Chapter II Contracts
"The first question, there is a person in front of you who is suffering from an illness, he has no cure, he can only wait for death in pain, if you have a gun in your hand, you will ...... at this time
A: Try to communicate with him so that he can regain his confidence to live
B: Call the police and let someone else take care of this
C: End his suffering with a gun and turn himself in
D: End his suffering, cover up the crime"
Obviously, this is a very ordinary psychological test, and then there will be a series of similar questions, each option corresponding to a score, and finally add and subtract to roughly determine a person's psychological condition.
But this test is too general and inaccurate to be used as a psychological assessment for a mentally ill person......
"So, this is not a test that will decide whether I will be discharged or not." Chen Xiao thought.
While coming to this conclusion, he was still thinking about the questions raised by Ms. Liu, as if he could think about many things at the same time without interfering with each other.
First of all, he naturally knew what the results of these four answers represented. So what will the real self do after putting aside the options, will he kill him? Will you try to save him? Or call the police? Maybe you'll look at him in pain, and then laugh at him, maybe you'll mumble in his ear how terrible the disease is, and see how long it will take to drive him crazy. Or .....
For a while, countless possibilities appeared in his mind, but to Chen Xiao's surprise, he didn't know what he would do.
This is a very strange feeling, everyone should have a subconscious projection of themselves, such as knowing that they are afraid of spiders, knowing that they will hurt after being scalded by boiling water, and knowing that their wife will be angry after being slept with, which is a kind of self-thinking similar to instinct.
But Chen Xiao didn't seem to have this ability, and the countless possibilities were like a big turntable that kept turning, and until the moment it stopped, he couldn't know what he would do.
This wonderful feeling made Chen Xiao feel ...... It's fun! I even feel like I want to laugh!
Of course, he won't really laugh, this lack of self-control can be classified as crazy, but not stupid, Chen Xiao is very clear about his situation.
So it probably took him less than a tenth of a second to think about all of the above questions, and it took him nine-tenths of a second to glance at the window on the right side of the room, smell the room, and blink by the way. Then he said in an affirmative but unpretentious tone: "B! β
Ms. Liu drew a few strokes on the file and moved on to the next question.
......
These questions are pretty much the same, including compassion, values, respect for life, and so on. And most of them are very simple, so that people know what to choose as soon as they hear the answer. So much so that Chen Xiao felt a little bored.
So he began to concentrate on two things again, answering questions and observing his surroundings.
Well... The walls had been painted not long ago, the dΓ©cor was not bad, there was a water dispenser, there was an air conditioner, and although there were a lot of books on the bookcase, they were obviously not needed for the office, so she probably didn't have a lot of work to deal with. Even if there is a job, it is not about the patient, although the chair is not big, but it is obviously very comfortable, it belongs to the type that does not feel uncomfortable when lying down and sleeping, the hospital should not have a separate room like this for the average doctor, that is, this woman will be a high-level figure in the hospital, which can also explain why he does not wear a badge. But judging from her behavior and demeanor, she should be a person who has been on the front line of work for a long time.
At this time, Chen Xiao's eyes were attracted by something at the top of the bookshelf. These include pens, some notebooks, a very large transparent thermos cup, the kind without handles, through the wall of the cup you can see half of the tea in it, and a picture frame, but you can't see the picture in the frame.
Chen Xiao turned his gaze to the office desk again, and then he quickly came to a conclusion.
That is, this office is not Ms. Liu's in front of her, she is just borrowing it temporarily. Not only because Chen Xiao didn't find the ashtray, but also from the huge water cup, he could probably guess that its owner should be a man, and he respected or feared Ms. Liu in front of him, and it was not just polite to clean up the tabletop so cleanly. Although not entirely certain, such reasoning can temporarily explain some of the doubts that have arisen before.
Then immediately afterwards, another question arose, should this Ms. Liu not be from this hospital? Otherwise, there is no need to borrow this office temporarily, and it is impossible to conduct such a simple and meaningless psychological test. Is she a staff member of another unit or organization? Even if it is, it should be grassroots, otherwise it wouldn't be sent to this kind of place at night.
Oh, by the way, Chen Xiao must have known that it was night, after all, he had just glanced out the window. At the same time, in the second between Ms. Liu finishing the first question and Chen Xiao saying the answer. He also saw that there was no light outside the window, and it was not cold inside the house, and although he could not feel the current season from the temperature, he could be sure that there was no artificial heating such as heating. There is no frost on the mirror, it is not late autumn or winter, and of course it is not ruled out that you are in the tropics. Not sleepy at all, maybe you're a night owl? The more likely is that it's not too late, and assuming it's spring, it's most likely between 8 and 12 p.m. Quiet outside the window, no car, no water, no wind, remote.
