Start in Night City

For example, when the United States was founded, slavery still existed, but slavery was clearly out of date at that time.

So a few decades later, the abolitionist movement emerged that called for the complete abolition of slavery.

The same goes for River.

He is a police detective himself (although he was suspended due to other reasons), his nephew is missing, and the department does not allow him to touch the case. Is he really going to go home and wait for the news?

This is obviously against human nature and against the spirit of freedom and democracy that the United States has always stood for.

What? You say that the United States has collapsed and disintegrated long ago, so why are you talking about American freedom and democracy?

Okay, that's okay.

Yawen's tone had a hint of pleading and pleading: "NCPD is investigating this case. If there is any result, I will notify you. So, River, leave quickly before anyone else comes, okay? ?”

But River didn't move: "It's not like you've never dealt with the bureau. Don't you count their virtues? You hand in the analysis report and you don't even hear a sound."

Yawen was a little angry.

Although this laboratory does not have surveillance cameras installed due to cost reasons.

But Yawen couldn't guarantee whether others would come back at this time.

If he comes back and sees them together, there is no guarantee that Yawen himself will not be implicated.

Yawen said angrily when he thought of this.

"Then what do you want to do? Are you acting on impulse? It is because of your thoughts that Night City has become lawless."

River crossed his arms.

"You have no choice? Do you still remember your first exam in medical school? That was the one...you passed the exam quickly without any effort."

"You won't forget, right? There was a fire in the women's restroom, and it took them two hours to evacuate everyone."

There is something in River's words.

Not to mention Yawen, even Su Xiao, an uninformed person, heard it.

River had helped Yavin before, but now he was going to use this to threaten Yavin into helping him.

Well, this can be regarded as a kind of favor, but as a last resort, Su Xiao tries not to use this method.

Because it's too hurtful.

really……

"You actually have the nerve to mention this in front of me."

Yawen was pinched, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and glared at River fiercely: "Don't let me see you here again! Especially you!"

Yawen turned to Su Xiao, who appeared here with River, and said as if complaining: "You don't know him yet, do you? This man is a big bastard!"

"Although I can understand your anger, you should also understand him. His relatives were kidnapped by that inhumane guy Harris."

Su Xiao paused and continued, "And I was suspended from my job, and I was not allowed to have any influence on it. The case was also handed over to a maggot who didn't do anything. If it were you, what would you do?"

Yawen took a deep breath, as if he was persuaded by Lidya Su.

"What are you looking for? Let me tell you in advance, if I can't help, there's nothing I can do."

Seeing that Yawen's attitude softened, River said a little more kindly: "I just want the dreams that Harris had. As long as we get this, we will leave immediately."

Yawen sighed: "He didn't dream."

River was stunned: "What? What's going on?"

"You two, come here with me."

Yawen was the first to leave the Mewtwo editing room.

Su Xiao and River looked at each other, and River said: "I believe Yawen won't lie to me. Let's follow her first and listen to what she has to say."

So they followed Yawen to a room next door.

"The bullet damaged his cerebral cortex and we just

Chaotic emotions and fragments of consciousness were extracted. "

River frowned and said: "Visual and auditory interactive simulation, haven't you tried this method?"

Yawen retorted: "But he is not within the scope of the wave spectrum."

"But using a song or a movie to get children to react is worth a try."

The method River mentioned is used to treat autism.

No matter how autistic children are, they will eventually have something that interests them.

It might be a certain song, or a movie or something.

If you start with what they are interested in and make them feel that the therapist is the same type of person as them, it will shorten the distance between the therapist and them.

This is done to make these autistic children feel that the therapist is different from the adults outside and is their friend.

This way, they will be less resistant to therapists and treatment options, greatly increasing the success rate of treating autism.

So what River was thinking was, since this method can be used on autistic children, whether it can also be used on the comatose Harris.

At the very least, it would be good to induce him to dream.

"Of course I know this method has a certain success rate, but Harris is not a child, and I have never done similar experiments on adults."

Su Xiao asked: "If this method is possible to succeed? Why didn't you use this method before?"

If you just let the unconscious prisoner listen to a song or a movie, there will be no sequelae.

Su Xiao was very surprised. Since Yawen knew this method, why didn't he give it a try? It doesn’t cost money anyway, right?

Yawen glared at Su Xiao angrily: "I'm different from River. I went to medical school and studied neuroscience, but the theories he talks about are all hearsay."

"Also, we don't know what Harris likes."

Chapter 277 The Promised Neverland (3K)

Well, it seems that Yawen is not unwilling, but unable to start.

River could hear the looseness in Yawen's tone: "I'll find a way. So, do you agree?"

Yawen snorted.

"Do you think I have any choice? Let's go. I'll open the door for you. Don't come back again."

