Chapter 10 The Overly Cooperative Patient

"Actually, I often forget that there are other people around me just because I'm chatting with her." Dean Aoyama held his paper figurine daughter like a treasure.

"Aito, do you have this kind of trouble?" He looked at the boy with the same kind of eyes.

Aito nodded after hearing this: "But, isn't this normal?"

Between family and others, focus more on family and ignore others...

Isn't it normal?

When he and Gin Jiu were together, their basic attention was only on each other.

"This...that's right...it's indeed normal." Dean Qingshan rubbed his chin, smiling awkwardly.

He then thought of another symptom that Mr. Kurosawa had told him before he brought someone here.

"Hey, the weather is really nice today. There must be a lot of students on the street on Monday." Dean Qingshan changed the subject.

Ai Tuo thought about the figures in school uniforms he saw on the way to the hospital, and nodded.

There are indeed many students.

Dean Qingshan's expression became serious.

Of course today is not Monday, today is Wednesday.

It seems that Mr. Kurosawa's statement that this boy can't tell the date is indeed true.

Treat paper figurines as family members, and don't feel that there is anything wrong, and at the same time can't tell the time...

And it gives people the feeling that there is a sense of disobedience in every move.

As a well-informed director of a mental hospital, Taio Aoyama can say with certainty that there is absolutely something wrong with this young man.

If you think about it from the beginning, you will find that the boy's every move, including every expression and eyes, is very polite and perfect.

How perfect is it?It's just like the textbook behavior mentioned in the book.

From the beginning to the end, there was no emotional redundant reaction.

"Do you know, today is not Monday." Dean Qingshan thought for a while and said directly, watching every expression and action of the white-haired boy.

"So it's not Monday?" Aito said thoughtfully.

Obviously the dean just said that today is Monday.

So...he lied to him?
What is the purpose?

Ato thought for a while, then suddenly realized.

Qin Jiu thought he was mentally ill, so he brought him here, so the fact that he couldn't recognize the date, did it also become a manifestation of mental illness in the eyes of the other party?
However, if you can't recognize the date, is it considered mentally ill?

"Is inability to recognize dates mentally ill?" Aito asked the professionals directly.

"...Forget it." Dean Qingshan was silent for a moment.

It seems that this young man himself is very clear that he can't recognize the date.

If it's just a simple misreading, or misremembering, or confusing the date, it's actually normal.

But if you can't tell the date at all...

Coupled with the behavior of treating the paper dolls as family members...

Undoubtedly sick.

"I see..." Aito nodded.

"So I'm mentally ill." He said clearly.

But in this case...

Is the system also mentally ill?

Aito asked the system when he couldn't tell the time before, and the answer he got was...

[The world's time rules are chaotic and the system cannot recognize it. ]
A system that is too regular meets a timeline with chaotic rules, so it is also garbled.

"Do you need to take medicine?" He asked actively.

It is said in the book that if you are sick, you should take medicine for treatment. You are right to ask yourself that.

However, can the system take medicine?

"...It's really great that you are willing to cooperate." Taifu Qingshan forced himself not to show a complicated expression, and said calmly and reliably.

Why are you so cooperative?

Shouldn't you be suspicious?

"Excuse me." Aito smiled gratefully at the other party.

He knew he couldn't tell the time.

When he was locked in that storage room by that couple back then, when he could still see it, all he saw were pure white and cold tiles, without even a window.

And after he couldn't see it, he fell into complete darkness.

Can't tell the passage of time.

If the meal time is on time, he can also guess what day it is based on the three meals a day.

but……

If it was true that three meals a day were regular, the original owner would not be starved to death.

He knew that he had been imprisoned for the one thousand and one day, and it was also because after the couple died, the system appeared and reminded him to complete the novice task.

After he could see, he still couldn't tell the time.

But the system says it's normal.

Because he is not from this world, he cannot integrate into the rules of time.

"Wait a minute, I'll make an order for you..." Dean Qingshan said so, and left for a while.

When he came back again, he handed the list to the man with long silver hair.

More than one.

Ai Tuo could clearly see that under the prescription list, there was also a certificate of his diagnosis.

And you can see the words on it.

[The patient suffers from schizophrenia, imagining non-existent family members, and comprehensive time perception impairment...can't tell the date...suspected to suffer from emotional loss...]

