Chapter 5
Looking at the closed metal door, thinking back to the little girl's smile, Su Ci frowned slightly.
He turned his head and looked at No. 8 who was walking towards the end of the corridor in a daze. In the end, he still followed him and came to the elevator together.
"Warning, there is a foreign object blocking the door, and it cannot be closed--"
"Warning, there is a foreign object blocking the door, and it cannot be closed--"
The elevator door opened and closed, and the control end kept sounding the alarm.
No. 8 ignored it, walked in when the elevator door opened, reached out and pressed the number for the fourth floor, and then stood in the middle of the elevator like a wooden man waiting.
Su Ci came in front of him and waved his hand in front of his eyes.
The little boy didn't even look at him, staring straight ahead, muttering, "Go back to your room to eat... Go back to your room to eat..."
The big tail, which had always been very energetic, hung quietly behind him, with the tip of the tail dragging on the ground.
Su Ci retracted his hand and turned to look at the elevator door that was opening and closing. He saw a spoon placed at the bottom of the door. The spoon had been deformed by the impact of the elevator door.
He bent down and picked up the spoon.
"Ding--"
The elevator door finally closed, taking the two people up together, and in the blink of an eye they reached the fifth floor.
As No. 8 had just said, in the corridor, 4586 was so anxious that he was spinning in place, and the pattern on the electronic eye turned into two mosquito coils.
"Su Su!" Seeing Su Ci coming out of the elevator, it finally stopped and called him dizzy.
This robot is probably really not very smart. The elevator is broken and it doesn't know how to take the stairs.
Su Ci nodded, and No. 8, who had just laughed at 4586, walked straight past it and stupidly walked towards the room with the number "8" written on the door.
"Ding - detected a lone cub, immediately open room 503 of the nursery for shelter."
When No. 8 arrived at the door of the room, the screen on the door automatically lit up, and then the metal door opened. After the boy walked in, it automatically closed again.
Su Ci also came to the door to verify the information.
After the door opened, he looked into the room and saw No. 8 sitting obediently on a chair, and his dinner had been placed in the middle of the table by 4586.
His eyes were still blank, but his hands were very agile. He held the lid of the lunch box, opened it, and then went straight over and took a bite of the jelly.
The jelly covered half of No. 8's face.
He was still unconscious, chewing and swallowing the food in his mouth. Slowly, his tail, which had been hanging quietly on the ground, began to sway gently.
Under Su Ci's gaze, the boy's eyes, which had lost focus, gradually regained their agility.
No. 8 blinked, grabbed the food with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth, while looking around blankly, from wolfing down to gradually slowing down.
Huh? Why does it feel a little familiar?
Wait...isn't this his room? When did he come back?
Number Eight finally regained consciousness.
After realizing that he had returned to the room without noticing, he looked towards the door and saw the new keeper standing at the doorway, looking at him.
There was a hint of inquiry in those beautiful black eyes, as if he was watching something new. The red plastic flower on the black clip on the side of his hair was particularly eye-catching.
"You..."
Number Eight widened his eyes, and then took action the next moment.
His movements were so fast that he had already rushed to the door in a flash. In just one more second, he would be able to knock Su Ci down and rush out of the corridor.
However, at this critical moment, Su Ci took a step back slightly.
"Bang--"
The metal door closed silently, and No. 8's head hit the door again, making a painful muffled sound.
After calming down a little -
"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!"
The sound of No. 8 banging on the door came from inside the door, "Let the young master out! I want to go out! You guys open the door for me!"
Along with No. 8's yelling, Su Ci also felt a strong mental fluctuation, conveying the young boy's anger and violent emotions.
These emotions gathered together, all expressing one message: When the young master goes out, you're dead!
Su Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, and at this time, 4586 finally returned to normal and flew to Su Ci's side.
"Great, Baba is back in the room."
The pattern on the nanny robot's electronic eyes turned into the shape of smiling eyes.
Su Ci nodded and looked at the number on Room 503. The cute little face of Number 5 flashed through his mind.
Word spirit? Mind control?
While he was thinking, as Number 8 continued to bang on the door, the electronic screen on the door lit up again.
[Beep - Cub No. 8 is detected to be emotionally agitated and may go berserk at any time. Tranquilizer No. JH05493 will be released to calm him down and the monitoring data will be recorded.]
[Tranquilizer released, timer starts...]
[Cub No. 8 has been released from the edge of berserk state, it took 3 minutes and 54 seconds, the sedative is effective.]
Su Ci looked at the lines of text appearing on the electronic screen, and he could really feel that the violent mental power fluctuations were gradually weakening, and the noise of banging on the door in the room also became smaller.
Finally, Cub No. 8 was completely quiet.
"It seems that Baba has calmed down."
The voice of 4586 sounded, and Su Ci turned his head to look at it, only to see the nanny robot stretch out its mechanical arm and click on the electronic screen.
As it operated, a headshot of No. 8 appeared on the screen. He
had black-gray hair and green eyes. He looked more childish and thinner than he does now, but the smile on the boy's face was particularly bright and brilliant, and his green eyes sparkled.
It was hard to imagine that the violent boy who was banging on the wall in the room had ever had such a smile.
Below was his file data, showing various values of his body, with the word "normal" written in green font at the end.
