Chapter 261. World Best Psychiatrist
TN:- Sorry for delay. Busy time. I will update daily this week. 5 chapters today.
!!!WARNING!!! This chapter contained self harm, readers discretion is advised
The three tragedies were finally solved. As soon as Fan Jialuo and Song Rui stepped out of the police station, they were surrounded by reporters waiting outside. The flashes of camera lights were like stars, turning the almost dark dusk into daylight.
Fan Jialuo naturally took Song Rui’s hand, using his magnetic field to protect him, and walked out slowly.
These frantic reporters tried to pounce on them, block their path, and grab their clothes, but each time they were pushed away by some inexplicable force, and in the end they could only stand obediently at a safe distance and watch them walk away.
Fan Jialuo was still the same Fan Jialuo, indifferent, aloof, and out of tune with this world.
The reporters were unwilling to give up, but they could only follow behind the two, constantly asking loudly, “Teacher Fan, how did you know that the real culprit was Zhang Yang?”
“Teacher Fan, why could Zhang Yang change his appearance? Is he also a mutant like Ma You?”
“Teacher Fan, how many people has Zhang Yang killed in total? This isn’t his first crime, is it?”
“Teacher Fan, what will the higher-ups do with Zhang Yang? Has the Zhang family already collapsed? It’s said that the Zhang Group has been seized and all the top executives have been taken away by the authorities. Is this news true?”
“Teacher Fan, aren’t you uncomfortable going five days and five nights without food or water?”
“Teacher Fan……”
The repeated calls of ‘Teacher Fan’ did nothing to stop Fan Jialuo’s steps, on the contrary, they made him walk faster and faster, leaving everyone far behind.
One of the reporters, sent by a paparazzi studio, had a different style from everyone else. Realizing he couldn’t run any further, he could only shout at the top of his lungs, “Teacher Fan, is Dr. Song your boyfriend?”
The shout was drowned out by the cacophony of questions and shouldn’t have been heard by Fan Jialuo, who was quite far away. But at that moment, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and his gaze swept over everyone before settling precisely on that paparazzi. He didn’t give a definite answer, but simply pursed his crimson lips and let out a faint smile.
That smile was indescribable, yet it was as warm as the winter sun. The paparazzi remained stunned for a long while before he could pull himself out of that breathtaking moment.
He had always thought of Teacher Fan as mysterious, cold, aloof, and unbreakable, but just now, in that brief moment, he seemed to glimpse a soul that was as tender as could be. Teacher Fan he had imagined seemed to be just an ordinary person with flesh and blood.
Fan Jialuo withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward, while Song Rui, who was being led by the hand, turned his head to stare at the paparazzi, a pleased smile on his face as well.
Song Rui quickly turned his head, put his arm around Fan Jialuo and walked forward, but then received a phone call that surprised him greatly.
A voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and much older, came through the microphone, “Song Rui, what is your relationship with Fan Jialuo? Is he really your boyfriend? Are you two dating?”
Song Rui glanced quickly at the person beside him and nodded without any guilt, “Yes, DaBo.”
He had expected the stubborn old man to fly into a rage and try his best to stop him, but to his surprise, the old man only remained silent for a moment before chuckling, “Good, it’s good to have company. Bring him home to visit when you have time.”
Song Rui chuckled softly and nodded in agreement.
All past grievances, misunderstandings, and rejections vanish at this moment——
After gaining his freedom, Fan Jialuo immediately went to the school to pick up Xu Yiyang. The child hadn’t seen his Gege for a long time and was filled with longing, but he was tongue-tied and couldn’t express it. He could only circle around his Gege like a puppy, rubbing his head against his Gege’s head from time to time, and nudging Dr. Song’s shoulder with his forehead.
Song Rui ruffled his hair, his eyes and brows filled with a gentle smile.
Seeing how well they got along, Fan Jialuo couldn’t suppress the smile on his face.
“Going home?” Song Rui asked in a low voice.
“Let’s go to the hospital and see the three survivors.” Fan Jialuo said, waving his hand.
Without saying a word, Song Rui drove to the hospital and completed the visitation procedures.
Before the three even approached the ward, they heard a commotion inside. Pushing open the door, they found a young girl standing on a high windowsill, holding a fruit knife, seemingly ready to jump at any moment. Her wrist had been cut, a shallow gash from which blood was gushing, but her face showed no pain, only a blank expression of grief and deep despair.
