Chapter 261 Change

After hanging up the phone,

Zhou Ze subconsciously straightened his back.

He felt that,

a wave of pent-up frustration that he hadn't been able to release before had finally found an outlet.

At this moment, Wang Ke also came out of the ward and saw Zhou Ze waiting for the elevator. He walked over and said,

"You didn't even say goodbye before leaving."

Zhou Ze smiled, not explaining.

"I wanted to chat with you. She's already asleep. Do you have time?"

Zhou Ze really wanted to say that he had urgent matters to attend to, but he nodded and agreed.

Then, he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Lao Dao, telling him to keep an eye on the four guys and wait for him to return. He also reminded Lao Dao to ask Lawyer An if there were any torture methods they could use.

Seriously,

now that these four guys were in his hands,

how should he torture them to make them regret ever being born?

Zhou Ze really didn't have any specific methods.

Maybe it was because he used to be too kind to people, alas.

The two of them took the elevator to the third floor, which housed the hospital cafeteria. However, dinner service had already ended, and only a small supermarket and a coffee shop were still open.

They found a place to sit down.

Wang Ke ordered a coffee, and Zhou Ze asked for an ashtray. Since their table was by the window, the waiter didn't object and brought an ashtray over.

"You don't want the coffee here? You think it's bad?"

Zhou Ze nodded.

"Heh." Wang Ke chuckled, got up, went to the supermarket across the way, and bought a bottle of mineral water. "Drink mineral water, then."

A bottle of "Ice Dew" was placed in front of Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze really wanted to ask Wang Ke: Are you doing this on purpose?

"I heard my daughter mention some things about you. Although we haven't been in contact recently, I felt I needed to talk to you.

Our relationship doesn't require too much formality, right?"

"Right."

Zhou Ze guessed that Little Lori must have sent Wang Ke.

"Don't be hostile towards me. I'm a doctor. Well, actually, you have the ability to control your emotions. So, shall we get straight to the point?"

"Okay."

"Have you noticed that your personality and some habits are subtly changing?"

Zhou Ze put his hand to his lips, refraining from biting his nails.

Faced with this question, he instinctively wondered what Little Lori had told Wang Ke. Did Little Lori think that he, the boss, had changed too much?

Did his employees think he was changing?

But change always has a direction.

Which way was he changing?

Oh,

had he become simple-minded?

Wang Ke took a sip of his coffee. After giving Zhou Ze ample time to think, he continued,

"Actually, this is a very normal phenomenon. Unless a person is lying in a coffin all the time,

or in a state of eternal stagnation,

as long as they are active, as long as they are thinking, even if they are in solitary confinement,

their personality will constantly change. It's just that the magnitude of the change varies.

Unless you completely isolate yourself, when you come into contact with the world, the world is also assimilating you.

Let me give you an example.

Have you heard of,

the 'marriage face'?"

"Marriage face?"

"Yes, it's when a married couple lives together for a long time, their appearances change, giving people a harmonious feeling.

Moreover, their personalities will also influence and promote each other, because theoretically, excluding mistresses, lovers, and mama's boys and a series of special circumstances,

a husband and wife should be one of the closest partners in the world."

"And then?"

Zhou Ze lit a cigarette.

"No, bro, I still don't understand what you're trying to say."

"Rui Rui told me, and I have my own feelings too. Actually, your personality, your whole being, is being fused and changed by another existence.

Haven't you noticed?"

Zhou Ze's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Your aesthetics, your interests, your temperament, your habits, all aspects should be experiencing a chain reaction."

"I've noticed."

"Oh, that's good. Actually, your situation is more like a personality split. You came to me before. At that time, the situation was that you, Zhou Ze, my childhood friend from the orphanage, and another personality called 'Xu Le' were in conflict within one body?

Right?"

"Right."

"Now, I think Xu Le's problem is no longer a problem, right?"

"Right."

"So, in other words, the new problem is not Xu Le, but something even more powerful than Xu Le."

"Hmm?"

Zhou Ze pondered.

"You can be more specific."

He wanted to know how much Little Lori had told his "ghost," ... father.

"It actually depends on yourself, on whether you reject this change.

