This actor is full of tricks.

In his subsequent recollections, Lin Jue remained an indifferent bystander. No matter what his predecessor had experienced, or what the dean said afterward, he showed no reaction, coldly and calmly observing everything while mentally noting details not recorded in the diary.

Finally, the end of 2014 approached, on December 27th.

"Your strength has increased rapidly, and your body has adapted perfectly. I think you can begin."

The kindergarten director, who had come to deliver medicine once again, stood up and looked at the person in front of him as if admiring his most prized and perfect work.

"Can we make our move now?" The former body lowered its head and repeated softly. In an instant, its eyes turned blood red and it erupted with astonishing killing intent.

He slowly stood up from the bed, rushed to the door, and black veins bulged out from his body, each carrying a terrifying force of hundreds or thousands of pounds, slamming hard against the door.

The heavy door creaked under the strain, collapsing completely in less than three seconds. Outside, the rat stared in horror at its predecessor: "What kind of monster are you!?"

He never expected that his former self would turn out like this. Those black blood vessels were not something a human could possess. His former self now looked more like a fierce monster.

"Monster?" The former gently stroked the black veins writhing around him: "My dear father, wasn't it you who turned me into this step by step?"

The creature's eyes were bloodshot as it glared ferociously at the rat: "You first cheated on me, then killed my mother, and then imprisoned and abused your own son. Don't you think you're a monster? Do you think you still deserve to be called human?"

His tone was filled with intense resentment and chilling killing intent. As soon as he finished speaking, black veins shot out and tightly bound the rat's body, like giant black pythons coiling ever tighter.

The rat was just an ordinary person with a twisted mind; how could it withstand such power? Its eyes bulged out, and it let out a painful roar: "I am your own father! Are you insane? Do you want to kill your own father?"

"Your biological father?" The original owner sneered twice, his expression unchanged. "You found out you were my father when you were about to die?"

The black veins tightened more and more, and the rat's body even made the sound of bones breaking. Its flesh twisted and contorted, and it was almost strangled beyond recognition.

Finally, he saw the hospital director slowly walking out of the room. His previously despairing eyes lit up with hope, and he cried out, "Dr. Qin, save me! Please!"

Before the words were even finished, all the black blood vessels suddenly constricted, and the rat's body exploded, just like its mother had done, scattering everywhere.

"Congratulations, you have fulfilled one of your wishes." The dean stood behind the man in front of him. Even though what had just happened was very uncomfortable, he did not show any emotional fluctuation. The death of one person was a trivial matter to him.

Suddenly, those black blood vessels reversed direction, tearing through the air and piercing directly in front of the dean.

The dean didn't make any move or show any surprise. He quietly watched as the veins pierced through him, but suddenly stopped when they were less than five centimeters away.

"Why didn't you dodge?" The former body's eyes were cold. After the rat died, most of his resentment was released, and his killing intent was no longer as strong as before.

“Because you’re a smart person, you know who’s good to you and who’s not.” The dean casually pushed the black veins in front of him aside and slowly approached his predecessor. “The resentment has dissipated, which is a good thing for you, but also a bad thing.” His predecessor was taken aback: “What do you mean?”

The dean smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to his predecessor: "You'll understand later. Once you've figured it out, you can contact me at the address on this card, and I'll continue to help you."

Not only was the original owner looking at the business card, but Lin Jue also leaned closer.

Qin Lang, Attending Physician of Clinical Psychiatry, Sanjiang Yongning Mental Rehabilitation Hospital

At this time, the dean was just a doctor and had not yet climbed to the position of dean of a mental hospital. Everything was just beginning at this point.

"It seems the dean and my predecessor have a pretty good relationship right now, and he even gave me a business card. Could it be that my predecessor wasn't arrested, but went there voluntarily?"

"Why? Because you want to continue improving your strength?"

Lin Jue frowned as he pondered, reorganizing his thoughts. After reading the diary, he had assumed that his predecessor and the dean had become enemies back then, but it seemed that this was not the case. The relationship between the two seemed very harmonious at present. Because Lin Jue knew what would happen next, he understood that the dean had ulterior motives, but it was undeniable that the other party had saved his predecessor from dire straits.

In the normal course of events, the predecessor and the successor might have become each other's henchmen. The two sides probably only became enemies after the predecessor was admitted to a mental hospital.

"Child, congratulations on your freedom. I look forward to seeing you again. At that time, I can not only continue to help you, but also completely cure your mental illness, so that there is no longer any other person inside your body." After handing the business card to his predecessor, the dean turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

It must be admitted that this is an excellent and patient hunter. He gives benefits at the beginning without asking for anything in return, leaving a good impression on the prey. At the same time, he casts a bait and waits quietly for the prey to take the bait.

Lin Jue, as an observer who knew what the dean had done, could naturally see everything clearly. However, the person involved, the former, obviously did not think so. He tightly gripped the business card, clearly intending to take the bait.

The original owner clutched the business card in his palm, glanced at the blood and flesh scattered on the ground, silently walked into the master bedroom, took out a set of rat clothes from the closet, and then went into the bathroom to take a hot shower.

The former man, dressed in a different outfit, seemed like a completely different person. He stood in front of the mirror, examining his reflection in the dim light, a struggle on his face: "Shut up! I know that doctor had ulterior motives, but he saved you and me. Otherwise, we would have died in that box long ago!"

"I will definitely go to him. He said he could bring my mother back to life!"

"I have no one left in this world I can trust, so I can only choose to trust him this once!"

It seems that the two personalities were arguing about whether or not to trust the dean, but the alternate personality clearly prevailed. The original personality left the mirror, found a wad of crumpled banknotes in a wardrobe, and opened the door.

He had expected bright, dazzling sunshine outside, so he squinted as he opened the door. But instead, it was a gloomy, overcast day, with dark clouds looming overhead and lightning flashing within them. There was no warm sunshine as he had anticipated; instead, a downpour was imminent.
