Chapter 38 The Truth
◎This world is about to usher in a new chapter◎
An hour later, five people with special abilities came out of the treatment room in a daze.
The people waiting outside surrounded them instantly.
"So, so, so, has the spiritual pollution been reduced a lot?"
"How come you all came out in such a short time? Is this really cured?"
"It's only been an hour. Is it because Therapist Gu has exhausted too much mental energy? You too. Therapist Gu means well, but you can't all just go there."
The last person to come out was the psychic who was originally in second place for purification. Hearing the question, he shook his head blankly, "An hour? No, it's one minute."
He felt his eyes close and open, and then the treatment was over. If he hadn't had trouble falling asleep, Therapist Gu might not have needed so long.
The other four psychics who entered together also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it felt like I just took a nap, and when I woke up, the mental pollution was almost gone!"
"This is more thorough than any cleanup I've ever experienced. I feel like I can take on an E-class contaminated core single-handedly right now! No, I can't wait any longer. I need to enter the contaminated area!"
"Me too. I've been feeling really suffocated lately. Take me with you, brother!"
"And me, and me!"
The four people who had just completed the purification all ran away.
Everyone was shocked. Is this the strength of an A-level therapist?
It's so terrifying!
Seeing that everyone was about to run away, they still had questions to ask, especially the psychic who was about to enter next. He was now scratching his head with curiosity. He grabbed the last person and said, "Wait a minute, brother. If the purification effect is so good, what are you shouting in there?"
There was a burst of ghostly howling just now, and they were terrified when they heard it outside.
The person who was being pulled saw his companion running away and said anxiously: "I'm in a hurry. Why don't you ask the first person who went in? It's the same as asking him."
The person who grabbed him said helplessly: "He ran away a long time ago." Otherwise he wouldn't be waiting here.
Everyone watched eagerly, and the person being pulled had no choice but to stop. A look of nostalgia appeared on his face, and he finally said solemnly, "That feeling is pain and happiness. You'll understand in a moment."
After saying that, he ran away.
The people who stayed behind were puzzled, but no matter what, the purification was successful. As long as the spiritual pollution could be solved, it would be no problem even if they were really stabbed.
Soon, another group of people with special abilities entered.
There were bursts of ghostly howling and cheers, and the sanatorium was bustling with activity the whole morning.
In fact, this is also because there are not enough purifiers in the sanatorium, and there are too many people who are on the verge of alienation. Although the mental pollution of these people is not as serious as Qin Ping, it is not optimistic either. Therefore, they feel great pain when the black line extracts the black fog.
After clearing out the "inventory" that needed to be dealt with urgently at the sanatorium, Gu Nian estimated that it was almost done, so he stopped the treatment.
Zhong Xingchi had been waiting outside the treatment room for a long time. Seeing Gu Nian come out, he excitedly gave her a thumbs-up and said, "You have no idea, the Special Affairs Bureau is so happy! They said they would give you a banner."
There are more and more pollution cores, and the pressure on the Special Affairs Bureau is also increasing day by day. Now, many injured and sick personnel have returned to work, and their pressure is much less.
Gu Nian raised her eyebrows. When she was a psychiatrist, she had also received a banner. This was a recognition of the doctor's work by the patients, and she was very happy.
Zhong Xingchi handed the card with the changed permissions to Gu Nian and said with a chuckle, "From now on, your permissions will be the highest except for the dean, but your salary will be much higher than his. Oh, and the Special Affairs Bureau sent a special subsidy, saying it's for you, and it's already been transferred to your salary card."
Gu Nian checked her phone, a satisfied smile forming as she gazed at the string of zeros. She first transferred some money to Gu Bai, then transferred most of the remaining amount to Gu Ma, explaining its purpose. There would likely be a period of chaos soon, so preparations were necessary.
After everything was handled, Zhong Xingchi said that today was a big day. Their sanatorium finally had an A-level therapist, and they had to celebrate. He would treat everyone to dinner today.
On the way to dinner, Gu Nian suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what level of therapist is the dean? Why didn't I see him at Qin Ping's place yesterday?"
There were three B-level therapists yesterday, not including the dean.
Zhong Xingchi shook his head and said, "Our dean is not a healer, he is a brain evolver."
"Brain Evolver?"
The first person Gu Nian thought of was Xie Han. The young man was very smart. If the dean was also a brain evolver, then she might need to reconsider the other party's previous series of actions.
Had he so easily agreed to conceal her S-Class Purifier identity? Was it because he urgently needed a high-level healer to help with the purification, or was there some other reason? Or perhaps it was both. Thinking further, did he really believe she was an S-Class Purifier?
Gu Nian thought again of the "Eye of Truth" used as a testing tool. She'd initially found it somewhat odd, a derivative of a pollutant being used as a tool to measure psychics. It seemed strange, but she knew too little information at the moment, leaving her with no clues.
Although she didn't know what the old man was planning, Gu Nian wasn't ready to leave yet. If she wanted to know the truth, she had to at least get closer to the center of it.
