As if sensing Xia Linyin's thoughts, Su Yu nodded and said, "That's right, it's a consequence of that great battle."
“Controlling more than a thousand mechs at the same time is too much of a strain on the brain.” Su Yu shook his head and sighed, “The strain is just too much. Although you were injected with the X virus, your bodies are still just mortals. His mental strength has become superhuman, so his mental strength is enough to support controlling more than a thousand mechs, but his body does not allow it.”
"The pressure generated by simultaneously operating more than a thousand mechs is terrifying. And the fact that he operated them for such a long time means that his brain was under intense pressure for an extended period of time."
At this point, a hint of admiration flashed across Su Yu's baby face.
"His neurons must have been damaged at that time, but it's only now coming to light."
Xia Linyin took a deep breath, "Then what is his current condition..."
"Similar to a person in a vegetative state."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Xia Linyin clenched her fists, trying her best to steady her turbulent emotions and force herself to calm down. "Is there any way to wake him up?"
“His situation is rather special and somewhat tricky.” Su Yu frowned and stroked his chin. Conventional treatments definitely wouldn’t work on Xiao Li. He was certain that using a brainwave stimulator wouldn’t wake Xiao Li up, but rather cause the stimulator to explode.
Most instruments and systems would explode and be destroyed if connected to Xiao Li's brain, especially since he would instinctively reject foreign objects when he was unconscious.
"Give me two days, I'll come up with a solution."
Hearing this, Xia Linyin felt a little relieved. Su Yu's words meant there was hope of waking Xiao Li. What she was afraid of was that Xiao Li would continue to sleep like this, and she would wait helplessly, not knowing when the other party would wake up.
Xia Linyin gave Su Yu a deep look and said, "Please."
Time ticked by, and as Xia Linyin waited anxiously, various tubes were inserted into Xiao Li's body, and she was placed into a nutrient tank.
A tall, black-haired youth floated quietly in the pale blue liquid. His smooth black hair swayed like seaweed, and his exquisite features radiated breathtaking beauty, like the finest porcelain from an ancient Eastern country.
He was like a bewitching siren, every part of his body was perfect and breathtaking, and one could easily be captivated by his gender-transcending beauty.
Xia Linyin placed her palm against the wall of the nutrient tank, looked up at her lover, and the shimmering light from the nutrient solution cast fleeting shadows on her face, gently kissing her dark eyebrows, her straight nose, and her full red lips.
Those thick, curled eyelashes cast a dark, heavy shadow beneath the eyelids.
Her long, wavy hair, both alluring and retro, cascaded down her back, its disheveled appearance adding to her慵懒 (yōnglǎn, meaning languid or lazy) charm.
Looking at Xia Linyin like this, Su Yu understood why her younger brother had always been so infatuated with her. There are many beauties in this world, but few beauties with charm. Xia Linyin was the kind of beauty that was not empty, but had charm, temperament, and made people's hearts flutter.
Su Yu walked to Xia Linyin's side and looked at Xiao Li in the nutrient pod with her. "He is currently in a deep sleep. You need to enter his mental world to bring him out. However, due to the damage to his neurons, he is very likely to experience memory confusion and memory loss. Therefore, you need to keep contacting him in his mental world to achieve the goal of waking him up."
"This process may be short or it may be long, and nobody knows when he will wake up."
Su Yu turned to look at Xia Linyin, "To prevent you from getting lost in his mental world, we will guide you in and out through a system and exert macro-level control."
"But as you know, his mental power surpasses that of the system. In the previous situation, he was able to control the system. Now that we're in his territory, many things are unknown and uncontrollable. Nobody knows what will happen in his mental world. The system cannot provide a 100% guarantee. You might get lost in his mental world and never wake up again."
After telling Xia Linyin about the possible unexpected events, Su Yu solemnly asked, "Have you thought it through?"
The best outcome would be for Xia Linyin to wake Xiao Li, and the worst outcome would be for both of them to remain in a deep sleep forever.
If Xia Linyin fails, then no one will be able to enter Xiao Li's mental world anymore.
Xia Linyin looked at Su Yu without saying a word, but her determined gaze said it all.
Su Yu nodded. "Okay, come with me."
Lying down in the single bed next to the nutrient tank, Xia Linyin glanced at Xiao Li through the glass before turning her gaze away and putting on the blue-glowing helmet without any hesitation.
...
Wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown with the words "Nanshan Mental Hospital" embroidered on the pocket, with a soft, green lawn under her feet, the sky was blue, the clouds were white, and a faint fragrance of flowers wafted in the gentle breeze. This was the scene Xia Linyin encountered after entering Xiao Li's mental world.
Her mouth was covered by a wire mesh, like an upside-down cup made of thin wire, completely covering her mouth.
Xia Linyin touched the metal mesh covering her mouth in confusion. Then, a few small red words appeared before her eyes—
"Hint 1: You are a mental patient. You suffer from severe paranoia. You believe you are a biting zombie. Your condition flares up every hour."
After Xia Linyin finished reading the small red text, the red text that had been floating in her line of sight disappeared like smoke, and new content appeared.
"Tip 2: Night is dangerous: Every night, the world collapses, the mentally ill become normal, and doctors and nurses become mentally ill."
The content was refreshed again, and another row of new red text appeared.
Tip 3: Successfully playing the role of a mental patient for 3 days will allow you to upgrade to a nurse.
