Chapter 132. Case 18: Mentally ill

Of course, we are here to analyze things, otherwise we would have come here for no reason. So I straightened my trouser legs and sat up a little straighter. After all, in such a place, it is a little high-level for people like me and Hu Zongren. Dr. Ann said, before the two of you came, I used to know a little bit about your industry, both of you are people of faith, I admire this very much, and I myself is the same, maybe it is the difference in doctrine, we may look at the problem from the perspective of the two of you are also a little surprised, plus my own professional relationship, anything that has appeared is regarded as justified by me, so I take the liberty to invite the two of you to come, on the one hand, to help me solve this matter, on the other hand, It's also a new way of thinking about my career.

I don't understand what Dr. Ann said. Hu Zongren asked him, you also have faith, you are a doctor, what do you believe? Dr. Ann smiled elegantly, and then took out a silver chain from the collar of his clothes, and at the bottom of the chain was a crucifixion.

Catholic, I was distinguished from that cross. For if there is a crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross, then it is Catholic. Because I have been in metaphysics for more than ten years, I have made many friends from various sects over the years, and most of them I know except for some extremely small people or whose doctrines are contrary to my ideas. It's the same with Catholicism, I have some acquaintances in several churches in Chongqing, but even so, I don't know much about this religion, and I often confuse Catholicism with Christianity, and I still don't understand it very well. One year, together with a Catholic gentleman, I went to Nanchuan to subdue the ghost of a foreign missionary who had been in the church for many years. So when I can't do it myself, I often ask someone who can do it. Catholicism is a little different from our culture, so my tricks often don't work for the ghosts of this sect. If Hu Zongren and I are ghost hunters, then Catholicism calls them "exorcists".

This is a very interesting phenomenon, many years ago when I was studying art with my master, I once asked him such a question, I said, do there are ghosts in foreign countries? The master said that where there is life, there will be death. Where there is a group, there will be all kinds of complex social relationships, and these relationships can easily cause some obsessions that cannot be solved in life, so no matter where they are, as long as there is life and death, there will be ghosts. I asked the master again, "Is our trick useful against foreign ghosts?" The master said that it is useful, but we usually don't do it, because when the language and cultural background are not the same, the two sides are actually unable to communicate, so if we use our moves to deal with foreign ghosts, generally speaking, we can only come hard, that is, omit the communication step, and directly kill the killer, so under normal circumstances, we will not do this.

The name "Exorcist" was told to me by my master at that time, and that was the first time I knew the name. The master told me that even if the cultural background and religious teachings are different, the state of people before and after death is actually completely the same, but there are different interpretations in different places. For example, Jesus Christ, who is believed in Catholicism and Christianity, is actually comparable to Shakyamuni in the world of Buddhists, and the Yellow Emperor of Taoism is the same reason, and these people who are called gods are real in history. For example, Satan, the villain of Catholicism, is actually the same as the Rakshasa ghost king in our culture, and the demons in Catholicism, in our opinion, are actually ghosts with a role, such as judges, such as bulls and horses, such as black and white impermanence. In addition, the ghosts in Catholicism are actually the most common kind, that is, the ghosts with which we deal with the most. The master also smiled and told me, how different are those vampires and shape-changing monsters in Western culture from those cultivated monsters in our culture?

The master also told me that, in fact, to put it bluntly, in various teachings, there are nothing more than three forms, one is a living person, one is a dead person, and the other is a person who has become an immortal. In fact, the master's words have been repeatedly confirmed by me in the next ten years, among which there are the most examples between our country and Japan, such as our Seido and Japan's Zashiki Tongzi, our water ghost and Japan's kappa, and our mandrill and Japan's Shantong, in fact, they are only portrayed in different ways, but the essence is almost the same.

I also asked the master at the time, saying that our magic weapons are also effective against foreign ghosts? The master shook his head and said that he had never had a chance to try it, but it was still related to the religion or cultural environment in which the ghost lived before his death, but it was not difficult to see that many of the methods were mostly the same, for example, those exorcists often recited scriptures, and we happened to be too, but it was just a mantra. The water soaked in the cross by Catholicism is called holy water, which is said to have a burning effect on demons, and in our culture, the rootless water that our witch family collects and makes offerings every day, and the great compassion water that Buddhism has preached the mantra of great compassion, in fact, the effect is exactly the same as that holy water?

