Lu Ran stood in place, stunned as Zhang Xiaoming disappeared in front of his eyes.

"What should I do next? Could it be that I can't do anything about what happens to my teacher?" Lu Ran asked himself in his heart.

"Impossible! Although I, Lu Ran, am not a famous teacher, but if I don't even care about the people I care about, I can't judge what will happen to me, and what dreams do I talk about. Lu Ran spurred himself.

He wants to solve this mystery on his own!

Lu Ran groped his chin and began to speculate.

"Failed...... "Infection ......" treatment failure, does it mean that Mr. Huang's case has failed?

This infection ...... I don't have a clue yet.

"I'd better read the case study in the case book again, if it's really a treatment failure, then there must be a flaw in the analysis. Lu Ranwu thought to himself, "Heh, although Mr. Zhang can't see the content of this notebook, I guess that what is written on it must be the same as what he thinks in his head." ”

Lu Ran returned home, opened the case book again, and looked at it carefully.

From the day to the night, I forgot the time, and I forgot the hunger.

Looking over and over again, the content is no different from what Zhang Xiaoming told him before.

Except, that "they" ......

Suddenly, Lu Ran's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something.

He picked up his phone and dialed Zhang Xiaoming's number.

"Hi, Lu Ran. Listening to the voice, Mr. Zhang was having dinner with his friends and was in a good mood.

"Mr. Zhang, in Mr. Huang's case today, will he mean other counselors when he says 'they all say so'?"

"You're such a hardworking kid! Other counselors? Are you talking about the counselor who counseled him before...... Oh! It's a possibility, I ignored it, but you know, there's a limited amount of time for a consultation, and I'll ask that question in detail next time. Obviously, Mr. Zhang was very relaxed and did not notice any difference between this case and the past.

Lu Ran couldn't wait for the next time, he continued to speculate.

"I would say that if it's true as I guessed, he's been through counseling, even several. If the other counselors are the same as you, then you must have overlooked some important information. ”

"You mean, he's been treated several times after he's failed?"

"Yes. If you don't find out that overlooked information, I'm worried that your treatment may also fail. Lu Ran said bluntly.

The other end of the phone paused for a while, and suddenly Zhang Xiaoming's hearty laughter came.

"Hahaha, you kid, I see that you are getting more and more talented now, and your speculation is very likely to be true. If that's what you say, I might have made a wrong judgment.

However, whether what you say is true or not still needs to be verified by the next consultation, and now I can't do anything because of your speculation. If the other counsellor thinks the same way as I do, and we are all wrong, it just means that he is so special. ”

Lu Ran wanted to say something, but Zhang Xiaoming had already interrupted him.

"Okay, don't study too hard, you still have to pay attention to rest. What you say, I'll keep an eye on it. ”

After speaking, there seemed to be other people's greetings, and Zhang Xiaoming hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Lu Ran was still a little uneasy, although he found a little clue, he was still not sure what would happen in the next consultation.

Hopefully, this clue is a breakthrough that can reverse the failure and change the prophecy in that weird book.

……

A week passed quickly, and after a week of work and study, Lu Ran was very busy.

As an intern, he actually only needs to work in the blue ocean for three days a week, but this week, he came almost every day.

He was still thinking about the case.

On the 13th, Lu Ran woke up early.

He was going to rush to the blue ocean to see if the case was going well.

"Brother Lu, why are you here again? You should take a vacation today. Gu Qianqian had already arrived, and she was happy and surprised when she saw Lu Ran.

"I'm just here to see. Lu Ran said vaguely. "Sissi, why are you so early?"

"It's not early, anyway, Mr. Zhang should also arrive, he and Mr. Huang made an appointment to start consulting at nine o'clock, and it was eight fifty. ”

They all know that with Mr. Zhang's rigorous attitude towards counselors, they are usually ready half an hour in advance, and it is impossible to be in a hurry or even late.

"What about Mr. Huang?"

"He didn't come either. Sissi picked up the phone receiver on the table, pressed a few numbers, and wondered even more, "It's really weird, why is the teacher's phone turned off?"

"I'll look for it. ”

"Eh, Brother Lu......" Before Gu Qianqian could react, Lu Ran had already left.

He went straight to Zhang Xiaoming's house, fortunately, he had been there once before, and he remembered that it was in a residential building in a community near Lanhai.

