Meng Qing shook his head: “I was going to leave anyway.” Although it was a cranial surgery, the wound was small, and now except for a slight dizziness when shaking his head, he had no other sensations.
Left Hand coldly said: “I won’t stop you if you want to die.”
He threw him two boxes of medicine, “Take two red pills a day for five days. Take one blue pill a day for two days.”
Meng Qing looked at the instructions on the red box and twisted his mouth: “It’s not one pill a day, and you can’t take more than five consecutively?”
“Didn’t you see the ‘follow medical advice’ part? If you take medicine according to the instructions, why would you need a doctor?”
Meng Qing laughed: “Yes, Dr. Left.”
After Left Hand left, Meng Qing opened his terminal and saw a reply from Lin Bai: She’s still under investigation and might take a few days before trial. I’m having dinner with the trial court friends tonight. I’ll ask about when her case will be tried, who the presiding judge, lawyer, and jury are.
Meng Qing typed: Take me to a place first, s20376, i9380, e3903, ln, 78.52°n, 12.07°w.
Lin Bai quickly replied: You’re going to travel right after surgery? Aren’t you afraid your brain will leak out?
Meng Qing: I like this dark joke.
Lin Bai: Going now? Wait ten minutes. Your chip has been removed. I need to locate your exact position first.
While waiting for Lin Bai, Meng Qing got out of bed and walked slowly around the room, moving his limbs. He didn’t feel anything unusual. Then he tried punching and kicking, finding that intense movements caused dizziness, but after taking a few deep breaths, he recovered.
Soon a light vibration came from his arm, and he pressed to confirm.
The next moment, he was on a cold, desolate street, with light snow falling from a lead-gray sky. He was looking down at his terminal and was about to look up when everything went black. A strong sense of vertigo hit him, making him lose perception of his surroundings. He instinctively spread his arms to prevent falling.
Fortunately, this lasted only an instant. He quickly steadied himself, slowly opening his eyes. Although the dizziness persisted and his vision was blurry, he didn’t pass out.