Actually,

in this world,

many people think in their minds that they want to maintain their personality, to maintain their own purity, to maintain their own characteristics.

Late at night, they stand in front of the mirror, admiring their bodies, while savoring their souls, which they believe are one in a million.

But in reality, in real life, they will naturally become a part of the trend of the masses, drifting with the current in this murky water."

"Bro, you know what? The way you're talking now feels a bit like those black God figures in Hollywood movies, coming out to talk about the meaning of life."

Zhou Ze flicked his cigarette ash,

and said,

"I just want to ask, is this change one-way?"

"That's not certain. It's like the marriage face..."

"Why is it the marriage face again?"

"Because I think it's the most suitable example."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

"Alright."

"Okay, I'll continue..."

"Change it."

"............" Wang Ke.

Zhou Ze put out his cigarette, leaned forward, and said,

"Is it possible to influence each other?"

"Theoretically, it's possible, as long as the other party is communicating with you, talking to you, and you are in a very close relationship,

it can produce a corresponding influence.

It's like the principle that the action of force is relative,

and there's also the saying about gazing into the abyss,

which also expresses the same principle."

"Oh, so, if I don't reject this change, what are you going to do next?"

"Then there's nothing more for me to say, and there's no need for any treatment or anything like that. Actually, people will unconsciously develop in the direction they like.

It's like lying on the sofa, habitually trying to find the most comfortable position."

"Hmm."

"It's like that poor girl sleeping in the ward now. Leaving aside the emotional factors, her current state is actually the best way for her to protect herself under the conditions of being abused, and also the way to gain the most security and sense of protection.

But,

is this change good?

Maybe under those circumstances, there was no choice, but what about now?

Actually, in my opinion, the psychological problems of many of my patients are not so-called pathological changes, but changes in personal preferences that conflict with their normal social life and the legal and moral system of this society, so they have reached a point where they must be changed."

"Conflict?"

Zhou Ze chewed on the word,

and images of the deaths of several corpses in that house immediately flashed through his mind.

Finally,

it settled on the scene of him clapping for that big fool.

"Actually, you still need to think about it yourself, distinguish it yourself, and make your own choices. And all I can help you with is this. As for specific treatments or even medication, I don't think you need any of that."

Zhou Ze nodded, not saying anything more.

Wang Ke stood up, preparing to return to the ward, but after taking two steps, he turned around, looked at Zhou Ze, and said,

"It's not yet certain who the father of the child in her womb is. The police are..."

"Abort it."

"Hmm?"

Zhou Ze looked at Wang Ke, without the slightest hesitation, and repeated,

"Abort it."

"That doesn't comply with the procedures. We have to wait for her to wake up, regain her self-awareness, and then ask her before we can..."

"Abort it. If you don't agree, I'll come to the hospital again tomorrow. I'm a former surgeon, you know."

"No matter what, the child is innocent."

"That's disgusting." Zhou Ze stood up, looked at Wang Ke, and at the same time, reached into his pocket to take out the black leather gloves Yingying had bought him, put them on, and said,

"If this child isn't aborted, what's the point of keeping it?"

"I understand how you feel, but..."

"I also understand how you feel, but, bro, you know what? Not everyone in this world is as mentally strong as you are."

Wang Ke was stunned.

"Sorry."

Zhou Ze patted Wang Ke on the shoulder.

"But why keep the child? To let her maternal radiance shine, to live strong with the child?

This isn't a drama.

If this child is kept,

it will only constantly remind her of that most painful memory.

Why do we have to be so cruel?"

Wang Ke took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Ze. He felt that Zhou Ze meant something else.

"But we can't make this choice for her. That's against the rules."

"Screw the rules. I'll bring some tools tomorrow and abort the child for her. Don't worry, I'll try to minimize the harm to her.

You can remind the police, and you can remind the hospital, but you should also know that they can't stop me."

Wang Ke pursed his lips.

He felt a bit emotional.

He said,

"Aze, you've really changed."

Zhou Ze shook his head.

"If this is also a kind of change, honestly, I don't dislike it."

"So, what else can I say?"

"You can say, bring back some more meat broth tomorrow to nourish her."

Wang Ke looked thoughtful.

Then he answered seriously,

"Okay."
