Chapter 2329: Psychic Assault (15)
Chapter 2360 Psychic Assault (Fifteen)
Generally speaking, if a person has more than 1,000 personalities in his body, it cannot be said that he is not seriously ill. Most people who confirm this fact will make a fuss about it and say that it is too outrageous.
This is indeed the case. How can one body contain more than 1,000 souls?
But now someone told him that he is not as seriously ill as me. David wants to see how seriously Schiller is ill.
"How many personalities do you have?" David asked.
"I only have one."
"That's impossible."
"There is indeed only one, but it is broken into more than 2,000 pieces."
David was speechless.
It seems that compared with more than 1,000 souls stuffed into a person's body, one soul broken into more than 2,000 pieces is more serious.
"How are you alive?" David asked curiously.
"Just make do with your life, and you'll survive if you live."
If someone had answered David's question like this in the past, he would have thought he was just being perfunctory, but now it seems that Schiller is serious. But think about it, it's already in this situation, what else can you do if you don't make do with your life?
"Why did your soul break?"
"An accident." Schiller answered briefly.
"Do you think I'll come and talk to you about mutants?" David said, "Why do you think so? Do you think I'm their representative?"
"No, I don't think you care much about them, you care more about yourself, but your problem is that you're a mutant, so if you want to solve your problem, we still have to talk about mutants."
David frowned deeply.
Schiller held the pen in his hand and said, "You may think that the root of your current situation is dissociative identity disorder, so you come to me and think that as an excellent psychiatrist, I can cure your mental illness."
"But in fact, your problem is not split personality at all, but each of your split personalities has its own thoughts and abilities. What is important is the ability. If they don't have those superpowers, they are harmless."
"Only for society, they make me very painful."
"If your other personalities don't have superpowers and don't pose a threat to society, your pain can be solved by medical means, but if the stress response of each of them will cause great damage in reality, then if this problem is not solved, no one dares to treat your dissociative identity disorder."
David frowned and thought for a while. He had to admit that this was indeed the case. If those personalities only existed in his brain and could not affect reality, perhaps psychiatrists could make them gradually disappear or merge.
But once they have independent thoughts and independent abilities, trying to erase them will definitely cause resistance, and when their strange abilities break out, they will definitely cause serious harm. No psychiatrist dares to do this.
"I can erase them." David sighed and said, "But when one disappears, another one reappears. My ability works on almost everything except them."
"So you promised Charles to come to me, and both of you hope that I can solve your problem." Schiller said carefully, "You know I will find a way to solve it, because you are really like a time bomb. Even if you go to the Andromeda Galaxy, you may blow up the entire universe."
"Indeed, no one dares to accept me." David snorted and said, "But they are right. Anyone who comes into contact with me will become unfortunate."
"I need to ask first, who do you think you are? I mean the personality I am talking to now."
"I am the real David Haller. I am his self. I think You should be able to understand that I am the real David, and the strongest one. "David turned his eyes away and said, "The abilities I have are what David should have originally."
"What can you do?"
"Everything except making myself better." David said, "I can make my wishes come true and make the world change according to my will."
"So when did the accident happen?"
"A terrorist attack in Paris." David pursed his lips and said, "I witnessed the killing of my adoptive father, I lost control, killed my superego, and everything has been out of control since then."
"What about your ego?"
"He..." David paused and said in a slightly puzzled tone, "I don't know, I can't find him."
Schiller was silent for a long time, and it was obvious that he was thinking quickly.
He could understand what David said. To some extent, this situation was somewhat similar to what he said at the time. Because of some external stimuli, something happened in the mental space, and then everything was out of control.
The only difference is that his tower of thought collapsed, causing his personality to break into thousands of pieces. David's superego, which was in charge of moral constraints, was killed, and the id, which represented desires and instincts, disappeared, causing personality defects, resulting in all kinds of strange personalities constantly emerging.
"Let's analyze why you killed your superego after losing control." Schiller twisted the pen and said to himself: "Superego usually represents the underlying conscience and internal moral requirements."
"If I'm not mistaken, you were a very kind and moral person before."
"Indeed." David said helplessly: "David Haller is an introverted, kind person who has never done anything bad. He is a little fragile and sentimental, but very gentle."
"Like your father."
"Partially."
"There is no doubt that witnessing someone completely breaking the legal code and committing a murder has a great impact on your morality. You will wonder why the law cannot punish these murderers, why Why can't the law allow you and your family to continue to live in peace. "
"These thoughts will be the culprit that kills your conscience and morality, and the superego may die at that time."
"Do you have a superego?"