Her family was all dead, falling one by one, their hearts ripped out and devoured. Her mother, with her last ounce of strength, pushed her out of the house, locked her outside, and then ran headlong into that hand covered in black, sharp nails. She used her body to block the door, and her heart to hold back the monster’s advance.
The girl heard the sounds of bones breaking, blood splattering, and the groans of dying people, but she could do nothing. She didn’t run away, instead, she frantically pounded on the door, shouting, “Come out! Come out and kill me!”
Her mother was willing to risk her life for her, and so was she.
But when the police arrived and broke down the door, all she saw were corpses strewn across the floor. Their chests all had gaping holes, and inside were no more the beating hearts that would love her forever. At that moment, her heart died too.
She pointed the fruit knife at the person trying to approach her, and kept backing away, preparing to jump off the building, which was more than ten stories high.
Song Rui immediately asked the medical staff beside him, “Has she watched TV or used a computer these past few days? Does she know that the case has been solved?”
“No, she just lies in bed all day, lost in thought, like she’s lost her soul, and doesn’t care about what’s going on outside at all.”
Song Rui nodded, having already devised a negotiation plan in those brief ten seconds. But before he could speak, Fan Jialuo had already pushed Xu Yiyang out of the room, locked him outside, and then stepped forward, saying calmly, “Do you want revenge before you die?”
The girl then noticed two strangers in the room. No, not exactly strangers, one of them looked far too familiar, wasn’t that the monster who had killed her entire family?
The word ‘revenge’ was like a long nail, piercing her chaotic mind, emptying her intense, reckless will to die, and giving rise to a crazy idea.
“I’ll kill you!” Without thinking, she jumped off the windowsill and charged at Fan Jialuo, brandishing a fruit knife.
The medical staff standing guard on either side of the window tried to stop her, but were pushed aside by an inexplicable force. Song Rui had just raised his foot, preparing to stand in front of Fan Jialuo, when he was pulled behind.
Fan Jialuo faced the murderous-looking girl head-on, casually grasping her hand holding the knife, then pinning the back of her head and pulling her into his arms. His body was icy cold, causing the girl to struggle violently.
However, soon a gentle breeze enveloped her, softly crawling over her stiff back, gently stroking her scalp, and then seeping into her brain and heart, slowly and thoroughly drawing out the pain, sorrow, anger, and despair that had nowhere to go.
The girl, who had been struggling frantically, gradually quieted down. Her ferocious expression softened into a dazed look, which then turned into confusion.
Since entering the hospital, she has not uttered a single word or shed a single tear.
Her body felt hollowed out, her heart was gone, her soul was gone, her thoughts and intentions were gone. She was alive, but dead.
Medical staff visit her every day and clearly foresee that if she cannot resolve her inner pain, she will eventually destroy herself. But the suffering she has endured is so devastating, how could it possibly be resolved? Even if she finds the best psychiatrist in the world, it will be very difficult for her to fully recover. It will require ten, twenty years, or even a lifetime of effort.
But now, the girl who was once so numb that she lost all senses and emotions is lying in the arms of her ‘enemy’ and silently weeping, and the tears are piling up, threatening to burst forth.
Trapped in a nightmare, she struggled desperately, unable to find a way out. But the person who held her opened the door hidden in the darkness, letting in the sunlight.
She went from silently weeping to wailing, and through her blurry tears, looking at the gentle-looking man, she said haltingly but firmly, “You are not him.” As she finished speaking, the fruit knife in her hand fell to the ground.
Without watching the live stream or reading the news reports, she knew from her intuition alone that the monster who killed her entire family was definitely not the person standing before her. Although they had the same face, they exuded completely different auras——one cold and evil, the other warm and peaceful.
Fan Jialuo gently brushed her eyes with his palm and whispered softly, “Your life was given to you by your mother with her own heart. From now on, you must cherish her burning heart and live well.”
The girl’s crying paused, but she was unwilling to agree.
Fan Jialuo grasped her wrists, bringing her two empty hands together, palms facing upwards, in a supporting gesture. Then, he held his own palm above them and said gently, “Did you sense it?”
“What?”
The girl’s face was blank, then her eyes widened, her mouth opened, and she showed a look of astonishment. She sensed something unseen gradually gathering in her palm. It was very soft and warm, like a cloud or something else. But soon, it began to pulsate, so slightly, yet so steadily and powerfully.
The girl stared in disbelief at her empty hands, which seemed to be holding something.
“This is, this is……” As soon as she opened her mouth, tears that she had just stopped flowing again rushed out.
“This is something your family entrusted to you for safekeeping. Cherish it.” Fan Jialuo patted the girl’s head, then turned and walked away.
