Chapter Twenty-Five: Evil or Hysteria
For a while, at four o'clock in the afternoon, her best friend would stand in front of the balcony window of the rental house, put on a red silk pajamas, black long hair shawl, hold a selfie stick in her left hand, and make a big V with her right hand, grinning and smiling to take a photo. Then, at six o'clock in the evening, log on to his "Weibo" and post the photo online. Although she maintained the same posture and smile in the photos she sent, her eyes and personal status on them became more and more gloomy and weird.
Just a week ago, after the girl posted the photo, she actually gave the photo to a very handsome celebrity on the Internet, with a large text narration describing the lingering love process between her and the other party. Although there is a lack of logic between these sentences, it can be clearly seen that she has regarded the other party as her destined lover, and the content of the narration is very fleshy and trivial, which makes people think about it after reading it. At the same time, the appearance of good friends has also changed from the white and tender sunshine before to the pale and gloomy now.
The girl was very worried about her and suggested that her good friend go to see a psychiatrist, but she was scolded by her good friend for being jealous of her love. The girl also thought about telling the counselor about her good friend's abnormal situation, but she was afraid that it would affect her good friend's public assignment opportunity to study abroad next year, so she had no choice but to find me and let herself secretly contact Mr. Bi for professional help.
"Who is your good friend's mentor? Did she play any supernatural games? ”
"Supernatural games? How do you know? She had her birthday in the lab that day and was sleepwalking the night she returned. When I found her out of bed, it was about half past two in the morning, when she was standing alone in front of the bathroom mirror, muttering to herself who I was, almost scaring her half-asleep self to death. Under questioning, she recalled that it was during the day, and the people in the laboratory celebrated her birthday, and they had played the spiritualist game of "Pen Fairy" together. Unfortunately, she angered a female ghost named Shangguan Yun'er, just in her sleep, she heard someone calling her to go to the bathroom, so she got up and followed a girl in red clothes in a daze, and then lost consciousness. Ms. Jiang, her mentor's name is Richard Jenny, she is a very beautiful British Chinese woman, and her good friends have become much more beautiful after following her. ”
"Why does your good friend think that the girl in red is the Shangguan Yun'er who jumped off the building?"
She said that her senior brother had played with the pen fairy and summoned this undead, and it was also thanks to the reminder of the undead that the senior brother successfully conducted a blood type cultivation experiment. Her senior brother asked the name of the undead spirit, Shangguan Yun'er, and said that he was a student of the foggy university. The senior brother himself is a native of Wudu University, and he is in Wuda as an undergraduate, and he knows a lot of people, and after several inquiries in the school, he really found out that a girl named Shangguan Yun'er really jumped off the building and killed herself. That day, after angering the undead, the undead issued a curse, and everyone was afraid, and the senior brother also described the various things of Shangguan Yun'er jumping off the building, which scared them so much that they did not dare to leave the laboratory. ”
Sure enough, her good friend was also a student who had played the "pen fairy" game, and looking at the girl's panicked and helpless appearance, I thought of the children who had already had an accident, and hurriedly comforted her, so that her tension was slightly relieved. After asking the girl's permission, she immediately reported her best friend's situation to the school. Just as everyone was taking the girl to the hospital for treatment, the girl broke free from the care of her family and doctors and committed suicide by jumping off the building in the hospital.
When I found out about this, I was discussing the reactions of several students with Mr. Bi. Based on Ms. Bi's years of experience in psychotherapy and profound medical background, she came to the same conclusion as the conclusion given by Wudu University, that is, mass hysteria!
Mr. Bi explained that hysteria, also known as hysteria, is a common mental disorder with a variety of clinical manifestations, so it is also called a "disease mimic". It is generally a group of disorders caused by life events, inner conflicts, intense emotional agitation, suggestion or autosuggestion, etc. The etiology mainly involves psychological factors and genetic factors, and if the person is emotional, suggestive, self-centered, and full of fantasy, then under the same conditions, these people are more likely to induce the disease.
She explained that many people only know that hysteria is a disease, but they don't know that mass hysteria is also a disease, and mass hysteria is mainly manifested in two aspects: hysterical mood disorder and hysterical amnesia.
Hysterical mood disorder refers to a person's emotional outburst, for example, when encountering some kind of mental stimulation, the person suddenly cries and laughs, bumps his head, pulls his hair, bites his clothes, beats his chest and feet, rolls on the ground, smashes things, or hurts himself. In general, this kind of mood disorder will be more prominent when there are people watching. Usually, within 10 minutes of the outbreak, the patient's emotions and symptoms are able to resolve on their own and they are able to forget things on their own.
Hysterical amnesia refers to the forgetting of parts of the body that cause distress and sadness after being stimulated, such as emotional injury or trauma, or an experience at a certain stage. Patients may also have symptoms such as numbness, hyperesthesia, sudden blindness, loss of voice or laryngeal obstruction, unresponsiveness to other outside worlds, and sleepwalking.
Mass hysteria is a psychological or psychiatric disorder caused by the interaction of many people, which is characterized by the interaction between groups of people, usually due to the sudden onset of one person's illness and the other person not knowing the cause, followed by a fear or nervous state of mind. According to incomplete statistics, this disease is more likely to occur in remote rural areas, because the environment there is remote, people have a low level of education, feudal superstition is serious, and they believe in the existence of "ghosts and gods". At the same time, the disease is a neurological disease, there is no organic lesion, and people there lack medical knowledge, which can easily aggravate the panic of the population and promote the rapid spread of symptoms.
Ms. Bi believes that this mass hysteria incident occurred in the famous university Wuda, which is a very puzzling thing, and she suggested that we check the interests and hobbies of these students and the club activities they have participated in, so as to stop the panic spread at the source in time, so as to avoid more students from being victimized. Thirteen schools teamed up with the school to conduct a close review of the students who had been involved in the accident, and found that these people were keen to log on to the website of the ghost doll house and participated in many offline meet-and-greets organized by the site.
After learning about this new version of the website, I also logged in and browsed, and found that now they not only publish supernatural stories and videos, but also organize a lot of supernatural activities and parties, and make some online live programs to find supernatural beings, which seem to be very popular and profitable.
