Chapter 78: The Voice of Ordinary People I have received professional training! …
"What's wrong with me? Speak louder. I'm listening."
Faced with such a frank question, Hai Mian couldn't help but look at the other person again. The young man was delicate and heroic, his words were aggressive, but his eyes revealed a thoughtful sophistication.
His temperament was neat and upright, which made people like her feel uncomfortable.
It's like a rat in the sewer smelling the odor of 84 disinfectant.
Hai Mian maintained a professional and calm tone, deliberately raising his voice and said, "Mr. Bai, I'm a doctor. Please answer me directly - did you ask someone to do [brain expansion] to forcibly improve your mental strength?"
She suppressed a hint of mischief and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid a legal and rule-abiding doctor like me can't treat you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around were shocked. [Brain expansion] is not a good word.
They, the drivers, have a wide range of information in the circle and have more or less heard of some shady ways.
For example, relying on taking drugs to temporarily increase mental strength and infiltrating a five-star society. Some of the more ruthless ones would even operate on their brains, using methods that are expressly prohibited by law to further develop their mental power in order to achieve the effect of reaching the pinnacle of achievement at a young age - that is, [brain expansion].
But everything has two sides.
If you want to take shortcuts, you will pay a heavy price.
The effectiveness of [brain expansion] varies from person to person, but in the past, some people have used this method to soar to fame and become popular drivers. But after three to five years or a year, various side effects will follow, including but not limited to headaches, trance, hallucinations, and loss of consciousness...
Any of these could be fatal to a driver's high-risk occupation.
The crowd started to discuss in a chaotic manner: "It is not feasible to force the growth of seedlings. Even elementary school students know this."
"He took the risk just to get into the society. I've always wondered how a disabled bird like him could tame a rattlesnake."
"Now...should we contact the leader and expel 'White Zero'?"
Anna walked over decisively and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Bird Boy is not that kind of person."
She was the only one among this group of people who knew that Birdy had a righteous character and would never cause trouble for others. Being questioned by so many colleagues at once must be disheartening.
Anna stood in front of Hai Mian and asked, "You swore that there was something wrong with Bai Ling. Do you have absolute evidence?"
"Of course, please don't question my professionalism."
Hai Mian had already planned to enlarge the projection screen of the optical computer by 5 times so that everyone in the audience could see it clearly.
She pulled out a foldable electronic pointer from her coat pocket, extended it to its longest position, tapped the edge of the mental wave image, and said in a simple and condescending tone, as if she was teaching a group of confused elementary school students:
"You may not understand, let me explain."
"Please look at this cross-sectional image. Although the inner wall of his collective brain circuit is spacious and can be judged to be above S-level, if you zoom in, you can see that the inner wall is full of potholes, as if it had been dug with a shovel. It is obviously the trace of being artificially stretched open bit by bit by external force."
Everyone poked their heads out and said hesitantly, "It does seem a little off."
Hai Mian adjusted his glasses and added, "I use the most advanced PHA brain wave acquisition and analysis device currently available. It is also a device used exclusively by major hospitals and top clinics."
Anna is the club manager. Although she doesn't know much about psychiatry, she often handles the examination reports of some members. Therefore, she knew that Hai Mian's explanation was correct, so she could only blush and look at Bai Ling worriedly.
Bird boy, did you really take a shortcut...
It must be painful to widen the spiritual channel bit by bit, just like digging a tomb with a small file.
Anna was both heartbroken and confused, but she saw that Bai Ling looked calm. He even had the leisure to raise the terminal, take pictures of the two images, and fiddle with the screen, not knowing who he was sending them to.
A minute later, Bai Ling saw the message, raised his eyebrows slightly, and put the terminal back into his pocket as if nothing had happened.
Hai Mian asked jokingly, "Mr. Bai is silent. Are you feeling guilty?"
Bai Ling fixed his eyes on the other person and said, "Since I am really hopeless, please prescribe some medicine for me, Doctor Hai."
Hai Mian was slightly startled, then immediately smiled and said, "Okay."
It takes no effort to get it. As long as you mix the chronic poison into the medicine and watch "Bai Ling" eat it, he will gradually become listless and lose his appetite, and then his internal organs will bleed due to the poison...
Finally, I would cough up blood just by going up the stairs or taking a breath.
Hai Mian prepared medicine from his own medicine box and brought a small cup over. "This is a high-energy tonic. It's very good for your body."
