Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Where's Fry!"

A lift landed in the courtyard of Frye Mental Hospital. At this time, some directors of Section 4 had already begun to deal with the corpses on the ground. Their DNA needed to be checked. If there were family members, record them. If there were no family members, processed directly on site.

Next to a pulverizing machine, Marcus kept putting corpses one after another, and the incineration was quickly completed. Some black ashes were put directly into a bag. Alpha looked at everything in front of him quietly. More than 30 people came over, people from Section 5, Section 4, and Section 8, and Heathcote was also there.

Huashen quietly pointed to the dean's room above, where Frye was resting. Alpha exhaled a puff of smoke. Qin Xiaoxuan and some council officers were conducting the on-site survey. Everything here made everyone who came here... Everyone felt shocked.

The situation in the basement is even more tragic. Most of the unmanaged patients have done very cruel things driven by hunger. What makes people feel strange is that there have been problems here for at least a year, but nothing has happened. Hua Shen stood at the gate of the mental hospital, blaming himself. He had not been there for a long time, and originally he thought there would be no problem.

"If I had come here earlier, maybe it wouldn't have turned into this."

Huashen said, and Alpha walked towards the entrance of the hospital building, but at this time Huashen quickly chased after him and grabbed Alpha.

"It's better to wait until we finish cleaning this place!"

"No matter what happens, we have to face it. If he is still immersed in his dream, we have to wake him up."

Huashen let go of Alpha's hand, and Alpha walked in quickly. She had been here many times before, but after coming here this time, Alpha felt a little uncomfortable. This is a problem of urban marginalization. Many marginalized people The problem of culturalization is difficult to touch.

Alpha has also paid attention to these issues over the years, but it has only been concerned. It cannot be solved by one person. These marginalized problems must be solved by the whole city together.

Although Congress has a budget to solve some problems, it is only a budget. A very small part of the tax revenue returned to the regions is used to solve some problems of urban marginalization, but it is far from enough.

Although many issues have been implemented, they need to be solved by the entire society. Congress has opened a major on marginalized social issues. Businessmen who are interested in cooperation only need to submit an application, and Congress can quickly help the businessman process the application. And these Business activities must be targeted at marginalized groups in society and be able to bring them profits.

Orphans, the elderly, the disabled, the mentally ill, the homeless, scavengers, etc., but this special page has been open for many years. At the beginning, many businessmen came in, wanting to build a platform for these marginalized and vulnerable groups in society. Economic chain, but the results failed without exception. The money invested has been wasted, and it is difficult to achieve anything. Over time, this page seems to be forgotten, and the number of visitors may be less than 100 people a day.

Alpha stood quietly on the steps at the entrance of the hospital building. She did not go in, looking at the things on the light and shadow panel after field investigation. This place did not have any food supply as early as two and a half years ago. .

The water bill has always been borne by the Angus family, and some food will be delivered from time to time. However, since the Angus family had a big problem, the food supply has been cut off. If you can't get it out, you've already sold everything you can, so you naturally can't afford to wait and see what's going on here.

Obviously this kind of thing should not happen here. There are still less than 4,000 patients here. The simplest way is just to have more than 20 million people in the city donate a day's worth of food, which is enough to feed more than ten patients here. Year.

But obviously this is impossible. No one wants to pay attention to everything here. Alpha glanced back at the rising residential area behind the high wall. Nearly 60% of the people here have moved away, leaving only Got off this lonely Frye Mental Hospital.

No one cared about what would happen to the people here. Hua Shen walked over in one step and then brought up a light and shadow screen. The latest patient was admitted to the hospital 10 days ago. The result was still the same. He had been found in a room underground. The patient's body was starved to death while wearing a straitjacket.

Although a case with such a large number of deaths requires Section 5 to handle it, this is no longer a simple death case. The matter has developed to this point. Bodies are constantly being carried from the room below by Section 4 directors wearing protective equipment. Come up.

Huashen walked in step by step. There was a strong smell in the air. Alpha did not wear any protective equipment and just followed Huashen quietly. The elevator was still working, so the two of them took the elevator and arrived. On the 5th floor, Qin Xiaoxuan was standing outside the door of the dean's office.

"What should I do, President!"

Qin Xiaoxuan asked with a solemn expression. Alpha shook her head. She didn't know what to do. Frye might have something really wrong with his head, but Alpha just talked to Frye a few months ago. He didn't have any problem at all. problem, but Huashen has given a preliminary diagnosis report. Frye should be suffering from severe delusions, and because of his illness, more than 3,000 patients in the hospital starved to death.

Alpha couldn't find the answer to such a huge question that could make the whole city boil. She couldn't find the answer. She walked to the door and looked at Fry, who was lying on the shabby sofa with a peaceful face. He was still sleeping soundly. He looked very relaxed, and no one wanted to disturb Frye's dream, but there would always be a day when he would wake up from his dream.

