.

In the silence of the night, the dim light illuminates the ward, and the men with delicate and deep facial features communicate face-to-face, and the pale yellow light dyes everything into a memory scene.

The brown-haired doctor in his thirties began to ask questions, still holding a notebook in his hand, and his attitude to his work can only be described as meticulous.

"When you eat tomato macaroni, do you worry about whether to eat noodles or eggs first?"

"Yes...... No, it's not. ”

Bill suddenly repented, and the pen in the doctor's hand paused to jot down the answer.

"Do you dare to walk down the street in fancy dress without fear of the laughter of others?"

“...... Can't. ”

"Do you lose sleep because you don't know where your hands are before you go to bed?"

“...... No. ”

"Someone told a joke that wasn't funny, and you dared to say that his joke was bad in public?"

“...... Can't. ”

"If someone you hate wants to give you a crystal, will you gladly accept it?"

“...... Yes. ”

When the hesitant voice fell, the doctor would give Bill a mark, and Bill couldn't see what he had written, but some of the questions the doctor didn't care, and some of them had to be written in a notebook for a long time before stopping.

When he first started asking questions, Bill would also be careful to make sure that he cooked in line with the average person's point of view, but as the questions changed little by little, he couldn't find a pattern.

Or he no longer knows what choice a normal person will make, and how a mentally ill person will choose, can only give an answer based on his subconscious.

The expression on the doctor's face barely changed, making it difficult for Bill to see if he could be diagnosed as an ordinary person in his mental state.

The questions continued, and Bill was inexplicably nervous.

“......”

“...... If a stranger invites you to eat something very nice, will you accept it?"

"Yes. ”

"Did you miss telling a story to a monkey for a while?"

"Maybe sometimes I feel this way......"

The doctor and Bill asked and answered, and in the deserted room, the shadow tilted its head, stretched towards the foot of the bed under the light of the kerosene lamp.

The voice of the question slowly dissipated, and Bill stared strangely at his expressionless face, and there was an emotion in his heart, hoping that the doctor would continue to understand his inner world.

"This is probably how patients feel when they become dependent on psychiatrists. 」

However, the doctor still doesn't know what Bill is thinking, and of course he may know and deliberately pretend not to know, after all, an extraordinary and experienced psychiatrist like him is bound to get the attention of women.

He sorted out the notes he had just taken and continued to ask questions.

"Mr. Cliff, I have a few last questions, which I would like to ask you to answer. ”

"No problem. ”

Bill looked very relaxed, trying to smile, and when the doctor saw him like this, he suddenly closed the notebook in his hand and asked very serious questions.

"So if I said you were mentally ill, would you admit it yourself?"

"And one last sentence, I said that in the future you may become a psychopath......"

"Do you believe that?"

As the muffled voice faded, the single room, filled with light, fell silent.

The doctor with gold-rimmed glasses calmly looks at Bill, the image of a doctor often seen on TV, but at this moment it brings new pressure to Bill.

"He said I was mentally ill?"

"And you say that I might become mentally ill in the future?"

"Damn, what kind of kid is he kidding!"

Bill frowned, the flickering lights flickered, and he remembered what Termmaster Hoover had been like when he went crazy.

Stationmaster Hoover undoubtedly lost his mind in the process of gaining power, could it be that he was also gaining power......

Suddenly thinking of this, Bill shook his head desperately, trying to shake this thought out.

"I'm pretty sure I'm not mentally ill!"

"Of course, I don't believe I'm going to be a psychopath at all!"

"Although they think I'm stimulated when I'm out and doing something that is hard to understand, I'm completely back to normal now!"

Bill was determined to almost shout out such words, whether they were true or not, and in order to clear his name as a psychopath, he had to convince others that he was not sick.

"Okay, I know what you're trying to say, you don't have to get excited about my question, it's just a trivial test. ”

The doctor's mind was unwavering, he was probably used to such scenes, and he just put his notebook and pen back in his briefcase.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Cliff, for your cooperation with my job, and as a doctor, I think I need to comfort and give you the right advice to guide you through the rest of your life. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Are you saying I'm sick!"

