Hannah did not struggle long over this multiple-choice question. She was clear that for her parents and the Bureau of Investigation, a person lying in a hospital bed and needing the comfort of a virtual scene was practically no different from being dead.
When Song Lan and Lu Xiang entered the room, their conversation was already drawing to a close.
They just happened to witness the moment when Hannah made her decision.
"Your friends are here."
The attending physician glanced toward the door of the ward and then left Hannah with her friends, having fulfilled his duty as a doctor.
Hannah turned her face to the side, one of the few things she could still do.
After sitting down, Lu Xiang asked, "You’re going through a full-body prosthesis modification? You should be aware of the risks involved."
"I’m aware. This is my decision; please don’t try to persuade me otherwise," she replied.
Hannah was suddenly reminded of the soap operas she had watched, one of the limited forms of entertainment she enjoyed during her work travels.
The unfortunate future, advice from friends, created an atmosphere as heart-wrenching as a soap opera. She faced Lu Xiang, and finally, Lu Xiang spoke with a tone of doubt, "But I wasn’t planning to dissuade you. You’re an adult and you will take responsibility for your own decisions."

Song Lan said boldly, "What I mean is, Classmate Hannah, you’ve now gained a reasonable opportunity to ask for leave from the Investigation Bureau at any time!"

What was even more incredible was that his main occupation wasn’t a professional psychologist, but a detective.
"How come you seem to know everything?"
"You’re right."
Classmate Lu Xiang once again revealed a dangerous smile, affectionately wrapping her arm around Song Lan, but to Hanna, her posture suggested she was seconds away from choking Song Lan, "This guy really does know everything except how to do his actual job."
