Chapter 62: Dissociation

Xu Qinglang had originally planned to perform a ritual for Chief Zhao so he could leave peacefully. That was the most he could do for him.

However, on second thought, Chief Zhao had been very peaceful when he left. He had even brought two books along because he worried the road to hell would be too boring.

Furthermore, the thousands of taxis and the cars that were organized by the public were enough to protect Chief Zhao. There was no need for him to make any arrangments for Chief Zhao.

“Old Zhou, he’s a very good person.” Xu Qinglang was smoking. The corners of his eyes were slightly red which made him look very pitiful.

“He left very generously.” Even though Zhou Ze was a doctor in his previous life and had saved many people, he did not think that he was any great. His profession was a doctor and saving lives was his responsibility.

Even though these ordinary and great people only did what was considered their own jobs in society, but the glory they had was boundless.

There were always some things that could move you and many others.

People often wondered if the eyes of the masses were clear. Apparently, the hearts of the 1,000 brothers who had formed a team to send the chief off were very bright.

“I’m going to rest.”

Xu Qinglang took out a tissue and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. He turned around and returned to his noodle shop. He wanted to drink some wine and have a good sleep. A strong person did not like to show his weakness to others.

After Zhou Ze finished smoking, he walked back to the bookstore. The little girl told him to improve his performance, but Zhou Ze was still as lazy as ever.

Because he really lacked some subjectivity. Moreover, Zhou Ze was also waiting for an outcome. What would happen to the person from Chengdu?

Even though Zhou Ze felt there was a low possibility that the other party would make a comeback, plus the little girl had returned to hell and released all the faceless women to help. Furthermore, she had also joined forces with many other ghostly servants.

But…

What if?

What if?

Yeah, what if!

Zhou Ze even considered and looked forward to it. If the person from Chengdu killed the little girl, wouldn’t the position of the little girl fall to him instead?

Dreams were necessary…

Zhou Ze retrieved his phone and dialed a number. It was the contact of an old Daoist.

After treating the old Daoist to a meal, the two did not contact each other again.

No one answered the call. Zhou Ze put down his phone but the other party quickly called back.

“Hey, brother, I’m not in Tong City right now. I’m in Xu City. What’s the matter?”

“Oh.” Zhou Ze originally wanted the old Daoist to remind that person to be careful. But after giving it a second thought, he did not waste his breath or nag too much and hung up the phone.

The old Daoist on the other end must be confused.

In that dream, the young man obviously knew that he had been targeted, so his warning was unnecessary.

The person would know what to do.

With a lazy stretching, the little girl woke up and returned to her cute self. Then, her mother came back to pick her up after her hair appointment.

It could be seen that her mother’s hair very successfully done. There was no major changes, but her whole face was glowing. It was like dew had fallen on the stamens of summer. It made her look more mature and delicate.

When she got out of the car and walked, she took bigger steps than usual.

That day should have ended there. Zhou Ze had originally planned to take a shower and then prepare for his business tonight.

The girl said that keeping the zombie, Bai Yingying, by his side was equivalent to adding a lampshade to his incandescent lamp. It would affect the probability of encountering a ghost. However, Zhou Ze did not have the intention to send Bai Yingying away.

Sleeping with the freezer was not as comfortable as sleeping with Bai Yingying.

Furthermore, ghosts kept coming to the bookstore even with Bai Yingying around. Zhou Ze was getting frustrated. He would probably have to deal with a lot more ghosts if Bai Yingying was not around.

Zhou Ze felt he had fallen into depravity. In his previous life, he was so ambitious.

In this life, he only wanted to pass the time, but this kind of lazy and aimless feeling, apart from reading books, was a truly relaxing life.

How comfortable…

When Zhou Ze asked Bai Yingying to help him change his clothes and prepare to take a shower, someone pushed open the door. Zhou Ze turned around and was slightly surprised by this person’s arrival because his daughter and wife had just left the store.

“I’m here to visit and see how you’re doing.”

Wang Ke naturally pulled out a plastic stool and sat on it. At the same time, he gestured for Zhou Ze to sit opposite him.

He had his own psychiatric hospital and his fees were very expensive. The fact that he took the initiative to visit Zhou Ze and treat him for free signifies that he was giving Zhou Ze a lot of face.

Of course, this was partly because of the former Zhou Ze and partly because Zhou Ze had saved his daughter.

Zhou Ze sat down opposite Wang Ke.

He tried his best to avoid looking at Wang Ke’s head.

Because green light was dense above Wang Ke’s head and it seemed like there was a myriad of horses galloping about.

Outside the bookstore’s computer, there was a small Bluetooth speaker that randomly played some pop music. At this time, it was Sun Yanzi’s Green Light.