After that, Yawen stopped caring about the two of them and walked out first.

When Yawen went out, River couldn't hide his joy.

As long as Yawen agrees to help him, then he only needs to find a way to get something that Harris likes, and then pass it on to Yawen, and ask Yawen to play it to Harris, and then he can induce Harris to dream.

Although Harris' dream may not necessarily contain clues to help River find his nephew.

But at least this gave River a glimmer of hope.

It's better than doing nothing.

"Come on, Sue, I've got a detailed plan."

…

Leaving the NCPD laboratory through the main entrance, Su Xiao and River returned to the car.

River started the car and drove in the direction of Santo Domingo.

"I know what you want to say, just ask."

"That old acquaintance of yours said that you were fired from the police force. What on earth is going on?"

River pretended to smile lightly.

"Didn't you hear what Yawen said? I went to see Director Jerry Fult to eliminate the unhealthy tendencies in the bureau, but I didn't expect that Director Fult started this evil trend on his own initiative. "

“They confiscated my police badge and the Lexington issued to me by the department, and told me not to go to work anymore, and they stopped paying me a salary. "

He paused and said hesitantly.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, nor did I think you were untrustworthy. I just... find it hard to talk to others, especially bad things."

"I can understand, and sometimes, bringing up bad things with the wrong people can lead to worse results." Su Xiao saw that River didn't look like he was wandering around aimlessly, so he asked, "But, we Where is this going?”

"Jos's house is where my nephew Randy's mother lives. She thinks Randy just ran away from home, so please don't mention the kidnapping."

"Shouldn't we go to Harris' house to search?"

"I have already visited Harris's home and found no clues about the missing children."

Su Xiao instantly understood the reason why River was going to Randy's house.

"Your nephew was kidnapped by Harris. They must have contacted him before. Do you want to find clues from their chat records?"

"Yes, that's right."

"If there are no clues about Harris's family, River...don't you think their chat records may not have what you want?"

River was silent for a while and then said: "But there is no other way now, is there?"

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere in the car was silent for a while, before River took the initiative to break the silence.

"By the way, I want to hear your analysis. Anthony Harris gave himself the nickname "Peter Pan." Do you think it was chosen casually, or does it have any meaning? "

Lidya Su thought for a while and said.

"In the story of the novel, there is a family named Mr. Darling, who has three children. One night, Peter Pan flew to their window and said that he would teach them to fly and take them to a place full of children.

A place for adventure. "

"The three children were so happy that they soon learned to fly from Peter Pan."

River couldn't help but ask.

"Wait, how can a kid fly?"

Su Xiao was a little speechless by River's seriousness: "Do you have to be serious about fairy tales for children?"

River realized his mistake and immediately raised his hands.

"Sorry, my bad, you continue."

Lidya Su continued.

"These three children followed Peter Pan and flew to a beautiful island-Neverland."

"There are ferocious beasts on the island, as well as "red men" from primitive tribes, terrible pirates, and of course little fairies and mermaids. "

"In short, everything that often appears in children's dreams and fantasies is here."

"So there were hunts with wild beasts, real wars between red men and pirates or between children and pirates."

"The children are separated from adults, unfettered and free. Under the leadership of Peter Pan, they can play to their heart's content and experience various dangers."

"But later, these children who had run away from home began to miss their mother. Motivated by one of the children, they said goodbye to the "Neverland" that had brought them infinite joy and flew back home. "

"They all grew up, but Peter Pan never grew up and never came home."

"He is always flying around, taking generations of children away from their families, allowing them to go to "Neverland" to enjoy the freedom and joy of childhood. "

River pondered: "This sounds like a very common fairy tale, but why would a pervert like Anthony Harris name himself Peter Pan?"

Lidya Su said.

"In the novel, Peter Pan is a boy who never grows up. There is no such person in reality, but it does not prevent that in Harris's heart, there lives a child who never grows up."

"Also, maybe he kidnapped the missing children and I thought he took them to the "Neverland" in the novel. "

River's eyes widened: "Is his brain broken? How is it possible that kidnapping is the same as Peter Pan's behavior in taking the children to Neverland in the novel?"

Lidya Su shook her head.

"People think differently. If everyone had the same three views, there wouldn't be so many prisoners in the world."

"Actually, if it's just like this, it's not the worst case scenario. I'm afraid that Harris thinks he is which version of Peter Pan."

River was stunned and said, "Su, what do you mean by this?"

Lidya Su stretched out two fingers.

"There are two settings for Peter Pan. One is what I just told you, the setting we know best now, and the other is an early version."

"The most obvious difference in that version is that Peter Pan will not let the children who want to go home go home, he will hurt those who love him, and he will kill the children who have grown up - because this is a violation of Neverland Specified."
