After quite a while, Ning Zhi was finally able to calm herself down. She confirmed from her memory that Lu Jue was not violent when he was having an episode before she felt relieved and started to approach him.
The man acted like he couldn't feel pain at all and slammed against the wall repeatedly. Even if the walls were padded but a normal person would still pass out from slamming against it that way. Yet Lu Jue didn't seem like he could feel a thing.
Ning Zhi had come across some articles on autism in the past and learned that many autistic patients had a delayed sensation and decreased sensitivity to pain and could potentially pose a danger to themselves.
She walked over to him and tried to tug at Lu Jue's hand.
His fingers were slender and his hand chilly. Ning Zhi had just touched his hand when she saw a white bubble-shaped display box appeared suddenly over Lu Jue's head with a cute black cloud inside of it.
Ning Zhi thought she was seeing things and blinked a few times forcefully.
Nevertheless, after blinking for a few times. The bubble display box over Lu Jue's head stayed and the black cloud was still floating inside of it.
What was that?
Ning Zhi turned and looked over at Mother Lu. She was looking at Ning Zhi anxiously and there was nothing over her head. Lu Jue was the only one that has it.
[It's a display of his mood.]
A milky little boy's voice came from inside of Ning Zhi's head. Stunned, her eyes widened. Who was talking to her?
The little milky voice continued to ring inside of her head. [Black cloud means that Lu Jue is in a bad mood. A black cloud with a lightning means he's mad and a little sun means he's happy.]
Ning Zhi was shocked. Lu Jue's mood would be indicated?
The little milky voice carried on in a serious tone: [Lu Jue's autism has turned severe and he can hurt himself at any moment and pose a danger to others' safety. As for you, you had been locked on by Lin Tiantian as someone whom she wants to steal the halo from. Right now, your halo value is at 0. Having 0 means that your physical appearance will be in its worst state and that you will lose your life.]
Ning Zhi, "You mean to tell me that Lin Tiantian had selected me as her target and had stolen all of my halo?"
She knows that Lin Tiantian was the female lead in the novel and that original owner and Lu Jue were both cannon fodders who died at the end. But what was the story on the halo?
[You have already died once. If your halo value is still at 0 in three days' time, you will die again.]
Okay. She had it figured out now. Original owner's halo was completely stolen by the female lead which brought about her death and now she had come and replaced her.
Ning Zhi was very speechless. So, all she had was three days' time to live?
The little milky voice continued: [For each little sun that you collect, you can recover 1% of your halo from Lin Tiantian.]
Ning Zhi asked, "All I need to do is to collect these suns in order to regain my halo is stay alive? And I can also get my looks back?]
Little milky voice: [That's right.]
Ning Zhi, "And I need to appease Lu Jue in order to collect these little suns?"
The little milky voice only wished it could nod. [That's right!]
Ning Zhi frowned. If Lu Jue was a normal person, then this assignment wasn't that difficult. Except that he was someone with autism. Never mind about appeasing him, it would be difficult enough just trying to communicate with him.
Little milky voice: [The little suns that you collect can also help Lu Jue improve his symptoms.]
"Treat autism?" Ning Zhi was even more shocked. Autism was a kind of illness that could only be improved with intervention, not cured. "You can cure Lu Jue?"
Little milky voice: [You are the one who can help him. My name is Overlord. Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have any questions.]
And it disappeared after it had finished saying that.
Ning Zhi felt like busted out laughing. The milky voice didn't go well with the name Overlord at all.
At the same time, Lu Jue tugged his hand that was held by her a little and stopped slamming against the wall. Instead, he looked at her being at loss.
Lu Jue was a very pretty man. His face was a little pale but his features were delicate and his nose tall and straight. His beautifully shaped lips tightened shut slightly.
Few male stars have the looks that could rival his even in the entertainment circle.
Sensing that Ning Zhi was approaching him, Lu Jue's eyes lingered for a little while on her face before he quickly looked away.
Ning Zhi was a little stunned. Lu Jue has a pair of beautiful peach-blossom eyes. His eyes that should be conveying emotions were clean and pure. Unlikely those of a normal person, they were scattered, unfocused.
