Chapter 82. Split Personality
"So you want a method for healing the meridians," Lily Gomes said, pouring two cups of tea. "But doesn’t our sect have one?"
"I want a non-cruel method," Tyler replied, taking a sip of the tea. He was now sitting in Lily’s office.
"But I don’t have one—aaahhh." Suddenly, she held her head, wincing in pain.
"Are you alright?" Tyler stood up, concerned.
"Don’t mind her. I do have the method," Lily said. This time, her demeanour felt quite different.
"Are you Ms. Lily Gomes?" Tyler asked in confusion.
"Oh yeah. It’s a long story. But to cut it short, I have multiple personalities. My personality is Detective. Her personality is... Defective," she explained, shaking her head in resignation.
Tyler didn’t know what multiple personalities were, so Lily explained a little. It meant a mental health condition where one has two or more separate personalities that control their behaviour at different times.
"Did you get a job?" Lily asked.
"Nope. Not yet," Tyler replied, but he had a bad feeling about where this was going.
"With the look on your face, it seems like you already guessed. Yep, work for me, and the method to restore meridians is yours," Lily said.
