Chapter 9 This is a trial
A new psychiatric clinic has recently opened in the slum for a limited number of times per day.
It's a rare thing, who would be bored to give counseling to the rats in the sewers?
The people here are desperate, either crazy or dismotivated.
"But that's how we can see the truth."
Su Ling gave Hanako, who was playing a game in the living room, a brainstorm: "Stop playing, the opening is a big reward, your receptionist has a serious attitude." ”
Hanako pouted dissatisfiedly: "No one came over anyway, and idleness is idle." ”
This small clinic is a renovation of the old library that he bought with money, and it is quite spacious, and it is no different from new after a little cleaning.
As for why he did this, because someone was already bored and growing mushrooms, he couldn't go out on a mission, and he could only accompany the weird girls to go crazy, Su Ling held on for a few days and felt that he couldn't continue to salt, so he decided to pick up his old job and open a psychological clinic.
Naturally, there is no drama in the rich area, everyone has their own psychiatrist, and the location is too expensive.
The slum is good, it doesn't cost a lot of money, and the patients you face are all, which is very challenging, so it's just a good time to hone your mouth cannon.
The most important thing is that there are no masters of the level of Julius in the slums, and it is difficult to detect the strange aura that Hanako and her people have disguised through mercury sand.
There is a detection line at the border of the reserve, but not inside.
Unfortunately, no one has come to the clinic for several days, and it seems that it is difficult to take care of mental health when there is not enough to eat.
It's okay, there are still a lot of books left in the library, and the shopkeeper has generously given them to him, after all, who wants to calm down and read books in this day and age?
If there are no guests to read, Su Ling is not in a hurry, this is just his practice before returning to hunting, he can't fall in love with his sister every day and get carried away, his head is full of yellow waste, and finally he wants to talk about a beautiful strange story, right?
For him, seeing a doctor is the best practice.
Every psychiatrist is full of self-confidence at the beginning, thinking that the doctor in the operating room can help the world and relieve the suffering, and he can also solve people's worries and rejuvenate himself.
In the end, I was at a loss in the face of those desperate cases, and then I became cautious, learned to listen silently, learned to let go, and knew that some heart diseases were terminal diseases that could not be cured.
Psychology and sociology and law are relatives, and their roots are actually the study of human nature.
Sociology studies the role and laws of human nature in society, while law explores the dark abyss.
These two are derived from real experience, but psychology is actually a study that cannot be relied on, because human mental activity is elusive even if it is God.
Beginners will deduce the patient's psychology based on the experience in the book, but soon they will go crazy, because they will find that the cases in the book cannot remember the joys and sorrows of the world, and the patient's thoughts are wildly different from their own calculations, and finally they are completely helpless and hit their self-confidence by the disappointed eyes of the patient's family.
Experienced psychologists will tell beginners to read the book, then forget about it, and communicate with the patient attentively.
This is difficult, because many psychiatrists themselves have psychological darkness and shadows, how can they illuminate the world of others?
Su Ling was too superstitious in the knowledge of books in his previous life, and he repeatedly failed in consultations, so he could only watch the patient fall into the quagmire, so that he finally fell into depression and lost his emotions and committed suicide.
In this life, he decided to practice hard and become a qualified psychiatrist.
He felt that he should be very strong psychologically after going through so much, but the first patient made him break his defense.
The dusty mother walked into the clinic with the child in her arms, one of her eyes was yellow and she looked poor, and said to Su Ling, "Doctor, please take this child." ”
Su Ling was at a loss: "No, we are not a rescue station here, ma'am, I can help you solve your problems, but I don't have the ability to take care of this child......"
He is not a saint and cannot take over their lives.
The woman left disappointed, and before leaving, Su Ling gave her a sum of money, but the despair in her eyes did not fade at all.
"......" Su Ling's face was a little ugly.
"Darling, it looks like your cultivation plan has come to naught~" The silver-haired girl put her arms around his neck from behind and blew in her ear, "There is only despair in this place, who will come to consult psychological problems, you can't save anyone, on the contrary, that kind of despair will erode your will, stop it, it's not fun at all." ”
Su Ling took a deep breath: "No, isn't this just a good way to hone my will, if it is so easy to be defeated, I don't think I have to go down the road in the future." ”
Facing the real suffering is the greatest test of the soul, Su Ling did not choose to avoid it, he wanted to use his own eyes to see the true appearance of this world.
