In the dark night, the neon sign of "Adam Mental Health Clinic" shines with rose-red light.
This is not a big clinic, nor is it in an underground market. It is just a small street shop on Relief Street in Sanjiao District, between low and old shops. The outer wall is covered with some small advertising paper.
Right next to the "No Smoking at All Seats" sign, a few passers-by in bright clothes were leaning against the wall, smoking and chatting.
There are bad roads all around, with potholes and large pools of smelly sewage. Beer cans and food packaging bags are scattered everywhere. Apparently no one has cleaned them up for a long time.
Lorna's SUV was parked on the road over there, and at this time, she and Pan were walking towards Adam Clinic.
"This kind of place, at first glance, looks like a shabby place for illegal activities, and it is surrounded by gangs."
Lorna was a little wary. When she got out of the car, her right hand had been equipped with an exoskeleton prosthetic, ready to fight at any time.
At this time, not to mention that Sakai Kao was nervous, Gu He was also slightly nervous. He remembered that Lao Cai had said that you should not wander around in the Sanjiao area, otherwise you would become a commodity if you wander around.
They did not wander around or strike up conversations with passers-by, but walked straight in through the clinic door with its blue light shining on the door frame.
The clinic is quite crowded, with some medical chairs everywhere. The chairs are connected to many electrical wires and blood threads. Those blood threads are connected to large pieces of flesh and blood placed in glass jars, and some have electrodes attached to their skin.
On several chairs, guests were lying with their heads connected to various lines, all of them seemed to be sleeping.
Several employees in white coat uniforms, accessorized with wires and sequins, were operating the machines.
Not to mention, the scene in front of him reminded Gu He of a dentist's office, with so many equipment and chairs.
But this is obviously not a place for tooth extraction. Some noisy funk songs are playing in the store, the lights everywhere are flashing with colorful lights, and some advertisements for our store are posted on the walls:
"Mental health, your doctor Adam" "No one understands you better than Adam" "The ultimate Mewtwo, experience the future"
"The latest virtual memory, complete your space dream, you are an agent who came back from outer space"
Before Gu He came here, he thought that the real business here would be somewhat hidden from others, but it turned out not to be the case at all.
The man over there must be Adam. He is also wearing a white coat. He is not tall, has a chubby face, a big brown beard, and not very friendly eyes.
Just as several young girls and a man were talking around him, Adam said disgustedly:
"Your souls are worthless. Is there anything interesting in them? Except for the knowledge that everyone says, superficial emotions, instilled commercial desires, and non-stop hard work, there is nothing. The difference in your souls is greater than yours."
His appearance is much smaller. If you really want to make money, just sell your organs, there is no use staying here."
"Mr. Adam, please." The man was still begging. The muscles on his face were so thin and sunken, his eyes were bloodshot, and his pale lips were trembling: "Without medicine, I will die. I can sell anything.
Give me money..."
Lorna knew at a glance that it was a drug addict. His internal organs and nerves had probably been damaged by the drugs, and no one wanted to sell him.
In the Sanjiao District, there are some unscrupulous alchemists and doctors who dare to put anything into human experiments for the sake of research.
Some people become drug addicts just like that; others just love it and are done with it.
"You can sell whatever you want, but I won't buy it here."
Adam was expelling, and when he saw another guest coming in, and the face of an old friend, he stopped talking to these guys who wanted to sell their souls in exchange for brand-name bags and drugs, and called two of his men to drive them away.
go out.
At the same time, Sakai Kao whispered to Gu He in his mind: "This place is much worse than the plastic surgery clinic..."
"Dora, who is this?" Adam walked over and had never seen the woman in black leather clothes next to Pandora before.
"I am her friend." Lorna said, "She has lost some memories and suspects that she was sold to you."
On the way here, they decided on a cliche strategy and continued to say that Pandora had sold her personality materials somewhere and had forgotten some things, especially about Fulin.
Since the man from the Doomsday Tribe asked Pandora to come here, it means that he is involved, and maybe he can ask something.
At this time, Adam looked at Pandora with a look that seemed a little regretful.
A good actor's mask is difficult for others to tell whether it is genuine or fake.
Adam is an extraordinary doctor, but he is not a gifted counter-actor. Moreover, Pan was wearing all Pandora's things, and the gold coat he was wearing even showed a little of his collar on purpose.
Only Gu He himself knows that there is no connection between him and Jin Yi. This strange object is like the Wings of Qianye to Qianye and the sword to Elizabeth. It has been bound to Pandora in some way, and others cannot directly
use.
