The monster villain of the extraordinary world

Chapter 44 Medical History
Lei Yue, 18 years old, an art student in the college entrance examination, failed the exam.

He experienced a fire as a child, his parents died, his face was disfigured, he suffered from the rare mental disorder "Cotard Syndrome", and his dependent grandmother died on the day of the shotgun murder...

Fire in front, crows in back, bullying ensues...

Lin Hongyun looked at the archives in her hand, and already vaguely figured out the connection.

Now it seems that mental disorder?
Does that have anything to do with heterogeneous effects?
She needs to be sure of that.

In previous investigations, they had consulted many psychiatrists who had treated Lei Yue.

Because paranoia such as Cotard's syndrome is very rare, doctors have an impression of Lei Yue as a patient.

At that time, Lin Hongyun also chatted with Professor Wang Ruifu who first received Lei Yue, and also looked through some medical records that belonged to the patient's privacy, but found nothing abnormal.

Every medical record, as well as what the doctors said: Lei Yue was strong, took medicine for many years, and his condition was stable.

only……

"I have to call Professor Wang and ask."

In order to keep the clues secret, Lin Hongyun took out her personal mobile phone, and the more she thought about it, the more sullen she became.

Perhaps Lei Yue's condition was not so simple at the beginning more than ten years ago.

It's just that some details are hidden in the symptom description of "accompanied by auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations" in a few strokes in the medical records.

And because too much time passed, the elderly Professor Wang didn't remember enough details, especially the important details for the investigation.

However, she and the other investigators in the team did not pay enough attention to Lei Yue at that time.

Under the attention of all colleagues, Lin Hongyun didn't care whether it was early morning or not, so she called Professor Wang.

Professor Wang is over eighty years old. He used to be the director of the Department of Psychiatry at the Affiliated Hospital of Dongzhou University and a tenured professor of the School of Psychiatry at Dongzhou University.

Due to his old age and poor health, he has retired for many years and lived in seclusion in the countryside.

It's almost one o'clock in the morning, and Professor Wang should have already rested.

Therefore, the mobile phone beeped to be connected, and the other party did not connect for a long time.

The atmosphere in the office became more and more anxious, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Lei Yue?" The big man scratched his head and muttered, how could he think that.

It was at the Furong Market before, he had seen that ugly young man, only ten steps away, the other party was standing there...

Could it be that the graffiti incident of the gunman that day also had something to do with it?

"..." Lin Hongyun waited anxiously, held the mouse and clicked a few times, watching the video played on the computer screen again, hoping to find more clues from it.

The little boy who was bullied by a group of children sometimes smiled, sometimes cried, and had no expression on his rotten face. He wanted to leave but was blocked, very helpless.

Suddenly, the phone was connected, and Professor Wang's old voice came out, breaking the weird atmosphere in the office:
"Hi, hello, Agent Lin?"

"Professor Wang, hello, I'm bothering you so late, it's about the case."

Lin Hongyun said quickly, Professor Wang over there made a few oohs, and she said again:
"We're running out of time here, so I asked directly, and it was about the patient Lei Yue!
"Is there a crow in his medical history? Anything about crows will do."

Everyone listened silently to the outgoing call, and heard that Professor Wang over there seemed to be thinking hard:

"Let me think about it, Lei Yue? Is it a crow... It's been many years, I'm too old to forget things, it seems that I don't have much memory, do I?"

Lin Hongyun's heart sank immediately, but she was not surprised.

If not, Professor Wang would not have mentioned it before.

"Professor Wang, the matter is very important, please think clearly!" She could only ask in this way, looked at the video on the computer screen, and immediately said:

"By the way, I have a nursery rhyme here: The crow crow flies home and sees the house is on fire..."

She read the lost nursery rhyme again, "This is a nursery rhyme made up by a child in the same village who bullied Lei Yue. Is there any impact of this incident in his medical history?"

"Crow, crow..." Professor Wang muttered a few words thoughtfully. Suddenly, it seemed that some nursery rhymes brought back some memories, and Professor Wang let out a cry!
The old man, who had forgotten everything, said: "This matter... yes, I remembered, there are crows!"