He pushed open the door and saw Xu Yiyang, who was puffing up in anger, and couldn’t help but chuckle twice.
This gentle, soft laugh jolted the girl awake like a thunderclap, causing her clasped hands to tremble uncontrollably. She felt it, beating in her palms was a heart, alive, warm, and filled with endless blessings and love.
Through it, she felt her mother’s strong call, which gradually coalesced into two powerful words——Live well!
Live well, for the sake of all your loved ones, otherwise how can you face your mother who blocked the door with her body and sacrificed her heart to the devil?
This thought illuminated the girl’s heart like the blazing sun, burning away the wounds that might never heal in her lifetime, turning them into scars and stopping the gushing blood. It also made her suddenly press her palms against her chest, placing that invisible, beating heart into her already empty chest cavity.
She collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face, but her eyes held an unprecedented resolve. She had died before, but now she was alive again, and from this day forward, her heart would be stronger than steel.
“Doctor, can you bandage my wound?” She offered her bloodied and mangled wrist.
Completely unaware of what had happened, the medical staff quickly gathered around and began to treat her wounds.
She added, “Could you help me call the police? I need to change my statement. The murderer isn’t Teacher Fan, I’m sure of it. I must have been mistaken that night.”
The medical staff were taken aback for a moment, then explained, “No need for that. The case has been solved, and now the whole country knows that Teacher Fan is not the murderer.”
“How was it solved? Who is the murderer?” The girl asked anxiously.
“Teacher Fan did a live broadcast……” The nurse’s words gradually faded under the glare of a doctor. They were afraid that the girl would be further agitated.
“Live stream? Can I watch it?” The girl’s expression remained firm and composed.
“Aren’t you afraid?” The doctor asked, looking at her with a complicated expression.
The girl pressed her strong heart against her chest and shook her head, saying, “I’m not afraid anymore.”
Because there are people like Teacher Fan in this world!
Fan Jialuo visited two other survivors. They were both very emotional at their first meeting, but after a brief interaction, they calmed down and their mental state improved significantly.
The doctor who had been by her side the whole time realized that there was no need to look elsewhere for the best psychiatrist in the world, wasn’t Teacher Fan the one?
Before leaving the hospital, Fan Jialuo visited the girl again and earnestly asked, “Do you need to forget this painful experience? I can help you.”
The girl shook her head decisively and sincerely thanked them. The other two survivors also chose to retain their memories.
Fan Jialuo was not surprised by this. As he walked out of the rehabilitation building, he couldn’t help but look back and sighed, “Humans are the only creatures in the world that remember pain. That’s one of the reasons why they live such wonderful lives.”
Song Rui saw a sense of awe and longing for life in his eyes, and couldn’t help but tighten his grip on his hand——
Zhang Yang’s conspiracy failed, but instead, it reshaped Fan Jialuo’s image, making him appear even more radiant and revered in the eyes of the people. Because of his existence, even when monsters and demons like the mutants appeared in the world, people did not panic.
After a period of turmoil, Beijing had returned to its usual calm, but the matter was far from over.
Zhang Yang refused to reveal where the fruit used to make the blue drug grew, leaving the government unable to eradicate this strange plant. It was classified as a new type of drug, its danger far exceeding. However, Zhang Yang provided a roundabout address, instructing Chief Yan to dispatch troops to investigate.
“If you want to know the truth, the people inside will tell you. By the way, bring plenty of troops, fully armed, this guy is not easy to deal with.” Zhang Yang warned cautiously.
Chief Yan, adhering to the principle of better safe than sorry, summoned an army that very night and surrounded the place.
It was a very old Western-style house, standing in the middle of nowhere, the only one of its kind for miles around, with no other buildings nearby. Therefore, when the convoy approached, the people living in the house quickly spotted them.
The other party completely ignored Chief Yan’s call for him to surrender, and instead broke through the back window and fled into the dark forest.
Chief Yan immediately ordered the guns to be fired. He originally intended only to shoot the man through his legs to stop him, but he found that the bullets hit him as if they were hitting metal sheets, ricocheting and even sparking. This bizarre scene stunned everyone.
“This is another mutant! Fire! Fire! Everyone, fire!” Chief Yan made a decisive decision.
A hail of bullets rained down on the sprinting figure, quickly tearing his clothes to shreds. He ran until he was naked, his body covered not with strong muscles, but with a layer of dark brown, charred skin.
Every bone in his body was clearly visible through that thin layer of skin. He wasn’t a human, he was a mummified corpse!
