“Same condition as the boy? He also likes to visit Haunted Houses?” Doctor Gao had managed to pique Chen Ge’s curiosity.

“Low spirited with occasional outbursts. Prefers to be alone in dark places because it gives him a sense of security. Whether he likes to visit Haunted Houses or not, I’m not so sure.” Doctor Gao moved to the side to reveal the young man behind him. “Men Nan, my student, he came to me with his illness about three weeks ago.”

The person behind Doctor Gao was in his twenties, slight of frame, had a tense face, high cheek bones, and dark circles around his eyes. Standing under the sun, tiny droplets of sweat seeped out of his forehead. The young man seemed to be in a tense state, with his head lowered, unable to meet any one’s eyes.

“Surname Men?” Chen Ge tried to make conversation. “That’s rare, nice to meet you.”

The young man’s reaction was weird. He kept his head lowered, and his eyes scanned Chen Ge quickly before softly replying, “Nice to meet you.”

After examining the young man for some time, Chen Ge pulled Doctor Gao to the side. “But, Doctor Gao, why did you bring him here? If you plan to let him visit the Haunted House, I’m not responsible if anything happens to him.”

“Men Nan was a cheerful, confident child, one of my brightest students. He is incredibly talented in the field of personality psychology.”

“Personality psychology?”

“One of the branches of psychology. Generally speaking, it is the science of understanding human behavior.”

“Okay.” Chen Ge nodded even though he still did not quite get it.

“His symptoms appeared three weeks ago without any warning. There is usually a trigger to psychological illnesses, mostly related to one’s family or living environment. However, Men Nan lives alone, and his environment has not undergone any changes recently, so I’m stumped,” Doctor Gao whispered, obviously trying to not let Men Nan hear him.

“After many sessions, his condition has not improved. If anything, it is deteriorating. The young man has always been a patient fellow, but recently, he has been experiencing violent mood swings. He got into a scuffle recently with a classmate simply because the animal patterns on the curtain did not match, and he injured a random stranger simply because the number of sesame seeds on the bun kept changing whenever he counted them.”

“The reasons for his anger sure are unique.”

“Whenever one is under the torment of psychological pressure, even the smallest provocation can lead to an explosion of emotions. Men Nan’s actions made me realize he was in deep pain.”

“But why would you bring him to me?” Chen Ge looked at Doctor Gao and Men Nan. The special visitor was probably one of them.

“Wang Xin’s illness has improved greatly. Her symptoms that were deteriorating improved after meeting you,” Doctor Gao said with a smile. “I’m not a stubborn person. No matter the method, as long as it can cure the patient, it is a good method. I am deeply disturbed by the pain he is in, so I wish for you to lend me a hand.”

“Go on then.” Chen Ge did not reject Doctor Gao.
