Chapter 2817: The Demonic Forbidden Zone (Thirteen)
Schiller felt a little tricky.
The bishop invited him here, obviously not to let him take the consultation fee for free. His fee was indeed very expensive, but as I said, he might be unscrupulous, but he was definitely not a quack. He had to do things for people after taking their money.
But this situation was also a rare case he had never seen before, and there were two reasons for it.
First, the source of the patient's illness was not aimless, nor was it fabricated. Schiller now knew that the patient's hallucination was probably not a hallucination, and the monster was real. This was a situation Schiller had never encountered before.
In the past, most of the patients he had encountered had various reasons for hallucinations, but what they had in common was that the monster was just their fantasy and did not exist in the real world. Usually, they could realize this and had the courage to fight the monster.
Secondly, the patient's disease progressed too fast. So far, he is in a terminal state. That is to say, even if he was just frightened when he first saw the monster, and did not have any pathological diseases, he is basically a complete mental patient now.
Generally speaking, most people will not wait until now to see a doctor. When hallucinations seriously interfere with their daily lives, they will choose to go to the hospital. But if nothing unexpected happens, this patient should have never been to the hospital, at least not to the psychiatric department, and probably cannot take any medicine.
Schiller believes that the patient is Martha Wayne.
As for why it is not Bruce Wayne, it is because Bruce in the world is not such a person. Batman is actually extremely conceited. If he sees a monster and judges that he is mentally normal and will not have hallucinations, then he will definitely firmly believe that the monster is real, and will not doubt that he is crazy, thus generating internal friction.
Just like the psychological problems caused by Cobblepot, ordinary people rely more on social recognition and affirm themselves through others' affirmation. There is almost no absolutely stable anchor point for self-cognition.
But Batman and the Joker are different. These are usually not a problem for crazy people. Their self-cognition anchor is stable enough and their wisdom is high enough. Even if they are deceived for a while, they can finally distinguish whether there is a real monster or they are crazy.
Therefore, only ordinary people will feel confused and frightened. There are not many people in Gotham who can be called ordinary people. Cobblepot is one, but his symptoms do not match. The only one left is Martha Wayne who once appeared in the phantom.
Bruce mentioned to Schiller before that it was not so simple for him to be targeted by Nia, and also mentioned his mother. Now it seems that perhaps the source of all the pollution is on Martha Wayne.
Then the question is, Martha Wayne has died a long time ago, so what is the matter with the abnormality that broke out in the hotel and the city 20 days ago?
Schiller believes that in the eyes of ordinary people, it is true that when people die, they can't make trouble. But things are not that simple. They have discovered before that human brain waves may become abnormal waves under the influence of the earth's magnetic field, which is commonly known as ghosts.
Since it can be affected by the earth's magnetic field, it can naturally be affected by other magnetic fields, or it can also be interfered by other radio waves. Schiller had previously speculated that the knowledge instilled by the outer gods into humans might be a kind of radio wave interference.
If Martha Wayne had been interfered with when she was alive, her brain waves might not have dissipated, but turned into something similar to a ghost.
It is not completely unreasonable to say that ghosts are confined to their obsessions before death. Although brain waves have become abnormal, most of the basic properties remain unchanged after all, and there may still be memories of when they were alive. For Martha Wayne, her soul and pollution were left behind.
If you want to solve the mystery of the hotel, you naturally have to find a way to find Martha Wayne's ghost. The Martha presented in the room is just an illusion, but it also explains some problems. Martha may have indeed wandered around the hotel and has never left until today.
To find Martha's ghost, we still have to start with her mental state and figure out how badly she had deteriorated before her death. However, if we want to figure out her mental state before her death, we must follow the hotel's rules and explore deeper step by step, which is undoubtedly a trap.
Schiller has already planned to speed up, so it is naturally impossible to play by the other party's rules. Otherwise, even if they can find Martha in the depths of the hotel, they will definitely not be able to comfort Martha.
Schiller knew that this was why the bishop called him over. They could explore step by step like investigators, but in fact the easiest way was to use their expertise and guess the answer without practice.
Schiller did have this ability. He had a lot of clinical experience and had seen many such patients go through the complete course of disease.
He knew that the invasion of private space and the feeling of being monitored were actually just the beginning of this course of disease. Thinking of the people close to him as monitors who wanted to harm him at any time was just the beginning of the disease.
If Schiller's judgment is correct, if this step is not curbed, the patient will begin to become aggressive. At first, he may just talk nonsense, yell, and say something like "You are all here to hurt me", and he will keep repeating how you are going to hurt me.
At this stage, the patient is actually still rational. He will keep yelling or even attacking. In fact, it is just to push the people close to him away. His instinct makes them want others to stay away from them, which is not considered dangerous.
