Stendhal Syndrome [Entertainment]

"Mr. Xu," Mo Ci opened the door and came in to shake hands with him and sat down. He already knew last time that the other party didn't like people calling him Dr. Xu.

"Mr. Mo Ci, did you find anything during your visit this time?"

Mo Ci leaned against the back of the chair, crossed his legs, looked a little lazy, with a smile on his face, "Indeed, I have some discoveries."

"Would you like to share it with me? Since the last time I met you, I have seriously doubted myself once." Xu Linduan adjusted his glasses, his voice was very telling, and his tone was pleasant. Just for talking to people.

"Then did you find anything?" Mo Ci asked him back.

Xu Linduan sighed, "No, you know, I've been 'here' all the time, if there's something wrong with 'here', it's really a matter for me to rebuild without excessively compromising my world view and find the illogical place Difficult. But you should have discovered it, and I would like to hear what you have to say."

"I've been casting for my new movie these days. To verify, I didn't choose the female artist I chose 'over there' for a female role. I plan to change it."

"You want more people to audition?"

"Yeah." Mo Ci nodded, his brows and eyes were fiery, "After all, I know this circle best, so it's a good thing to be sure in it, but I did get what I wanted—evidence."

"You met a woman who shouldn't be there?"

Mo Ci raised his eyebrows, "How did you come up with this answer?"

"Didn't we discuss it before? Based on the logical bottom line of limited human imagination, there is no way to judge whether it is unfamiliar or not. The people you pass by and the information you accidentally read are all in your memory, but It’s just that you can’t remember it yourself. So the stranger you think may be just a recombination of irrelevant forms of people you met. There is no way to do what you think. At least I don’t think you will try to prove your correctness. Forced self-comfort, so it can only be a woman who shouldn't be there, right?"

"Of course," Mo Ci raised the corners of his lips, "I met a female artist named Li Xiaoran. In your 'here', she seems to be a well-known actress."

"Sorry, I don't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, so I don't know much about it," Xu Linduan said.

"It's okay." Mo Ci turned on his phone and searched, then pushed it in front of Xu Linduan, "Here is her Baidu Encyclopedia."

Xu Linduan looked at it, "There's nothing wrong with that. I think she's only acted in some online dramas with a relatively modest investment. It's normal for a big director like you not to know her 'over there'."

"Her name is Li Xiaoran. She graduated from Linchuan Middle School in high school and went to Linchuan University in college. She signed a small company when she was a sophomore. She filmed a web drama "The Age of Fallen Light" in her junior year, playing the role of the third female lead. , the character design is good, so it was considered a small hit, and then climbed into the director's relationship and became the female lead of another web drama "The Best World". But I still know more, than Baidu Encyclopedia knows More. Also in college, he participated in the bullying of a girl. Although he was not the main perpetrator, the girl died in the end. This girl had a pen pal abroad named Lin Xu, When he returned to China later, he found out about these things, and after killing the five main bullies, he was discovered by the psychologist Gu Yige and finally chose to commit suicide."

Xu Linduan frowned slightly, "This is behind..."

"That's right, the following is the plot of the first movie I made, "Light and Shadow." Mo Ci raised a hand, resting his forearm on the back of the chair, "Li Xiaoran is actually one of the 'law does not blame the public'. One, but she wasn't in that one movie. She was in another screenplay I wrote, and I did a portrait of her and cast her three years later."

When Mo Ci said this, he paused, leaned forward, and put his arms on the table, "The most exciting thing is that Li Xiaoran's repertoire and life history here are exactly the same as what I wrote 'over there', Dressing style too, and she has the exact same face as the actor I chose."

"It's getting more and more interesting." Xu Linduan raised his hand to touch the face of Li Xiaoran on the phone screen, "It's even a little creepy."

"It should be said to be very exciting."

"Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too exciting. For example, the other characters in your "Light and Shadow" didn't appear here, did they?"

"Yeah, that's why there is a problem." Mo Ci raised a hand and tapped his temple with his index finger, "If I were to say it, because of the change of my own subjective choice, my brain had to choose more However, because I was thinking about the specific situation of the role of Li Xiaoran when I was 'over there', when I created her, I saw her as a real person, and during that time I really I thought about her specific role. It should be because of this reason that my thinking was deceived by myself, and I thought she really existed and was an actor, so I chose her to audition when I had no choice."

