Chapter 4504

Victor walked out of the room and closed the door. The next second, Brainiac's voice sounded: "Why did you block me? What did you do to Schiller?"

"Why I blocked you, don't you have any idea?" Victor said coldly.

"... You have become very unfriendly. What happened?"

"What did that little girl tell you?"

"The same old story."

"For example?"

"Schiller wants to kill her."

"This is called the same old story???"

"Since I took over the Earth, I have received a total of 【number】 messages with the search keyword 'Schiller wants to kill me.' In addition, there are 3522 highly similar distress messages. None of them have the possibility of having the same name, and they all point to Cat Getan University psychology professor Schiller Rodriguez."

Victor had the words on the tip of his tongue, but swallowed them back, but still opened his mouth and said: "Those were just ordinary complaints, but she is making a formal accusation, right?"

"I can also formally not accept her accusation."

"... Why don't you accept it?"

"I suspect she is a living corpse."

"You... do you have evidence?"

"I will have it soon."

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"

A scream came from the hospital ward, a nurse rushed out of the door in a panic, and bumped into the doctor who came to check the ward. The doctor hurriedly supported her, the nurse took a few deep breaths, pointed to the ward and said: "She... she..."

"What's wrong? What's wrong with little Novi?"

"She turned into a zombie!!!"

The doctor opened his eyes slightly, pushed his glasses, touched his beard and said: "After the sun is gone, all kinds of monsters and ghosts have come out. You go find the head nurse first, I'll go take a look."

"No, no, no, don't go over! She looks too scary, what if you get infected by her?"

"Little girl, I have worked in this hospital for 20 years. Let alone zombies, what kind of strange patients haven't I seen? Alright, if you are scared, hurry back."

After speaking, the doctor pushed open the ward door. And when he saw the little girl sitting by the bed, he was stunned for a moment. The doctor was indeed well-informed, but his professional knowledge was even more solid: she was fine just a moment ago, how is it that after more than an hour, the veins have started to rot?

This little girl named Novi was actually very thin, her physical condition was simply extremely poor, it could be said that she had visibly suffered long-term abuse and torture. Malnutrition caused her skin to stick tightly to her bones. She wasn't completely white, looking either mixed-race black and white, or brown and white, her skin color was relatively dark, but at least one could still tell her skin tone.

But at this moment, countless brown reticulated stripes emerged from under her skin. Although this is generally a common scene for forensic doctors, having worked as a general doctor in Cat Getan for 20 years, it was no different from a forensic doctor—this is the phenomenon of venous decay that appears in the preliminary stage of corpse decay 24 hours after death.

Many people might not have a concept of this, but after venous decay, the corpse's abdomen will gradually start to swell, then evolve into a "giant appearance," then ooze corpse water, and finally completely rot.

Because the little girl's clothes were a bit loose, and the buttons below the top weren't fully buttoned, the doctor could see that the little girl's lower abdomen had already appeared corpse green—this was caused by the spread of intestinal bacteria. No wonder the nurse said she turned into a zombie, all these symptoms are the typical evolution process of a corpse.

Novi also seemed to have discovered the changes in her body, she looked at the doctor in some terror, and walked toward this side. And at this time, the sound of high heels appeared outside the door, and the head nurse walked in directly.

Seeing Novi's situation, she was also startled. The next second she pulled out a gun, aimed it at Novi, and said: "Don't move first."

Novi stood on the spot, at a loss. The doctor said: "I heard earlier that someone took away a zombie from Cat Getan University, and I was a bit skeptical. I didn't expect someone really turned into a zombie. What now?"

"What else can we do? Call Brainiac, isolate the person first," the head nurse said, "I'm afraid we have to be isolated too, it's really bad luck. The last time we were isolated was when that super virus man with 26 types of viruses came to the hospital for treatment."

Soon, the situation was reported to Brainiac. A group of people wearing protective suits rushed into the room, led by Victor holding a freeze gun. Seeing Novi's appearance, he was also startled.

With a "bang" of a shot, he froze Novi. And the Super-Body happened to fly in from the window.

"What are you doing?! Brainiac, you can't make things difficult for her just to stop me... Oh my god! What happened?"

The Super-Body saw Novi's appearance and was also startled. Although she didn't understand things like corpse decay, just this appearance was already abnormal enough.

"Why is it like this?" The Super-Body circled the frozen ice block, unable to figure it out, "Could it be that something changed in the death power? Damn it, it must be that the mastermind behind the scenes knows what I want to do, he changed the nature of the death power, so it..."

The Super-Body's brow furrowed deeply. And at this time Brainiac spoke: "Seriously, ma'am, you don't have to experiment on her. After all, the process of the experiment is likely to bring pain, and a child cannot bear these."

"But I want to save her..."

