Acai's Sky

Chapter 952 Fantasy Island Mental Hospital 3

The chaos in the counseling room had not yet subsided when the crisp sound of broken porcelain suddenly came from the end of the corridor.

A Cai looked in the direction of the voice and saw the "scientist" holding half a bar of soap and writing a Möbius strip on the wall. The nurse next to him was holding a mop and was about to cry - he had just drawn a quantum wave diagram on the floor with toothpaste, and now he carved the soap on the sink into a Klein bottle model.

“This is the embodiment of the space-time anchor point!”

He saw the nurse approaching with a syringe, and suddenly took off his glasses to adjust the light. "When the molecular chains of soap resonate with ultraviolet light, a four-dimensional channel will be opened - look!"

He threw the soap towards the ceiling, and the soap strangely stuck to the wall and slowly rotated at an angle that defied gravity.

The "hero" seized the opportunity to rush out from the crowd, placed his wooden sword on the fire hydrant, and actually made the opening move of "Tiyunzong": "My fellow Taoists! Follow me to break through this 'trapped dragon formation'!"

Before he could finish his words, he slipped and fell into the pile of mops on the cleaning cart, without forgetting to shout out "Wind - strong - pull - whoosh -", which made the nurse who was mopping the floor burst out laughing.

The most amazing thing was the chess-crazy old man, who was holding a chessboard in front of the nurse, the chess pieces spinning rapidly between his fingertips: "Little girl, you made this 'double rook mistake' move too hastily."

He pointed at the tranquilizers on the medicine cart. "If I were you, I'd use the 'encircle Wei to save Zhao' strategy—first tell the kid in bed 307 about the paradox of a parallel universe, wait until he's caught in a logical loop, and then take the opportunity to give him the medicine."

The nurse stamped her feet in anger and said, "Sir, could you please stop treating the medical records like chess moves?"

"Wrong, wrong," the old man suddenly slapped the chessboard, sending pills and buttons scattering all over the floor. "This game is clearly 'Seven Stars Gathering'! Look at that nurse in blue, he's clearly a hidden agent; the fire extinguisher at the door is the key to the game—"

He suddenly turned his head and stared at Ah Cai, a gleam of light flashing in his cloudy eyes, "Is this new girl the one who broke the game with white pieces?"

Ah Cai's heart trembled, but before she could answer, a beeping electronic sound suddenly came from the corner.

A young man wearing a tinfoil helmet was muttering to himself in front of the microwave: "Received a signal from the mother planet! At 8 o'clock tonight, a wormhole will open on the back of the moon—"

He suddenly grabbed a passing doctor and said, "Quickly adjust the disinfection lamp to 1723 nanometers. That's the communication frequency of our species!"

The doctor tugged at his white coat helplessly. "Xiao Li, last week you said you were a Martian, and this week you changed it to Andromeda?"

"Ignorance!" The young man lifted his helmet, revealing his forehead covered with electrodes. "The Interstellar Federation has just been reorganized, and my star field number has been changed from A-7 to X-12—"

He suddenly caught sight of the medicine cup in the nurse's hand. "Wait, the molecular arrangement of this glucose solution is wrong! It's clearly an energy liquid forged by Earthlings!"

Throughout the morning, the ward area was like the scene of an absurd drama: "scientists" used suppositories to draw gravitational field models on glass, "heroes" changed their hospital gowns into Hanfu to practice martial arts, "chess fanatics" used chess pieces to set up a maze in the corridor, and even the nurses responsible for feeding the children were pulled by "aliens" to discuss the wrinkles of space and time in the microwave.

In the afternoon, a loud bang suddenly erupted from the nurses' station. When Ah Cai ran over, she saw the "hero" wielding an IV stand as a weapon, confronting three security guards. "How dare you use a 'Soul Locking Chain' (restraint belt) against me? Watch out for the sword—"

He swung the IV tube in an arc and accurately threw the saline bag onto the fire alarm. Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the entire floor.

"Stop it!" The head nurse finally lost her patience and rushed into the corridor with a megaphone. "If you keep going like this, everyone's outdoor activities will be canceled!"

The “scientist” immediately raised his hand to refute: “According to Pareto optimality theory, depriving sunlight will cause serotonin secretion to drop by 37%, and will increase regulatory costs—”

The chess fanatic slowly replied, "I'm afraid this 'house arrest order' will trigger a series of disasters."

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Acai suddenly found that the sweeping robot in the corner stopped at the door of Ward 302, and an abnormal red light flashed on the screen.