"It's not my place. I advised you not to sell personality materials. It's not worth it." Adam sighed.
It was a bit absurd for Gu He to hear such words from a person who specialized in opening a shop like this to buy and sell personality materials.
But that's the way the world is, sometimes business is business and friends are friends.
There are doctors like Lao Cai who steal business from their friends, and there are doctors like Adam.
But speaking of which, Lao Cai had previously advised Lorna not to sell personality materials.
"If you take out the raw material of a memory, it will disappear forever. Even if you know that memory again through other means and 'think about it', it will become different. It is no longer your personal experience, but just
It’s like hearing other people’s stories, like watching a movie.”
After hearing Adam's lamented words, Lorna became a little curious, "How do you retrieve memories?"
"Is this your first time in a place like this?" Adam asked, walking further into the clinic.
They followed them, and Gu He saw a large machine that looked like an MRI machine placed inside. It was not turned on at this time, and the light bulbs on the machine were not flashing. The messy wires were enough to numb the whole person's nerves.
Connect it.
"We mainly use this soul extraction machine here, and cooperate with my doctor's procedures." Adam introduced, "I am a psychiatrist, and the Q-level program 'Personality Exploration' can do this kind of work."
Personality exploration? Extracting other people’s personality raw materials?
Gu He once thought that he should be a doctor or a psychiatrist, but in this world, it didn't seem to be suitable.
Now that I'm working on it, dolls are more suitable, and of course food makers are still the most suitable.
"What do you mean, is there any other way?" Lorna asked, Gu He and Sakai Huaqing also wanted to know.
"Yes, in the field of personality, it is safest and most complete for a psychologist to extract the raw materials, but there are other ways."
Adam gave examples, "Like the cultivator's 'repair', the exorcist's 'disenchantment', the monk's 'purification', the operator, the doll... there are many programs. So it's hard for me to guess Dora."
Where did you sell the ingredients?"
"What did you forget?" Adam said and looked at Pandora.
"Fu Lin." Pan said flatly, "I only remember the name, but I don't know who she is."
"You sold your memory with Fulin, did you still do that..."
Adam seemed to really know something. He frowned and murmured, "You saved a dream of joy with me before, just to give it to you at this time. You will know it after you have seen it.
"But even then, it's no longer your memory, it's just someone else's dream."
"What is a dream of joy?" Lorna asked again. Can Phryne give people bliss?
Gu He knew, however, that a Q-level program for dolls was called Happy Dream.
Dolls create spiritual dreams that allow others to connect with each other. Different from the spiritual network, there is a closed dream world controlled by dolls, which can realize any imagination and get real experiences.
In fact, when he compiled and synthesized the Holy Grail program, he mixed in 16 kinds of doll Q-level programs, including this one.
"In this world, there are countless thoughts, experiences, imaginations and memories every day, but only a handful of them are really interesting. Most people's lives are too boring. Chaomeng was born for this, allowing you to experience unprecedented feelings.
, although it is someone else’s raw material, or simply a fictional thing.
"Flin's Q-level program is Happy Dream, which is a good program to participate in the creation of Super Dream. She used to work part-time here. But the dream you saved, you said it was not fiction, but a record, so
There have been multiple new additions.
"At the beginning, it was Fulin and you who made it together, but then Fulin was gone, so I don't know...
"As for the contents inside, I never knew. I have never opened it. It requires key data to open."
Adam entered a room through a small door next to the huge soul-removing machine. After a while, he came out with a small glass jar. Inside the jar was a palm-sized flesh and blood chip.
"I gave it back to you. I hope you didn't sell the key as well."
Adam handed the glass jar into Pan's hands.
Gu He knew how to use this thing. The brain-to-brain connection could process the information in the chip, but the key?
"He Sang, this is too bad, we don't have the key..." Sakai Huaqing was a little anxious.
After a lot of nervous work, I finally got the result, but it didn't work without the key.
"That's not necessarily the case." Gu He responded. Could it be the key program segment numbered 8?
However, there may be some virus stuff inside the chip, so it must be handled with caution.
"Let's go," Lorna said to Pan, "let's change places."
As Adam watched them off, they left this unhealthy mental health clinic.
Lorna said that she would first go to the "Science Field" to find the alchemist Wilbur, who was the one who created Qianye Wings for Qianye, and see if she could go to the underground market to find him through teleportation. It doesn't matter if it costs money, please.
He tested whether the chip was poisonous.
There are also keys and stuff, so go over there and get them.
Soon, they got back on the off-road vehicle and headed to the abandoned construction site on the river bank under the cover of night.