"Want to wake up his mother?"

Qin Xiaoxuan asked, Alpha shook his head, and Huashen looked at Frye quietly. At this time, there was a violent noise in the corridor, and the floor collapsed. The three of them hurried over and saw a man carrying a body. 5 Section Director.

"Be careful, this building is about to collapse."

Qin Xiaoxuan said, but immediately shut up, because everyone looked unhappy. Alpha stroked the wall, which was very aged. As long as he applied slight force, the wall would crack. Fortunately, there is coagulant technology now. , the material of the wall can be solidified directly without demolition.

This mental hospital is finished. This is everyone's first reaction, because no matter what happens, the serious problems happening here will definitely be exposed.

Alpha sighed and lit another cigarette. The investigation did not reveal any doubts. All the patients were starved to death here and could not leave here. The only one they could rely on, Fry, had already Trapped in his own dream, he didn't even know what was happening around him, and he was unable to notice it.

"It's up to me."

Alpha exhaled a puff of smoke and walked slowly into the dean's office. Huashen took out the tranquillizer that he had prepared. Once Frye fell into great mental pain, he could only let Frye fall asleep. C, who sent Frye back before, also said that she just sent Frye back to the gate and left. She didn’t come in to see anything, but talked a lot with Frye. Although Frye was angry at the time, in the end nodded.

"Fry wake up!"

Alpha squatted next to Frye and pushed Frye's body slightly. Frye was still asleep at this time, but his eyelids were already moving.

"Wake up!"

Frye slowly opened his eyes, and his vision was blurry. Frye looked at everything around him in a daze. It seemed that it was already night, and the lights were on in the room, but for some reason, a chill began to appear in his brain. Then Frye felt sweat dripping all over his body, and the scene in the dean's room at night changed around him. For a moment, Frye looked at Alpha who looked worried in front of him.

"Alpha, what?"

Fry pressed his aching head and saw Hua Shen and Qin Xiaoxuan who were equally worried.

"Why are you all here?"

Frye heard a series of noises in his ears, as if something collapsed. Frye wanted to get up, but his body couldn't get up.

"You haven't eaten in about five days. If you continue like this you will die."

As Huashen said, Qin Xiaoxuan took out a can of liquid food from her pocket and handed it to Frye. Soon Frye wolfed it down. His memory was very confusing. He only remembered that he showed it to the patient this morning. However, for some reason, a strong sense of disobedience kept popping up in his mind. What made Frye feel that something was wrong the most was the messy and dusty dean's office.

"Did something happen?"

Frye asked, but Alpha didn't answer, just nodded. Alpha walked to the window and opened the window. After Frye stood up, Hua Shen handed over a glass of water. Frye was stunned for a while after drinking it.

"What happened!"

No one spoke, but from time to time there were crackling sounds below, and a burnt smell in the wind. This smell was all too familiar to Frye. He swallowed a mouthful, and only then did Huashen and Qin Xiaoxuan understand why Alpha It might be best to open the window and let Fry discover it for himself, rather than have it come out of their mouths.

Frye trembled and stood up unsteadily. Huashen dragged him. After coming to the window, Frye's eyes widened and he looked at the large areas of withered vegetable fields and a burning corpse. The incinerator, as well as the trustees in the courtyard below, all have familiar faces, they are classmates from the School of God in the past.

"What happened!"

Frye asked tremblingly. Alpha did not speak, looking into the distance with a stern expression. Frye pressed his forehead. He kept trying to think back. However, the memory of every day in the hospital seemed a little blurry. At this moment, Frye The bottom of my heart is cold, without any trace of warmth.

"You're seriously delusional Fry!"

Huashen said, and suddenly Frye turned around and stumbled to the ground. He walked and crawled, kept falling and getting up, and walked out of the dean's office. Huashen followed quickly.

Alpha brought up the light and shadow panel and directly reported the problem here to Congress.

In less than a minute, Alpha's phone rang.

"how so?"

Locke's voice sounded a little serious, and Alpha said with a bitter smile.

"Why is this happening? This problem has always been dealt with lagging behind. From here as a community for deformed people, to the subsequent internment of slaves, to the current mental hospital, the problems here have always been ignored, no one knows, and there is no one People notice everything here.”

"I'll come over right away. Don't let what happens here be exposed to Alpha, okay?"

Alpha squeezed the phone tightly, not knowing how to answer.

More and more corpses were taken out of the hospital building. After confirming the DNA, some corpses with family members were temporarily placed in the former doctor's lounge, and their names and places of origin were stamped with electronic spray codes. .

Those who had no family members were burned directly. The solemn-looking trustees quickly moved the bodies without saying a word. Heathcote was also helping, but now Heathcote was thinking more about the law. on the problem.

