"Didi."

The yellow warning light of the scanner illuminated, emitting red, linear light that reflected on Zhang Yuanqing's forehead.

The machine produced an electronic sound:

[Didi, commencing diagnosis of the ailment as...]

Zhang Yuanqing held his breath, anticipating the omnipotent medical machine's answer.

However, the electronic sound suddenly stalled. After a few seconds, it resumed:

[Didi, commencing diagnosis of the ailment as...]

[Didi, commencing diagnosis of the ailment as...]

[Didi, commencing diagnosis of the ailment as...]

The electronic sound repeated incessantly, looping back each time it was about to pronounce the ailment.

"Hmm?" The female doctor maintained the scanning gesture, glancing at the main unit and then at the t-shaped device in her hand, her expression blank.

Zhang Yuanqing was even more bewildered, with a hint of disappointment and anxiety, like when you invite your girlfriend to a bar for a heart-to-heart, everything is ready, and then she says, "I'm on my period."

Although he didn't have a girlfriend, that was the feeling.

"Is the machine broken?" Jiang Jingwei walked to the cylindrical machine and, without thinking, kicked it twice with a loud thud.

"Jingwei, don't kick it randomly!"

Li Dongze was startled, thinking that this was a high-level item that the Songhai Branch had purchased from the Le Shi family for a high price.

Support-type items weren't as sturdy and durable as combat-type items, and damage was common.

"When the appliances at home have problems, they get fixed after a few kicks."

Jingwei gave it two more "thud" kicks. The female doctor couldn't stand it anymore and barked sharply:

"You!"

[Didi System Restarting]

The detector emitted an electronic sound, the screen went dark, and then it lit up again, initiating the restart.

Jiang Jingwei grinned: "See, it gets better after a beating."

Teng Yuan pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, if you break it, the organization is obligated to reimburse you."

Li Dongze wore a helpless expression.

Guan Ya glanced at Yuan Shi Tianzun and chuckled: "I'm more curious about what's wrong with your body."

Zhang Yuanqing forced a smile and squeezed out a sentence: "Maybe it's Scorpio syndrome, or a fetish for black nylon stockings shaping the female human lower limbs."

Was this a coincidence? That the machine malfunctioned right at that moment?

He scanned his teammates. Their expressions were all very calm, probably thinking this was just an insignificant malfunction.

Only Wang Tai frowned tightly.

"Something's not right," he scratched his head, walked to the detector, tapped it, and opened the operating interface on the screen, studying it carefully. Scholars were future artificers, and Wang Tai had a high level of research accomplishment in items.

He fiddled with it for a long time and said, "It hasn't malfunctioned. And, considering the level of this item, it shouldn't malfunction. You might not know, but Le Shi profession items are the most durable, and this item has self-repair capabilities."

Hmm? Guan Ya and Li Dongze, both Scouts, frowned simultaneously and looked at Yuanshi, noticing that he himself looked bewildered.

At this moment, the detector finished restarting, and the female doctor said:

"Although I don't know what caused it, it seems to be fine now."

With that, she raised the scanner and aimed it at Zhang Yuanqing's forehead again.

Seeing this, the others stopped talking and silently observed.

The scanner's yellow light came on, and the electronic sound rang out again:

[Didi, commencing diagnosis of the ailment as didi, please do not simultaneously...]

The sound suddenly cut off.

"Looks like there's still a bit of a problem. Let me try again."

The female doctor frowned, put down the scanner, waited a few seconds, and raised it again, aiming it at Zhang Yuanqing's forehead.

The yellow light illuminated, and the electronic sound came:

[Didi, no ailment detected. Your body is in excellent condition. Please maintain... Diagnosis complete!]

Huff. The female doctor breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "No problem, your body is very healthy. Please continue to maintain it."

"Oh, oh!" Zhang Yuanqing got up, looked around at his teammates, and laughed: "Looks like my body is healthy too."

Guan Ya and Li Dongze exchanged glances, a knowing smile on their faces.

Wang Tai frowned tightly: "Something's not right. I just feel like this item is acting strangely today. Doctor, can I stay here and study it for a bit?"

The female doctor wore a stern expression: "No. This item is very valuable. It's not something you can just disassemble and study at will."

"Okay..." Wang Tai reluctantly gave up.

The group left the examination room. Li Dongze led the team toward the stairwell and said:

"The Enforcers are waiting for us on the second floor, and Chief Fu is there too. The next step is to check our mental state. In previous years, there was only a mental assessment. This year, they've added a lie detector."

He said these words to Yuanshi, as he was the only newcomer in the team.

But Zhang Yuanqing couldn't listen at all. The detector's voice echoed repeatedly in his mind:

The result of the first test was enough to show that it detected I was sick, and I am indeed sick, so there is no possibility of a malfunction. But why didn't it give the ailment?

Could it not give the ailment, or was there another reason? As for the second time, the key is the phrase "please do not simultaneously." That means that after the restart, the detector had already found my problem and was about to give a hint.

But then it suddenly stalled.

Please do not simultaneously what? What did it want to say?

The more Zhang Yuanqing thought, the heavier his heart grew, and the more he felt something was wrong.

