The car passed through the open space with metal boxes and came to the gate of the shelter embedded in the mountain.
The heavy door slowly rose up, revealing a space for the car to enter.
As the transport vehicle drove into the passage, a beam of incandescent light shone straight in, and S01 could be vaguely seen standing at the end of the passage.
After Chen Xu got out of the car, he asked directly, "How is she now?"
S01 replied, "She hasn't regained consciousness yet."
Chen Xu said, "Please take me to see her."
"plz follow me."
S01 led the way, with Chen Xu and 2003 following behind.
2003, which had been talking nonstop in the car, was now exceptionally quiet. It was the same as last time, as if its chatterbox mode was automatically ineffective in front of S01.
After walking through two halls, S01 stopped in front of a door and opened it. "She's in there."
Chen Xu heard melodious music coming from inside and walked over.
The lights in the room were bright. Yang Jinxia was lying on the bed inside. Her face was pale, with almost no blood on her lips. She looked fragile and helpless.
He almost didn't recognize her at first sight. How could she become like this in just a few days? "The medical system suggested that playing some light music could help soothe her nerves." S01 said next to him.
He had some doubts in his heart, but now they have been completely dispelled. He felt a little heavy and asked, "When did she become like this?"
"At four o'clock in the morning of the second day after you left, I received an alarm from the life monitor in her room. At that time, she had lost consciousness and her vital signs were constantly weakening."
Chen Xu couldn't understand it. He turned his head, looked at it, and asked, "What happened? When I left, she was fine. How come she suddenly became like this?"
S01's tone did not change as he continued, "I took her to the medical bay for a full-body scan. She had no drug reaction, and there were no signs of disease in her organs. The final conclusion was that it was a mental problem."
Chen Xu stared at it and said slowly, "I cannot accept this reason."
"Sir, I understand how you feel. The most important thing now is to help her wake up."
The green dots in S01's eye sockets flickered a few times, and his tone slowed down. "Although her case is rare, it is not unprecedented in medical history."
Chen Xu also knew that if it really wanted to harm her, there was no need to inform her. So she suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked, "What should I do?"
"In her case, she must have experienced a near-death experience and suffered great mental trauma at the time. Therefore, when she falls into a similar environment again or is subjected to strong mental stimulation, her brain will produce a stress response, and she will subconsciously think that she has returned to the situation on that day, causing her body to recreate the state at that time."
S01 explained in detail, "This situation can usually be blocked with drugs. However, the shelter is no longer able to produce such drugs."
Hearing this, Chen Xu suddenly said, "In her situation, you could have just woken her up. Why did you wait until now and let her become so seriously ill?"
S01 said, "I'm sorry, my underlying program prohibits me from doing anything that would harm humans under any circumstances."
Chen Xu looked at 2003 with an inquiring look.
It said, "Yes, every robot that leaves the factory will be programmed like this. In this case, only medical robots have the right to take corresponding measures."
He asked, "You mean, forcibly waking her up might cause her harm, right?"
"Yes. To relieve her from this state, it would be best if someone close to her were present."
Chen Xu shook his head, "I've only known her for a little over a month, and we're not close at all."
S01 said, "She fell into this state after you left."
"You mean, it's me who caused her to become like this?" Chen Xu heard the implication of its words and stared at it with a hint of anger on his face.
S01 said, "She made a request to me at that time. She asked me to inform you if she died."
Chen Xu's face first turned red, then turned blue. He walked to the bed and looked at Yang Jinxia lying there.
She closed her eyes tightly, frowned slightly from time to time, and looked very weak, which completely overturned the impression he had of her.
He stood there for a while, his expression gradually calmed down, and he spoke, "We have only known each other for more than a month, and we don't have much contact. I don't believe that you would be so devastated by my leaving. You are not so fragile. There must be other reasons."
"But I didn't expect you to be so stupid. Even if I feel guilty for the rest of my life because of your death, so what? You're dead, what does it mean to you?"
"Besides, I despise people who use their lives to threaten others the most. Your life is your own. People who use their own life to punish others are hopelessly stupid."
As he spoke, he sat down on the bedside and took her hand. It was ice cold and there was no warmth at all.
He stared at her blankly for a while, then suddenly sighed and murmured, "Come to think of it, I ignored your emotions too much. It's hard for a normal person to accept such a huge change when they suddenly come to this world. I should have given you more care."
For the first time, he felt that copying others into dreams was a bit unfair. After all, to some extent, the characters he copied were no different from real people.
In the previous dream, he didn't feel this too deeply, mainly because Luo Xiyun acted too strong.
Unexpectedly, Xia Jinse, who seemed to have better adaptability, soon couldn't bear it and almost collapsed completely.
"Why did I choose to copy her?"
Suddenly, he began to examine his inner self. What he hoped for was a beautiful dream journey, not the current situation.
He also understood where the problem lay, but before this, he was unwilling to face it.
"Why can't you be honest?"
He smiled bitterly and said to himself.
"My grandmother taught me since I was a child that I should not expose my weaknesses to others."
A faint voice sounded in his ears.