In addition, they will have significant periods of excitement and exhaustion. During the period of excitement, they will blame and push randomly, and may even spend more than ten hours talking eloquently. Depending on the individual's constitution, there will be different levels of delirium.
But during the fatigue period, they will show disappointment and frustration, lose interest in everything, and even panic to the point of numbness and inability to move, showing a very typical stupor state.
If left untreated at this stage, the aggressive performance in the hyperactive stage will become more and more serious, with complete loss of orientation, confusion, abnormal body behavior, and eventually develop into disorderly and chaotic attacks.
Most of the doctors and nurses who were beaten by patients in the hospital were attacked at this stage. The other person didn't actually want to hit them, they just couldn't control their brains, and their brains couldn't mobilize their limbs correctly. If you're not careful, If you lean over, you might get punched, but if you let him go, he might fall flat on the ground, unable to move normally at all.
Schiller believes that if all the abnormalities in the hotel are caused by Martha's contaminated brain waves, then each part may represent each stage of her illness. The manor above the swimming pool is the transition from mild to severe disease, which can It is said to be a watershed in the course of the disease.
Schiller was not sure whether solving the events here would make Martha's brainwave less contaminated, but they had now entered here, and they had to find a way to solve the problems in the manor in order to survive.
But after all, this is not a purely mental problem. As mentioned before, monsters really exist, and where they are now is in the patient's hallucination. There is no way to interfere with the patient's course of illness as an external condition. Schiller has no such experience. As a doctor, he can't be so pretentious.
Schiller thought about it and decided that a consultation was necessary.
But consultations require funds. After all, each personality trait is now adjusting to a new body. It is not easy to invite them back to the tower. The consultation fee he just received has not yet covered his body, and Schiller feels very painful.
However, Schiller had to do this out of responsibility for his patients.
The bishop was still confused when he came back. He looked at his hand and found no note left behind. Greedy returned to the tower and only said a few words in a hurry, telling him to wait without giving any useful clues. My medical expenses were wasted.
The bishop thought it was impossible. He knew about greed. This guy would typically do whatever he wanted with how much money he had. Although the sacrifice was not a lot, it was not so small that he would do nothing.
While the bishop was wondering, greed had already begun to sway people in the superego's office.
After a while, Arrogance pushed the door open, and he said impatiently: "What's wrong? You have another illness that you can't deal with?"
"Believe me, this time is very difficult." Greedy showed a sad face, and he said: "It is not only a pathology problem, but also magic. If you are free, go and hire those magic-side personality traits. We will get them." A general consultation.”
Arrogance originally wanted to say something sarcastic, but seeing Greed's expression and knowing the seriousness of the matter, he left without saying anything.
After a while, many people with personality traits knocked on the door one after another. Seeing Greedy arranging information anxiously, they were very sensible and said nothing, turned around and walked to the conference room.
After Greed had sorted out all the information, he opened the door and found that two rows of people were already sitting in the conference room. Everyone was basically flipping through the information in the memory bank to see what was going on inside the hotel that the bishop had streamed back.
Greedy walked to the front, aligned the information on the table, and said, "I believe everyone already understands what is happening now. The specific details of the whole thing are in the memory bank. You can look through it yourself."
"Because this is a multidisciplinary collaborative consultation, in order to save time, each discipline will conduct group discussions first, and each will issue consultation opinions before having a big discussion."
There were whispers in the conference room immediately. Arrogance sat on the chair on the right side of the first row, looking unfazed. It was obvious that he had already come to a conclusion. He was still in the mood to chat with Greed.
"You are so willing to give up. The sacrifices are quite a lot."
"Only those who have never seen money will think that three melons and two dates are a lot." Greedy looked at his own records while still replying with arrogance.
Arrogant sneered, and rarely refuted. He sat there and thought about it, and then said: "I always feel that we will encounter such things in the future. If we all go to new bodies by then, we will encounter such things. It’s going to be troublesome.”
"It doesn't have to be solved this way." Greedy lowered his head and turned another page, and then said: "It's just that this case is very rare. I have never seen anyone encounter a real monster. If you miss this village, you won't have this shop. ”
"I knew you weren't so kind." Arrogance shook his head and said, "Martha's personality is really lackluster. Don't expect me to analyze anything that can reverse the situation. She is just a good mother in the traditional sense. , provides no clues in this regard.”
"Then try your best to talk about it." Greedy finally had time to glance at him and said, "You can't even think of taking the consultation fee and not doing anything. You have to give me enough words to make up for it."
"Don't worry, I'm not Bruce." Arrogant smiled and said. Greedy thought he would say what he would say and tried his best to analyze it, but Arrogant said: "I'm better at making up the number of words."
