I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror Chapter 280 - 247: The Bug of Talent

Xiaoya entered the nurse’s duty room.

Xiaoqin was still sulking over the pay cut.

Indeed, not only had her already low salary been reduced by five Gold Coins, but prices outside had risen as well.

With this drop and rise, her life would definitely beco even tighter and more difficult.

"Little Ya sister? What brings you to see ? Didn’t I tell you last night that a girl with a broken brain like yours needs more rest and shouldn’t be running around?"

emm...

How should I put this.

Xiaoya felt like she had just been insulted.

"Right, Sister Xiaoqin, do you know if that little boy nad Ji Xiang has a grandfather?"

"Ji Xiang? His grandfather?"

Xiaoqin looked confused, thought for a bit, nodded, and then decisively shook her head.

"I know, Doctor Qin checked his family information when he was admitted. It turns out he did have a grandfather, but he’s been dead for many years."

What?

Xiaoya’s body instantly stiffened.

Dead?!

Then who was the Old Sun residing in the sa room as her?

Hisss?

Could it be that he’s an impostor?

That’s not right!

She had read Old Sun’s mory, and his grandson looked exactly like Ji Xiang!

Xiaoya refused to believe that the world could have such an uncanny coincidence!

After brewing her thoughts and figuring out how to phrase her words, Xiaoya spoke to the nurse.

"It’s like this, today I saw that little boy Ji Xiang you ntioned in the corridor, and then I told Old Sun about his face. He insisted that Ji Xiang looks just like his grandson. What’s going on?"

Xiaoya expected the nurse to be surprised by this situation, but instead, she looked as if she already knew all about it.

"Oh my, you’re talking about Old Sun, the stroke patient? Ah, he thinks everyone is his grandson. He happened to see Ji Xiang once before and stubbornly claid that the boy was his grandson. It’s understandable with a brain hemorrhage, there’s a problem."

Ah?

Now Xiaoya was completely dumbfounded.

And Xiaoqin continued talking.

"You think about it, Old Sun has been paralyzed alone in the hospital for over a decade. If he had a grandson, it would have been before he was hospitalized, right? So now, his grandson must be at least in his teens."

Dammit!

Darn it!

I think I understand!

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck through Xiaoya’s mind.

Old Sun has been paralyzed in the hospital for over ten years?!

Xiaoya pounded her own forehead.

Damn, she really was an idiot!

How could she have missed such an obvious discrepancy?

Shit!

She really was a fool!

Never mind the fact that the old man had been paralyzed in the hospital for over ten years.

Even according to the mories she had read, it didn’t make sense.

Because in Old Sun’s mory, "Ji Xiang" was two or three years old.

And the "Ji Xiang" in the hospital was four or five years old.

But the two "Ji Xiangs" looked exactly the sa, down to every single hair!

To put it simply.

Old Sun might have a grandson, but by now he must be at least in his teens, and what he looked like now, he probably couldn’t even rember.

The reason his grandson in his mories looked like "Ji Xiang."

Was purely because Ji Xiang had appeared before him.

Old Sun, longing for his grandson, naturally incorporated "Ji Xiang" into the mory of his own grandson, so he believed that’s what his "grandson" looked like.

Thus.

The grandson in his mind took on the appearance of Ji Xiang.

At the sa ti.

Xiaoya also discovered a serious problem, situations like Old Sun’s also represented a big bug in her talent, right?

"Read mory"

If the other person’s mory is wrong due to so reason, or has been altered by soone else.

Then what she saw would definitely be mistaken past events...

If she encountered those ntally ill people who acted irrationally, her talent would be completely wasted.

But these were concerns for later.

The urgent task at hand was to resolve the mistake she had made.

"Nurse Xiaoqin, we’re in trouble, I brought Ji Xiang to Room Nine..."

The nurse’s expression stiffened, but she didn’t seem too panicked.

"No problem, you ant well. I’ll just go and bring Ji Xiang back."

Xiao Qin spoke lightly, but for so reason, Xiao Ya’s heart was seized with an indescribable sense of tension.

She had been out for more than half an hour already.

Could sothing have happened between the old man and the child?

Although the nurse claid there was nothing to worry about, her steps quickened.

One had a stroke, the other had autism.

No one knew what kind of sparks could fly between them.

For patients who might have ntal issues, the hospital never let them stay in the sa room.

They were generally paired with a "normal" patient.

That way, in critical monts, they might receive so help.

’Click-click-click’

Xiao Qin’s face turned ugly.

"What’s going on? Why is room number nine locked from the inside?"

But the locks on the hospital room doors were universal, and Xiao Qin imdiately rummaged through her pocket for the master key.

The reason for her grim expression wasn’t the locked room.

It was the uncertainty of who had locked the door? And why lock it?

Ji Xiang, with autism, was not active and indifferent to everything; it made no sense for him to lock the door.

As for Old Sun, there was no need to ntion him, he had been paralyzed in bed for many years.

He had "seniority" even longer than Nurse Xiao Qin herself.

’Click’

Finally, the door opened, and the scene inside was revealed to the two won.

Almost simultaneously, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully.

Both the old and the young seed to be fine.

Old Sun seed to be leaning against the wall with Ji Xiang’s help, sitting up.

While Ji Xiang was sitting obediently at the edge of the bed.

Old Sun had a beaming smile as he chatted away, holding Ji Xiang’s hand.

Xiao Qin frowned and directly scolded the pair inside.

"Who locked the door? Don’t you know the hospital rules forbid locking doors? What if sothing happens to a patient? Even a second’s delay could lead to terrible consequences!"

"It was ; I told my damn grandson to lock it. Can’t an old man have a private conversation with his grandson?"

"He’s not..."

Xiao Ya wanted to tell Old Sun the truth, but seeing his affectionate expression, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

"Ji Xiang, co over here, do not wander off!"

"Oh, okay, Nurse Xiao Qin."

Xiao Ya looked at Ji Xiang in surprise as it was the first ti she heard the little boy speak.

Perhaps Ji Xiang had a special fondness for Nurse Xiao Qin?

As Ji Xiang passed by Xiao Ya, who he had never given much attention to, he suddenly looked up at her and offered a sweet smile.

His smile was so sweet... or perhaps even exaggeratedly sweet...

Although no mishaps as feared had occurred, Xiao Ya felt an increasing sense of unease.

Surely, the conversation they had while the door was locked had to hide so secret.

...

"Kick properly, damn it! You think you can bribe , Old Li? Ha! I’m laying it straight today, even if the Sky King himself ca down, it wouldn’t work!"

Crab special!

What the squid!

Yang Tao’s pretty face was covered in question marks.

What kind of thought process did this rich brother have? Was he sowhat abnormal?

She had seen all kinds of rich patrons, including so weirdos.

But soone like Jiang Xiao,

One second he’s the juvenile, lovelorn, love-struck puppy.

And the next, he turns into an upright and strict, brigade commander persona—this was unheard of for her!

What gives?

Does role-playing mode also allow switching personalities at will?

"Bro, I haven’t trained in that..."

"Bullshit! You think you can fool just because I’m not educated? Didn’t you say your posture is professionally trained?"

Oh my gosh, what the heck.

Yang Tao felt her head ache.

Yes, she had said that, as an exceptionally high-achieving hostess with impressive performance.

Every gesture and movent she made was professionally trained.

But what the hell does that have to do with standing at attention in the military?!
