It was almost noon, but it was not yet noon.
It indicates that the bell for lunch has not yet rang, and the last class before lunch has not ended.
The sun shone diagonally from above, and there was a large shadow between the two buildings, and there was no one outside the building.
The school security had begun to wash away the blood on the ground, and the water flow made the whole square become wet.
Walking up from the bottom of the No. 3 teaching building, I can occasionally hear the voices of teachers lecturing. Those voices are high or low, floating back and forth in the cold corridor, but there is no sense of liveliness. The human voice makes people feel that the surrounding is too quiet.
On the roof of the teaching building, the old iron door was pushed open again.
At the place where Xu Haozhen jumped off the building, two police officers were doing the final on-site investigation. The sudden sound of the iron chain colliding with the door frame made the two of them shudder violently.
They turned their heads and saw two more people, walking against the sun and stepping onto the rooftop one after another.
"Xing... Captain Xing?" One of the police officers recognized the person and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"How is the scene?" Xing Conglian walked in front of the two of them. He had already seen the live broadcast of the suicide. He knew that no one else was waiting on the rooftop at that time, but he still had to ask one more question.
The sunlight outside was still very dazzling. He raised his eyes and looked straight ahead. Because of the offset of the sunlight, the shadow of the teaching building on the opposite side covered it, and he had to be very careful to see the surveillance cameras on the roof of the building.
The angle of the camera has been adjusted, and it seems that everything is gone.
"It should be suicide. From the footprint analysis, there is no trace of pushing." One of the police officers stood up and replied.
It's just that although the police officer answered like this, the expression on his face was very embarrassing, and he even hesitated.
"What's the matter, what happened just now?" Xing Conglian noticed his slightly open mouth and asked.
"What are you talking about?" The policeman took off his hat, brushed his hair, and put the police on again, looking very irritable, "Just now, the school leaders came downstairs and had a fight with the Jiang team. Said that we did not handle the case properly and did not stop the students from committing suicide in time…”
"Can you blame us? This is because the school's mental health education is not in place." Another police officer in charge of trace inspection interjected.
Seeing the depressed appearance of the two of them who couldn't help but want to complain, they should have quarreled extremely fiercely when they wanted to come to the fight downstairs.
It's just that the school leaders would not accuse the police for no reason.
Xing Conglian didn't go to ask the reason, but turned back subconsciously, looking for Lin Chen's figure.
It's just that as soon as he turned his head, he almost shouted out in fright.
Lin Chen didn't know when, he stood on the edge of the rooftop.
The long wind was fierce and passed across the sky. Lin Chen's clothes and his hair were all chaotically blown by the wind, as if the next moment, he would also go with the wind.
In Xing Conglian's mind, a scene from a long time ago suddenly appeared.
It was also the same kind of wind and this kind of person. At that time, the bridge rail was broken, and he watched the young man in white on the bridge fall from the sky.
His face was ashen, he took a few steps in a hurry, and came quietly behind Lin Chen.
However, just as he stretched out his hand and was about to hook Lin Chen, Lin Chen seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and turned his head abruptly.
For a while, he and Lin Chen got very close, and the shadows in the building were like ink, making Lin Chen's face dark and unclear.
"The feeling of standing here is terrible, right?" Lin Chen asked suddenly.
"You come down first, and don't make dangerous moves."
Xing Conglian took another step forward, trying to hold him, but Lin Chen cleverly avoided his hand.
Because he was standing on the edge of the rooftop, following Lin Chen's voice, he subconsciously looked downstairs.
The wind is getting stronger.
Looking down from a height, the floor here is even higher than expected.
"You said, why is she so happy when she jumped from here?" Lin Chen asked again.
"You come down first."
"Actually, such a thing exists."
"what?"
"Excites you, excites you, makes you happy, makes you feel like you can do anything, makes you never leave it..."
Lin Chen suddenly opened his mouth, his eyes were dark and bright, as if there was light.
In Xing Conglian's ears, there was only the sound of the strong wind. He looked at Lin Chen's mouth and looked at his expression, knowing that he was talking about something very important, but those voices, no matter what, could not enter his mind.
Xing Conglian found that he was indeed afraid as Lin Chen said.
He quickly reached out and held Lin Chen's arm, trying to pull the person off the edge of the rooftop, but the next moment, he held it empty again, and Lin Chen's figure was also lost in his field of vision.
The feeling of fear is like the kiss of a poisonous snake, which makes people feel as if they have fallen into an ice cellar and are cold all over.
"How does the adrenaline feel?"
A quiet voice came from under him.
Hearing this, Xing Conglian quickly lowered his head and found that Lin Chen was sitting on the edge of the rooftop.
That posture is exactly the same as Xu Haozhen before he jumped off the building.