Bill was agitated again, and even the shadows on the ground trembled with emotion, but the doctor just got up from his chair, exhaled suddenly, and shook his head.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cliff, you don't need to continue to be treated here. ”

"But I'm not saying you're in a healthy mental state, it's just that you're not yet cared for, and you have the ability to live on your own. ”

"I'm just suggesting you can ...... later"

"Relax, don't let yourself think too much, overthinking is not a good thing for human beings, most human diseases are caused by emotions. ”

The doctor's face softened as he answered Bill's questions, and it seemed that he would only be strict when treating patients.

"Well, what do you mean......"

Bill was stunned, he seemed to have misunderstood the doctor.

"Well, my diagnosis suggests that you can go home and do what you need to do, but I hope you can adjust your mindset in the future. ”

"After all, people who have been subjected to intense mental stimulation will become more and more sensitive in a certain sense......"

"By the way, can you tell me what you were stimulated by before?"

As a courtesy and courtesy before leaving, the doctor extended his right hand to Bill and asked the only personal question, which was the patient's private and should not have been asked.

Moreover, awakening the patient's unpleasant memories can only be done at certain necessary moments, after all, the doctor should not actively stimulate the patient until they have been left with horror.

It's just curiosity, everyone has it.

"Oh, you don't want to know what I'm going through, and I'm just thinking of it as a dream now, but it's more real. ”

Bill finally showed the most sincere and relaxed expression, and he was now sure that the world was not all about him.

Most things always have a suitable turn before they get the worst, because he has learned that neither the government nor the Oude Holy See have no hatred for him now.

I have to say, this incident is very thankful.

"Well, since you say so, I won't ask any more questions, and then I will truthfully hand over your determination report to the Government Commissioner and the Holy See Envoy. ”

"Mr. Cliff, congratulations on your return to normal society!"

Without nostalgia, the doctor pushed open the iron door of the ward, and it was late at night, and Bill could still see the busy people working outside the door.

As soon as the doctor stepped out of the room, Bill suddenly remembered something.

"Please wait, please wait a minute before leaving!"

"Well, is there anything else, Mr. Cliff?"

The doctor paused, not in the slightest displeasure at Bill's call, and carried the briefcase in one hand, straightened his collar and glanced at his watch as he raised his hand.

"If ......"

"I mean, if I feel like I need psychiatric treatment in the future, can I go to the Capital Hospital to find you?"

Bill leaned back on the pillows stacked together, still uneasy about his mental state, after all, as he pondered what had happened for months, he slowly became aware of many discordant situations that even he could not comprehend.

That being the case, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to get treatment or follow the advice of a psychiatrist, as long as you don't end up in a psychiatric hospital where you can't move freely.

"Oh, of course, Mr. Cliff. ”

"I'm glad you can trust my ability and level in such a short period of time, if you have any needs, please come to me at the Capital Hospital, my name is Alfred. ”

"Of course I still hope we don't see each other again, because that means you don't need a doctor and you don't have to be mentally ill, haha!"

Dr. Alfred laughed awkwardly twice, and after seeing that Bill didn't seem to be laughing out on his bad joke, he secretly cursed a shit.

However, he quickly put his image in order, nodded to Bill, and walked out of the room completely, closing the door gently......

......

While waiting patiently, Bill had already planned to leave immediately after leaving and go to Ceylon to inherit Williams' inheritance.

It wasn't long before the door to the ward was opened again by Miss Nurse, and someone else was placed in Bill's room.

It was Lao Wei and Langus, who had been locked up all day.

"Bill, it's great to see you!"

"Are you okay, how did you become like this!"

Lao Wei ran to the bed and asked him urgently, and almost the whole person jumped up and shook Bill, and the nurse stared at Lao Wei with a fierce look on her face.

"Be quiet, the patients next door are asleep, if you make a big noise, I'll blast you out!"

"Sorry, sorry......"

In the cold snort of the nurse lady, Lao Wei scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and the volume of his speech immediately decreased, after all, it is difficult for a guy with a full body to be liked at first sight.

Langes hesitantly followed behind Lao Wei, and when Miss Nurse turned to leave, he did not forget to nod and thank her, thus winning some of the nurse's favor towards him.

