Delusion Master

The moment you enter the inner world of someone else’s brain, you will have a wonderful feeling, as if your consciousness has turned into a meandering flow of light and travels through the boundless cosmic space, along the passage opened by the flashing electric light, cutting into the invisible barrier against huge resistance, and then surrounding The pressure is suddenly relieved, the sky is bright, and everything recovers.

Wei Lin opened his eyes and saw a pure blue sky like a jewel.In reality, it was raining continuously in autumn, and the sky was gray for more than half a month, and the sun was as stingy as an autistic person to show up.He greedily looked at it for a few more seconds before getting up to observe the world around him.

He is standing on the roof of a skyscraper, with a bird's eye view below, a bustling city can be seen: row upon row of buildings, criss-cross streets, parks and large squares dotted like bonsai, as well as the endless stream of vehicles and crowds, in mid-air From time to time, a few small aircraft flew by... A wide river divides the city into north and south areas, and within sight, there are three bridges crossing the river.

This is the F city where they live, but it is not the real F city, but the projection of reality in Li Minxing's brain, and then make corresponding adjustments according to the patient's own preferences.For example, Li Minhang is engaged in the electronics industry and has a special liking for high technology, so the world in his brain also presents a futuristic style accordingly.

Wei Lin walked around the roof of the building, and the morning breeze blew up the faint hustle and bustle. The whole city was lively and quiet, and it was running step by step under the sun, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

"This is the building where the information technology company where Li Minxing works is located." Bai Yuan stretched out his index finger, and the low-light particles condensed on the fingertips to form a circular arc-shaped contact lens, which stuck to the left eyeball and covered the original green iris.Now that eye has become pitch black, and if you look carefully, you will find a very small electric glow flashing past the pupil seemingly without any presence.He looked down from the top of the 35-storey building, and the flow of people at the entrance and exit on the ground floor of the building was as insignificant as an ant colony. "...I saw Li Min was gone. He was going out and down the steps to the parking lot."

Wei Lin didn't care about the mission target, but stared curiously at Bai Yuan's discolored left eye: "A contact lens with a search, positioning and identification system? What is the spiritual ability after the development of the domain—realization? This ability is really enough... Dedicated hahaha, I guess it can only be used here, otherwise in reality, you can create a treasury of banknotes for yourself just by imagining, and you still have to pay for it. Is it worth it to go to work?"

He made a guess with great interest, but Bai Yuan turned a deaf ear to it, a silver metal sleeve appeared on his right arm, and the claw launcher popped out quickly, tightly clasping the iron pipe on the edge of the roof.

Wei Lin watched Bai Yuan jump down from the roof of the building without any hesitation, his black coat was flapped by the strong wind in the sky, like a falcon gliding with spread wings.Using the rope between the arm cuff and the claw hook, he quickly jumped downwards, and his toes nimbly kicked off the vertical outer wall of the tall building. Each landing point was ten meters apart, and he landed safely on the ground in less than half a minute. , unfasten the rope buckle.

Li Minxing's car had already left the parking lot, Bai Yuan disarmed the anti-theft alarm of a city SUV next to him, started the car, and drove off.

The claw hook on the edge of the roof shattered into countless particles invisible to the naked eye, and disintegrated together with the rope.

Wei Lin bent his knuckles, tapped the empty iron pipe, and said, "Stingy!"

Mr. Bai, a cheapskate, obviously didn't give him convenience, and most likely wanted to dump him and act alone.Wei Lin complained again, and his feet were not idle. He went down from the iron gate on the roof, took the elevator to the 15th floor, and went to the department where Li Minxing worked according to the information provided in the patient profile before entering the holographic projection.On the way, he also snatched an ID badge from the employee of the information technology company who passed by, and used it to pass through several gates that required identity verification.

"Minxing, you promised to give me the upgrade data before 9 o'clock, and it's almost 10 o'clock." Wei Lin walked into the office and pretended to ask a programmer at the next table with his eyes glued to the computer screen, " said the guard. He just went out, do you know where he went?"

