Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 317 Start exploring

This is a major breakthrough.

[Mythical Highway] is the Black Dragon’s dream.

Based on this, the 'Dream Ring' may be real and can be used on patients with psychological trauma; what Tamamonomae and Hera said may be true.

By lifting Tianyuan, or propping up the World Tree, or finding the Axe of Creation, Gu Ran will own a territory in his dream.

You can dream whatever you want, and you can also live forever in the territory after death.

The secret of dreams that Zhuang Jing has been exploring for a lifetime will become a problem that will definitely be solved after gaining immortality, just like the sun is destined to go out.

Of course, these are still uncertain. Perhaps they are like the horizon, a place that can only be seen but never reached.

Regardless of other things, the news that [Mythical Highway] is Black Dragon’s dream is enough.

It was so important that {Longing for Villa} canceled his morning exercises and just ate breakfast while listening to Gu Ran and Su Qing report on the matter.

"Why is there twelve seats on the bus?" He Qingyan first asked herself, then asked Gu Ran, "Besides me, Su Qing, Chen Ke, and Xie Xiya, who are the other seven people?"

Without waiting for Gu Ran to answer, she continued, "Counting Su Qing's mother and my mother, there are still five people. If you exclude Wang Jiajia, there are still four people."

Instead of saying "Aunt Jing", she deliberately said "Mom Su Qing". It is clear that He Qingyan said such a long paragraph not to analyze the dream, but to sow discord.

"Gu Ran, I have a task for you," Yan Hanxiang's charming voice was very serious, "Let me get in the car as soon as possible. Each god is a smell that does not exist in the world. Do you know how much you have missed?"

"Gu Ran has helped you so much, why don't you give him some shares of the company?" Zhuang Jing said with a smile.

"Qingyan has a child, and I will give everything to the child."

"What about me, Mom?" He Qingyan was puzzled. "Just skipping me? I can't make any money, Mom."

Her innocent look made everyone laugh, and Su Qing couldn't help laughing the most.

The sun was shining brightly outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The yard, which had seemed like a deep forest in the mountains yesterday evening, was now clean and elegant. Zhuang Jing did not say much about the "Mythical Highway".

Of course she wanted to get in the car, but she didn't want to put pressure on Gu Ran.

What's more, even if she didn't say it, Gu Ran knew what to do. The key point was that this matter was not Gu Ran's, nor hers, so they could do whatever they wanted.

"Let's go through the psychological trauma together today." Zhuang Jing only explained this matter.

She wants to confirm the authenticity and function of the [Dream Ring], and try to find the 'Crash of Tianyuan', the 'Fallen World Tree', the 'Ownerless Axe of Creation', etc.

After breakfast, we arrived at {Jinghai}.

Because Gege had to go to school, Zhuang Jing went directly with them to conduct the general ward rounds.

They were clearly wearing white coats embroidered with the {Jinghai} logo, but Zhuang Jing's temperament was different. In contrast, Gu Ran and the others seemed fake.

"Hello, Dean!" Wherever he passed, there were constant cheers from the mountains.

Zhuang Jing smiled and nodded, her black hair tied up behind her head. She had no earrings, necklaces, bracelets or other decorations. She herself was the most beautiful work of art.

Gu Ran and Chen Ke were very nervous and answered question after question.

The doctors - to be more precise, Su Qing and He Qingyan, the nurses, and the patients, all looked at the two and answered. It didn't seem like a ward round, but more like a test between Gu Ran and Chen Ke.

After the general rounds, Zhuang Jing nodded and left. She still had to go to the ward for rounds. Tong Ling, Jiang Qi, the young lady and the nurses in the ward were already waiting for her.

Inside the convalescent building.

"Who of you will go to school with me today?" Gege asked, carrying her schoolbag.

"We all have something to do today, so please take a day off." Su Qing said.

"what's up?"

"Internal confidential."

"Last time we went on a week-long trip, you also told others about internal secrets."

After get off work today, the four people in Group 2 are indeed going to travel to South City. Fei Xiaoxiao is also going. She deliberately switched places with her colleagues and turned down the trip to Guizhou.

It was the first time that Gu Ran heard that lawyers could be exchanged during court hearings.

The day's work officially began. Chen Ke and He Qingyan went to find Li Xiaoye together. It seemed that there were results in extracting "talent". Su Qing chatted with the girl in sunglasses, Tang Ying.

Gu Ran was waiting for model sister An Yao in the second consultation room he often used.

When the model sister walked in with Miss Youzai with her long legs, Gu Ran was leisurely peeling grapes.

"Continue testing the 'time tunnel' today?" asked the model sister.

"Sit down first. Eat whatever you want." Gu Ran threw the fruit into his mouth and pushed the fruit plate to the center of the table.

