Chapter 44 Gu Nanqiu: Danger
Upon entering the house, Yue Yiyue poured a glass of warm water and placed it in front of Gu Nanqiu.
Although it seems that he needs it more than Gu Nanqiu.
The victim, who had received the threatening love letter, sat on the sofa looking annoyed, repeatedly muttering, "It's so annoying, so disgusting."
I kept glancing at my phone, waiting for a reply from the property management.
Yue Yiyue, who had just experienced this incident, sat on the opposite sofa. She stared somewhat awkwardly at the water glass on the table, her mind a mess, and strange noises occasionally reaching her ears.
She felt unusually anxious, and even had an urge to bang her head against the wall.
Upon seeing the cake, Yue Yiyue was certain that the plot had officially entered its second act, because of a series of coincidences, the monster had fallen in love with Gu Nanqiu.
So, together with Box Head, they wanted to take Gu Nanqiu to Chaos.
But in the previous storyline involving the box head, it was she who was being chased.
It could only be that during the few days she disappeared, something happened on Gu Nanqiu's side that he didn't tell her.
If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
On the other hand, Gu Nanqiu's allure remains as strong as ever.
"Yiyue, I saw such disgusting stuff, it's so annoying, you have to make it up to me." Gu Nanqiu pouted, curling up pitifully in a ball, trying to make her 173cm height look less big: "I looked at your schedule, you're free on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, so you'll come with me to class. In return, I'll come with you on Monday and Tuesday when I don't have class. Wednesday's class is an easy one, so I skipped it to go with you."
Upon hearing this, Yue Yiyue fell silent for a moment, suddenly thinking of her boss and her same-sex lover.
"..." Thinking of this, Yue Yiyue handed over the beautifully packaged candy with laser prints: "You have a full schedule on Monday and Tuesday. Although your class on Wednesday is a less demanding one, the teacher will still take attendance. I'll spend time with you on Wednesday and Thursday when I don't have any classes."
"Yay!" Gu Nanqiu excitedly rushed over, nuzzling Yue Yiyue as usual: "That class is really boring, but if you come with me, I believe it will be very interesting!"
Yue Yiyue simply smiled and patted Gu Nanqiu's head.
Her eyes held a hint of worry and a touch of uncertainty about the future.
Another strange sound came from beside my ear...
At this moment, Yue Yiyue felt extremely insignificant.
She felt as if she had been thrown into icy water, sinking and sinking and sinking...
She should go to the hospital, Yue Yiyue thought to himself.
————
The next morning, Yue Yiyue took a car to the mental hospital recommended by the police station.
This time she didn't go with Gu Nanqiu. When she left, she only told Gu Nanqiu that she had something to do and asked Gu Nanqiu to wait for her at home.
Please, please do not go out unnecessarily.
Gu Nanqiu didn't say anything, only that she would cook a meal and wait at home.
After thanking the driver, Yue Yiyue looked up at the gleaming gold sign of Hope Attachment, which looked quite impressive.
This hospital looks like it has a long history. The old buildings have cracks left by time, and there are murals on the walls. They are faded, and you can only see some specks of blue. You can barely make out that they depict the sea.
The huge trees on both sides, the ivy climbing all over the walls, and the strong smell of disinfectant.
Although it was a holiday, there were still quite a few people coming to see the doctor.
Most of them, holding their settlement slips, walked out with relaxed brows and cheerful expressions.
I heard it every now and then, but thankfully it was all a false alarm.
Or they are praying earnestly, thanking the great God for giving believers a new life.
Looking at those people, Yue Yiyue felt genuinely happy for them.
"Hello, Ms. Yue Yiyue, please take the elevator over there to the twelfth floor. That leads to the psychological counseling room. The doctor you booked today is on leave, so we have sent another excellent doctor instead." The nurse at the information desk smiled kindly and pointed out the way to Yue Yiyue.
"Thank you." Yue Yiyue gave the nurse a forced smile. She turned and took out her phone from her pocket, pretending to answer a call as she walked outside. "Yes, that's right, I'm here. What? It's urgent? Okay, okay, I'll be right there..."
