365 Difficult Ways To Live

Hu Bin turned on the laptop, and the computer-generated photo was displayed on the screen connected to it. The "man everyone dreams of" has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks benevolent.

"According to Jung's psychoanalytic theory," Hubin began to explain, "this man is interpreted as a typical image, which is hidden in the collective subconscious of people. Under certain circumstances, this image will be evoked. For example, a work of art can activate a certain part of the collective subconscious of human beings, so that we can feel, see or hear the image of the deep source of human beings, and reflect it in dreams.”

Chu Yu understood in seconds: "You mean that some faces are symbolic and can arouse the reaction of most people in the collective. For example, the face of this man appears in the dreams of many mentally ill patients."

"Yes," Hu Bin nodded, "inspired by this, we made this speculation. After two weeks of hospital examination and research, we couldn't find any abnormalities in the 710 patient. Maybe she can make other patients insane, Out of control, not due to physical factors that can be examined, but some abstract, subconscious reason."

After hearing this, Chu Yu raised the corners of his mouth and laughed, nodded, and leaned back on the sofa chair, seeming to agree, but also disapproving.

"So we suspect that the face of the 710 patient has some kind of symbolic meaning, which can generate a stimulus response in the brain of the mentally ill patient, causing abnormal post-synaptic potentials in the apical dendrites of the pyramidal cells, leading to insanity."

Chu Yu pointed to the photo on the screen, "This is a public face, so it can be explained by the collective subconscious mind, or it can be a psychological suggestion. Maybe many people have never seen this man in their dreams, but they just heard about it by accident. This incident, I saw the picture of this face again, and I dreamed about him afterwards. But the 710 patient... Do you think her face has any common features?"

"I have to admit that she is very delicate, and she is the patient who impressed me the most. Her facial features are pleasing to the eye, but maybe it constitutes some kind of hint and stimulates the mentally ill."

"But after I came, it was calm. How do you explain this?"

Hu Bin clicked the mouse, and the picture on the screen jumped to the next one.It was a surveillance screenshot, the picture was clear, Chu Yu and Xia Yihan were standing together, the two beautiful faces were in the same frame, it looked harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

"Maybe it's your appearance that balances the visual impact of the 710 patient's face, because you always appear in pairs, so when other patients see her, they also see you at the same time. After half a month, I have already adapted to her face, so there will be no abnormal reactions anymore."

Chu Yu twitched the corners of his lips, and stopped for a moment when he wanted to speak.This sounded like Xia Yihan was so beautiful that he drove the other patients crazy?Then she appeared, fighting poison with poison, and balanced Xia Yihan's beauty. Since then, beauty and beauty have been shared, and the world is peaceful.

Going crazy in a psychiatric hospital sounds nonsense enough. With such an explanation, Chu Yu felt that her three views based on "atheism" had been shaken. She has always held a scientific attitude, although she also believes that many things cannot be explained scientifically. , but to convince her, there must be sufficient evidence that she cannot refute.

But now the explanation given by Hu Bin is obviously not up to standard.

"I'm sorry, Dean Hu, I don't accept this statement." Chu Yu smiled and shook his head, with his own guess in mind.

Hu Bin scratched his head. After half a month of burning, the few strands of hair fell down, and he made a concerted effort to warn him of the pressure.But he couldn't help it, Xia Yihan's condition was not clear, he couldn't sleep well, and discussed and researched with other doctors day and night, they read the case files at home and abroad, looking for precedents.

The hospital first suspected that Xia Yihan whispered irritating words to other mental patients, but it turned out that she didn't say anything. Before Chu Yu came, she couldn't speak easily, and she didn't even utter a single punctuation mark.

Later, it was speculated that Xia Yihan used her eyes to hint at other people, such as staring at the other person, causing the other person to feel fearful, but the surveillance shows that she always avoids eye contact with others, and even if she looks at others, she quietly takes advantage of the unpreparedness look.

