Hu Bin opened the laptop, and the computer-generated photo was displayed on the screen connected to it. The "man who everyone dreams of" has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks kind-hearted.
"According to Jung's psychoanalytic theory," Hubin began, "the man is interpreted as a typical figure, hidden in the collective subconscious of the human being. Under certain circumstances, this figure is activated. For example, a work of art can activate a certain part of the human collective subconscious, so that we can feel, see or hear the image of the deep root of human beings, and reflect it in our dreams.”
Chu Yu understood in seconds: "You mean that some faces are symbolic and can arouse the reactions of most people in the group. For example, this man's face appears in the dreams of many mentally ill patients."
"Yes," Hu Bin nodded, "Inspired by this, we made this speculation. After two weeks of hospital examination and research, we were unable to find out the abnormality of patient 710. Maybe she could make other patients insane, Out of control, not because of physical factors that can be checked, but because of some abstract, subconscious reason.”
After Chu Yu listened, he raised his mouth and smiled, nodded, leaned back on the sofa chair, and seemed to agree or disagree.
"So we suspect that the face of patient 710 has some kind of symbolic meaning, which can generate a stimulus response in the brain of a mental patient, causing abnormal postsynaptic potentials in the apical dendrites of pyramidal cells, leading to confusion."
Chu Yu pointed to the photo on the screen, "This is a public face, so it can be explained by the collective subconscious, or it can be a psychological suggestion, maybe many people have not seen this man in their dreams, but they just heard about it by chance. This incident, I saw the picture of this face again, and then I dreamed of him. But patient 710... Do you think her face has any publicity?"
"I have to admit that she is very delicate and is the patient who impressed me the most. Her facial features are combined and pleasing to the eye, but maybe it constitutes some kind of suggestion, which stimulates the mentally ill."
"But after I came, it was calm. How do you explain this?"
Hubin clicked the mouse, and the picture on the screen jumped to the next one. It was a surveillance screenshot, the picture was clear, Chu Yu and Xia Yihan stood together, the two beautiful faces were in the same frame, which looked harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
"Maybe it was your presence that balanced the visual impact of patient 710's face, because you always appeared in pairs, so when other patients saw her, they saw you at the same time. In half a month, I have adapted to her face, so I no longer have abnormal reactions."
Chu Yu pouted the corners of his mouth, and stopped for a moment. It sounds like Xia Yihan is too beautiful to make other patients crazy? Then she appeared, fighting poison with poison and balancing Xia Yihan's beauty.
Originally, the mental hospital went crazy, which sounds nonsense enough. With such an explanation, Chu Yu felt that her three views based on "atheism" were shaken. She has always upheld a scientific attitude, although she also believed that many things could not be explained scientifically. , but to convince her, there must be sufficient evidence to make her irrefutable.
Now the explanation given by Hu Bin is obviously not up to the standard.
"I'm sorry, Dean Hu, I don't accept this statement." Chu Yu shook his head with a smile, having his own guesses in his heart.
Hu Bin scratched his head, and for half a month, the hair strands that were few in number fell down, and made a concerted effort to issue a pressure warning to him. But there was nothing he could do. Xia Yihan didn't understand his condition. He couldn't sleep well. He discussed research with other doctors day and night. They read domestic and foreign case data and looked for precedents.
The hospital first suspected that Xia Yihan whispered to other mentally ill patients and said irritating words, but later it was proved that she didn't say anything. Before Chu Yu came, it was hard to tell, not even a punctuation mark.
Later, it was speculated that Xia Yihan hinted at other people with her eyes, such as staring at each other, which made them feel fearful, but the surveillance showed that she always avoided eye contact with others. look.
In the end, the doctors did not give up, and boldly suspected that Xia Yihan would secrete some substance and emit an odor. After the mental patient smelled it, there would be a physiological reaction. However, the whole body examination report told the angels in white that they thought too much.
Now, I finally came up with a plausible guess, but it was rejected by Chu Yu before it could bear fruit.
Hubin felt that his surviving hair was at risk once again.
"I'm not saying that your guess is illogical. If I hadn't been in contact with the 710 patient, I might agree with your guess." Seeing the expression on President Hu's face that he had eaten the peppers, Chu Yu showed mercy and comforted the two of them. sentence.
"However, I have been in contact with her for a few days and have a good understanding of her situation. The specific reason is that I may not be able to answer it now, but I can assure you of one thing. Patient 710, she must have a problem, and she did it deliberately. It's not for objective reasons like the subconscious level."
Seeing that Chu Yu was so sure, Hu Bin rekindled hope, "How can you be sure she did it on purpose?"
"Feeling," Chu Yu narrowed his eyes, recalling the scene of his first meeting with Xia Yihan, "it's just a feeling."
In fact, the specific reasons are easy to find, such as the cold and aggressive temperament that Xia Yihan showed when they first met, for example, she transformed herself into a warm and clingy sweetheart, such as she always avoided targeted questions, Avoid prying eyes on your inner world…
There are countless examples, but Chu Yu doesn't want to break it apart and explain it to pieces. She wants to wait until she is completely sure and understand the cause and effect before holding a medical conference to explain it to the doctors in detail.
"However, although you are sure that there is something wrong with her, you still can't prove it, right?"
Hu Bin slumped again, feeling that the words had gone round and round, and then came back again.
"It can be confirmed," Chu Yu said calmly, but his eyes were very determined, "I originally wanted to resort to conventional methods, but now I seem to be out of my skills. In this case, it's time to let unconventional methods come in handy. ."
Hearing her words, Hu Bin swallowed hard and couldn't help reminding, "Chu, we don't want to use torture here."
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry."
