"Hello?"
Hearing the voice behind him, the tall man who had been standing under the corridor all night turned around.
This man looked a little tired, with a scruffy beard, and probably hadn't slept for a long time. Although his face was a little dirty, Lu Yuan could see at a glance that his skin should be very good, and that he probably wasn't very old either.
In an instant, Lu Yuan had an initial guess about the man's identity.
The man looked at Lu Yuan, bowed his head slightly and bowed slightly, and asked, "Excuse me, are you the doctor here?"
Lu Yuan was a little surprised. He hadn't seen such a polite person for a long time. In a world where people could kill each other over a trivial argument, politeness was undoubtedly a luxury.
"I am, please come with me to the consulting room to talk," Lu Yuan said.
"Okay." The man followed Lu Yuan towards the clinic. Passing the ticketing machine, he hesitated and said, "Should I, should I take a number?"
Lu Yuan smiled. "There's no one else right now, it doesn't matter if you take one or not."
In the end, the man still took a number. Lu Yuan noticed that when the man walked, he would always wrap his raincoat very tightly around him, as if there was something important inside.
The two sat down in the consulting room. Lu Yuan took out a new medical record and asked, "What's your name? What's the problem?"
The man stared blankly at the desk in front of him. "Doctor, do you have hot water?"
Lu Yuan was taken aback. He had just remembered that both nurses were off duty now. He immediately got up to pour a cup of hot water for the man, and said, "It looks like you probably haven't eaten for a long time?"
The man held the cup of water Lu Yuan handed over with both hands. His eyebrows wrinkled as he said, "Doctor, I'm so sad."
Lu Yuan sat back in his chair, lightly tapped his pen once, and said, "Go on, I'm listening."
The man just held the cup of water without drinking a sip, and slowly opened his mouth.
"Two years ago, I had a dream."
"I dreamed of a girl."
"A very simple dream, nothing happened, but I found that I had fallen in love with that girl."
"Doctor, can you understand this feeling?"
"It was just a big dream, but I found that all the beauty was just an illusion."
"If that girl was someone real, around me, it would be fine, at least I would have a chance."
"But she just happened to be someone I had never seen before."
"A person in a dream, someone who doesn't even exist."
"I fell in love with someone who doesn't even exist. Doctor, I'm so sad, please help me..."
After speaking, the man sobbed softly in front of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan tapped the pen in his hand lightly on the desk in front of him, and said nothing.
After a while, the man stopped sobbing and raised his head again.
"Doctor, please help me."
Tears swirled in the man's eyes, and he looked extremely haggard.
Lu Yuan said calmly and softly, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. This is a surgical clinic, I don't do a psychiatrist's work."
The man's body trembled slightly, his pupils gradually lost their focus, and a strange smile appeared on his muddy face.
"Hehe, you're a doctor, how can you not help me?"
"You can help others, why can't you help me?"
"Hehehehe..."
As he spoke, the man slowly lifted his raincoat and shook it hard!
Pop, pop, pop, pop!
Several bloody heads rolled out from under the man's raincoat and onto the floor!
"I've killed five doctors now..."
"If you can't help me, I'll make you the sixth."
The more the man spoke, the more hideous his expression became. And he even showed Lu Yuan a smile that he thought was very scary...
However, he saw that the doctor across from him was also smiling!
And judging by that smile, it was completely natural!
Much more skilled than his own smile that he had practiced in front of the mirror for many days!
Lu Yuan tapped the pen in his hand lightly and said slowly, "If you show me that expression again, I'll skin you alive. Don't believe me? Try it."
The man didn't dare move. He realized this doctor was not simple.
A few seconds later, he reluctantly mustered up his courage to stand up, picked up the five heads from the floor again, and wrapped them in his raincoat.
Lu Yuan looked a little unbearable and asked, "Where did the heads come from?"
"I, I killed them—" The man fell silent halfway through speaking when he saw Lu Yuan raise his hand.
After another few seconds, he slowly opened his mouth, "This is my dad, my mom, my sister, my brother, and my girlfriend..."
"Their heads were chopped off by someone. I didn't have the ability, I could only steal their heads..."
Lu Yuan's eyelid jumped. What a huge grudge!
Lu Yuan curiously asked, "Then how did you get out?"
The man looked confused. "Me? I just ran out like that..."
Lu Yuan blinked and said, "Raise your head and let me see."
The man hesitated and did so. Pop!
His own head fell to the ground.
Lu Yuan got up, walked around the desk, put the man's head back on his neck, and straightened it for him.
He gently patted the man's shoulder, then returned to his seat and fell silent for a while.
After a while, Lu Yuan asked him, "I'm sorry, I really can't help you. Also—"
"Isn't your girlfriend in your arms? How can you still fall in love with a woman in your dream?"
"Huh?" The man said blankly, "My girlfriend is in my arms?"
He lowered his head and opened his raincoat to take a look. Pop, pop, pop, pop—
Several heads fell to the ground again.
This time, Lu Yuan saw that the five heads were all men in their twenties and thirties.
The man still carefully wrapped all the heads in his raincoat and said to Lu Yuan, "But, but I just like her."
"I can't forget her..."
Lu Yuan sighed silently.
The man in front of him was not dead, but was an infected person whose brain was problematic due to beastization.
The beastization genes he was infected with were quite special—earthworm genes.
Therefore, even if his head fell off, he would not die.
"I'm sorry, I really can't help you. This kind of thing can only be solved by yourself."
"Oh..." The man's expression instantly became extremely lonely.
"Doctor, how much do I owe you?"
"I didn't help you, so no charge."
"I stood here for a whole night..."
"Free of charge."
"The hot water?"
"Also free."
"You even helped me put my head back just now..."
"That was free too."
"Doctor, thank you. You are really a good person."
"You're too kind. You are a good person too."
The man looked at Lu Yuan gratefully, slowly got up, wrapped himself tightly in his raincoat, and walked out.
Lu Yuan followed behind and escorted him all the way to the gate of the medical school.
He didn't know if he would see this person again. He just felt that this person was a little pitiful.
At the gate, before parting, the man turned around and looked at Lu Yuan.
He said, "Doctor, it's so pitiful that you have to stay here and can't leave."
Lu Yuan was stunned at first, then smiled, "The world is impermanent, nothing can be said for certain."
The man randomly fished something out of his pocket and lightly tossed it onto Lu Yuan.
It was a silver badge.
"This is an unregistered valuable coin from Donglai Group's bank. One is worth three million."
Lu Yuan was surprised. He really hadn't noticed that this guy was actually rich.
But even if he was rich, he shouldn't just toss it like that, right?
Seeing Lu Yuan's puzzled expression, the man's face showed a mysterious smile. Then he shook his raincoat, threw all the heads into the bushes on the roadside.
"Thank you for not using my brother Wang Yi's head to claim a reward. This money will not shortchange you explorers!"
"Jiang Yingying, I feel very assured to have you do surgery here!"
"These are some rascals who tried to sneak into your clinic recently. I took care of them all for you! No need to thank me!"
After speaking, the man turned and walked into the heavy rain, waving his hand behind him at Lu Yuan.
"You're a good doctor! Live well!"
"Goodbye!"
At this moment, Lu Yuan paid no attention to this mentally unsound fellow. He just stared at the few heads in the greenbelt by the roadside.
Among them were two ability users...
In an instant, Lu Yuan felt a stab of pain.
"Thanks so much, you jerk..."
