Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2773: Chapter 2768: Thirteen Days’ Talk (25)

To be fair, she’s still younger than Lady Trish.

The woman under the light looked only in her thirties, with hair even shorter than Jane’s.

But paired with her fairly decent features, she didn’t seem out of place, just gave an impression of neatness.

Of course, she might be younger, but in terms of appearance, there’s still a gap between her and Lady Trish.

Yet the neatness brought an extra affinity, making it hard to feel any bad impression.

Such a character being troubled by non-physiological toothache is indeed a surprising contrast, making one curious about what kind of extraordinary reason could be behind it.

”Is it not allowed?”

Amidst the commentary, Fu Qian responded smilingly to Lady Black House’s doubt.

”That’s your freedom, perhaps Servis would be happy to see you like this.”

Lady Black House’s articulation was also clear, with no sign of gum swelling.

However, a slight abnormal twitch of her jaw still subtly betrayed her.

Moreover, Fu Qian could assure that she had noticed the tear in the clothing, but until now hadn’t cared where the original owner went.

Just these actions seemed to convey some unusual psychological state.

”Does Servis really like new patients?”

Of course, the thing that pleased him the most was the other’s initiative to talk about the attending doctor.

”No, he likes new conditions.”

Even though Lady Black House’s impression of that person seemed mediocre, she just gave a cold snort.

”If I suddenly swallowed my finger, he might be very happy.”

...

It seemed quite pure indeed.

Even though Lady Black House had a poor impression of the attending doctor, Fu Qian had an additional opinion.

He didn’t seem like someone just muddling through here; on the contrary, he was genuinely interested in the human spirit world.

One could only say he seemed increasingly like a mad doctor.

And such a place was even more like a theme park.

Was Servis really the director?

Whether he was or not, according to this view, his current situation was exactly what the attending doctor hoped to see.

No longer muddling around waiting for someone to feed him, but suddenly transforming into an anti-social person.

Lady Black House made a valid point.

”Not even asking about the patient’s history? Wouldn’t that be a bit unprofessional?”

While Fu Qian was pondering, Lady Black House had already sat down again.

After scrutinizing his face for a moment, she couldn’t resist continuing to speak.

”It sounds reasonable, I believe it would be exciting too—so he did ask, right?”

To this, Fu Qian nodded slightly, gestured at his clothes, and took the initiative to mention the original owner of the clothes.

You...

Using exciting to describe a patient’s history is somewhat unfriendly, and Lady Black House’s face immediately tightened.

”He’s one of the only two people in the entire sanatorium who knows my story completely.”

But even so, the desire for relief still gave her extra patience to introduce the connection with Lady Trish’s male companion.

”Let me guess, the other one is Tong?”

Not surprising, Fu Qian even rubbed his chin, offering his own opinion.

”Why not Servis? He’s supposed to be the attending doctor here.”

This made the other party somewhat puzzled, asking what seemed to be a question Fu Qian should have asked.

”But you also said, he lacks patience for boring things.”

Fu Qian shook his head.

”If he were interested in your issues, you might not need anyone else’s help, right?”

...

It appeared to be so.

At that moment, Lady Black House remained silent, which Fu Qian took as acquiescence.

Integrity is fundamental, that was indeed just a guess.

Apart from Jane being likely to induce a protective urge, Lady Black House’s concern might not be without other reasons.

People who understand each other’s weaknesses are more likely to have sympathy for one another.

Additionally, requiring in-depth communication with other patients to solve problems, Lady Black House’s situation already sounded peculiar; perhaps the attending doctor only suggested conservative treatment.

”You’re right, I suddenly feel now that making you the third person might not be a bad idea...”

As expected, after a moment, the other party acknowledged Fu Qian’s statement.

Not stopping there, she even went on to acknowledge Fu Qian’s qualifications.

”Why not tell me about him first? In your impression, what kind of person is he?”

Unfortunately, this recognition encountered awkwardness in the next moment.

Fu Qian seemed not very eager to be the third person, more focused on the situation of the second person instead.

”Him? Actually, that’s also an interesting question.”

However, that seemed understandable, after all, Fu Qian was currently ”attempting to replace” this person’s role.

Lady Black House hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the suggestion.

”Although he appears shallow and wanton, pretentious, in my opinion, he’s a completely different kind of person from Trish.”

And the answer had a strong flavor of praise after criticism, with surprisingly high evaluations of that person.

”His core is contradictory, with a very deep level of self-hatred, he hates being that way.

”But his solution wasn’t to change but to make himself more hateful, to feel the true self from that hatred.”

...

Indeed, you can’t judge a book by its cover.

Listening attentively to Lady Black House’s explanation, at that moment, Fu Qian made a heartfelt exclamation.

Because of self-hatred, do you want to become more of what you despise?

It’s also a beautiful state of mind indeed.

Fu Qian didn’t doubt Lady Black House’s words too much.

Don’t forget he had speculated about the possibility of ”everyone being an evil person” before, and now it seems to be continuously confirmed.

Almost everyone, beneath their seemingly normal surface, harbors some inner darkness.

Why would the wild couple he first encountered have only Lady Trish as the unusual one?

As for why he was so focused on this issue?

Simple, to avoid phenomena that defy logic like the Well of Time, figuring out how exactly it appeared is undoubtedly the right path.

And Fu Qian felt he seemed to have found a thought path—when the dark side is triggered, a similar effect occurs?

Carefully recalling, he realized that when time jumped to 6 o’clock, Jane showed her confusion.

And when Lady Trish directly brought time to the 49th number, it was because of the expectation of the ”annual agreement.”

As for leaping directly to the third day afterward, it was the Recorder’s old man intensely pressuring his son with work.

Everyone had difficult heart knots, and all these changes almost could count as appearing as a result of breaking through the surface.

Wasn’t this too exaggerated?

At a certain moment, though Fu Qian got an answer, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Was this truly inner darkness or an inner black hole, causing the time flow to become irregular as one approaches?

Furthermore, if this conjecture is true, then not dealing a death blow to Lady Trish’s male companion at the very start might indeed have avoided some kind of potential risk.
