HPDBC Chapter 117 New Rules for Antique Shop No. 0
Chapter 117 New Rules for Antique Shop No. 0
In ward number three, a burly man with the build of a bear sat on the bed, fiddling with a doll.
Zhang Haocheng took a chair and sat down opposite the burly man, speaking gently:
Did you have a good day?
The burly man fiddled with the doll, his face showing a shy, girlish smile:
"Thank you, Uncle, for the doll. I really love it."
Zhang Haocheng pursed his lips and smiled slightly:
"As long as the little girl is happy."
Little Nannan is one of the personalities that split off from Zhuang Han.
Don't let his current girlish appearance fool you; once his other personality emerges, it will be terrifying.
Because the other personality is... the killer of a series of kidnappings and murders.
In his game, Xiao Nannan is the girl kidnapped by the murderer.
Every time the killer murders one victim, he will kidnap another.
The little girl's personality will die, and another unfamiliar personality will take her place.
Since we came to this mental hospital, many people with personalities like Xiaonannan have died at the hands of the murderer.
Before each personality dies, they all beg Zhang Haocheng to save them.
Zhang Haocheng also genuinely felt pain and sorrow.
It's as if those personalities are real, living people who truly exist in the world.
Suddenly, the burly man's face showed a look of terror, and he screamed:
"He's here! He's here! Uncle, save me!"
Zhang Hao's heart tightened.
coming!
The burly man's expression turned ferocious and cruel. Suddenly, he grabbed Zhang Haocheng by the neck.
"You bastard, looking for trouble again, huh?! I'm not letting you get away with this today!"
Zhang Haocheng was having difficulty breathing, his face turned a deep shade of liver, and he said with difficulty:
"Little girl, don't worry, I can save you this time!"
.......
At the door, the head nurse looked grim, her hand on her chest, trying to calm her pounding heart.
Once this burly man falls ill, two or three caregivers can't even get close to him; he's just too strong!
The dean gave orders that people could only be sent in to rescue the person after Zhang Haocheng had suffered enough.
This requires perfect timing.
......
In the dean's office.
The female dean crossed her arms and looked smugly at the monitor.
She calls the shots at this hospital, and she's used to being a local tyrant.
The doctors and nurses are her soldiers, and the patients are her subjects.
A mere psychologist, already doing well just to collect a salary at the hospital, dares to disobey her?
This young man, who has only recently graduated, must be made aware of the harsh realities of society.
Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes.
She saw Zhang Haocheng take something out of his pocket.
It looks like a pocket watch.
Zhang Haocheng waved his pocket watch in front of the burly man.
Hypnosis?
The female dean almost burst out laughing.
Do you think you're some kind of hypnotist from a movie?
The protagonist of Inception?
Boring and childish!
Gradually, the female dean's expression turned serious as she stared incredulously at the scene on the monitor.
.....
The burly man lifted Zhang Haocheng up as if he were a chick.
Zhang Haocheng's face was flushed, his eyes were fixed on the burly man, and he kept shaking the murder pocket watch in his hand.
Gradually, the fierce and violent look on the burly man's face faded, replaced by confusion and a dazed expression, and he loosened his grip on Zhang Haocheng.
Zhang Haocheng bent over, greedily inhaling the air.
He didn't stop shaking his pocket watch, swallowed hard, and said:
"Are you a murderer?"
The burly man nodded blankly.
Zhang Haocheng said:
"Now, you are under arrest."
Anger and struggle were evident on the burly man's face:
"Let me go! You filthy cops! Don't touch me! I'm not satisfied!"
The burly man kept shouting, his expression changing, but his body remained motionless, as if he were under a spell.
Zhang Haocheng then continued:
"Alright, now I'm the judge, and I sentence you to death!"
Despair was evident on the burly man's face:
"No, no, please give me another chance! Please!"
Zhang Haocheng didn't pause and quickly said:
"You are now being led to the execution ground to be shot!"
The burly man roared:
"No! I don't want to die! You can't!"
Zhang Haocheng spoke rapidly:
"It's too late, your trial has begun! The gun is fired, you're dead!"
The burly man's expression returned to calm.
Zhang Haocheng stared nervously at the burly man.
After a moment, the burly man, speaking in a high-pitched voice, looked around nervously and said:
"Uncle, has he...has he left?"
Zhang Haocheng breathed a sigh of relief:
"He's dead, little girl, you're saved."
The burly man smiled happily, looking at Zhang Haocheng with a face full of shy gratitude:
"Thank you, Uncle. When I grow up, I'll marry you!"
Zhang Haocheng's eye twitched.