After she finished speaking, she pushed back her shawl's long hair, stood up, and walked out of the steps of a torture expert.
…
In the ward, there was a bunch of lilies, so white and spotless, like the skin of a patient in the room, it would slip accidentally when the light shines on it.
Chu Yu looked at Xia Yihan's white and translucent skin, and her heart filled with excitement. She could immediately find out what kind of inner world was wrapped under this almost flawless skin.
"Sister, you said there are rewards, now three days are up, it's time to draw the lottery!" Xia Yihan's eyes are very spiritual, especially when she speaks, she stares at each other intently, as if the convenience is her whole world, which makes people double compliment.
Chu Yu liked the look in her eyes, but he was wary of her eyes at all times, as if facing a piece of freshly baked French bread, wanting to enjoy it to the fullest, but afraid that it would be too hot and burn the skin, so he had to keep a distance and wait patiently.
She really hoped that Xia Yihan was not a piece of hot bread, but a bowl of millet porridge at room temperature, which she could taste with confidence.
Chu Yu poured a glass of lemonade. For the past three days, she was addicted to Xia Yihan... The puzzles on her body made her not in the mood to eat. In front of Xia Yihan, she pretended to take two bites. When she was alone, she didn't have time to take care of "the issue of food and clothing". , so rely on this pot of lemonade to survive.
At this moment, she handed the life-sustaining water to Xia Yihan, her eyebrows curved, and she smiled softly, "Okay, the lottery will be drawn soon, what are you expecting?"
Xia Yihan looked at the lemon shards in the cup, and rolled his eyes in his sockets, "Could it be this cup of little yellow water, it's sour, it's not good to drink!"
Chu Yu tore open the sugar bag he carried with him and shook it gently into the cup, "I know you like sweets, so I asked for sugar from the cafeteria. Now it's sour and sweet, and it tastes great!"
Xia Yihan put the cup on the table, "That's a cup of water, I don't want this reward."
Chu Yu held his chin and looked at her, unable to stop the smile overflowing from his lips, "Then what do you want?"
"I want a kiss from my sister!" Xia Yihan straightened up and said seriously.
Chu Yu picked up the glass, took a sip, and then kissed her, leaving her grapefruit-colored lip print on it. She pushed the cup to Xia Yihan and smiled mysteriously, "I'll ask Comrade Xiaobei to help me convey the kiss, okay?"
Xia Yihan held the cup in both hands, held it up, looked at it for a while, and then took a sip.
"This glass of water is my sister's water of love!"
Chu Yu chuckled and dismissed her with a glass of water. This kid is so fooled.
"How about it, does it taste different?"
Xia Yihan took another sip, savored it for a while, and nodded solemnly, "Mmm! It's delicious."
Chu Yu looked at the time, stood up, dimmed the lights, then sat back across from Xia Yihan, staring at her.
Her voice was soft, like turning down the volume, but enhancing the texture in her voice, "Does it look like you're lying on the beach and drinking cold coconut water?"
Xia Yihan nodded, "Like."
"Is it like a rubber raft floating on the endless ocean, as the waves go up and down, you lie on the raft and drink pure water?"
Xia Yihan's eyes were half-open and half-closed, his eyelashes fluttered, and he nodded.
"The sea is calm, there is no wind, and there is no sun. You lie on the raft and float slowly. You close your eyes and feel the boat drifting silently, with the occasional chirping of seagulls in your ears. I smelled the salty smell that belongs to the ocean, but after floating at sea for a long time, I have become accustomed to this smell.
Xia Yihan closed her eyes and leaned gently on the back of the chair. Her face was quiet and peaceful, like a traveler on vacation on the beach, undisturbed.
Behind her, the medicinal powder in the lily volatilized little by little, colorless and odorless, and the breath invaded every inch of the air in the room.
"The raft has been drifting for a long time, I don't know how long it has passed, because there is no sun at sea, and you have no reference point. You can see all the blue water all around. Looking down, you can't see the fish, you can't see Coral, can't see any water creatures, and above the head, the seagulls also disappeared, I don't know where they flew."
Xia Yihan frowned, and the center of his eyebrows formed subtle lines.
Chu Yu turned into a narrator, using a soft and steady voice, like an invisible thread, to pull the other party's thoughts.
"The sun didn't appear, the sky didn't get dark, it was always cloudy, the raft floated aimlessly, an island gradually appeared on the sea level, the raft slowly landed, and it ran aground, you sat up, Putting out your upper body, you can't see the scene on the island clearly, you get on the island and walk to the depths of the island on foot, the things on the island seem to be slowly emerging from the fog, and gradually become clear, what's there?"
Xia Yihan still closed his eyes, but opened his mouth, "A lot of old houses, dilapidated houses that are about to be demolished."
"What's around the house?"
"A lot of flowers, fluttering acacia flowers, fell to the ground."
"What's in the house?"
Xia Yihan's eyelashes were shaking violently, his eyes rolled, "A man, lying on the bed."
"who's that person?"
In a flash of light and flint, Xia Yihan's eyes suddenly opened, and at the same time, he grabbed Chu Yu's wrist.
A strong force spread from her wrist, Chu Yu gasped in pain, she felt trapped by an iron clamp and couldn't break free.
In the severe pain, she and Xia Yihan's eyes met, and there was another chilling surge - Xia Yihan sat upright, one hand grabbed her wrist, his face was expressionless, his eyes were empty, and there was no temperature in his eyes, as if In an abyss, any gaze that fell into her eyes would only be ashes, and no response would be received.
Chu Yuqiang endured the pain and did not call out. She felt that if the other party added a little more strength, her hand bones would be broken immediately.
