Chapter 93: Chapter 75 Special Ward
“That’s easy.”
Zhou Yuan pulled out five chocolates from his pocket. He had obtained them through a mix of coaxing and trickery from other patients during al tis.
“Good boy, you really know how to show respect to an old man!”
Dong Jie was overjoyed, quickly stuffing the chocolates into his pocket to avoid being seen by the dical staff.
“Co find
tomorrow morning during break ti. I’ll tell you where to find the director!”
“Can’t you tell
now?”
Dong Jie shook his head, “I need to contact the director first. Hmm… Considering your thoughtfulness, you can ask
one more question.”
Zhou Yuan thought for a mont, “I’ll continue asking about Qin Youwen. This should still count as the first question, right?”
“Yes.”
“What rule did Qin Youwen break?”
“He tried to sneak into the director’s office but got caught red-handed by the director.
The director is actually very magnanimous. If Qin Youwen had just admitted his mistake with a better attitude, the director would have let him off. But instead, he attacked the director, who couldn’t tolerate it and locked him in the deepest part of the special ward.”
ntioning that place, Dong Jie’s expression changed slightly, as if recalling sothing terrifying, “That place is Hell.”
“Hell?” Zhou Yuan didn’t understand.
Dong Jie looked around, lowered his voice and said, “The special ward is where incurable patients are kept. Normal treatnt thods don’t work on them, so the director allows doctors to perform those forbidden surgeries on them…
Have you heard of prefrontal lobotomy?”
Zhou Yuan nodded, “I’ve heard of it.”
Prefrontal lobotomy was a neurosurgical procedure that once won a Nobel Prize in dicine and was widely used to treat ntal illness patients.
But it’s actually a highly inhumane surgery. The prefrontal cortex is the most advanced associative cortex, closely related to attention, perception, working mory, emotional control, and executive functions.
Once damaged, a person becos a soulless, emotionless “machine,” with vacant eyes and an expressionless face. No matter how you stimulate him, he won’t show any emotional response, akin to a walking corpse.
Moreover, this damage is irreversible, aning once the surgery starts, there’s no turning back for life.
In essence, this surgery isn’t about treating ntal illness but turning a person into an unintelligent fool.
Thus, this surgery beca the biggest stain in Nobel Prize history.
Dong Jie said, “In the special ward, prefrontal lobotomy is just one of the many insignificant treatnts.
Brain in a vat, body modification, dream therapy… The level of bloodshed there far exceeds your imagination. Just a glance made
lose my appetite for three days and have nightmares for a week.”
“That scary?” Zhou Yuan raised an eyebrow, finding himself even more curious.
“In any case, if you’re thinking of finding Qin Youwen, it’s best to drop that idea. Even if you manage to sneak into the special ward, Qin Youwen has long gone mad and can’t engage in normal communication.”
That’s not necessarily true; he still had the presence of mind to send a coded ssage for help to his family… Zhou Yuan pondered for a mont and asked his second question,
“Mr. Dong, the director’s office should be the special interlayer ntioned in the rules, right? What preparations do I need to make if I want to enter?”
“Well… actually, it’s not hard.”
Dong Jie stroked his beard, “The director’s office appears at two fixed tis: 8:59 to 9:01 in the morning and 5:59 to 6:01 in the afternoon.
But you need to be careful. Only dical staff can enter the director’s office, not patients, and you must also avoid being discovered by the director.”
Zhou Yuan nodded to show he understood, thinking to himself, “8:59 to 9:01 in the morning and 5:59 to 6:01 in the afternoon. Aren’t those just the start and end of the workday?”
He then asked, “What if I accidentally get caught by the director? Would apologizing imdiately help?”
“I told you, the director is very magnanimous. As long as you have a good attitude, he will surely forgive you.
Alright, you’ve asked your second question. I’m going back to play chess. Rember to find
tomorrow morning.”
“Got it.”
Watching Dong Jie’s departing figure, Zhou Yuan asked in his mind, “Can we confirm he’s the director ntioned in the rule anomalies?”
“No.”
The second personality said helplessly, “As the source of the rule anomalies, he’s shrouded by extrely powerful abnormal Strength. I can’t see through him at all.
—Ding Zhen of Suspicion, identification failed.”
“Alright then.” Zhou Yuan didn’t press further.

Break ti ended, Zhou Yuan returned to his room and lay on the bed, browsing short videos.
“Seriously, why are you watching borderline content?”
Chen Guangxi deactivated Invisibility Technique, a small golden dragon standing on Zhou Yuan’s chest. It was quite heavy, making it a bit hard to breathe.
“It’s not ti yet. Wandering around now would be useless and might expose you to more anomalies. Better to wait until the right ti.”
Chen Guangxi thought it made so sense, so she squatted down and watched with Zhou Yuan, while making various sharp comnts,
“What kind of taste do you have? The beauty filter is so intense it’s distorting the image. What’s so good about it?”
“It’s either pencil skirts or tight clothes, swaying back and forth with no real appeal. Purely factory-line stuff.”
“This dance is weak, lacking power and beauty. Next.”
Zhou Yuan got angry, “Who’s watching, you or ?”
Chen Guangxi rolled her eyes, “It’s not my fault your taste is so poor. Log into my account, I’ll show you what’s top-notch.”
“…”
Zhou Yuan was speechless and let Chen Guangxi log into her account.
He then clicked into her favorites, which had several sections.
