In the single ward of Jiangcheng No. 2 Psychiatric Hospital, Shen Chan used the fruit knife in his hand to cut off the last circle of apple skin, cut the apple into small pieces, put it on the plate of the low cabinet at hand, inserted a toothpick, and handed it to the girl lying on the hospital bed in front of him.

"Fluttershy, eat some fruit."

The girl half-lying on the hospital bed looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a loose hospital gown, pale skin, not even her lips were bloody, her neat short hair and eyes were also brownish, and she looked very weak.

Under the loose hospital gown, the body that was as thin as the wings of a butterfly specimen did not seem to have much vitality left.

But seeing the apple handed by Shen Chan, the girl still showed a bright smile.

"Brother Cicada...... Don't bother, I'll peel the fruit myself. ”

She carefully picked up the plate and put the apple in her mouth with a toothpick.

"It's sweet."

"It's okay, it's fun to peel fruit," Shen Chan said, wiping the fruit knife with a tissue, "Recently...... Is your sleep okay? Can you still see those strange things? ”

"It's good, Brother Cicada," the girl nodded, continuing to eat the apple, "This hospital is not bad, it's better than the environment in my hometown before...... Brother Cicada, what about you? Is the work still going well? ”

Shen Chan put down the fruit knife, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke very normally.

"The same old way, doing odd jobs. You don't have to worry about money, brother has a way, and it's easy for brother to make money. ”

"Okay, then...... What about your own 'problem', Brother Cicada? ”

The girl asked, tentatively with watery, puppy-like eyes that made people feel pity.

"It's still the same......"

Shen Chan replied, then looked at the girl's eyes, and looked away unnaturally.

"But I've had a bit of a clue lately."

He added, and then slipped his hand into his empty trouser pocket, somewhat stiffly.

"Speaking of which, my brother recently met an old Chinese medicine doctor when he was doing odd jobs, and he had a recipe there, saying that it was particularly useful for treating upset and hysterical hallucinations, and next time if the symptoms were severe, I didn't want to take tranquilizers...... Just eat one and try it. ”

From his own extradimensional space, he took out a bottle of elixir that he had bought in Wanbao Pavilion before, and according to the description, this bottle of elixir was the "Qi Calming Pill" used by a certain Immortal Dao Sect to assist his disciples in breaking the demons in their hearts.

Although Shen Chan didn't feel that he needed this bottle of elixir, he saw it at the time and still spent the balance to buy it......

The reason is naturally because of the girl in front of him, and his only relative in this world besides Slap Xing, his sister...... Shen Die.

It should have been a flower-like and carefree age, but because of illness, he could only stay in this cold, plain white hospital, enduring the pain caused by hallucinations.

Shen Chan thinks that he is not a very empathetic person, and he seems to have a natural indifference to life.

Whether it's a car accident in front of you, a social news of a major disaster you see, or even someone you killed with your own hands, it's hard to have any mood swings.

But Shen Chan also vaguely understood that he didn't seem to be a completely cold-blooded bastard......

At least for his sister Shen Die, who has been dependent on him for many years, he can't ignore the other party's life and suffering.

In a sense, Shen Chan felt that he couldn't go up or down in his morality and three views as a person, and he was stuck there.

Shen Die looked at the small porcelain bottle that Shen Chan took out, hesitated for a moment, but still took it, put it on the small thin quilt he was covering, and sat up cross-legged.

"Brother Cicada, this thing isn't cheap, is it?"

"It's free, Koko," Shen Chan smiled and touched her head, her silky hair was like small animal fluff, "Don't worry about me all the time, your brother and I are very good...... It's not that you don't know, I'm not old or dead. ”

"Well, I know, my brother is the best."

Shen Die gently held Shen Chan's hand on his head, closed his eyes, and said in a gentler voice.

"Brother Cicada...... Can you leave it alone about your 'immortality', it's not bad for you anyway, is it? ”

"Isn't it nice to never die?"

Shen Die said softly, and Shen Chan shook his head.

"What's the matter, you have been transferred to the Second Hospital for two years, and I have come to see you, and the security guards and doctors think that I am coming to see my sister......"

"I'm going to keep doing this, ten or twenty years, and I'll have to come to see my aunt, my mother, and my grandmother!"

Shen Chan said, deliberately putting on a very serious appearance.

"When the time comes, you will become a little old lady with gray hair, and I will still look like a child, like words?"

"That's pretty good," Shen Die, who had his eyes closed, seemed to think about this picture for a while, and couldn't help laughing, a hint of a smile appeared on his pale face, "When the time comes, Brother Cicada, you give me New Year's greetings, and I will give you New Year's money." ”

When Shen Chan heard this, he also reluctantly withdrew his hand.

"Just say this to you, I still have to unravel my 'abnormality'!"

And, Fluttershy...... We've been in Jiangcheng for more than three years...... After a while, I'll have to move out again. ”

"I don't want you to follow me to live this upheaval life, it's not good for your illness...... And once I'm targeted, I'm afraid I'll hurt you. ”

His tone became serious.

Shen Die opened her eyes and pursed her mouth.

"I won't bother you, Brother Cicada, if anyone wants to arrest you, I'll kill them all."

"What nonsense, ...... of fighting and killing"

Shen Chan pinched Shen Die's face.

"I'm not all for you, either...... My temperament is like this, this obviously strange thing has fallen on me for no reason, and if I don't figure it out, I can't live in peace. ”

He said this and stood up.

"Alright, it's not too late...... It's time for me to go, too. ”

Shen Chan took out his newly bought mobile phone and glanced at the time, it was already half past four in the afternoon.

Outside, too, the sun has begun to gradually slide below the horizon.

Shen Die showed a somewhat reluctant expression, but still waved goodbye.

"That'...... Brother Cicada, remember to come to see me next week. ”

As she said this, Shen Chan smiled and nodded.

"Definitely."

Shen Chan left the single room.

As the door of the ward closed, the smile on Shen Chan's face disappeared.

Copper furnace game, copper furnace space ......

Seeing Shen Die today, he suddenly realized something......

Modern medicine can't solve Fluttershy's problem, but there may be no way out of the game.

There are more and more reasons why I have to keep playing.

In the ward, Shen Die picked up the porcelain bottle on his lap, and his expression became cold a little.

The strong, sunny sick girl is gone.

"Damn it......"

She rubbed the porcelain vase and whispered, her light brown eyes showing anger and ......

Killing Intent.