Bai Ling took it and put it to his mouth as if he was about to drink it. But under Hai Mian's expectant gaze, he suddenly stopped.
Bai Ling said slowly: "Oh, by the way, I just drank wine when I came here, so I can't take medicine at this time. I must take such precious medicine back and taste it slowly."
Unexpectedly, Hai Mian's face changed and he immediately said, "No."
"Why not?"
Hai Mian forced an explanation: "The liquid medicine will oxidize if exposed to the air. It will lose its medicinal properties after one or two hours."
Bai Ling guessed that she would explain it this way, as that was how Hai Mian had deceived him in his previous life.
"But I have drunk alcohol, so I really can't take medicine now. I believe that Dr. Hai, who is very professional, also understands this simple truth."
Hai Mian narrowed his eyes and said reluctantly, "Okay. Then give me this cup and I'll open a new one for you tomorrow."
She stretched out her hand to grab it, but Bai Ling was quicker than her. She raised her hand to dodge, stepped back to an open space, and said with a smile:
"It's such a shame to throw away such a good nutrient. There are also other people in the group who have brain fatigue after training, so this is a good opportunity to replenish them."
As soon as he finished speaking, an alpha responded: "Yes, yes, why is it that no one loves us? We want to drink the nutritional supplements, too!"
"Doctor Hai, one cup is not enough. Give each of us one."
“Yes, you are a professional and we all trust you.”
Hai Mian's face turned pale instantly, and he watched Bai Ling distribute the poison to others, giving each person a small sip, but he himself did not drink any.
Once everyone is dragged into this, the problem becomes much more serious.
The only mission Hai Mian received was to "kill Bai Ling." If she was careless and made things seriously wrong, she would likely be punished by the company or even thrown back to the deserted planet to fend for herself.
She didn't even dare to think about how terrible the consequence would be!
“——No one is allowed to drink!” Hai Mian ordered subconsciously.
Everyone turned around in shock and found that her face was hideous. There was no trace of the capable look she had just now. Instead, her eyes were rolling around and she was sweating profusely.
They are also highly perceptive drivers and can of course see that the other party is guilty.
He looked down at the black liquid shaking in his hand, and his heart suddenly sank, and he realized something. There's something wrong with this medicine!
Anna ordered coldly: "Close the door and catch her!"
Hai Mian is not a real fighter, so of course he can't resist a group of alphas rolling up their sleeves to tie him up. But she was relieved when she learned that the group wanted to interrogate her.
Her mental stability rate is 85%, which is at an excellent level.
It was simply a pipe dream for these people to extract information from a professionally trained corporate spy like her.
Anna sat in the battle formation, and everyone watched angrily with their arms folded. Under the pressure of so many eyes, Hai Mian still maintained a stable mentality and performed Tai Chi in an orderly manner:
"I understand. Your society is afraid that the news about the mentally ill driver will spread, so you framed me and wanted to revoke my medical license."
"I tell you, I will not succumb to your power."
She was confusing right and wrong and putting the blame on others. Everyone was furious, but they couldn't do anything to her for the time being.
At this moment, Bai Ling suddenly said, "Miss Hai seems to be very familiar with the process of framing someone. If you are not studying this all day long, why are you not in a hurry to prove your innocence?"
Hai Mian was stabbed in the lungs and said angrily: "I am innocent to begin with, I don't need to prove myself."
"Oh? Then who is this?"
Bai Ling projected the image on the terminal, and a photo of a person with a numb look in the eyes appeared. The face was Hai Mian's face, and most importantly, she was wearing the employee ID of Rico Company on her chest.
Everyone gasped.
Ruiko Company has long had a bad reputation in the mecha circle. No normal person would dare to buy its warming agent, so the company's business has begun to shift towards medical devices.
It is said that this year, seeing the great response to the special mecha for disabled birds, Rico Company immediately followed suit and established several projects, and even sent in commercial spies, and even the original data of the Rattler was almost stolen.
Businessmen will not get up early without profit. Thomas Joseph Downing once said: "If there is a 50% profit, capital will take risks; for 100% profit, capital dares to trample on all human laws; with a profit of more than 300%, capital is not afraid of committing any crime."
The Rico Company has obviously set its sights on these drivers, wanting to drug them and then steal their secrets!
The drivers were filled with righteous indignation and raised their fists, wanting to send Hai Mian to the police station angrily.
