Chapter 6: Dance of Shadows

The next day, Natasha arrived at the psychiatric hospital to visit Jones Lin. Approaching the isolated room where Jones Lin was held, Natasha saw her lying on the bed, staring blankly out the window. Natasha greeted Jones Lin with a friendly hello, but Jones Lin's voice lacked any vitality. She cynically asked Natasha if she was delighted by her current state. Natasha remained silent as Jones Lin expressed her regret for letting Natasha into her life, wishing she had never opened that door. She lamented that if she hadn't, she could have lived carefree until her later years. Her words were filled with remorse and disdain for Natasha.

Natasha tried to encourage Jones Lin to accept reality, but Jones Lin grew increasingly furious. She vehemently denied having any illness and accused everyone of wrongly believing she was sick. Tears streamed down her face as she questioned why nobody listened to their pain, expressing her own deep suffering.

Natasha attempted to console Jones Lin but was met with rejection and even a violent outburst. Jones Lin accused Natasha of bringing her to this hellish state and claimed that her sister, Jones Yu, must have been responsible for turning them into killers. She hurled curses at Natasha and others, her anger escalating.

Frustrated by the situation, Natasha left the room, realizing that Jones Lin's emotional turmoil was more complex than she had initially thought. She understood the difficulty of dealing with someone in Jones Lin's state, who stubbornly refused to acknowledge her condition or seek help.

However, Natasha was not ready to give up. She recognized that working with individuals with mental disorders required patience and understanding. She decided to engage Jones Lin once more, hoping to persuade her to accept treatment and face reality.

A few days later, Natasha returned to the psychiatric hospital, accompanied by a psychologist. Together, they entered Jones Lin's room, aiming to engage her from a more professional standpoint. They hoped to help Jones Lin understand her condition and find suitable treatment.

At first, Jones Lin remained silent in response to their inquiries. However, gradually, she opened up, expressing her inner torment and struggles. While she admitted to evading reality in the past, she vehemently denied having multiple personalities. The psychologist attentively listened, attempting to grasp Jones Lin's psychological state.

Natasha also shared details about Jones Yu, hoping that through this exchange, Jones Lin might realize that she wasn't alone and that people cared about her and her sister's experiences. Despite this effort, Jones Lin maintained a strong sense of hostility and resistance towards Natasha.

The psychologist worked to alleviate Jones Lin's stress, offering professional advice and treatment options. Nonetheless, Jones Lin stubbornly refused any assistance, convinced that she was entirely fine.

Natasha understood the complexity of Jones Lin's condition and the challenge of treating her. She resolved to continue monitoring Jones Lin's situation and seeking further professional guidance, hoping to find a more effective way to help her.

In the following days, Natasha, along with the psychologist and medical staff, kept a close eye on Jones Lin's condition. They made continuous adjustments to the treatment plan, aiming to help her overcome her psychological distress and confront reality.

During this time, Natasha also continued her investigation into the past of the Jones sisters, hoping to uncover key clues and reveal the truth behind the mysteries.

Later on, Natasha had another conversation with Jones Yu. As she listened to Jones Yu's words, Natasha found herself in a complex situation. Jones Yu's attitude remained resolute, refusing to admit guilt for her crimes and instead considering them part of her art. Natasha struggled to persuade her to face reality and accept legal consequences.

Natasha was also puzzled by Jones Yu's comments about her sister, Jones Lin, and her illness. Jones Yu's responses were ambiguous, leaving Natasha even more confused. Jones Yu's words seemed designed to challenge Natasha's beliefs, attempting to make her doubt whether Jones Lin truly had a mental disorder and undermining the ethical and professional integrity of public servants.

Aware of the danger of being drawn into Jones Yu's emotional vortex, Natasha endeavored to maintain her composure and analyze the situation rationally. Nevertheless, Jones Yu's remarks left Natasha bewildered and uncertain about how to proceed with the case and the sisters' mental states.

Natasha decided to temporarily halt her conversations with Jones Yu. Leaving the psychiatric hospital, she returned to her office to confer with the psychologist and other relevant personnel. She recognized the complexity of the case and the need for additional professional opinions and support.

After Natasha left, Jones Yu was led back to her cell by the guards. Sitting on her bed, she quietly counted the minutes, as if waiting for something. Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside her cell, and the door swung open. A tall, slender man wearing a smiling mask entered, carrying a large-caliber handgun and bundles. Jones Yu's face lit up as she embraced the man, addressing him affectionately as "darling."

The man, Kaida Sear, spoke urgently, revealing that he had located Jones Lin and suggesting they rescue her before turning those who posed as righteous into magnificent fireworks. Jones Yu eagerly agreed, and they left her cell together. As they progressed through the facility, they left behind a trail of guards and innocent patients, all brutally murdered. Jones Yu picked up a guard's weapon, following Kaida Sear's lead as they made their way to Jones Lin's room.

Meanwhile, back in the psychiatric hospital, Jones Lin sensed Kaida Sear's presence. Fearing the worst, she tried to hide under her bed, hoping to escape his notice. As the gunfire outside ceased, Kaida Sear entered her room. Jones Lin's heart raced as he lifted the bed, revealing her hiding place. Terrified, she attempted to flee, only to be intercepted and held by her sister, Jones Yu.

Jones Lin struggled to break free from Jones Yu's grasp, determined to escape. However, Kaida Sear administered a tranquilizer, causing her to lose consciousness. Holding her unconscious sister, Jones Yu slowly walked to the rooftop of the hospital, where they awaited the unfolding spectacle.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Natasha and the entire police force responded to the emergency, rushing to the psychiatric hospital for support. Just as they were nearing the hospital, Natasha caught a glimpse of Jones Yu and Kaida Sear standing on the rooftop. A sense of foreboding gripped her heart, and before they could react, a series of explosions erupted, engulfing the police officers in a fiery inferno. The trap set by Kaida Sear had been sprung, leaving most of the police force incapacitated in a matter of moments.

As the explosions illuminated the night sky like grand fireworks, Jones Yu and Kaida Sear, standing on the rooftop, observed the chaos below with a satisfied grin. Their elation contrasted starkly with the desperate struggle of the police and the ensuing carnage. As they watched the tragic scene, Jones Yu and Kaida Sear began to waltz together, disappearing into the night.
