Chapter 49: Field of Vision II

I arrived at the laboratory where there were three isolated rooms at the end of the corridor.

Proceeding along the corridor, I had to go through a few metal framed glass doors.

The glasses were translucent so it was difficult to see through them.

The three rooms were decorated in a way that wasn’t in line with the rest of the building.

As the office building hadn’t been renovated in a long time, the walls were all old and yellowed.

Yet, beyond these layers of glass doors were rooms with snow-white walls. It was as if they were newly done up.

A guard stood before the glass doors.

The guard did not acknowledge my presence and seemed not to have any intention of opening the door.

“Open up,” I demanded.

The guard remained motionless as if he hadn’t heard me.

“Do you not know who I am?” I questioned loudly but the guard was unmoved.

The accountant ran over and explained, “There are rules. You can’t go in dressed like that.”

“What rules?”

He handed a snow-white work uniform to me. “Once you’re sterile and disinfected, you’ll be able to enter.”

Annoyed, I put it on and turned back to the guard.

Indeed, he opened the first door and allowed me and the accountant to go through.

Trapped between the first and second door, I heard a computerized voice.

Disinfection, start.

Strong gushes of wind blew onto us for two whole minutes.

In the second room, I saw blue clay floor tiles.

Stepping on it made a blue substance stick to our shoes and. We left the second room with shoes that had a layer of blur membrane around it.

The accountant put on a hairnet and a mask and I followed suit.

Finally, we reached the end and there weren’t many people around.

Seven experimenters to be exact.

The accountant led me into the first room.

I was welcomed by all sorts of equipment, an absolutely foreign experience for a landscape architect.

The accountant proceeded to relay some information to a professor inside the room.

The professor approached me and asked, “Are you the new boss?”

I only nodded. Initially, I had planned to be in control, but somehow, I turned passive.

The professor put on his thick glasses before saying, “Come.”

I followed him into the second room but the accountant did not.

“I still have some accounts to clear,” he explained before leaving.

The professor had ordered the three experimenters in the room to leave so only the two of us were left.

“What do you want to know?” he started.

“Anoinfloxacin.”

“I figured you haven’t been injected with it. Come over, I’ll let you experience its beauty.”

He bent down to retrieve a pair of spectacles.

He then took out a bottle of Anoinfloxacin solvent and dripped it into one spectacle lens.

“Try wearing it.”

I put it on and immediately felt dizzy.

The professor came over with a board and covered the lens with Anoinfloxacin.

He then took out a pointer and pointed at a faraway monitor, asking, “What color?”

I looked over to where he was pointing. On the monitor was a big tree illuminated by the sun.

“Green?”

He moved the board to cover the lens without Anoinfloxacin and repeated his question.

I was dumbstruck. The originally green tree was now exceptionally crisp and had so many different shades because of the shadow cast by the sun.

The bottom portion was darker, and toward the top, the tree became brighter.

The professor pointed at the topmost layer of leaves. “We call this B5 Green and the bottommost layer D5 Green.”

I could hardly believe my eyes. Did this professor alter the image when I wasn’t paying attention?

I removed the board and was proven wrong.

The eye without Anoinfloxacin lens couldn’t perceive as many variations of green.

I covered that eye again and couldn’t believe that I was looking at a still image since the tree looked as if it was going to pop out from the monitor.

I looked at the professor and noticed that he looked completely different as well.

It was as if I was viewing the world in an ultra high definition. It was indescribable.

My jaw dropped and I was left speechless.

The professor smiled. “This is the beauty of Anoinfloxacin. Curing blindness is merely one of its uses. With the three primary colors as a foundation, humans can only perceive a handful of colors. With Anoinfloxacin, they could perceive a million more shades.

He then turned off the light and I was shocked to discover that the Anoinfloxacin lens provided perfect night vision as well and I could see everything clear as day.

He added Anoinfloxacin to the other lens and I could finally indulge in the full experience.

“Go out and see the world. Because it’s not injected into the eyes’ crystalline lenses, oxidation will occur and the spectacle lenses will only be effective for an hour. Sixty-three minutes to be exact.”

An hour? I nodded before leaving the laboratory.

I opened the office building door and was flabbergasted.

The sun shone on the ground, turning it golden-bright and dazzling. The colors reflected off the ground had me totally enchanted.

I finally understood Father’s words. You’ll only understand its beauty after experiencing it.

I strolled along the streets and could distinguish between shades that I usually couldn’t.

D2 Silver traffic light post, B4 Red traffic light…

Even the cars which were supposedly of the same color appeared differently to my eyes.

I attempted to search for the bluest car, but I would always catch sight of one that was even bluer than the one before.

Even every white car was unique to me.

I was enthralled by it all but I quickly noticed that the colors were starting to dim.

I took the spectacles off and the professor’s words came back to mind.

One hour was up.

A thousand for a bottle, and if not injected into the eyes, it would only last an hour.

I started feeling disappointed. It was scarier than taking drugs.

I lost all interest in what I was seeing, but it became clear to me how people could become obsessed with Anoinfloxacin.
