Chapter III: Mental Illness
At Dawn People's Hospital on Sunday morning, the sun shone on the white hospital bed, and doctors in white protective suits walked around the room.
Liu Luofeng slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window, just about to get up, a pain sounded in his brain. He frowned, got up and leaned on the pillow, Liu Luofeng looked around at the two nurses and the three beds, two men and one woman lying on them, the nurses were taking care of them carefully, tidying up the hanging bottles on the bedside. At this time, a female nurse walked over.
"Sir, you're awake. Remember that it is still not convenient for you to move now, and take more rest. The female nurse took the paper from the table next to her and walked out the door.
Liu Luofeng now thinks back to the previous incident, and his headache is becoming more and more intense. He lay down on his side and asked the man across from him by the way.
"Man, do you know how long I've been here?" Liu Luofeng said.
"You're supposed to be a cop, right? A few weeks ago I saw you being carried in, and there was a police uniform wearing the same uniform as you who was taking care of you. After that you have been wearing a bandage on your head, you must have had a problem with your head, and you have woken up a few times in between. The man said as he sat and ate an orange.
"Oh, thank you."
Liu Luofeng doesn't remember waking up a few times, and his memory is a little confused.
Liu Luofeng remembered that he carried out an anti-drug mission last week, and he seemed to be knocked unconscious by a grenade in the factory, and he didn't know what happened after that. He lifted the quilt and looked at the tube still inserted below, and he himself was a little surprised that he had been lying down for half a month!
At this time, a man in a jacket came in by the door and walked straight to Liu Luofeng's bed. The man's name is Li Xiao, he met Liu Luofeng when he was in the police station, and the two have a good relationship, Li Xiao is five years younger than Liu Luofeng, and he is called Liu Luofeng Awei when he is in the police station or on duty, and he is called Luozi (mule) at other times.
"I went out to buy you lunch just now, and I happened to bump into the nurse, and she told me that you were awake. What do you think? Are you feeling better now? Li Xiao sat on the edge of Liu Luofeng's bed and opened the lunch box, which was filled with hot buns.
"It's better, it's just a little dizzy. They said I slept for three days, and you were taking care of me all the time? Liu Luofeng took the meat bun and ate it.
"yes, didn't you see that I inserted the tubes myself? None of the doctors moved. The superiors approved me to let me come and watch you, you don't have to worry, those drug dealers have long been cleaned up. Li Xiao said.
"Ah, uh...... Thank you so much. By the way, you didn't tell my wife about this, did you? Liu Luofeng said a little embarrassed.
"No, not at all, and your child doesn't know. By the way, there's something I don't know if I should tell you. Li Xiao said a little sluggishly.
"What's the matter? Is it about me? Liu Luofeng said.
"Hmm." Li Xiao nodded, his face a little gloomy.
"What's the matter? Am I expelled? Or is it maternity leave? ”
"No, neither. I think you'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and go upstairs to have a look. ”
Li Xiao didn't tell Liu Luofeng the truth, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept some things.
Liu Luofeng was a little puzzled, what did he have to hide, Liu Luofeng didn't care about other things, he finished lunch and lay down to continue to rest.
At about half past seven the next morning, accompanied by Li Xiao, he completed the formalities. Liu Luofeng was still a little uncomfortable when he got out of bed, just like a space astronaut who had just returned to the ground from space, Liu Luofeng felt that his line of sight was a little far from the ground.
Liu Luofeng followed Li Xiao to the fourth floor by elevator, the elevator door opened, and Liu Luofeng saw a green sign hanging on the top of the brain department, Liu Luofeng followed Li Xiao to turn left and came to a consultation office.
"What are you doing here? Do you really think my head is blown up? Liu Luofeng asked.
"You go in first and ask about the situation, I'll wait for you outside." Li Xiao sat down under the outer bench.
Alas, Liu Luofeng was very helpless. At this time, it came to his mind that he had a terminal illness that might not be cured, but in the end, Liu Luofeng accepted the reality and pushed open the door and walked in.
There are large bookshelves in the office, on which are placed many kinds of books, including those from other countries, there are also models of human internal organs next to the window, and a globe is placed on the desk, the globe seems to be still slowly turning, as if someone has moved before Liu Luofeng came in, Liu Luofeng can clearly see the routes of various countries, as well as the names of some islands such as the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The sound of the ballpoint pen pressing sounded in Liu Luofeng's ears, and on the desk were Liu Luofeng's files and some X-rays of his brain. Sitting on the desk was a middle-aged man with a card pinned to his chest, and Liu Luofeng could clearly see that it read: Professor Chen, Chen**
"Sit down, Mr. Liu."
