The villa is very spacious and quiet inside, and it doesn't look like it has been inhabited for a long time.
However, whether it was the marble floor, the reliefs on the walls, or even the piano in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, they were all wiped spotless. Being used to the darkness and cramped space in old buildings, Lu Xin felt a little restrained sitting in a villa like this.
After sitting down on the sofa in the living room, the man who looked like a butler served tea to Lu Xin and the fat Manager Liu, along with a plate of fruits and snacks, and then quietly withdrew. Taking advantage of this time, Lu Xin gave yesterday's fat man named Liu to himself, and had read it carefully. He even asked Han Bing to help him sign a contract that he had confirmed was correct, and each of them kept a copy.
"Do you have to be completely cured before you can give me the reward of 100,000?"
When handing over the contract, Lu Xin also confirmed it.
"Yes."
Fatty Manager Liu said with a smile, "It's like treating people, it doesn't end until the patient recovers, right?"
Lu Xin nodded and said, "Sometimes, even if you are optimistic, your mental state needs to rest."
Fatty Manager Liu was startled, then smiled quickly and said, "Don't worry, we will take these into consideration!"
Lu Xin was relieved and said, "Where is the person you want me to see?"
Just when he asked this question, he suddenly heard the sound of wheels rolling on the smooth ground from behind a door next to the living room. When the door was opened, three or four staff members in white coats walked in, pushing an upright iron box about two meters high. The box was tightly sealed, and crazy banging and knocking sounds came from inside from time to time.
There was also a faint roar of pain and anger, like a wounded beast.
"She's here!"
From behind the box, an old man on crutches came out. He was wearing a crisp suit and his hair was not messed up.
But his eyes looked a little tired, and when he walked, one of his legs looked a little weak.
"I won't be involved in the specific treatment process. Let the two of you chat."
The fat man stood up, smiled at the old man, signaled to Lu Xin, and then went out with his bag.
At the same time, the staff who pushed the iron box in also walked out together.
In the empty living room, soon only Lu Xin, the old man on crutches, and the iron box that made a crashing sound were left.
"Please sit down!"
The old man on crutches was placed on the sofa, and after asking Lu Xin to sit down, he sighed softly, glanced at the iron box, and said, "Inside is my daughter, her name is Xiao Xiao. She is just twenty-one years old this year. She just graduated from Qinggang New Style University of Main City last year and studied Old Era Art Research and Preservation. Even her mentor often praises her for her talent in this area..."
"She even got engaged just three months ago, and she has a very good relationship with her..."
"Oh, but no one expected that at this moment, she would suddenly... go crazy..."
"No matter what doctor, they can't find a specific reason, so I can only suspect that she was contaminated..."
"..."
Lu Xin thought for a while and said, "Then why are you looking for me? In this area, I am not... very professional."
"I've already found a lot of people!"
The old man sighed in a low voice and said, "I used my connections and invited some experts to come and take a look in private. Although everyone suspected that she was contaminated, they could not detect any abnormal mental power residue. Moreover, we usually live in Main City, and we are relatively strict in the investigation and treatment of Mental Pollution. Logically speaking, she cannot come into contact with Pollution Source..."
"Then..."
Lu Xin frowned slightly and said, "Is she really crazy?"
"No!"
The old man's face suddenly became a little serious and said, "I believe it is absolutely not the case. There is no genetic history in our family, and if she is crazy, it may only be due to strong stimulation. However, I have investigated her experience before the accident and found no major changes. No matter from any angle, she is inexplicable, and she slowly became like this!"
Regarding his obviously fearful attitude, Lu Xin couldn't say anything else.
"Mr. Single Soldier, please understand."
At this time, the Mr. Xu sighed and said, "I am already seventy years old this year. All my previous family members died in the disaster thirty years ago, and she is a daughter I only regained when I was fifty. I think this is God's gift to me, so I will cure her at all costs, otherwise... I don't know what the meaning of life is."
"Just one hundred thousand for a daughter like this..."
Lu Xin said in his heart, "It's only one-fiftieth of this villa..."
But he just thought about it, after all, the contract had been signed.
Judging from the look on this Mr. Xu, he really cares about this girl.
But he was also a little curious because of this, and said, "You care about her so much, but you see that she is already so serious, why don't you hand it over to Special Pollution Research Institute?"
"This..."
Mr. Xu hesitated slightly, paused for a moment, and then replied, "Mr. Shanbing may not know that many people at Main City are actually aware of the existence of special pollution, and are... very concerned about it. If the news about Xiao Xiao's contamination spreads, even if she has been cured, she may be ostracized by many people. In that case, maybe..."
"... It may have a serious impact on her reputation!"
"That would be a more serious outcome for her than death."
"And this is why I will only find someone to see her privately instead of handing her over to the institute. Although I did not go through the official process directly, I still tried my best and found many professionals to diagnose her. What I hope now is that professionals like you can cure Xiao Xiao in private, and... after curing her, continue to keep this matter a secret!"
"..."
After asking these questions clearly, Lu Xin nodded slowly.
Then he finally looked at the iron box seriously, and thought for a moment, "Let me take a look first!"
Mr. Xu took a long breath, nodded, then stood up with crutches, slowly came to the iron box, took out the key from his pocket, opened the lock on the box, and then subconsciously took a few steps back when he opened the side cover of the box.
"Squeak"
The lid of the box popped out due to inertia.
It can be seen that the inside of the box is all sewn with special linings, as if to prevent the people inside from hurting themselves.
But when he looked inside the box, Lu Xin couldn't help but be slightly startled.
I saw that what was locked in this box was a young girl. She was only wearing a nightgown, her hair was messy, and she had several scars on her body, some of which were bandaged, and some of which were just left alone. Although she looked very embarrassed at this time and her eyes were blood-red, it could still be seen that she looked very beautiful, just like a big star on TV.
Tight ties were tied around her neck, hands and feet, fixing her in the box.
There was even a plastic stick in his mouth.
But in this case, she was still struggling hard, and she roared like a beast.
The violent banging sound in the box just now was caused by her beating the box with her only moving head.
Lu Xin couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "What are the symptoms of her madness?"
Mr. Xu's tone seemed a little sad. He rubbed his face hard and then said softly, "Mate!"
Lu Xin was obviously stunned for a moment.
And Mr. Xu already looked a little strangely tired. "Like animals, mating like crazy, with anyone, or..."
He was obviously speechless.
