black abyss

Bai Nian didn't need a long sleep in a day, and he woke up at four o'clock in the morning the next day.

Chi waited for the buttons of his pajamas to be undone last night, and he slept with his upper body naked.

When he woke up, seeing the pajamas thrown aside, his face smelled a little more.

Last night, he suppressed his displeasure so that Chiwai could maintain a coherent and effective memory of the word "Xiaobai".

The conclusion is that the effect is not bad.

In the state where the mental body cannot be manifested, Chiwai will be unable to control himself. Once the spirit is excited, he will show a non-human animal state.

"Back to ancestors?" Bai Nian turned on the lamp beside his bed, put on his glasses, and sat on the bedside flipping through the information on the tablet.

A large part of the first group of "psychopaths" in human beings were classified as symptoms of schizophrenia.

In Bai Nian Brain's database, among the materials he had consulted were interviews with the family members of these patients.

The family members claim that the symptoms of these "psychopaths" are indeed very similar to schizophrenia at first glance. Their emotions are chaotic and changeable, and they have disclosed to their friends and relatives around them that they perceive things that others cannot see or perceive .

The records of these initial "psychopaths" are scarce, and most of them are treated as patients in mental hospitals for routine recording and treatment.

And the treatment information of these routine patients has become a series of inconspicuous numbers over time.

Aiwen University, where Bai Nian worked for several years, was once the largest mental hospital in Lille.

It actually has some past patient data in its database.

However, there are still some routine treatment records in the data. A few short diagnosis and treatment records contain basic information such as the patient's name and age, the amount of medication used today, and the patient's symptoms.

This information is not very helpful for Bai Nian.

He couldn't have a detailed understanding of the group of people at that time and the specific content of their so-called "illusion".

But what is a little funny is that there was an interesting message in the database of Aiwen University as a mental hospital.

At a regular meeting of a mental hospital, a doctor severely reprimanded the media at that time for making fun of the suffering of mental patients.

And the only reason why this information was recorded was because the doctor who scolded others was the aunt of the later Dr. Ivan.

The researcher insisted that Dr. Irwin's respect for life was influenced by her family environment, and also cited the example of her aunt speaking for mental patients in the hospital.

Bai Nian's brain was stuck on the message of "blame the media".

He tapped the screen of the tablet lightly with his fingertips, and the information he had memorized was running rapidly in his mind.

Because the brain was thinking too fast, a little jellyfish popped out of his head with a bang.

Bai Nian was not distracted, and was still rapidly searching thousands of pieces of information in his brain.

Then the memory flashed to a certain day, when he was in the library of Aiwen University, he read a book "Dr. Aiwen and the Origin of the Guide Sentinel" in his spare time.

The self in his memory moved his fingers very quickly across the pages of the book, paused on page No. 13, moved his fingers up slowly, and stopped on a sentence that had been annotated.

It read "Dr. Irvine's character is deeply influenced by her family, including her aunt who once worked in the Lille Mental Hospital".

"Aunt" is followed by a note.

【严蕊（2198年-2251年）2221年从里尔大学毕业后到屋巢镇做实习精神科医生，2223年转入里尔精神病院，直到2244年主动离职。

】The memory of the white year is like a finger moving between the two years of 2223 and 2244.

He knew that Aiwen graduated with a doctorate at the age of 2233 in 24 and went directly to work in the Lille Mental Hospital, so Yan Rui angrily denounced the media at the meeting must have happened before Aiwen entered the hospital.

Bai Nian's memory froze, the jellyfish that had drilled out of his brain was wrapping around his wrist, and its tentacles were wrapping around his hand one by one, like a beautiful ornament.

Bai Nian didn't care about his mental body. He opened the browser to search and determined that he only needed to find reports about the Lille Mental Hospital between 2223 and 2233.

Bai Nian entered a few keywords into the browser.

Relevant information was searched overwhelmingly.

Most of the stories are sociologists' analysis of the reasons for the increasing number of social mental illnesses at that time, from the perspectives of economy, politics, and environment.

Frowning, Bai Nian turned over these self-talking sociologists. His eyes browsed very quickly, and his fingers flipped back page by page.

The jellyfish wrapped around his arm seemed to be infected by his concentration, standing upright with its tentacles, floating in front of the rapidly flipping tablet screen.

Turning to the year in the first half of 2229, a lot of news about mental patients suddenly appeared in the news.

Bai Nian's twitching fingers slowed down, and the general headlines of many news joked that today, with too much mental pressure, he also wants to be admitted to a mental hospital.

Then Bai Nian turned to a title.

——"With so much social pressure today, I also want to live in a mental hospital and fantasize that I am a kitten" This news is from the April 2229 issue of "Lille Daily Talk".

The content is full of ridicule, saying that they unannounced visits to the patients in the Lille Mental Hospital, and wanted to help the public understand whether they would live a better life if they became a mental patient immediately.