If this matter is exposed, Frye will be guilty of a felony, even if it is due to his own illness. If he had informed the problem here, it might not be so serious. Those doctors who left here would It's the same for us. It's also a crime not to report something when you know it.

But what should be done here now, Heathcote can't think clearly, because this matter cannot be defined by law. Many laws in this area are still being improved, and there are too many loopholes.

A helicopter came over quickly. Heathcote stopped what he was doing and patted Marcus on the shoulder.

"Take it easy."

Marcus hummed and continued to handle the corpses that had been moved. Everyone had a clear division of labor and moved the corpses very quickly. However, it seemed that these corpses could not be finished, and more and more were moved out.

A burst of heartbreaking cries sounded, and for a moment everyone looked at the hospital building. At this time, the elevator had just descended. Locke came here alone. He swallowed a mouthful and looked at the tragic situation here. , far more shocking than what Alpha said.

Locke walked quickly to the building and soon reached the 5th floor. He jumped over the collapsed floor and saw Frye sitting at the door of the dean's office, crying. Locke walked over and squatted on the floor. In front of Lai, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Many of the facilities and materials that were supposed to be given to Frye Mental Hospital were not fulfilled. Every time Frye came to the General Affairs Department, he would inevitably argue with himself, but every time Locke could only provide some assistance in a private name. But this is just a drop in the bucket here.

Other people have helped here to some extent, but it was only a drop in the bucket. Gradually everyone seemed to have forgotten about this place. Maybe everyone thought that Fry would always have a way to solve it.

"Feel sorry!"

Locke said in a deep voice. He stood up and closed his eyes. He had already thought of a solution in his mind. There was only one way to make the problems here disappear completely like this forgotten hospital. in the darkness.

When Locke opened his eyes again, he saw Alpha leaning against the door. The moment the two looked at each other, they understood what each other was doing.

"It can only be handled secretly!"

Locke said, Alpha smiled and shook his head.

"Only by letting everyone know what is going on here, can this hell-like place be seen and let light seep in."

"It just makes the city more chaotic."

The two of them didn't say anything else, because Frye's condition was very unstable at this time. He kept saying sorry, knelt on the ground feebly, and slapped the ground. His emotions were completely out of control, and his whole face was filled with out-of-control emotions. And became extremely distorted.

No one knew what to do next. At this time, Alpha had a doubt in his heart.

"People from Section 5 and Section 4 should come here for regular inspections. Why doesn't anyone know what's going on here?"

As soon as Alpha finished speaking, he immediately opened the light and shadow screen and retrieved the records of each visit of Section 4 and Section 5 personnel. The records showed that everything was normal, and Alpha began to retrieve the surveillance again.

Soon, with the assistance of intelligent AI, Alpha kept looking at the slowly turning pages of photos. These photos were all at the entrance of Frye Mental Hospital. Frye was talking about the specific situation with the staff who came to review, But many of the department staff who came over were just doing routine business and left after hearing what Fry said, and no one went in to take a look.

Locke walked into the dean's room. Frye was still crying. Everyone knew the seriousness of this matter for the entire society and for Frye. How to decide? Alpha also had to take the decision at this moment. I can't make up my mind, because once this matter is announced, Frye will definitely become the target of public criticism. How will the people who have not seen the truth with their own eyes treat Frye.

A light blue light fell into the yard. After landing, Gene took out a pack of cigarettes, took out two cigarettes, put one in his mouth, and handed the other to Tang Rao who was following him. Looking at everything in front of him, Gene looked at Locke who was by the window of the dean's room.

"Why don't you take a look?"

Tang Rao asked, but Jean didn't answer. He walked slowly through the crowd. Soon Jean came to the dean's office on the fifth floor. Looking at Frye, who was whimpering feebly, he didn't say anything. Standing aside quietly.

Frye paid too much for this hospital, but the result turned out to be like this. All the patients had died, not because of any malignant infectious disease or riots, but simply because of hunger.

Tang Rao walked over, squatted beside Frye, and gently stroked his back.

"It's okay, just start over. If you are willing, I will help you this time."

As Tang Rao said, Frye seemed to be unable to hear anything at this time. He was just immersed in his own world of grief. He could no longer see anything in front of his eyes and could hear nothing in his ears.

"There has to be a solution to everything!"

Locke said and Tang Rao nodded.

"Don't let anything out here."

After Tang Rao finished speaking, he looked at Alpha who looked angry.

"This time you have to listen to our little girl."

Alpha didn't answer, nod or shake his head. Gene walked over slowly, stretched out his hand and put it on Alpha's arm, but Alpha threw away Gene's hand.

“It doesn’t work every time!”

Alpha said and walked out. She grabbed Frye. At this time, Frye seemed to have come back to his senses. He was whimpering and shaking his head.

"stand up!"

Alpha said, letting go of Frye. He collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud. Alpha looked at Frye silently.

