Chapter Thirty-One: The Psychiatrist's Diagnosis

  After Su Jin'er was discharged from the hospital, they didn't go directly to that forest. The person in black might be the murderer, who had already killed three people and wouldn't mind killing a few more. The reasons for murder are limited: revenge, love, accident, but what's most terrifying is treating murder as an art form, this kind of person is the most frightening.

  The school became even more desolate, with almost half of the students gone. Those who remained were left behind for various reasons, their faces filled with either fear or indifference.

  In the classroom, the four of them sat quietly, in the spacious classroom there were only a dozen or so people studying, and the air was filled with the sound of pages turning. Su Jiner lowered her head, Lin Yuan fiddled with his fingers, Chu Feifan gazed out the window, and Zuo Yi flipped through a yellowed book.

  "Su Jiner, don't you know a police officer? Didn't she tell you about the information after the forensic autopsy?"

  When Su Jin'er heard Zuo Yi's words, she was stunned. That day, Li Jing only told them that Liu Ye had died of a heart attack, but she clearly remembered that Liu Ye's lips were purple and his facial expression did not show the pain of a heart attack. Why was she so stupid?!

  "It seems Li Jing really has a problem!" She smiled helplessly, it seemed she was still too naive.

  "This can't be blamed on you, none of us know anything about forensic science, even if we saw the body, we wouldn't be able to tell what's going on." Chu Fei Fan looked at Su Jin Er, just then, a black figure appeared in his peripheral vision, he turned his head towards the window again.

  There was a dark figure standing in the corner outside, looking up at the upstairs.

  "Who is that person?" he asked in surprise.

  Three people quickly looked out of the window. From outside, it was impossible to see inside the window, but they felt two icy gazes that almost froze them.

  "This is the man in black we met in the small woods." Lin Yuan said with wide eyes and a terrified tone.

  If this person is really a murderer, then anyone in the school could be in danger. How could the school's security room allow such a strange person to enter the school?

  "Let's go find him."

  Just as the four of them were about to leave, a faint voice said, "Halt!"

  They turned around, looking for the source of the sound.

  "Is it you?" Chu Fei Fan said in surprise.

  The speaker was Zhang Yang, a roommate of Chu Fei Fan and Zuo Yi. Su Jin Er and Lin Yuan were also familiar with him.

  "You can't beat him, your actions will only make him continue killing."

  Zhang Yang usually doesn't like to talk. In the dormitory, he only occasionally says a sentence, and that sentence is also just a few pitiful words. He has always been alone.

  "What do you know? Tell us quickly!" Lin Yuan said anxiously. She heard that the person would continue to kill, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

  Zhang Yang rarely smiled for a moment, but instantly recovered his expressionless face: "I didn't say the murderer was an outsider, did I?"

  "Zhang Yang, do you know who the murderer is?" Chu Fei Fan looked at this roommate with tightly furrowed eyebrows.

  "You don't need to look down anymore, we're all going to die, no one can escape!" His voice was cold, but his tone was as if he was saying something extremely ordinary.

  "Nonsense!" Su Jiner glared at him angrily, his words almost identical to the ones Li Yiqian had once seen on the dormitory wall.

  "Haven't you forgotten about that curse? No one can escape from being cursed."

  They stared stiffly at Zhang Yang, and during military training, they met a strange woman, and the cursed words were what she said, which they didn't believe at all, but now it came out of their classmate's mouth, becoming even more eerie and terrifying.

  "It's impossible that such a strange thing as a curse exists." Su Jin'er still didn't believe it, if there really was a curse, then many bad people should have received punishment and the country wouldn't need to establish laws.

  "So you're saying that Xu Mengguang, Li Ran, Zhang Junsheng and the gatekeeper Liu Dage are all dead from suicide or accident? The police didn't find any evidence of a second person at the scene, but you all know this and refuse to accept it, how stupid!"

  "That's useless!" Lin Yuan retorted loudly, and he was loud because he himself lacked confidence.

  "Why don't you go find out then! Aren't you very clever? Thinking that just because you've read a few detective novels, you're detectives too, you're really too full of yourselves!" Zhang Yang's words were like sharp swords, instantly striking them down one by one.

  They are not detectives, so for now, they have no clues at all. Su Jin'er sat dejectedly in the chair, she was really too naive, but what about that lost memory? Why do fragmented pieces always appear in her mind, yet can't be pieced together completely.

  Who is that man in black again? Who can control a person's mind and make them commit suicide?! Is it really supernatural power?! But, they've already found Lin Yuan, if we stop investigating now, will they let us off?!

  One terrifying scene after another appeared in her mind, she was about to collapse.

  "What do you want to do then? You tell me!" Chu Fei Fan looked at him and asked, "You mean this is all the work of supernatural powers?"