He also joked that these patients were admitted to mental hospitals in a fit of anger because they had difficulty receiving the subsidies promised to the public by the government.

Later, I found out that the mental hospital was simply a paradise on earth, and the beautiful nurses would feed food into their mouths with their own hands.

And the only thing they have to do to stay in the mental hospital is to tell the psychiatrist that I am a kitten.

It also shared several cases, most of which said that they perceived things that others could not perceive.

The key point is to describe one of the patients vividly and vividly.

The patient told the interviewer that one day when he opened his eyes, he found a braised crucian carp hidden under his pillow, but he himself was completely unaware of how this fish appeared under his pillow.

The patient said that he woke up on the pillow and found the fish only when he saw the oozing soup.

The patient also said that he had some recent changes, such as sleeping in the ward and suddenly seeing a flying bug, he would suddenly become emotional, and even wished he could fly over to play with the bug immediately.

At the end of the news, the reporter who interviewed joked that he might be a kitten, and he would even be frightened by his own tail when he dreamed back at midnight.

Bai Nian tapped this message with his fingers, he was in a happy mood, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Even the jellyfish in front of him danced happily in the air several times.

This proves that the direction of his thinking is not wrong. Those "psychopaths" who were initially treated as mental patients may indeed have a "kitten" in their bodies that is not under their control.

——Just like Chiwai now, there is a wild animal in his body that he doesn't know and can't control.

Bai Nian reached out and touched his chin, then reached out and grabbed the jellyfish wandering in front of him. The jellyfish shrank its tentacles, and then disappeared into Bai Nian's palm.

After Bai Nian retrieved the information, the clock by the bed just hit five o'clock.

He stretched on the bed, then took off the glasses he was wearing on his eyes.

He got out of bed, put on his slippers, found his new pajamas in the closet, put them on, and opened the curtains of his bedroom.

He sat on the sofa next to the bed for a while.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of his bedroom are facing the flower garden in his own courtyard, and the rhododendrons in the flower garden are in full bloom.

Sitting on the single sofa, Bai Nian stared silently at the rhododendron for a while.

The summer cuckoo is blooming in the courtyard at the moment, the corolla is huge and colorful, making his garden look vibrant.

The rubbish that was brought late yesterday was still lying on the ground in the yard, and the light at five o'clock in the morning made the yard look like a layer of mist.

Bai Nian reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, then picked up the tablet that was placed aside.

He clicked on the software connected to Chiwai's neck collar on the tablet, wanting to observe Chiwai's sleep and breathing conditions.

After clicking on it, he saw the ups and downs of several lines, and he raised his eyebrows.

——He didn’t sleep all night.

Bai Nian picked up a pen to record.

【2331年9月27-2331年10月3日实验第一周】【实验对象（代号小白）一夜未眠。

The respiratory rate is normal, there is no noise at night, and the mood is relatively stable. There is a slight fluctuation in the spirit around five o'clock in the morning.

】After Bai Nian finished writing, he picked up the tablet and walked out of his bedroom. Since it showed that he hadn't slept all night, there must be no problem of disturbing his work and rest.

After Bai Nian opened the door, he saw Chiwai lying on the sofa, and he was stunned for a while.

Then his eyes without glasses lit up.

When Bai Nian seldom showed such emotions, it was just that what he saw when he went out was so exciting that he hadn't seen it for a long time.

Bai Nian lay flat on the sofa with his eyes closed, the air-conditioning blanket that was given to him yesterday was draped across his thighs and lower abdomen, and the pajamas that he tore yesterday was hugging his chest at this moment, he was always sleeping. Arms crossed chest, like a sculpture trapped on the sofa.

At the moment, a thick snake's tail was wrapped around his leg, protruding from the thin blanket he was covering with. The length and width of the snake's tail made Bai Nian feel that it might even be a giant python with a length of more than ten meters.

The snake tail, which was almost as thick as the thigh, was wrapped around Chi Waiting's legs, and then it went out with the ankle around the end of the sofa, and then circled back from the floor, and finally curled up on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Bai Nian turned on the tablet calmly and recorded the information.

[The spiritual body is a giant python that may be more than ten meters long.

Emerged from the body early on the second day of the experiment】Bai Nian put his pen against his chin, stared at Chi Wait for a moment lying on the sofa, and added a small note—[Incomplete mental body] "Snake?" Bai Nian After recording, he raised his eyes and looked over again, always feeling that this mental body was a bit out of tune with the other party.

"How could it be a snake?" Bai Nian frowned, and he only expressed his dislike of reptiles until yesterday.

The mental body is the external concrete manifestation of the mental power of the brain, and it cannot be a species that one hates.

What's more - although Chiwai didn't sleep all night, the environment made him extremely relaxed.

Moreover, the pain in the brain that lasted for half a month disappeared, and his nerves were able to keenly capture all the small details in the room.

The living room was lit with headlights all night, making the night extremely bright.