4586 quickly browsed all the data and finally said, "Su Su, Ba Ba's physical values have stabilized, everything is fine."
The nanny robot closed the interface and said to Su Ci, "We can go now. I'll take you to the breeder dormitory."
After that, it flew towards the elevator, but Su Ci did not follow.
He looked at the closed door of Room 503, sensing the weak mental power fluctuations, and his calm black eyes seemed to have a little more sharpness.
Finally, he stepped forward and stood in front of the metal door to verify the information.
[Ding - identity verification passed]
[Hello, trainee keeper Su Ci, although cub No. 8 is in a stable mood, sedative JHF05493 has just been released in the room. It is not recommended to open it unless it is an emergency]
[Do you want to open Room 503 of the nursery urgently? ]
[Note: The activation record will be sent to the supervisor, please choose carefully]
Upon seeing this, 4586 hurriedly stopped him: "Su Su, there are still sedative residues in the room. According to regulations, you cannot enter at this time..."
However, before it could finish speaking, Su Ci had already clicked to confirm.
Obviously, although he was an apprentice keeper, as the only living person in the brooding house besides the cubs, his authority in the brooding house was not low, so after he confirmed it, the tightly closed metal door slowly opened.
A very strong and pungent smell came out with the opening of the door, which should be the smell of sedative.
Su Ci frowned, but was not affected.
Room 503, where the sedative had just been sprayed, had no lights on. It was pitch black and silent.
Su Ci took a step forward.
As the induction lights on the ceiling lit up, a young figure appeared in front of him under the cold white light - No. 8, who was forcibly "calmed down", was paralyzed on the floor, and his small body fell at his feet.
The child who had just looked violent and crazy, now collapsed on the floor like mud, his limbs were limp and powerless, and the beast ears and tail on his body disappeared.
At this moment, he looked like an ordinary human child, young, fragile, and in need of protection.
Su Ci pursed his lips slightly, he squatted down, bent over to pick up the child, put him on the bed, and gently pulled the quilt over his chest.
No. 8 allowed Su Ci to move without any resistance, and looked dying. His little face was pale, and his forehead was bruised and swollen, which should be left by the collision with the door just now.
"Do you have any medicine?"
Su Ci turned around and looked at 4586.
It was standing at the door and looking at him. It was an expressionless puppet, but it looked hesitant and a little uneasy.
Hearing his question, 4586 responded quickly, and then took out a bottle of medical spray from its round body, then stretched out its mechanical arm, and with a whoosh, it sent the bottle of spray in front of Su Ci.
After Su Ci took it, its mechanical arm retracted again.
From beginning to end, it did not enter the room.
Su Ci took the medical spray, recalled Xun Xiaoyu's method of use, and sprayed it on the child's forehead. The spray worked well, and the swelling looked less right after it was applied.
After wiping off the jelly on No. 8's face, Su Ci stood up and prepared to leave when he saw that the child's condition had stabilized. However, he stopped after taking a step.
Su Ci looked down and saw that the child's hand had stretched out from the quilt at some point, and was now tightly grasping the hem of his clothes, with his fingertips pinched until they turned
white. His eyes moved slightly and he looked at No. 8.
The child opened his eyes with difficulty and just looked at him. There was an unspeakable stubbornness and...deep hatred flashing in his emerald eyes.
If he had the power at this moment, he would definitely attack Su Ci without mercy.
Su Ci did not move. The two of them, one standing and the other lying, just looked at each other. After a long time, the child's fingers gradually lost strength and fell to the side of the bed again. Watching
the child close his eyes again, Su Ci bent down and pulled up his weak little hand and stuffed it back into the quilt. Finally, his thin white palm fell on the top of No. 8's head and touched it gently.
"Go to sleep, I'll see you tomorrow."
After that, Su Ci did not stay any longer. He walked straight out of the room and walked towards the elevator past 4586.
4586 looked at him, then at the room that had been closed again, the robot grasped its chest helplessly, and finally it sped up, flying behind Su Ci into the elevator. The
black-haired young man stood upright in the elevator, looking straight ahead. His expression clearly did not change, but he exuded a bit of coldness for no reason.
The nanny robot seemed to have sensed something, but also seemed to have noticed nothing. It looked at Su Ci, and asked in a cute mechanical voice: "Su Su, are you affected by the sedative?"
Su Ci looked at it, "What is the sedative?" "
The sedative was developed by the base, specifically to deal with cubs going crazy. Because of its strong effect, it cannot be injected directly and can only be inhaled through the mouth and nose, so it is generally only used in the cub room."
4586 explained.
Because of inhalation through the mouth and nose, sedatives take a long time to work.
If used in other places in the brooding house, the cubs can quickly escape after noticing something is wrong, but the spilled sedatives will greatly affect the keepers and the capture operations of the action department.
So although sedatives are effective and have little side effects on the body, they have strong limitations.
Su Ci listened to its explanation and did not comment.
4586 tilted its head and looked at him carefully. He really didn't look affected. Finally, it asked a somewhat humane question.
"Su Su, are you angry?"
"No."
I'm just in a bad mood.
Su Ci looked at the elevator door that closed and stopped moving, and asked, "What are we going to do next? You just said the breeder dormitory?"
The dormitory is where the breeders live.
So after returning to the dormitory, can he do his own things?
