Crazy Nezha

In the hospital corridor.

Several patients stood motionless against the wall, their eyes vacant and numb; others were animated and talking to themselves, while medical staff occasionally moved among them.

Dr. Wang adjusted his glasses and ran quickly! He had just received news that Han Dazhuang had gone to find Li Tianbao with a fire extinguisher!

Yin Jianshe jogged after him, "Dr. Wang, you said that Han something-or-other, he's a mixed martial arts fighter?!"

Dr. Wang hastily and casually introduced, "Dazhuang's real name is Han Zhengang. He practiced Bajiquan since he was a child, and later switched to mixed martial arts, participating in professional competitions... Once he develops a split personality, he's a walking time bomb! Five or six caregivers might not be able to hold him down!!"

Yin Jianshe stumbled and nearly fell, exclaiming in alarm, "Then my nephew is probably in grave danger!"

"It's alright! It's alright!! Dazhuang has been recovering very well lately, he should be able to control it, he should be able to..."

Yin Jianshe looked worried and touched the switchblade he carried in his pocket. If his nephew was really badly injured, even if the other party was mentally ill, Yin Jianshe would break the law to get revenge for his nephew!

In the blink of an eye, Dr. Wang was standing frozen at the ward door!

In the ward, Li Tianbao's feet were upside down on the ceiling!

Li Tianbao pushed off with both feet, using the force of his fall to deliver a powerful punch from above, striking Han Dazhuang squarely on the top of his head!

"Thump!"

With a muffled thud, Han Dazhuang's momentum came to an abrupt halt. He shook his head and fell straight forward.

The stool that had just been thrown landed and hit Han Dazhuang squarely on the head.

When Li Tianbao landed, he felt a sense of relief. "Looking at the burly man lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, he broke out in a cold sweat."

The power controlling Li Tianbao disappeared, and the childlike voice of the red fleshy figure in his mind rang out again: [I held back, that fat guy won't die. I'm going to sleep now, you should cultivate...]

The ward was silent for about ten seconds.

One of the caregivers reacted and shouted, "Holy crap! Xiao Li, how did you do that?"

Everyone could see clearly that Li Tianbao jumped up first, stepped on Han Dazhuang's knee, and then jumped up again, punching Dazhuang down from above.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh~" Han Dazhuang lay face down on the ground with his head buried in his hands, his palms clasped together and he bowed repeatedly, "I give up, I give up."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Dazhuang could still speak.

Dr. Wang stared in disbelief, "Xiao Li!!"

Yin Jianshe also witnessed what had just happened. He gasped, a look of pride in his eyes, and inexplicably gave a thumbs up.

Li Tianbao stood there silently, contemplating the feeling of losing control of his body, lost in thought.

At this moment, the caregivers used buckle restraints to control Han Dazhuang.

Chen Rui approached with a look of heartache, recalling Li Tianbao's incredibly domineering words from earlier: "Dare to touch my woman!" A strange sweetness welled up in her heart. She grasped Li Tianbao's swollen hand, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt at all." Li Tianbao forced a faint smile despite the pain. He withdrew his hand, which trembled slightly behind his back, the skin on the back of his hand cracking.

Dr. Wang listened to the report from a nurse beside him, his brow furrowed. Li Tianbao and Han Dazhuang fought to a standstill, and finally, Li Tianbao stepped on Dazhuang's knee and jumped up, like a circus act... defeating Dazhuang.

Putting aside Li Tianbao's agile movements! With his normal physique, how could he possibly exchange blows with Dazhuang in his berserk state?! What kind of explosive power and reaction speed is that?!

Dr. Wang asked cautiously, "Xiao Li, how did you do that? How did you defeat Dazhuang?"

Li Tianbao was indeed panicked at the time; it was a stress reaction. He didn't want Chen Rui to get hurt, plus the fat man had really gone too far! Who knew it would awaken the lump of flesh within his mind…

Dr. Wang: "Xiao Li! Say something!"

Li Tianbao said, "He dared to touch my classmate! So I hit him like that."

Chen Rui was examining the injury on Li Tianbao's hand when she heard the word "classmate." Her face darkened, she shook off his hand, turned around, and went to the nurses' station.

Dr. Wang: "How can you fight so well? It's like something out of a kung fu movie."

Li Tianbao shook his head.

……

When Chen Rui returned from the nurses' station, she was holding a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao.

At this moment, Li Tianbao sat on the edge of the bed, gazing out the window in deep thought.

Sun Baoqiang was gently applying iodine to Li Tianbao's hand. "Brother Tianbao, I always thought you were a mage, but I didn't expect you to be so good at close combat too."

"Brother Tianbao, are you feeling better? I have some gauze left, shall I bandage it for you?"

