This was not quite the same as Lingye remembered. She took out her cell phone, tapped it a few times with her fingers, and then had a strange expression on her face.
"Is this the place you're talking about?"
"Ah, I almost forgot there's a Tokyo map! Yes, it's here."
Their phones have a Tokyo map with satellite navigation. With satellite maps, some things become very convenient.
"But you see, this commercial building has been abandoned. Have you forgotten that it caught fire last year? The news also said that the circuits and facilities there are outdated and there are plans to demolish them in the second half of this year."
"That's impossible, that commercial building is still open for business!"
Beidou couldn't accept the confusion between memory and reality.
Although the place is quite shabby, there are only a few stores in the entire commercial building, and the economy is in recession, it is indeed open for business.
"you sure?"
"I..." After saying this, Beidou became a little uncertain again.
Come to think of it, it seems that, in that vague memory, there was really only a dental hospital operating there.
How come he didn't notice anything unusual at the time? Moreover, he should have known about the news of the fire, but he didn't even remember it until Lingye reminded him.
"Maybe it's a psychological suggestion."
"Psychological suggestion, what is that?"
Ling didn't say anything. At this time, the door of the detention room opened and the guard came to send off the night shift.
Beidou hasn't had a good meal since he had a toothache, and now that he has recovered, he is already hungry.
"Mr. Beidou, I picked out the fattest eels for you from the cafeteria for dinner today." The guard who spoke brought the bowls and plates. "You look much better than before. You should get more rest. I think Captain Long put you in solitary confinement because he thought you were too tired. Don't take it to heart."
Solitary confinement is not a prison, and the guards are not jailers. They all respect every TAC member.
Beidou's appetite was indeed much better, but what confused him more than the meal was the guard's indifferent attitude towards Ling standing aside.
Ling did not hide, but stood in the middle of the room. She did not question why there was an extra person in the room until the person who delivered the food left.
"How is this going?"
“That’s the psychological suggestion.”
With Lingya's testimony, Beidou remembered that this had happened before.
"Same as the one at the Kappa residence?"
"more or less."
During the Kappa Super Beast incident, the Yawa people used a strange radio wave to influence the human brain cognition. This time it may be the same.
It was no coincidence that Beidou went to that clinic. He had been influenced by it unintentionally.
He was given a hint that even if he passed by a big hospital or other famous dental clinics along the way, he would not stop and would definitely go there.
When was it hinted at?
Beidou thought about it, and it was at that time that everything started to go wrong. After the Cosmos received the order from the base to investigate a certain airspace between the earth and the moon.
There was indeed something unusual there, but he didn't notice it, and then he was unknowingly affected.
"This spell is so weird, is there no way to resist it?"
This kind of thing is chilling just thinking about it, Beidou even described it as a "magic".
If your thoughts are controlled, are you still yourself?
"This kind of suggestion is too crude. If you meet someone with firm beliefs and who is very sure about what he wants to do, then the suggestion is likely to fail."
Lingye's hints were different. She didn't exert influence on others, whether it was the guard standing guard at the door or the one who just came to deliver the meal.
She had simply allowed herself to become too accustomed to it.
What do people take for granted? Of course, it is the world around them, the grass and trees, the sun and rain, which people often don't care about. That was the role of Lingye in their minds at that time.
As long as people have firm beliefs, they will not be affected?
Bokuto isn't sure, and Lingye says this to mean he's weak-willed.
But it is true that compared to his brothers, he knows that he is not strong enough. If his brother Seven, who is good at Ultraman's thoughts, had transformed into the Star Cluster, he would not have been so easily controlled by the aliens.
As a fighter, he is far from qualified.
After leaving the TAC team, Ling rushed to Iidabashi as soon as possible.
As expected, the so-called commercial building was just a run-down demolished building with nothing in it. The place that Beidou called a dental clinic was just a ruin.
There was a "Q" on the wooden sign at the door, but the sign had decayed and the words behind it were not clear. However, I could vaguely tell that it was not a dental clinic, but something like "research".
The room was not particularly big, and was divided into inner and outer rooms. There was no furnishings in the room, and it was just empty.
The dusty and dirty floor was a little slippery, and it was hard to find a place to step on. Even though Ling didn't have a mysophobia, she still felt a little disgusted when she stepped on such a floor.
The dilapidated hollow windows and spider webs on the walls all showed that no one had been here for a long time. The air was filled with the smell of mold from being in a humid environment for a long time, which was also unpleasant.