The male programmer replied without looking up: "Go home."

"Go home? Isn't it time to get off work?"

"Who knows! I was restless all morning, and sometimes said that I received threatening emails, and sometimes said that someone was monitoring his mobile phone. I think that guy is hysterical. I just called and yelled that his house was broken into. He hurriedly left without even asking for leave. If he continues like this, he will be fired sooner or later."

The patient's information contained Li Minxing's home address. It was more than half an hour away from here. Wei Lin threw the folder on the table and turned to leave the office.

Then the male programmer raised his face in a daze, looked at the back of the door, and muttered: "Who is this guy? I haven't seen him before. How did he come in... Hey, why did I tell him everything?" He thought about it Thinking that the other party's tone and attitude are so natural, he should be a new employee in some department. I must have been infected by the neurotic Li Minxing, and I am also a little nervous.Soon he put this episode behind him and continued to focus on the screen.

Wei Lin walked out of the building, took an unmanned taxi and went straight to Li Minxing's home, using the money he found in the pocket of the male programmer's coat - when his consciousness was transmitted in, except for his naked body, Cannot bring any personal belongings.

+ + + + + +

Bai Yuan parked the off-road vehicle by the side of the road and watched Li Minxing get out of the car in a hurry and rush into the house.He didn't follow up immediately, but sat in the driver's seat and waited. At the same time, he casually thought that if Wei Lin couldn't find this place in a short time, at least two problems could be explained: [-]. He can only brag.Two, he was unresponsive.

Although Bai Yuan thinks that the vast majority of the world's population cannot be called smart people, when he has to cooperate, he still hopes to have a partner who is not so stupid. .

The time limit he set for Wei Lin was 30 minutes. Within 30 minutes, he left the building through the access control, found out Li Minxing's whereabouts, obtained his home address, and found transportation.If Wei Lin can appear in front of him within the time limit, they can continue to cooperate, if not, he will get rid of the laggard and go it alone.

Looking down at his watch, more than seven minutes had passed, Bai Yuan reckoned that there was still some time to wait, and was about to turn on the music in the car, when he slapped the window glass of the driver's seat with his five fingers spread apart.

Bai Yuan turned his head and saw Wei Lin's face through the color-changing glass—in all fairness, this face is well-defined, with clear eyebrows, and can be called handsome, especially a pair of brown eyes with slightly lighter pupils. Sometimes it will bend into a crescent shape, which is very sunny and amiable.

At this moment, Wei Lin bent his eyes into crescent moons, and said to him with a smile: "Bai~Xian~Sen, are you disappointed to see me? I'm really sorry that I didn't get dumped as you wished."

The sunny illusion burst like a soap bubble in an instant.

At this moment, Bai Yuan felt that he not only had a hideous appearance and a slippery manner, but even his Nandao accent, which he deliberately used when he spoke sarcasm, was very soft and piercing.He swallowed the originally planned sentence "Yes, you passed the level" Liu Feng went back to the snow, and replaced the remaining coldness with a sentence: "You can't even go down the stairs, what can you do?"

Wei Lin: "I can do anything, except I can't have children. You can do it? Give me a baby and show me!"

Bai Yuan took a deep breath and reminded himself that verbal entanglement is a boring and imbecile thing, especially when meeting an opponent with a thicker skin than cowhide, the best counterattack is not to respond.

So he activated his disregard for Dafa again, got out of the car with a cold face, slammed the door and walked towards Li Minxing not far ahead.

Wei Lin's face was close to the window of the car, and when he got out of the car, he pushed the door abruptly, almost slapped his nose, and hurriedly jumped back two steps like a vigilant rabbit.After realizing that it was just a near miss, he was annoyed that he wasn't calm enough and that the new round of fights with his arch-enemy didn't end well, so he touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.

Bai Yuan stood on the edge of the backyard, looked in through the undrawn curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and could see Li Minxing rummaging through boxes and boxes.With an electromagnetic pulse gun that appeared, he solved the siren on the courtyard door and the security robot dog that came in response, and strode towards the house.

