Chapter 97: The Professor Doubts Me
In response to my question, Professor Wang picked up the water glass, took only one sip, and then gently put it down.
"If I summarize it, you should soon understand the three characteristics of Xinya's current problems, one is that you are the center, the second is the fictional scene, and the third is the substitution of characters. And all three characteristics are based on a core, which is a strong psychological expectation, in other words, deep fantasy. Xinya fantasizes that you are her husband, that she is your wife. So whenever you tell about your past life, or when you see a scene in the present, she either imagines herself as your wife in the illusory scene or in the scene in front of her, and in this imagination, she unconsciously or unconsciously speaks and acts as your wife. ”
I think Professor Wang's analysis seems to make sense, but it's just .....
"Then why was she able to say some of the things my wife said to me when she was alive?"
This is not difficult to explain. Didn't you say that she often had to tell her about your past life? Didn't you say that you yourself can't remember what you said and what you didn't? The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, what you don't remember, she may have carved it into her mind, and the next time you unconsciously repeat this scene, she will naturally be able to substitute it very accurately. ”
I thought I should admire this Professor Wang, but suddenly I felt that he didn't seem to dig into the root of the problem.
Who am I? What am I? There are so many people who are better than me, so why should Xinya be wrong with me?
A tendon, huh?
Love at first sight?
"I can't tell you what marital entanglements you had in your previous life, as far as the current situation is concerned, to be honest, I will reluctantly explain it with love at first sight. ”
I had suspected that Xinya's motives were not pure, and others had reminded me, could it be that she was so scheming and had been lurking and waiting for the right time?
Based on what I've known about Xinya over the years, I can't say that I accept this inference myself.
"There is indeed love at first sight, how can there be a love like her, to the point of mental illness?"
"Of course, this is only a preliminary analysis based on the information you have provided, and the mental and psychological aspects are too complex, there are many factors that affect them, and it is difficult for the academic community to form a unified understanding of a certain discovery. ”
"Why should you use marriage to solve the problem?"
I found that my problem was already a lot of nonsense, mainly because such a "treatment" plan still had a bit of a psychological impact on me.
"Let her psychological expectations come true, and let her fantasies and desires become reality. ”
"This ......"
It is difficult for me to keep the promise I swore in front of Professor Wang.
Professor Wang looked at me embarrassed and explained with a smile: "To be honest, although you have left the relationship between you other than brother and sister from the beginning, no matter how you look at it, I think you are husband and wife or a couple, and you should not be disgusted with each other at all, so I dare to suggest that." ”
I have long realized what Professor Wang said, and it is difficult for people who do not know the inside story not to think that we are husband and wife. Because there is no turning back, besides, it doesn't matter what people you don't know think, so let it go.
"Isn't there a better way?"
"There is a way," Professor Wang said after a pause, "but I think the effect may not be as effective as the method of marriage." That is to reduce the trigger for her to have fantasies, to reduce the stimulation of such fantasies. To put it bluntly, you don't appear in her life and sight, and don't talk to her about your life and family experiences. But, from what you describe your relationship, I think this is more difficult than the first one, right?"
I have to agree with the professor's judgment. Now for me to suddenly separate from Xinya and disappear from each other, I think it is also an unthinkable thing.
It was at this time that Xinya returned from the bathroom.
I pushed Xinya out of the door, asked her to wait outside for a while, and quickly explained to the professor: "I hope you don't tell Xinya about what I said later, I'm afraid I can't do it, and her situation has become worse." ”
"What's the secret you can't let me know?"
Curiosity drove Xinya to push the door in again in a hurry.
Now that Xinya's matter is over, and Xinya just came in, Professor Wang naturally turned the topic to me.
But for my situation, Professor Wang seemed to be in a dilemma, and in front of Xinya, he asked me very suspiciously: "Do you yourself believe that you have sleepwalking?"
I watched Xinya not speak, and Xinya replied with interest: "Sure, haven't we all told you about those things, isn't it sleepwalking, how could something like that happen?"
I think Professor Wang's question is very immediate.
If I know I'm sleepwalking when I'm sleepwalking, it means I know what I'm doing, so can it still be called sleepwalking? Since sleepwalking is an unconscious act, of course I don't know about sleepwalking, so I can't say I believe it or don't believe it.
"But we followed him for a month, and we didn't find any difference in his brain waves, including when he was awake or asleep, compared to normal people. Neither the outdoor camera nor the indoor camera we installed recorded that he had a tendency to sleepwalk or the fact that he was sleepwalking. ”
"There's a lot of things that can't be explained, and the camera we installed did record him going out in the middle of the night. Xinya was skeptical of Professor Wang's judgment.
"Of course, I'm not absolutely sure that he doesn't have sleepwalking. After all, we followed up and monitored it with his knowledge, and it was only for a month. Those things don't happen every month, do they?"
Xinya and I didn't know which direction Professor Wang's thinking was heading, so we nodded blankly.
Looking back, I feel that what Professor Wang said is still reasonable, and sleepwalking may still exist, but the onset time is irregular.
But Professor Wang then added another sentence that made me find the taste strange.
"You said you were unconscious of what you were sleepwalking doing, did the police believe it?"
======
On the way home from Professor Wang, I couldn't relax in my mind at all.
On the one hand, pondering the two choices that Professor Wang gave me, it was really difficult to decide.
Married to Xinya, the knot in my heart has not yet opened, the search for the soul of my wife has not been fruitful, and I can't explain to my wife; it seems more unrealistic to stay away from Xinya, not to mention the things at work, my personal life Xinya has been like a full-time nanny, without her, it is difficult to imagine.
Besides, with Xinya's appearance, there seems to be no possibility for her to leave.
On the other hand, I pondered what Professor Wang said about me: Did the police believe it?
What exactly does Professor Wang's words mean?
Professor Wang doesn't believe I'm sleepwalking either?
Does that mean I'm pretending to be confused or is it a deliberate impression created by someone else?