All the fantasies only exist in Beidou's mind, even the fact that he came here for treatment may not have actually happened.
The light of the setting sun was dim yellow, and soon turned bright red, pouring in through the dilapidated window. Ling just stood at the window and looked out.
Gradually, the light dimmed.
Night falls.
The uninhabited commercial buildings are like ancient corpses, gradually decaying.
Then at a certain moment, light suddenly illuminated the space.
Only the wreckage remained, and even the incandescent light bulb with a broken wire was lit.
This light seemed to turn on a switch, and the dirty, dilapidated and mottled walls suddenly became neat, with snow-white walls and clean windows.
"Come in."
A woman's voice came from the inner room, which was separated into inner and outer rooms.
It's not a familiar sound, but I have some impression of it.
Ling seemed unaware and thought it was just a normal thing. She said "Excuse me" and opened the door and walked into the inner room.
I had seen an empty room before, but now there was a dentist's chair.
"Is it a toothache? Sit down."
"My tooth doesn't hurt. I came to get my hairpin. Doctor, you took my hairpin away."
The dentist here is indeed the nurse from before.
"Even if your teeth don't hurt, you still need to have regular checkups. Children should pay attention to their dental health. Sit down, I'll take a look."
After hearing this, Lingye actually sat down on the chair.
The female doctor in white held a dental mirror in one hand and a flashlight in the other and examined it carefully.
"You don't have cavities, but the food you eat is too fine and your teeth aren't getting enough exercise. Ask the chef at home to make it a little rougher, and keep it whole if possible without grinding it, so that your teeth can do it themselves."
"Okay, thank you doctor."
Ling also wanted to come, and it seemed that there was really this problem.
I was like that in my previous life. The dishes cooked by the chef were too delicate, even the fruits were cut into slices and cubes. Taking too good care of others is also a problem.
Teeth are used to cut and grind food, and if they are not used fully they will develop poorly.
"But I didn't expect that you would actually dare to let me examine you. Is it because you have the margin of victory?" said the female doctor.
The loser should lie on the ground and rot, while the winner should stand high above.
"No, I just didn't expect it. Yabo, even if it's like this, you have to linger on. Isn't it painful?"
Ling has also discovered that this female doctor is Yabo. Not someone from the Yabo civilization, but specifically the Yabo Speaker who committed suicide and was shattered to pieces.
She is not here as a living being, she is a resentful spirit.
A being between spirit and matter.
"I remember that the Yabo civilization shouldn't have such technology. You guys specialize in biotechnology and other dimensions. So it's Zoda? Is your invasion of Earth also because of Zoda?"
Yabo civilization. Five hundred years ago, Yabo, the then Speaker of the Senate, suddenly transformed himself into a super beast, and the dimensional civilization became a pirate civilization.
Five hundred years is a long time, but for a being like Joda it is just a blink of an eye.
Just a casual move.
Use it to test the earth, success or failure doesn't matter.
"How dare you call him by that name? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
As long as the name is mentioned, it will be discovered, which is also the terrifying thing about Zoda, so it is a taboo among many civilizations in the galaxy. Most civilizations do not know it, and those who know it dare not mention it.
"Even if it is discovered, Zoda will not come to Earth. It is injured."
The female doctor's hand trembled.
"You are talking nonsense. You don't understand how terrifying Zoda is!"
"Let alone a primary civilization like Earth. Even a fourth-level civilization like our Yabo, which can use the dimension as a fortress, has no power to resist it."
The frog in the well.
Yabo's power is like a deep spring whose bottom can never be seen. Whether it is a primary civilization or a fourth-level civilization, they are all the same in front of it.
It can be kneaded as you like.
Yabo looked at the girl in front of him and felt a little pity for her. She was probably deceived by the words of the Kingdom of Light.
In Yabo's opinion, Earth is probably just a trap set by the Kingdom of Light for Zoda. Once every 50,000 years, it is the number one enemy even for the Kingdom of Light. It is certainly worth it to seal Zoda at the cost of one Earth.
Because of ignorance, I can still sit here peacefully. This is probably the happiness of ignorance.
If the Earth truly understood how terrifying Zoda was, and realized that any resistance would be a futile joke, then it would know what true despair is.
Everyone will be like him. It is not shameful to choose to surrender, all for the continuation of civilization.
"Do you know? As a winner, I will always live with the hatred of the loser. I will hate you forever, Gaia!"
"Even if I become a vengeful spirit?"
"Yes, even if I become a vengeful spirit, I will still pester you endlessly."