The two sat down. Miss Model didn't eat, while Miss Youya opened her consultation notes.

"Don't want to eat?" Gu Ran asked.

"Fructose helps you grow fat more than rice," said the model.

Miss Yuya nodded in agreement.

Gu Ran pulled the fruit plate closer to himself and continued peeling the grapes.

Eating grapes by peeling them is either pretentious or the result of having nothing to do. Gu Ran is the latter.

"Being a model is not easy," he said to the model sister, "You have also paid a lot for your modeling career."

“Even nurses know about dieting,” the model sister replied.

"And the body shape." Gu Ran said.

"It can be done in a month, Doctor Gu. Not counting the professional courses in junior high and high school, you have studied in college for at least two years. Compared with you, what I have is nothing." The model sister said modestly.

"Strictly speaking, I am also in school now, so you can think of it as studying for a master's degree." After eating a grape, Gu Ran continued to peel the grape skin, "But this also proves one thing."

"What's the matter?" asked the model.

"You are a truly beautiful woman."

Miss Youya hesitated whether to write this sentence.

"What do you mean?" Model sister was puzzled.

Although Gu Ran seemed frivolous in front of her, she couldn't be sure that he was teasing her.

“A truly beautiful woman will be valued only for her appearance, which causes her to neglect the development of other parts of herself. Therefore, while she is confident, she will also worry about whether her confidence is superficial and whether her achievements are as easy to collapse as castles in the air.”

"I sometimes have such thoughts," said the model sister.

You don't just 'occasionally', you do it often.

"Do you sometimes think that once your beauty fades, you will be completely useless, with no substance and no professional skills?"

"Doctor Gu, are you treating me, chatting, or attacking me?"

"Didn't I praise you as a real beauty?" Gu Ran, who was eating grapes, was stunned for a moment.

"Yeah, a superficial beauty without substance. Do you think a girl would be happy to be praised like this?"

"Yes."

".Part of it." The model sister also realized that her statement was too absolute, "But I won't."

"Hmm." Gu Ran threw the grape pulp into his mouth. "It is precisely because you can't do it, and you are, that you will get sick."

The model stared at him, as if he had just said 'the child is not mine' and she had only had sex with him.

"Have you ever thought about doing something practical?" Gu Ran's posture of eating grapes made people suspect that he would lift his feet and put them on the table the next moment, just like those second-rate guys in the movies.

“Modeling is a big industry.”

"When I say practical things, I mean jobs that don't rely on beauty. Have you ever thought about that?"

The model sister took a deep breath, as if she had decided to be nice to Gu Ran before getting the child support.

"Yes," she said. "I have thought about opening a training class to teach kids who aspire to be models how to exercise and walk on a runway, and take them to interviews."

"That's fine. Did you do it?"

"No."

"Why?" Gu Ran looked at her while peeling grapes.

It would be fine if he just peeled the grapes without looking at them, but how did he manage to peel the grapes so completely? Was it the grapes' fault?
The model put her hand on her forehead. It was a simple pose that could be photographed for a magazine cover. Two seconds later, she took her hand away in a slightly irritated manner, resumed her sitting position, and said:

"To become a model, one must have good innate conditions. Those who don't have good conditions can't become a model. I opened a shop, what is my role? What I can do, anyone in the modeling industry can do."

"So what you're saying is that the world only needs one model, one doctor, and one lawyer?"

"I don't care about others. I think there is something about me that cannot be replaced."

This is where the idea reaches a dead end.

"And now I have it," the model sister said, "I have a 'time tunnel' in my head, which cannot be replaced by anyone."

"I'll ask Dr. Chen Ke to come over later and hypnotize you." Gu Ran did not respond directly to her.

"Hypnosis?"

"Wait a moment." Gu Ran wiped his hands with a wet towel and then contacted Chen Ke with his cell phone.

Chen Ke happened to be free, so he came over.

"Eat grapes?" Gu Ran gently pushed the fruit plate.

Chen Ke smiled and raised her hand, making a 'no thanks' gesture, and sat down next to Gu Ran.

Gu Ran then continued the conversation.

"An Yao, I hypnotize you to see if you can enter the 'time tunnel' after hypnosis. Even if you can't, hypnosis can guide you to open your mind, and some things may suddenly become clear to you." He said.

"I've heard of hypnosis. You won't take this opportunity to do anything to me, will you?" The model sister looked at him suspiciously, as if he had been standing in front of the fruit-bearing peach tree in her home and refused to leave.

"Hypnosis has different levels of depth. This time we are only at the shallow end. Don't even mention what we are doing to you. Even if we ask you to say the name of the female singer, you will wake up."

"What about deep hypnosis? Can you do evil to me?"

Gu Ran was a little speechless: "I have medical ethics and conscience, not to mention the hospital regulations and national laws."

His joking pause made An Yao more suspicious of him.