Lin Hongyun raised her eyebrows, and looked at the big guy, Le Zai, Xiao Zhi, and Wen Nu.

Everyone's eyes widened slightly, their expressions became excited, and their hearts were all raised.

We all know that this time we caught a big fish.

"I told you last time that Cotard's syndrome is very complicated, and current medical research still doesn't understand it."

As Professor Wang recalled, he organized his speech and slowly said:

"This disease is like a death curse, and many patients will commit suicide in depression and fear that others cannot understand.

"And the reason for their emotional feelings is because of the illusion of death in the body, which constantly tortures them.

"Some people have other visual and auditory hallucinations.

"You remind me now. I remember that the patient Lei Yue said at that time that he would see a crow following him."

Lin Hongyun's eyes became sharper, she found it, indeed she found it.

"What's your medical diagnosis?" she asked.

"As for the child Lei Yue, he behaved strangely when he was just admitted to the hospital. He wasn't very scared and would often be in a daze."

Professor Wang continued:

"I knew at a glance that the child had hidden the fear caused by the fire in his subconscious mind. This is the function of the psychological self-protection mechanism, otherwise he might have schizophrenia.

"Detective Lin, I told you, schizophrenia and paranoia are actually two different things.

"What we generally know as 'crazy' is schizophrenia, sanity is completely unclear, and the whole brain has no logic.

"But delusions are different. Except for the relevant content of the delusional theme, their mind is completely normal. They just firmly believe in their own delusional content, but they are often very logical and everything makes sense."

Lin Hongyun listened, and knew about it a long time ago, so she couldn't help being a little impatient: "That crow?"

The big man also opened his head and looked around, as if he wanted to see the expression of Professor Wang on the other end of the phone.

"The child's psychological self-protection mechanism knows that if he can't face that fear, he can't bear it. Once he faces it, he will only develop into schizophrenia, so deal with it like this, and hide it deeply first."

Professor Wang, who didn't know the inside story, spoke in a calm manner:
"But this fear is not dealt with, it will appear in other forms, that is, hallucinations such as auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations.

"What you just said, the nursery rhyme, once increased Lei Yue's fear for a period of time, and his hallucinations became more serious.

"At that time, the kid was aggressive for a while. If it wasn't for his grandmother, it wouldn't have happened."

Lin Hongyun understood this and asked, "You mean, the crow is the incarnation of his fear?"

"No, no, that's his friend, the friend who protects him."

The more Professor Wang said, the more he thought about it, and his voice became louder:

"When children fantasize about having an animal friend to protect them, pets such as cats and dogs are the most common, followed by beasts such as lions and tigers.

"But Lei Yue's situation is different, he thinks he is dead, and the friends he needs are different.

"Crows can predict good and bad, which can be found in civilizations all over the world. In addition, ravens can bring the dead back to life.

"The crow, both a happy bird and a fierce bird, has already had a deep position in the collective subconscious of mankind, which is an archetypal image.

"So the crow he saw was an imaginary friend born out of the self-protection mechanism, powerful enough to help him face fear and other uncertain and risky challenges."

Listening to this, Lin Hongyun took two steps, and all her colleagues with solemn faces understood.

Heterogeneity can invade people's thinking. When a person's thoughts are too strong, coupled with some other characteristics and factors, a certain resonance can be achieved. This is exactly how the heterogeneous resonance occurs.

They are not ignorant of Lei Yue's current state. Just think about how much Lei Yue's grandmother's death will deal him a blow...

How did the current resonance in Furong Village come about?

It was that bad-faced boy that triggered the resonance of different dimensions, whether it was the arrival of the crows back then, or the door to the world is about to open now.

He wants to change, and the whole world changes.

"What about fear?" Lin Hongyun felt a little cold after thinking about it. If it was really that young man who caused this level of resonance...

That boy will scare many people.

She asked Professor Wang on the other end of the phone in a deep voice:

"Did Lei Yue's untreated fear appear as an illusion?"

"Yes, yes." Professor Wang sighed suddenly, "That's really, quite a big trouble."
