Chapter 282: Hysteria

In the hallway, the staff began to move around.

In several wards, some people were taken out one after another.

Lian Yue noticed those people, and his face suddenly sank.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ziqiu saw that her face was not good, and asked with concern.

Lian Yue turned around and retracted his expression: "It's okay." ”

Chen Ziqiu was suspicious, turned around and glanced at Aunt Liu, the expressions of the two were a little subtle.

This little girl is very strange, since she came in, she has said very little, she has always had a wooden face, her eyes are empty, and she does not know where to look.

Seeing her reply, Ziqiu was gone, and her eyes still looked empty, as if she didn't want to speak anymore.

She pursed her lips, feeling a little strange, and quietly picked up her phone and sent a message to the group.

Ziqiu: [I always think that girl named Lianyue is a little strange]

Jiang Rong: [What's wrong?] 】

Ziqiu: [She just sat up suddenly, with a strange expression, as if she had seen something nasty.] 】

Jiang Rong: [Hey, maybe that's the kind of person you have, think about when you were in the mall before. 】

As soon as Jiang Rong's words came out, everyone invariably recalled the previous picture of where Lian Yue was raising his legs in place, and suddenly the dull wooden face with empty eyes lingered in front of everyone, and they couldn't shake it off.

Jiang Rong's heart was even more cloudy, thinking that he had been pulling her with him all the way, he felt that it was not easy for this girl to be so mentally discouraged, and she could grow so big intact.

Lian Yue's attention was outside, so naturally he didn't have time to care about the changes in their minds.

Because the staff took away no one else, it was those who had been "infected" before, among them, Bai Lang and Xu Lin.

It just so happened that at this time, Ziqiu also raised his head: "Bai Lang and Xu Lin have been taken for inspection again." ”

When Aunt Liu heard this, she looked over in surprise: "How did they... Did you find anything on the inspection? ”

Lian Yue's eyes moved slightly, and she was also waiting for Ziqiu's answer.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Ziqiu raised his mobile phone, a little embarrassed: "I don't know, they sent a message to themselves just now." ”

Lian Yue lowered her eyes, hiding her inner thoughts, but her spiritual power extended with the people of the large army, she wanted to see what they had discovered.

Ziqiu saw that after she finished speaking, Lian Yue's eyes began to empty again, and sighed in her heart, this girl...

On the other side, as Lian Yue's spiritual power extended, he followed the crowd to another building.

One by one, they entered the room, and they were greeted not by another blood draw, or by another instrument.

It was a doctor, dressed in a neat hazmat suit, waiting for their arrival.

The doctor didn't do any tests, but instead chatted with them about why they went to the mall today, what they planned to do, what they encountered, and what happened next.

In short, the doctors in each room carefully asked the questions that had been repeated twice before.

Some people are already getting a little impatient, and some people are becoming more afraid.

Men are grumpy, women are crying; Men are depressed, women are hysterical.

Everyone's emotions seem to be more amplified in this room, magnified, amplified, magnified, depressed, cathartic, relieved, the whole process goes through again, and almost everyone knows what these doctors do to do the examination.

After another five hours, dozens of psychiatrists screened everyone and walked out of the room with thick records in hand to a conference room at the end of the hallway.

There, the entire medical team has been waiting for a long time.

After a brief exchange, a brief consensus has been reached among the doctors who are responsible for presiding over the work below.

"Doctor Zhang, you come first."

In the conference room, the man sitting in the main seat motioned for a young doctor to speak first.

Dr. Zhang, who was about thirty years old, with a pair of glasses and a polite appearance, stood up: "Hello team leader, let me introduce the situation on our side first. ”

"At present, a total of 1,328 people have been admitted to the rehabilitation hospital, and after our physical index collection, except for 245 of them who have the influence of pre-existing diseases, the overall physical indicators are within the benign range, and no suspicious symptoms of infection have been found.

"Among them, 1,185 patients have had symptoms, and 143 have not had symptoms, and all physical indicators are currently within the normal range. In our judgment, this is not a so-called outbreak of infectious diseases, nor is it a so-called poisoning incident. ”

"It's not poisoning, it's not infection, so why is there such a large-scale problem in such a short period of time?" The group leader seated in the main seat asked.

Dr. Zhang nodded and continued, "Therefore, we suspect that this is not a physiological lesion, but most likely hysteria. ”

"Hysteria?" Someone started talking.

