Chapter 412 Death is like a lamp going outBefore Ranran was about to follow the team to the Flower Eater Cave, something unexpected happened in the Non-Investigation Bureau.
Wang Pingan...is dead.
Committed suicide by hanging.
When Ran Ran followed Hei Cha to the morgue, there was only the silent Doctor Bai inside. Minister Gao arrived shortly afterwards, breathing heavily and looking dazed.
The silence lasted for a long time before Minister Gao spoke.
“Not everyone can survive something like that.”
"Those who are still alive should mourn."
"Have the family been notified?"
Black Tea: "I have notified you immediately."
Ranran looked indifferently at the face that was breathing and talking not long ago, but now turned pale and lifeless.
Is it because he couldn't bear the pain of his companions dying because of him and his things being taken away because of him that he chose to end his life?
Doctor Bai suddenly laughed, but there was no smile on his face that Ranran was familiar with. He even frowned as he looked at Wang Ping'an's body.
Frowning and laughing? Is this scene funny? Or is Dr. Bai confused?
"He took all the blame on himself." Doctor Bai said in a low voice, as if explaining the cause of Wang Ping'an's death.
The next second, his tone suddenly changed, "But even so, he shouldn't have chosen to end his life."
Doctor Bai's tone became complicated, and no one present could understand it.
"Life is such a precious thing that it cannot be easily taken away by natural disasters or man-made calamities. How can you destroy this precious thing yourself?"
Under Ranran's surprised gaze, Dr. Bai reached out and touched Wang Ping'an's cold, bloodless cheek.
"Beneath this soft skin, there should be blood pulsating in the veins. The tiny pulse that is imperceptible to others can bring vitality to this body."
"The complex but orderly tissues and organs, down to the smallest cells, make up a human body. This is something that even the most sophisticated instruments in the world cannot compare to."
Ranran looked at Heicha with a slightly puzzled look, but Heicha didn't care about her.
I saw Hei Cha approaching Doctor Bai cautiously, and his words were very careful, "Doctor Bai, let's leave here first."
"I know you don't like people who don't appreciate you, so let's not stay here, okay?"
Doctor Bai slowly turned his head, his long white eyelashes as sad and beautiful as pale and fragile butterfly wings.
"Why do you treat yourself in such a cruel way?" Faced with Hei Cha's reminder, he forced himself to stay awake, and his thin body moved up and down.
He was gasping for breath and seemed to be in great pain.
Hei Cha carefully placed his hand on Dr. Bai's shoulder, "It's okay."
Doctor Bai bent down, his whole body like a stretched-tight string, but his breathing gradually slowed down.
No one spoke in the morgue, everyone waited quietly.
Time passed little by little, and Dr. Bai finally regained his composure.
Ranran blinked her eyes. In fact, she felt that the restless Dr. Bai was more like a living person, even though he was in pain and difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Although he was calm and could talk and laugh, his whole person gave people the feeling of a "corpse" for no reason.
He is a doctor who saves lives and his abilities are similar to spiritual power, full of vitality, but he himself...
But like a walking corpse.
Doctor Bai smiled at everyone with a pale face, "Sorry, I lost my composure."
Ran Ran shook his head along with Minister Gao, the only difference being that Ran Ran looked calm, while Minister Gao looked worried. "Doctor Bai, you must take care of yourself! As the treating physician, there is no one else in the non-investigation bureau except you!"
Doctor Bai lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.
"It's an old problem, and I'm powerless."
Ran Ran spoke up at the right time, "Doctor Bai is such a great doctor, can't he cure himself? If he can revive the dead, then other diseases should be no problem."
Doctor Bai looked up at Ran Ran, who had a calm face, and stared at him for a long time before he said softly, "A doctor cannot heal himself."
The faint sound was like a sigh.
Heicha wanted to take Dr. Bai downstairs to rest, but Dr. Bai stopped at the door.
Doctor Bai: "Will the bureau prepare a funeral for this child?"
Minister Gao was stunned. "Of course, his family's situation is one thing, and the bureau must also do its best."
Although Ranran couldn't see Dr. Bai's face, she felt that he should be smiling, a sincere smile.
Doctor Bai: "Yes, I will participate. It can be regarded as... a companionship, and a final farewell."
After Dr. Bai and Hei Cha left, Ran Ran went to Minister Gao, who was the easiest person to get information from.
"Why was Dr. Bai so weak just now? I even felt... that he was going to die in the next second."
Minister Gao glared at Ran Ran and said, "You are just a child and you can say anything you want, but don't say such things anymore!"
Ranran nodded and acted obediently.
"It's just like what Dr. Bai said. It's an old problem."
Minister Gao seemed to be absorbed in the meeting, and he said earnestly, "Although there is no official conclusion yet, I really think that everyone's ability is not obtained for no reason, especially those with high ability levels."
Minister Gao stretched out his broad palm and looked down. "Like me, I was a warrior before awakening. Defeating the enemy was my strongest thought. After awakening, I am still a powerful warrior."
"Hei Cha used to make a living by killing. As long as her master asked, she could take anyone's life without batting an eyelid, no matter if they were treacherous and sinister, or... a good person."
"She can do all of this. Even though she was recruited to the director's side as a guardian, her murderous nature is still buried deep in her body and cannot be changed."
"So killing is Black Tea's strongest desire. Her awakened abilities have greatly enhanced her assassination methods." Minister Gao smacked his hands, "All of this is really connected."
Ran Ran listened with great interest. When Minister Gao looked down and saw her expression, he immediately said in panic, "You can't tell others about this kind of thing!"
"It's because the director said you can be completely trusted that I told you everything! Don't betray the trust of me and the director."
Ranran smiled on her face but nodded in her heart. It turned out that it was Sun Haian who had spoken, so she was able to gain the trust of so many people from the Non-Investigation Bureau.
This somewhat resolved the doubts in her mind, but it also brought up another problem that she couldn't understand.
Why did Sun Haian give such an order?
But it didn't matter. At least things had become much simpler. She no longer had to feel puzzled about the trust of so many people in the Non-Investigation Bureau. She only had to feel confused about Sun Haian.
Ran Ran blinked her eyes. "Since Director Sun said so, it naturally proves that I am definitely not the kind of person who speaks carelessly."
"Minister Gao, you should not regard Director Sun's words as a request to you, but as an affirmation of my character."
Minister Gao took a moment to react and actually felt that this made a lot of sense.
Why wouldn't he approve of someone the director approves of?
Ran Ran observed Minister Gao's magic and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
What a simple-minded person.
Minister Gao patted Ranran on the shoulder, expressing his recognition of her as a future teammate.
The two took a last look at Wang Ping'an, who seemed to be lying peacefully, and turned off all the lights before leaving.
The whole world was plunged into darkness. As the saying goes, when a person dies, it is like a light going out. This is how it feels...
