Who would like a head that is separated from the body, no matter how cute it looks.
He put the transparent cover into the cabinet.
In the evening, Shiraishi went downstairs to eat later than usual. After eating, he returned to the study and his head returned to the desk.
"..." Bai Shi looked to his side quietly.
The butler who appeared out of nowhere stood beside him, apologetically but not refusing to say: "The master said that this should always be on display. This is an encouragement and spur to you."
"..."
This damn thing can only whip up a pervert.
Shiraishi nodded and stopped trying to take off the ornament.
After thinking about it, he felt that he really needed a little encouragement.
It's just that the direction is probably a little different from what grandpa expected.
…
The next day, Shiraishi went home from the "company" and sat at his desk to read the information for a while.
Occasionally his eyes would glance at the blood and stubble under a person's head and neck, and Shiraishi would wander unconsciously.
After discovering this problem, Shiraishi simply pushed everything away, crossed his arms and stared at the head intently.
After looking at it for a while, Youyou praised: "It's so cute."
[!] The Q-version assistant who was playing with the pen cap next to him was startled. He tripped over the pen cap and lay on the ground looking at him in shock.
After a moment of pause, she hesitantly rubbed some bubbles and suggested that Shiraishi find a serious psychological counselor.
"No, I'm healthy." Shiraishi picked up a pen and turned it around twice, his eyes still fixed on the person's head, "But sooner or later, people have to learn to adapt to the environment... Have you heard of the Stockholm effect?"
The Q version assistant nodded pretending to know and secretly clicked on the search button.
"Some people call it a 'hostage complex'. A common example is that the hostage falls in love with the kidnapper... This is not a very positive word. People with this symptom are very pitiful. They usually do things that are sold by others.
It also helps with counting money. But it at least shows that feelings can be tamed and changed artificially.
"If you want to live a better life, you need to be healthy physically and mentally. Hostages cannot control material conditions, so they can only regulate themselves mentally. To maintain a healthy mentality, you need to be exposed to more things that make you happy. If not,
Then create it yourself. When you are in a situation where it is inconvenient to escape, instead of being frightened every day, it is better to create an environment that makes you happy, such as changing the people or things that trigger panic into something you like. This mentality
It will be much easier.
"In addition, feelings are mutual. Few people will dislike someone who truly likes them. The hostages are "liked" by others, and occasionally the kidnapper's attitude will be changed to provide a better living environment for the hostages.
"That is to say, in a sense, emotional distortion within a specific period of time is a successful form of self-protection.
"It's just that after leaving that environment, many people are unable to correct the distorted emotions at that time, so there is a behavior of 'when the police arrest the robbers, the hostages help the robbers against the police'."
[…] Q version assistant feels like she understands, but according to the current situation, she doesn’t quite understand what Shiraishi wants to do…
"For example, this head..." Shiraishi tapped his finger on the transparent cover.
During this process, he found that he didn't really want to touch it, and the knock he gave was very light. So Shiraishi simply stretched out his hand and held his head affectionately.
He continued what he just said: "In a short period of time? It will definitely not disappear from my eyes, and I may see other strangers in the future. Rather than being distracted by this kind of thing, it is better to learn it early."
Live in peace with them."
"And..." Bai Shi mentally listed one, two, three, four, five, six reasons why his head is better than a living person, and let himself admire it sincerely. "Look carefully, it's actually very eye-catching."
…
Shiraishi thought that after joining a so-called company, his life would become calmer.
Unexpectedly, just a week later, the old man came to see him again.
It seems that since he was sure that Shiraishi would not resurrect him even if he achieved results, grandpa started to let himself go a little bit? His attitude towards Shiraishi was no different from that of his subordinates.
He sat behind his desk: "The first phase of the DLF2533 experiment has been delayed by two days compared to the original plan. Why not rush it?"
"..." As a senior person who is mainly responsible for giving money and providing experimental equipment? Do you have too much to worry about?
Shiraishi said: "Animal experiments have not yet..."
Grandpa interrupted him: "There are many differences between humans and animals. The new drugs we are currently developing are all based on the original results. There have been examples in the past where the effect on animals was not obvious, but when used on humans, the effect was remarkable."
"..." Shiraishi thought of the people imprisoned on the negative 3 floor and decided to give them something good to eat today.
The old man’s meaning is already obvious. Skip animal experiments and go directly to living people. And DLF2533 is not a life-saving drug. It seems to help decompose the brain...
As he said that, Grandpa lowered his head and fiddled with his cell phone a few times - this thing didn't exist a while ago, but it suddenly appeared recently, and it is still a semi-touch screen. Of course, after a while, it may degenerate into a big brother again.
Shiraishi sometimes feels that this leaping technology may be one of the reasons why the organization's research has not been able to make progress...
After pressing the button, grandpa put down the phone again: "I told you a long time ago that success requires paying a corresponding price, and I also showed you the history. It's a pity that you don't seem to understand what I mean."
He raised his head and looked directly at Shiraishi: "In this case, I don't force you to understand, but you must adapt. Avoiding can't solve any problems."
Grandpa did not forget the timing of Shiraishi's change of attitude - at first, although the grandson was not interested in immortality, Shiraishi did not show any objection or resistance when he raised the topic of "taking over the business".
However, after Shiraishi visited the company once and walked around the laboratory twice, his attitude changed.
What else could be the reason for this?
It is definitely not acceptable for human experimentation.
Oh, the kindness of women.
To deal with this problem, grandpa has his own solution.
Fear comes from the unknown. People are very adaptable. The more they understand and adapt, the more those fears will no longer be a problem.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Shiraishi turned his head and saw a familiar-looking silver man pushing open the door and walking in.
Yin Chang glanced at him from under the brim of his hat, then looked at his grandfather.
Grandpa looked at this subordinate who was borrowed from an old friend, and was very satisfied with his cold aura of disowning his relatives.
He pointed at Bai Shi and said, "Take him to visit."
In the past few days, Grandpa actually sent some people from his own group to keep an eye on Shiraishi, but judging from the slowdown in the progress of the experiment after Baishi's arrival, the people in the family couldn't keep an eye on him at all.
Everyone has their own ideas, and members of the organization will inevitably get into the habit of flattering others. They don't want the future heir of the Shiraishi family to be offended to death, and Shiraishi has never violated any obvious rules.