The master didn't read much, so it was much easier for me to understand his words, which I hadn't read much, and the master was always like this, using the methods I was most familiar with to understand some truths that I couldn't understand.

Seeing that I was thoughtful, Dr. Ann slowly removed the cross from my neck and rubbed it in his hand. He said to us, I wonder what the two of them have to say about people who claim to be able to see ghosts. Hu Zongren said without thinking, Yin and Yang eyes, what is the good insight about this, some are because they are born with a special physique, and some people are because they have opened their eyes because they have been taught by teachers, but most of those who are born with Yin and Yang eyes are relatively weak. Dr. An nodded and said, "I invited you here this time, just because of a patient who claimed to be able to see ghosts, I originally regarded him as a very ordinary case of paranoia, who knew that in the process of my treatment for him, not only did I fail to cure him, but I also encountered some strange things one after another.

Dr. An said that the patient was admitted to him half a year ago, because mental illness often takes a long time to treat, and he needs to be repeatedly guided and comforted from the side. I nodded and thought to myself that although this job paid very well, it was indeed not something that ordinary people could do, for example, I was afraid that if I sat down in his chair for less than an hour, I would lose my patience. Dr. An went on to say that at first this patient was sent by his wife, and before I communicated with this patient, I actually got to know his wife first, so that I could communicate with the patient faster and without barriers. And his wife told me that this patient began to become in a trance a few weeks before he was sent to me, as if he didn't care about many things around him, he couldn't even clean the soy sauce bottle at home, and he was more irritable, he was originally a good young man with a good temper, and suddenly his temperament changed greatly, and the most outrageous thing was that his accent changed greatly, although it was not a nonsense muttering that he couldn't understand, but an authentic Chongqing person, but from time to time began to speak some foreign dialect. Dr. Ann said, I asked his wife at the time, did she ever stay in a foreign country and learn those words? His wife said that she had also inquired with his family about this matter, only to find out that he had never been to a foreign place in his life, so it was impossible.

When Dr. An said this, Hu Zongren interrupted him very proudly and said, what's so difficult about this, isn't this just a simple ghost? Dr. An was still smiling elegantly, he and Hu Zongren were sitting in front of me at the same time, it was simply the difference between an angel and a demon. Dr. An went on to say, "As a medical worker, especially when I am a psychologist, of course I don't prioritize this possibility, and the situation that Mr. Hu is talking about, in my opinion, is called possession. In Catholicism, it is believed that the ultimate purpose of any ghost that appears in the human world is to possess oneself, and once possessed, one can only find an exorcist.

Hu Zongren actually laughed ha I coughed violently twice, and reminded Hu Zongren with my eyes that it was very rude to do so. Dr. Ann still smiled faintly and said, "Anyway, I didn't think about it in this direction at the time.

Dr. Ann continued, but his wife told me that this was just the initial phenomenon and that his condition was starting to feel a little dangerous. He began to have frequent inexplicable convulsions, followed by nonsense, and sometimes a fever and coma. Whenever I wake up from a coma, sometimes I will return to my previous indifference to the things around me, but sometimes I will become my husband's original appearance. Dr. Ann said that whenever he became that indifferent, he seemed to have no memory of the fact that he had been in a coma and convulsions, but when he became his husband himself, he would tell her in a panic that he had a hell of a man in black who had been following him, no matter how he ran away.

Dr. Ann said that by the time she brought her husband to me, his husband's condition had become very serious, at least I thought it was. Because when I understood the basics, I tried to communicate with the patient, and he looked more like a stimulated person, although some of the words were incredible, but they were not the kind of words that were illogical, and this was the point that I couldn't understand the most.

I asked Dr. Ann what exactly he said to make you feel this way. Dr. An frowned for the first time after we met him, and he said that when we met for the first time, he directly used that kind of very cringe, and he didn't even dare to look at me, pointing to the clothes I was wearing and saying, you have two thousand three in cash in your pocket, a lot of money, your wife is so beautiful, hehe... Hey...

Listening to Dr. Ann's expressionless imitation of that laughter made me uncomfortable.
