Chapter 002: Numerical Significance

Of course it is true. Du Guanglin waved his hand again, but he was filled with confusion; why was that person's energy value a negative number?

As Du Guanglin continued to observe, he gradually became astonished by his own findings. It seemed that he was not driven to a state of schizophrenia by the impact, but rather had developed a special ability. How could the values of Qi and spirit in these two metrics be so closely related to each individual's health condition?

What happened? Did you see it again? Just as Du Guanglin was filled with shock, He Lili keenly raised her head, her voice soft yet tinged with worry and a hint of frustration as she inquired.

This was the first time He Lili had been gazed at with such tearful eyes by a big man, and she immediately shivered. However, soon after, her pretty face was filled with embarrassment. Had she known that things would escalate to this extent, she would have preferred to let that thief clean out her house.

Therefore, in this matter, one can only blame himself; he is resentful towards the thief who suddenly appeared because he could not afford to buy a new phone and could not find the one who stole his own phone.

Negative values? Du Guanglin was taken aback. How could these values still fluctuate?

This matter cannot be blamed on He Lili. The fact that she was able to get herself to the hospital last night is already commendable. After all, it was that thief who pushed her, and at that moment, he was also overwhelmed with anger and frustration, thinking about the lost phone. His current living situation is truly dire; if he cannot find a job soon, not only will he be unable to buy a phone, but he will also struggle to afford food and housing next month. Thus, in a moment of confusion, instead of using his hands to brace himself before falling, he turned his body instead. Otherwise, no matter how many times he bumped his head, he wouldn't have hit the back of his head.

Cough... The middle-aged doctor did not allow the two to continue their melancholic gaze at each other. Instead, he quickly cleared his throat and opened the conversation, "Ms. He, it seems that Mr. Du's condition has stabilized for the time being. In fact, our hospital is not particularly skilled in treating schizophrenia. If you wish to help Mr. Du recover as soon as possible, I suggest you visit the Third Hospital in the city. The psychiatry department there is quite well-known, even nationally... In my opinion, Mr. Du's condition is not very severe; it should be an early onset. As long as treatment is timely, it can be easily managed. You should consider this for yourselves."

On the other party's chest, there also floated two rows of text: Spirit, 0, Vitality, -0.6

"I really am fine now, I can't see anything anymore. What that doctor said earlier should be correct; this is just an early symptom and should be easy to control." Du Guanglin waved his hand and then got out of bed. At that moment, He Lili rushed to the bedside to support Du Guanglin, her voice filled with guilt as she softly said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault... If you have another episode in the future, just tell me. No matter what, I will take responsibility for this."

In fact, those blue fonts in the *illustrated* book are indeed quite peculiar; they only become clearly visible when Du Guanglin focuses intently on a person. If he merely glances or looks straight ahead, they will hide away again, as if they were never there.

"It's nothing, I'm really fine now." Could it be that those who live in the same building are wealthy? After all, this is the suburban area, a rental building housing forty to fifty families. The situation is not her fault; the fact that she can still say this has already moved Du Guanglin a little, so he repeatedly reassures her that he is fine.

After a long time, Du Guanglin finally let out a苦笑 and said, "I should be fine now, no need for further treatment, thank you."

After the silence was broken, He Lili was first taken aback, and then she became anxious. She initially wanted to persuade Du Guanglin to seek more treatment, but as soon as she thought of the expenses required for the treatment, she was instantly at a loss for words. It seemed that her days for the rest of this month would likely have to rely on instant noodles. What if she had to transfer to the Third Hospital?

After finishing, the doctor walked out of the ward

Those in wheelchairs, using crutches, or completely bandaged, generally have a mental state close to 0, yet their vitality fluctuates between -0.4 and -0.7. Moreover, the more severe the injury, the lower the value. In the hospital lobby, occasionally one might hear someone sneezing, having a runny nose, or overhear snippets of conversation revealing that someone suffers from diabetes, rhinitis, or similar conditions; their vitality values range from -0.1 to -0.3. Occasionally, someone sneezing, having a runny nose, or overhearing snippets of conversation revealing that someone suffers from diabetes, rhinitis, or similar conditions; their vitality values range from -0.1 to -0.3.