Even random broadcasts were so cheeky.

“Tell me, how have you been recently?” asked Wang Ke.

“I think I’m fine. It’s not a big problem anymore,” Zhou Ze replied.

“I can tell that you’re very calm and at ease.” Wang Ke nodded.

However, both of them fell silent.

Zhou Ze was confused. He could tell that the other party did not come to visit him. That was just a cover.

“There’s something I want your help with,” said Wang Ke.

“Go ahead.”

Despite the relationship between the two of them in their past lives, the opinions and analyses that he had given for his treatment were enough to put Zhou Ze in debt for a favor.

“I have a client who has a split personality. Her problem is complicated and difficult to solve, so I need you to help me analyze it.”

“This shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Difficult.” Wang Ke laughed bitterly. “Her father is an important business partner of mine, and my hospital was only established because of his investment. If it was just helping the first personality eliminate the second personality or helping the second personality eliminate the first personality, I had a way and the ability to try. But the problem is complicated. To my partner, his daughter’s first personality is her daughter, but her second personality is very similar to his wife’s.”

“So…mother and daughter are living in the same body?”

“Yes, his wife passed away last year due to illness. He was very sad, and his daughter is only sixteen this year. I think it might be because the girl subconsciously denies the fact that her mother had passed. Therefore, she slowly ‘reincarnated’ into the image of his mother to accompany him. It would have been better if this problem had been discovered earlier, but it was already too late when it was discovered to be treated. The second personality had already taken shape and was very mature. During the day, she was the daughter, and at night, she was the mother. During the day, she would go to school and play computer games or watch television in her room. At night, she wanted to go to her father’s bedroom to rest. If my friend did not open the door, she would cry outside and say that he did not want to touch her anymore because he has a woman outside.”

“Interesting,” Zhou Ze said with a smile.

Wang Ke’s expression was slightly embarrassed. Zhou Ze’s evaluation made him feel slightly uncomfortable. It was very disrespectful to joke about a patient.

“Sorry.” Zhou Ze raised his hand to indicate that he had said something wrong, but he still said, “Then, how does your partner want to solve this problem?”

Was it to let his ‘wife’ die again?

Or could he make his daughter his wife?

Two choices for happiness.

Zhou Ze was also a doctor in his previous life, so logically, he shouldn’t be thinking about this with such a teasing attitude. However, in reality, Zhou Ze couldn’t be serious. Especially from Wang Ke’s narration, Zhou Ze had actually already discerned his father’s thoughts.

There were only three ways to solve the problem: keep your daughter, keep your wife, and keep both.

Of course, there was another extreme method. He would not leave either of them alive, but that was equivalent to killing them and eliminating them directly.

As a doctor, one should only be responsible for one’s patients.

In Zhou Ze’s previous life, when he was saving people in the hospital, he often encountered challenges from the outside world. For example, when a pregnant woman was diagnosed with acute inflammation, her family members actually stopped the doctor from taking a scan for her, claiming that they were afraid that it would affect the child’s health. However, the situation then was that the pregnant woman and the child might die because of the inflammation.

In this case, the so-called ‘wife’ was nothing more than a virtual persona. Her daughter had fallen ill because she missed her deceased mother.

Therefore, helping his daughter walk out of this mess and getting rid of the influence of the so-called second personality was the correct way to treat her.

However, Wang Ke was conflicted. This meant that his father had chosen the third option. He loved and missed his wife as well. So, he hoped he could both see his daughter and feel his wife was still alive in his daughter.

“He loves his wife very much,” Wang Ke said.

“But most of the time, love is a selfish disguise.”

“So, you’re not willing to help?”

“I don’t know how I can help you.”

“You’re the most perfect split personality case that I’ve ever seen. I think you should be able to communicate with that mother’s personality. To ensure that they remain harmonious in one body, the problem now is that the two personalities are becoming unstable. They would slowly cross and become confused. Then, she became another stranger. ”

“I’m sorry, I can’t do that.” Zhou Ze looked at Wang Ke. “Mr. Wang, I remember when my good friend Zhou Ze told me about you, he said that you were an upright and principled person.”

Wang Ke frowned slightly but he quickly came to an understanding and said, “People change. Without the investor’s help, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today.”

Wang Ke stood up. It seemed like he intended to leave. Since he could not invite Zhou Ze, then he had no reason to stay there.

“I remember I bought a lottery ticket and forgot to look at the winning number. Maybe I can win five million. I have to look now,” Zhou Ze suddenly said.

“That probability is too low,” said Wang Ke with a smile.

“The lottery scratch is like looking at a paternity test. Everyone knows this thing is useless, but you can’t help but look at it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ze smiled at Wang Ke and continued, “Right?”
