Jiang Ran said, “My situation is very special.”

“In the past, when the secondary personalities took over my body, my main personality—that is, myself—would not fall asleep and would clearly know what the secondary personalities did while occupying my body.”

“But now, it’s different. When they take over, I fall into a deep sleep.”

Bai Xiaoliang frowned. Just as expected, this was completely different from ordinary dissociative identity disorder patients.

After all, in typical cases, the main personality never knows what the secondary personalities do when they take control.

“Anything else?”

Bai Xiaoliang asked.

Jiang Ran nodded. “Actually, I don’t mind them coming out, but the problem is that several of the personalities inside me have huge issues. If they come out for too long, I’m afraid one day I’ll end up in jail…”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoliang’s expression grew extremely serious.

The other doctors, however, smiled somewhat mockingly, seeming to think Jiang Ran was exaggerating or just bragging—there was no way it was that serious.

Bai Xiaoliang said, “So, your other personalities are all very dangerous?”

Jiang Ran nodded. “A few are fine. If you don’t provoke them, they won’t mess with you. But some… are like those twisted serial killers, you know what I mean?”

Pfft!

Hearing this, a young doctor in the consultation room couldn’t help but laugh outright.

Bai Xiaoliang turned to ask him what was so funny.

The young doctor said, “This is ridiculous. It feels like reading a horror novel or watching a suspense movie or TV show. If your other personalities were really that twisted, you’d probably be in jail right now.”

Jiang Ran heard this and found himself unable to refute it.

Bai Xiaoliang instead glared angrily at the young doctor and told him to get out.

As a psychiatrist, how dare he question and mock his patient like that? Didn’t he know it was a huge taboo?

Don’t be fooled by Bai Xiaoliang’s handsome, warm appearance. When he scolds someone, he’s merciless.

The young doctor was immediately kicked out. The remaining doctors inside didn’t dare to make a sound, let alone laugh.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoliang regained his composure and asked Jiang Ran, “Jiang Ran, after treatment, what outcome do you hope to achieve?”

“Do you want all the other personalities to disappear and only your main personality to remain?”

“Or do you want to be able to stay awake even when the other personalities take over?”

Jiang Ran said, “Ideally, the treatment would cure everything and leave only me.”

“But I know that’s almost impossible and very difficult, so it all depends on you, doctor.”

Bai Xiaoliang exhaled deeply for a long time. “Alright, I understand. But because your case is so special, we can’t give a definite treatment plan right now. I’ll notify you next time. As compensation, there will be no registration fee next time.”

Jiang Ran nodded. “I’ll wait for your good news.”

Then he left Consultation Room 1.

After Jiang Ran left Consultation Room 1, Bai Xiaoliang turned to the seven or eight doctors beside him.

The young doctor who was kicked out earlier now stood outside the door, secretly listening to the conversation inside.

Bai Xiaoliang noticed but said nothing.

He asked the other doctors, “What do you think about Jiang Ran’s dissociative identity disorder?”

The young doctor who had first suggested Jiang Ran didn’t need to come in for treatment, only to keep taking medication normally, shared his opinion:

“Jiang Ran’s dissociative identity disorder is indeed very special. Except for the possibility that the secondary personalities might pop out, there are no other negative symptoms. Normally, his condition is very good. But if what he says about his other personalities is true, and they are very dangerous, then we must deal with those other personalities. At the very least, we cannot allow them to randomly appear.”

The others expressed similar views.

After all, Jiang Ran really didn’t seem like other dissociative identity disorder patients.

Other patients with this disorder often suffer from many psychological and physiological problems.

For example: abnormal behavior, silent personality, sensitivity, hallucinations, insomnia, anxiety, suicidal tendencies, rage, tendency to harm others, memory loss, memory confusion, identity confusion, and so on.

According to Jiang Ran, he had none of these...

Bai Xiaoliang said immediately, “Yes, Jiang Ran’s condition does seem much better than ordinary dissociative identity disorder patients.”

“But have you considered one thing?”

The other doctors looked puzzled. “What thing?”

Bai Xiaoliang’s face became grave. “Is the Jiang Ran I saw last time really the main personality?”

“And are the experiences and situations he described actually true?”

The other doctors were shocked, probably never having thought about this.

Bai Xiaoliang continued, “My American mentor, you all attended the meeting to confirm Jiang Ran’s condition. You know my mentor once had a patient very similar to Jiang Ran.”

“You also learned that many patients’ secondary personalities are born to protect the main personality, taking on what the main personality cannot bear.”

“But some are not.”

“My mentor’s patient’s secondary personalities were all insane and twisted. Forget protecting the main personality—they wanted to eliminate the main personality and take over.”

“There’s something I forgot to tell you.”

“After confirming Jiang Ran’s diagnosis, my mentor privately warned me to be cautious.”

“When he treated that patient years ago, he found that the personality he was in contact with was actually a secondary personality pretending to be the main one. Its purpose was to use my mentor’s treatment to kill the real main personality and replace it.”

“So he told me to repeatedly confirm if the personality I’m interacting with is really the main personality.”

“Never cause an accident where a secondary personality becomes the main personality.”

“That would be like opening Pandora’s box.”

After hearing this, the other doctors all gasped sharply, their expressions extremely serious and even a bit fearful.

…

This time, Jiang Ran’s visit was shorter than the last time.

So he returned to the apartment earlier.

He got back at 11 in the morning.

After returning to the apartment, he saw Mike, the American, on the first floor talking with Manager Xiao Zhang.

At that moment, inside the management office.

Mike asked Manager Xiao Zhang, “Is there a man in our apartment who has super pale skin, even paler than a woman’s?”

Xiao Zhang said yes.

Mike asked where he lived.

Manager Xiao Zhang directly told Mike.

Mike turned and headed straight to the place Xiao Zhang had given him.

When Mike got on the elevator, Jiang Ran had already taken the elevator up.

So Mike waited a moment before boarding the elevator himself.

He arrived on the second floor.

At the second floor, he rang the doorbell of Room 201.

After ringing several times, the door finally opened.

The one who opened the door was the fair-skinned young man Mike had seen before on the rooftop.

“I came right in, Bai Ze,” Mike said.

Bai Ze nodded.

Then Mike walked inside, speaking as he went:

“You told me Room 1001 holds the answers I want and the secrets of this apartment.”

“I went in and rescued three people.”

“Those three also told me the secrets of this apartment.”

“Therefore, I came today to ask you another question.”