I just don't know if the teacher is in it.

I ran all the way and finally reached the third floor, 301.

Lu Ran just wanted to knock on the door, and as soon as he patted the silver-white security door, the door slowly opened.

Didn't close the door? Lu Ran was puzzled in his heart, and shouted loudly:

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang?"

No one responded.

No one at home? Mr. Zhang's wife and children are still living in the distant United States, not in China, but Mr. Zhang should be at home, otherwise how could the door be open?

"Teacher Zhang?"

Lu Ran shouted and observed.

The room was very dark, and the curtains were hidden, as if the owner of the house was afraid of light.

The doors of the toilets, kitchens, and bedrooms are all closed and airtight.

Wait, there seems to be a slight gap in the door on the east side.

It was Mr. Zhang's study.

"Teacher Zhang?"

Lu Ran gently pushed open the door.

Only a man's voice could be heard trembling from the corner.

"You don't come in, you don't come over!"

Lu Ran was even more anxious, he looked up and down, where did the sound come from?

Soon, he saw Zhang Xiaoming in the corner of the wall.

Although the Zhang Xiaoming in front of him was unkempt and kept covering his face with his hands, Lu Ran still recognized his mentor at a glance.

"Teacher Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't look at me, don't look at me!"

Lu Ran saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, his teacher, the only teacher who appreciates and believes in him, what happened to him, will he become like this overnight? !

Lu Ran was surprised and angry, his mind was thinking quickly, and his eyes were looking at the teacher.

"Don't look at me, don't look at me......"

Don't look at me...... Why did he repeat this, he seemed nervous, he seemed to be scared.

Lu Ran grabbed the teacher's hand and vigorously broke his curled fist apart, his whole hand was soaked, and his palms were sweaty.

"Infection...... Is infection just contagion?"

A thought flashed in Lu Ran's heart, but he felt that his speculation was ridiculous, only human ** diseases can be contagious, colds, hepatitis, AIDS......

How can mental illness be contagious?!

"Ridiculous, really ridiculous!" Lu Ran thought as he became extremely angry. Because he knew that this speculation was absurd, but it must be true.

On the third page of the case book, he finally understood.

If the judgment and analysis of individual cases are wrong and fail, then they will be "infected" with the same disease.

Even more severe symptoms. He looked at the teacher, and this symptom was obviously much stricter than that of his "pathogen" Mr. Huang.

"What the hell is this? Who wrote it? It's too much!"

Lu Ran took out the case book from his backpack, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, he turned the pages of the book, and subconsciously wanted to tear it up.

Suddenly, a word appeared on the blank page, "a".

Lu Ran paused, and then a second word appeared, and slowly, all the words formed a line of words: "Case Record: Mr. Huang, 32 years old, Diagnosis: N/A, Counselor: Lu Ran".

When he saw his name, Lu Ran's heart rose to his throat.

He calmed down and looked at the case notebook again, he flipped left and right, and found that before, Mr. Zhang's case records were gone.

The case study is gone, as is the "treatment failure" on the third page.

Instead, with yourself as a therapist, you will start recording cases.

The counselor is still Mr. Huang, and his counselor has been transformed into Lu Ran himself.

This is the content of the first page, and when you turn to the second page, there is no case analysis, but the familiar bright red handwriting, "Treatment Success: Infection Failure, Wish Fulfillment; Treatment Failure: Infection." ”

Two results are written on it, like two multiple-choice questions.

Obviously, based on what happened to Mr. Zhang, according to what happened to Mr. Zhang, according to what is written in this book, now, I am Mr. Huang's counselor.

If treatment is successful...... Will the infection fail?

That means that Mr. Zhang will be healed, and he will be saved from disaster!

If he fails, then he will be infected with the same symptoms as Mr. Zhang and become a "madman"?

Lu Ran's heart didn't know whether to be happy or afraid.

Becoming a patient who can't help himself, of course, is something he can't bear, but, who made him encounter this strange book, but he can't escape it?

Trying to solve this puzzle may fail, but if you don't, you won't have a chance at all.

Thinking about it just now, I was really impulsive, and now I don't know enough about the book, in case the book is destroyed, and I and Mr. Zhang are sick and there is no cure, then it's over.

Lu Ran thought in his heart, only feeling afraid for a while.
