Chapter 11 Desire for Conversation – Jack

Jack held the medical record in his hand, which looked like a death notice, making his steps extremely heavy and slow.

When he returned to the house, he found that the strange figure he saw downstairs not long ago actually appeared in his house.

There were two chairs in the room, and Wen Xishu sat on one of them.

He went straight to Jack’s house.

“Hello, are you…do you need any help?”

There is no language difference among the three towers, so there is no obstacle for communication between tower climbers and the people in the three towers.

Wen Xishu found it a little funny.

When faced with a break-in, Jack’s first reaction is to see if the person needs help, without even asking who the person is.

Good people are indeed simple and honest until they are pushed across that line and the evil in their hearts explodes.

Wen Xishu said:
“I do need a little help, Jack. But I believe we help each other.”

Jack was a little surprised that the other party knew his name:

“How can I…how can I help you?”

Wen Xishu seemed very friendly. His sitting posture was casual and relaxed. On the contrary, Jack seemed a little reserved.

“Relax Jack, I’m a friend to you and Jennifer. You just need to answer some questions for me.”

“It’s that simple?”

“It’s that simple.”

The two are like a psychiatrist and a patient, and Jack is the patient who is obviously ill.

“Of course, in return, I thought I could bring you and Jennifer closer.”

Jack’s eyes suddenly lit up, but when he thought that he was about to die, this happiness seemed to not last long, and the light quickly dimmed again.

Wen Xishu saw it all, he knew this change too well.

When he was doing certain sports with a very high mortality rate, he would meet some people with dull eyes.

Some people play extreme sports for the sake of excitement, while others do it to die with dignity.

When bungee jumping, you will always meet a type of people who, no matter whether it is 70 meters or 300 meters, will just jump as if they have no attachment to the world.

“You look a little depressed. It seems that the disease has dealt you a heavy blow. But Jack, your disease may not be what you think.”

“From now on, please treat me as a doctor and be honest with me. Just think of it this way, and do it all for Jennifer.”

After Wen Xishu mentioned Jennifer, Jack no longer had any doubts or guard. He had always lacked that kind of thing.

“Okay, whatever you want to ask, I really won’t live long. I think… no matter how good the doctor is, he can’t change my situation.”

“Besides, I don’t have any money. But no matter what you want to ask, if I know, I will tell you.”

Jack was very honest, and Wen Xishu had to admit that his luck was not too bad. The core personnel of the first mission were good guys like Jack, which reduced the difficulty a lot.

“Do you like Yulia?”

Wen Xishu’s first question was extremely direct.

“I don’t like Yulia.”

really.

Jack’s answer did not surprise Wen Xishu.

Yulia’s importance does not actually come from herself, but from the fact that she is Jennifer’s mother.

He nodded:

“So, Remian thought you liked Yulia, but in reality, you just wanted to get close to Jennifer.”

Jack now believes that Wen Xishu knows Jennifer. He is very honest:
“She is a good kid who can make people feel happy and that the world is not that bad.”

Wen Xishu agreed. Although he didn’t know Jennifer, in the Ghost Tower, he unexpectedly felt that Jennifer was a good kid.

“And Jennifer also likes being with you.” Wen Xishu said again.

Jack shook his head uncertainly:

“I, I don’t know. I just like being with her. It’s a little selfish, because it just makes me happy.”

“But I…don’t know if Jennifer is happy.”

Wen Xishu smiled and said:

“From what I know, Yulia is pretty. If she were living in a female-oriented novel, she might really wait for a domineering CEO with reduced intelligence to fall in love with her, a divorced woman with a child.”

“But she definitely has no shortage of men willing to pay attention to her. Among these men, including Remian, they should be pretty good to little Jennifer, right?”

Jack nodded slightly:

“Yes, everyone loves little Jennifer. Who could have any bad intentions towards her?”

Wen Xishu said:
“Although you are not sure whether little Jennifer also likes to be with you, do you think… little Jennifer is happier when she is with you than when she is with others?”

