Chapter 110: Pathological Lover

~7 min read 1,239 words

When he heard his shout, Qi Dongjun looked back at him, his still young and handsome face revealing strange hatred, the dripping sharp knife still held in his hand.

"You killed your mother!" He gritted his teeth, like a leopard ready to attack at any time.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Qi Fei's voice still carried the childishness of a teenager.

Suddenly, the Qi Dongjun in front of him turned into Zhong Kui's appearance, looking at Qi Fei with that hateful look, raising her hand and pointing at him, as if still saying, you are the murderer.

Qi Fei opened his eyes suddenly. The room was blue-purple at dawn.

Everything in the dream was so real. His heart was beating violently, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep.

Qi Fei sat on the edge of the bed and was in a daze for a while.

As if his subconscious was reminding him, he had seen that look from Zhong Kui before. It was on Qi Dongjun's face, that firm look of hatred, identical.

However, Qi Dongjun and Zhong Kui seemed to be two people with no intersection at all.

Why did they have to make the same action toward him.

When Jiang Tianyi opened the door, he was surprised, and then showed a warm smile: "Qi Fei? You haven't been to me for a long time."

"Doctor Jiang, I've started dreaming about content related to my dad again," Qi Fei said haggardly. "Sorry for disturbing you without an appointment."

"It's okay, I'm free today," Jiang Tianyi said, turning to pour a glass of water for Qi Fei. "I heard you met a while ago. That Hong Mei case is very sensational. I see all kinds of versions online."

"Today Captain Liu should convene a press conference to announce the investigation results. Rumors stop at the wise." Qi Fei sat in the place he was most accustomed to. "I don't know if it has anything to do with meeting him. After so many years, I still can't forgive him."

"You also haven't reconciled with yourself," Jiang Tianyi hit the nail on the head.

"However, last night was different. I dreamed that my dad turned into someone else," Qi Fei hesitated and finally said.

"Oh?" Jiang Tianyi pushed his glasses, as if he had heard a very interesting thing, and turned to face him: "Turned into who?"

Qi Fei hesitated, just like last time.

Jiang Tianyi didn't press him and sat in his seat: "It's okay, tell me when you're ready."

"It's someone I fell in love with. However, she isn't even a real person," Qi Fei found it hard to speak and could only say circuitously.

Jiang Tianyi's hand pouring water stopped.

Then he turned to face him: "You mean Zhong Xiaoyu, oh, no, it should be Zhong Kui now."

Qi Fei asked in surprise: "When did you know?"

Jiang Tianyi said calmly: "Last time you were so concerned about Xiaoyu's affairs, I guessed eight or nine points. However, I truly confirmed it because Zhong Kui came to find me."

"Ah? How did she?"

"I'm in Nancheng, she knew before."

"What did she find you for?"

Jiang Tianyi's gaze fell on Qi Fei and said: "She said she needed my help to wake up Zhong Xiaoyu."

"You did it?"

"Whether as a psychologist or Xiaoyu's senior, it's the best opportunity for treatment if her separated personality is willing to take the initiative to hand over control. Of course, I would do it. Unfortunately, my level isn't enough, and I failed."

"Doing this will kill Zhong Kui!" Qi Fei said excitedly suddenly.

Jiang Tianyi looked at Qi Fei worriedly: "Qi Fei, you said one sentence very correctly just now. Who you fell in love with isn't even a real person. She is a personality, do you understand? A personality created by Zhong Xiaoyu using her radical experimental method."

Qi Fei didn't believe it and said stubbornly: "No, she said she has already occupied Zhong Xiaoyu's body, and now this person is Zhong Kui."

"Personalities can also lie, Qi Fei. The process of curing Zhong Xiaoyu is the process of Zhong Kui disappearing or being integrated. She will eventually disappear. The current Xiaoyu is sick, mentally sick," Jiang Tianyi said earnestly. "I know your childhood experience makes you have different expectations and obsessions with love than others, but Zhong Kui is not an object you can fall in love with."

Qi Fei avoided this topic. He only cared about Zhong Kui: "Doctor Jiang, you didn't fail. When I was investigating with Zhong Kui that day, Zhong Xiaoyu suddenly occupied the body. I don't know if this situation has anything to do with waking her up actively before. I just feel that the mental state of the awakened Zhong Xiaoyu is out of control. I just want to know, from your experience, what is her situation now?"

"A very dangerous situation," Jiang Tianyi answered decisively.

"Then what should I do?"

"Qi Fei, you should know better than anyone that except for Xiaoyu herself, no one can help her."

Qi Fei slumped back against the chair and said, "Doctor Jiang, I am certain that the one I love is Zhong Kui, not Zhong Xiaoyu. Is there any way to make it so that both of them can be alright?"

Jiang Tianyi heard this and smiled helplessly: "You know, we live in a real world. Zhong Kui's appearance is just because Zhong Xiaoyu is sick. As a psychologist, I cannot provide you with any suggestions to maintain Xiaoyu's pathological state. The result of moving toward healing is inevitably Zhong Kui's disappearance. Qi Fei, give up early."

"Why did I dream that Qi Dongjun turned into Zhong Xiaoyu?"

"Because your trauma and desire are changing because of Zhong Kui's appearance. You are afraid that Zhong Xiaoyu will take away the person you love like Qi Dongjun. Qi Fei, you already knew this truth before you came to me. You don't need to find the answer here."

In the small wooden house, Zhong Kui stood in front of the window, the wind blowing the gauze curtains, the gauze curtains brushing past her hair.

"Auntie, spring is coming soon," Zhong Kui said suddenly.

"Great Immortal, promise me, don't go down the mountain again," Auntie Meng said earnestly.

"I'm fine," Zhong Kui said calmly.

"You decided to be a consultant at the Nancheng Police Station for him, and you broke the agreement to wake up that woman also for him. What is so special about him?" Auntie Meng finally couldn't help but ask.

"He is the key to unlocking my final secret," Zhong Kui stared at the distant mountains. "The meaning of my existence is to take back that monster. My destiny is to disappear with the monster. Zhong Xiaoyu knows who Qi Fei is, and he is too close to the monster. My intuition can smell that dangerous aura. I cannot miss this opportunity."

"Great Immortal, Auntie is a person who has come before. Whether you go to catch ghosts or exorcise demons, Auntie only listens to your arrangements. However, I can see that you are not as simple as you say about that kid. You have moved your feelings. I am afraid you will sacrifice yourself because of him."

"Hmph, no. There is no option of moving feelings in my settings," Zhong Kui said immediately. "I just think it's very interesting." ===== CHAPTER 111 =====
