Xu Qinglang had originally planned to perform a Buddhist ceremony for Bureau Chief Zhao, hoping he could pass peacefully, as a way to honor his memory.
But then he thought that Bureau Chief Zhao had actually passed very peacefully. He was even afraid of being too bored on the road to the underworld, so he specially brought two books to read along the way.
Moreover, the thousands of taxis and the funeral procession spontaneously organized by many people were enough to ensure Bureau Chief Zhao had a good journey, so he didn't need to gild the lily.
"Old Zhou, he was a very good person."
Xu Qinglang said, smoking, his eyes a little red, pitiful to see.
"He also left very frankly."
Even though he was a doctor in his previous life and had saved and helped many people, Zhou Ze didn't think he was so great. His profession was a doctor, and it was his duty to heal the wounded and rescue the dying.
In fact, those ordinary and great people are just doing their jobs in society, but the glory in them is not limited to a corner of their work.
There are always things that can move you and many others.
People often wonder if the eyes of the masses are really discerning.
But those nearly a thousand taxi drivers who formed a team to escort the funeral procession were very clear in their hearts.
"I'm going to rest."
Xu Qinglang took out a tissue, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and turned to go back to his noodle shop. He wanted to drink some wine and have a good sleep. Strong people always don't like to show their vulnerable side to others.
Zhou Ze also walked back to the bookstore after smoking. The little loli told him to improve his performance, but Zhou Ze was as lazy as ever.
Because he really lacked some subjective initiative, and Zhou Ze was also waiting for a result. What would be the ending of that person in Rongcheng?
Although Zhou Ze himself felt that the other party's chances of turning the tables were not high, the little loli personally went back to hell and released the Faceless Woman to help, and also united many other ghost messengers.
But,
What if?
What if?
Yes, what if!
Zhou Ze even really considered and looked forward to it. If that person in Rongcheng killed the little loli, wouldn't the little loli's position naturally fall on him?
Dreams must always be had.
Taking out his mobile phone, Zhou Ze dialed a number, it was Old Daoist's phone.
The two hadn't contacted each other since Zhou Ze treated Old Daoist to dinner last time.
No one answered the phone. Zhou Ze put down his phone, but soon, the other party called back:
"Hey, buddy, I'm not in Tongcheng now, I'm in Xucheng, what's the matter?"
"Oh."
Zhou Ze originally wanted Old Daoist to remind that person to be careful, but after thinking about it, he didn't bother to say anything more, or even nag too much, and directly hung up the phone.
Old Daoist on the other end of the phone probably thought it was inexplicable.
In that dream, that young man clearly knew that he was being targeted, so his current reminder was a bit superfluous.
The guy knew what he was doing.
Stretching, the little loli woke up at this time, restored to her cute appearance, and then her mother came back after doing her hair and took her away.
Today's events should have ended here. Zhou Ze originally planned to take a bath and prepare for the evening's business.
The little loli said that keeping the zombie Bai Yingying by his side was equivalent to adding a lampshade to his light bulb, which would affect the probability of encountering ghosts, but Zhou Ze had no intention of sending Bai Yingying away now.
Sleeping with Bai Yingying was of course more comfortable than sleeping with an ice coffin.
Moreover, ghosts kept coming to the bookstore, which made Zhou Ze a little annoyed. This was still the case with Bai Yingying around. If Bai Yingying wasn't there, he would really have to deal with a lot of dead souls every night.
Zhou Ze felt that he had fallen. How ambitious and progressive he was in his previous life,
But in this life, he just wanted to muddle through. But this lazy and aimless feeling, a life of reading books and slouching all day long,
Was really comfortable.
When Zhou Ze asked Bai Yingying to help him get a change of clothes to take a bath,
Someone pushed open the door of the shop. Zhou Ze turned around, a little surprised by the arrival of this person, because his daughter and wife had just left the shop.
"I'm here for a follow-up visit to see how you've been lately."
Wang Ke naturally pulled out a plastic stool, sat on it, and signaled Zhou Ze to sit opposite him.
He had his own psychological clinic, and his fees were very high, so taking the initiative to make a follow-up visit to Zhou Ze for free was, in his and other people's eyes, indeed giving Zhou Ze a lot of face.
Of course, half of this face was counted on the real Zhou Ze, and the other half was because Zhou Ze had saved his daughter in the first place.
Zhou Ze sat down opposite Wang Ke,
Trying to lower his gaze so as not to look at Wang Ke's head.
Because the green light on Wang Ke's head was strong, as if ten thousand horses were galloping.
A small Bluetooth speaker was connected to the bookstore's computer, randomly playing some popular music. At this time, it happened to switch to Stefanie Sun's "Green Light".
These days, even random play was so naughty.
