Chapter 48: Schizo Disease (Part 2/2)

Regardless of the thoughts of the two youngsters, Luo Shuqing and her husband, the intellectual Mo Haihang who possessed a doctorate, both appeared to be exhilarated by the idea of the health pod. After lunch, they brought the two youngsters to a side building of the sanatorium.

Although Luo Nan and Mo Peng appeared to have surrendered on the surface, they were actually planning something in private. If the time comes when their parents would be sold on this product, they would firmly opposite it. They would absolutely prevent their parents from being swayed.

The so-called “Health Pod” was located in a place that had a similar setup to the main building. There were individual rooms with special nursing personnel in each one. It was like a napping place, but rather like a high-standard Spa…… As long as human resources were involved in this day and age, the seller could have as high as an asking price as he wished.

Mo Peng’s eyes lit up when he saw the sweet smile of a young nurse. The problem of this being a con was long forgotten. He was practically itching to go inside and give it a try.

Luo Shuqing had booked four rooms in advance that were next to each other. They each selected one to enter. Luo Nan and Mo Peng room’s were to the edge, and Luo Nan range of senses just so happened to cover the room next door. He heard that fellow ask bashfully:

“Do I need to take off my clothes?”

“......”

Luo Nan was disinclined to pay attention to the other room. Right now in his room, a pretty nurse was performing part of the service. She was explaining the various benefits and basic operations of the health pod.

Luo Nan just took her words to be a commercial. They went in one ear and out the other. Surprisingly he was quite interested in the health pod itself instead.

Perhaps it was an impression left by a particular experience that Luo Nan felt something special about sustainment pods and the like. This didn’t mean he felt fondness or hate towards it, but rather he had a feeling of vagueness that stemmed deep in his memories.

The health pod was displayed in front of him and, like being implanted with a suggestion from a hypnotist, it was as if he had dived into the turbid murky waters of the deepest depths of his memories. This sort of feeling was very complicated, very chaotic. But Luo Nan didn’t dislike it at all.1

It’s true!

Luo Nan followed the nurse’s instructions and entered the pod. The cover closed and gentle music began to play with a faint flowery scent that seemed to blend into the background.

Everything operated as normal as time progressed. The cover was made of a special material that turned from translucent to opaque, slowly blocking off light from the outside world.

Luo Nan closed his eyes, thinking that it was quite pleasant to take a noon nap in this manner. But then seven, eight seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes:

Something’s wrong! There’s something wrong with this smell!

Luo Nan pressed the open button inside the pod by reflex and at the same time came a muffled sound. Someone was knocking against the health pod’s panel.

The cover turned back from being opaque to being translucent. Luo Nan’s reactions had been quick. When the lid flipped open, the person outside went, “Ah!” from nearly getting his arm pinched.

Luo Nan sat up abruptly. The heavily chained crow was humming with earnest on the mental plane, the place where his greatest strength lay.

Anyway, he met face to face with the person outside the pod right at this moment.

The pretty nurse was long gone. The person standing outside the pod was a young doctor wearing a white gown. He wore glasses and looked rather scholarly. He would give people a better impression if he spoke fewer words.

“Are kids these days all this impatient?”

The young doctor stretched by habit and then sighed. He took out a proper and strict attitude: “Student Luo Nan. I am your attending doctor. Zhang Yuliang 2.

Luo Nan’s gaze began as a cold stare, but gradually he felt that the appearance of this young doctor faking being serious matched with a certain someone in his memories. He couldn’t quite grasp who it was for a while. It was only until the doctor finished introducing himself and when Luo Nan saw the nametag on the doctor’s chest did Luo Nan probe out with a conclusion.

“You’re…… Brother Octopus?”

“Cough. I’m Zhang Yuliang. The Yuliang that means shining splendor. “

The more the young doctor talked, the more certain Luo Nan became. Luo Nan hushed himself and relaxed, but he couldn’t help wanting to laugh.
