"She considered buying sleeping pills, but unfortunately, she couldn't buy them without a doctor's prescription."

"She considered jumping off a building, but that would be too ugly. She loves beauty, even in death. Jumping into the river? That would be equally ugly..."

"After thinking for a long time, she finally came up with a plan. Because she was an excellent student, she knew that some chemical elements could also kill her."

"Unfortunately, she couldn't get any more."

"In the end, he didn't die. Instead, he became mentally impaired due to chemical poisoning and became much uglier than before..."

"What do you think would happen if a girl like this knew about her current situation?"

Wu Guodong: "..."

He remained silent.

Looking at Father Zhou and Mother Zhou across from him, and then at Zhou Xiaoran lying on the bed, her mouth and eyes crooked, no longer resembling her former self, he didn't know what to say.

story?

What's the story?

Anyone who isn't a fool can tell that the story ' Lin Fan ' is telling is actually about Zhou Xiaoran.

Believe it or not?

Wu Guodong believed it himself, because Lin Fan had calculated quite a few things over the years, but had never made a mistake.

This is enough to explain a lot.

opposite.

Father Zhou was somewhat taken aback, even shocked.

Mother Zhou went berserk. "What did you say? What makes you say that? What evidence do you have?! Our daughter... has always been so sunny and cheerful, how could she poison herself?! She!!!"

"Impossible..."

Her voice suddenly became much weaker.

Is it impossible?

The elderly couple always believed that their daughter was so cheerful and optimistic that she would never commit suicide.

But Lin·Purple Firmament's words at this moment reminded them of the past, which made it even harder for them to accept.

After all, according to Lin·Purple Firmament, Zhou Xiaoran's parents were the biggest accomplices in this outcome?!

"I know this is hard to accept, but it's the truth."

Lin·Purple Firmament whispered, "That's why I said there's no murderer in this case, or rather, everyone is a murderer."

"Everyone she came into contact with, even if it was just a envious glance, could be considered an accomplice in a sense."

"But in the end, it was she herself who poisoned herself."

What makes you say that?

Mother Zhou cried, wailing, "No, it can't be, our Xiaoran, it can't be..."

"Let her tell you herself."

Lin·Purple Firmament shook her head slightly, and then took out the circuit board she carried with her.

What are you going to do?

Wu Guodong's expression changed slightly, then he whispered, "This is too cruel for them. I know what you said is probably true, but..."

"No buts."

"I'll give it a try; this person is rather pitiful."

"Try what?"

Wu Guodong was taken aback, not understanding what Lin·Purple Firmament meant.

"I know you've always thought I was a fortune teller, or maybe even a Martial Arts Expert or something."

"But actually... I'm a doctor."

Wu Guodong: "(⊙o⊙)... I don't believe you for a second!"

He muttered curses under his breath, but didn't stop him anymore.

Then...

Lin·Purple Firmament didn't give the elderly couple much time to react or refuse. She directly powered on the circuit board and slapped it on Zhou Xiaoran's forehead.

Sizzle sizzle...

A hissing sound was heard, the voltage inside the room became unstable, and the lights flickered.

"What are you doing?!"

"Are you going to kill someone?!"

The Two Elders realized what was happening and rushed forward, shouting.

Seeing this, Wu Guodong gritted his teeth and said, "Ouch, I actually believed your nonsense."

He cursed and ran over to stop the Two Elders...

Sizzle!

Another crackling sound came from the air, and Zhou Xiaoran's short hair became slightly bent. But...

Immediately afterwards, the expression on her face was no longer painful, nor was her mouth and eyes crooked.

Although it still doesn't look the same as it did back then, at least it looks much more normal now.

Open your eyes.

His expression was somewhat blank.

After scanning her surroundings, Zhou Xiaoran's gaze gradually cleared.

This scene completely stunned the frantic the Two Elders, who rushed forward and grabbed Zhou Xiaoran's hand...

"My dear daughter, are you... are you better now?"

"You, can you recognize me? My dear daughter, I..."

The Two Elders opened their mouths, but choked up and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Dad, Mom."

Zhou Xiaoran's voice was hoarse, almost unlike a woman's, but she actually spoke, and her expression was perfectly 'normal'.

"This?... What the hell?!"

Wu Guodong was dumbfounded. "A medical miracle?"

Zhou Xiaoran suffered from chemical poisoning, which, in Western medical terms, resulted in severe nerve damage, and the aftereffects included dementia...

Over the years, Zhou Xiaoran has been in a state of dementia, unable to utter a complete word, completely unable to take care of herself, and has even gradually developed facial paralysis.

But now, after being electrocuted by ' Lin Fan ', she's completely healed?!

This... this...

Wu Guodong couldn't believe it.

But Father Zhou Mother Zhou n't think so much. Seeing their daughter regain her senses, they were overjoyed, but at the same time, they hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Half an hour later...