The smile on Wen Xishu’s face made people feel very comfortable, and his tone was very gentle, like an old friend.

Jack nodded again:

“Little Jennifer, it seems that you really like being with me more.” “Okay, thank you very much. I also hope that you can have more contact. Now I will answer your question. Jennifer is really happy when she is with you.”

This made Jack smile visibly.

Wen Xishu continued to ask:
“By the way, do you like other children?” Wen Xishu asked again.

Jack shook his head:

“Actually… apart from work, I don’t really like interacting with other kids.”

Wen Xishu became more and more certain of his guess.

There is a special attraction between Jack and little Jennifer.

“Next question, are you surprised by the medical record of advanced gastric cancer?”

Jack was a little confused and looked at Wen Xishu without saying anything for a while.

Wen Xishu said:
“Don’t mind how I know everything. Jack, we are friends, aren’t we?”

“What I want to ask is whether you are surprised that you have stomach cancer. Do you feel that some of your symptoms are not consistent with the manifestations of stomach cancer?”

This is a very straightforward question.

Jack thought carefully for a while and said:
“I don’t know either. My body started to change a few months ago.”

“I’ve become a big eater. But I’ve also been vomiting a lot… As you can see, I’m very thin now.”

Wen Xishu became interested:

“Any photos of the vomit?”

Jack shook his head in surprise:
“Sorry, I didn’t take any pictures of that.”

“That kind of thing? Isn’t the thing you vomited food?”

“No… maybe it’s hard for you to believe. Well, never mind, I’d better not tell you.”

“Please make it clear.”

“That’s right, I often spit out some black liquid, but there seems to be something in the liquid.”

Wen Xishu’s pupils slightly shrank and expanded. This was obviously not an ordinary stomach disease.

He asked again:

“As far as I know, you are not rich. But the medical record in your hand is from the Morn City Hospital.”

“If I were you, I wouldn’t be able to afford a whole set of tests, right?”

Jack did not deny it. He said:

“The doctor was very nice. He took me through various tests. He said today was his lucky day. Seeing that I was too thin, he told me to do one good deed every day to help me.”

“He didn’t charge me any fees, but he also said that I had to raise the subsequent treatment costs myself. All he could do for me was to do a check and tell me what disease I had.”

Wen Xishu’s heart skipped a beat:
“Can you tell me the doctor’s contact information?”

Jack had no doubts about Wen Xishu, so he left a number.

Wen Xishu finally said:
“Jack, has Jennifer ever felt sick? I don’t mean in the stomach, I mean anywhere.”

Jack looked surprised again, as if he was surprised that Wen Xishu could always notice things that others had not noticed.

“Yes… Jennifer told me that she occasionally heard some strange noises. There was obviously no one around.”

Wen Xishu has almost learned all the information.

“Thank you very much for your cooperation, Jack. Finally, I would like to leave a little gift for you.”

Wen Xishu asked for paper and pen, and began to write something quickly. Then he tore off the paper, folded it, and handed it to Jack.

“You can understand this as an invitation, but don’t open it now.”

“Please open it only when you feel the pain is unbearable and want to see Jennifer.”

Jack didn’t understand, but Wen Xishu’s gratitude made him feel like he had some value.

He accepted the invitation.

Wen Xishu didn’t ask any other questions. He said goodbye to Jack and left the old building.

He had verified his guess from Jack.

“I was misled. It wasn’t the painful experiences that turned Jack into a monster.”

“He experienced a painful day when he was about to turn into a monster.”

“It is inevitable that Jack will become a monster. Maybe the same will happen to Jennifer in the future. They have something in common and are attracted to each other.”

Only after verifying the logic of Jack turning into a monster can Wen Xishu start the next stage of work.

The verification process went smoothly. Although he did not have any desire sequence, Jack still maintained goodwill towards Wen Xishu and answered all his questions.

But before the next round of work begins, Wen Xishu still has to figure out a character that makes him very uncomfortable.

I originally thought that in this mission, only Jack and Jennifer were worth paying attention to.

But now, Wen Xishu has found another person worth caring about.