Xing Conglian took a deep breath, he saw a sly smile on Lin Chen's face, like a child who had succeeded in mischief. pause.
It's just that the thought of him beating people also disappeared in a flash.
"Exciting." Xing Conglian said coldly.
Very exciting, very exciting, too exciting.
Xing Conglian's voice was very low, like the dull sound of ice cubes floating on the sea rubbing against each other.
Lin Chen turned his head and saw that Xing Conglian's face was really bad, obviously he was really frightened.
He hurriedly turned around, grabbed the edge of the roof, and wanted to get up. The next second, his eyes darkened, and he felt a huge force coming from his waist, and he fell back to the hard concrete floor.
Lin Chen's knees softened, he subconsciously supported Xing Conglian's chest, and took two breaths.
Xing Conglian did not speak.
Lin Chen let go of his hand and raised his head quickly, only to see Xing Conglian's eyes turned dark green, his pupils also widened, his complexion was ashen and terrifying.
It was something Lin Chen had never seen before.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have used you as a reference." He quickly apologized.
Lin Chen's attitude was sincere, and his voice was a little soft. Xing Conglian suddenly couldn't get angry: "Reference, what did you just say, what is it, why do I think that what you said seems to be a drug?"
"In fact, it is very similar. The physiological mechanism of drugs is to activate the euphoric center of the brain, stimulate a rapid increase in dopamine, and release euphoria. And things like norepinephrine will excite your peripheral nerves, making your heart beat faster and excited. "Lin Chen pulled Xing Conglian, took two steps away from the rooftop, and said, "Whether it's Wang Shishi or Xu Haozhen, they all seemed very happy and satisfied when they died."
"But I remember that the autopsy report did not mention that alcohol or drugs were found in their bodies." Xing Conglian said.
"In fact, from a physiological point of view, it's not just alcohol or drugs. When you eat food, when you fall in love, or even when you have sex, your brain secretes these substances, which make you happy and make you flirtatious. The essential mechanism of human addiction." Lin Chen said, "Pleasure is something that human beings cannot refuse. In order to continue to pursue such a pleasant and exciting feeling, many people begin to drink, take drugs, and promiscuous..."
"So, Wang Shishi and Xu Haozhen are all pursuing the ultimate pleasure, even the pleasure of death?" Xing Conglian suddenly remembered the expressions of the three young people indulging in pleasure in those sex photos, yes, they are not only for the dark Those people in the network provide pleasure, and they themselves are also enjoying that extreme pleasure.
Thinking of this, Xing Conglian shuddered.
"However, the question is whether everyone dares to deviate from the normal moral code and dare to pursue such pleasure, otherwise, the workload of the police will increase exponentially." Lin Chen didn't give up any more. Get up: "We can use Freud's most classic psychodynamic theory to explain this problem." Lin Chen paused, and met Xing Conglian's eyes, "Our personality is divided into 'id' and 'ego' , and the 'superego', for example, the 'id' is at the bottom of the personality, composed of innate instincts and desires, you can think of it as a wild horse; the 'superego' is the top of the personality, following moral principles , suppressing id impulses, it is like the rules of the road; and the 'ego' is in the center, you can think of the ego as the rider who rides the wild horse. Then, if the rider has a problem, the wild horse will go on a rampage, ignoring the rules, cause mental illness in humans…”
Xing Conglian suddenly understood what Lin Chen meant: "That is to say, Wang Shishi and the others cannot monitor themselves, making them obsessed with the pursuit of their "self" desire?"
"Remember the earth-shaking changes that happened to them?" Lin Chen asked.
"what do you mean… "
"They lost themselves. The Xu Haozhen you saw is not the real one, that Xu Haozhen."
The sun was blocked by clouds, the shadows moved, and the wind was piercingly cold.
Xing Conglian was unable to speak for a long time. Finally, he calmed his breath and asked, "Why?"
What causes humans to lose themselves
Lin Chen didn't answer this question, because any answer related to it was extremely dangerous. He looked at the woods in the distance, and the sparkling lake at the end of the woods.
Just then, the school bell rang.
The radio suddenly started playing the music of the lunch break. At first, it was just a slight piano sound, as if dew was dripping from the branches. Gradually, those sounds became more and more intense, and they became more and more high-pitched, like countless trickles converging and colliding, they blended with each other, tore each other, Finally galloping into the sea.
"Please be sure to remind Jiang Chao that those people we are going to face, they act in pursuit of instinctual pleasure, have no shame, have no sense of morality, and may even have no sense of law..." Lin Chen said.
"The next live broadcast will be very dangerous, right?"
Lin Chen looked down at the campus under his feet and said, "Yes, they are not even afraid of the gun in your hand, but do you dare to shoot at them?"
