The chubby woman thought for a mont and said: "I sold two things, one was my principles, and the other was friendship. I didn’t think they were that valuable and shouldn’t have too much to do with , but after selling them, I found my personality had changed a lot. I beca more and more indifferent to my friends, and even fell out with them over trivial matters. Now I don’t want to contact them or apologize to them."
Her expression showed great pain: "Although I clearly know I’m in the wrong, I just can’t change. Also, I’ve beco increasingly scheming and deceitful in my actions, often hating myself for it."
You said solemnly: "Your family love and motherly affection must be the most expensive, right?"
The chubby woman nodded: "Yes, but I won’t sell those, they are the most precious things in my life, I wouldn’t sell them even if it ans death!"
As if sothing occurred to you, you asked the chubby woman: "Did he give you a na card?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The chubby woman imdiately turned and went into her bedroom, taking out a black card.
"He said, if I want to sell more of my personality, to find him, and if I introduce soone else to him, he would give a commission. Although it felt like a pyramid sche, I did get the money for real, so I held onto the card."
Taking the card from her hand, you dialed the number on it without hesitation, but the phone displayed that the other party was powered off.
"Oh, right, he said to call him at night, as he rests during the day and only starts working after sunset."
"After sunset?" You looked at the ti, and it’s only a little past ten in the morning, still a while before sunset.
When you gave the card back to the chubby woman, she adamantly refused to take it: "Just take it away, I dare not keep it anymore."
You and Zong Wangyue exchanged glances and both smiled.
Zong Wangyue looked at you and asked: "Boss, why did their child turn into a monster like that? Will it happen again?"
Zong Wangyue voiced the concerns of the two won.
After pondering for a mont, you said to the three of them: "Actually, I’m not sure about the detailed process of him turning into a monster, but one thing is clear, it’s the desire to play gas."
"The desire to play gas?" The three of them showed surprised expressions.
"All of us grew up from children, so it should be clear that when we were young, we had no resistance to those novel and fun things, especially boys. At your age, the boys must have been playing with things like the Little Overlord or arcade machines, those first-generation video gas, and they played them obsessively. Furthermore, with family tragedies occurring, part of his heart must have felt a loss, which led him to imrse himself in gas and unable to extricate himself."
The chubby woman and the lady in the business suit looked at each other and nodded in agreent.
"I think, as long as you guide him properly, those malevolent spirits won’t co knocking again."
"Thank you so much." The chubby woman bowed repeatedly.
The lady in the business suit also showed a smiling face: "I didn’t expect reporters from your agency to be so remarkable,"
You smiled and turned to leave, but at that mont, the door opened, and a man reeking of alcohol and disheveled stumbled in from amidst a group of reporters, kicking and shoving them out as he shouted: "I’ve already said, there are no monsters in my house, none! None!"
Afterward, he slamd the door shut.
"Burp!" Turning around, he let out a belch and with a face as red as a monkey’s bottom, he grinned at the lady in the business suit, "Auntie’s here, sit, sit."
As he spoke, he went to grab a chair but tripped over himself, "thud" crashing onto the floor.
The two won exchanged a look and sighed deeply.
Zong Wangyue also sighed and said to you: "Boss, let’s do a good deed through to the end, help them out."
"Hmm."
Without Zong Wangyue’s suggestion, you already knew what to do.
You had just managed to save his son, and his wife had already sold her personality, probably irretrievable, all that remained was to cure the man, and then the family could still be saved. Otherwise, who knows whether he might turn into a monster after so ti.
You walked up to him, extended an index finger, and gently touched his forehead.
Imdiately, nurous fragnts of mories flooded into your mind, and just like opening a folder on a computer, you deleted all information related to his ex-wife from the man’s mory and implanted a whole new mory that could not be altered by anyone. In other words, even if soone told him the na of his ex-wife and that his current wife was remarried, he would not believe it, not even if the facts were laid out in front of him.
This thod was your own creation, sowhat malevolent, but very effective for brainwashing, similar to so religions.
"Done, when he wakes up, you’ll be his one and only wife," you said to the chubby woman.
"What?" The chubby woman was stunned for a mont, clearly not understanding the aning of your words.
Zong Wangyue explained: "What my boss ans is, your husband’s been brainwashed, from now on you’re his wedded wife."
"Really!?"
The woman was overjoyed, not expecting such a turn of events.
"You’ll see when he wakes up." You smiled and then turned towards the door, "I wish you happiness."
"Thank you, thank you!"
Although you couldn’t see their expressions, through their voices, you could truly feel their heartfelt gratitude.
After leaving the neighborhood, in the car, you asked Zong Wangyue: "Zongzi, how many cases like this have there been in Yuhang City?"
Zong Wangyue thought for a mont and said: "There should be around a dozen or so, we’ve contained those monsters."
"Do these monsters attack people?"
"Yeah, Glasses told that these monsters do attack people, they also devour people’s desires. In the beginning, when they hadn’t shown themselves, they acted just like ordinary people, but later on, when the desire reaches a certain level, they would reveal themselves. Glasses said it seems like they feed on desires and various negative emotions, specifically targeting people’s desires and negative emotions."
"How are those monsters doing now?" you asked, frowning.
"Glasses seems to have set up a lab specifically. The monsters are all locked up in his lab."
"Hmm, if there’s ti tomorrow, let’s take a peek at Glasses’ lab and see if he’s figured out a way to deal with them."
Zong Wangyue nodded and then asked: "Boss, where should we head now?"
You clasped your hands behind your head, reclining in the car seat in a relatively comfortable position, looking up at the roof.
"Wait for nightfall."
Zong Wangyue was startled: "Huh? Wait for nightfall?"
