It was dark and the lights in Dr. Yip's office were still on. She typed the following text into the computer:

Patient Xu Xiaojiao, her condition is very peculiar, she shows symptoms of personality recognition disorder, and fantasizes that she has another identity, called Zeng Mengshu. I tried to call her by the name "Xu Xiaojiao", but she was very dismissive and seemed to be very repulsive by her original name.

Maybe in her heart, Zeng Mengshu is powerful, and Xu Xiaojiao is just an ordinary person.

Zeng Mengshu's world is very exciting, he has fallen in love, fought and killed people, and his current identity is confidential. I guess in her fantasies, Zeng Mengshu is a secret policeman, or a spy.

For Xu Xiaojiao's treatment, I used aversion therapy, first destroying her fantasy world, and then allowing her to re-enter the real world.

Xu Xiaojiao's fantasy world is very rigorous: her ex-boyfriend is a thug (already dead, dead at the hands of an immortal cultivator), and her current boyfriend is also a secret police officer or something, named Wen Xiaoyu. Of course, the identity of the secret police cannot be found through the household registration data, "because of the Secrecy Regulations," she told me.

She had always believed that she could use a spell called the Paper Man that could summon infernal creatures. It was a breakthrough for me to destroy her fantasy world, and I gave her a piece of paper to perform the paper figurines.

She tore the paper into a human shape very quickly - you could tell she had learned to cut paper. Then he recited a mantra while his hands made several complex movements.

The humanoid piece of paper fell to the ground, and of course no ghosts appeared.

It can be seen that she was very shocked and repeatedly asked to try again.

In order to make her realize that the art of paper figurines was just her fantasy, I gave her a notebook and told her that no matter how many times she tried, the result would be the same. No one can summon infernal creatures because inherence itself does not exist.

For the next two days, she repeated her spells over and over again, gesticulating, trying to summon the creatures of hell, all of which failed.

I checked the mantra she used, it was a Taoist nine-character mantra, and her strange gestures were indeed Taoist handprints. This shows that the structure of her fantasy world is rigorous, and it is very rare.

The failure of the paper figurines made her doubt her fantasy world.

The truth is very cruel to anyone. She instinctively rejects the truth and falls into a distressing state of self-isolation. For days, she held her knees motionless, refusing any form of communication.

I can relate to how sad she is. There was even a time when I myself suspected that I was doing something wrong and wanted to give up on her treatment. In fact, many mentally ill patients are very happy in their own fantasy world, such as the patient in the hospital who imagined that she had given birth to a child, she had never been in a relationship or given birth to a child, but every morning she would happily tell the doctor: "I gave birth to a baby yesterday, how good-looking he is!" ”

She was cured and had to face her lonely life.

I'm not sure that's correct.

But after thinking about it carefully, I think Xu Xiaojiao's situation is different, she is very young, very smart, and she is also good-looking. When she recovers, she should be able to have a very happy life - of course, compared to her fantasy world, such a life is too ordinary.

I believe that she will not be a secret police officer or a spy, but will only get married and have children, and spend her life in peace.

In her fantasy world, she has a master named Munchru. Moncru was a real man, and he was famous, because his mental illness was even more peculiar - contagious psychosis, and many of the people who came into contact with him went crazy. I boldly guess that Meng Capture is the root of Xu Xiaojiao's disease.

After the hospital's efforts, we finally found Moncru and arranged for them to meet.

Perhaps in most people's minds, the meeting between the two psychopaths was a lot of fun, but the situation in which the two met was very weird, and now I'm pretty sure that it was a mistake to schedule this meeting.

Zeng Mengshu was wearing a hospital gown provided by the hospital, and the red words "Zemadi Mental Hospital" were embroidered on her back, and when she saw Meng Kelu, who was also wearing a hospital gown, her expression was very surprised, but she stood up respectfully and shouted, "Master." ”

Moncru was covered with heavy hair, like a gorilla, but his attitude was very arrogant, and he just said softly: "Hmm." ”

The two sat down opposite each other - because Zeng Mengshu was violent, there was a layer of bulletproof glass between the two, and there was only a small hole for their voices to pass through.

"Master, I obviously remember that I am dead, but you see-" Xu Xiaojiao stood up and turned around, indicating that she was still alive (I forgot to mention earlier that in her fantasy world, she lost the battle with criminals and had been bitten to death by a golden dragon).

Meng Crane was not surprised at all, and told Xu Xiaojiao: "I know, I cured you." ”

Xu Xiaojiao was even more shocked and said, "You? ”

"Don't forget, I'm a disciple of Zhou Yan. ”

Xu Xiaojiao was immediately relieved, as if the person named Zhou Yan was their belief and could do anything.

Xu Xiaojiao sat down again and asked, "Master, why are you also—this?" ”

Meng Kryu told her: "I'm hiding from Zhou Yan, hmph, no matter how smart he is, he can't guess that I will hide in a mental hospital." ”

Xu Xiaojiao understood again, didn't speak for a while, and then she said: "If you don't dare to face him, you won't have a chance to defeat him." ”

Montcru sighed and said, "Do you think I haven't tried? For more than 2,000 years, I have fought him countless times, and not a single one has succeeded. The most recent time we were in Siberia, there was an avalanche in the area, and it turned out to be ......," he smiled self-deprecatingly, indicating that he was not as good as others.