Xu Linduan understood his words, "So you think that it's your empathy as a director that deceived your consciousness, so it accidentally arranged Li Xiaoran's appearance in 'here'."

Mo Ci shrugged, "That's how it sums up."

"I can accept this statement, but I think you should go to a neurologist or some related doctor or specialist for consultation."

"No need, after all, few people have my experience, even experts."

Xu Linduan folded his arms on the table, "So I have a secret with you?"

Mo Ci thought of Yu Chu because of the word "common secret". If the other party knew that he and other people had such a common secret, he would probably be jealous again.

"You should have such a secret with many people, this is the particularity of the profession."

"It's different. I only like wonderful secrets. There is no need to collect those mediocre distortions, morbidity, and selfishness and indifference that are already engraved in human nature."

Mo Ci raised his eyebrows, "Although I don't know your industry well, this kind of words shouldn't be something that a psychological counselor can say, right?"

"You can think of it as a secret exchange, and there will be exchanges, so that you won't worry about me letting others discover or know your secret."

"I'm not worried about that." Mo Ci didn't like other people's "reading" of his psychology and thoughts. "What's more, there should be professional standards and laws and regulations to manage this aspect, right?"

"Okay, maybe I'm thinking too much." Xu Linduan pushed down his glasses, and Mo Ci saw that his glasses had a cold light from the reflection, "However, isn't it a good thing that I am such a counselor? After all, if you were doing someone else in front of you, Mr. Mo Ci, you would have been diagnosed with a strong delusional disorder long ago, and this is not among the dozen or so typical classifications. In addition, this is a mental illness, which can be cured by me alone No, after all, I can’t prescribe risperidone and sulpiride, I can only do some cognitive behavioral therapy.”

"You wouldn't do that."

"So you don't need to be so wary of me, whether it's because of your own personality characteristics or the special treatment you give to others." When he said this, Xu Linduan emphasized the last sentence.

"It is because of you that I am vigilant." Mo Ci's eyes were sharp.

Xu Linduan spread his hands, a little helpless, "Even if honesty is not a virtue, at least it shouldn't be a mistake, right?"

"It's uncertain."

Xu Linduan took the initiative to truce. Compared with these, he wanted to know something else. "The question of whether there is virtue in the world is left to philosophers. Let's discuss something else, which is more useful to you."

"can."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?" Mo Ci asked.

"In your logic, this is an illusion, isn't it? But you have verified this point but still haven't gone back, so you haven't thought about a worse result, which is...you on the 'over there'— already dead."

Xu Linduan smiled, his eyes were clean and innocent, "It's impossible for you to go back."

Mo Ci laughed, with a sense of sharpness, "I thought you were going to truce, but you started again, Doctor Xu, this is not a good habit."

"It's over, I'm calling Dr. Xu, it seems that you are really angry." The corners of Xu Linduan's mouth rose a little more, "I'm just assuming the possibility, isn't it true that we didn't do this last time?"

"I think you're just trying to satisfy your curiosity."

"It was discovered." Xu Linduan sighed, "But you should think about it, right? If you stay here forever, you need to face this. What kind of attitude should you take in this world that you thought was just an illusion face."

Only now did Mo Ci fall silent, and Xu Linduan was not in a hurry, he glanced at the clock hanging beside him, and then counted the time in his mind.

It is now 33:[-]:[-] Pingjing time.

Well.

It was already 26:[-]:[-] Pingjing time.

"What if it were you? What would you do?"

"Me?" Xu Linduan was suddenly asked back, and he paused before saying, "I'm different from you. I have nothing to miss, so it doesn't matter where I stay. And..."

Mo Ci saw the light flashing in Xu Linduan's eyes, and then heard him say—"Besides, if it was me, I would have already died once anyway, why don't we... let's start a killing spree."

Mo Ci raised his chin forward, "Your words really sound like an anti-social personality, and, again, I may not be dead."

"Wouldn't it be worse for a brain-dead vegetative person? Besides, I'm just talking, after all, not everyone has your experience." Xu Linduan said, "So, if you really can't go back, what are you going to do? manage?"

"I......"

Many things flashed through Mo Ci's mind.

"I'll figure it out."

That's what he said at last.
