Greck sent his men to investigate the current whereabouts of the "little assassin" and his son.

After obtaining their current address, Greke hailed a taxi and went to their neighborhood.

This is a residential complex that was built more than ten years ago, and its surface already shows signs of age. Located in a middle-class area, it houses many working professionals.

The security guards here are rather lazy, and Grek followed a resident into the community. Seeing that Grek was well-dressed, the guards didn't question him, even though he was a stranger.

Grek walked to a secluded corner and changed his face. This face was just an ordinary face, devoid of any distinguishing features.

Grek took out his phone and looked at his face to make sure there was nothing wrong before he started strolling around the neighborhood.

He came here hoping to run into the father and son, because he had a feeling he would encounter them.

Grek wandered around the neighborhood for about half an hour, and just as he was about to give up, he actually saw a familiar little figure.

The young assassin was being led by his father. Judging from their appearance, they were heading somewhere.

Greck followed them discreetly and discovered that they were heading to the property and seemed to be negotiating with the property management about selling their current residence.

Because the two of them were somewhat famous, many people in the neighborhood who knew them recognized them as the infamous Killer Family.

This caused them great inconvenience. So they decided to move to a more low-key place and start a new life.

Greck followed them silently until they returned home, at which point he turned and left.

As for why he wanted to come and see the father and son, Grek himself couldn't explain it. He just wanted to come and see them, nothing more.

But Greck knew in his heart that his connection with the father and son was not over yet. They would meet again sooner or later.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Girl is using her limited network of contacts to try and find some reliable psychologists.

She didn't get a good feeling about Grek, so she wanted to find a more reliable doctor.

After much effort, she actually found a well-known psychologist in the city.

The reason the doctor helped her was not because of the meager reward the dragon girl offered, but because he had heard that the dragon girl was actually dissatisfied with Greg's psychological treatment plan.

Greck is the most famous psychologist in the city, and even enjoys a certain reputation internationally. His treatment plan is undoubtedly authoritative. But the fact that this plan dissatisfies the Dragon Girl piqued the psychologist's curiosity.

So he came over without asking for any payment.

The two arranged to meet at a coffee shop. The psychologist looked a bit older than Greke, but he also had a remarkable demeanor and a composed air about him.

"Thank you so much for coming. My fiancé has been having some trouble with his mood lately. He used to be a firefighter..." The dragon girl briefly explained the situation.

After learning about these circumstances, the psychologist had a general impression of Vic.

"Okay, I understand what you've said. But I have some questions, and I'd appreciate your answers."

"Please speak," the dragon girl said earnestly.

"I heard that the psychologist who initially treated your fiancé was Greg, who is far more authoritative than me. I don't quite understand why you refused his treatment."

"Well... I can't really explain it. I just feel like Dr. Greck is making my fiancé escape reality." The Dragon Girl began to recount the strange conversation between Greck and Vic in the hospital.

The psychologist raised an eyebrow after listening to the whole thing.

"In your professional opinion, is this treatment plan correct? It's causing my fiancé to fall into a delusional state, denying the reality of the world… Is this some kind of therapy?" the Dragon Girl asked cautiously. She was also afraid of misunderstanding Greck.

“I’ve never heard of this therapy… I don’t really agree with this approach.” The psychologist took off his glasses and shook his head. Even he felt there was something wrong with Grek’s plan.

"Phew~~" The dragon girl breathed a sigh of relief, but then became worried again.

“Dr. Gary has helped us a lot, and we should thank him. But I’m really worried about my fiancé.”

“I understand how you feel, madam. Starting tomorrow, I will speak with your fiancé. Of course, I will also consult with Dr. Greck, as there may be some misunderstanding.”

"Okay, thank you!"

After their conversation at the coffee shop, they parted ways, and the Dragon Girl took a taxi back to the hospital.

However, when she arrived at Vic's hospital room, Vic was not in bed. She hurriedly asked the nurse and learned that Vic had been taken outside by Grek!

The dragon girl was a little angry when she heard this. Vic's injuries were very serious. What if he got sick if he went outside? So she hurriedly went to the small park near the hospital.

Meanwhile, Vic, who was in a wheelchair, was being slowly pushed forward by Greke.

“Dr. Grek, to be honest, I had another dream. I dreamt that I became a dragon knight again…” Vic said.

“That’s good. It seems you’re getting closer to the truth,” Grek said with a smile.

"But... are all of those things really true?" Vic was still confused.

“Those are indeed real events. The reason you don’t believe them is because you’re in a dream. This dream is so real that you can’t feel what your real self is like.”

“Dr. Grek, I also hope what you’re saying is true. But the problem is, how can you prove that we’re dreaming right now?” Vic asked the crux of the matter.