  "Whether or not it's supernatural power, this is something that neither you nor I can stop. I advise you to immediately cease this foolish behavior."

  "No, it's not four people anymore, Wu Nannan is also dead." Su Jiner's voice trembled, too many things had happened recently, her mind was in a mess, as if she couldn't control herself.

  "When did this happen?" Chu Fei Fan and Zuo Yi asked in surprise.

  "Jin'er, didn't you tell them about your inexplicable memory loss?" Lin Yuan looked at Su Jin'er's pale face.

  "I'm so confused, my mind is all messed up, I've lost track of time and can't remember when everything happened recently. Xiaoyuan, when did Wu Nannan die?" Su Jiner couldn't stop shivering, even her teeth were chattering, but the heater in their classroom was clearly turned up high!

  "Jin'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you shaking all the time? Are you very cold?" Lin Yuan pulled up her hand, but found that her hand was even colder than ice and snow.

  At some point, there were only four of them left in the classroom, and even Zhang Yang was nowhere to be seen, as if from the beginning to now, there had always been only a few people.

  "Tell me, when did we go to town, and when did Wu Nannan die?"

  "Four days ago, today is Saturday, which was Wednesday."

  "We need to take her to the hospital." Chu Feifan picked up Su Jiner and rushed out of the classroom, Zuo Yi and Lin Yuan gathered their books and followed behind.

  After arriving at the hospital, the doctor said they should go to the psychiatric department, possibly because there was a problem with their spirit. Chu Fei Fan looked incredulously at Su Jin Er in his arms, how could this be? He had only been away for a few days, how could such a thing happen? He hated himself to death, why didn't he wait until things were over before leaving?! Lin Yuan had already cried until she was tearful, while Su Jin Er had lost consciousness.

  In psychiatry, after examination, the doctor said: "Have you taken her to see a psychologist?"

  Lin Yuan shook his head: "Her mind has always been healthy, why go see a psychiatrist."

  "That's strange, she seems to have split personality, but also seems to be hypnotized, however her will is very strong, constantly struggling with another different her, but one person two consciousness, a person's brain will slowly become disordered, maybe it's because of this reason that such situation appears!"

  "Is there any way to control it?"

  "Why don't you go see a professional psychologist?"

  "Lin Yuan, tell me, how many more things have you people been hiding from us? Why did Jin'er lose her memory?" Chu Fei Fan was like a lion with its hair standing on end, his eyes bloodshot.

  "It was that day she went missing and lost her memory, Jin'er didn't let me tell you guys. And also, Xiao Qing, her real name is Li Yi Qing, she's the younger sister of Li Yi Qian. Also, two nights ago when we were staying at the inn, I almost killed myself."

  "Why didn't you tell us these things?"

  "Jin'er didn't want to say it, originally she was going to investigate alone, but after I found out, she had no choice but to bring me along."

  "She's so silly, she actually wants to bear all the problems." For the first time, Chu Fei Fan shed tears. "My dad knows a very powerful psychologist, I'll contact him immediately."

  Chu Fei Yan took advantage of his father's connections and found that psychologist. After they sent Su Jin Er to his clinic, they were driven out.

  Lin Yuan was still sobbing on Zuo Yi's shoulder, while Chu Fei Fan lowered his head, his hands clenched in his hair.

  No matter what happens, there is a reason and a corresponding result. But what is the reason for Su Jin'er's situation? Is it a curse?

  "Damn it all to hell!" At this thought, Chu Fei Fan punched the wall with one fist.

  Lin Yuan and Zuo Yi both looked at him, seeing the tears all over his face, but were powerless to do anything. Time passed minute by minute, but every minute was a torment for them, they had no idea what was happening in the room.

  Every psychiatrist has to keep secrets for their patients, so the walls of the consulting room are completely soundproof. People outside can't hear any sounds from inside the house, even if they put their ears against the wall.

  About an hour later, the door finally opened.

  "Chu Fei Fan, come in!" The psychologist called Chu Fei Fan into the room.

  "Uncle Li, what's wrong with Jin'er?"

  "Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly." The psychologist poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Chu Fei Fan, then said: "There's one thing I can tell you clearly, she was once hypnotized and had some memories erased, but that wouldn't cause her consciousness to become disordered. However, now, I don't know who did something to her, causing her consciousness to become completely disordered, maybe that's why she fell into a coma. Have you taken her to the hospital for a check-up?"

  "Went, but no cause was found after examination."

  "I've never encountered a situation like this before, so I'm very sorry, but I don't know how to treat it either."

  "Uncle Li, if even you can't think of a way, then who else can save her?"

  Dr. Li shook his head.

  "What's the worst-case scenario?"

  "Brain death."