The door was slammed shut, and Lao Wei was already sitting on the chair beside the bed, excited, but Langus hesitantly changed to get closer, and the desire that kept rolling in his heart made him uneasy.

"Bill, is there anything unwell in your body right now, do you need me to pour you some hot water?"

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine, and a professional doctor has just diagnosed me, saying that I am in good spirits now, and I can leave after completing a few formalities. ”

Bill seemed to feel a little warm in his heart in the face of the anxious old man, but his own sensory organs were not very sensitive, so it was difficult to grasp this feeling.

"Oh, that's ......"

"What!Bill, you're going to be discharged from the hospital!?"

Before Lao Wei could finish speaking, Langes's lowered head suddenly raised, startling the other two people to be puzzled, and Lao Wei's eyes even widened.

"Langes, what's wrong with you, isn't it a good thing that Bill can get out of here so soon, you ......"

Langus was also aware of his gaffe, and his gaze swept to Bill's scrutinizing, half-squinted eyes, unconsciously sliding his Adam's apple and swallowing saliva.

"yes, yes, that's a good thing!"

"I just accidentally shouted out because I was very excited, excited and excited, sorry sorry, I accidentally scared you......"

Langes, who was full of smirks, pretended to move the chair too, and found an opportunity to quickly turn around and relax, secretly wiping the sweat droplets running down the ends of his hair on his forehead, and his heart throbbed clearly.

Despite his distracting desires, the images and shadows of Bill's threats lingered in his mind for a long time, and Langes was terrified at the thought of his intention to encroach on Bill's assets.

But tens of thousands of gold pounds of assets are in front of him, and Langes's instigated desire has long been hanging in the air, floating and floating......

Moreover, through the management of the affairs of the factory during this time, as well as the contact with other merchants, Langes has clearly understood that the mechanical factory established by Bill is not only worth the gold pounds invested in the early stage!

Because the factory has now won the monopoly certificate of the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences for human autonomous control of two-wheeled vehicles, it is difficult to estimate the benefits it will make in the future!

Tens of thousands of gold pounds are already something that Langes, a semi-low-level person who lives by lending small loan sharks, he can't believe it all his life, if he can earn another 100,000, 100,000 or even tens of millions of gold pounds......

Astronomical!

Absolutely astronomical!

Bill's fear and restlessness and inflated desire swirled around Langes's mind, and he swallowed again, trying his best to calm the mess before turning around.

Bringing a chair to sit next to Lao Wei, Langes's face was full of Bill's concern.

"Bill, what the hell is going on during this time, how did you suddenly get some mental illness, was it stimulated when you were outside?"

"It's good that you've recovered, otherwise Lao Wei and I would have regretted that we didn't stop you from leaving Brittus that night, and we wouldn't know what to do without you!"

Caring for Bill from the bottom of his heart, Langus was more considerate than Lao Wei at the moment, and he even went down from his waist to peel Apples for Bill, doing something he had never done before.

When Williams saw Langus like this, he thought he really wanted to do something for Bill, and was no longer dissatisfied with his strange actions before.

Bill's eyes were half-squinted, still leaning against the head of the bed.

He looked at Langus with a uncertain expression, but he didn't say much, after all, although this guy had a ghost in his heart, Bill hadn't discovered any tricks for him.

What's more, the factory still needs him now.

"Actually, it was just a misunderstanding, and now that the misunderstanding is resolved, I can get out of here. ”

"That's great!"

"Bill, our factory is going to cut soon, and you'll have to be there!"

"The tailoring date that Langes and I have planned is August 8, when we will be able to make the first human-controlled two-wheeled vehicles, and we will be able to invite many journalists and businessmen to come!"

Williams is excited again, and he and Bill are looking forward to this day as well, after all, as collaborators and good friends with Bill who planned the factory from scratch, Willy has regarded the factory as the most precious treasure.

Bill nodded in response, and in his calculations, the plant should indeed have done most of the preparation during this time.

But he had to leave first.

"Don't worry, I'll be there on the day of the ribbon cutting. ”

"But I still have a very urgent matter that needs to leave the fog capital for a while, about half a month or so, and the factory will still be handed over to you during this time. ”