"None of us can help you Frye. You can only stand up on your own and face all this by yourself."

Fry kept shaking his head without saying a word. At this time, Gene sighed and walked to the door.

"If this place disappears, the last support for those mentally ill patients who no one cares about will also disappear. Perhaps this is indeed a bit cruel. In the past, our approach to treating such patients who had no cure at all was euthanasia, and only the family members were needed. Just agree, but now they are able to resume some basic daily behaviors! All because of your obsession Fry.”

Gene said, walking up to Frye and squatting in front of him.

"Whether you want to continue to make this place the last resort for patients, or let this place die, it's up to you to choose!"

Frye looked at Jean blankly. Jean's expression was very serious. Frye kept shaking his head. At this time, Jean stood up.

"This time, Tang Rao and I are the same Alpha. Things here cannot be spread! What we need to do now is to provide a certain degree of protection for this hospital to prevent this kind of thing from happening next time. For those who died The patients here can only apologize!”

Jean stared at Frye with cold eyes. Alpha turned around with a bitter smile and walked into the dean's office. Her expression at this time seemed a little angry. The city should not continue to move in this direction, because one day, Everything built up by countless lies will eventually collapse.

"Choose Frye! This is your own life."

As Gene said, Frye kept wiping his red eyes. He kept shaking his head. Pictures of the past were constantly rotating in his mind. Every choice was made at such an extremely difficult time. It was like this from the beginning. Every time, I made a choice when I was powerless.

Starting from following Monica when he was very young, if it weren't for the fact that he was about to starve to death, Fry would not have chosen to follow Monica because he was afraid of Monica. When he met Kull and Nabe, the father and daughter The same thing is true. If they weren't helpless and no longer had anywhere to go, Frye might not have followed the father and daughter.

The same goes for entering the Academy of God. If it weren't for Nabe's persuasion and Jean's persuasion, Frye wouldn't have made the choice.

Huashen looked at Fry quietly and smiled at him.

"I always think you are very suitable to be Dean Fry here! This is what a doctor should be like."

Frye stood up little by little, and at this time, a large piece of the floor collapsed, and a large piece of a house connected to the outside also collapsed. Along with the rising dust, Frye quietly looked at the light that came in. The light shines through the flying dust.

"I see!"

Frye nodded, and Alpha fell silent. She walked to the window and looked at the little sunlight that could finally be seen falling on the hospital's planting fields.

"What is right and what is wrong!"

Alpha said, clenching his fists, but at this time there was a feeling of powerlessness in his fists.

"Urgently remove some students and come over to deal with it together. Things here must be dealt with within today."

Locke said, Tang Rao shook his head.

"Go back, little fat guy, there are a lot of things going on in the General Affairs Department right now."

Jean quietly stared at Frye, who had returned to the principal's office with the help of Huashen. He looked a little better. Jean smiled and jumped to a protruding metal in the collapsed area and stood on it. in the sun.

"Is this true no matter what era? It is correct to choose the majority, Ellie!"

Gene thought of the tram problem he had faced countless times in the past. Such a paradox itself has no solution. Many people will only choose the majority, while those few who have problems will be forgotten and eventually disappear. not see.

At this time, a Section 3 helicopter appeared in the distance and landed in the courtyard in less than a minute. The moment Zijuan and Ling Hong walked out, they showed shocked expressions. .

Some more lifts came one after another, and all the classmates from the past who had received contact from Alpha came over.

Jean looked at the students coming over and had consciously joined the processing team. Everyone was moving quickly. Jean was bathing in the sunshine. He tried countless times to find answers to the majority or minority questions, but only It's a pity that I can't find the answer again and again.

"If you can't find it, think about it. Is the answer really important? What's important is people's hearts, right? I think the person who asked this question really has ulterior motives. After all, we are human beings. As long as we are human beings, we are the kindest people at heart. part is always touched by some tragedy, so I think the answer is actually very simple. Didn't I tell you Gene, if one day you are really powerless, give these answers to those who are willing to believe The world is a beautiful place, and people who are willing to choose kindness will surely be able to give the answer."

Gene smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"Where are you going to find someone like this Ellie?"

Looking at everything below, Gene fell into deep thought. The problem of institutionalization is the root cause that determines the choices of the majority and the minority. However, without constitution and order, society will be difficult to develop. A complete system backup plan will last for thousands of years. The things that push mankind forward are not those soft and warm things, because what you need to face is a cold world, and a little bit of warmth may be frozen in just an instant.

"I still can't find the answer, Ellie!"

At this time, a black and imperceptible smoke dissipated little by little at the top of Frye Mental Hospital, and in the black smoke, there was a pair of scarlet eyes, quietly staring at Alpha standing by the window.

Alpha's eyes were a little cold, like a wild beast, staring at everything outside.
