Rhodes Island's Psychologist

Ch 117: Fourth Floor's Resident Is Back

Lin Yie never thought he would actually sleep in. It's almost ten o'clock now.

Was he really that tired? And when did these drones get here? But they are barely larger than his hands. What can they do really?

He pokes a drone randomly, and it seems to have detected something. It begins to circle around his hand, like a cat seeking attention.

How do they work?

Lin Yie takes out his phone and sees there are two missed calls, both of which from Orchid. He calls her right away.

"I'm really sorry for missing your call. I overslept."

Lin Yie feels really embarrassed, but fortunately, Orchid doesn't seem to mind it too much, probably because she understands the nature of his work.

He takes a glance at the drones next to him and asks, "So, how do you use the drones?"

"It's really easy," Orchid explains, "Just give them your order and the right to access all the rooms on your floor."

"That's it?"

"Yes," Orchid says lightly, "You just have to wait for them to finish. After that, you can order them to go back. We already uploaded your voice to the system, and with your authority, you should be able to order them freely."

Lin Yie can't help but feel he got promoted from being the CEO of a mental hospital to the army commander of a thousand killer drones.

"Alright, I understand now.."

But before Lin Yie hangs up, Orchid adds, "Once the drones have finished their work, you should go back to your dorm as soon as possible. Don't stay too late on the fourth floor."

Lin Yie pauses for a moment and asks, "Why did you say that?"

"I suppose someone else already said the same thing to you, but you don't need to worry too much, at least not tonight, I think. Still, it's better to be careful," Orchid says, "I know it was Amiya who put you there, but I... Nevermind, just go back as soon as possible."

Lin Yie stares at his phone, stunned, even though Orchid already hung up.

He looks a little pale.

"Why did everyone have to repeat this?" He mutters, "Who the hell lives on this floor? These rumors are getting out of hand."

Maybe it's just him, but the room suddenly feels a lot colder.

Lin Yie pats his chest and tells himself that there is nothing to be afraid of. Didn't Amiya say that the people on this floor are very ordinary and that they are very antisocial? Those rumors stem from misunderstandings. That has to be it.

And Orchid said today is not the day.

Lin Yie breathes a sigh of relief.

...

As Orchid said, these drones are highly intelligent. After receiving the order, they left to clean the other rooms on the fourth floor.

Even though he wants to watch the drones clean the rooms, Lin Yie is more concerned about the residents on this floor. Deep down inside, he chooses to believe Amiya and to think that the residents here are good people, but the rumors have still managed to instill doubts in his mind. Amiya said they are misunderstood. Saria compared them to the ocean. Ansel said they are monsters with an insatiable thirst for blood. Even Ptilopsis and Orchid advised him not to stay too late on this floor.

*Sigh*

I guess I really need a good sleep tonight. Nevermind, I still have to train later.