As he spoke, Yue Yiyue quickly ran outside.
It's not that Yue Yiyue is sick.
Instead, without her showing her medical card or giving the other party any of her information, her name was inexplicably given out, and she was told that she had been changed to a different doctor.
Everyone thinks this is a bit outrageous.
Damn it, has she unknowingly entered some weird place again?
Moreover, even though she was running towards the outside, the exit was getting further and further away from her.
The noise from the people around him seemed to be muffled by a layer of bubbles, and Yue Yiyue couldn't hear anything clearly no matter what he did. His cries for help went unanswered.
The colors before my eyes grew bluer and bluer, just like the mural I'd only caught a fleeting glimpse of at the entrance.
The surrounding crowds were getting further and further away.
Yue Yiyue's vision became increasingly blurry as he looked at the things in front of him.
Damn it, damn it.
What exactly happened?
She shouldn't have come out behind Gu Nanqiu's back.
This part is not in the plot.
To conserve his energy, Yue Yiyue stopped running.
As soon as it stopped, the surrounding environment immediately began to rotate and reorganize.
The glass window kept stretching and twisting.
Until all sunlight is blocked.
Finally, it turned into a long corridor that resembled a coffin.
Behind them stretched an endless expanse of black.
There was only an orange door in front of her, clearly telling Yue Yiyue that she had only one choice.
Open it.
You can only open it.
Yue Yiyue pressed his ear against the door, trying to hear what was happening inside.
Perhaps this way she can find out what's waiting for her inside.
Unfortunately, whether it was because the door was too soundproof or because there was no noise inside, Yue Yiyue didn't hear anything.
She stood at the door for a long time, hesitating.
I took out my phone and saw that there was indeed no signal.
However, Yue Yiyue still edited a text message to briefly explain her situation and set it to be sent automatically.
If Gu Nanqiu receives this message, there's no need to worry too much about her; they might even be able to find a place to collect her body.
After doing all this, Yue Yiyue stood still, took a deep breath, and pushed open the orange door in front of him.
————
An ergonomic chair, a sturdy solid wood table, and a pot of flowers whose name I don't know.
And sitting there was someone I'd met before.
The forensic doctor placed his hands on the table and casually looked up at Yue Yiyue.
Seeing that it was a forensic doctor, Yue Yiyue was a little confused. She looked back and saw that the orange door had disappeared.
There is no way out.
Okay.
She walked to the only sofa in the room and sat down.
The forensic doctor wore a new pair of light-colored gold-rimmed glasses and a white coat today.
Yue Yiyue saw the sign she was holding to her chest, which read "Hope First Affiliated Hospital Psychology Department - Forensic Medicine".
"You're very interesting."
This was the forensic doctor's first sentence.
Then came the question: "Aren't you curious why I'm here? Or rather, don't you find it strange?"
"You must have something to tell me, but I don't like the way you're doing it. I hope you can use a more friendly approach next time," Yue Yiyue said sincerely.
The forensic doctor's lips curled into a mocking smile: "But the way you ran away just now was quite amusing. I wasn't planning on teasing you."
But if you come alone, she will definitely not let this opportunity pass.
After all, there aren't many opportunities to truly scare Yue Yiyue, this little madman.
This time, as always, it failed.
"Okay, based on your needs, I'll provide you with psychological counseling. Do you need hot water or a blanket?"
"Or should I apologize for teasing you like that?"
"No need, thank you." Yue Yiyue didn't think the forensic doctor was being so kind, but she really wanted to know why he had come. So she put on a show of being attentive and at least didn't let him think she was being annoying.
"Patient, Yue Yiyue, age 21, female, from K Province orphanage. She was almost adopted twice when she was a child, but was returned at the last minute for some reason. So she has no sense of security and has always played the role of an older sister. She longs to be relied on and hopes to mature into a completely independent adult."
The forensic doctor looked at the two thin pages in his hand. Yue Yiyue's life story was very simple. Ignoring the days when they fought each other in the game and had to join forces, she only had two things to do: study and work.
