"Name?"
“…”
"Name?"
"His name is Lin Qiye."
"I know his name is Lin Qiye!"
In the empty consultation room, Doctor Li glared at Wu Quan beside him, "I'm checking to see if he's conscious. This is his second time as a patient in my hospital. His name is Lin Qiye. Do I need you to remind me?"
Wuquan snorted coldly and turned his head away with a somewhat resentful look in his eyes.
Doctor Li looked at Lin Qiye, who was sitting motionless in the seat opposite him. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again: "Since you don't want to answer... then let's skip the previous part. Lin Qiye, what did you see during the time when your soul was out of your body and you were unconscious?"
Lin Qiye lowered his head, still silent, his eyes somewhat empty.
Seeing this scene, Dr. Li shook his head helplessly and stood up from his seat.
"Wuquan, hold him and come with me to the Psychiatric Radiology Department. He needs a systematic examination."
"Why should I listen to you?"
"You asked to be my assistant, so of course you have to do these jobs. If you change your mind, you can go back to the cell and be put in solitary confinement."
Wu Quan sighed, stood up obediently, and reached out to support Lin Qiye.
But before his hand touched Lin Qiye's body, the latter stood up by himself, followed Dr. Li, and walked silently towards the Department of Psychiatric Radiology.
Wuquan stood there in a daze.
"Doctor Li..."
Wu Quan was about to say something when Dr. Li turned around and saw this scene. He narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head at Wu Quan, and signaled him not to make any sound.
Afterwards, Dr. Li took Lin Qiye, who was walking like a puppet, into the Department of Psychiatric Radiology.
…
One hour later.
"Doctor Li, how is his condition?" Seeing Doctor Li pushing a wheelchair out of the hospital, Zuo Qing, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and asked worriedly.
Doctor Li sighed, "It's almost as expected. His soul was at its most vulnerable during the out-of-body period, and it was subjected to a strong impact from the 'heart barrier', causing his consciousness to become blurred... He seemed to be able to hear us talking and understand part of what we meant, but his subjective initiative was extremely low.
When people are experiencing strong emotional shocks, such as the death of a loved one or career failure, it is easy for them to enter a trance and become confused. His situation is similar to this, except that his disembodied soul has magnified this pain a hundred times. "
"Is there any way to treat it?"
"If it's purely a mental illness, I have a way to deal with it, but the 'heart barrier' can't be influenced by external forces... Whether he can take that step depends on himself."
After getting this answer, Zuo Qing looked a little disappointed, but he was also mentally prepared. After all, even Tianzun was helpless about Lin Qiye's situation. In the final analysis, this was just Lin Qiye's "mental barrier" and no one could interfere.
"Then let him recuperate here during this period of time." Zuo Qing could only accept the reality. "If his condition improves, contact me immediately."
"OK."
Doctor Li and Wu Quan stood in front of the hospital, watching Zuo Qing's plane buzzing as it left the fasting center and disappeared into the sky.
Doctor Li looked down at Lin Qiye, who was sitting in the wheelchair without saying a word, and smiled helplessly.
"Not many people come to my place as patients twice in a row... Maybe you are born to be with mental hospitals?"
"That doesn't sound like a good thing to say." Wu Quan said quietly.
“…”
Doctor Li glanced at Wu Quan and spoke slowly, "It just so happens that you just took up the position of physician assistant and haven't done much... During this period of time, you will be responsible for taking care of him.
In addition to preparing three meals a day and taking care of his daily life, I also spend five hours a day walking with him and talking to him more. These positive external interactions may help him get out of the shadow of the "heart barrier" faster."
"Me? Take care of him?" Wu Quan frowned and looked at Lin Qiye.
"It's okay if you don't want to do it. There are plenty of people in the fasting center who can be transferred to serve as physician assistants..."
After Wuquan heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Okay, I'll do it!"
"If you are going to do something, you must do it well. If I find that you are not taking good care of me, you don't have to come to the hospital anymore from now on, okay?" Doctor Li patted Wu Quan's shoulder, turned around and walked into the hospital.
In front of the empty hospital, only Lin Qiye and Wu Quan were left. The latter took a deep breath, held the handle of the wheelchair, and pushed Lin Qiye away little by little.
…
"Hey, can you really not hear me?"
The bright sunshine fell on the green lawn, and the dew was crystal clear. Wuquan pushed Lin Qiye in the wheelchair and walked slowly forward.
Lin Qiye lowered his head, pretending not to hear Wu Quan's question.
Seeing Lin Qiye's reaction, Wu Quan's expression relaxed a little. No matter how to say it, taking care of a Lin Qiye who had no self-awareness was much better than facing a sober Lin Qiye... He would never forget the scene when Lin Qiye grabbed him with his own hands and sent him to the fasting center.
"I heard about your situation from the conversation between Commander Zuo and Doctor Li." Wu Quan muttered to himself as he walked, "Humans are always fragile... You witnessed the death of two team members in just one day, and I can understand your feelings.
When the fire killed Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng, I was in the same situation as you are now. I didn’t want to accept the reality either, and my mind went blank… But I quickly forced myself to wake up. Do you know why? "
Wu Quan knew that Lin Qiye would not answer, so he continued to speak:
“Because even though they are dead, there are still some people alive…Brother Qingzhu is the reason why I persevere. For him, I must face everything, so I force myself to use [Emperor of Domination] to control their bodies… This is the salvation for him and me.
Maybe you also need a motivation to get out of this... a salvation."
As Wu Quan finished speaking, the wheelchair he was pushing suddenly stopped.
He looked down in confusion, only to see Lin Qiye, who had been in a daze, suddenly reach out and grab the wheel, forcing them to stop.
Lin Qiye, wearing a newly changed blue and white hospital gown, stared blankly into the distance, sitting in a wheelchair like a sculpture, motionless.
Wuquan followed his gaze, confusion evident in his eyes.
"Isn't it just a wall? What's so good about it?"
On the cliff, a tall black steel wall stood majestically. A half sun floated above the vast ocean. Golden water droplets shattered and splashed on the edge of the cliff. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether it was the setting sun or the rising sun.
Wuquan was only focused on the wall, so he naturally didn't notice that in Lin Qiye's cloudy eyes, four young men jumped down from the top of the wall, laughing loudly...
The dim setting sun sank into the sea and the sky gradually darkened. After all, it was the setting sun before the night fell, not the rising sun.
Wu Quan turned his head and was about to say something when he suddenly froze in place.
In the fading setting sun, Lin Qiye burst into tears.
