The villa was spacious and quiet, and it didn't look like it was inhabited for a long time.
However, whether it was the marble floor, the relief on the wall, or even the piano in front of the French window, they were all wiped spotless. Accustomed to the darkness and crampedness of the old building, Lu Xin felt a little restrained sitting in such a villa.
After sitting down on the sofa in the living room, the man who looked like a butler served tea to Lu Xin and the fat manager Liu, and a plate of fruits and snacks, and then quietly retreated. Taking advantage of this time, Lu Xin signed the contract that the fat man surnamed Liu had given him yesterday, and had carefully read it, and even asked Han Bing to help him confirm that there was no problem, and each kept a copy.
"Must you cure it completely before you will pay me this 100,000 yuan?"
When handing over the contract, Lu Xin also confirmed it.
"Yes."
Manager Liu, the fat man, smiled and said, "It's like treating a patient. It's not over until the patient recovers, right?"
Lu Xin nodded and said, "Sometimes, even if the patient is cured, the mental state needs to be recuperated."
Manager Liu, the fat man, was startled and smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will take these into consideration!"
Lu Xin was relieved and said, "Where is the person you want me to see?"
Just as he asked this question, he suddenly heard the sound of wheels rolling on the smooth ground behind a door next to the living room. When the door was opened, three or four staff members in white coats came in, pushing a vertical iron box about two meters high. The box was sealed tightly, and crazy collisions and knocks came from it from time to time.
There was also a faint roar like a wounded beast, painful and angry.
"She's here!"
Behind the box, an old man with a cane came out. He was wearing a neat suit and his hair was neat.
But his eyes looked a little tired, and one leg seemed a little weak when he walked.
"I will not participate in the specific treatment process, you two can chat."
The fat man stood up, smiled at the old man, gestured to Lu Xin, and then went out with his bag.
At the same time, the staff who pushed the iron box in also walked out together.
In the empty living room, Lu Xin, the old man with a cane, and the iron box that made the banging sound were soon left.
"Please sit down!"
The old man with a cane was placed on the sofa. After asking Lu Xin to sit down, he sighed softly, glanced at the iron box, and said, "My daughter is inside. Her name is Xiaoxiao. She is only 21 years old this year. She just graduated from Qinggang New University in the main city last year. She studied the research and preservation of old-time art. Even her tutor often praised her for her talent in this area..."
"Just three months ago, she was even engaged and had a good relationship with the other party..."
"Alas, no one expected that at this time, she suddenly... went crazy..."
"No matter what doctor, they can't find the specific reason, so I can only suspect that she was contaminated..."
"..."
Lu Xin thought for a while and said, "Then why did you look for me? I am not... very professional in this area."
"I have already looked for many people!"
The old man sighed and said, "I used my connections and invited some experts to come and see her privately. Although everyone suspected that she was contaminated, no abnormal spiritual power was detected. Moreover, we usually live in the main city, and we are also strict in the investigation and treatment of spiritual pollution. Logically, she should not be exposed to the source of pollution..."
"Then..."
Lu Xin frowned slightly and said, "Could she be really crazy?"
"No!"
The old man's face suddenly became a little serious, and he said, "I believe it is absolutely not. There is no history of genetic diseases in our family. If she is crazy, it can only be due to strong stimulation. However, I have investigated her experience before the accident and did not find any major changes. From any angle, she is inexplicable and slowly became like this!"
Lu Xin was not easy to say anything else about his obviously fearful attitude.
"Mr. Shan Bing, please understand."
At this time, Mr. Xu sighed and said, "I am already 70 years old this year. My family members died in the disaster 30 years ago. She is the daughter I got when I was 50 years old. I think this is God's gift to me, so I will cure her at all costs, otherwise... I don't know what the meaning of life is."
"Only one hundred thousand for a daughter like this..."
Lu Xin complained in his heart: "It's only one-fiftieth of this villa..."
But he was just thinking about it, after all, the contract had been signed.
Judging from the look of Mr. Xu, he really cares about this girl.
But he was also a little curious, and asked: "You care so much about her, but she is already so seriously ill, why don't you hand her over to the Special Pollution Research Institute?"
"This..."
Mr. Xu hesitated a little, paused for a moment, and then answered: "Mr. Shan Bing may not know that many people in the main city have already known about the existence of special pollution, and they are very concerned about it. If Xiaoxiao's pollution is spread, even if she has been cured, she may be ostracized by many people. In that case, it may..."
"... may have a serious impact on her reputation!"
"That would be a more serious result for her than death."
"And this is why I will only find someone to see her privately instead of handing her over to the research institute. Although I didn't go directly through the official, I still tried my best and found many professional people to diagnose. Now I hope that you professionals will cure Xiaoxiao privately, and... after curing her, continue to keep this matter confidential!"
"..."
After asking these questions, Lu Xin nodded slowly.
Then he finally looked at the iron box seriously, and said after a moment of hesitation: "Let me see it first!"
Mr. Xu sighed, nodded, and then stood up with his crutches, slowly came to the iron box, took out the key from his pocket, unlocked the box, and then subconsciously stepped back a few steps when he opened the side cover of the box.
"Squeak"
The box cover popped out by inertia.
It can be seen that the inside of the box is sewn with special linings, as if to prevent the people inside from hurting themselves.
But when he looked into the box, Lu Xin couldn't help but be slightly startled.
I saw that the person locked in the box was a young girl. She was only wearing a nightgown, her hair was messy, and there were several scars on her body. Some were bandaged, and some were left alone. Although she looked very embarrassed at this time, with bloodshot eyes, it can still be seen that she looked very beautiful, like a big star on TV.
Around her neck, hands and feet, there were tight ties, fixing her in the box.
She even had a plastic stick in her mouth.
But in this situation, she was still struggling hard, roaring like a beast.
The violent banging sound in the box just now was caused by her hitting the box with her only movable head.
…
…
Lu Xin couldn't help but frowned slightly and said, "What are the symptoms of her madness?"
Mr. Xu's tone seemed a little sour. He rubbed his face hard and whispered, "Mating!"
Lu Xin was obviously stunned for a moment.
And Mr. Xu seemed a little tired: "Like an animal, mating crazily, with anyone, or..."
He was obviously unable to continue.