"Let's go." Gin held a few reports, stood up as if he had completed the task, and beckoned Vodka and Aituo to leave.

"Are you going to get me some medicine?" Aituo walked behind Gin, with an unmistakable intimacy and trust.

"Grasp the medicine? You don't need that kind of thing." Qin Jiu rolled up the prescription certificate and threw it on the ground.

Avik Lear does not need to take medicine.

The opponent is in good condition now.

No need to heal, no need to remember the past.

Just maintain the status quo and be an obedient member.

"Don't you need medical treatment?" Aituo asked in a puzzled tone.

Wasn't bringing him to see a doctor just to let him get a good treatment?

"You're fine as you are now, you don't need to take medicine." Qin Jiu's voice was cold and low.

"Okay." Aito nodded.

It didn't matter to him that he couldn't tell the time.

The sun still rose and set.

This is enough.

The three got into the car, and Vodka drove away.

After they left, Taifu Qingshan walked out of the office with a tangled expression, walked in the corridor, and saw the ball of paper on the ground at a glance.

Bending down to pick up the ball of paper, unfold it to have a look.

It was the list he had just given to the patient.

He personally handed it over to Mr. Kurosawa, but now it is thrown here in a ball of paper. No matter how you think about it, it can only be done by Mr. Kurosawa.

Why in the end?

Doesn't he know how sick his son is?
Dean Qingshan frowned and sighed deeply.

He has seen many unqualified parents who don't care about the doctor's orders.

Thinking of the boy's performance, Taifu Aoyama always felt that he still had many details about the other party that he hadn't discovered yet.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the other party may really be seriously ill.

……

"Just park here, Uncle Vodka." Aito reminded.

"Here? What are you going to do? Ivy." Vodka said in a puzzled tone.

Here... there are very few people.

"There's a dog over there, it's dying." The white-haired boy pointed to a corner beside him.

There lay a skinny, dying Shiba Inu.

He saw it on the way to the mental hospital.

I thought it would be too late for the other party to die.

"Do you want to save it?" Vodka asked curiously.

If you bring a stray dog ​​like that into the car...

Brother will be angry.

"Because there is still a lack of a pet character at home, so I want to take it home, but I don't know if it is willing." Said the white-haired boy, opened the door and got out of the car.

"Brother, are we leaving?" Vodka looked at the figure walking towards the Shiba Inu, and at the gin on the co-pilot, and asked cautiously.

He was afraid that if he continued to stay, Ivy would really take the dog into the car.

This is Brother Gin's favorite car.

"No need." Gin Jiu lit a cigarette.

The scarlet eyes stared at the boy's back indifferently.

Vodka also watched carefully.

But he found that the picture he imagined did not happen.

The white-haired boy just squatted beside the dying Shiba Inu.

did nothing.

Aito squatted beside Shiba Inu, and silently bought a small paper doll in the system mall.

Hold the paper figurine in your hand and wait for the other person to die.

Finally, while he was waiting, the Shiba Inu completely lost its breath.

A transparent and extremely weak soul appeared above the corpse.

No sound could be made, and it seemed to disappear.

"Are you going to be my family?" Aito asked while holding up the little paper figurine.

Shiba Inu's soul looked at him, then at the little paper man, and attached itself to the paper man.

So Ato gave a contented smile, stood up, and walked towards the car.

The time to come back was just right, and it didn't take long before it died.

The first pet in the family has arrived!

There will definitely be more family members in the future!
"Ivy, didn't you say you wanted to take it home?" Vodka asked as he looked at the boy who came back empty-handed.

It doesn't matter that the picture he imagined didn't happen, Ivy even just squatted on the side without doing anything, just watched Shiba Inu die like that, then took out a paper man and smiled.

It just looks...not normal.

"I brought it back." Aituo raised the little paper figurine as a gesture.

"But this shape doesn't look like a dog at all..." Aituo said thoughtfully.

Dogs cannot use human form.

Fortunately, after a while, the paper figurine will turn into a dog according to the soul of the Shiba Inu attached to it.

Vodka looked at the white paper man with empty eyes and grinning at him, and shivered silently.

The eldest brother brought Ivy to the mental hospital, and it seems that he did nothing wrong.