Does this seem right?
Applause rang out at the entrance.
Zhang Haocheng turned his head to look.
Several caregivers, nurses, and the head nurse were shining brightly there.
Their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at themselves.
The head nurse's eyes lit up:
"Dr. Zhang, you're truly the first person in history to use hypnosis to treat mental illness!"
The other nurses' eyes sparkled.
The amazing plot that you only see in movies can actually be seen in real life?
This man is amazing and so handsome!
Zhang Haocheng's vanity was satisfied like never before.
He longed to realize his own value, and now he has finally done so.
I'm finally not just a pretty face anymore.
Zhang Haocheng wanted to completely cure the strong man's mental illness.
I'm finally not just a pretty face anymore.
Zhang Haocheng wanted to completely cure the strong man's mental illness.
He turned around, ready to kill the little girl's personality.
However, he saw that "Little Nannan" was looking at him with gratitude and admiration.
Zhang Haocheng felt uncomfortable.
It seems that Xiao Nannan is a real person, a patient who has been with him for a long time.
Killing her would be the same as actually committing murder.
Zhang Haocheng suddenly remembered the name of the pocket watch in his hand.
The Murder Pocket Watch.
So that's how they killed him.
Forget it, let's not touch the little girl for now, we'll deal with it later.
Zhang Haocheng stood up, walked to the head nurse, and said:
"I need to consult with the patient in bed number twelve."
As he spoke, he looked up at the monitor with a defiant expression.
The head nurse paused, lowered her head, hesitated for a long time, and then said:
"Okay, I'll take you there."
......
Dean's Office.
The female dean sat in her office chair, her face filled with shock.
How... how is this possible?
How could he have such great abilities?
So many cases that psychiatrists couldn't handle were easily resolved by a psychologist?
.......
South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop, basement.
The white jade skull resembled the moon, which had been asleep for a thousand years, imprisoned on a magnificent golden throne.
Holding an ancient black box from another era, it seemed as if it were guarding something.
Jiang Chaosheng placed the Soul-Sealing Magic Jar on the ground.
The white jade skull has its jaw slightly open.
The power of the soul surged into the mouth of the white jade skull.
After a while, the white jade skull closed its mouth again and sat quietly.
Jiang Chaosheng picked up the Soul-Sealing Demon Jar, pondered for a moment, and asked:
"Can we communicate?"
The white jade skull stared silently into the darkness with its empty eye sockets.
Jiang Chaosheng then said:
"If I give you more soul power, can we communicate?"
The white jade skull remained motionless, like a real sculpture; even the action of absorbing soul power just now was fake.
Jiang Chaosheng was not disappointed.
He had anticipated this situation.
I can't stay in the basement for too long; I'll have to come back another time to solve the mystery of the white jade skull.
"variable......"
Jiang Chaosheng was startled and turned around abruptly.
The white jade skull was looking at him.
Jiang Chaosheng frowned:
"What?"
The white jade skull's upper and lower jaws trembled slightly:
"arrive."
Jiang Chaosheng's mind raced:
"You said there's been a change? What kind of change?"
The upper and lower jaws of the white jade skull continued to tremble.
This time, after trembling for a long time, he finally uttered three words:
"New...rules."
Jiang Chaosheng could sense that the divine aura emanating from the white jade skull had faded somewhat.
It seems that every word spoken comes at a great cost.
Jiang Chaosheng pressed further:
"What new rules?"
The white jade skull remained completely still, refusing to utter a single word.
Jiang Chaosheng thought of something.
He immediately ran out of the basement and headed straight for the back room.
Next to shelf number '0' in the back room, there was an old-fashioned piece of parchment.
The rules of the Zero Antique Shop were written on the paper.
Zero Exchange
Rule One: The shopkeeper may use forbidden items that violate the laws of nature to trade with customers.
[Rule Two: Each month, the person in charge must contribute a certain amount of their soul power (lifespan) to the forbidden sculpture in the basement.]
[Rule Three: Upon the buyer's death, the owner must retrieve the lost forbidden item or acquire a new forbidden item to fill the vacancy.]
[Note: Violating any of the above three points will result in the shop owner being cursed by the antique shop.]
[Rule Four: The soul of the manager is protected by Antique Shop Zero, making him immortal and indestructible.]
Rule Five: After a shop is transferred, the previous owner's memories will be erased.
Jiang Chaosheng's pupils suddenly contracted!
Because he saw words slowly emerging on the parchment.
Rule number six has appeared!
[Rule Six: For every two forbidden items contained, one can comprehend the secrets of one forbidden item.]
