My organs are too abstract.

Chapter 79 Does your promise to help still stand?

Everyone walked out of the teaching building looking bewildered, their faces still showing a hint of existential daze.

"Brother Li, what's he after?" Zhou Wenyu asked in a low voice, his face full of confusion. "We were almost out of there when he yelled at everyone to stop, then turned around and urged us to leave. I just don't understand this."

Li Chuan stroked his chin, uncertainly asking, "Could it be that he just wants to curse us a few times?"

Zhou Wenyu pondered for a moment, then said, "It can't be that bad—"

The two looked at each other, staring at each other with wide, questioning eyes.

"He even asked us which class we were in, acting like he really considered himself a school security guard—" Li Chuan pondered for a moment before offering his guess, "Could this be a complication of his illness?"

Zhou Wenyu nodded slowly: "Possibly."

Pei Yan, listening from the side, was filled with doubt and couldn't help but ask, "Are there really such complications?"

"Of course there are. Not all patients' complications are routine physical or mental side effects. There are quite a few unusual complications in the industry," Zhou Wenyu explained. "Take a colleague in our department, for example. He suffers from a kind of 'chuunibyou' syndrome. His complication is that he has to sincerely shout out chuunibyou lines in front of people. If he can't do it, his body will gradually become weak."

Pei Yan imagined the scene in her mind and couldn't help but sigh softly, "Just thinking about it makes me feel quite embarrassed."

Q

Zhou Wenyu seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became strange. He shook his head slightly: "That's not necessarily true. For ordinary people, this kind of thing is naturally embarrassing and shameful, but for him, it might actually be a kind of enjoyment."

"In short, the types of complications are incredibly diverse, many of which are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, many abnormal patients behave in a particularly strange way." Zhou Wenyu said, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards Xu Yuan not far away. "I guess he is one of these cases."

"I see." Pei Yan nodded, seemingly understanding.

On the other side, Xu Yuan was satisfied to confirm one thing: after completing the task with his left hand, his left hand had indeed become slightly stronger.

He suddenly recalled the [One Man Against All] exclusive status he had obtained in the haunted house, and a sense of confusion arose in his heart: "I still don't understand the principle behind this. Could it be that my left hand gets stronger just because I'm happy?"

Xu Yuan pondered for a long time, but still had no clue, so he simply stopped worrying about it.

Since we're already here, let's make the best of it and not worry about anything else.

He glanced up at the gradually brightening sky, then turned to say goodbye to Li Chuan and the others: "I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now."

"My colleagues from the bureau will be here soon, wouldn't you like to see them?" Li Chuan said, trying to persuade them to stay.

Xu Yuan shook his head slightly, his tone grave: "No, this matter is very important, I must take care of it immediately."

Li Chuan sensed the seriousness in his tone, and immediately became solemn, asking proactively, "What's the matter that's so urgent? Do you need our help?"

Xu Yuan uttered two words with a serious expression: "Eat breakfast."

"Eat...eat breakfast?" Li Chuan's previously serious expression suddenly froze, his tone full of astonishment. "Is this...that important?"

"Of course it's important." Xu Yuan nodded matter-of-factly. "You guys have no idea how wonderful it is to be able to put aside all your worries and have breakfast on time."

"You might not understand now—"

He paused, recalling the fear of being dominated by his left hand for the past month, and his tone became unnaturally tinged with a sense of vicissitude: "When you get to my age, you'll understand."

"You'll understand when you get to your age—are you older than me?" Zhou Wenyu thought to himself, looking at Xu Yuan's serious expression.

Li Chuan's lips twitched involuntarily. He didn't try to persuade him any further and nodded in agreement, "In that case, let's part ways here."

Xu Yuan turned around gracefully, waved casually with his back to the crowd, and loudly declared, "Until we meet again!"

He then strode away, leaving only a neat silhouette.

"Tsk, just looking at that back view, he's actually pretty cool." Zhou Wenyu looked in the direction he had gone and couldn't help but sigh, "It would be even better if people weren't so abstract."

Li Chuan gently shook his head: "Serious patients are all somewhat different from ordinary people. Compared to those violent and cruel types, he is already quite easy to get along with."

Pei Yan echoed softly, a hint of approval in her eyes: "Although he can be a bit eccentric and unpredictable at times, he's an extremely reliable person when it matters."

Zhou Wenyu thought about how the other party handled the disaster with nonchalance, which was completely different from his group's disheveled state. They were like two completely different people. He immediately nodded: "What you said makes sense. They are indeed very reliable in critical moments."

