If you don't want treatment, get out! This doctor has a terrible temper.

Chapter 138 You call this "psychological counseling"?

Dr. Gao's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at the silver needle, which was thicker than a chopstick, in Wang Minyu's hand.

"What...what do you want to do? I am the chief researcher at Peak Biotech. If you mess with me, our company will not let you off the hook!" he threatened, his words threatening but his voice betraying his fear.

"Is that so?" Wang Minyu walked up to him, squatted down, and gently patted his face with silver needles. "I'm the kind of person who's least afraid of threats. Besides, you seem to have misunderstood something."

"What is it?"

"I'm not interrogating you right now, I'm... treating your illness." Wang Minyu revealed a smile that sent chills down Dr. Gao's spine.

He activated the [Aura Observation Technique].

Above Dr. Gao's head, the system panel was clearly displayed.

Patient: Gao Yuan (Dr. Gao)

Symptoms: Antisocial personality disorder, emotional deficit disorder, severe obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.

[Etiology: Severe childhood abuse led to a complete loss of empathy, causing all living beings (including humans) to be viewed as manipulable experimental subjects.]

[Current emotions: fear, anger, disbelief.]

"Your biggest problem isn't your body, it's your mind." Wang Minyu pointed the tip of a silver needle at Dr. Gao's temple. "Your brain lacks something called 'empathy.' That's why you can't feel other people's pain. It's okay, today I'll help you learn that lesson."

Before he finished speaking, the silver needle in his hand suddenly pierced into the "Quchi" acupoint on Dr. Gao's arm.

"ah--!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the ward.

It was an indescribable soreness, numbness, swelling, and pain, as if ten thousand ants were crawling along his meridians and into his bone marrow.

"Does it hurt?" Wang Minyu asked expressionlessly.

"It hurts...it hurts so much! Quick...pull it out!" Dr. Gao broke out in a cold sweat instantly, his usually calm face contorted in pain.

"Very good, this means your nervous system is still normal." Instead of pulling out the needle, Wang Minyu gently flicked the end of the needle with his finger.

"Buzz—"

The vibration at the end of the needle amplified the pain several times over.

Dr. Gao felt like he was going crazy.

He had spent his whole life inflicting pain on others, never imagining that one day he would personally experience that feeling.

"Wang Minyu! You're using vigilante justice! This is illegal!" Dean Liu Guodong, who was standing nearby, mustered up his courage and shouted.

"Dean Liu, you're wrong again." Wang Minyu turned to look at him. "I'm giving him 'psychological counseling.' He can't feel other people's pain, so I'm letting him feel it for himself. This is called 'immersive empathy therapy,' our research group's latest findings. Remember to include it in your report later."

Liu Guodong: "..."

He felt that the worst decision he had ever made was letting these "plague gods" into his hospital.

Wang Minyu ignored them and pulled out the silver needles, then did the same to Dr. Gao's other arm.

Screams rose and fell.

Li Siyuan and Zhao Na watched with bated breath, but also felt... inexplicably relieved.

Su Qing took out a small notebook and calmly recorded: "Under high-intensity pain stimulation, the experimental subject's sympathetic nervous system was excited, pupils dilated, and heart rate soared to 150. Preliminary judgment indicates that their pain threshold is lower than that of ordinary people. Conclusion: Long-term lack of emotional feedback may lead to a decrease in the body's tolerance to physical harm."

This isn't a medical team; it's a bunch of devils in white coats.

Wang Minyu tormented Dr. Gao for a full ten minutes, until he was drenched in sweat and his voice was hoarse, before he finally stopped.

"Now, can we have a proper chat, Dr. Gao?" Wang Minyu toyed with the silver needles in his hand.

"What...what do you want to know?" Dr. Gao's voice was as weak as a mosquito's buzz.

His pride as a scientist had been crushed by the most primal pain.

"What exactly is a 'seed'?"

"It's...it's part of the 'Godhood' project..." Dr. Gao said breathlessly, his words tumbling out in fits and starts. "Organization S believes that human evolution has reached its end. They...they want to create a...new kind of human through gene editing and biochips. A kind of 'God' without emotions, with absolute rationality, capable of executing commands like a machine."

"And those mentally ill patients are your 'experimental fields'?"

"Yes... their mental barriers are more fragile, making them easier to be assimilated by the 'seed'..."

Where is your headquarters?

"I...I don't know." Dr. Gao shook his head. "All instructions are issued through a one-way communication. I only know that the next phase of the experiment will be...will be conducted underground in Changxiang City."

"underground?"

"Underground in Changxiang City, there is an abandoned air-raid shelter system. Organization S has transformed it into a huge laboratory."

Wang Minyu's heart sank.

A huge laboratory hidden underground.

This "S" organization was larger and more insane than he had imagined.

"One last question." Wang Minyu stood up, looking down at him, "How many test subjects like Li Mo have you 'screened' in total?"

Dr. Gao's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

Wang Minyu picked up the thickest silver needle.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" Dr. Gao was terrified. "In Changxiang, there are... there are three. Li Mo is S-level. The other two, one is A-level and the other is B-level, they... they've already been sent away."

"Where was it sent?"

"An underground laboratory..."

Wang Minyu fell silent.

He knew he had to act quickly.

He turned to Su Qing and said, "Call the police. Tell them there has been a serious assault here, and the suspect has been subdued."

Then he said to Liu Guodong, "Dean Liu, you'd better forget everything that happened here today. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you won't be the one needing 'psychological counseling' next."

Liu Guodong nodded frantically, like a chick pecking at rice.

After dealing with all of this, Wang Minyu walked to Li Mo's bedside.

Li Mo had quieted down and seemed to be asleep. There were still tear stains on his face.

Wang Minyu reached out and gently stroked his forehead.

"Go to sleep," he whispered. "It's time to wake up from this nightmare."
