Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1042 744: Newborn

The doctor activated a mechanism, and the ground portion of the clinic descended, slowly sinking underground.

Here was almost unchanged from before,

Li Zheng followed the doctor along the same path he had walked before.

"In these two months, there's been no progress at all. Just as they were when you left, these patients are the same."

When they reached the door of Kota's mother's ward, the doctor reminded him: "Oh, remember to pay the medical bills. The longer you delay, the higher the medical bills. They've increased by two hundred Red Crystal Coins. Make sure to inform your subordinates."

Such medical expenses were nothing to Li Zheng and he had no intention of paying for Kota and the others. This was a family matter for Kota; if the three brothers really couldn't gather enough, they would come to him.

Before that, he hoped Kota and the others would strive to pay off the debt themselves.

Li Zheng was their boss, not a nanny, and certainly not a charity; Kota and others' contributions were not enough to make Li Zheng pay this money voluntarily.

"I'll tell them." Li Zheng didn't glance over, he didn't hear any movement from inside the ward, which meant Kota's mother still hadn't 'awoken'.

Soon, the doctor led them to Kuimi's ward, where he stopped and said: "I know you really want to see her, but don't tell Yakumo and Yelan about it. They have strong bias against you. If they find out you've seen Kuimi, impulsive as Yakumo is, he'll inevitably cause trouble."

Li Zheng looked at the doctor unexpectedly, surprised that this synthetic human was more humane than the doctor's true self: "Thanks, could you help open the door for me to see up close?"

Across a metal door, Li Zheng worried that the results of his upcoming investigation might be distorted.

"No."

The doctor refused him, shaking his head: "The Night Rabbit Race has a very sharp sense of smell. If your scent is only outside, I can find an excuse to cover for you. If it appears in the ward and is discovered by Yakumo, she will surely cause trouble."

Sensitive sense of smell…

Li Zheng secretly quipped, does the Night Rabbit Race have a dog's nose?

But with so many races differing, every race with some odd ability, he was used to it.

Compared to the Thousand-Eyed Race's peculiar ability, the Night Rabbit Race's sharp sense of smell seemed quite normal.

He didn't want to put the doctor in a difficult position, since he couldn't enter, he had to investigate from outside the door.

Spiritual Power extended, penetrating the door and wall directly into Kuimi's brain. As expected, Li Zheng encountered no mental defense obstruction, and Kuimi's mind was empty and void, without even the presence of the Spiritual Realm.

"The disappearance of the Spiritual Realm, was it completely deprived by the Celestial Will Organization or destroyed when depriving the Spiritual Body?" Li Zheng frowned.

Soul Loss is more severe than he initially imagined. If the Spiritual Body was merely forcibly scattered, he could still think of ways to regroup it.

But now even the Spiritual Realm and Spiritual Body were nonexistent, with no target to regroup.

As the saying goes, a skillful wife can't cook without rice, Li Zheng felt somewhat helpless.

"If we find the person who deprived Kuimi's Spiritual Body, could we recover her and reposition it back into her mind?"

But among so many people in the Wilderness, the number joining the Celestial Will Organization is unknown, where could Li Zheng find the one who took Kuimi?

The other side left no clues, finding them would be like looking for a needle in a haystack!

"Is there really no other way?" Li Zheng withdrew his Spiritual Power, rubbed his brow forcefully, suddenly recalling that the doctor still had many patients who had initially awakened after treatment.

"Since the Spiritual Realm and Spiritual Body have disappeared, how did those people awaken?" He muttered softly, turning toward another ward door, which housed a patient who had awakened but behaved completely like an infant.

Li Zheng observed carefully, confirming his Spiritual Power wouldn't cause harm to the other before cautiously releasing Spiritual Power to contact the patient's mind.

"Huh?"

Upon entering the other's mind, although only with very slight obstruction, Li Zheng still felt it, his heart stirred: "This is Mental Defense!"

Moreover, it seemed just formed, not yet developed mental defense.

Li Zheng explored deeper into the mind, still finding no Spiritual Realm presence, but within he discovered a tiny figure formed with weak Spiritual Power!

"This is..."

Li Zheng observed for a moment, shocked to find the spiritual figure was actually a newborn!

He withdrew his Spiritual Power and asked the doctor: "What treatments were used on these awakened patients?"

The doctor heard he discovered something, responding: "Many. I have used devices to stimulate their brains, accelerating brain cortex discharge frequency, and fed them many drugs I developed."

Li Zheng asked: "Which treatment plan was used before these patients last awoke?"

"PC-745514 drug, PC-745515 drug, PC-697784 drug, and device stimulation of the cerebral cortex; both simultaneously." The doctor listed.

Three types of drugs?

Li Zheng was slightly stunned, then asked: "Can I have a look at those three models of new drugs?"

"Sure." The doctor didn't refuse, just looking wouldn't worry him he could analyze and replicate the complete formula?

He took out three different types of new drugs: pill form PC-745514; capsule form PC-745515; and granular form PC-697784.

The only commonality among these three new drugs was they all emitted the same fragrance.

Li Zheng stared intently and silently let Prelis' Eye help analyze components, focusing only on overlapping ones.

Minutes later, the old Prelles Eye successfully analyzed, providing results: [Three components completely overlapped, one from grass growing in the Fourth Sin Domain, and two never seen before, unable to identify corresponding components.]

Grass in the Fourth Sin Domain?

Li Zheng was utterly stunned, recalling when he went to the Fourth Sin Domain he indeed saw some wild-clay grass growing, extremely rare, difficult to find even a tuft.

But at the time, old Prelles didn't propose grass was useful, so he hadn't thought much of it.

Now he realizes that stuff can actually be used in medicine!

"Demon Pattern Tree in the First Sin Domain, grass in the Fourth Sin Domain, these things have wondrous effects." Li Zheng's eyes flickered, contemplating: "Sin Domain often reveals some bizarre material variants, what's really happening?"

Why does anything, however insignificant in the Sin Domain, have mysterious effects?

Could the other two overlapping materials in the new drugs also come from some Sin Domain?