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he asked with a puzzled look, "Huh, why is he back again?"

"Is there something else he wants to tell me?" Pei Yan followed his gaze.

"Ahem—" Xu Yuan, who had returned, coughed lightly twice, a hint of embarrassment on his face. "Um—"

"Does the help you offered earlier still count?"

"Of course it counts." Li Chuan answered without hesitation.

Xu Yuan scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and asked, "Then—could you lend me some money?"

He turned and left with a carefree air, but after walking halfway, he suddenly realized that his pockets were empty and he couldn't afford breakfast.

"Borrow money?"

Pei Yan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but did not ask any further questions. She simply took out several hundred-yuan bills from her pocket, then emptied out all the loose change in her pocket and stuffed it into Xu Yuan's hand.

Knowing that Xu Yuan didn't want to reveal his true identity, she didn't mention transferring money via mobile phone, but simply asked softly, "Is this enough?"

I only have this much cash on me. If it's not enough, I'll go back to my dorm and get you some more.

"That's enough, thank you so much!" Xu Yuan's face immediately lit up with joy, and he happily clutched the money in his hand.

Holding the several hundred yuan in cash in his hand, Xu Yuan instantly felt much more confident, his back straightening considerably. He no longer cared about the dozen or so yuan in change that Li Chuan and Zhou Wenyu offered him. Looking at Pei Yan earnestly, he said, "I'll definitely pay you back next time."

Pei Yan smiled faintly: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Xu Yuan turned and left again, this time with steady and light steps.

"Someone like him, would he be short of money?" Zhou Wenyu watched him leave, then turned to Pei Yan with suspicion. "Could he be making up an excuse to keep in touch with you later?"

Pei Yan gently shook her head: "Brother Zhou, why are you talking nonsense again?"

Zhou Wenyu's face suddenly fell, his tone full of resentment: "Pei Yan, you clearly have this much cash on you, why did you only give me a few coins and change just now?"

Pei Yan blinked, looking at him innocently: "But Brother Zhou, didn't you say it would only cost eighteen yuan and fifty cents?"

"Huh? Really?" Zhou Wenyu was stunned on the spot.

"Of course." Pei Yan said sincerely, her eyes particularly earnest.

Looking at her, Zhou Wenyu suspected that she simply wanted to see him make a fool of himself, but he had no proof.

"Alright, let's not dwell on these trivial matters." Li Chuan interrupted the two at the right time, his expression turning serious. "This calamity doesn't seem like a coincidence; there's probably someone pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Zhou Wenyu also dropped his playful expression and asked in a deep voice, "Can you guess who did it?"

"Who else could it be?" Li Chuan's tone was calm, but carried a hint of coldness that was hard to detect. "It's nothing more than that group of lunatics again."

"We're fighting on the front lines, and some people are deliberately sabotaging us from behind," Zhou Wenyu said indignantly. "I just don't understand, what good does the spread of this disaster do them?"

"Those people think differently from us; they're a bunch of incomprehensible lunatics. To us, calamity is a disaster, but to them, it's a blessing from God."

Li Chuan shook his head helplessly: "Let the higher-ups worry about these things. We're just small fry, so let's not concern ourselves with them. Let's just focus on recovering from our injuries."

"That's true." Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenyu stopped worrying and instantly became excited again. "This time, I'm determined to stay in the hospital for a full two weeks and get some proper rest."

Li Chuan gave him a disgruntled look: "So you want to take a break? Don't think I don't know you've got your eye on that nurse at the hospital."

"So what? Can't I pursue someone?" Zhou Wenyu said nonchalantly.

Does her husband agree to this?

Zhou Wenyu was taken aback: "I'm pursuing her, not her husband. Why do I need his consent?"

Li Chuan was speechless for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "You really are a genius."

The two chatted casually for a few minutes when Li Chuan's phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, he said to the two of them, "The people from the bureau who are in charge of handling the follow-up matters have arrived."

Zhou Wenyu suddenly lowered his voice and asked seriously, "By the way, Brother Li, do you really think this Xu Hongguang is one of our people?"

"No, even this name is probably a fake identity he made up on the spot," Li Chuan said bluntly.

Zhou Wenyu wasn't surprised by this, and then asked, "So, how should we write it in our follow-up report?"

They weren't stupid; the other person's unusual behavior was obvious. But since the other person had saved them and showed no ill intent, they tacitly refrained from pointing it out.

"Just report according to the normal procedure. Don't deliberately hide anything, and don't delve too deeply." Li Chuan pondered for a moment, then added, "When you report, you can say a few good words for him."

"Understood.
