Chapter 45: City of Happiness
◎Return the property to its original owner◎
Just as everyone was stunned, Bai Tianhao slipped away. However, except for Lin Baozhu, whose happiness points were traded away, no one paid attention to his whereabouts.
The speed of pollution spread accelerated again, which meant that at least three pollution cores appeared in the park.
A psychic cursed angrily, "What kind of a shitty paradise is this? I've never seen so many contaminated cores anywhere!"
Although the initial level of the contaminated core was not high, after completing two consecutive annexations, the current contaminated core has exceeded level D and is developing towards level C. If this continues, they will face a behemoth.
Everyone here might have to die.
Realizing this, the psychics who had always been relatively calm also became a little panicked.
When the next hour arrives, everyone's happiness value changes again.
Gu Nian frowned after seeing the change in her happiness value. She, Xie Han, and the young Taoist priest all saw their happiness values drop by one point, but she was certain her emotions hadn't fluctuated. This meant that regardless of whether they experienced negative emotions, their happiness values would continue to decrease.
This meant they had to find the core of the contamination quickly, or else their escape would be a mystery. This was especially true for Xie Han, who had the lowest happiness score. After the deduction, his happiness was reduced to just 4 points. If he didn't increase it quickly, he could only hold out for four hours at most.
At this moment, Lin Baozhu let out a scream. Gu Nian looked over and saw that her happiness value was less than 20 points. Although dangerous, it was not immediately fatal. However, Lin Baozhu's expression was ferocious and terrifying, as if even her disguise could no longer be maintained.
Gu Nian wasn't surprised. For someone like Lin Baozhu, losing control of things would be more painful than killing her. Bai Tianhao's betrayal had had a significant impact on her. However, these two were birds of a feather, unworthy of sympathy.
Bai Tianhao had already fled, and the psychic that Gu Nian had brought with him was also preparing to leave. The happiness they had exchanged could not be recovered, and the only way now was to find the contaminated core as soon as possible.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Nian walked up to Lin Baozhu and invited her, "Miss Lin, we are going to go with everyone. Do you want to come with us?" Fang Tong's heart must be taken back, but if they can't get out, everything will be in vain.
And Gu Nian believed that Lin Baozhu would agree.
Sure enough, Lin Baozhu nodded and agreed without hesitation. Before Gu Nian came over, she had already adjusted her expression and asked with some confusion, "Sister, where is Fang Tong?"
She said apologetically, "I didn't expect Bai Tianhao to be that kind of person. I hope you don't take what he said before to heart. If possible, I want to apologize to Fang Tong."
Gu Nian smiled and said, "Okay."
She returned to Ward 606, and when she came out, she was still pushing Fang Tong in a wheelchair.
Lin Baozhu had seen Gu Nian push someone out of the accompanying room before, so she wasn't surprised this time. She walked over to Gu Nian and whispered, "Sister, why don't I push Fang Tong?"
Gu Nian hesitated: "This is not a good idea. After all, you are still sick."
Lin Baozhu still insisted: "Please give me a chance to repent."
Gu Nian let go: "Okay then."
Lin Baozhu smiled at her gratefully, took the wheelchair, and prepared to push it forward like Gu Nian. However, when she pushed hard, the wheelchair in her hands did not move at all.
Lin Baozhu couldn't help but increase her strength, and this time the wheelchair finally started to move forward.
After pushing the bike forward for a distance, Lin Baozhu's face turned red.
Gu Nian: "How about I do it?"
Lin Baozhu quickly shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay. I just wasn't used to it."
Seeing her insistence, Gu Nian withdrew his hand, but still reminded her: "If you are tired, just tell me. People say it is very heavy. You should understand this situation."
Lin Baozhu nodded awkwardly.
At first, Gu Nian was walking side by side with Lin Baozhu, but she walked too slowly. Before she knew it, Gu Nian had walked in front and started talking to the little Taoist priest.
Lin Baozhu followed behind, her eyes flashing.
She glanced down at Fang Tong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and gritted her teeth. "Since you're already dead, why didn't you just die cleanly? What soul, what sense? Her heart is in her body. It's hers, and no one can take it away!"
Kill her, as long as he kills her completely, this heart will belong to her completely, and all the happiness points that were stolen will be returned. A hint of excitement flashed across Lin Baozhu's eyes.
The dagger hidden in her sleeve flashed its sharp edge, and she stabbed directly at the person in the wheelchair.
However, the next moment, "Fang Tong" opened her eyes.
Lin Baozhu screamed and dodged backwards in a hurry, dropping the dagger in her hand to the ground. She pointed at the person in the wheelchair in horror and said incoherently: "What's going on? Why are you still alive? No, no, you are dead. Fang Tong is dead. She died in that mental hospital a long time ago. You are not Fang Tong, yes, you are definitely not her!"