The voice came into Liu Luofeng's ears, Liu Luofeng came back to his senses, everything became normal, Liu Luofeng found that he had sat down, and now he was quite confused.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Professor Chen, and I'm a counselor. Any idea why you came to this place? Professor Chan put his hands together on the table.
"I know, my friend said I had something wrong with my brain, and I think I must have some terminal illness, such as a brain tumor." Liu Luofeng said soberly.
"Nope! Your brain is healthy and there are no bad symptoms, just something special. Professor Chan vetoed.
"So, what's going on?" Liu Luofeng was both surprised and puzzled.
The surprise was because Liu Luofeng knew that his life was still sound and he didn't have any terminal illness, and what he was puzzled about was the infinite unknown that existed in the brain, and he felt that it must be Li Xiao who told the doctor about himself.
"Did you notice anything strange about you from the time you first walked through the door? Or is it a more sensitive feeling? Professor Chen asked.
When Liu Luofeng heard Professor Chen's words, goosebumps broke out instantly, Liu Luofeng felt very strange, his consciousness seemed to be completely deprived, and his brain was like a videotape and an eight-fold mirror, from the moment he entered the door, although he was in the room, his soul was wandering around. His eyes became extremely sharp, his brain became extremely clear, so that he could see through everything, he knew that he used to have nightmares a lot, and sometimes he often had similar situations, Liu Luofeng thought that it was a hallucination caused by lack of sleep, but that sense of reality made him a little scared. Every time I wake up from a nightmare, my memory is emptied, and sometimes when I walk on the road and I am still awake, it feels like a dream.
I remember one time, the upstairs of the police station ordered a cardboard box and almost hit the staff, but Liu Luofeng caught the cardboard box next to him, and the staff avoided injury. The moment Liu Luofeng fell from the carton, time seemed to slow down, and he could even see the movement trajectory of the carton box falling.
Liu Luofeng hated rainy days, and he had to spend a noisy night in his bedroom. Liu Luofeng covered the quilt with a pillow, but he could still clearly hear the sound of raindrops falling, he looked at the rain outside the window, Liu Luofeng seemed to be able to see the direction of the raindrops as if time was paused. The time of watching was getting longer and longer, Liu Luofeng's eyes slowly closed, and the lens stretched like the speed of light, until the next morning when the sun was shining and Liu Luofeng got up, he comforted himself that maybe it was just a long dream.
Once, when the special training team held a meeting, Liu Luofeng stood up directly and rushed to say the work goal of the plan, and the chalk was quickly written on the small blackboard, and the brothers in the group were a little surprised......
"What the hell am I doing, what's wrong?" Liu Luofeng's eyes were blank, and he knew that what Professor Chen said was in line with his own personal experience.
"Do you know what hypermemory is?" Professor Chan put on his glasses.
"What super-sickness? Is it similar to a dual personality? Liu Luofeng wondered.
"No, this is a rare symptom similar to hyperamnesia, but it is more mild, it is similar to the type of hyperamnesia."
"So what is hypermemory?" Liu Luofeng wondered.
"Hyperamnesia, also known as highly developed autobiographical memory, is an extremely rare medical anomaly, belonging to the branch of no-choice memory, the main feature is that the brain has an automatic memory system, which can use the left frontal lobe to process language and the posterior cephalic area behind the brain that stores picture memories to store long-term memory, and often occurs subconsciously. However, patients often have painful memories in their own memories, and according to Li Xiao's account, you often have dreams, sweet dreams or nightmares, and that sense of reality surrounds you. This symptom of yours is so rare than hyperamnesia that I would even like to name it. Professor Chen explained.
"So, will there be any sequelae of this disease? Or does it cause me discomfort? Liu Luofeng was a little nervous.
"I'm not sure about that. Pay attention to yourself later. Although there are pros and cons to this symptom, don't be afraid that it won't affect your life, go out to see the scenery of nature, or go out fishing to relax, you should be very tired as a police officer. Well, what can come to me. Professor Chen got up and left his card and came behind Liu Luofeng.
"By the way, I have some special medicine here that can relieve your mental pressure, as long as 998 ......" Professor Chen dragged Liu Luofeng's shoulder.
Liu Luofeng was a little nervous just now, and was immediately speechless by Professor Chen's words, Liu Luofeng got up and walked out.
"Well, my medicine is very effective." Professor Chen took out a box of medicine and said to Liu Luofeng's back.
Liu Luofeng glanced back, then turned around and said You keep it for yourself, you should need it very much, Liu Luofeng opened the door and walked out, leaving Professor Chen with a sigh.