"Yes, so we invited a colleague from the psychiatric department to assist in the diagnosis," he said, pointing his hand to the doctors who had just come in with the information.

"Dr. Wang, please explain it to us."

The middle-aged female doctor he called Dr. Wang stood up and cleared her throat: "To be precise, we call this mass hysteria. ”

"But usually, we think of mass hysteria as a place where there is a lot of discipline and environmental stress, such as schools, factories, monasteries, military barracks, etc. Generally speaking, hysteria is a mental disorder based on conversion and dissociation, which is obviously guided by mental factors, and causes symptoms when major environmental pressures, inner conflicts, emotional agitation, suggestion or self-suggestion, etc., act on susceptible individuals. ”

"At this time, the patient will lose the recognition of self-identity and memory of the past, which will manifest as a narrowing of consciousness, selective amnesia, or a mental outburst. Some will also have a series of physiological symptoms, such as spasms, syncope, nausea, vomiting, itching, etc. ”

As she spoke, she paused and patted the record that was stacked high on the side of her hand: "This incident is like this, most of the people showed symptoms of fainting on the ground, and even convulsions and foaming at the mouth. ”

"Again, we have gone through a series of examinations and have not found any organic changes in these patients, which makes us turn our suspicions to mass hysteria, because it can be transmitted like a plague, and in some specific cases, it can even evolve from one person's 'madness' to 'collective madness', which makes mass hysteria, every outbreak, full of mystery."

To make it easier to understand, Dr. Wang simply gave an example.

"The first thing that attracted attention was in the summer of 1518. At that time, in Strasbourg of the Holy Roman Empire, which is now France, there was a sudden epidemic of 'dancing plague'. ”

"At first, a woman suddenly started dancing in the street, and after four days in a row, the procession of dancers increased to 34 people, and the street began to crowd. Then within a month, more than 400 people across the city had started dancing. ”

"At that time, the medical cognition was not yet developed, and these people were sleepless for five generations, and they couldn't stop when they were exhausted, and they could only regain their consciousness when their feet were bleeding and tired to the point of blood. More than a dozen of them died of stroke or even heart disease due to excessive fatigue. ”

"Curiously, this 'dance plague' did not occur more than once in the Middle Ages, and in the records there were seven other cases of dance plague reported in the same area. And this is not the most sensational, since then, the Paris nuns have learned to meow and even bite each other. ”

Even in modern times, there are many examples of this. For example, in 1997, the famous Japanese 3D dragon vertigo incident, at 18:30 on December 16, Japanese audiences were watching the 38th episode of "Pokemon" "Computer Show 3D Dragon", but at 18:50, there were a large number of highlights, flashing special effects, and then there were children with symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea spasms, hallucinations, etc. ”

"Within half an hour, more than 600 teenagers were taken to the hospital for treatment, including 208 in coma and 3 in severe coma. Then, after a lot of media coverage, the consent happened again, and the number of students who showed symptoms of discomfort was approaching 12,000 on the fifth day. ”

Dr. Wang's words caused everyone in the conference room to start pondering.

This incident is the same, sudden, many people were affected, obviously not in the slightest connection, but there were different degrees of symptoms.

Pathological tests have also yielded no results, and it seems that the only explanation can only be based on mass hysteria.

Then, the problem turns in another direction.

What is it that causes so many people to have a mass seizure?

"On this point, our medical team has come to a possible inference after extensive investigation." Dr. Wang pursed his lips, a little nervous and a little excited.

Everyone's eyes were on her, and even Lian Yue focused on her.

Curious what she could say to explain this strange event caused by the invasion of dimensional energy?

"In our investigation, we found that 58 women and 33 men mentioned in the interviews that they seemed to hear a buzzing sound in their ears before the incident, like infrasound."

Suddenly, everyone sat up straight.

This is a valid piece of information, and although it is a small percentage of people who hear the sound, it may also be a direction to refer to.

Lian Yue couldn't help but get serious, infrasound?

It stands to reason that people can't hear it, but it might as well be able to feel it.

Could it really be that the sound waves caused by the accumulation of energy are caused?

Lian Yue thought in this direction, and then shook her head again, others don't know, can she still not know?

When those tube-like gray and white energy were inserted into the human body, when they were tangled into a net, she could see it clearly, and it would never be so simple.

But what does it matter?

The more they understood it, the less trouble she had to worry about.
