Wu Cheng held the Black-faced god statue, filled with determination. He quickly walked out of the basement and headed towards Li Xiaoting's old home. His emotions were contradictory and complex, both hopeful and worried, knowing that he was about to face a place full of memories and secrets.
Wu Cheng's emotions became more complicated. He was filled with nostalgia for the past, with countless questions and confusion in his mind. Since he left his mark in the mine tunnel, his connection with Xiaoting had deepened. Previously, Xiaoting would only appear when he was in extreme danger, but now she seemed to have become his guide, sometimes he only needed to close his eyes to hear her voice, guiding him forward.
He has learned all the mysteries of the past, from the eerie shadows in the temple to the disappearance of the villagers, from the mysterious Mosina Goblinoid to the cult in the town, and even the truth behind the bomb explosion. But what he cares about the most is why Xiaoting suddenly disappeared. After learning all these truths, a firm determination ignited in his heart, and he no longer felt fear for this foggy town. Despite everything, he must rescue Xiaoting and save her from that eerie and terrifying world.
Elsewhere, Yang Jing is tirelessly tracking Wu Cheng's whereabouts. He has gathered a lot of information related to Wu Cheng using his connections in the journalism industry. This man used to be an excellent detective, but he closed his office three years ago. It turns out that Wu Cheng's mental state gradually deteriorated during this time, starting from insomnia five years ago, he became increasingly anxious and neurotic.
In order to heal his emotional trauma, he sought professional help and went to a place called "Tranquility House Therapy Clinic" for treatment. Yang Jing followed this lead and soon found the attending doctor at the time, Supervisor Zhang.
Supervisor Zhang is a middle-aged man who wears round glasses and always has a serene smile on his face. His eyes are deep and exude a quiet wisdom. His face is covered with fine lines, seemingly the marks of time and experience, but these lines do not affect his grace and composure. His eyes seem to penetrate the heart, giving people an uncomfortable feeling, as if everything is exposed clearly in front of him. His long hair is gray and neatly combed behind his head, showing his tidiness and meticulousness. He always dresses professionally, and his white doctor's coat shows his rigor and calmness. His movements are slow and orderly, as if each action has been carefully considered. His voice is gentle and measured, without a hint of impatience, yet it can capture attention and make people listen involuntarily. He exudes a unique atmosphere, making it difficult to grasp his true thoughts. Some say he is a person with rich experiences but also has a hidden side. His smile often makes people wonder if there are more stories and secrets hidden behind his serenity.
Talking to him is like being on a quiet lake, where you can feel his calmness and inner peace. At the same time, you can also sense his control and confidence; he seems to know a lot of things but is not in a hurry to reveal them all. His presence always makes people want to dig deeper and unravel the mystery behind him. Supervisor Zhang and Yang Jing sit in a quiet room, discussing Wu Cheng's condition. Yang Jing's questions become sharper, but Supervisor Zhang's answers always cleverly avoid some important points, leaving Yang Jing feeling very confused.
Yang Jing is somewhat dissatisfied with Supervisor Zhang's answers. He feels that Supervisor Zhang seems to be well aware of Wu Cheng's past issues but deliberately avoids discussing them. He decides to directly ask Supervisor Zhang what the most common treatment Wu Cheng received during the therapy process was.
Supervisor Zhang listened to Yang Jing's question, first sneered, then put away his cunning expression and became very serious. His eyes flickered in the light and shadow, as if hiding many secrets.
"Wu Cheng," Supervisor Zhang spoke, his voice slightly sly, "he is one of the most interesting patients I have ever seen."
Yang Jing looked at Supervisor Zhang in amazement, understanding that the chief physician's words definitely held deeper meaning.
Supervisor Zhang continued, " Wu Cheng's insomnia problem is indeed quite severe. Sometimes he can't sleep for two or three days in a row, but at some point, he can sleep for two or three days straight. His sleepwalking problem is even more troubling. Sometimes he can't even distinguish whether he is in a dream or in reality. His sleepwalking behavior leads him to walk to various corners of his home, and even onto the streets."
In order to clarify his own inner issues, Wu Cheng sought hypnotherapy from Supervisor Zhang, hoping to communicate with his subconscious and unravel the fog in his mind. Yang Jing knew that the core of the mystery had finally emerged, and he was eager to know what would happen next.
However, at this moment, Supervisor Zhang put on a difficult expression, seeming hesitant to speak. He repeatedly prepared to speak, but then immediately said it was nothing. Finally, he said to Yang Jing, "Oh, this involves personal privacy issues. I've already told you so much, which is actually not very appropriate."
Yang Jing did not want to give up. He took out a stack of thousand-dollar bills to show his sincerity, hoping to clarify some things. He said to Supervisor Zhang, "A little sincerity should be able to smooth things over, right?"
Supervisor Zhang looked at the money in his hand and showed a slight smile. He seemed to be moved by Yang Jing's sincerity. He said, "Since it's come to this, I'll say a little. But don't go talking nonsense. I haven't even mentioned this to him in person."
Yang Jing nervously swallowed, anticipating what Supervisor Zhang was about to say. The sound of his heartbeat quickly rang in his ears, and he felt as if he were standing on the edge of a mysterious abyss, ready to step into it at any moment.
Supervisor Zhang's smile gradually disappeared, his gaze became vacant, and he stared blankly at Yang Jing for a moment before speaking, "Who killed Xiaoting?"
This sentence seems to be a heavy bomb thrown into Yang Jing's heart. He felt a wave of surprise, not expecting Wu Cheng's subconscious to directly ask such a question. And this question seemed to have a long-lasting impact on Wu Cheng. For the mystery behind it, Yang Jing felt very excited and stimulated, but at the same time, it also made him very nervous because it involved a terrible truth, a truth that perhaps even Wu Cheng himself was unwilling to face.
