[Comprehensive] Daughter of Darkness

To cure a disease, to cure the root cause, it is necessary to investigate the root cause.

For mental patients, their cause of disease is often at a certain point in the past.

An event...a scene...someone...a sentence...

All of these can lead to devastating blows to one's spirit and lead to lesions, especially the blows suffered when they were the weakest and most helpless in childhood. They are often accompanied by a person's life, and it takes a person's life to heal that period of misfortune.

Many congenital mental patients cannot be treated in the early stage. Under the influence of the acquired environment, they will gradually lose the golden time for treatment, and finally become crazy, and even lose the possibility of recovery completely.

Sitting in the office of Gao Shanni, the most famous private doctor in Chengyun City, Mao Taijiu and Annie listened to each other's research experience on mental patients.

"So, am I still saved?" Mao Taijiu put his head on Annie's shoulder and said lazily.

"To know the answer, we need to do a deep hypnosis." Gao Shanni said, "Mr. Mao, I need you to trust me absolutely and completely let go of your guard against me. Otherwise, the accuracy of the hypnosis result will be affected."

"Yes." Mao Taijiu said calmly, but his hand was holding Annie's hand tightly, refusing to let go.

"In the process of hypnosis, it is best to have only the doctor and the patient get along alone, so the effect is the best." Gao Shanni said.

Annie whispered in Mao Taijiu's ear: "Trust her, she is an excellent doctor, I believe she can help you."

Mao Taijiu hesitated for a while, and finally let go of Anne's hand.

"Don't go too far...and don't let me not find you...or I will go crazy." He looked at Anne with sincere eyes and said.

"Okay, I promise you." Annie patted the back of his hand lightly with the palm of her hand, signaling him to rest assured.

After Annie left, Gao Shanni suddenly found that when she and Mao Taijiu were alone together, the temperament of the other party had undergone an earth-shaking change.

It's like a weak man who is dependent on others suddenly turns into a vicious man full of destructive desires.

This kind of transformation is from the inside out. The kind of things that emanate from him make people feel like they are being stared at by wild animals.

Gao Shanni has met many dangerous patients, and she can get along with them calmly, but this time she found that her heart beat a little faster.

She knew she was scared, the adrenaline was racing, and sweat began to form on her forehead unconsciously.

"Can you try to trust me? Mr. Mao Taijiu." Gao Shanni wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and then put it aside.

Mao Taijiu glanced at the handkerchief, then said with a smile, "Miss Gao Shanni, you seem... very nervous."

"It's not you that makes me nervous, but the thing hidden in your heart." Gao Shanni said with a forced smile, and she felt her heart beating faster and faster.

"Okay." Mao Taijiu lay on the bed, and then closed his eyes, "I will try to believe you, but... when you dig out the hidden things... what will happen... I can't Guaranteed...so Miss Gao Shanni...please be careful."

"Mr. Mao Taijiu, please believe in my professional level as a doctor." Gao Shanni said.

Mao Tai, who was lying on the bed, was silent for a long time, and Gao Shanni started playing a soothing song on the vinyl record player.

"Taijiu, can I call you that?" Gao Shanni began to try to get closer to Mao Taijiu.

"Who are you...?" Mao Taijiu asked.

"I am your guide Gao Shanni, and I will guide you to the destination of this trip." Gao Shanni said.

"Miss Gao Shanni... Where am I now?" Mao Taijiu said.

"What's around you?" Gao Shanni asked.

"There is... a big vase." Mao Taijiu said.

"Did you hear anything?" Gao Shanni said.

"The hammer is hitting something." Mao Taijiu said.

"Were you attracted by this voice?" Gao Shanni asked.

"Yes." Mao Taijiu said, "I'm very scared."

"Don't be afraid." Gao Shanni said, "Tell me what you saw?"

"I saw... Mom." Mao Taijiu said, his expression began to change, from calm to nervous.

"What is mom doing?" Gao Shanni guided.

"She told me to keep quiet and to leave quickly," Mao Taijiu said.

"What's the expression on Mom's face?" Gao Shanni said.

"She was very scared, her face was full of tears." Mao Taijiu said grimly.

"What is she afraid of? Or who is she afraid of?" Gao Shanni asked tentatively.

"Father." Mao Taijiu began to gasp for breath, and his face began to sweat continuously.

"What is Dad doing?" Gao Shanni said.

"Father is..." Mao Taijiu was only halfway through, and then there was a burst of creepy laughter in the treatment room.

"One... two... three times." Mao Taijiu began to talk to himself, "It must be very painful, he bled a lot."

