Crazy Nezha

Xincheng, Xiaonanmen, a courtyard in a hutong.

Yin Jianshe sat in an old rattan chair with a cup of premium Maojian tea beside him. He dialed Li Tianbao's number for the ninth time, but the phone was switched off.

"That brat, he wouldn't really be out looking for some random woman, would he? It's so late, why isn't he up yet?!"

Yin Jianshe had previously come across an old joke online, about a psychiatrist guiding a patient towards romantic relationships. The patient said he wanted to pull down a girl's pants just to remove the rubber band from her belt so he could flick it against glass...

"Hey, it's good that Tianbao knows how to go on dates with girls, which means he's cured."

"We need to give Guizhi some good news and tell her all about it."

In the courtyard, a gentle breeze rustled through the loofah vines at the base of the wall, and a few old cucumbers had sprouted small yellow flowers on their bottoms. The cucumbers grown in their own yard were far more than they could eat.

Just then, bang! bang! Someone knocked on the door, and Liu Mazi's voice rang out from outside the courtyard gate.

"Eagle King, are you home?"

"Come in, it's not locked."

Liu Mazi and Yin Jianshe are about the same age. They used to hang out in the underworld together when they were young and are old neighbors.

"Where's your nephew?" Liu Mazi asked mysteriously, a sly smile on his face.

"He went out having fun and didn't come back all night!" Yin Jianshe took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

Liu Mazi opened his phone and pulled up a video. "Look at this! Your nephew is amazing!"

"What the hell is that?"

The screen showed a video taken with a mobile phone, in which Li Tianbao was chasing a large black cat on the roof! The cat had a fish in its mouth.

Yin Jianshe suddenly sat up straight. His nephew's movements as he chased the cat were agile and nimble, like a parkour master.

In the scene, Li Tianbao runs across the wall as if walking on flat ground, while a black cat darts away from under the eaves! Li Tianbao doesn't slow down, twisting his waist to the side, his body swinging in a strange semi-circle to avoid the slanting eaves corner.

The big black cat in front was very startled. It scrambled up the tree along the wall and jumped onto the edge of Chen Rui's rooftop in a few leaps. It even looked back defiantly.

Li Tianbao rushed to the edge of his rooftop, leaped into the air, and his body stretched out in a reverse bow shape.

Yin Jianshe's eyes widened. The distance between the two rooftops was at least 5 to 6 meters. Most people wouldn't dare to jump across that distance, and they wouldn't be able to!

Li Tianbao landed on the edge of Chen Rui's rooftop. The black cat dropped the fish, its fur standing on end, and fled. The video ends abruptly there.

"Liu Mazi, did you take this picture?"

Liu Mazi said, "Yesterday at noon, I saw your nephew climbing over the wall like a monkey on the balcony. And there was something even more amazing after that! Something you wouldn't believe!"

"How awesome is it?"

"Outrageously awesome!" Liu Mazi exclaimed, beaming with excitement!

"It's unbelievable. Your nephew was on Old Chen's rooftop, and he took away someone's red underwear, bra and stuff... Hey! It's indescribable... In the end, he bit off a fish head and ate it raw. Holy crap, I almost peed my pants when I saw that."

As Liu Mazi spoke, he gestured wildly and incoherently. "I thought about it all night, read it several times, and I still feel I have to tell you about this. We're old buddies!"

Yin Jianshe frowned. "You're not drunk yet, what nonsense are you babbling about?"

"Watch the video! Get ready!" Liu Mazi swiped the screen and clicked on the second video.

After watching it, Yin Jianshe was stunned for a long time. He saw his nephew taking off his clothes, tearing other people's clothes, wearing other people's underwear... embracing the sky, talking to himself, and finally biting a fish head...

Liu Mazi had watched it several times, but he was still enjoying it immensely. "I'm asking you, isn't it awesome! I want to post it online and gain more followers."

Yin Jianshe smirked. "Is it really that interesting to make this video with AI? Go ahead and post it, post whatever you want!"

As an emotional blogger who has mastered the art of using AI, Yin Jianshe knows perfectly well that this is all AI-generated and fake! He knows his own nephew best, let alone the fact that AI is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

Liu Mazi immediately became anxious, "What would someone my age know about AI? Believe it or not, I'll post it online right now!"

At this moment, the gate to the courtyard was pushed open, and Chen Rui entered with a sullen face, accompanied by a husky.

"Little Chen Rui, you've come at the right time! I'll show you something!" Liu Mazi snatched his phone, intending to shock Chen Rui's worldview.

Chen Rui didn't have time to pay attention to him and went straight to the point: "Uncle Yin, come to the hospital with me."

"What happened?" Yin Jianshe had a bad feeling.

Chen Rui glanced at Liu Mazi, bit his lip, and decided he didn't want to say it in front of Liu Mazi; he had to save face for Li Tianbao.

"It's nothing serious, just tie the dog up at your house."

"Little Chen Rui, look at this." Liu Mazi waved his phone around, and Chen Rui snatched it away and threw it over the wall.

Liu Mazi slapped his thigh, "My brand new Huaguo 17!! My precious darling!" and ran out in a flash.

Yin Jianshe asked, "What exactly happened?"

Chen Rui took out her phone and played two videos sent by Li Tianbao. One showed a headless cow carcass, a cow's skull opened, and a chainsaw and such! The other was a selfie of his…

"I'll call his mother, wait a minute, wait a minute." Yin Jianshe's face was ashen. "This brat has really gone mad."