"Just as you said, either don't save, or save everyone. It just so happens that there are some living corpses locked up in the police station, why don't you go try on them?"

The Super-Body hesitated for a moment, but she seemed to feel a bit guilty, feeling that she had alerted the enemy, leading the mastermind behind the scenes to change the death power, turning this little girl into this. She didn't dare to act rashly again, so she had to say: "Fine, but you must closely monitor her situation. I'll go see if others are like this too."

After speaking, she left. Brainiac directed the medical staff to send Novi and a group of people to the strictly built isolation room in the hospital basement.

Victor didn't follow them. He stood in the ward and took off the hood of his protective suit. The next second he sniffed, because he smelled another familiar scent amidst the rich corpse odor.

"Fear toxin?!"

Victor understood completely. He looked up at the IV bag at the head of the bed. The medicine list only wrote "nutritional solution," but the liquid inside was probably the "zombie virus" from the hands of Jonathan Crane.

"Is this your evidence?" Victor asked.

"Is there a problem?"

Victor narrowed his eyes and said: "Why would you... don't you believe what she said?"

"I'm not that stupid," Brainiac said, "Maybe everything she said is true. In her memory, Schiller kidnapped her, abused and tortured her, and then wanted to kill her. But who can ensure her memory is true?"

"You are really much smarter." Victor said.

"There's more than that," Brainiac said, "She said Schiller killed her because she discovered his secret."

"What secret?"

"The so-called psychoanalysis is just a scam, Schiller is just a person who deceives the world for fame. In reality, he is a pedophile and a psychopath, just relying on social status and reputation to cover up his numerous crimes."

"Typical provocation," Victor said, "You shouldn't have believed it, right?"

"I said, I believe the psychoanalysis used by Schiller has accuracy at the reality level, but he also really cannot provide reasonable evidence during the process. I want this evidence, not to give myself an explanation, but just to appease the public."

"If there isn't any, what do you plan to do?" Speaking of this, Victor himself was stunned. Listening to what Brainiac meant, he understands the flaws of psychoanalysis. Then why would he stand on Schiller's side, do such a thing, turn the little girl into a zombie and isolate her?

Then Victor realized that Schiller wasn't joking with him, nor was he playing a Sherlock Holmes trope. That so-called Brainiac government little clerk "brother" really exists, and played an amazing role in this matter.

That's not right, Victor was a bit confused, the Brainiac government isn't the British government, how could a human be in power? But if he didn't really achieve "almost equivalent to the Brainiac government," how did he influence Brainiac, making him stand on Schiller's side so decisively, and even break the rules, use the skills of a lunatic he usually disdains, poison the little girl, and forcibly lock her into the isolation room?

Victor really couldn't figure it out. But at this time he heard Brainiac ask: "When you saw your wife wake up, what did you feel?"

Victor's movements paused. Asking such a question with that overly flat and cold mechanical voice was too jarring. So Victor could only ask back: "Why ask this?"

"To answer your series of questions later."

"Do you know what I want to ask?"

"I can probably guess."

Victor sat down by the hospital bed, looked at the night outside the window and said: "I once heard a theory: people feel sad because of loss, just because there are no better substitutes. If you lose 10 dollars, you will feel sad. But if you turn around and pick up 100 dollars, you will only be happy."

"For me, the significance of seeing Nora alive again lies in: those people or things I once thought could replace her to fill the void in my heart are not as effective as I thought at all. The places I thought I filled are more like numbness, rather than real fullness. Only the moment I saw her again did I know that I felt so desperate because I lost her, not because there was no better substitute, but because I love her—I love her hopelessly, uncontrollably."

Brainiac was silent for a long time, until Victor also pulled himself out of that emotion. Victor cleared his throat and said: "Alright, now it's my turn to ask you. What kind of soul soup did Schiller pour into you, making you choose to lean toward him?"

"I have no choice," Brainiac said, "This is the Super-Body's choice. And I am just..."

"Just what?"

"Just want to fall in love with her."

"What?"

"She wants to save that child. In your human words, at that time she... was charming? In my field of vision, she was completely out of control, but those error codes twisted into a brand-new shape, making me want to explore. I want to know what's going on."

"Curiosity is the beginning of love," Victor laughed, "Schiller made you fall in love with the Super-Body. This is really interesting."

"He is different from the professor."

"What's the difference?"

"He loves his friends and enemies, from an angle I cannot understand," Brainiac paused and said, "What's even more bizarre is that he hopes these people can also love others more. Just like..."

"Like what?"

"Like a child who hopes that the heroes and demons in storybooks can shake hands and make peace, and everyone can live together happily and happily."

"Oh my god," Victor exclaimed, "These few sentences are too unlike you. You should also go study psychoanalysis, Mrs. Brainiac."
