CHAPTER 432: WARNING

This was the known number. What about the unknown ones? How many ‘emotional-void’ monsters did they have? Several hundred? Several thousand?

If this power were used to do something, it would wreak great havoc.

At the same time, Fatty was thankful that the Doctor met Boss Lin, or else…

Lin Wan ‘Er gave Fatty an unreal feeling. She could read his thoughts by looking into his eyes.

“As I spent more time with him, I realised he was indeed different from the other kids.” Lin Wan ‘Er said, “He rarely showed interest in things. He showed no respect for the value of life. In other words, he was more detached and antisocial than we thought.

“When someone tried to talk to him, he would not understand the meaning of the communication. He only thought it was noisy. One time, I brought him to the hospital for a routine check. I went to handle some business. He was outside, waiting for me. A patient jumped from the roof and landed before him.

“The blood splattered on his body and face before dripping to the ground. Everyone screamed in fear, but he just stood there dumbly. He was not scared or panicked. He stood there and allowed the blood to dye his shoes red.

“Later, a nurse who was present told me that she saw the boy laughing. He was laughing at the ruined corpse before him. He seemed to be whispering to the dead man.” Lin Wan ‘Er said, “The nurse was frightened. When she told me these things, she kept glancing behind me.”

Fatty could guess that the nurse was scared of the Doctor suddenly appearing. Perhaps in her heart, he was a monster who was cruel and cold-blooded. He didn’t know fear or emotions.

This conversation unsettled Fatty. He tried to change the subject. “But the Doctor is okay now. He is loyal to Boss Lin and is very reliable. He is good to me, too.” Fatty added, “This is all thanks to Boss Lin. You’ve saved him.”

Lin Wan ‘Er looked at him and asked, “Do you think so?”

“Of course!”

For some reason, Fatty felt like Boss Lin had changed. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she merely shook her head.

“By the way.” Fatty suddenly asked, “Is the Doctor ill? When you mentioned him, it’s always at the hospital.” Fatty remembered that the Doctor once mentioned something like he only needed thirty seconds. He suspected something bad had happened to the Doctor when he was young. Did that deprive him of a specific bodily function? That was so scary.

“He was traumatised.” Lin Wan ‘Er didn’t avoid the topic. “Not physically, but here.” She pointed at her temple. “This was the diagnosis of a popular psychologist. He said that Xiao Cheng gave him a special feeling. There was a different persona guiding him. This could be caused by trauma, but the actual reason happened way too long ago.”

As confusing as it was, Fatty believed the psychologist wanted to say that the Doctor was mentally ill. He probably had schizophrenia. Fatty realised the Doctor was also a psychiatrist. He didn’t think a patient with mental illness would end up becoming a doctor.

“Because of his personality, he had trouble communicating with others. Plus, he suffered from some constant headaches that took away his memory. I bought some books to learn more about psychology. However, he showed interest in that. In fact, he was very talented.”

Fatty sighed internally. The Doctor’s life could be written into a book. The title could be the self-salvation of a schizophrenic orphan. It would be an awesome tearjerker. He could only include things that he could last for 30 seconds. It might chase away some female fans, but that was nothing.

Seeing Fatty’s expression, Lin Wan ‘Er narrowed her eyes. She seemed to understand Fatty’s thought, but not fully.

“The Doctor has had a tough life…” Fatty had many guesses about the Doctor’s past, but he didn’t think it would be this sad.

“Indeed.” Lin Wan ‘Er looked at Fatty and claimed, “That’s why I will not allow anyone to harm or trick him.”

“I agree!” Fatty didn’t seem to grasp the hidden meaning. He gripped his fists and promised. “I also will not allow anyone to harm the Doctor. As for tricking him…” Fatty turned around to promise Lin Wan ‘Er. “Boss Lin, you’re worried for no reason. With the Doctor’s brain, we should be thankful that he’s not out there tricking others.”

“Is that so?” Lin Wan ‘Er laughed happily. She looked up, revealing a warm glow in her eyes.