Why do laws exist? Isn't it because people always do bad things? Laws are made after crimes occur, so they are lagging behind.

"An Yao, don't worry," Chen Ke said with a smile, "I am the hypnotist, not him."

"That's good." An Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Miss Youzai went to make preparations with An Yao, and the only counselors were Gu Ran and Chen Ke.

Gu Ran clasped his hands behind his head and lay back: "Let them leave the hospital quickly. I will start a new life when the next batch of patients come in."

"What's wrong?" Chen Ke asked with a smile.

"Haven't you noticed the image of me in their minds?" Gu Ran asked back.

Chen Ke looked at him for two seconds, and then said in a joking tone that everyone knew was serious: "You can't hypnotize her, but if she is awake, you can."

Gu Ran looked at her.

"Hmm?" Chen Ke smiled gently.

Gu Ran reached out, took her left hand, and squeezed it gently.

"You can't get drunk. Next time, come when I'm sober," he said.

Chen Ke was so embarrassed that she wanted to pull her hand away, but Gu Ran held it and wouldn't let her go.

"Hmm?" Gu Ran asked teasingly.

"." Chen Ke covered his face with his right hand.

"Ok?"

".good."

Gu Ran laughed out loud.

This was originally a joke, but after it was finished, both of them were looking forward to the trip to South City which would start tonight.

Chen Ke's hypnosis had little effect on An Yao.

Gu Ran was like facing a tangled pair of wired headphones, unable to untangle them with his hands, but also unable to cut them with scissors.

Anyway, take the medicine first.

"Is taking medicine useful?" asked the model sister.

"Of course. If the medicine doesn't work, what about the patients in the neurology department? Although I don't understand the details, matter and spirit must communicate at the molecular level."

After thinking about this carefully, the model sister said, "How magical."

In addition to psychiatric drugs, he also prescribed sleeping pills to help the model sleep better.

"When you wake her up every morning, remember to make sure she has slept well," he said to Miss Youya.

"Yes, got it."

It was noon, and after lunch and a nap, when it was time for the afternoon class, Group 2 of four went to the ward to prepare to participate in Zhuang Jing's experiment.

They are the little lady's patients. With her understanding of the patients, she is able to lead them accurately to the patients' [psychological shadow].

It was like a swamp, with only one obscure path through it, which the little woman had already found.

After entering the "swamp", Gu Ran and his team did not go to save the patients, but chose to look for the "Tianyuan" and "World Tree" in the swamp.

In the operating room, six doctors, Zhuang Jing, Yan Hanxiang, Su Qing, He Qingyan, Gu Ran, and the young lady Zhang Ying, put on surgical gowns.

There are endless wild grasses, the night is like a veil, and the moon looks like a moldy bone.

Barren grass plain.

"Gu Ran." Zhuang Jing looked at Gu Ran.

"Yeah." Gu Ran nodded, then raised his hand and held the [Curved Shepherd's Crooked Staff] in his hand.

Now that he is becoming more and more proficient, he believes that in the near future, he will be able to try to master the second dream of the [Curved Shepherd's Crook] - summoning a sheep to eat away the psychological shadows like eating grass.

This can be used to treat diseases as well as to save yourself.

"Why don't you try the effect of the dream ring first?" Su Qing asked.

"Try it on the road." Zhuang Jing said.

The little woman stood silently aside. When she signed the lifetime agreement and confidentiality treaty, she had guessed that {Jinghai} might have some secrets.

So far, apart from being occasionally called to the office by Zhuang Jing and receiving a massage from Gu Ran, she hasn't discovered anything.

Is the outcome finally coming to light now?

Gu Ran closed his eyes, and the light and shadow of the World Tree on the dwarf's tomb emerged in his mind.

He opened his eyes.

"How is it?" Yan Hanxiang couldn't help but ask.

Gu Ran looked around at everyone and nodded, "Found it."

Zhuang Jing and the others didn't say anything for a while. It seemed that if they moved their bodies, the surging thoughts in their hearts would spill out like water, making them lose their composure.

《Personal Diary》: Friday, October 9, Jinghai
Started to explore the world tree.
It was so much like the kind of thing that, years later, people would look back and say, “It all started with that.”

Actually, it’s not that serious. Like Qingyan, I really like going on adventures with everyone, just like the third part of “JoJo”.

I want to be a character like JOJO and bring a sense of security to everyone.

However, the existence of Nurse AB makes me think that she is a villain who can stop time.

I hope it will be successful. I want Aunt Jing and Aunt Xiang to have no wrinkles on their faces until the day they die, and to remain forever young and energetic.

"Doctor's Diary":
An Yao suffers from a serious lack of self-esteem.

(Zhuang Jing's comment: Take her hiking to relax her mind, and we can talk about other things after we come back.)