Sometimes people's eyes can see the vast cosmic starry sky, but they can't see the current situation at the bottom of the alley.
It's a trial, a test of the heart.
Su Ling had a hunch that he would get a sublimation after this trial.
Continuing to sit in the clinic, there were very few patients who came in the past three days, and two of them left a deep impression on Su Ling.
A homeless man at the foot of the slope was still holding lice when he came.
A down-and-out guitarist with mushrooms growing on his guitar.
Strangely, instead of being lifeless like the homeless people on the street, there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
The homeless man said to Su Ling: "Hey doctor, I think this is all a dream, should we go on a trip over the mountains and seas?" How about going to the nearby Fallen Forbidden Zone? ”
Su Ling realized that he had encountered a mental illness, but he was fascinated by the other party's hopeful tone, so he replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll accompany you on a long journey when I wake up from the dream." ”
The homeless man happily walked away, stepping out of the clinic door to wander the world, when he was shot in the head by a passing wanted criminal.
The freedom of life and the randomness of death, Su Ling can only sigh like this.
Next was the guitarist, who played the broken and dilapidated guitar and laughed at Su Ling with a pair of cool sunglasses: "Doctor! The wandering music of the weird era will give you a 5% discount! ”
Su Ling gave him a wad of money and a few pieces of bread, as well as a bottle of clean drinking water.
The guitarist was stunned for a moment, then tears flowed from his eyes, and he cried and said to Su Ling: "Doctor, you really look up to me, okay, doctor, even in this apocalypse, I haven't lost my faith, come to the doctor, please listen well!" ”
The guitarist was stunned to play a heavy metal rock song with a broken guitar, and Su Ling felt his ears buzzing, so he could only send him away with a reluctant smile.
The guitarist left the clinic with his dreams, but luckily he didn't encounter a wanted murderer this time.
"Are they crazy?" The rift girl asked Su Ling with some puzzlement, looking at the back of the guitarist leaving, "It's hard for me to understand......"
"Having fun in the midst of suffering is actually no different from going crazy, but hopeful madness can at least warm up this cold world."
Su Ling looked at the ceiling and rubbed his temples: "Really, I thought my heart was firm enough......"
The practice of the past few days has given him an unprecedented shocking blow.
The truth of the bottom of the apocalypse, the deep despair.
These days are just a passer-by encounter, many patients he can't save, and in the end their fate will return to the original track.
Su Ling broke the defense several times, and finally survived, and now he only felt that his soul was invulnerable.
The clinic was open for a few more days, and the day was getting closer and closer for him to return to his freedom of movement.
There were still no patients in the middle, Su Ling was happy, so he played and slept with a few girls and read books.
Until the last day, an uninvited guest suddenly came.
It was a sloppy young man, with hair like a chicken coop and dirty all over, as if he had been caught in a black factory and starved for three days.
That's not the point, though, it's ......
When this down-and-out decrepit boy came in, he took out a gun and pointed it at Su Ling: "Don't move!" ”
Su Ling raised his hand casually: "Sir, robbing a psychiatrist is not a wise choice. ”
The decrepit boy began to load, his hands were trembling, and the words he said made Su Ling puzzled: "I don't want money, you give me your blood!" ”
Su Ling sighed: "Okay." ”
The voice fell, and the gun in the hand of the down-and-out boy disappeared.
"What do you want my blood for? You're not a vampire," Su Ling played with the toy pistol, puzzled, "just use this thing to scare people, it seems that you don't have the intention of killing, tell me, maybe it can help you." ”
"I'm not somebody!" The young man with the gun knew that the psychiatrist in front of him was not easy to mess with, and his voice trembled, but he had no intention of escaping, but gritted his teeth and carefully found one from the tattered robe......
Bat?
The decrepit boy knelt down for Su Ling on the spot: "Doctor, save Daisy!" ”
Su Ling glanced at the weakened bat and was shocked:
"Damn, you kid got a vampire as a girlfriend?"
