Chapter 73 The doctor looked at his former self and began to frequently climb over the wall, starting once every two weeks and then once a week.
The doctor watched as his former self began to frequently climb over the wall, starting once every two weeks, then once a week, then once every three days, and finally almost every day.
They now make plans every day and occasionally joke around, looking quite content, if it weren't for the fact that the girl's expression changes every time the doctor leaves.
"What do you want to do after you get out?" The doctor already knew that this girl had been here since she was a child and had never left. He thought she would be confused, and even thought that she could come back to the base with him.
Unexpectedly, the girl replied without hesitation, "I want to go home."
"Go home?" The doctor was a little puzzled. The girl had been here since she was a child, so how could she still remember her home?
However, he didn't ask the question aloud, as he felt it would be too painful for the girl. "Okay, then I'll go with you to find your home."
The girl smiled but did not agree; she remained silent.
Once, a former doctor saw the girl busily drying medicinal herbs and asked her curiously what they were.
The girl paused. "You don't know?" The girl was somewhat surprised.
The doctor honestly shook his head, and the girl laughed heartily, "If you don't know, do you want to study medicine with me?"
"I studied medicine."
"It's not Western medicine, it's traditional Chinese medicine," the girl explained as she worked.
"Huh? What about traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine? Don't you have superpowers? You cured her in no time." As soon as the doctor finished speaking, he noticed that the girl's mood was a little down.
The doctor immediately realized he might have made a mistake, "No, no, no, your medical skills are amazing. I've never seen this thing before."
"If I could, I'd rather I'd never had this ability at all." The girl stretched out her hand, a hint of sadness in her voice. "My ability has never helped anyone; it's only been used to heal those who are afraid of death, extending their lives in ways that can never be done. As soon as I recover, they drain the last bit of my ability. The feeling of having no ability left is unbearable, and sometimes when I'm injured, I don't even have the ability to heal myself. I only have these herbs..."
"It's alright, I'll get you out of here," the doctor reassured him.
The girl smiled helplessly; it was the first time the doctor had seen her sorrow.
The next day, the girl saw the doctor climbing the wall again. She was about to let him in when the doctor waved his hand and said, "I'm being chased, so I'm not coming in." Then he chuckled and said, "We've known each other for a long time, and I brought you a gift today."
A green bracelet fell precisely into the girl's arms. The girl looked up in shock, with some confusion in her eyes.
"I went to steal something today and saw this bracelet. It's green, and I think you'd like it. This bracelet can store supernatural abilities. You can inject a little bit of your supernatural ability into it every day, and they won't notice." The doctor touched his nose and smiled smugly.
Today, the doctor looked disheveled, carrying a large stolen package on his back, and squatted on the wall with his legs spread apart in an unseemly manner. But the girl remembered that the doctor that day had a radiant glow.
Even the director was a little moved and nudged the doctor who was pretending to be dead next to him, "Were you delivering something as a side effect, or were you stealing something as a side effect?"
The doctor was still stubbornly insisting, "I only gave her the things because I couldn't carry them all." The spirit doctor watched this scene unfold, and memories he had long forgotten began to resurface.
Soon, a large group of people came running after them, shouting, "Quick, he's over here!"
The doctor hurriedly said goodbye, "Goodbye, I'm leaving now."
The girl gave a soft "hmm".
After the doctor escaped, they heard the girl touch her bracelet and say softly, "I said all this so that he would work harder to rescue us, but I didn't expect..." She smiled and said, "He's an idiot."
She thought the doctor wouldn't care after she spoke up, because he would take her out soon, so all she had to do was endure the pain for a while...
She couldn't see the doctor next to her had already gone berserk: "Aaaaaah! I risked my life to steal the bracelet and she just cursed at me! She lied to me again."
The director silently pulled the doctor aside and muttered to himself that the doctor had just said it was impossible to remove.
"It shouldn't be considered a lie, it's true, it's just a scheme," the director said calmly.
The doctor... the doctor became even more irritable.
Unable to hold on any longer, the director simply let go. The doctor paused, asking, "Why aren't you holding me anymore?"
"It's funny, you make it sound like you can actually touch it."
So the doctor silently squatted back down, feeling that his tolerance had increased again.
The plan was quickly implemented, but the doctor discovered that this time he could no longer possess his former self, so he silently gave up.
The director asked, "What's wrong?"
"This operation will fail." The doctor had originally intended to save them.