I wanted to write over these useless things, but I accidentally wrote them again, and it was really not to make up the word count.
To get back to the point, what kind of grassroots staff would make the senior leaders of such a large neurological hospital look like this? I can even be discharged from the hospital as a mentally ill person, who should be considered a very dangerous person, so what should I do if I go out and endanger society? It is unlikely that there is a place with such a large amount of power.
Chen Xiao thought so, and Ms. Liu's test seemed to be nearing the end.
"One last question, ...... Are you an anti-socialist, yes or no! β
Chen Xiao frowned, judging from the previous tests, it was obvious that this question was a little too irresponsible, and he looked at Ms. Liu's expression again, revealing a faint impatience...... At this time, Chen Xiao had another conjecture and immediately confirmed it.
"Uh......" he snorted through his nose, a very, very subtle pronunciation, short and so small that it was a little inaudible, but he could roughly tell it was a syllable, something like "um". If this pronunciation is an answer to a question, it should mean "yes" for the answer. However, because it is so vague, most people have doubts and have to confirm it. At this time, Chen Xiao can change the answer to "No!" β
Then why did Chen Xiao do this, because he wanted to see the reaction of this Ms. Liu.
Sure enough, she didn't confirm the answer to Chen Xiao, but as if she had finally completed a boring cutscene, she exhaled a long breath, and then looked much more relaxed, and made a stroke on the file book.
At this moment, Chen Xiao should be able to confirm that this test is actually irrelevant.
"Then the main event should be in the back." He thought.
Just as he thought, Ms. Liu turned around, threw the folder on the desk, and then picked up a notebook similar to a contract, and then grabbed something again, and returned to Chen Xiao again.
"Congratulations, you passed the psychological test, and you are extremely honored to have the opportunity to work with us." She said, speaking a little faster, and this passage should be said often.
"We're working on some new products, you don't need to know what they are for the time being, you just need to know that now you've been selected as a volunteer to test some of their performance, and there may be dangers during the test, but you know that drinking water is in danger of choking, in short, after you complete these performance tests, you will be released, and all your past crimes, danger records, disease certificates, and all the things that have adversely affected you will be erased, and you can go back to society and start a new life." Ms. Liu continued to speak in an orderly manner, and then she picked up the notebook in her hand and turned directly to the last page.
"As long as you put a handprint on it!" "Now you have 20 seconds to think about whether to fight for your freedom or go back to that room for the rest of your life," she said. Oh, and 10 seconds to go, 9,8......"
It's a very simple conversation trick to put two very different options in front of you, and then use time to urge you to make a choice quickly, at which point almost everyone will be so rushed to choose the option that looks so good that they don't have time to think about what is behind it.
But Chen Xiao is different, he knows very well what these two options mean, this contract is signed, it will definitely be a huge pit, and when people know the truth, they will regret the decision they made today.
So he barely had the slightest time to think, and said directly: "I agree!" β
Belch...... Yes, he agreed.
Because the other option was unacceptable to him, Chen Xiao couldn't bear to be pushed back to the ward like this, no matter how terrible things he would face after signing this contract, at least it would be more interesting.
Interesting! ...... Chen Xiao suddenly thought of this word, and seemed to have found something so important that he wanted to pursue it at all costs.
"Life has to be interesting!" He thought, unconsciously cracked the corners of his mouth, and wanted to laugh!
"Oh! It's really ......" Ms. Liu muttered in front of her, and Chen Xiao knew that the second half of her sentence was the word "disgusting".
As for me being disgusted when I laugh, hey?
At this time, Ms. Liu frowned, put a piece of ink clay next to Chen Xiao's right hand, and then said, "Press it." β
Because the wrist was tied very firmly, Chen Xiao had a lot of effort to touch the ink, which was slimy and uncomfortable.
Immediately, Ms. Liu handed over the document again.
"Press!" She said very simply.
Chen Xiao also tried his best to press his thumb print on the contract again.
Ms. Liu picked up the contract and looked at it, nodded slightly, turned around and held the documents on the table in her arms.
Then he pushed the door open and walked out.
Chen Xiao heard her say to the medical staff with the cart still standing at the door, "Someone will come to pick him up tomorrow morning......
"Yes, Miss Liu!" The man said.
Then, the sound of high heels grew farther and farther away......