Subsequently, while passing by various patient rooms and during the time spent waiting in the hospital lobby for He Lili to complete the discharge procedures, Du Guanglin once again witnessed a significant number of patients' metrics

Soon, the two individuals exited the hospital room. This is the fourth floor of the City Second Hospital's ward building. The tidy corridor is lined with individual rooms, and the midday sunlight streams in from both sides of the hallway, illuminating the nearby area brightly

After taking a few steps, Du Guanglin naturally glanced into the adjacent ward. To be honest, he had only seen He Lili, the middle-aged doctor, and a nurse so far, and he had only encountered the floating words associated with these three individuals. As for whether there were others, he was genuinely eager to find out.

Under this gaze, Du Guanglin, who was originally walking alongside He Lili, suddenly froze in place. In the open ward, on a bed near the door, lay a man with his right leg in a cast. Not only was his leg in a cast, but other parts of his body were also wrapped up like a mummy.

"Look... I really can't see it anymore." Du Guanglin opened his eyes again to look at the blue text on the other person's chest, noticing that the two lines of blue characters were still eerily swirling around. He had intended to say that he could see it, but as soon as he recalled the recent examination and treatment, he immediately shook his head vigorously again.

Really? A hint of doubt flashed in He Lili's eyes

"Alright." Although Du Guanglin wanted to stop and take a few more glances, he could only nod. Later, when he reached the next ward, he saw a man practicing walking inside the room with the aid of a cane. The man's values were: spirit 0, vitality -0.5.

As he pondered, Du Guanglin could not help but cast a gaze filled with deep resentment towards the tall, oval-faced beauty at the foot of the bed. Wasn't this trouble all caused by your cry of 'catch the thief'? And now look at the situation

Mr. Du, can you still see those words? In the ward, after the middle-aged doctor conducted a nearly comprehensive examination and superficial treatment from the heart to the physiology, he finally raised the question again

Oh. A strange glimmer flickered in He Lili's eyes, uncertain whether it was relief or guilt. "Then let's go."

This ...? ... How is he supposed to face his future life! ? Schizophrenia is indeed a mental illness!

Is it also negative? How strange... Although still surprised, Du Guanglin did not linger again; he merely glanced and continued to move forward

Regardless of the circumstances, he is unwilling to let this matter trouble the woman before him any longer, as it is not her fault, and he naturally does not wish to place the blame on her

At this moment, he also learned of the doctor's diagnosis regarding him, which was a suspicion that the impact he experienced had triggered schizophrenia. Upon realizing this, Du Guanglin was immediately overwhelmed with sorrow and could not help but feel like crying

Ah, hetushu.com? No... Du Guanglin hurriedly turned around and waved his hand, saying, "I was surprised by that person. Looking at his appearance, his injuries are quite severe. Compared to him, my minor ailment just now is nothing at all, not to mention that it has already healed."

What should I do now? Regardless, this delicate young man in front of her fell ill while helping her catch a thief. If she were to ignore him, it would truly weigh on her conscience. But can she really take responsibility? Is she capable of doing so? Even just the costs for examining, treating, and hospitalizing Du Guanglin have already exceeded the value of the property stolen by that thief, and it has long surpassed her monthly salary.

As she pondered, He Lili's gaze towards Du Guanglin gradually filled with a sense of lingering sorrow

This is outrageous; one shouldn't play with people like this. I just graduated from university half a month ago, haven't found a job yet, and the living expenses I received from my parents are nearly depleted. Not only did I lose my phone, but in a moment of impulse, I tried to catch a thief, only to end up with someone who has schizophrenia

Subsequently, the two fell silent once more. He Lili merely lowered her head, supporting Du Guanglin's arm as she watched him put on his shoes. Only when he was fully dressed did she cling to Du Guanglin and walk outside.

The ward once again fell into silence

He would rather die than say he can see it again, otherwise who knows what kind of torment he would have to endure

"There is no need to support me, I can walk on my own," Du Guanglin said, feeling slightly embarrassed. However, after he spoke, He Lili still held onto his arm without letting go.