The director sighed and patted the doctor on the shoulder. "Don't overthink it. Everything here isn't the past, but rather memories that have changed something. This place is primarily based on Burger King's memories. Back then, you made this world aware of the anomaly from the very beginning, allowing Burger King to distinguish between you. That's why you can only be a ghost now."
The doctor was somewhat dejected. He was still young back then, and most of the plans were made by the girl, which initially went very smoothly.
This grass was similar to a type of wild grass commonly consumed by people at the bottom of society. Without any suspicion, everyone started eating it heartily. Since no one was picky about food, they were just glad to have something to eat.
Soon it was midnight, and sure enough, everyone started to doze off, with the people on duty slumped over in all directions.
They sneaked in quietly and quickly found the place where "Baby" was kept.
Seeing her baby on the verge of death, the young woman's heart ached and tears streamed down her face.
She picked up the baby and injected her supernatural power into him. After her power was depleted, she finally saw that the baby was getting better and breathed a sigh of relief. This base was very large and had many people. Just because these people at the bottom would eat these "wild vegetables" did not mean that the higher-ups would eat these things that they considered lowly.
But as they approached the door, they discovered that a high-ranking official had tried to wake someone in the middle of the night, but no one came after a long time. He got up angrily and immediately knew what had happened when he saw everyone sleeping soundly.
A sharp alarm blared, and the doctor's heart tightened as he looked at the people gradually gathering around. "Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Why are they awake?"
The girl was somewhat saddened, saying, "They didn't wake up; they were just being controlled."
The girl turned around, and only then did the doctor notice that she was holding a dagger and slashing her own neck.
The doctor hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, what are you doing? We're not at that point yet. The door is right there, we'll be out in a couple of steps."
“I can’t get out. Do you know why people here are treated so badly but no one rebels? Everyone who joins has been given ‘drugs.’ We’re like puppets, controlled by them. I can’t escape. If you take me with you, I might stab you. Can you help me take the baby out?”
"*! You didn't even want to live, did you?!" the doctor exclaimed angrily.
The girl looked up. "No, I want to live. You'll save me, right? I'll wait for you, right here."
Seeing them swarming up like zombies, the doctor could only grit his teeth and carry the dog away.
This is because the doctor is confident he can come back and save her; if he also dies here, there is no hope left.
But at that time, the doctor didn't know the saying "it's worse than death." He didn't know what she had gone through during his rescue. He only knew that he had kept his promise, but the girl had lied to him.
The doctor watched as the girl was taken back and floated in the air, and all he could do was feel anxious.
The doctor shook the director anxiously, "Director, you have to think of something!"
"There's no way around it, she's already been captured and can't escape now. She originally wanted to commit suicide, you know she's not very pain-tolerant." The doctor didn't know why the director could be so calm and completely unmoved.
The matter was quickly investigated and the truth was revealed. Because the girl refused to reveal who the second person was, she suffered even harsher treatment. The doctor had never known that there were so many ways to torture someone.
Because she has healing abilities, she cannot die; she also needs to eliminate those old, immortal beings.
Her body was covered in wounds, and her legs were beaten to a pulp. She had superpowers but wouldn't allow herself to be healed.
The doctor looked away with great reluctance. He was unaware of what she had gone through, and his previous resentment towards the girl had turned into pity for her.
In just five days, the doctor felt he was suffocating. Just looking at these torture methods made him feel a dull pain all over his body. In the later stages, he could only turn his head away and numbly listen to the girl's screams.
Now he understands why the girl committed suicide back then.
She only wanted to save her dog's life from the beginning. But now, she's staying because of something the doctor said, and is barely clinging to life.
Soon the doctor brought reinforcements, who were the second-in-command of the research institute rather than a poison master, and thus he was treated with courtesy.
Without beating around the bush, he stated his demands directly, and in the end, he only managed to get the girl out by giving up a portion of his territory.
With sufficient incentives, they agreed to let them pick her up in ten days. The doctor tried his best to persuade them, but he couldn't change their minds. The truth was simple: they wouldn't be satisfied with the girl's condition, so they planned to cover it up.
The girl in the dark, sunless dungeon had no idea what was happening.
All I know is that on that day they let her heal herself and they didn't hit her again.
She thought he was only treating her because he was afraid she would die from the next torture, but she still tried her best to treat herself. The bracelet was hidden and inconvenient to use. It was really difficult for her to treat herself in such a state of being covered in wounds and not having enough to eat.
Ten days later, when she could barely walk, the girl was dragged out.
As she walked down the long corridor, she was embraced by a warm embrace. "Come on, I've come to take you home." The girl felt that the sun seemed especially warm that day, perhaps because she hadn't been in the sun for so long.