Xu Xiaojiao didn't persuade the master again, she asked the question she was most concerned about: "Why did my paper figure technique suddenly fail?" Obviously the mantra mudra is correct, huh? ”

Meng Kryu told Xu Xiaojiao, "Here-" he pointed to his head, "You have become what you are today, I am not sure if it was correct to teach you the art of paper figurine, so I let people do something in your subconscious." You lost your abilities and entered a mental hospital, all of which I arranged for you. If you don't have special abilities, you're probably married and have a happy family – little girls probably think that's happiness. But what about you, fighting and killing all day long, living on the edge of danger, all because of your abilities! ”

Xu Xiaojiao shouted angrily: "If I have an ability, can I choose not to use it?" Please, will you teach me how to regain my abilities? ”

Meng Cager thought for a long time, Zeng Mengshu kept pleading, and finally he said: "What you have to do is to reconstruct every detail of hell in your brain, starting from the first step - hell is built on a flower." ”

For this inexplicable sentence, Xu Xiaojiao suddenly understood, and shouted very happily: "Manzhu Shahua! ”

I checked the information, Manju Sawa is a magical plant, also called the other side flower, which is said to be a flower that blooms on the road to the Yellow Spring on earth.

The result of this meeting was very disappointing, and Xu Xiaojiao's fantasy world became even more indestructible. Although she became very active and meditated all day except for eating and sleeping, I understand that her psychosis has become more stubborn.

Despite this, I still think that Xu Xiaojiao is a very promising patient, with a clear mind and a clear distinction between fantasy and reality. I'm not going to give up on her, and next, I'm going to take a medication approach. Although most of the drugs used to treat mental illness have some damage to the brain, her IQ has decreased a lot after being cured, and it is even less than that of ordinary people. But most people don't use any brains in their lives, and I believe she will have a happy life.

Of course, compared to her fantasy world, such a life will definitely be much ordinary, and she can't be a secret policeman, at most, she will be a child's mother.

After typing the words on the computer, Dr. Yip stared at the glowing screen for a moment. Because a face appeared on the computer screen, although Dr. Ye recognized her as Xu Xiaojiao, judging from those burning eyes, it was more appropriate to call her Zeng Mengshu.

"You ......" Dr. Ye sat nervously and turned around, the chair was equipped with pulleys and could rotate freely.

Now, Dr. Ye regrets that he saw Xu Xiaojiao be quiet and regain her freedom of movement.

Zeng Mengshu, who was standing, was much taller than Dr. Ye, and she wrung her hands and said embarrassedly, "Actually, I'm here to say goodbye." ”

Dr. Ye raised his voice and shouted, "You want to be discharged?" Who allows it? ”

Zeng Mengshu couldn't help but be embarrassed, and didn't know whether to tell the kind doctor in front of him that he was actually not sick at all.

"I agree!" A voice sounded from the ceiling overhead, and Dr. Ye looked up, only to be almost fainted with fright, and Munchlug's furry face was floating on the ceiling, his eyes dripping to look at Dr. Ye.

"Go back, go back," Zeng Mengshu shouted, "She's a good person, you are not allowed to scare her!" ”

Moncru's face rolled his eyes, "When is it your turn to teach me a lesson?" ”

Zeng Mengshu was also not easy to do with his master, and patiently explained: "In some tribes in Africa, it is incredible to hear that some people can eat enough every day; In the original South America, the slaves couldn't even imagine what they would do if they weren't slaves. The truth is cruel to anyone, she simply can't accept a world full of supernatural abilities, and if you are like this, she will go crazy. ”

Munchlu slowly disappeared from the ceiling, like a man pulling his face out of the water, the ceiling still as smooth as new, not even a trace of it.

Dr. Ye was indeed frightened, she stared at the ceiling motionless with her eyes covering her heart.

Zeng Mengshu knows that the real world imagined by Dr. Ye is the same as most people, only ordinary people. She told Dr. Ye, "You are too tired from work, it seems that you have visual and auditory hallucinations, you must take care of yourself!" ”

Doctor Ye suddenly grabbed her hand, looked nervously at the ceiling and asked, "...... I saw just now?"

"That's a hallucination," Zeng Mengshu said with certainty, "it's an illusion." ”

"Oh!" Dr. Ye was relieved, "I'm sorry, just now you said you were leaving here?" ”

Zeng Mengshu said: "Actually, it's not leaving, it's just a transfer." She finally came up with an excuse not to hurt Dr. Ye, "Because of the family's financial problems, I only know so much. ”

Dr. Ye was a little disappointed and said, "Since that's the case, you can go!" ”

After Zeng Mengshu's footsteps walked away, Dr. Ye took off his high heels and quietly followed barefoot.

The last time she saw Zeng Mengshu was on the roof of the Mamati Mental Hospital. There, Zeng Mengshu had already put on a pink down jacket and said goodbye to her master, Meng Kelu, before she stepped on a butterfly made of red paper-cut and flew into the night sky.

Dr. Ye now finally understands that Zeng Mengshu is not sick, and he is the one who is sick. The obstacle to understanding the real world actually exists in most people's minds. Not many people know how amazing this world really is.