The call was disconnected after a few rings! A dozen seconds later, Yin Guizhi called back.

Yin Jianshe answered the phone immediately.

The voice on the other end was very low, "Hey. Second brother, I'm in a meeting..."

Yin Jianshe interrupted, "When are you coming back?!"

"Several experts from the provinces are going to have a discussion this afternoon... I can't say for sure."

Yin Jianshe got angry and roared, "Guizhi, your son's mental illness has worsened! You come back right now! What kind of expert is more important than your son?!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the phone. "Second brother, go and take a look first. I've already spoken to Dr. Wang, he has a solution. I'm in a meeting, it's almost my turn to speak, I'll hang up now."

"Where's his father?! Where's Li Liqing?! Tell him to come back!"

On the phone, Yin Guizhi sounded quite helpless, "I can't even get in touch with his father. He has a new mission in Yunnan and Myanmar, he's infiltrated a drug lord's den. He's the only one who can contact me!"

"The way our child turned out is directly related to you two! He had autism when he was little, and we've told you so many times, but you two never took it seriously! All you ever think about is work! work! work!"

"Buying a house for your son, what a good buy! 170 million yuan, and now you can't even sell it for 70 yuan!! All your profits are wasted! Damn it!"

*Beep*, Yin Jianshe angrily hung up the phone.

"Come on, girl, let's go to the hospital."

"Yes!" Chen Rui nodded.

"Woof! Woof!" The husky barked and wagged its tail, sniffing Chen Rui's feet intently.

Chen Rui kicked it away, "Lock the dog in the yard."

"Um!"

……

……

On the other side, Xincheng Mental Hospital.

In Dr. Wang's office, Li Tianbao sat in a chair, looking perfectly normal.

Sun Baoqiang lay on the ground and mooed.

Dr. Wang, his face ashen, put down the latest brain CT scan.

"Xiao Li, your problem isn't serious! But he's the one who really has a problem."

Li Tianbao jumped up, pointed at his nose, and said, "I'm not seriously injured?"

"Moo~"

Dr. Wang remained unfazed, meeting his gaze and saying in a deep voice, "You have a complete logical chain; you know what you're doing! As for him, I'm a little unsure whether he's faking it."

"He's faking it, Baoqiang, stop acting, I'll fucking tell you to stop acting."

Li Tianbao grabbed Sun Baoqiang by the collar, lifted him up, and shook him back and forth.

"Stop pretending! There's no Pisces Alliance! And no one's going to kill you!"

Dr. Wang was slightly surprised. Sun Baoqiang was thin, but he still weighed over 100 pounds. He lifted him up so easily, like lifting a chick. Xiao Li was really strong!

"Moo~ Moo~"

Dr. Wang shouted, "Don't get agitated, Xiao Li, let go! You two both have to stay here in the hospital."

Li Tianbao released his grip, and Sun Baoqiang rolled several times after landing. He then ran amok in the mental evaluation room, crawling around on the floor, sometimes arching against the walls, knocking over chairs, magazine racks, and so on, constantly mooing, looking completely insane.

Dr. Wang slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and quietly observed, his expression calm and composed. He was not flustered at all, as if he had seen even bigger scenes than this.

After watching for about three minutes, Dr. Wang smiled faintly and shouted towards the door, "Old Donkey!"

A burly caregiver in full protective gear immediately entered through the door, his voice booming: "Yes!"

Dr. Wang raised his chin and pointed at Sun Baoqiang, who was crawling wildly on the ground. "This is the person the Public Security Bureau sent over for a forensic psychiatric evaluation. The treatment costs will be covered by the Public Security Bureau's special fund for handling cases."

Old Donkey, as Dr. Wang's most trusted confidant, nodded in tacit agreement. "Should we go with the civil or military approach?"

Dr. Wang said, "Take him to the electrotherapy room and let Director Xu personally perform non-convulsive electric shock, low-frequency pulse stimulation of the brain, and a round of Kaspersky electroconvulsive therapy to correct faith. Go through the whole package."

"Can his body handle it?" the caregiver asked, looking surprised.

"He'll stop when he can't take it anymore, Director Xu will stop!"

"You suspect that this guy is just faking it?" the caregiver said.

Dr. Wang nodded.

The caregiver stepped forward and steadied the agitated and struggling Sun Baoqiang, then carried him towards the electrotherapy room outside.

Li Tianbao, listening from the side, felt envious. "I want one too. I've never been electrocuted before. I want to try it out."

Dr. Wang frowned. "You don't use electricity, so don't meddle here. Has your fever gone down after taking the medicine?"

Li Tianbao nodded: "I retired a long time ago. Can I go see Baoqiang's electrotherapy? I've never seen it before, and I'd like to see how it works."

Dr. Wang's face turned ashen. "Okay, come with me."

"Xiao Li, no normal person can withstand Bassky's electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and faith correction. Based on my experience, that Sun Baoqiang is probably faking it."

Dr. Wang pushed open the door, adjusted his glasses, and a cold light reflected off them. His entire demeanor changed; he was no longer gentle.

Li Tianbao said, "So, was I faking it?"

Dr. Wang turned around, shook his head, and suddenly asked, "I didn't realize you were so strong. Have you trained?"
