaning?"
Su Xiao thought for a while and said.
"In the story of the novel, there is a family named Mr. Darling, who has three children. One night, Peter Pan flew to their window and said that he would teach them to fly and take them to a place full of children.
A place for adventure."
"The three children were so happy that they soon learned to fly from Peter Pan."
River couldn't help but ask.
"Wait a minute, how can a kid fly?"
Su Xiao was a little speechless by the River's seriousness. "Do you have to take the fairy tales that children read seriously?"
River realized his mistake and immediately raised his hands.
"Sorry, my bad, you continue."
Su Xiao continued.
"These three children followed Peter Pan and flew to a beautiful island - Neverland."
"There are ferocious beasts on the island, as well as "red men" from primitive tribes, terrifying pirates, and of course little fairies and mermaids."
"In short, everything that often appears in children's dreams and fantasies is here."
"So there were hunts with wild beasts, real wars between red men and pirates or between children and pirates."
"The children are separated from adults, unfettered and free. Under the leadership of Peter Pan, they can play to their heart's content and experience various dangers."
"But later, these children who had run away from home began to miss their mother. Under the mobilization of one of the children, they bid farewell to the "Neverland" that had brought them infinite joy and flew back home."
"Later, they all grew up, but only Peter Pan never grew up and never went home."
"He is always flying around outside, taking children from generation to generation away from their families, allowing them to go to "Neverland" to enjoy the freedom and joy of childhood."
River pondered, "This sounds like a very common fairy tale, but why would a pervert like Anthony Harris name himself Peter Pan?"
Su Xiao said.
"In the novel, Peter Pan is a boy who never grows up. There is no such person in reality, but it does not prevent that in Harris's heart, there lives a child who never grows up."
"Moreover, maybe he kidnapped the missing children, and I thought he took them to the "Neverland" in the novel."
River's eyes widened. "Is his brain broken? How is kidnapping possible? Will it be the same as Peter Pan taking the children to Neverland in the novel?"
Su Xiao shook his head.
"People think differently. If everyone had the same three views, there wouldn't be so many criminals in the world."
"Actually, if it's just like this, it's not the worst situation. I'm afraid Harris which version of Peter Pan he thinks he is."
River was startled and said, "Su, what do you mean by this?"
Su Xiao Put out two fingers.
"There are two settings for Peter Pan. One is what I just told you, the one we know best now, and the other is an early version."
"The most obvious difference in that version is that Peter Pan will not let the children who want to go home go home. He will hurt those who love him and kill the children who have grown up - because this is against the rules of Neverland."
