"Can you make arrangements? I want to meet a patient."
"Sorry, that's not possible. Contact with the outside world would interfere with our highly professional 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 make calls."
"Sorry, the attending doctor will not allow it."
The front desk clerk was smiling, but his attitude was firm.
No matter what, I just don't want to.
Su Xiao used the corner of his 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?"
A few minutes later.
Su Xiao is holding a tablet computer and sitting on the bench with Lucy.
Pretending to be filling out hospitalization procedures.
In fact, it turns on the scanning mode of Tactical Goggles.
A circle of red light that cannot be seen by others is centered on Su Xiao and spreads around.
The staffing of the entire mental hospital was clearly visible to him.
After spending some time, I finally found the red humanoid silhouette 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, the voice of Jack 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, if you climb to the roof from the scaffolding next to the main building, you should be able to go directly to the ward where Bryce is. I will share the scanned field of view 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 share the scanned field of view with themselves, and 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 Corp Dog 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.
"Success, we found Bryce."
"Okay, bring him out quickly, we will withdraw now."
There was silence on the team voice channel.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"Su, 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 its own field of view.
So, in the eyes of Su Xiao, 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.
From the picture synchronized by V, it can be seen that the second floor where she and Jack are at this moment is an area to accommodate patients.
It is different from the brightly lit hospital scene that the general public has in mind...
There are only dim lights here.
The ceiling, walls, and floors were all covered with dirty stains.
Chapter 58: Stop pretending, let's show off
In such a filthy environment, it's hard to imagine how someone could have the honor to call themselves a "Healthy Medical Center."
Such terrible sanitary conditions would never be tolerated in any hospital - unless it was an underground clinic.
Every other section of wall is a room.
But the room is not big, just like a
Little old Rat's Nest.
It can only accommodate a bed and a toilet.
Even just looking at the picture, it seems that I can smell the stench spreading from the toilet.
The patients in the room had different reactions to the arrival of V and Jack:
Some held their heads in their hands, squatting on the ground and shivering;
Some turned a blind eye, as if the two of them did not exist, they were just air;
Someone else seemed to be hallucinating and had been selling a house to the two of them.
But the most unbearable and infuriating thing is the email record that V and Jack found from the office terminal of a doctor who was preparing to inject unknown medicine into pregnant women--
"Sender: Biotechnology"
"Attn: Dr. Jacob Shipman"
"Dear Mr. Shipman, we are contacting you to invite you to participate in the window trial of our new drug "Psilocybin"."
"We are very interested in evaluating the effects of Psilocybin on pregnant women. Perhaps you can provide eligible patients?"
"We want to know about the frequency of miscarriages, the effects on fetal development, etc."
"Of course we would like this to all happen privately, so please get in touch with us at the earliest opportunity."
"Sender: Dr. Jacob Shipman"
"Recipient: Biotechnology"
"I currently have one pregnant patient here, but there will be three in the near future."
"Needless to say, there will be no paper trail left from the trial and I await my reward."
There is more than just this message in the terminal.
And this doctor named Shipman said in his reply to Biotechnology that he would not leave any written records.
But in fact, he left detailed records of various experiments in his terminal.
This includes using experimental drugs on people of different ages, genders, and health levels to test the general applicability of the drug.
And from the terminal, we can learn that it's not just Dr. Shipman.
But the entire Redwood Psychiatric Hospital is actually a testing ground.
They use the patients sent here as guinea pigs to test new drugs.
Visiting is not allowed, and the patient's built-in communicator is blocked, naturally to prevent the patient from revealing the true situation here.
There was anger and trembling in V's tone. "If we just leave like this, this hospital will not only kill everyone here, but also more people, and the outside world will know nothing about it."
They can just leave.
But like V said.
If you just leave like this.
No one will ever know the crimes of this mental hospital.
Cruel and inhumane human experiments will continue.
"You hide first and let me think about it."
The first person Su Xiao thought of was Max Jones, whom he had worked with before.
He is an upright journalist who is conscientious and willing to contribute.
But his abilities are ultimately limited.
Let him report the truth here, Su Xiao believes he will do his duty.
But Su Xiao thinks further.
Because there are only some normal people in this mental hospital.
It is true that some people are abnormal people suffering from mental illness.
Max It is impossible to take care of those real patients.
But if we just release them back into society, it would be irresponsible not only to them, but also to society.
It is best to find someone who is both an idealist and capable of dealing with the aftermath.
But where can I find such a big wronged person... to bring in good people?
Just when Su Xiao was thinking hard, a name suddenly flashed through his mind like lightning.
Jefferson·Perez!
Yes, why did you forget about him?
Su Xiao had seen Jofferson's information before... of course it was the kind that his public relations team took the initiative to put online.
He has a grassroots background and is compassionate. He himself completed his studies with the help of others.
He often appears on TV programs, and sometimes travels through the streets and alleys, entering into the lives of ordinary people, greeting them and asking them about their situation.
Although every time he goes out, he brings a group of company security guards with him.
Although he is not ruled out as a showman and a conceited persona, he himself is still a lot higher than the current mayor Lucius Ryan and Vice Mayor Wilton Holt who covets the mayor's position.
At least for now.
Su Xiao I can't think of a more suitable candidate than Jofferson.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in front of him.
"Has the form been filled out?"
Su Xiao raised his head.
But he saw the receptionist who was too lazy to maintain a professional smile and had a frosty face standing in front of him.
Behind her were several guards armed with weapons.
"Can you wait a little longer?"
"I don't think so, sir. I'm afraid I have to ask you two to move into Redwood Psychiatric Hospital now." The front desk showed a charming smile, "Please believe that we have a professional team that guarantees to provide you with the best treatment services."
This is a lie!
The truth is, if you live in it, you won't get out alive.
The front desk had already noticed something was wrong with Su Xiao and Lucy.
Therefore, the guards in the security room outside and the police in the waiting hall were secretly
Wei called over.
Even if the two of them disagree, it's useless.
The heavily armed guards behind the front desk were her greatest source of confidence.
Su Xiao said nothing, but turned to look at Lucy.
Lucy gave him a look like "all the monitors have been hacked".
