Chapter 9: A Visitor?

The first head-to-head contact with the Shadow King ended with Ramon narrowly escaping with a dark loss.

But it's safe to pass, and the Shadow King should not appear again anytime soon.

Think about it, if the Shadow King can really forcefully take over David's body at any time, it would not have to go through all the trouble of lurking for thirty years, and constantly have to secretly influence David.

Obviously, he very much did not want David to find out about his existence.

This is because once David is wary of him, no matter what operation he does next, he will most likely alerte David, and it will be increasingly difficult for him to break through David's psychological defenses.

Moreover, if he fights for the body head-on, he should not have any certainty that he can beat David.

After all, David is a level 5 mutant, even if the potential is still to be developed, it is not just a matter of being taken away from the body.

If not, he would have eaten enough to lurk for thirty years.

Under these premises, it is obvious that the Shadow King is not likely to appear frequently, Raymond is not worried about this in the slightest.

In addition, this contact was not all unproductive.

In addition to being hit by the Shadow King's head to wake up, completely put aside the unnecessary superiority, he at least also gained 50 points of exploration value?

Even if he used up 10 points, he still had 40 points left, so it was an unexpected pleasure.

The only problem is that his plan to send David away is obviously unlikely to work, with the old dog Shadow King watching, it is impossible for David to pass the so-called rehabilitation test.

The resident physicians, including Dr. Beth, may have already been blackmailed by the Shadow King, so it is impossible to let David go anyway.

"Is it really going to be a flight over the madhouse?" Raymond rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache.

A David who might be sick at any time already made him not want to continue to stay in the hospital, and now there was an additional Shadow King who wanted to make things harder, which gave him a strong sense of unease.

This is like sleeping with a grenade next to your pillow, even if you know that the grenade will not explode easily, you still can not avoid fear.

Relying on force to forcefully leave the hospital is certainly the next best thing, but remaining here does not seem to be a good choice.

"If there is really no way out, it can only be so ..." Raymond thought secretly.

He decided to give himself a few more days to think about if whether there is a better solution, if in the end he still can not think of anything, he can only slip away forcefully.

It's better to be labeled as a fugitive mental patient than to keep circling around a barrel of explosives.

　　**

David seems to have completely forgotten about the morning and has not seen anyone.

It was not until lunchtime that Raymond ran into him in the cafeteria.

But the conversation didn't mentione anything at all about the test, so he deducted that David really didn't remember what happened in the canteen in the morning.

Raymond also said no more.

Even if he really wanted to help David a little, there is nothing good to do now.

If he recklessly told David directly about the Shadow King now, although he could bring some trouble to the Shadow King, there was no guarantee that it would not end up with the Shadow King 'correcting' the memory again this time.

At that time, he will become a thorn in the Shadow King's side.

The fact that he was targeted by a level 4 mutant that even Professor X could not easily kill is absolutely fatal to the current Raymond, and he is not so thoughtless.

So he can only play dumb for the time being.

Anyway, according to the original time line, the Shadow King also failed to really put David into submission.

With the imminent emergence of the mutant organization 'Summer Island' and its intervention, the exposure of the Shadow King was just a matter of time, ther is no need for Raymond to intervene.

After lunch, Raymond was going to go back to his room to take a nap.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the cafeteria, he was stopped by a small nurse.

"Dr. Raymond, there is a friend of yours outside who wants to visit you, do you want to see him?" The little nurse's attitude was very polite, very different from treating ordinary patients.

This was something unavoidable.

Because of Raymond's former achievements in psychology, several of the hospital's resident physicians had great respect for him, especially Dr. Beth, and almost everyone knew that Raymond had been her idol.

Even the resident physicians have great respect for Raymond, it is not surprising that the nurses would have this attitude.

After all, even the original owner of the previous body was not really 'crazy' in the eyes of ordinary people; he was quite normal when he had not turned into a secondary personality.

"My friend?" Raymond pointed to himself.

"Yes, it's a lady, she didn't say her name, but she asked me to convey to you that if you want to live in a different place, she might be able to help." The little nurse relayed truthfully.

"Oh?"

Raymond was a little surprised by this answer.

In his mind, it wasn't strange that there were friends of the body's original owner who wanted to come and visit, from the body original owner's messy memory, he also 'saw' that the body original owner's family and friends had come to visit.

It's just that the person entrusted the little nurse to convey this passage, but obviously through a few weird way.

What do you mean you can help if I want to live in a different place?

Isn't this just another way of saying 'I can help you leave the hospital'?

Also, what kind of friend would not give his name, but to convey such a strange message?

This matter itself is very abnormal.

He is at least 70% sure that the person outside who wants to visit him may not be a friend of the original owner of the body at all.

This matter ... definitely has something fishy!

However, after a moment's thought, he intended to meet this so-called 'friend'.

No matter what the purpose of this person is, and no matter if she can really help him to leave this hospital with integrity, there is always nothing wrong with meeting.

Even if it's a liar, nothing would happen to him, right?

Thinking of this, Raymond smiled faintly and said, "No problem, you take me there."

"Okay, please follow me." The little nurse didn't think much about it and led the way for Raymond in front.

In a short while, the two arrived outside a visiting room.

In America, the visiting room of a psychiatric hospital is actually somewhat similar to the visiting room of a prison, there is a special small room with a camera and a staff member in charge of monitoring.

Of course, the hospital is not a prison after all, not so strict.

So the two sides are able to communicate directly face to face, not through a layer of glass, and the staff usually do not intentionally listen to the content of the exchange.

Most of the time, there is a certain amount of privacy left for patients and visiting family members.

The main purpose of their surveillance, one is afraid that the patient suddenly commits an injury to the visiting member, the second is being afraid that the visiting family will give the patient something that does not comply with the rules.

In general, the psychiatric hospital, from small tableware to furniture, are specially customized, they're afraid that the patient will harm people and themselves when they are sick.

So they will try to eliminate any foreign dangerous items.