In the end, the doctors didn't give up, and boldly suspected that Xia Yihan secreted a certain substance and gave off a smell. Mental patients would have a physiological reaction after smelling it, but the physical examination report told the angels in white that they were thinking too much.

Now, I finally had a seemingly reasonable guess, but before it could bear fruit, it was rejected by Chu Yu after I verified it with practice.

Hoobin felt his surviving hair, once again in jeopardy.

"I'm not saying that your guess is illogical. If I hadn't been in contact with 710 patients, I might agree with your guess." Seeing Dean Hu's expression of eating peppercorns, Chu Yu showed mercy and comforted the two. sentence.

"However, I have been in contact with her for a few days, and I have a better understanding of her situation. I may not be able to answer the specific reasons now, but I can assure you that there must be something wrong with the 710 patient, and she deliberately It’s not for objective reasons like the subconscious level.”

Seeing that Chu Yu was so sure, Hu Bin raised hope again, "How are you sure she did it on purpose?"

"Feeling," Chu Yu narrowed his eyes, recalling the scene when he first met Xia Yihan, "it's the feeling."

In fact, the specific reasons are easy to come by, such as Xia Yihan's indifferent and aggressive temperament when we met for the first time, for example, she transformed into a passionate and clingy sweetheart later, for example, she always avoided targeted questions, Avoid prying eyes on your inner world...

There are too many examples, but Chu Yu doesn't want to break them apart and explain them to pieces. She wants to wait until she is completely sure and understands the cause and effect before holding a medical conference and explaining the details to the doctors.

"But, while you're sure there's something wrong with her, you can't prove it, can you?"

Hu Bin languished again, feeling that the words had gone full circle and come back again.

"It can be confirmed," Chu Yu said calmly, but his eyes were extremely determined, "I originally wanted to use conventional methods, but now it seems that I am at the end of my rope. If this is the case, it is time for unconventional methods to come in handy .”

Hearing her words, Hu Bin swallowed hard, and couldn't help reminding, "Chu Chu, we don't like to use torture here."

Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry."

After finishing speaking, she pushed back her long hair in the shawl, stood up, and walked out of the pace of a master torturer.

……

In the ward, a bouquet of lilies was inserted, so white and spotless, it was like the patient's skin in the room, even if the light shone on it, it would accidentally slip.

Looking at Xia Yihan's translucent white skin, Chu Yu felt excited. She could find out right away, what kind of inner world was wrapped under this almost flawless skin

"Sister, you said that there will be rewards. Now three days are up, and it's time to draw the lottery!" Xia Yihan's eyes are very spiritual, especially when she talks, staring at the other person intently, as if the other person is her whole world, which makes people feel amazing Appreciate the compliment.

Chu Yu likes her eyes, but is wary of her eyes all the time, like facing a piece of freshly baked French bread, wanting to taste it to his heart's content, but afraid of being too hot and burning his skin, so he had to keep a distance and wait patiently.

She really hoped that Xia Yihan was not a piece of hot bread, but a bowl of millet porridge at room temperature, so that she could taste it with confidence.

Chu Yu poured a glass of lemonade. In the past three days, she was obsessed with Xia Yihan... the puzzles on her body, and she didn't have the heart to eat. In front of Xia Yihan, she pretended to eat a few mouthfuls. When she was alone, she had no time to take care of "food and clothing" ", so rely on this jug of lemonade to continue my life.

At this moment, she handed the life-continuing water to Xia Yihan, with frowned eyebrows and a gentle smile, "Okay, the lottery will be drawn right away, what are you expecting?"

Xia Yihan looked at the shards of lemon in the glass, rolled his eyes in his sockets, "Could it be this glass of yellow water, it's sour, it's not good!"

Chu Yu tore open the sugar bag that he carried with him, and shook it lightly into the cup, "I know you like sweet food, so I asked for sugar from the cafeteria. Now it's sweet and sour, and the taste is great!"