Greck stroked his chin, then stretched out his hand, and a beautiful flower bloomed in his palm.

“What do you see in my hand?” Grek asked.

Vic paused for a moment, then looked carefully for a long time, but couldn't see anything.

"I'm sorry, I can't see it."

"Huh!?" Grek was startled. He looked at the flower in his hand, his expression somewhat helpless. It turned out that only he could see this flower; no one else could see it at all.

Grek looked somewhat embarrassed. "Ahem..."

He casually tossed the flower on the ground, and it bounced back and forth after landing, looking just like a full, real flower.

Unfortunately, it seems that only he can appreciate such flowers.

This time, Grek didn't let the flower disappear; he was hoping someone would see it. So he left the flower on the ground.

“Dr. Grek, were you guiding me into a hypnotic state just now? I remember many hypnotherapists like to use hand gestures to guide patients into a hypnotic state,” Vic asked.

In fact, Vic had made a lot of preparations for this. From the moment he met Grek, he remained focused to ensure that he would not be hypnotized.

Because he also wanted to know whether what he dreamed about was real.

Therefore, in Vic's view, Grik's behavior just now was Grik using hand gestures to hypnotize him.

"I didn't mean to hypnotize you. I just wanted you to see a beautiful flower, but it seems only I can see it. Now I've left it on the ground; maybe someone else will be able to see it?"

"Huh? Is this some kind of psychological magic trick to create a collective illusion?" Vic asked.

"...Where did you get this knowledge from?" Grek was somewhat speechless.

"I really enjoyed watching TV programs during my university years, especially the late-night shows. There was one program that specifically talked about psychology..."

"Well, it seems that those television media outlets can still play a positive role," Grek said helplessly.

"..."

Then silence fell. Greck was in a dilemma. He couldn't prove to Vic that this world was fake.

"Should we use face-changing?" Grek hesitated.

But just as he hesitated, the Dragon Girl walked over aggressively.

"Dr. Grek! Vic is still not feeling well! What if he gets sick from being out here?"

Dragon Girl pushed past Grik and grabbed the armrest of Vic's wheelchair.

Grek was pushed aside, looking somewhat embarrassed.

“Dr. Grek, I have already asked another well-known psychologist in the city to help Vic with his mental health.”

"We are very grateful for your help, but I would like to be able to make our own decision regarding the choice of doctor. Thank you!"

The dragon girl's attitude was very firm.

“I don’t need to change doctors…” Vic was interrupted by the dragon girl before he could finish speaking.

"Silence! I'll make the decision!"

"Uh... okay." Vic immediately backed down.

Greck sighed, feeling his thinking hadn't gone deep enough. He had only seen the cause of the troubles, but hadn't gone any further to consider the origins of the world.

However, he already had a general idea of ​​what to do; what he needed now was to calm down and think it through.

So he said to the Dragon Girl, "I respect your choice. I've been a bit tired these past few days and need to rest for a while. Goodbye."

Greck smiled and left. Only after he left did a hint of guilt appear on the Dragon Girl's face.

She felt that Greck didn't seem to have any bad intentions, maybe she was just being too sensitive? But now that it was too late to regret it.

The dragon girl calmed herself down and then pushed Vic back to the ward.

However, Vic looked somewhat downcast, which worried the Dragon Girl greatly.

"Did I change your doctor and make you unhappy?" the Dragon Girl asked.

"No, maybe I'm just tired," Vic forced a smile.

Actually, Vic was upset because he didn't get the answer he wanted. He really wanted Grek to tell him that he was a dragon knight and that the real world was nothing but a nightmare.

But deep down he was telling himself that this was absolutely impossible, and he wanted to face reality.

Caught between these two conflicting thoughts, Vic didn't seem happy.

The dragon girl leaned down and kissed Vic, who was startled. He and the dragon girl had never been so intimate before; at most, they would hold hands.

Two rosy blushes appeared on the Dragon Girl's usually indifferent face.

"Please cheer up, I'll be waiting for you."

Vic stared blankly at the dragon girl, all the negative emotions in his heart vanishing at that moment.

Meanwhile, Greik has taken leave yet again. Everyone is quite understanding of the dean, who only attends less than two weeks of classes each month.

After all, the dean is now a big shot, and he probably has a lot of social engagements. So everyone's reaction was lukewarm; they've gotten used to it.

After taking leave, Grek didn't go home. Instead, he put on a normal face, took the subway, and began to think while sitting on the subway.

As for why he came here? Mainly because Grek felt there were too many people here.

He was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

So he casually conjured a flower and threw it on the ground.

People were coming and going in the carriage, but no one looked down at it. After watching for a while, Grek regained his focus.