Li Minxing turned the house into a mess and was roaring into the air in the living room: "I know you have installed monitors and camera probes here, you rats in the gutter! You will secretly follow, eavesdrop, poison, and do these things There's no such thing as a nasty thing! If you have the ability to stand up and fight with me in an upright manner! Wait and see, I'll have to dig out those damn things and trample them!" He looked menacing, but the vibrato at the end of the sentence revealed There was a trace of uncontrollable tension and panic.

Bai Yuan has long been familiar with the strange thing: persecution paranoia.The most common type of delusional disorder is that patients firmly believe that they are being followed, monitored, plotted, or persecuted by individuals or organizations, and their lives are threatened, so they feel fear and suspicion, and are suspicious and alert.They will bring relevant people in their lives into their delusional world, set up imaginary enemies with self-righteous judgment and reasoning, and even hold the wrong concept of "strike first to be strong" and attack others.

For a patient like Li Minxing, telling him directly that "no one wants to harm you, all this is your own delusion" is completely ineffective, and it will even have the opposite effect of intensifying and solidifying.

Bai Yuan's treatment direction is "give before you want": since you feel that someone is harming you and killing you, well, I will give you this person.Holding the frighteningly powerful electromagnetic pulse gun, he kicked open the door and rushed in full of viciousness.

The moment Li Minxing saw him, he was stunned. After the shock, he felt a kind of lament and fear that "the nightmare really came true, and my intuition did not deceive me".The "fight with Lao Tzu in an upright manner" that he had just announced just now was under his nose, but he was sweating coldly and his legs were trembling.

Bai Yuan pointed his gun at him, and said coldly, "You know too much, the company wants you to disappear completely in this world."

Li Minxing's slender legs trembled so much that he could hardly support his slender upper body, like a plucked egret, which lost its body under the gun of a hunter.

At the juncture of life and death, a roll of firecrackers left over from the Chinese New Year was thrown from behind him and exploded in mid-air.He subconsciously raised his arm to cover his face, but someone grabbed his wrist tightly, and a man's voice whispered in his ear: "The organization sent me to rescue you, follow me!"

Although the voice was young, it was full of deep strength, with invincible sharpness and unusually reliable firmness, which made him unconsciously want to believe and accept it.So he gave up struggling and allowed the other party to pull him out of the back door. The two ran out of the yard hand in hand, got into the car, and quickly started the car to drive away.

After the choking smoke from the firecrackers and the smell of gunpowder dissipated, Bai Yuan stood unmoved, the gun disappeared in his hand.His gaze crossed the floor-to-ceiling windows, focused on the backs of the two, and raised his eyebrows harshly: Wei Lin... is actually not too stupid, and the timing of the cut and the content of the performance are well coordinated.

The next thing is to see how Wei Lin adapts to the situation and plays on the spot. It is best to break down Li Minxing's defensive psychology and gain as much trust as possible before he comes to the door again.

——You know, in the inner world of a paranoid patient, gaining trust is not an easy task.

Distorted and stubborn beliefs, morbid reasoning and judgment, and self-contained logical levels make the delusion world hard to break, and it is jokingly called "absolute domain" by delusion masters.

Therefore, the delusion-breaking masters usually work in groups of two and cooperate.Among them, the person with stronger mental power is responsible for resisting the rejection and suppression of intruders by the rules of the delusional world, and solving various dangers and emergencies; There is a logical loophole.

The higher the degree of cooperation between the two, the faster they can find the breakthrough point and collapse the "Absolute Domain"; and the longer the delay, the greater the possibility of the "fall" of consciousness.

Although they didn't discuss it with each other, Bai Yuan chose to become a rule resister casually, and left the task of approaching the target to Wei Lin.

In terms of mental strength, he has absolute confidence in himself. As for Wei Lin... Well, as long as he can successfully fool Li Minxing, he will not be considered as a hindrance.