"Who is bleeding?" Gao Shanni's face turned pale, and she began to realize that the danger of this patient might be beyond her imagination.

"I don't know him." Mao Taijiu said.

"Who made him bleed?" Gao Shanni asked from another angle.

"Father." Mao Taijiu said.

"How did he do it?" Gao Shanni said.

"He had a hammer in his hand, and he took the hammer and hit the man on the head." Mao Taijiu said.

"Get out of there, get out of there quickly, Taijiu." Gao Shanni said hastily.

"Where should I run?" Mao Taijiu said helplessly.

"Go where you want to go most." Gao Shanni said.

"I'm here...I'm safe." Mao Taijiu finally relaxed.

"Where are you?" Gao Shanni said.

"I'm in mother's room." Mao Taijiu said.

"What's in the room?" Gao Shanni asked.

"There is a lady doll." Mao Taijiu said.

"Does that puppet lady have a name?" Gao Shanni asked.

"Annie." Mao Taijiu said happily.

The door of the treatment room finally opened, and Mao Taijiu and Gao Shanni came out together.

"Miss Annie, the hypnotherapy is over, I think I should talk to you alone." Gao Shanni said to Annie.

"Okay, Miss Gao Shanni." Annie said.

Just when she was about to go in, a hand grabbed her arm, and she turned to look at Mao Taijiu.

"Don't make me wait too long, or I can't help but want to...kill that woman." Mao Taijiu said gloomily.

"Taijiu, I'll be out soon, so just wait for me obediently here." Annie said.

Mao Taijiu let go of which hand, then sat on the chair and closed his eyes to doze off.

"Miss Annie." Gao Shanni said to Annie with a smile, "I would like to ask, what is your relationship with Mr. Mao Taijiu?"

"We can be regarded as childhood sweethearts." Annie thought for a while, she grew up with Mao Taijiu, so she should be able to say that.

"So...do you like him?" Gao Shanni said with a complicated expression.

"Why do you ask that?" Annie looked at her puzzled and said.

"Because...Mr. Mao Taijiu's illness...in addition to medical treatment, I'm afraid I need your company." Gao Shanni said.

"Does that mean I can't leave him half a step?" Annie asked, "Will he get sick as soon as I leave him?"

"Yes, just now, he tried...to hurt me." Gao Shanni showed Annie the bruise on her neck, which was pinched out by Mao Taijiu.

"That means he needs my company all his life, doesn't it?" Annie said.

"Yes, that's why I asked this question. If you can accompany him through this life as his lover and wife, he won't hurt anyone again." Gao Shanni said.

"But I..." Annie said with some embarrassment.

"I know this request is indeed too much for you." Gao Shanni said, "For such a person who needs constant attention and company, you have to pay too much."

Annie shook her head. She couldn't tell Dr. Gao Shanni the real reason for her embarrassment, otherwise the other party would treat her as a mental patient.

She is just a puppet, and can be a friend by Mao Taijiu's side, but she cannot be a lover and wife.

These two identities, she can't play perfectly at all, because she doesn't have a human body.

In 600 years of darkness, she has seen countless couples separated because of physical problems.

She knew that Mao Taijiu was a normal man, and he would have needs... but she couldn't satisfy them.

Thinking of this, she looked sad.

After bidding farewell to Gao Shanni, the two held hands and prepared to go home together.

"What did she tell you?" Mao Taijiu asked softly.

"She asked me to stay by your side for the rest of my life and never leave you," Annie said.

"Based on this sentence, I regard her as my friend." Mao Taijiu said with a smile.

"Taijiu." Annie suddenly looked at Mao Taijiu seriously, and said.

"Annie." He leaned in Annie's arms and said.

"Do you know what it means to be with you for a lifetime?" Annie asked.

"Are you suggesting that I propose to you?" Mao Taijiu said with a smile.

"I... just a doll, I can't... meet some of your requirements." Annie said disappointedly.

"No, I don't need it." Mao Taijiu hugged Annie with both hands, like a drowning man grabbing the last chance to save his life.

"Having you, I would rather give up those things. Losing you, I will... fall into hell." Mao Taijiu said.

"You will regret it." Annie stroked Mao Taijiu's hair and said.

"Are you willing to spend your whole life with me to heal the wounds in my heart? Annie." Mao Taijiu opened his eyes, stroked Annie's face with his hands, and looked up at her.

"If you can bear my flaws, I can do it." Annie said with a smile.

"Annie, you are the only cure for my illness in this life." Mao Taijiu hugged Annie tightly again.