Xia Yihan put the cup on the table, "That's a glass of water, I don't want this reward."

Chu Yu propped his chin, looked at her, couldn't stop the smile from his lips, "Then what do you want?"

"I want a kiss from my sister!" Xia Yihan straightened up, speaking seriously.

Chu Yu picked up the glass, took a sip, and kissed her, leaving her grapefruit-colored lip marks on it.She pushed the cup to Xia Yihan, and smiled mysteriously, "I ask Comrade Xiaobei to convey the kiss for me, is that okay?"

Xia Yihan held the cup in both hands, held it up, looked at it for a while, and then took a sip.

"This glass of water is my sister's promise of love!"

Chu Yu chuckled, and really sent her away with a glass of water, this kid is so foolish.

"How about it, does it taste different?"

Xia Yihan took another sip, savored it for a while, then nodded seriously, "Yeah! It's delicious."

Chu Yu checked the time, stood up, dimmed the lights, and then sat back opposite Xia Yihan, staring at her.

Her voice was very soft, as if the volume was turned down, but it enhanced the texture of the voice, "Does it look like you are lying on the beach and drinking cold coconut water?"

Xia Yihan nodded, "Like."

"Is it like a rubber raft floating on the endless ocean, with the waves going up and down, you lie on the raft and drink pure water?"

Xia Yihan's eyes were half-opened and half-closed, his eyelashes flickered, and he nodded.

"The sea is very calm, there is no wind and no sun. You lie on the raft and float slowly. You close your eyes and feel the boat drifting silently. Occasionally there are seagulls in your ears. At first you You smell the salty smell that is unique to the ocean, but after floating in the sea for a long time, you are used to this smell, you feel cool under your body, and the sea water penetrates the rubber pad, soaking your back."

Xia Yihan closed her eyes, leaned gently on the back of the chair, her face was quiet and peaceful, like a traveler on vacation on the beach, without any disturbance.

Behind her, the medicinal powder in the lily volatilized little by little. It was colorless and odorless, and the breath invaded every inch of air in the room.

"The raft has been floating for a long time. I don't know how long it has been. Because there is no sun on the sea, and you have no reference. You can see the blue water all around. If you look down, you can't see the fish, you can't see it. Corals, no aquatic life can be seen, and the seagulls above the head also disappeared, and I don’t know where they flew.”

Xia Yihan frowned, and fine lines formed between his brows.

Chu Yu turned into a narrator, pulling the other party's thoughts with a soft and steady voice like an invisible thread.

"The sun didn't appear, and the sky didn't get dark. It was cloudy all the time. The raft floated aimlessly. An island gradually appeared on the sea level. The raft slowly docked and ran aground. You sat up, Leaning out your upper body, you can’t see the scene on the island clearly, you go on the island and walk to the depths of the island on foot, the things on the island seem to slowly emerge from the fog and gradually become clear, what’s there?”

Xia Yihan still had his eyes closed, but his lips parted, "Many old houses, dilapidated ones that are about to be demolished."

"What's around the house?"

"A lot of flowers, the fluttering Sophora japonica, fell all over the ground."

"What's in the house?"

Xia Yihan's eyelashes trembled violently, and his eyes rolled, "A man, lying on the bed."

"who's that person?"

Suddenly, Xia Yihan's eyes opened, and at the same time, he grabbed Chu Yu's wrist.

A strong force spread from the wrist, and Chu Yu gasped in pain. She felt that she was being held by an iron clamp, and she couldn't break free at all.

In the severe pain, she and Xia Yihan's eyes met, and there was another wave of chills - Xia Yihan sat upright, holding her wrist with one hand, expressionless, his eyes were empty, without any warmth in his eyes, as if It was an abyss, and any gaze that fell into her eyes would be wiped out without any response.

Chu Yu resisted the pain and didn't cry out. She felt that if the other party exerted more strength, her hand bones would be broken immediately.