"Tell me, how have you been feeling lately?" Wang Ke asked.
"I think I'm fine, the problem is not big anymore." Zhou Ze replied.
"I can see that you are very calm and also at ease." Wang Ke nodded.
However, the two fell silent together.
Zhou Ze was a little strange. It seemed that the other party didn't come to him specifically for a follow-up visit, that was just a guise.
"There's something I want to ask you to help me with." Wang Ke said again.
"You say."
Not to mention the relationship between the two in their previous lives, just based on the fact that he had helped him see a doctor and gave opinions and analysis a while ago, Zhou Ze owed him a favor.
"I have a client who has dissociative identity disorder. Her problem is more complicated and a bit difficult, so I need you to help me take a look and analyze it."
"This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Zhou Ze asked.
"Difficult." Wang Ke gave a wry smile, "Her father is an important partner of mine, and my psychological clinic was established with his investment.
If it was just a simple matter of helping the first personality eliminate the second personality or helping the second personality eliminate the first personality, I have ways and abilities to try.
But the problem is complicated because,
For my partner, his daughter's first personality is of course his daughter herself, but the second personality is very similar to his wife."
"That is... a mother and daughter live in one body?"
"Yes, his wife died of illness last year, he was very sad, and his daughter is only sixteen years old this year. I analyze that it may be because the girl subconsciously cannot accept the fact that her mother has passed away.
So she slowly 'recreated' an image of her mother in her consciousness to accompany her.
It would have been better if this problem had been discovered earlier, but it was too late when it was really discovered and taken seriously. The second personality has taken shape and is very mature.
During the day, she is a daughter, at night, she is a mother.
During the day, she goes to school, plays computer games and watches TV in her room.
At night, she wants to rest in her father's bedroom. If my friend doesn't open the door, she will cry outside saying that he has a woman outside and doesn't want to touch her."
"That's interesting." Zhou Ze laughed.
Wang Ke's expression was a little awkward. Zhou Ze's evaluation made him a little uncomfortable. Making fun of patients was a very disrespectful thing.
"Sorry." Zhou Ze raised his hand to indicate that he had said the wrong thing, but still said: "So, how does your partner want to solve this problem?"
Let him "wife" die again,
Or, let his daughter become his wife?
A happy choice of two.
Zhou Ze was also a doctor in his previous life, so he shouldn't think about this matter with such a joking attitude, but in reality, Zhou Ze couldn't be serious, especially from Wang Ke's narration, Zhou Ze had actually heard the father's thoughts.
There were only three ways to solve the problem: keep the daughter, keep the "wife", or keep both.
Of course, there was another extreme way, to keep neither, but that was equivalent to killing someone, so it was directly excluded.
As a doctor, you should only be responsible for your patients.
When Zhou Ze was saving people in the hospital in his previous life, he often encountered obstruction from the outside world. For example, a pregnant woman got acute inflammation, and her family actually blocked the doctor from taking a film for her, saying that they were afraid of affecting the health of the child, but the situation at the time was that the pregnant woman and the child were likely to die because of the inflammation.
Looking at this case, that so-called "wife" was just a virtual personality, and the daughter got sick because she missed her deceased mother.
Therefore, helping the daughter come out and get rid of the influence of that so-called second personality was the correct direction of treatment.
But Wang Ke was struggling, which meant that the father chose the third option. He also loved his wife and missed his wife, so he hoped that he could see his daughter and feel that his wife was still alive in his daughter.
"He loves his wife very much." Wang Ke said.
"But many times love is actually a selfish disguise."
"So, you are unwilling to help?"
"I don't know how I can help you."
"You are the most perfect case of successful entry of a second personality that I have ever seen. I think you may be able to communicate with the mother's personality to ensure that they stay harmonious in one body. The problem now is that the two personalities have begun to have unstable trends.
They will slowly cross and become chaotic.
Then, become another stranger."
"I'm sorry, I can't do it." Zhou Ze looked at Wang Ke, "Mr. Wang, I remember my good friend Zhou Ze told me about you before he died, saying that you are a very upright and principled person."
Wang Ke frowned slightly, but soon relieved, and said:
"People will change. I can't get to where I am today without the help of that investor."
Wang Ke stood up, apparently intending to leave. Since he couldn't get Zhou Ze to help, he had no reason to stay any longer.
"I remember I seem to have bought a lottery ticket, and I forgot to check the winning information. Maybe I can win five million. I have to check it now." Zhou Ze suddenly said.
"The probability is too low." Wang Ke smiled.
"Scratching lottery tickets is like looking at a paternity test. Everyone knows that this thing is useless, but you still can't help but take a look."
After saying that, Zhou Ze smiled at Wang Ke and continued:
"Right?"