All sorts of doubts flashed through his mind. Finally, he traced it back to the source and returned to the ailment itself—where did the headache come from?

The headache started suddenly one day, back when he was still in high school. One night, it suddenly hurt so much that he felt like he was dying, and blood flowed from his nose. His aunt and cousin quickly took him to the hospital.

As a result, they examined him from day to night, did every possible test, and the doctor said he was healthy and there was no problem.

At that time, his family didn't think much of it and told him to rest well. It wasn't until the second attack that the condition worsened, and Zhang Yuanqing was hospitalized. After hearing about it, his mother finally agreed to put down her work and focus a little bit of her energy on her son, taking him to various hospitals, but they couldn't find the cause. Finally, one day, his mother brought back a special medicine from abroad.

Not being able to find the cause is strange in itself. My mother didn't take me for an examination when she went abroad, but she was able to bring back a special medicine. Thinking about it now, it's even stranger...

And what's even stranger is that even a The Way of the Extraordinary item couldn't find the cause!

Could this be a normal illness?

While Zhang Yuanqing was pondering, the group arrived on the second floor. Compared to the first floor lobby, the space here was much smaller. More than twenty examiners and about the same number of guards made it seem very crowded at a glance.

Wang Tai's expression changed drastically. He looked a bit restrained and repulsed.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing's heart stirred, and he laughed:

"Brother Wang Tai, I remember there's a restroom on the first floor. Shall we go and relieve ourselves together?"

Wang Tai nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

Immediately, the two of them went down the stairs and returned to the first floor, entering the restroom.

Zhang Yuanqing opened each stall, confirming that no one was there. Then, he came to the urinal, took out his Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, and casually said:

"That detector is very magical. Is it of the Saint level?"

"Mm!" Wang Tai earnestly relieved himself.

Zhang Yuanqing asked again: "An item of this level should have self-awareness, right? My rule-type item has its own thoughts."

"Oh, it does." Wang Tai said, "It has self-awareness, existing in the form of artificial intelligence."

Sure enough, it was self-awareness. So it changed its tune just now, not wanting to reveal my ailment. Zhang Yuanqing's mood was complex. After they finished relieving themselves, they returned to the second floor. During the long wait, one official The Way of the Extraordinary after another completed their mental assessment. Most people passed, but a small number were marked and needed some mental counseling.

For example, some Fire Masters were too irritable and were diagnosed with severe mania.

Some Wood Demons were overly addicted to sex and needed mental counseling, along with medication, to restrain hormone secretion.

Some Scouts suffered from voyeurism.

Finally, it was the turn of the Second Team. The mental state of the Second Team members was worrying. Li Dongze had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, Guan Ya had cleanliness and negativity, and Jiang Jingwei was manic and easily angered.

Teng Yuan was pessimistic and negative, with moderate depression.

Finally, Wang Tai, who was diagnosed with moderate autism, walked out of the examination room and looked at Zhang Yuanqing on the long chair, saying:

"It's your turn."

Zhang Yuanqing immediately entered the examination room and saw a middle-aged doctor in a white coat sitting behind his desk.

"Please sit down!" The middle-aged doctor gestured for him to take a seat, and smiled:

"You must be Yuan Shi Tianzun. You're indeed a handsome man, a young talent. My surname is Sun. I'm an Enforcer in the Chao Men District, a Scout profession, a level 5 Saint, and also a Doctor of Psychology.

"I'm going to conduct a mental assessment on you now, just ask you a few simple questions."

He had a warm smile and deep eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.

An Enforcer-level psychologist. Damn, he's much more perceptive than Guan Ya's squad leader.

Zhang Yuanqing took a seat and said, "Okay."

Doctor Sun smiled: "Don't be nervous. I may ask some private questions,

but there are no cameras or eavesdropping devices here.

Besides me, no one will know. And I have my own professional ethics. I won't expose your privacy."

"Yuan Shi Tianzun, 21 years old, local to Songhai, rich family, owns a car, dead father, never had a girlfriend, special skill is 20cm." Zhang Yuanqing sincerely said: "Please be sure to expose it."

Doctor Sun paused for a moment and stared deeply: "You're a bit nervous, instinctively saying some strange things to lighten the atmosphere. I told you, don't be restrained. We're friends."

Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, knowing that joking around in front of a Saint-level Scout was pointless, so he said seriously:

"That was a joke. Let's begin then."

Doctor Sun nodded and asked:

"Do you usually like to watch action movies? I mean love-related action movies. If you like to watch them, what categories do you focus on, domestic or foreign? What age range of actors do you like? Do you fast-forward when watching the movies? After watching the movies, do you find a girlfriend or tissue?"

Zhang Yuanqing was stunned by the series of questions, thinking, "Did you put a surveillance camera in my house?

How can you ask so accurately? Hitting all the key points?"

ps: The Night Watcher chapter is already two-thirds finished. I made a detailed outline for a while today, so the update is late. The detailed outline is not finished, so I have to continue later.

Also, thank you Zhai Cai for the third Gold Alliance and Huan Yu for the Silver Alliance. I bow to the big shots.
