Chapter 798: Chapter 796: Brain Erosion (12)_1 Chapter 798: Chapter 796: Brain Erosion (12)_1 “Goodbye, take care as well.”
Rosetta lifted the cup and took a delicate sniff, as if to truly ascertain what smell the tranquilizer mixed in the coffee would emit. The next moment, she raised her cup to Fu Qian in a gesture.
“Goodbye, if you see Bernard, say hello to him for me.”
“…Thank you for your blessings.”
With a slight smile, Rosetta drained her cup in one gulp.
And almost instantaneously, she lost consciousness and slumped onto the table, reacting just like Nancy had.
At least for this moment, she was truly sleeping here.
Next time, he could tell her the good news.
Fu Qian also took a sip of his coffee, reflecting on the situation.
Moreover, the mission hadn’t really failed!
“Got another one.”
The next moment, he looked towards Kelly.
Things were changing too fast. Kelly, who had been somewhat irate, suddenly lost her momentum, her face filled with disbelief.
“You know Rosetta?”
“I do.”
Fu Qian offered no further explanation.
The last time he visited Bee Monkey City, he had noticed something–Kelly probably didn’t recognize him.
In fact, aside from Rosetta and Bernard, no one in Bee Monkey City recognized him.
He understood this as a result of his actions in destroying the Golden Needle, which caused the chaotic existence of Bee Monkey City to “collapse”, eventually preserving only the reality where no accident had ever occurred.
As an element of the chaos, he wasn’t truly present in the collective consciousness of the people.
Currently, Rosetta and Bernard were special exceptions, their very nature being chaotic; Rosetta was even the source of chaos in Bee Monkey City.
“So, are we heading to Hushima Zhigui now?”
Having completed his task so brilliantly, Fu Qian was in a superior position, and Kelly finally suppressed her objection, softly seeking his opinion.
Theoretically, this idea made sense.
After all, “a little while” had passed, and Hushima Zhigui should have finished his business.
“No.”
However, Fu Qian shook his head.
“We’re going back to Sam’s place.”
Going back to Sam’s again?
Kelly clearly didn’t understand, but it was obvious that she was no longer in a position to dictate the situation.
The assistant physician, having spoken, did not bother with her opinion and was already heading out.
And given that Fu Qian was carrying all the tranquilizers, Kelly, despite her anger, ultimately had no choice but to follow in frustration.
…
“Hello, Sam, good to see you.”
Before long, Fu Qian, with his third visit, once again managed to knock on the door successfully.
And almost as soon as Sam showed his face, Fu Qian handed over a paper bag.
“Sorry, I went back and checked. Indeed, there was a mistake before. Now, this is the medicine signed off by the doctor. Does it look correct?”
Um?
Kelly’s eyes bulged in astonishment.
She had a clear view, and what Fu Qian handed over was exactly the paper bag she had signed in Nancy’s name, the one that had already been rejected once.
What was the point of this?
“Sorry, I can’t take medicine without a doctor’s signature.”
Sure enough, Sam rejected it again.
“My apologies, I took the wrong one.”
Without any visible change in expression, Fu Qian switched to another paper bag.
This time it was the one Kelly had signed her own name on.
…
“That’s the one.”
Sam stared at the new paper bag for a long time, and, in the end, actually nodded and reached out to take it.
“Thank you for bringing it over.”
This…
“No need to thank me.”
As Kelly watched with a life-questioning gaze, Fu Qian actually withdrew his hand again.
“I’m sorry, I’ve made a mistake again, this one isn’t yours, please wait patiently.”
…
Sam looked like he was about to crash, and eventually his hand, suspended in mid-air, silently lowered before he closed the door.
“What on earth are you trying to do?”
He wasn’t the only one confused; Kelly was really freaking out now.
“He was clearly about to accept it, why won’t you give it to him! What’s the reason this time?”
“Calm down.”
Facing the interrogation, Fu Qian glanced at her, his smile sinister.
“You seem a bit agitated.”
As he spoke, he opened the tranquilizer labeled with Nancy’s name.
“What are you doing?”
At that moment, Kelly was like someone electrocuted, her scream was identical to Nancy’s, truly a testament to their shared tutelage.
And her fate was the same.
The next moment, Fu Qian broke through Kelly’s evasive move and grabbed her throat.
…
Thanks to Kelly’s driving skills, it had been only about fifteen minutes since they left.
Yet, the very determined Sam had now undergone a 180-degree change in attitude, starting to acknowledge Kelly’s signature, basically treating her as the doctor.
What was the reason?
Starting from Sam’s rejection of both signatures, Fu Qian had been pondering the meaning behind this reaction.
On one hand, you could assume that he had gone mad enough to forget who his doctor was, and could only be force-fed the medication.
But the feeling of being tasked he got during his first encounter with him was unmistakably correct.
Referring to Hushima Zhigui’s reaction when he saw the candle earlier, Fu Qian believed there had to be one signature that this man would accept.
As opposed to the development that he himself was the real doctor, Fu Qian was more inclined towards picking one out of the two Kellys.
Then why were both of their signatures rejected?
After lengthy contemplation, Fu Qian came up with an interesting explanation–the so-called wheels of history had not turned.
There’s a saying, when in doubt, quantum mechanics.
Nancy and Kelly were undeniably special in this mission.
They knew everyone, yet understood everyone’s actions through entirely different trains of thought.
If defined as observers, the two women’s cognitions could be said to completely contradict each other, yet both could not be disproven.
Nancy believed she was the doctor among the five, and the only patient in need of treatment was Kelly, hence Rosetta and the others didn’t need tranquilizers.
For Kelly, she was the real doctor, Rosetta and the others were seriously ill and all needed tranquilizers.
If this was seen as an overlap of two possibilities, in a situation where someone from the Rosetta trio had ingested the tranquilizer, wouldn’t this world have taken a step closer to the world as Kelly observed it?
It was similar to the ultimate “collapse” of Bee Monkey City.
…
Drinking the tranquilizer, letting the world collapse, that was what Fu Qian wanted Rosetta’s help with.
As it turned out, Sam indeed recognized Kelly’s signature, and she truly became a doctor in his mind.
This also meant that in this mission, all the involved personnel fell outside the category of normal people.
Apart from the two “observers” Kelly and Nancy, he himself was a mission operative inserted by the warehouse, Rosetta was a lost soul drifting around, and Hushima Zhigui showed signs of being tainted by an evil will.
Among them, Nancy, Kelly, and Hushima Zhigui also had an unusual global cognition.
The two doctors had a clear grasp of information on everyone, including Rosetta, with Hushima Zhigui going even further; he even knew how many candles were in an apartment eight hundred meters away.
And Sam, who seemed the most normal and knew nothing, was able to react to the world’s “collapse” without stepping outside his door.
Just like a “radar” unable to interpret data but capable of receiving messages.
