Hospital No. 444.

Chapter 177 Believe and Exist

Fang Zhou clutched his forehead tightly.

Dai Lin seemed to have heard something, looked back, then turned to Fang Zhou and said, "Doctor Fang, my brother seems to be awake, so I'll hang up first, and I'll contact you later."

After Dai Lin hung up the video call, Fang Zhou immediately noticed that the strange feeling on his forehead had eased a lot.

Sure enough... There is a connection between the two!

Fang Zhou walked to the hotel window, covered his forehead, and began to think about a series of questions.

He has already discovered one thing, when he starts to think deeply about the question "whether Hospital No. 666 really exists", the pain on his forehead will become much more obvious.

This is not a psychological effect, nor is it a coincidence.

"What exactly is going on?"

Fang Zhou likes watching American dramas very much.

Every year there are a large number of new American dramas, and he will choose the ones with higher ratings to watch.

He recalled an American drama called "Western World". This American drama was hailed as a masterpiece on the Internet. It has been out for three seasons so far, and the fourth season should be released next year.

In this American drama, humans in the future have created a mechanical and bionic theme park.Bionics have a high degree of AI intelligence. They are programmed with various programs to play the role of NPCs in theme parks. They can be killed by tourists who come to the park countless times, and then revived through maintenance again and again.

For these bionics, in their daily life, they will be repeatedly asked a question by the park's maintainers.

"Do you have any doubts about the world you live in?"

Androids don't lie to them.For the people in the park, they want to ensure that the androids will not become self-aware, but will always think that they are real human beings, and will not find themselves as consumables living in a false theme park.

Ark loves this American drama very much. There are many sci-fi themes of AI rebellion, and this American drama focusing on self-cognition has sufficient philosophical meaning.

Every android, when they are asked "Do you have doubts about the world you live in", will not find it strange that someone asks this question.They are programmed, but within the allowed range, they have almost the same self-cognition as human beings.In the end, Fang Zhou was even surprised to find that some of the staff in the park were also bionics, but the staff did not realize this at all, and really thought they were human beings, and even faced the bionics of the same kind as them with the attitude of a creator. people.

All cognitions of bionic people on things can be changed at will under the modification of the program.For example, the heroine is a bionic person who gradually awakens herself, and after another bionic person who played the role of her "father" was scrapped due to a malfunction, Paradise replaced her with a new bionic person to play the role of "father", and the heroine every time When she wakes up in the morning, the reset program will modify her cognition, allowing her to address the bionic person she met as father for the first time.

and many more……

Why do you think of it this way, it is almost exactly the same problem that Luo Ren is facing? ?

Thinking about it now, Fang Zhou couldn't help but start to think about a... an extremely frightening question.

Why did I never find something wrong when I saw this strange rule from a linguistic point of view, "You have to believe that this hospital is called Hospital No. 444, not Hospital No. 666, and there is no department with an English name"?
Why "to believe"?Instead of directly using affirmative sentences to describe this conclusion?
And when the forehead felt pain, Fang Zhou really realized how strange this sentence is under the Chinese grammar.And the more he doubts about this, the more obvious the pain will be.

And... that thing he saw just now...

There is a characteristic of the Ark's cursed object, which can have a very precise perception of danger.This precise perception has saved his life many times.And the dangerous perception just now was the first time since Fang Zhou practiced medicine.Even if he encountered the most terrifying ominous spirit in the past, he had never felt such a strong fear!
Compared with the black outline object, the fierce spirit is not worth mentioning at all!Could it be that this is the legend...

Curse spirit? ? ?

Fang Zhou had heard about Dai Lin's younger brother. After all, this matter was promoted by Vice President Han, the director of the Department of Evil Soul Surgery.His younger brother was discharged from the hospital after being treated in the demon department.

Dai Lin regards the black human-shaped object just now as his younger brother? ? ?
It's the same as a bionic person whose self-cognition has been modified.

According to the rules, if the existence of No. 444 hospital continues to be questioned, and the pain lasts for more than an hour, then the problem for Zhou is that he has to go to the demon department for treatment according to the rules.

Seeing that black outline object, does Fang Zhou still dare to go to the demon department to register for treatment?

However, what would happen to him if he didn't follow the rules set by the dean and went to the demon department for treatment?
Beads of sweat began to drip from Fang Zhou's forehead and cheeks.

Don't look at him as a chief physician, but in front of the dean, he is nothing at all.

Fang Zhou has already realized some cruel reality, but he does not have the courage to explore the truth behind it.

"I believe that the hospital I work in is called Hospital 444..." He gritted his teeth and said, "There is no such thing as Hospital 666, it doesn't exist... I believe, I believe that this hospital does not have any English name department!"

He kept repeating this sentence, and when he repeated it about No.20 times, he finally felt that the pain on his forehead began to weaken a little bit.

Yes, there is no such thing as Hospital 666...

Absolutely nonexistent...

does not exist……

……

Fang Zhou was tired at the end, and he fell asleep on the sofa directly.

After sleeping for a long time, he was awakened by the phone ringing.

"Doctor Fang," said Lu Yuqing, "it's like this. Today we will take you to see Luo Ren's mother."

Fang Zhou suddenly found that the pain on his forehead had completely disappeared!

Gone!

He immediately rejoiced.

Great……

He immediately said to the other end of the phone: "Okay, I, I see."

After Fang Zhou and Lu Yuqing made an appointment, they hung up the phone, walked into the bathroom, and took a shower.

Ever since he woke up in the morning and found that his forehead was painful, the sweat on his body hadn't stopped.

He can be sure that the root cause of the pain in his forehead is because of the woman who is suspected to be related to the Harland family!

He didn't want to know what was hidden behind it, and he didn't want to know what was the secret behind the red masked nurse.

He just wants to live well.

Being alive is more important than anything else.

His parents are old, and the child has just entered kindergarten. He just remarried a year ago, and his wife has been working as a housewife at home to take care of the children.Fang Zhou can be said to be the pillar of the family. He cannot have accidents or die.And he kept telling his wife that he was a surgeon at a large private hospital, which is not strictly speaking a lie.

This case...he doesn't want to get involved too deeply!
