Chapter 34: The Mentally Ill (1)
Albert Rutgers sat in his office, frowning, looking through the materials in his hand. John Jones crouches motionless in the corner of the www.biquge.info wall, and the man enters the mushroom personality again, and John Jones, in this mental state, thinks that he is a big mushroom, refuses to speak and refuses to eat.
The old man is a little distressed, he is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, is the top psychology master in the world today, but he is not a psychiatrist, John Jones has obvious schizophrenia symptoms and cognitive impairment, and the brain has also suffered from the effects of drugs, in this case he needs a psychiatrist and brain doctor the most, psychology can only play a role in adjuvant treatment.
But at present, there are no relevant experts in the academy, and the senior management can only ask him to come out in desperation.
Rutgers is trying to recover John Jones' memories, but this is difficult, as the prefrontal lobe and hippocampus of the brain have been damaged, and John Jones' cognitive and memory functions are deteriorating, his ability to perform daily living is greatly reduced, and his state is getting closer and closer to Otzheimer's disease. Professor Rutgers has seen other patients with Alzheimer's disease, who have lost their memory and ability to live, who do not remember their relatives and children, and who even forget where their home is, and who often get lost when they go out alone.
In China, Alzheimer's disease is known as "Alzheimer's disease".
The old man set his sights on John Jones, a man in his forties, how could he suffer from Alzheimer's?
John Jones slowly straightened up, apparently tired of squatting, and entered the sloth personality, and he staggered to the opposite wall, and then turned back to the other side of the wall, where the man paced back and forth like an animal in a cage.
The professor did not speak, but quietly observed John Jones's behavior.
From a zoological point of view, pacing back and forth in a room is a very typical stereotyped behavior, which can occur in people with depression or mental retardation, doing the same thing over and over again.
Rutgers lowered his head and flipped through the information, although it was not possible to make John Jones completely return to normal, but the results of the treatment in the past six months were still remarkable, John Jones was almost a vegetative person when he was first hospitalized, and now John has a certain cognitive and behavioral ability.
The old man thought about the messenger again, he thought that John Jones only had two personalities, "mushroom" and "sloth", but Zhao Gao's appearance broke the status quo, John suddenly showed unprecedented behavior after seeing Zhao Gao, he jumped on the table like crazy and yelled, Rutgers named the short-lived personality "The messenger".
The Courier only appeared for a minute, and after Zhao Gao left, he never woke up again, and John Jones returned to his original form, switching between mushrooms and sloths.
Rutgers looked down at the record and whispered, "You...... Remember me? Brave ......"
These were the words of John Jones when the messenger appeared, and the old man recorded those words from memory afterwards, and Rutgers intuitively sensed that these things could be very important, a sixth sense of a scientist, like seeing the anomalous data at a glance from the results of dense experiments, which Albert Rutgers had been immersed in for decades, and his attainment and intuition in this field were unmatched.
Brave? Beelzebub? Rutgers frowned, he didn't know what the word meant, why the messenger would suddenly say something so confusing...... It's like a line from a Dungeons & Dragons RPG game, could it be that the messenger woke up just to repeat such a second line to Zhao Gao?
Could it be that this John Jones is a heavy Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast in private? How often do you play these games with Zhao Gao?
The old man began to imagine that a cold and serious special combat member of the Executive Department would shout in the dead of night: Demon King! Your time of death has come! Suddenly, a chill welled up in his back, and he shook his head to throw away these unrealistic ideas.
Rutgers thinks it's more likely to be some kind of code, the Brave Demon King is a pronoun, and the messenger's words are actually a secret word...... The old man became excited, and the young Albert Rutgers, a very poisoned cryptographer with a passion for all kinds of puzzle games, began to spell these words word by word, using all kinds of encryption methods.
At this time, Albert Rutgers was like an old version of 007, he translated the English alphabet into Arabic numerals and Morse code, but in the end he got a bunch of garbled characters.
The old man sighed and looked up to call John Jones, who was still wandering around the room.
"John!"
The man stopped and turned his head.
"What does it mean to be brave? Who is he? Rutgers asked.
John Jones stared at the old man with a blank expression.
"What does the Demon King mean? Is it someone? The old man asked, "What do you know?" ”
The man continued to be confused.
Really...... John Jones in the sloth state has a worrying IQ, not as good as a mushroom, and the sloth personality is very slow in action and thinking, and the reaction arc is extremely long.
"What is the Demon King Game?" The old man asked, "John, did you play any game before?" ”
John Jones's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something.
The old man was a little surprised.
The man turned around, looked very arrogant, and slowly spoke: "I...... Nothing is known. ”
You don't know anything, you're a proud fart.
Rutgers sighed, this result was expected by him, John Jones in the sloth personality state was extremely ignorant, but he also had some inexplicable and deranged pride and pride, as if "Lao Tzu doesn't know anything, but Lao Tzu is the best in the world".
Looks like trying to figure this out...... I can only wait for Zhao Gao to come, the messenger appeared once last time when Zhao Gao was present, if Zhao Gao appears again, I don't know if the sleeping messenger's personality will be revived again? Just asking John Jones certainly won't lead to anything...... The man suffers from severe schizophrenia, in which thoughts and memories are not communicated between several personalities, which means that the sloth and the mushroom will not know what the messenger is thinking, and the only way to know what the messenger means is to make the messenger appear again.
Albert Rutgers put down the case file in his hand, Zhao Gao was not in the academy at this time, I heard that he left the academy on a mission, and he had not returned for three days, he could only wait for Zhao Gao to return to the academy before making the next step.
