I couldn't help retorting: "Then what about you, are you afraid of hiding in this place? In fact, you should have no problem going out, but it seems that you enjoy the feeling of being in this environment. Or, do you You are simply afraid of too many people, you only like to face one person at a time, if there are too many people, you will be inexplicably anxious."
The old man looked at me tenderly, and raised his eyebrows at me, as if he wanted me to continue talking.
Naturally, I would not let this opportunity go, and then said: "You like to be alone, you have social phobia, so you have been creating a space where you can take the initiative. So you like to put the Tell other people's secrets, you have been hiding here to study psychology and sociology, probably because of this."
The old man didn't speak, and I naturally wouldn't give up my initiative easily. I said, "So you hid in, and you thought you were strategizing, but in fact you were just afraid to face it. Am I right?"
For a moment, no one spoke.
After a long silence, he was the first to speak: "You are young, and you must have read a lot of psychological works. Judging from the short few minutes of contact, you have said a lot about me, and these, I admit it all. Your observation skills are very keen."
"But what's the matter?" The old man stared at me: "I do have such a problem, but I can face up to my problem. I can see my shortcomings clearly, and I can see my advantages clearly, so I find a solution for myself. A place like that, you know, that's how I deal with myself."
"But." The old man changed his subject, his eyebrows were as steep as a mountain, and his tone became more serious: "You are different, you can't see yourself clearly. Maybe you can vaguely recognize yourself, but you can't face yourself. Ask yourself Now, is this life really what you want?"
Suddenly, I felt as if my heart had been hit by something, which was the hardest and softest part of my heart. In a trance, I feel that this moment is really too tired.
The old man casually picked up a pen and drew circles back and forth on the paper.
While drawing a circle, he said: "You obviously don't trust anyone, but you have to pretend to be familiar with people. You are afraid of being alone, but you are also afraid of getting too close to people. Because you understand a truth, Extremes lead to opposites, when you get too close to a person, separation follows."
"Then why can't you admit it?" The old man handed over a pen and a piece of white paper, and then said, "We are actually the same person, don't socialize like crazy because of loneliness, you and I should be the ones who enjoy solitude , What’s so bad about being alone. Being abandoned is being abandoned? No, we have to resist.”
"Draw a house and a tree," said the old man.
I drew a tree at random, thought about it, and drew the house in the middle of the tree. In this way, what appears in the picture is a tree piercing through the roof and extending out.
The old man looked at it and said: "You are this tree, but you are still in the house, and your heart longs to get out, don't you feel it?"
"You are not suitable to be bound in this framework." The old man lowered his voice and said slowly: "Do you understand what I mean? Putting on that clothes, you can't release yourself at all. Life is just short For a hundred years, some people live for a hundred years without doing anything, and some people live for twenty or thirty years, but they are famous in history. Even if they are stigmatized for thousands of years, it is better than doing nothing."
"What do you want to ask me?" The old man sat up straight again and said seriously.
I was silent for a moment, took out my mobile phone, and showed the old man the English letters on it: "This is it. We suspect that the murderer is also mentally ill and has a twisted mind. We searched for these sentences on the Internet, but found nothing. That is to say , This may be original by the murderer, you also study psychology, do you know what psychology he is?"
The old man continued to turn his pen, looking at the sentence on the phone while chanting.
When the old man finished reading, he said, "Don't you think that your translation is very problematic? Who translated this Chinese sentence?"
"As for who translated it, you don't have to ask." I said, "I want to know his mentality."
The old man was silent for a moment, and said: "It's very simple. Can't you see it? It's so obvious. He left so many traces, just to prove his existence. It's like a tourist writing down his own They are all to find their own sense of existence. If a person is dead, but you can’t find any trace of the murderer, his sense of existence is too low.”
Suddenly, the old man leaned forward, and said seriously: "I told you a long time ago, the more people lack something, the more they want to show something, the sense of existence he lacks. When this murderer was young, he must have never been If people are watching, there must be no sense of existence. Think carefully, who is this murderer?"