In the afternoon, the banner from the Special Affairs Bureau arrived.
The people presenting the banner were Qi Kai and Ke Lele. They had just emerged from the contaminated area today, and with many other psychics returning, they had a short break. They were accompanied by an acquaintance: Song Tian, who had been hospitalized after breaking his head just after leaving the contaminated area.
Song Tian had also joined the Special Affairs Bureau. Upon learning that Gu Nian was an A-level purifier, he had a look of astonishment on his face. "No wonder I knew Dr. Gu would save me. He's actually an A-level!"
Having just joined the Special Affairs Bureau, he already knows what A-level means.
After a brief reunion, the few of them quickly separated again. The situation was becoming increasingly serious. Each of them had a heavy responsibility and did not have much time to relax.
In the next few days, Gu Nian worked in the sanatorium as usual. During this time, Dean Chen contacted her again, but this time it was indeed about the contaminated area that had erupted prematurely.
After coming out of the dean's office, Gu Nian knew that the truth was about to be revealed.
The world is about to usher in a new chapter.
By the weekend, the scars on Gu Nian's neck had completely healed. After a week of treatment, the atmosphere at the sanatorium was no longer tense, and the remaining purifiers were able to complete their daily work, so Gu Nian went home on leave.
Gu's mother knew that Gu Nian was coming back, so she cooked a large table of delicious food. Gu Bai also rushed back from school. In the evening, after the family finished their meal, they sat on the sofa together to chat and digest the food.
At this moment, the melodramatic TV series playing in the background suddenly stopped. After a brief black screen, a serious figure appeared on the screen and solemnly read out a message:
"Attention all citizens, we are now interrupted by an important news."
"Relevant national authorities have confirmed that numerous unexplained incidents have occurred around the world, including in our country, resulting in numerous casualties. Countries have reached a consensus on calling these 'pollution outbreaks,' the source of which has been designated a 'pollution core,' and the characteristics of pollution outbreaks are..."
Meanwhile, the same scene is playing out around the world.
Countless people stopped what they were doing and stared intently at the small screen before them, which carried a truth they could not bear. Pollution, death, and superpowers—they knew every word, yet it was completely beyond their imagination.
Chaos begins from this moment.
The Gu family was in complete silence. Although Gu Nian already knew the truth, she was still watching the news on TV intently. Then she noticed that although the news had finally been released, it was not the whole truth. For example, the source of the contaminated core was not explained.
After a little thought, Gu Nian understood why.
Those at the center of the pollution are the most desperate. Publicizing this information would certainly encourage more people to help find the epicenter of the pollution outbreak, and perhaps even treat everyone they encounter with kindness for their own safety. However, the greater likelihood is that more people will target those already in despair, creating even greater despair.
The news was repeated three times before stopping, and then it changed to text format and scrolled at the bottom of the TV. There was also an alarm method for encountering abnormal events at the end.
Because of Gu Nian, the Gu family had already known about this matter, and even knew much more than what was broadcast on TV, but this was still different from actually hearing the official announcement.
The atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment.
Gu Nian said, "Dad, Mom, I think you can move to where I work."
The key was just a Class D contaminant. While it could provide temporary shelter, it wasn't safe enough. Bringing her family to the sanatorium was a condition she had previously discussed with Director Chen. She could work for the sanatorium, but the sanatorium also needed to protect her family. Director Chen had already agreed to this.
Gu's father and mother looked at each other, and finally shook their heads.
Before Gu Nian could speak again, her mother said, "Niannian, I also understood some of what was reported on the news. This kind of thing happens all over the world, and there's no point in hiding anywhere. My parents are old, and their relatives and friends all live nearby, so they don't want to move around anymore."
Dad Gu smiled and continued, "Our Nian Nian has grown up now. When you were a child, you hated moving the most and would cry every time." As soon as he finished speaking, Mom Gu pinched him.
Mother Gu glared at Father Gu: "How long ago did it happen? You're still talking about it."
Dad Gu quickly raised his hand and begged for mercy.
Gu Nian finally didn't force it, and finally looked at Gu Bai again, "What about you?"
Gu Bai had been scrolling through his phone furiously since the news began. He only looked up after Gu Nian called out twice. After figuring out what was going on, he quickly shook his head, "I'm not going. Your place is too far, and I have to go to school. I've been pretty busy lately."
After saying this, he didn't know what he saw, but he tutted his tongue and said, "You know how much merit some people must have accumulated in their past lives. Not only are they rich, but they even gave birth to a son with superpowers. Those with evolved brains must be so smart. All the money in the world must have been earned by their family."
Hearing his words, Gu Nian suddenly asked, "Who do you say is the brain evolver?"
Gu Bai said, "It's the famous Xie Group in our S City. They just issued a press release saying that they are celebrating their youngest son becoming a brain evolver and are hosting a banquet for celebrities from S City."
Gu Nian took the phone and started looking at it, then paused on a name.
Lin Rongbin was also on the invitation list.
Gu Nian lowered his eyes slightly. Was Fang Tong's heart bought by the other party?