Of course, occasionally the appearance of a certain person would bring her a little joy.
These things, of course, cannot be said.
"You have stated that you have been experiencing hallucinations and auditory hallucinations recently, and you are also experiencing difficulties in your interpersonal relationships."
In that instant, Yue Yiyue realized that the forensic doctor was not a person from the world in the book.
"Why do you have this information?" Yue Yiyue asked, somewhat puzzled. A forensic doctor wouldn't reveal this information for no reason.
Was it a reminder to her not to get too attached to this place, and that she should go back?
"These are all things you told me before." The forensic doctor didn't keep Yue Yiyue in suspense and gave him a smile that could be described as kind.
“I owe you a favor, so I’m here to help you out.” The forensic doctor leaned back in his chair, tapping the chair rhythmically with his hand. “You’ve always treated this like a novel, dutifully playing the role of cannon fodder, trying to break free from your original path, but you’ve failed every time. So why don’t you just follow the rules here and simply watch the show?”
"Is it because you love Gu Nanqiu that you're unwilling?"
While still pondering what the forensic doctor was talking about, Yue Yiyue suddenly heard Gu Nanqiu's name. She paused for a moment, then immediately denied it: "No, no, I don't have those kinds of thoughts about her."
Yue Yiyue subconsciously bit her finger, completely baffled as to why the other person would say such a thing, but she still voiced her thoughts: "You would develop feelings for a character in a novel, even knowing that you'll be gone once the story ends?"
The person who sent the text message said that she would go back after a while.
Therefore, she will not fall in love.
"So what are you doing now?"
The forensic doctor's words struck Yue Yiyue like a blunt object, blatantly mocking his past actions.
Even what she had just said seemed pale and laughable.
How could she not have selfish motives?
According to Yue Yiyue's plan, if she hadn't died in the third year of college, she would have switched to studying computer science.
After she becomes financially independent and pays off the money owed to her mother in this body, she will choose the same industry as Gu Nanqiu and join the company she works for.
Then she could stand proudly beside Gu Nanqiu, instead of becoming a ticking time bomb.
"You have no psychological problems. Ignore your vicious paranoia and your tendency to avoid your true thoughts. Other than that, you have no problems."
"Yue Yiyue, you're not really eighteen years old. There's a lot more you can do here than you think, as long as you follow the rules."
The forensic doctor's words echoed in Yue Yiyue's ears like the serpent tempting Eve to eat the poisoned apple.
You can distinguish between true and false for yourself.
“We are the same kind of people, so I’m here to remind you that your hands are strong and nimble.”
"When you pick up an axe and chop at those monsters, you never have any extra emotions."
"You said that even if it meant death, you would protect your sister."
"Yue Yiyue, you have never been weak. I hope that when I see you next time, you won't be in such a sorry state."
younger sister......
Something deep inside my head seemed to be struggling to break free, but it was being held back by something else.
In an instant, Yue Yiyue felt a headache coming on, and his face turned pale.
"Don't dwell on the past. When the time comes, your mother will naturally remind you. What you need to do now is go through it all. Be there for Gu Nanqiu as she accepts her punishment and helps her return to her former life."
"What exactly did we go through together?" Yue Yiyue felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and the figures of the people in front of her were becoming more and more blurry. She struggled to wake up and wanted to ask more questions, but it was all in vain.
In the end, only a sliver of light was seen.
A soft ray of light enveloped Yue Yiyue's body.
Gu Nanqiu's gentle voice reached my ears.
Don't think about anything.
"You don't need to worry about anything."
"Yiyue, get a good night's sleep."
The forensic doctor glanced at his watch and saw that Yue Yiyue's SAN value, which had been below 40, had finally begun to rise steadily.
Ye Qiu leaned against the doorway, looking at the forensic doctor with a headache: "I really don't feel comfortable entrusting this matter to you."
"But it's still better than my baby, right? She still remembers that Yue Yiyue killed all the little snacks she raised and almost killed me."
"But you'll feel good about this again, since Yue Yiyue went crazy like this to pull you out of the endless chaos and punishment."