Listening to the old man's words, I suddenly felt a strange emotion in my heart, my brain suddenly buzzed, and I had a severe headache for a moment. I gently pressed my temples with my hands, hoping to relieve my headache.
"I was abandoned by people since I was a child, and no one loves me." An ethereal voice came to my ears intermittently: "He is out of tune with this world, and he has never been accepted by this world. What he saw Everything about him is an illusion. The friends around him, the people he likes, and the people who like him are all fake."
"This world is fake, so you have to break through this world and find your own world. Remember, your keyword is..."
In the blur, I heard the alarm bell outside, and I don't know what happened.
I suddenly woke up, and the old man in front of me did not know when he had left the table, but stood in front of me, holding a pen in his hand at this moment.
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of slamming the door behind me. I looked, and the door was locked, but I remembered that I didn't make this action at all. So when was the door locked? I looked back, and the old man looked at me with a gloomy face, with an indescribably gloomy look in his eyes.
Two completely different images from the old man I saw before.
He rushed towards me with a pen in his hand, but how could the old man's physique compare to that of a young man in his twenties? Although I was thinner, I could at least deal with him.
The old man desperately grabbed my collar with his hands, and he still muttered: "Remember, you are an orphan, you are going to die, you don't want to live, do you remember!"
The ferocious expression was like that of an ogre, the blood vessels on his face were bulging, and his face was flushed, as if he had exhausted all his strength. But he let go of his hand again, and said to himself, "No, no, it can't be like this. I'm not like that, but so what, no, what's wrong?"
As he said that, the old man seemed to be caught in some kind of cycle, and he ignored me, but walked and talked to himself.
I quickly opened the door and ran out.
Outside, several people looked at me with the eyes of the survivors.
"What the hell happened." I looked at a few people and said.
The head nurse said anxiously, "I told you not to let you in. If you insist on coming in, I think you are almost the same as those who have been in before. But, I have never seen him like this before." , I don’t know if it’s because you are special, it seems that the original people were all hypnotized by him, but they were all calm... "
I am puzzled.
Guan Zengbin said: "You really scared me to death. We were waiting for you outside, and halfway through the chat, you suddenly came over and locked the door behind you. Then you didn't agree to what we called you. At this time, just I saw that old man standing in front of you, as if saying something to you."
I frowned, and only then did I feel the seriousness of the problem. It suddenly occurred to me that the old man had picked up his pen many times and turned it on his fingertips. Only then did I realize that it was not an unintentional action, but a mark for me. When it turns the nib repeatedly, it reinforces the mark for me again and again.
At the same time, the old man used words to guide me and let me fall into his atmosphere, and without knowing it, I was hypnotized. And the scary thing is, if the alarm hadn't sounded in time, I would have heard the old man's words, which is also the most important step in hypnosis, setting keywords.
As Team Leader Shao said before, if he didn't say the key words, the person might not be hypnotized for the rest of his life, but once he said the key words, the person would fall into a hypnotic state. And this kind of keyword is generally not a term used in daily life, it is the kind of vocabulary that people will not say in 100% of the cases, generally no more than five words.
And if the old man set keywords for me, when he said the key words later, I would fall into a hypnotic state, and I don't know what the old man said when I was hypnotized.
The head nurse said: "Fortunately, if someone hadn't pressed the alarm in a hurry and made the surrounding alarm ring loudly, I'm afraid you won't have a long life to live, either you will be arrested in a mental hospital, or you will kill yourself. I killed myself. As I have said, these people are all mentally ill, and you must not have a normal conversation with them. Those who can talk to mentally ill are probably also mentally ill."
"Then, who rang the alarm bell?" The head nurse looked at several people and asked, "I have to give him a good compliment."
But for a long time, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke.
The surrounding atmosphere became strange and quiet.
"If it wasn't for us." Gu Chen said slowly: "Then there will be no one else in the corridor."
"Could it be?"
