Chapter 266 NO.0109: Case closed

"Kate Psychiatric Clinic..."

After getting off the car, Jim looked at his destination and leaned against the car door to read the name on the sign.

"Are you sure it's this one?"

He turned to look at Donata on the side and asked.

The latter nodded first, then said:

"Although I'm not sure whether Uncle Jin has come here for treatment, my annual mental index test is done here."

"That's right."

Jim muttered and reached out to open the holster under his armpit, and then confirmed again:

"Do you remember who I am and what I am doing here?"

Donata curled his lips at these two questions, and then dragged his voice to answer:

"Remember... You are my father's confidant. In order to allow me to leave the Nord resettlement area safely, he brought me here secretly. I want to show a valid certificate of normal mental index for six months, so that I can go through the legal exit and entry procedures of the resettlement area..."

Jim nodded:

"Don't reveal it at that time, and save some unnecessary trouble."

After that, he patted Donata's shoulder to show his safety, and then he took the girl to the clinic.

But when he entered the door, because of the holographic image at the door, Jim happened to bump into a well-dressed middle-aged man.

"Ah... I'm sorry."

Jim subconsciously apologized as he reached out to support the other person while stabilizing his center of gravity.

"No, no, no, I should apologize."

The other person also quickly stabilized his center of gravity and waved his hand.

After standing firm, the middle-aged man took a step back and looked at Jim, with an apologetic smile on his face:

"The sensing device of this thing is broken, and the holographic advertisement will not automatically close when approaching... It's normal that you can't see people, but I should have noticed that there was a shadow approaching outside the door."

Perhaps because the other person's smile was very contagious, Jim's face also showed a similar smile.

"Holographic billboards all over the world are like this, only the sensing equipment breaks down the fastest."

He joked as if he was very familiar with the other person.

The two smiled at each other, and the man made way for Jim.

"If you come to see a doctor, Dr. Kate is inside. But there are two people in front of you. If you don't have an appointment, you may have to wait in line for about half an hour."

Before leaving, the other party introduced very enthusiastically.

Jim nodded, and after thanking him several times, he led Donata into the clinic.

"By the way...are the people in the upper level of the resettlement area so friendly?"

Donata, who had not spoken the whole time, asked.

Jim did not answer.

After the automatic glass door closed, his smile disappeared without a trace like dew under the morning sun.

He turned his head and looked at the dark shadow that was getting farther and farther away behind the holographic projection, with a solemn expression on his face.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with that uncle just now?"

Seeing this, Donata asked curiously.

Jim was silent for a long time, and then he said:

"In the person just now, I can't see any changes in the topological structure of the representation of any advanced functions except basic physiological functions. His mirror neurons are like dug out, and he has no empathy at all."

"I can hear that this is bad, but can you explain it in some words that I can understand?"

Donata didn't understand Jim's professional terms.

"To put it simply, even a Komodo dragon has richer emotions than him."

"No way, didn't I see he was quite enthusiastic just now?"

Donata was a little unbelievable.

"Just like those antisocial lunatics, pretending."

Jim replied.

…………

As Jim expected, after leaving a message in the name of Donata at the front desk, they did not line up according to the clinic's regulations-although this gangster princess was not a member of this clinic, her identity had a higher priority than members.

"Please forgive me for not preparing coffee here. If you want to come next time, it would be better to tell us earlier."

The doctor named Kate complained half-jokingly after hurriedly pouring three cups of Coke and bringing them up.

"No need to apologize, after all, we deliberately did not inform you in advance this time."

Jim said lightly.

Dr. Kate, who was waiting for Donata to speak, turned her head and looked at Jim.

"And after today, I won't come here to bother you again in the future."

When speaking, Jim's expression did not change at all - at this moment, he had already put himself into the identity he had previously assumed.

And taking this opportunity, he also carefully observed the other party.

Doctor Kate looked like she was in her early thirties, but judging from her bone age, her real age should be between forty-five and fifty. She was wearing a white mental adjuster uniform, with light makeup on her face to cover her dark circles, and a high ponytail tied behind her head.

At this moment, the topology of the other party's representation showed some tension and uneasiness. On the other hand, she was very confident that everything was still under her control.

Kate's eyes moved back and forth between Jim and Donata for a while, then she looked at the latter and asked:

"I'm very sorry, but Miss Guzman... I probably haven't come into contact with this gentleman before. Can you introduce him to me?"

On the other side, just as Donata opened her mouth, Jim raised his hand to interrupt her and said:

"You can call me Jim. I usually help Mr. Anthony handle some business that is inconvenient for him to come out to handle - and the purpose of my coming here today is the same as my usual work."

Kate looked to Donata for confirmation, who nodded at her.

"Mr. Jim is now responsible for taking care of my safety and daily life."

Donata added softly.

In response, Kate closed her eyes and tapped her forehead with some distress - although she thought she was very secretive, Jim could tell at a glance that this was just her covering up who she was contacting using the brain-computer interface.

After a few seconds, she opened her eyes and leaned slightly closer to Donata.

"I have seen reports about your father. I have to say that this is really a pity... As a customer, he is a very good person."

Kate looked at Donata and said.

"We came to you because of this matter."

Before Donata could reply, Jim said:

"Also, if you really feel sorry, don't mention it in front of her again."

He put some warning into his voice.

Kate spread her hands forward in horror, indicating that she was sorry - but in fact, she was not frightened by Jim at all.

"If there's anything I can do to help, I will do my best... within the legal premise of course."

she whispered.

"How long does it take to conduct a mental index test?"

Jim asked.

"About five minutes."

The other party answered immediately.

"What about issuing a valid certificate of mental index with the electronic seal of the association?"

Jim continued to ask.

"This may take one to three days for review, but why do you need this...ah, I understand."

Halfway through the words, the other person's face suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization - and beneath that, a very secretive sigh of relief.

But in Jim's observation, her emotions were as conspicuous as ink marks on a white paper.

"This is required for an exit permit, right?"

While pretending to lower her voice, she also suppressed her excitement.

Kate originally thought that I came to see her about Mr. Jin.

Jim thought.

Even for a moment, the doctor had a clear murderous intention towards himself and Donata.

Based on all the above, as usual, the real culprit in this case has been found.

As usual, it's easy, quick, and oh so unchallenging.

Jim thought.

As the mind adjuster of "Old Jin", his cyberpsychosis was a masterpiece of malicious treatment by the man in front of him.

OK, case closed.

However, this case is like always - the closure is just the beginning of more trouble.
