Multiple Personalities

"No problem, let me know when you're available."

Yang Haotian rubbed the corkscrew.

"I can join the promotion, just not sure about the timing."

"As long as you can promote, the rest is up to you."

"Hey, Xia Kang replied to me, he has time tomorrow afternoon. Shall I arrange it for you?"

"Sure."

"Alright, you should head back first."

"You stay so late at the bar, can your body handle it?"

Shen Jingqi got up and put on his coat.

"Don't worry about me, I know best how to manage my time. I just want to see you more often, remember to see me when you can."

Yang Haotian watched Shen Jingqi.

"No problem."

In the night, Shen Jingqi walked out of the bar.

Behind him, between Yang Haotian's eyes, a spinning eye appeared.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Haotian returned to normal.

Shen Jingqi got into the car.

Uncle Li seemed tireless, his expression and mental state always the same during day and night.

Shen Jingqi wasn't really drunk.

After that cup of "New Appearance," he had only drunk a bit from the bottom.

He doesn't know why Yang Haotian invited him, except other than being a psychology consultant at his institute, there were no obvious motives.

But Yang Haotian told him a lot of abstract things.

Does Yang Haotian have a secret?

Shen Jingqi doesn't have many close friends; Yang Haotian is someone he trusts more.

He met Yang Haotian when he was 18.

In any case, Shen Jingqi felt Yang Haotian said something, yet nothing at all.

He's indeed efficient, his purpose was further exploring Li Baiyu's illusions of Cong Nanxue, at least there's a further direction now.

Shen Jingqi had a good night's sleep.

The next afternoon, Shen Jingqi arrived at the agreed location and met a middle-aged man.

Above his head flashed a piece of information:

"Deputy Secretary of Biological College, Calcified for 3 years."

Shen Jingqi seemed to feel Xia Kang's pain.

"Hello, Teacher Xia."

"Hello, Dr. Shen, come, have a seat."

Xia Kang's hip seemed a bit immobile, closing together with difficulty, spread out in a strange posture.

"Teacher Xia, I'd like to ask you about someone, a 2013 Biological College undergraduate, Cong Nanxue. Due to personal reasons, she couldn't attend offline exams. During her sophomore year, she took online exams, monitored by you and another teacher, Wang Junyi. Can you recall the situation back then?"

"2013 cohort, Cong Nanxue, let me think."

Xia Kang recalled.

"You mean online monitoring, there was indeed such a person. Her homeroom teacher applied for the online exam room, and I along with Teacher Wang monitored it. Otherwise, given the number of students, I couldn't have remembered."

Shen Jingqi was somewhat pleased.

"The exam room was actually inside a classroom, a computer placed on the table with quite a high configuration for that time. After the girl entered the online room, she politely cooperated in verifying her student ID, surroundings, etc., to ensure no cheating conditions. Then, she answered seriously throughout without looking around. I observed she didn't seem to need to think, she wrote answers directly. Of course, considering Shen University, any kind of genius could appear. Also, she didn't go to the bathroom. You know, the entire exam was a whole day long. She didn't go to the bathroom in the morning or afternoon, took a break at noon."

Xia Kang's eyes bulged a little, showing obvious surprise.

"Do you have any impression of Cong Nanxue's appearance?"

"She was quite skinny, very pale skin, not ugly."

"Is she fengyan-eyed, with a mole between her eyebrows?"

"That I don't recall, her eyebrows don't seem to have any distinctive features."

Xia Kang struggled to remember.

"Was there any video saved during the examination? It's been years, not sure if any materials can still be found."

"There might be surveillance footage in the classroom, but I'm not clear on that. You'd need to ask the teacher in charge of the equipment. Generally, we don't have the authority to view this footage unless necessary."

Shen Jingqi nodded.

According to Xia Kang's description, some things could already be confirmed or ruled out.

However, Xia Kang's description of Cong Nanxue's features once again plunged Shen Jingqi into confusion.

It's remarkable how the descriptions from two people differ.

"Thank you, Teacher Kang."

"By the way, we have a male student in the biology building facing a dilemma. Recently, he's been monitored by the academy, but his mental and emotional state is often unstable. The academy and psychological center are concerned about his situation. Teacher Yang mentioned Dr. Shen is a psychiatrist at Shen University Third Hospital, would it be convenient for you to conduct a check-up on this student? It would give us some understanding."

Xia Kang expressed his own request.

It seems Xia Kang also has something to ask of him, which is why he agreed to provide information about Cong Nanxue.

This mentally disturbed male student, who also had incidents in the biology building, involves that long-retired professor, and Shen Jingqi suspects he might be Li Baiyu's father. Shen Jingqi is just interested and wants further exploration, unexpectedly Xia Kang found him instead. Truly, what you're searching for can be obtained without effort.

"Of course."

Shen Jingqi agreed readily.

"Great, thank you very much. If Dr. Shen has time now, shall we go meet that student?"

"Okay."

Xia Kang was quickly making a call.

"Yu Yue, is your classmate Wang Zhichen still in the dormitory under management? Yes, I've invited a psychiatrist for a check-up on Wang Zhichen. Okay, if he doesn't want to move, let him stay in the dormitory. You keep an eye on him, we'll be there shortly."

"Dr. Shen, this student is in the dormitory, let's go have a look at him."

Shen Jingqi and Xia Kang headed towards the dormitory building.

The dormitory buildings of Shen University's main campus are all near the south gate.

Shen Jingqi had stayed in the boys' dormitory for four years during his undergraduate time, sharing a room with Yang Haotian.

Looking at the familiar environment, Shen Jingqi also felt nostalgic.

"Dr. Shen used to stay here too, we're all Shen University's children."

Xia Kang's eyes carried warmth.

Considering the "calcification" above Xia Kang's head, Shen Jingqi slowed his pace, matching Xia Kang's rhythm.

"Yes, I remember, that side is the boys' dormitory, that side is the girls' dormitory."

Shen Jingqi pointed at different buildings in turn.

"You have a great memory."

Shen Jingqi followed Xia Kang into a boys' dormitory building.

"This student has been temporarily isolated, his three roommates relocated to other dormitories. Currently, their class leader regularly checks in, while the dormitory manager conducts real-time monitoring."

Outside a room, Shen Jingqi heard a frightened shout:

"I won't go out, if I do, I'll meet that strange person. I'm scared! So terrifying!"