"Of course." Schiller said: "But unlike you, I didn't grow up in a place with universal legal and moral values. This leads to my inner conscience and moral requirements being different from those in society today. So when I witness something that violates conscience and morality, I don't question my conscience and morality. "
David nodded. He knew that this was the so-called distorted morality. As long as the judgment criteria are different, it is possible that the bottom line will never be violated.
"If I'm not mistaken, you actually have room to stop terrorists, but you hesitated. Your high moral requirements made you hesitate to kill people. "
David finally opened his eyes slightly. He hadn't told anyone about this, including his mother.
David finally sat up straighter and began to listen carefully to Schiller's analysis, because he found that the medical staff might have been a little restrained in their evaluation of Schiller's professional level.
The key is not whether the guess is right or not, but whether they dare to guess. After they have a certain identity and status, they are usually not willing to make such decisive judgments because they are afraid of making mistakes. Since Schiller said it, it means that he is fully confident in his judgment.
"Your hesitation gave the terrorists a chance to strike. When you witnessed the tragic death, you were overwhelmed by incomparable guilt, and you began to hate the moral demands of this society, because it was because of this demand that you lost your extremely important relatives and a happy family."
"Then you instantly killed this demand and the culprit who hurt your relatives. All this is traceable and logical. I feel sorry for what happened to you, but I'm afraid it was inevitable."
David was silent for a while, but still nodded, and then he said: "That terrorist was the first soul I absorbed. He told me that he wanted to change me, and this is how he changed me."
"Just as power will not be in a vacuum, there will be no real defects in the human spiritual world. The lack of reason will lead to more chaos, and crazy thinking will make up for it. The structure is broken, and there will be a "But what puzzles me is that if you only kill your superego, the ego and id combined should not give those personalities so much space. The biggest doubt is that your id has disappeared." Schiller took out a scale from the side and asked while looking at it: "When was the last time you wanted something very much?" "Three months before the terrorist attack." David recalled: "I saw a great pair of sneakers in the window, and I worked for two months to buy it." "Has it never happened since then?" "No." "How long have you not thought about your life goals?" "It's been a long time, since these personalities have troubled me, I have never thought about it, I almost forgot it." "What about other desires? Appetite, sexual desire..." David shook his head. "Good, it seems that your instincts are not working at all." Schiller's face became serious, and David felt uneasy. But this uneasiness soon turned into a trace of panic, because Schiller went to flip through the book. Just flipping through the book was not enough, Schiller turned on the computer and started looking for papers. Looking for one paper was not enough, he started a wide-area search.
"I... can I still be saved?"
"Don't worry, let me see." The more Schiller looked, the deeper his frown deepened.
Then he began to narrate, "Our situations are indeed somewhat similar, at least in terms of the ego."
"My ego also had problems, he couldn't speak, but my symptoms were relatively mild, and the reason was very simple, just some external factors stimulated the lack of instinct, which generally did not affect life."
"But your ego completely disappeared, I speculate that there are two possibilities, one is that the huge guilt at the time not only made you lose control and killed the superego, but also greatly hurt the ego, causing it to be killed."
"But the possibility of this situation is low, because if your instincts were completely killed, then you should be completely crazy, two of the three pillars collapsed, and the entire mental structure would collapse, then you should be lying in the hospital as a vegetable now."
"Since you can still move smoothly, it means that the pillar has not collapsed, but it disappeared for some reason. Then there is only one possibility left, that he hid himself."
"Why?"
"Because of guilt." Schiller's finger tapped the mouse lightly, and he said: "It may also be disappointment, because it is your instinct to want to protect your loved ones, but at the critical moment you did not choose to believe your instinct, but chose to believe in moral requirements. He felt deeply disappointed by your distrust, so he hid himself."
"Do these beings really have personalities?"
"Don't you have a personality too?"
David was speechless. He said: "Before I showed symptoms of madness, I never realized that I was not just me, but many of me."
"It's normal. People need some time to accept their own madness." Schiller tapped the mouse and said nonchalantly: "But it doesn't matter. You will get used to it after being crazy."
David still couldn't refute it, because from what he saw from reading his mind, the doctor in front of him might really be used to it, otherwise he really couldn't imagine how a person could live normally with more than 2,000 of himself.
"What do you think I should do?" David asked.
"The key is still in your spiritual world." Schiller sighed deeply and said, "I looked up the information for this. We must first solve your mutant ability, then solve those personalities, and finally find your true self. The problem is that the first two steps are too difficult."
"Why?"
"Because your personalities are too strong. They are strong in the real world and will only be stronger in the spiritual world."
Schiller thought and said, "I may not be able to do it alone. We have to form a spiritual assault team to go to your spiritual world and rescue your true self from your chaotic personality."