Li Tianbao: "No need for that trouble, it'll be fine in a couple of days."

Chen Rui bit her lip, and seeing the little thief's appearance, she was instantly furious! She slammed the Yunnan Baiyao on the bedside table!

Li Tianbao picked up the Yunnan Baiyao (a traditional Chinese medicine) and examined it, then handed it to Sun Baoqiang. "Baoqiang, this treats external injuries and disinfects. Don't use iodine to burn your foreskin tonight, use this instead!"

"Thank you, Brother Tianbao."

Li Tianbao: "You should thank the Holy Envoy of the Pisces Alliance."

Sun Baoqiang turned sideways and clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Your Excellency."

Chen Rui's face turned ashen. She composed herself, her chest heaving again.

Li Tianbao said, "Chen Rui, did you leave my husky with my second uncle?"

"Chen Rui, I'm talking to you."

"Hey... When you come home at noon, please feed my dog ​​for me. His name is Harry, and he likes to eat Lanzhou noodles."

Chen Rui turned around and strode away without looking back. "I'm going to kill that dog right now and make dog meat soup."

Li Tianbao hurriedly chased after her, "She can't cook at all! She even braises dog meat! Hey, wait for me, let me explain, Chen Rui!"

"Get lost—leave me alone."

……

……

On the other side, Dr. Wang paced back and forth in his office, glancing at his phone every now and then. His expression shifted between excitement and confusion.

Twenty minutes ago, Dr. Wang sent several videos of Li Tianbao to Yin Guizhi, Li Tianbao's mother, along with a long text of analysis.

There were people chasing cats; people dancing on the rooftop; people jumping on the rooftop; and someone even knocked over Han Dazhuang's surveillance camera.

The phone rang, and Dr. Wang answered it.

"Hey, senior."

"Yutian, I watched the video you posted. What exactly happened to my son?"

Dr. Wang said, "Senior, do you still remember Professor Jiang's paper?"

On the phone, Yin Guizhi's voice sounded puzzled, "You mean... what does that have to do with my son?"

"The Mechanism of Central Nervous System Overlimit Potential Explosion under Extreme Stress"

Dr. Wang held his phone, his excitement barely concealed:

"Senior, it's that paper by Professor Jiang Mingyuan that was criticized as pseudoscience by the academic community. The core conclusion is: the human brain has an unactivated emergency protection domain that, under stress, forcibly awakens unknown potential in the brainstem and limbic system, triggering uncontrolled physiological and psychological mutations!"

On the other end of the phone, Yin Guizhi's voice sounded puzzled: "You mean... Tianbao's condition confirms Professor Jiang's conjecture?"

"Yes. Do you remember the real-life examples cited in your paper back then?"

"During the earthquake in the 1970s, a couple was trapped under the rubble by a precast concrete slab. To protect their three-month-old baby, the two of them worked together to lift the broken slab, which weighed 1200 pounds, for a full 127 minutes. The moment the rescuers pulled the baby out, the two of them collapsed from exhaustion and lost consciousness. The precast concrete slab had broken their spines on the spot."

"In 16, in the Hongtaiyang residential area of ​​Hangzhou, a food delivery driver saw a 3-year-old child fall from the 7th-floor window. He rushed over from 30 meters away and caught the child before he hit the ground, a speed that surpassed the world record! Unfortunately, the delivery driver suffered brain death on the spot."

"In 2021, a 19-year-old girl from Xida University was attacked by a brown bear while hiking. She killed an adult brown bear with her bare hands. The girl was just an ordinary art student. Half an hour later, the girl was brain dead."

Dr. Wang paused, his expression complex:

"But these cases have one thing in common: the burst of potential is a one-time event, and the price is death! But your son is different; he gets more and more outrageous each time!"

Yin Guizhi: "It's a pity that Professor Jiang passed away last year. What will happen to my son? Will something happen to him?"

Dr. Wang: "Professor Jiang's daughter has been researching this field! I can contact her!"

Yin Guizhi: "Her daughter?"

Dr. Wang, suppressing his excitement, said in a deep voice, "His daughter's name is Jiang Baiyue, and she's a neuroscientist! Senior, Li Tianbao is your son, and I want to respect your opinion."

After a half-minute silence on the phone, he said, "I'm taking the high-speed train back now!"

"good!"

"Yutian, please contact Professor Jiang's daughter for me. I'd like to hear her opinion."

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Dr. Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

He scrolled through his contacts and tapped on [Jiang Baiyue's] phone number.

Beep beep beep—the call was connected.

A clear, cool, and magnetic female voice came through the receiver; it was very pleasant to listen to.

"Who is it?"