She quietly moved closer and saw the woman who had broken the cup squatting on the ground, drawing complex geometric shapes in the condensed water stains with her fingers, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ah Cai felt that she was losing her mind after coming here, and those patients seemed to be quite powerful!

The early morning sunlight streamed through the blinds into the cafeteria of the mental hospital. The clinking of stainless steel plates was mixed with the sound of complaints.

Nurse Xiao Zhang bit into a steamed bun, her eyes wide. "Did you hear? Yesterday, Mr. Li changed his hospital gown into ancient costume, saying he was going to participate in the Huashan Sword Contest. He ended up fighting with the rose in the garden for twenty rounds! In the end, he hugged the flower pot and shouted, 'This chivalrous flower is really a hidden talent!'"

"What's that?" Nurse Xiao Wang wiped away tears of laughter. "Mr. Chen is the worst! He dismantled the thermometer, saying he wanted to make a 'time velocity detector'. Now all the thermometers in the department are short of mercury! Yesterday, Doctor Zhang wanted to take my temperature, but he stared at the empty glass tube for five minutes!"

The cafeteria erupted in laughter, but the head nurse stared at the surveillance footage on her tablet, her brows knitted together. "Did you notice Bed 302? The star map she drew on the wall yesterday is exactly the same as NASA's latest map of the Orion Nebula..."

"Ding~" The dinner bell suddenly rang, interrupting the head nurse.

Ah Cai had just sat down with her tray when Xiao Zhou, the formula-crazed maniac wearing thick glasses, rushed in with a pile of crumpled manuscript paper, shouting, "Major discovery! I've cracked the quantum entanglement laws of the cafeteria food!"

He slammed the manuscript paper on the dining table, startling the aunt sitting next to him so much that her egg custard jumped three times.

"Look!" Xiao Zhou pushed up his glasses, which had slipped to the tip of his nose, and pointed at the manuscript paper with his chopsticks. "If today's breakfast is steamed buns, then three days later's dinner will definitely be braised pork. This is based on the law of increasing entropy and chaos theory—"

"Stop!" The lady serving the food rushed over, spoon in hand. "Last week, you said there was dark matter in the porridge I cooked, and the new intern nurse had to use a beaker to catch it! If you keep saying that today, I'll deduct half a month's worth of chicken legs from you!"

Xiao Zhou immediately covered his plate with his hands and said righteously, "How can you threaten academic discussion with a chicken drumstick? I'm going to publish my paper right now!"

As he spoke, he rushed to the corridor with his manuscript in his arms, only to run into the "Martial Arts Master" Lao Zhao. Wearing a cape made from a bed sheet and holding a broom handle, Lao Zhao shouted, "Who dares to block my way to Xiangyang City?"

"Hero Zhao, wait a minute!" Xiao Zhou suddenly got into the role, holding the manuscript and bowing, "I have the ultimate formula of the universe to share with you!"

Old Zhao narrowed his eyes and pointed the broom handle at Xiao Zhou's nose. "Do you dare to fight me in this steamed bun formation?"

Before he finished speaking, he picked up two steamed buns and used them as nunchakus, waving them vigorously in the air.

Doctor Zhang, who was serving food, couldn't stand it any longer. He raised his medical records as a shield and rushed over: "Old Zhao! You still haven't settled the score for that time when you used your slippers as a hidden weapon and hit the TV remote control into the ventilation duct!"

"You are such a lackey of the imperial court!" Old Zhao jumped onto the dining table with a somersault, "Look at my 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms'!" Then he grabbed half a plate of pickles and threw it out.

Doctor Zhang ran away with his head in his hands. The pen on the medical record book flew out and happened to get stuck in the bun of the passing nurse Sister Wang.

Sister Wang calmly pulled out her pen and continued mopping the floor. Without even turning around, she said, "Doctor Zhang, do you need me to write down in the handover notes about that time 'Tien Shan Tong Lao' tied you to the radiator with an IV tube?"

The cafeteria was instantly filled with laughter, and even the usually serious head nurse couldn't hold back her smile.

Ah Cai quietly observed everyone's reactions, and her eyes suddenly fixed on a corner - the guy in bed 302 who always loved to draw star maps was quietly eating breakfast with a galaxy model drawn on a napkin with ketchup in front of him.

She looked up and met Acai's gaze. Suddenly, she blinked and mouthed, "They are the ones who are trapped."