"Who are you? Who are you?" Lin Baozhu shouted hysterically.
And "Fang Tong" just looked at her quietly.
Lin Baozhu's happiness value is rapidly decreasing.
Five, four, three, two, one, zero, and still falling!
Black hands stretched out from the ground and grabbed Lin Baozhu's legs. Those hands shrouded in black mist were dry and thin, but extremely powerful. Lin Baozhu struggled desperately but could not break free.
With tears on her face, she reached out to Gu Nian: "Save me, please save me!"
Gu Nian raised his foot and walked towards Lin Baozhu.
Then, he bent down and picked up the dagger she had dropped.
Lin Baozhu's eyes instantly changed from joy to despair. She shook her head desperately and said sternly: "You can't do that! This is my heart, my heart!"
There was a flash of white light, and her voice stopped abruptly.
Gu Nian didn't even look at the direction where Lin Baozhu disappeared. She found the nearest door, opened it with the key and went in. A moment later, she walked out empty-handed.
When she came out, "Fang Tong" who was originally in the wheelchair had disappeared, leaving only the stunned little Taoist priest and Xie Han who still had no expression.
The young Taoist stammered, "You, you,"
Gu Nian guessed, "Did I go too far?"
The young Taoist priest quickly shook his head: "No, no, good fortune and misfortune come from within, but only from one's own actions. This is not Mr. Gu's fault. Mr. Xie has already told me about this. Miss Fang Tong is still waiting for help."
Gu Nian nodded: "Then what do you want to say?"
The young Taoist priest said a little embarrassedly: "I want to say, Mr. Gu, you are very powerful."
If he were to encounter such a situation, he would definitely not know what to do. Just like this time going down the mountain for training, he came to save people, but ended up not saving anyone, and he still couldn't help much. Master was right, he still had a lot to learn.
Gu Nian looked at the young Taoist priest's admiring eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, I was just like you at first. I knew nothing. Then I met the dean. Oh, the leader of our unit. He's a very wise man. If you just spend some time with him, you'll know everything."
The young Taoist priest was full of longing: "Really?"
Gu Nian nodded, reached into his pocket and took out a wrinkled business card, and handed it to the young Taoist priest: "After you get out, you can contact this person, and then you can see our dean more often."
The young Taoist priest carefully put the business card away.
Xie Han next to him glanced at the business card and twitched his lips. This business card was the one that Qi Yan had given to Gu Nian when he gave it to Ke Lele. He also had one.
Then he was suddenly called out by Gu Nian.
Gu Nian said: "By the way, you too, remember to report to the sanatorium when you get out. Your father has already agreed." When she took Xie Han away before, Xie Zhengguo agreed in person.
Xie Han did not comment on this.
Gu Nian didn't care, since the person couldn't escape anyway.
The incident at the park had taught her that there was no such thing as a completely safe place in this world. Before coming here, besides Fang Tong's incident, she had also wanted to see if this so-called park was truly that safe, but the result had left her deeply disappointed.
After much thought, the most reliable way is to completely eliminate the pollution core. However, there are too few people with special abilities in the Special Affairs Bureau, so we must find a way to recruit more people.
Although Xie Han cannot move, he is a brain evolver and can still play a big role. Although the little Taoist priest's ability is a bit metaphysical, it is better to have it than not.
Facing the little Taoist priest's grateful gaze, Gu Nian gave a kind smile.
The three of them caught up with the psychic in front.
When he arrived at the place where the psychics exchanged information, Gu Nian understood the current situation.
These psychics used the same method they had used last time at the Third Mental Hospital: they investigated the information of everyone in Paradise, searching for anyone who might be the core of the contamination. However, this time, the situation was obviously different from the last time. Paradise's screening was very strict, and unsurprisingly, they found nothing.
After taking a look around, Gu Nian noticed that Xie Zhengguo and the psychic who protected him were not here, and Lin Rongbin and his son who accepted his protection were not there either.
No one knew where these people went.
Just as she was thinking, Gu Nian was suddenly bumped into by someone. She frowned slightly and looked up at the person who had bumped into her. But the person had already hurried away, leaving only their back. The other person was very fast and seemed to be a psychic as well.
Gu Nian looked down at his hand, where a note was stuffed.
She didn't say anything. She asked the Taoist priest and Xie Han to find a deserted place. Then she opened the note and checked it. There was only one sentence written on it: "3:00 AM, Paradise Mall."
The note was in printed form, and the identity of the sender could not be identified.
Gu Nian and Xie Han looked at each other and spoke almost at the same time.
"Xie Wenze."
"It should be Xie Wenzhe."