After a brief explanation, the Two Elders could only manage a wry smile.

Because what Zhou Xiaoran said was almost identical to the story Lin·Purple Firmament told, the only difference being that it was more detailed...

In other words, everything is just as Lin·Purple Firmament said.

There is no murderer in this case.

But at the same time, everyone is a murderer.

The cruelest part is that the Two Elders were actually the biggest accomplices.

It was their strict demands from a young age, their hopes for their daughter to succeed, and their constant expectations that propelled Zhou Xiaoran to greater heights and made her shine ever brighter.

But brilliance breeds envy!

Zhou Xiaoran has mentioned more than once that she wants to change, saying that she is very tired and suffering.

But they didn't take it seriously at the time, just saying, "Just hang in there, it'll pass, everyone's been through this..."

"If, if I had cared about you more back then, I..."

Mother Zhou burst into tears.

Even though Father Zhou was a man, he couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

"Dad, Mom, please don't cry. It's my fault."

Zhou Xiaoran was also crying.

The past twenty-odd years of dementia are like a dream, yet they exist so vividly in her memory. Looking at her parents in front of her, who are completely different from the ones in her memory and have become so haggard, how could she not feel sad?

And all of this is actually because of her own actions...

"..."

Lin·Purple Firmament remained silent throughout.

He simply kept the circuit board pressed against Zhou Xiaoran's head, nothing more.

A miniature Bewilderment Array isn't very effective; it's practically impossible to completely bewitch someone's mind.

but...

Zhou Xiaoran was not originally demented; it was just a sequela of poisoning that caused her to be 'mentally confused,' nothing more.

However, the Bewilderment Array, to some extent, also causes people to become 'mentally confused' when they are affected by the array.

Adding chaos to chaos, should we fight fire with fire?

Of course, that's not the case. In fact, it was only with Lin·Purple Firmament's guidance that she was able to briefly regain her senses.

And this 'case'.

This was not a good case for Lin·Purple Firmament, so naturally she couldn't be happy.

Wu Guodong remained silent, but his eyes were somewhat red.

Seeing Lin·Purple Firmament looking at him, he couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"

"This is only temporary."

Lin·Purple Firmament said, "If I remove it, she will go back to how she was before."

"What?!"

Before Wu Guodong could speak, Father Zhou Mother Zhou in surprise, "This!?"

For decades, they waited, hoping for a miracle every single day, but countless disappointments had long since made them give up completely.

But today, a sudden change has altered everything. Not only have they learned the cause and effect of what happened back then, but they have also witnessed their daughter regain her senses.

Even if I deeply regret my actions back then, what could be more important than my daughter getting back to normal?

But at this moment, Lin·Purple Firmament said that this was only temporary?

Thump...

Mother Zhou knelt down directly in front of Lin·Purple Firmament: "I beg you to save her, I'll do anything you ask, please!"

She cried out.

Over the years, Father Zhou. and Mother Zhou. Zhou have tried too many things.

Chinese medicine, Western medicine, folk remedies, shamans... what haven't I tried?

But none of them could cure Zhou Xiaoran until Lin·Purple Firmament appeared. She simply pressed a circuit board onto her head, which allowed her to recover in a short time, giving her hope of curing her daughter.

"We're getting old."

She cried and said, "I'm already too weak to take care of Xiaoran for much longer, but she's only forty years old. What will she do if we're gone?"

"I beg you, save her, I beg you..."

Father Zhou also knelt down.

But... Wu Guodong helped the two of them up.

"This?"

He was at a loss for words and could only look to Lin·Purple Firmament, hoping to get a reply from her.

"I can save them."

Lin·Purple Firmament spoke.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The Two Elders were about to kneel down again, but Lin·Purple Firmament gently shook her head. "Don't rush to thank me, there are conditions."

The Two Elders nodded repeatedly. "Of course, of course. We'll do anything as long as it's within our capabilities."

Lin·Purple Firmament didn't mince words and immediately started to "make conditions".

"After you cure her, you must set up a Spirit Tablet for me, and offer incense every day with sincere devotion!"

"This... is no problem!"

Is this even a big deal?

Who can cure Zhou Xiaoran and make them sincerely offer incense? They would agree even if it cost them their lives!

Moreover, after realizing that he was the biggest accomplice?

"In addition."

Qi Zixiao pointed at Zhou Xiaoran: "I want her."

"Ah?!"

Wu Guodong was stunned.

What kind of taste do you have?!

The Two Elders hadn't thought of that, and were only taken aback, asking, "You mean...?"

"We need an attendant to serve tea and water," Lin·Purple Firmament said calmly.

Taking advantage of someone's kindness?

She didn't care what others thought; she had her own reasons for making this request!

"However, this is not up to you to decide; she has to make the decision herself."

Lin·Purple Firmament looked at Zhou Xiaoran: "What do you say?"
