Chapter 542

~4 min read 654 words

After another night of sleepwalking.

Will went to Hannibal early in the morning to seek psychological counseling.

"I'd better ask, can I assume you are not sleepwalking right now?"

Su Chen lowered his head to grind coffee beans while asking.

And facing Su Chen's teasing, Will also felt a bit embarrassed.

"Sorry to bother you so early."

"You don't need to apologize for coming to see me; working hours are set for patients, and the door to my kitchen is always open to friends."

As he spoke.

Su Chen sprinkled sugar into the coffee and handed it to Will.

"Sleepwalking in adults is not as common as in children."

"Could it be an epileptic seizure?"

Will took the coffee and asked with a heavy expression.

Clearly, his situation was already a bit serious.

He had sleepwalked in the middle of the night many times, wandering hundreds of meters or even kilometers away from home!

Wandering on empty roads without any consciousness.

Is an extremely dangerous thing!

And this also symbolizes that his mental state is already on the verge of extreme instability!

Su Chen was not too worried, stating his own view:

"I think it's ordinary post-traumatic stress disorder; it's Jack who made your hands covered in blood."

"No one forced me to return to the investigation team."

"I wouldn't use the word force; I would choose the word manipulate."

As he spoke.

Su Chen finished making the second cup of coffee and looked up, staring straight into Will's eyes.

The meaning of his words was very clear.

It was Jack who had been manipulating Will to solve one bloody case after another.

Affecting Will's psychological state and even causing him to start sleepwalking now!

This is post-traumatic stress disorder! It was Jack (acca) who single-handedly brought about Will's current terrible state!

But Will looked down at his coffee.

He didn't refute Su Chen's words, silently saying one sentence:

"I can handle it."

"Between denial and admission, psychological trauma is often hidden."

"?"

"Your experience may have broken down the normal functions that gave you a sense of control."

"If my body walks around without my permission, are you saying that's a lack of a sense of control?"

"Isn't it?"

As he spoke.

Both of them took a sip of coffee.

Su Chen also began to answer formally:

"Sleepwalking shows the difficulty of dealing with aggressive behavior; do you have a hard time dealing with aggression?"

"You said Jack treats me like fine china used to entertain guests, but now I'm starting to feel like an old cup..."

"You are trapped in Jack's devil's bargain and can't get out."

"Jack is not a devil..."

Facing Su Chen's subtle sowing of discord.

Will still refuted.

But his tone had already begun to waver.

And he was no longer as firm in his stance as he was at the beginning.

Su Chen's words also made him start to doubt.

Whether it was because of Jack's manipulation.

That he would step by step become the unstable psychological state he is now!

Whether Jack is really as Hannibal said.

Just treating him as a tool for solving cases?

And facing Will's wavering, Su Chen continued:

"When he, in order to achieve his own goals, becomes like this, forcing you to solve cases regardless of everything."

"Even if he isn't a devil, he is certainly no saint."

Instantly.

Will looked down at his cup.

For the first time, he didn't refute Su Chen's words.

It was clear that in his heart, he had already defaulted to Su Chen's statement.

When Jack and the police drove him to solve cases, it was indeed like this...

And only Su Chen accurately hit the thoughts deep in his heart...

Even Will himself didn't realize it.

Subconsciously, he was also resisting such behavior.

And outside the screen.

All the viewers watched Will, who had unconsciously leaned toward Hannibal.

And felt it was incredible!
