Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

"Which one is David Martinez?"

"I'm."

David's eyes widened slightly, his head was raised, his mouth was slightly opened, and he looked a little lost.

"The operation was successful, but she is still in a coma and has not yet regained consciousness."

The doctor held a pure white PDA with the logo of the medical center on the back, and wrote and drew on it, "The situation is not very good, and I must be hospitalized for observation for a period of time. Do you have an ICU ward that needs to be designated?"

"IC... U?"

He didn't understand something, so he repeated it.

"In the Intensive Care Unit, the patient's physical condition is very poor, and it seems that he has been overworked for a long time. For the safety of the patient, we recommend that you choose the ICU ward. Do you have a membership card or insurance package for the medical center? "

The doctor explained again.

How can there be people who don't understand the meaning of ICU these days?

Must have been too tired from the accident.

His eyes fell on David's Arasaka Academy coat, and he found a logic in his heart.

"No."

David just shook his head slowly, "Can you choose the cheapest treatment?"

This hospital looks really advanced.

It seemed to be mentioned in the broadcast just now that this is the largest, most complete and complete medical department in All Night City.

If mom receives treatment here, she will be fine.

But if this is the case, the cost of treatment may be...

"Are you sure? The cheapest package is not perfect in terms of care, medication, and treatment plan. Here we strongly recommend you to choose our promotional package."

The doctor said with some surprise.

Well, it seems that not everyone who can afford to go to a noble academy comes from a well-to-do family.

However, I have been a doctor in the medical center for many years, and I have seen everything, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.

"Feel sorry."

David lowered his head in embarrassment.

"It's okay, even the cheapest package can be properly taken care of, but the patient's situation is on his own."

The doctor got David's affirmation, started to operate on the PDA, finished it in a short while, and then handed it to David.

"Here is your bill, please check it."

What kind of a panel is this.

The header is the logo and full name of the medical center, as well as various terms of authorization and compliance with policies and laws and regulations, and their digital official seal and certificate are at the end.

In the meantime, there are densely packed money from top to bottom.

From surgical first aid to manual services, from inspection items to operating consumables, from future ICU rentals to prepayments for leasing various equipment, to the odd expenses of various staff members and all expenses required to stay in the hospital.

Dozens of items are listed densely, ranging from a few zeros to a few dollars.

total……

184,623.50$? !

"Is there a problem, sir?"

The doctor was nearby, saw David's expression, and asked with concern.

"Is this the cheapest one?"

David picked up the PDA and looked at the doctor in confusion.

"Yes, it is already the cheapest. If you want to save money, you can only deduct it from the patient's subsequent treatment, but I don't recommend you to do this."

"Is that so...? I see."

David sighed, reached out and pressed his finger on the customer confirmation area.

A light effect sounded to confirm the information, the entire bill was stored, and a dialog box indicating that the payment was successful popped up.

"The bill has been checked and will be sent to your email at a later date. Please comment on the medical service at that time."

A mechanically synthesized female voice sounded from the PDA, obviously the same tone as the one on the radio, but it sounded a bit cold at this moment.

He did not continue to ask.

Because he just saw the discounted worry-free package recommended by the doctor, the total price is 300,000...

David looked up and sighed.

If the dilapidated hospital near my home hadn't been demolished, I'm afraid I would have chosen to transfer my mother to another hospital.

It is said that the place was demolished by the Terrorist Mobile Squad, and my mother also went there that day, and it is said that countless corpses were lifted out of it.

However, he could not refuse to be sent directly to the medical center from the accident scene to start rescue.

But at least my mother's life was saved.

David, who is studying at Arasaka Academy, knows what this means. After all, his classmates always use the best, and he sees it all.

call--

Really relieved.

Still, the burden is heavy, especially with such a hefty bill to pay.

At the thought of the bill, David's face froze.

In addition to the medical center, it seems that the family also has a lot of debts, not to mention the high compensation offered by the school.

However, forget it.

Today is bad enough, let's worry about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow.

He stood up.

"Can I see her?"

David asked the doctor who was about to leave and go on to the next thing.

"Check your email, it contains the patient's detailed information, she will be sent to the ICU later, but it is not recommended to visit her."

The doctor had already walked a little far away, and he turned his head sideways to say something, and then disappeared around the corner where people came and went.

"...Is that so?"

David muttered to himself.

The elevator was going down, surrounded by an expressionless man leaning on the glass, a white-haired man covering his face and crying, and a dizzy child who was hugged by his mother.

David's eyes are a little out of focus.

"Ding--"

The second basement floor, here we come.

He was the last one to leave the elevator, but unlike the others, what he saw was neither a sunny sky nor a grassy ground, but an empty underground hall illuminated by cold white lights.

Here, the atmosphere of sadness seems to be stronger than above.

The air is cold from the large central refrigeration equipment, which is slightly gloomy.

His mother is in these densely packed wards.

Through the narrow and seemingly endless corridor, he found the number that belonged to his mother's ward——

D138.

In this cramped space like a beehive, on a coffin-like hospital bed covered by glass on all sides, her mother's eyes were closed, her body was covered with various bandages, and she looked like a mummy wrapped up .

Only the familiar chin was exposed.

The body is full of tubes and wires, and the detection panel on the side is providing intelligent health monitoring for David, a visitor.

David turned his head and saw that on the ground nearby, there were also many such family members providing guardianship.

It's just that some of them are already sleepy, sitting on the cold ground with their knees hugged, while others packed a sleeping bag and sleep here tiredly.

As bad as it is, the situation isn't completely hopeless, is it?

Looking at those data, especially the graphs representing heartbeat and blood pressure, David let out a sigh of relief, and his eyelids could not help but drop.

"Mother……"

His hands touched the glass separated by several layers, and gently placed on his mother's body.

……

"I want to sell a basketball chip."

Carrying his mother's belongings, a package with the Medical Center logo on it, David was on his way home.

Call someone while walking.

"Are you kidding? The price is too cheap, isn't it?"

"Sell it or not, or find someone else."

A lazy and treacherous voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Forget it, when I didn't say it."

David held back his anger and hung up the phone, walked to his door, and then cursed severely.

"damn it!"

But just after scolding, something seemed to attract his attention.

A red holographic projection appeared in front of the gate of his house.

【Access Denied】

【RENT PAST DUE】

"What the hell is this!"

David was already exhausted. Seeing this scene, he felt angry and kicked the door with a "bang", attracting the attention of the neighbors around him.

But they quickly turned their attention back to themselves.

It's time to get drunk like a dream, it's time to get dizzy and continue to take a pill for yourself, and it's time to indulge in virtual sensuality and continue to giggle.

A moment later, a voice suddenly appeared in the ventilation duct of the bathroom.

Not a rat, but something bigger.

"Bang-"

Gritting his teeth and bending his body at an awkward angle, David struggled to push open the exit grille, then dropped the package first, and then climbed out.

"Ouch, grass!"

There was a sound of rattling, he lost his balance directly from above, rolled down, fell down and lay down next to the washing machine, knocked over a pile of bottles and cans, and his buttocks were in the air.

Hush

Finally came back.

Back in this familiar nest, David breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking a sloppy shower, he sat in front of the computer and began to count the money he could control.

own account——

Empty, not a few cents.

Mom's account——

I don't have much money left, just enough to cover the cost of a genuine software upgrade, and there are a few small arrears.

【Unbelievable World】342967465

Just paying for the cost of the school's damage to the system is nearly ten times that.

This is not enough.
