but……

"Just stand here and look; don't go inside."

Qin Yu glanced at the traces of tears glistening in her eyes and offered this reminder.

At this moment, Kevin and Kosmo, who were further back, were also somewhat taken aback.

They had fought alongside Hen on more than one occasion.

Kosmo, in particular, was a young soldier trained by Hen.

But they had only seen it once, and only once, that Hen showed such an expression.

At that time, the latter learned of Blanca's 'death'.

at the moment……

"Let me explain anyway."

To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings between the two parties, Qin Yu stated frankly: "When we said before that Gretchen's mental state is very unstable, it doesn't mean that she will act like a mental patient and do some hysterical and illogical strange things."

"Instead, this little girl, no matter who she spends a lot of time with, will slowly 'become' the other person."

"We call this phenomenon—staining."

"After being 'dyed', Gretchen needs to keep painting in order to use up the 'paint' and eliminate the influence of others on her personality, so as not to completely become 'XX No. 2'."

"But I don't even know if this counts as some kind of conservation law... In any case, Gretchen's paintings created in this way contain a kind of 'psychological suggestion' power, and the suggestive effect is similar to the personality of the prototype she 'draws' from, which is very difficult to deal with."

Qin Yu turned his head to look at someone, "So next... Dr. Su."

"Go in and check on Gretchen's condition... Remember, it's best not to say anything or do anything unnecessary. Come out immediately after you've made the diagnosis."

He emphasized, "I know that when you see children, you usually carry small gadgets with you to ease their anxiety, but these are actually harmful to Gretsch now."

"It's for her own good, and also to protect yourself. Do as I say."

Having said all that...

"oh, I understand now."

Su nodded. "Thank you for the reminder."

immediately……

Qin Yuyi followed his heart and summoned [Rita].

He then instructed her to use the intercom to speak to Gretsch in the ward: "Gretsch, Ms. Blanca has brought a very skilled doctor to come and examine you."

She didn't say anything superfluous, and most importantly...

Rita's true form is a terracotta warrior, and she has no 'soul'.

This can be considered as an insurance policy that everyone on our side has provided for Gretchen.

At this moment...

"understood."

The little girl in the nursery, her paintbrush still in hand, answered in a calm but somewhat lazy tone.

Then, the electronic door on the side opened, and Su slowly stepped inside.

Following Qin Yu's instructions, he said nothing and did nothing superfluous, directly activating his mental perception ability.

Slowly, he tentatively entered Gretchen's heart.

then……

"..."

Outside the ward, the expressions on the faces of the group of their own people who could only watch grew increasingly strange.

In reality, they were speechless to see that little Gretchen in the ward, after secretly revealing a sly, mischievous smile, actually...

He actually took a paintbrush and started 'painting' on Su's face, who had her eyes closed.

First, a big nose, then three cat whiskers on each side of the face...

"Speaking of which..."

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, his lips twitched, and without turning his head, asked, "Who was the last person to enter this room before this?"

Upon hearing this, Möbius fiddled with a wristwatch-like electronic device on her left wrist, and shortly after...

"It's Cangxuan, bringing the food."

"Oh~~"

Qin Yu revealed a knowing look, "It seems that Gretchen hasn't used up all the 'soaked paint' during her painting process."

"Let Rita do these things next time..."

"puff?"

Some people couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At that moment, everyone turned their heads, subconsciously focusing their gaze on the direction of the sound source.

"Alicia, what are you laughing at?"

Mebius was somewhat speechless.

"I……"

"You remembered something happy, didn't you?"

Qin Yu immediately picked up the conversation.

He then looked into the ward, where Su's face had been covered in graffiti, resembling a large cat.

The latter had clearly noticed something amiss long ago, but... he heeded Qin Yu's advice and said nothing or did anything unnecessary.

She endured it, letting Greta continue to scribble on her face.

I witnessed the entire process of this bizarre situation firsthand...

"Sigh, being a doctor is indeed a difficult profession."

Seeing that Greta had already started applying 'lipstick' to Sue, Qin Yu sighed.

******

More than ten minutes later...

"..."

"..."

Wearing a Sichuan opera mask, Su left the nursing room and stood in the corridor in front of everyone.

At this moment, Alicia had already hidden at the very back, her shoulders trembling.

The others also looked very strange.

"Thank you for your hard work... in every sense of the word."

Qin Yu asked Rita to hand him a damp towel. "Let's clean ourselves up first before discussing the diagnosis. Otherwise... to be honest, I'm worried that others might also get infected."

"Uh, okay."

After a moment of awkwardness, Su recalled that Qin Yu had previously said that Gretchen's 'paintings' had a certain degree of psychoactive effect.

Now, with this 'face' on him, he can be considered a mobile hypnotic ring.

Su quickly took the wet towel and vigorously wiped her face.

however……

"..."

He almost scraped his skin raw, but the paint on his face was only slightly smudged.

It can't be washed off.

As Su stopped his useless actions, everyone stood there awkwardly.

"Uh~"

Qin Yu opened his mouth, as if to say something.

finally……

"Who bought this paint? How come it dries so quickly?"

He could only manage to utter this one sentence.

Upon hearing this…

"Danzhu".

Mebius answered expressionlessly.

"..."

Qin Yu had no idea how many times he had been speechless today.

Helpless, he could only pull out a mask from inside the golden statue and hand it to Su, saying, "Sorry, this will have to do for now."

"Otherwise, we won't be able to continue the conversation."

"……it is good."

Even Su, after remaining silent for a while and calming her complicated feelings, finally accepted Qin Yu's 'kindness'.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: If ____, then Mei won't have anything to do (just kidding).

It was still the same conference room.

At this moment, a long-haired 'masked man' was explaining the results of his diagnosis to everyone.

"...That's roughly it."

Covering her face, Su looked at everyone in the room and explained earnestly, "According to the preliminary diagnosis, Gretchen's current condition is largely due to the influence of her own special constitution."

"She was still young and unable to properly control the new power she had suddenly acquired based on her identity as a fusion warrior."

“Originally, if someone had been able to guide her properly, Gretchen could have gradually become familiar with and eventually mastered this new power.”