Hai Mian gave up and sneered, "Even if I am sent to the police station, as long as I keep silent, I will be released as soon as possible. What a joke! Do you think those policemen with average mental stability can deal with me?"
"I'm professionally trained!"
Just as he finished speaking, the office door slowly opened and someone came in late.
The man wearing a black mask stood by the door frame with his arms folded. "My stability rate is 90%. Is that enough to deal with you?"
"you……"
Hai Mian's lips turned pale and he could hardly speak. Seeing that she was hopeless, she angrily framed "Bai Ling" and said she would drag someone else down with her:
"No matter what I did, 'Bai Ling' used illegal means to expand the spiritual path, the crime is true!"
Bai Ling casually made a call, turned on the amplifier, and dealt her a fatal blow.
The person in the video is Doctor Woodpecker. He is sitting in the office of the clinic. On the wall behind him hang countless patent certificates, which are enough to show his authority.
"Hello everyone, I am Doctor Woodpecker, and my license number is 2413-38675. I guarantee with my professional credentials that the test image you just saw was not Mr. Bai's, but the data that was stolen from our hospital."
Hai Mian was shocked and looked at Zhuo Dong in the video.
But the other party had lost all his compassion and tenderness, and his expression became firm and businesslike:
"We have collected evidence and submitted it to the police. We will soon sue Ruike Pharmaceuticals for unfair competition, illegal theft of information, and endangering personal safety. If you want to join the rights protection movement, please contact Mr. Bai."
Hai Mian collapsed completely in the chair.
In fact...she still kind of likes this honest, naive little woodpecker...
But now, the only warmth she had ever felt in her heart was destroyed by her own hands. She regretted it very much. If she had given up her company mission and married Little Woodpecker, she would have stayed in the clinic as an ordinary nurse.
Her life might be much happier than it is now.

In just two hours, the news that Ruike Pharmaceutical was "making trouble" again spread throughout the entire mecha circle. Many media outlets smelled the heat and worked overtime to write articles.
Among them, the media platform under Gorgon is at the forefront.
【Ordinary Voice】
The origin of this "ordinary voice" is not ordinary. Half a month ago, it was still a third-rate media that relied on digging into drivers' privacy to gain traffic. After being acquired by Gorgon, it changed its style and began to focus on brilliant and sharp broadcasts.
Its content not only covers mecha circle events, but also adds channels such as society, entertainment, and rule of law. It solicits manuscripts from the whole society, accepts all topics, and can be submitted anonymously.
This model is not new, but in the context of the new empire where speech is controlled by the upper class aristocracy and all major media have the same boring mouth, it seems particularly...
Be bold and unpretentious.
This time, the anchor of "Ordinary Voice" performed steadily and said something shocking: "This year happens to be the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Ruike Pharmaceuticals. Obviously, the company's top management made a wise decision to transform. Oh~ I mean, transform into a 'criminal' company. I have to praise it. It's really like an old man eating arsenic - he thinks he has lived too long."
At the same time, the underwater metropolis——
"It's bad, it's bad, Grand Duke. Our company's reputation has been ruined. Even the government station can't handle the coverage. Now a lot of people are protesting on Star Street in the capital, demanding that the monarch must shut down Rico. This is one of our pillar industries. What should we do next?"
"It's a rebellion... It's really a rebellion... How dare a bunch of idiots openly challenge me," the Duke of Swordfish, who had lived too long, shouted angrily, "Catch them and chop them up, chop them all up!"
On the other side, the 72 Demon King Pillars were holding an anonymous meeting.
The shadow man [Painter] reported respectfully and excitedly in a slightly weathered voice: "Dear The One, we have followed your instructions and mobilized the grassroots personnel to take to the streets for a protest march. Currently, the authorities are under pressure and have to release the news and prepare to thoroughly investigate the matter."
The One turned his chair and thought for a moment: "It's not enough. I remember there was a group of victims in the previous mecha accident. They have not received compensation yet and they are in urgent need of a voice channel."
"You mean..."
“Find these people, send them to [the announcer], give each of them a microphone, and let them speak freely.”
"Yes!" the painter answered excitedly.
Yu Chen supported his cheek and slowly pressed his temples with his long fingers. He felt that the blood vessels that had been dead for a long time were boiling again.
He closed the meeting with a gleeful prophecy: “Perhaps this is a spark that is lighting.”
