Shen Qiu turned his head and looked at the photos in the black and white frames. Looking at the faces in the photos that were filled with bright smiles, his expression became increasingly gloomy.
Of course, the people in these black and white frames are not Shen Qiu's parents and relatives. He grew up in an orphanage and has no relatives.
The people in these photo frames are his brothers and sisters who once participated in extreme sports together.
But this hobby is extremely dangerous. Along the way, most of my companions were hung on the wall.
Shen Qiu looked at every face in the photo and couldn't help but recall the days when he spent his life playing with them.
He stood there for a long time, finally let out a long sigh and walked towards the bedroom.
After a final thought, he fell into a deep sleep.
…
The next day.
Anlike Building·Private Psychological Clinic.
Shen Qiu was half lying on the treatment chair, wearing a special helmet on his head.
Special images were constantly playing in the helmet. Shen Qiu's muscles were tense, his hands tightly grasped the armrests of the treatment chair, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.
A male doctor in white medical uniform and with white hair is holding a case record book and writing down the diagnosis results.
Ten minutes later, the helmet worn by Shen Qiu stopped working.
At this time, Shen Qiu slowly took off his helmet, slowly sat up, took a long breath, then raised his head and stared at the doctor in front of him and spoke.
"Doctor Tang Ke, how is my condition? Is it better than last time?"
Tang Ke put down the writing in his hand, raised his head and stared at Shen Qiu and said seriously.
"Mr. Shen, after I conducted a series of tests on you and combined them with the X-rays of your brain, your condition is worse than last time."
After hearing this, Shen Qiu was silent for a few seconds and then spoke.
"Can you tell me more specifically?"
"You can look at the handrail on the right."
Tang Ke said calmly.
Shen Qiu turned his head and looked, only to see that the handrail on the right showed signs of deformation.
"I did it?"
"Yes, when the virtual diagnostic device keeps playing intense and stimulating images for you, your body's adrenaline is constantly secreted, your nerves are highly excited, and your mind begins to gradually lose control. You may not even be aware of this process of losing control. And the worst thing is that the speed at which you enter the state of losing control is shorter than the last time, which means that your condition has worsened. Mr. Shen, I hope you can answer me truthfully, what exactly have you done in the past year?"
Tang Ke looked at Shen Qiu and asked in a deep voice.
Shen Qiu could sense that Tang Ke, his long-term attending physician, was a little unhappy, so he answered truthfully.
“I went to extreme jumping.”
"I suggest you stop participating in these extreme sports."
"I don't have any other hobbies, I just love extreme sports. Is there really no way I can continue?"
"These sports will constantly stimulate your spirit, making you extremely excited, constantly losing control and entering a second personality state. If this continues for a long time, your second personality will become more and more obvious, and eventually it may take over, causing a complete mental breakdown and becoming a severe mental patient."
Tang Ke warned Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu fell silent again, and Tang Ke did not urge Shen Qiu. After a few minutes, Shen Qiu spoke calmly.
"I see."
"I hope you can keep this in mind. I'm prescribing some medication for you as an auxiliary treatment."
Tang Ke stood up and walked towards the medicine cabinet next to him.
"Doctor Tang Ke, how long will it take for me to receive a certificate of recovery?"
Shen Qiu looked at Tang Ke's back as he was preparing medicine and asked calmly.
"It depends on how you recover. I definitely can't issue you an insurance policy in a short period of time. Although you haven't hurt anyone, your mental state is very unstable and you can't control yourself. You even have a tendency to self-harm. The situation is not very optimistic. What do you want this certificate for?"
"Looking for a job."
Shen Qiu did not hide it either.
Tang Ke paused for a moment, then continued to prepare the medicine.
He quickly prepared the medicine, handed it to Shen Qiu and said to him.
"There are two types of medicine in here. The regular medicine is taken once a day. The other type is the emergency medicine I prescribed for you, which contains a sedative. Remember to take it when you feel like you're losing control."
"Okay, how much?"
Shen Qiu asked calmly.
"It's all included in the medical fee, so there's no need to pay extra."
Tang Ke said calmly.
Shen Qiu glanced at Tang Ke and didn't say much, just spoke lightly.
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
"Um."
Tang Ke didn't say anything else. He just looked at Shen Qiu's back as he left and shook his head slightly.
…
Not long after, Shen Qiu walked out of the Anlike Building. He looked down at the medicine in his hand, and his mood became heavier.
He had originally held out a glimmer of hope that his situation might improve, but it turned out to be even worse.
Shen Qiu took a few deep breaths to suppress his irritability, took out his cell phone and took a look. It was already 11:20.
He then walked towards the nearest subway entrance. He had to rush to the Maple Leaf Restaurant to keep his appointment, and he didn't have much time left. Fortunately, the Maple Leaf Restaurant was in the 5th ring road, and he was in the 4th ring road, so it was not very far away.
Half an hour later, Shen Qiu arrived at the 5th Ring Road, Changqing Street. He saw the Maple Leaf Restaurant at a glance.
Maple Leaf Restaurant is a medium-sized casual restaurant, but its decoration is very romantic and distinctive, and the consumption is not high, so it is very popular among young people.
Shen Qiu walked to the door of the restaurant and the sensor door opened automatically.
He walked in head-on, the wind chimes hanging above made crisp sounds, and the waiters on both sides greeted him politely.
"Welcome!"
Shen Qiu nodded slightly in response. He looked around and saw that there was no one near the window, so he walked over.
After Shen Qiu sat down, a waitress asked with a smile.
"Would you like to order, sir?"
"Wait for someone, give me a cup of coffee first."
Shen Qiu replied calmly.
"Okay, wait a moment."
The waitress then retreated.
A few minutes later, a cup of hot coffee was brought to Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu picked up the coffee, took a sip from time to time, and waited quietly.
Ten minutes later, a figure suddenly appeared behind Shen Qiu, stretched out a hand and patted his shoulder.
Shen Qiu turned his head to look, and the hand that patted his shoulder stretched out a finger and poked Shen Qiu's face, followed by a sound that gave him goosebumps.
"Xiao Qiuqiu~~"
Shen Qiu frowned and stretched out his hand.
Bang~
Slap the other person's hand away.
"Ouch, that hurts! Don't be so rough!"
Looking closely, the person who was speaking was a handsome man who was dressed in fancy clothes, had earrings in his ears, and had a slightly feminine voice.
"Zhao Wuchang, how many times have I told you not to disgust me? I don't have that habit."
Shen Qiu said bluntly.
