Chapter 242 No Pain

On Saturday morning, Liu Dandan grabbed a vegetable bun and a meat bun and came to the Psychosomatic Clinic to report.

"You don't have to work in the internal medicine department on Saturdays. From now on, you will be on duty in the physical and mental department. You can go back to school until May next year." Liu Dandan said to Muchun while eating steamed buns.

"Oh, grab the patient."

Mu Chun replied, his face still covered with the book "The Good Doctor's Starry Sea", looking bored.

"Teacher, have you figured out the red room murder incident?" Liu asked lightly.

"No, there is one issue that needs to be confirmed. Once the confirmation is completed, it will be almost done. The key to this matter is not in the red room. Seven people need to be hypnotized at the same time. I have not met anyone in the world who can do this. However, if he had made some preparations in the early stage, the entire hypnosis process might last for days, weeks, or even months, and what happened in the red room was just the end of the hypnosis.

Do you know about the Silgard experiment? The content of this experiment is very simple, but the results are very thought-provoking. In the experiment, Silgard, as a doctor, put the subjects into a hypnotic state. After confirming that the subjects had been hypnotized, Silgard told the subjects: Subject: 'You won't feel any pain in your left hand. ’ After the subject accepted this suggestion, Silgard put the subject’s left hand into ice water.

Under normal circumstances, a subject's hand will cause an unbearable stinging sensation after entering the ice water for a few seconds.

If the subject was asked to verbally answer whether he felt a tingling sensation in his left hand, his answer would be 'no pain'.

But if he puts his right hand on the button and is told that if he feels pain in his left hand, then press the button with his right hand. It was found that although the subject verbally reported no tingling sensation, his right hand pressed the button. Silgard concluded from this that in the hypnotic state, the painlessness of verbal responses is produced under hypnotic suggestion, and his conscious experience is distorted and distorted. The behavior of pressing the button with the right hand expresses the subject's own feelings and is real. This experiment shows that under hypnosis, consciousness is indeed divided into two.

The first level of consciousness is the suggestion given by the hypnotist to the hypnotized person. This experience may be distorted and unreal, such as [ice water does not hurt], [cutting the wrist does not hurt], etc., at the same time, this suggestion Consciousness at this level can still communicate with the outside world. The second level of consciousness is the true feelings of the hypnotized person, but it is hidden under the first level of consciousness guided by the hypnotist. Silgard also gave this second level of consciousness a very interesting name, called "Hidden Observer".

In fact, many people have experienced this experience of consciousness being separated into two. For example, after driving a long distance, people suddenly cannot recall how they safely returned from the highway to ordinary roads. What were the car swaps, lane changes, and traffic lights like? Can't recall it at all. In this example, the consciousness is clearly divided, with one part used to drive and the other part used to think about other things. This common experience seems to be called "highway hypnosis."

[It doesn’t hurt to cut your wrists] If it is a hint given, then these girls can indeed be allowed to wait quietly in the red room to die, but how can all seven girls accept this hint at the same time? This is question 1 and I roughly found the answer.

There is also question 2, why when you and Fang Ming went to Zhinan Affiliated to see those girls, the girl said that she was just playing the glass-breaking game? "

Liu calmly swallowed the last bite of the vegetable buns, drank two more sips of mineral water, and said hurriedly: "That's not simple. These two things were all hinted by Sing Singyu to the seven girls under hypnosis."

"This is the doubt that I have been thinking about all day. Because this matter is too difficult." After finishing speaking, Muchun closed the book and turned his head to the side in aggrieved manner, with his head drooped on the table.

"What's the difficulty? Is it because there are so many people?" Liu Dandan decided to eat the meat buns together. If a patient came at eight o'clock, he would not have time to eat.

Of course this is impossible! The business of mind and body department is bleak!

"Let's temporarily assume that [hypnosis] or even [mass hypnosis] occurred in the red room is true. Then there is a wall in front of us - not everyone can be hypnotized, and hypnosis is not for everyone. They are all effective, and the degree of effectiveness is different. How does Ting Lingyu know what method to use to hypnotize these seven people at the same time will definitely be effective? "

Liu Dandan looked at Mu Chun stupidly and put the meat back into the paper bag. Liu Dandan lost his appetite, just like in high school class, the math teacher suddenly took out a competition question, stood on the podium and said, "This question, I Guess only two people in the class can solve it."

Liu Dandan quickly finished reviewing the questions and found that she was the one who couldn't answer the question. She instantly felt that there was nothing worth loving in this world.

"It should be said that it is impossible for ordinary people to do it under ordinary circumstances."

When Mu Chun said this, Liu Dandan breathed a sigh of relief, "But didn't he do it? Two died, and five others said they had nothing to do with him."

"Although it is impossible to hypnotize seven girls at the same time in the red room, this matter can happen earlier and be more prepared."

Liu Dandan's shoulders trembled and he sniffed, "Why does it sound like - the deceased was already dead before this?"

"That's the feeling. These seven people didn't just meet in the group and suddenly thought of meeting this Singyu Li during a drinking party. These seven people were carefully selected by Singyu Li."

"Select? How to select?"

"Although Tingting Yuli may not know that the susceptibility to hypnosis can be measured by relevant tools, such as the [Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale] or the [Harvard Group Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale], he may have selected seven suitable people in some way. There is also a possibility that this selection is mutual. The seven women not only believe in some beliefs themselves, but also reinforce these beliefs with each other, forming a long-term suggestion and reinforcement effect, and even generating some kind of friendship.

This phenomenon is very common in groups. So, I am waiting, waiting for a piece of evidence that can explain the whole thing."

Jiang Feng quickly handed the evidence that Mu Chun was waiting for to Liu Yiming, a whole day earlier than he promised to complete the task. This day is a day of life and death for many people.

Liu Yiming first went to Chen's house, picked up Chu Sisi, and rushed to the fifth floor of Huayuanqiao Hospital at 2:30 pm on Saturday.