As the night fell, the noisy surroundings also gradually became smaller.

He could hear the sound of water droplets rolling in the water pipe, and the flapping of the wings of insects outside the yard. These tiny sounds were amplified infinitely at night.

He heard the "squeak" sound of the mattress when Bai Nian turned over from the bedroom.

Chi Wait closed his eyes, reached out and picked up the Bai Nian's pajamas that he had thrown down from the ground, and hugged him to his chest.

He folded his arms around his chest, lying almost peacefully.

Until he heard clear footsteps, the door of Bai Nian's bedroom was opened.

Chi waited quietly with his eyes closed for a while, then he opened them.

Frightened by the scene in front of him, he jumped up from the sofa on the spot.

He cursed in surprise, and quickly jumped up from the sofa, while the tail of the snake followed his movements like a shadow, wagging its tail.

He beat up everything in Bai Nian's living room, as if he had just encountered a violent typhoon.

Bai Nian stood on the spot with a sullen face, watching Chiwai scurrying around the living room like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

His spiritual body indeed showed more than half of the snake's tail, protruding from his tailbone, it looked like he had a weird snake's tail on his body.

Chi Wait seemed unable to get rid of the long snake tail, his body muscles quickly entered the fighting state again, his five fingers tensed, and he jumped up from the ground trying to catch the snake's dangling long tail with his hands.

"noob."

Bai Nian shouted, and tapped the metal back of the tablet lightly with a pen.

Chiwai's figure in mid-air paused for a moment, and then there was another face covered with dark clouds to pinch the writhing snake tail. At this moment, his spirit was tense, as if all five senses were concentrated on the snake that suddenly appeared. On the tail of the snake.

[At 2331:9:28 am on September 39, [-], I saw half of my mental body, and then lost control of my mind and entered a state of excited preparations. Calling the word "Xiaobai" was invalid once.

】 Bai Nian lowered his eyes to record the information in silence.

Chi Wait's figure passed in front of him as fast as lightning, and then the tail of the snake flashed in front of his eyes.

Bai Nian moved back slightly to avoid the tail of the snake that almost fell on him. After writing the last word, he took out the collar controller that Chi waited for from his pocket.

He pressed the power button, pressed the low gear mode, and then raised his right wrist to stare at the movement of the second hand of the watch on his wrist.

1, 2, 3... Bai Nian heard a "boom", like a loud noise from a giant object falling on the floor.

Bai Nian stared at the second hand on his watch without changing his expression.

At the sixth second, the slumped creature groaned in pain.

Bai Nian looked up and saw that most of the snake tail that suddenly appeared in Chiwai's body had disappeared.

Chi waited curled up and covered his head: "Teacher Bai, I was wrong."

He spat out a staccato moan.

Bai Nian turned off the collar controller, and he walked up to Chi Waiting.

"What we said yesterday, have you forgotten?" Bai Nian lowered his eyes, looking at Chiwai who was huddled on the ground covered in sweat.

After a long 30 seconds passed, he stretched out his body on the floor, and he lay flat on the ground in the shape of a large character.

The floor was wet with his sweat, showing a ring of water marks.

Chi Wait raised his right hand to Bai Nian: "Teacher Bai, I can't get up, give me a pull."

Bai Nian looked at him indifferently.

Chiwai held up his right hand very persistently, his voice was unnaturally hoarse because of the stimulation just now: "Pull it, Teacher Bai."

Bai Nian still looked at him expressionlessly.

He withdrew his fingers after waiting for a while, put two fingers on his forehead, made a salute gesture, and said in a strange voice: "Last night you said that when you called me like a dog, "little When I'm white', I have to answer you with 'woof', or you will punish me, just like you did just now."

Bai Nian paused, then sneered, "Your comprehension is pretty good."

Chi waited for the two fingers that were on the forehead, and slowly raised them up with Bai Nian's voice.

"Teacher Bai, give me a pull."

Wait a minute.

Bai Nian stretched out his hand, and Chi waited slightly to raise his head. He stretched out his fingers and hooked them, hooking a few fingers that Bai Nian stretched out, and then he stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Nian's palm.

His hands were slightly damp from sweat, while Bai Nian's palms were dry.

After clasping his hands together, Chi waited for some strength in his waist and abdomen, and he used the strength of Bai Nian's arms to pull himself up from the ground.

"Teacher Bai."

He stood up and looked at Bai Nian for a moment, then he opened his mouth and showed a slightly malicious smile.

Bai Nian frowned slightly, and waited to let go of the hand he was holding with Bai Nian.

Before Bai Nian could react, he raised his hands and leaned forward slightly.

He stretched out his arms and hugged Bai Nian, wrapped his arms around Bai Nian's waist, and said close to Bai Nian's ear, "Teacher Bai, as a lesson for my disobedience, I will tell you a secret."

"I'm afraid of snakes."

Wait a minute.
