Chapter 55: Stockholm Syndrome
Yi Xi's remarks are not very demagogic, nor are they very advanced conversation skills, but there is the most real thing in them, that is, the common language.
Normally, Ao Shun would not have the leisure to listen to other people's stories, but on this occasion, in this environment, she instead raised a trace of interest, in a sense, this is a psychological disease. A branch of Stockholm syndrome', Yi Xi, who is in an absolutely strong position, can do whatever he wants with Ao Shun in this state, but he chose to give up, and also said that he had the same experience, such a no reason to retreat, and at the same time have a common language, plus this closed environment, will make the weak party have a certain unreasonable favor for the strong side.
Many years ago, in the city of Stockholm, there was a group of hostages who were taken hostage, under similar conditions as the above, because of the small favors of the hijackers and the sympathy between the conversations, and finally got the help of the abductees, so that the police could not control the robbers, and naturally this case was named Stockholm syndrome, and was talked about by countless psychologists, media, and even fiction writers.
In fact, psychologists believe that this kind of emotion occurs in human beings, completely out of the instinct of survival, and people's subconscious believes that doing so can make people who are on the active side, such as Yi Xi, no longer harm themselves, which is also a manifestation of self-protection.
In the face of human instinct, Ao Shun, who has lost all her minions, has no ability to compete at all, and even said that she doesn't think that she has entered this state at this moment, so she wrapped the animal skin tightly on her body, and Ao Shun asked cautiously, "You came out?" Although the voice is still hoarse, but with endless curiosity, at this moment Yi Xi knows, by mistake, she seems to have really opened the heart of this black iceberg, at least her words have a trace of emotion, this is already a very remarkable progress, of course, it is not only Yi Xi who has such an idea, but also Matilda who is hiding in Pixiu and eavesdropping, and also secretly gave his great-grandson a thumbs up, don't look at the usual don't know how to speak, but at the critical moment, he can hit the heart with one arrow!
"I hope," Yi Xi still wanted to shrug his shoulders, but he didn't forget the pain before, so he could only give up, "If it is, I don't have to drink blood and not eat meat every day, you should know whether it's mutants, or people who practice ancient martial arts, if they don't eat protein, they will die, including the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple, they can also eat red." ”
"Why can't you eat meat, but drink blood?" After asking this question, Ao Shun suddenly put her foot under the hide, because she found that she had definitely asked a super stupid question, and if someone asked her such a question, she would definitely not say it.
"Why don't we make another deal," Suddenly, Yi Xi seemed to be interested, because he found that sometimes when chatting with people who have a common language, you will put yourself in a very equal position, and there will be no excuse to say to others, you are not me, you have not experienced this, why do you dare to say this, such strange and irrefutable words.
In fact, he has always wanted to get rid of that nightmare, at this moment, maybe it is a good opportunity to open his heart, re-recall, and face it bravely, Yi Xi thought so, although he didn't know what the result would be, "We tell that story to each other, everyone is fair, try to face it once, twice, didn't Zhou Xingxing say it, people, spit and spit are used to it, I think, maybe we don't dare to recall, dare not face, maybe it's just because we have few memories, what do you think?" ”
-----------------
"Since then," Yi Xi took a slow breath, obviously, recalling that past would never make him very happy, and he was able to say it so generously, there was only one reason, Ao Shun, who was affected by the 'Stockholm syndrome', agreed to Yi Xi's second deal, and Yi Xi said generously first, "As long as I see meat and eat it in my mouth, I will have cramps and nausea all over my body, and I will forcibly eat it, and I will even faint to death, fortunately, my grandmother found out that I do not refuse to drink blood, However, she said that this reaction of mine seems to have been integrated into the bone marrow, and one day in the future I can see everything, and my body will still be 'allergic' to meat, and I may not be able to eat meat in my life. ”
"That's a pity," Ao Shun blinked, "But, in a sense, I'm the same," Anyway, Ao Shun told her about the experience when she was a child, just as Matilda guessed, she woke up in a small mountain village, people treated her as a monster, the scars on her body, the hoarseness of her voice were all because of that experience, she didn't embark on the path of anti-humanity, largely because of Long Aotian, "Even if one day I can really come out, The scars on my body also kept me from seeing the sun. ”
"Can't mutants heal themselves? Dragons have such advanced technology."
"I missed the best time for treatment," Ao Shun sighed, with a hint of self-deprecation in his eyes, "When I can, I am extremely reluctant to show my appearance outside the patriarch, when I grow up, my body has already been highly integrated, especially the characteristics of my ability, so that I have no way to lose these precious, but disgusting-looking skin, once that happens, I will lose most of my strength, which is unacceptable, without a beautiful appearance, I can still hide in the dark, and without my strength, I'm nothing. ”
"Can I see you?"
Ao Shun shook his head, "It's a pity, although I told you this, it doesn't mean that I have come out, just like you still can't eat meat, and I can't let anyone other than the patriarch see my appearance, at least for now." ”
"But the bet you promised me earlier"
"Relying on your own strength, that's impossible," Ao Shun said categorically, "If Matilda's seniors help me, I can see it." ”
"Ha," Suddenly, Yi Xi smiled, and the dullness that appeared in the air because of the two of them comparing each other dissipated a lot because of this laughter, "Didn't you think about what if?" ”
"There is no overnight success in the world of mutants, this is the law that has always been the law, within the entire world of the world, there are records of the weak defeating the strong, all within a certain limit, to put it mildly, a rookie like you is like a contest between ants and elephants."
"What if, I mean?" Yi Xi didn't seem to be angry at all about Ao Shun's categorical cuts, "Gambling, it's always fun to have to lose and win, if I win, will you take off your mask and the layer of animal skin on your body to let me see what you really look like?" ”
"Yes," Ban Yan nodded his head, "Although that's useless, why do you want to see me so much?" ”
"I don't want to see it," Yi Xi slowly raised his left arm, "After moving a few times, you helped me and my grandmother in the most difficult time, although this was ordered by Yelu Ao's second grandfather, I am still very grateful to you, so I will use that gambling contract as an excuse, hoping to get closer to our relationship, it would be best if we could become friends, but I didn't expect that there are so many articles here, so I was already planning to give up, because now I think we are friends, It's just that you just said, although I won't be angry because of this, but as a man, no one wants to be underestimated by a beautiful lady, so this bet must be made. ”
"Hmm" Ao Shun tilted her head slightly, which made her feel a lot more comfortable, "To be honest. ”
"I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I don't look at it."
“”
"It's a good hand to get away with it!" Matilda, who was hidden in Pixiu, once again stretched out a thumbs up for his great-great-grandson, because there was a lot of article in what Yi Xi said, if he changed the previous reason, it would make Ao Shun have a feeling that this man has a good impression of me, and he wants to pursue me, which will definitely arouse the resistance instinct of women, not to mention Ao Shun, who is extremely sensitive.
It's as if a man said to a woman, "Miss, your shoes are beautiful, where did you buy them?" By the way, can we be friends? In this case, the woman will definitely think that the man's intention is not in the shoes but on her, which will inevitably trigger the woman's natural cautious instinct.
On the other hand, if a man says Miss, you are beautiful, can we be friends? By the way, I would like to ask where you bought your shoes, so that women will think that the man's goal is shoes, not her, and naturally there will be no instinct to resist.
This truth is put in Yi Xi's words, there is no problem, so at this moment Matilda even wants to jump out and praise Yi Xi well, but she can't appear directly now, because the excuse she thought of eavesdropping before was that she wasted some of her energy in order to heal Yi Xi and Ao Shun and returned to Pixiu to rest, so she could only continue to be 'forced' to eavesdrop
