Chapter 2806
Schiller felt a bit tricky.
The Bishop invited him here, clearly not to let him take the consultation fee in vain. His charges are indeed very expensive, but still, he might be unscrupulous, but he is definitely not a quack. If he takes people's money, he has to do things for people.
But now this situation is also a rare case he has never seen before, and there are two rare points.
First, the source of the patient's onset is not groundless, and it is not fabricated. Schiller now knows that the patient's hallucination is very likely not a hallucination, and the monster is real. This is a situation Schiller has not encountered before.
Before, most of the patients he encountered who had hallucinations had various reasons, but their common point was that this monster was just imagined by them and did not exist in the real world. Under normal circumstances, they can realize this, so they have the ability to summon courage to confront the monster.
Second, the patient's course of disease deteriorated too fast. Up to now, it can be called terminally ill. That is to say, even if he was just frightened when he saw the monster for the first time, rather than having any pathological disease, he is basically a complete mental patient by now.
Generally speaking, most people won't wait until this situation to see a doctor. When hallucinations seriously interfere with their daily life, they will choose to go to the hospital. But if there is no accident, this patient should have never been to the hospital, at least never seen a psychiatrist, and I am afraid she couldn't take any medicine.
Schiller believes that the patient is Martha Wei En.
As for why it is not Bruce Wei En, it is because Bruce Wei En in the whole world is not such a person. Batman is actually extremely arrogant. If he sees a monster and judges that his spirit is normal and won't have hallucinations, then he will definitely firmly believe that the monster is real, and won't doubt that he is crazy, thereby producing internal friction.
Just like the psychological problems produced by Cobblepot, ordinary people rely more on social recognition, through others affirming themselves to affirm themselves, and have almost no absolutely stable self-cognition anchor point.
But people like Batman and Joker are different. These are usually not problems for lunatics. Their self-cognition anchor points are stable enough, and their wisdom is high enough. Even if they are blinded for a while, they can finally distinguish whether the monster really exists or they are crazy by themselves.
So, people who will feel confused and afraid for this are basically only ordinary people. There are not many people who can be called ordinary people in Gotham. Cobblepot is one, but his symptoms don't match. Then the only ones left are Martha Wei En who once appeared in the phantom.
Little Bruce mentioned to Schiller before that the matter of him being targeted by Nyarlathotep was not that simple, and also mentioned his mother. Now it seems that perhaps the source of all pollution is on Martha Wei En.
Then the question comes, Martha Wei En has long been dead, then what is the abnormality that broke out in the hotel and this city 20 days ago?
Schiller believes that in the eyes of ordinary people, it is indeed like a lamp going out when people die. People are dead, so naturally, they can't do things. But things are not that simple. They discovered before that human brain waves affected by the Earth's magnetic field might become an abnormal brain wave, which is commonly known as a ghost.
Then 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 with by other brain waves. Schiller speculated before that the Outer God's knowledge infusion for humans might be a kind of brain wave interference.
If Martha Wei En had been interfered with while she was alive, her brain waves were very likely not dissipated, but became a kind of ghost-like thing.
It is not completely unreasonable to say that ghosts will be confined to the obsessions before death. Although the brain waves have become abnormal, after all, most of the basic attributes remain unchanged. It is very likely that there are still memories when alive. For Martha Wei En, it is her soul and pollution that were left behind.
To crack the hotel mystery, naturally, you have to find a way to find Martha Wei En's ghost. The Martha presented in the room is just a phantom, but it also explains some problems. Martha might indeed have wandered in the hotel and has not left until today.
To find Martha's ghost, you still have to start from her mental state. First, figure out how bad she had deteriorated before she died. But to figure out her mental state before she died, exploring step by step according to the hotel's rules is undoubtedly falling into some trap.
Schiller has intended to speed up, so naturally, he can't play according to the other party's rules. Otherwise, even if they can find Martha in the depths of the hotel, they won't have the ability to soothe Martha.
Schiller knows that this is why the Bishop called him over. They can explore step by step like investigators, but in fact, the simplest method is to use their expertise to guess the answer out of thin air without practice.
Schiller also indeed has this ability. His clinical experience is very rich, and he has seen the complete development process of many such patients.
He knows that private space being invaded and feeling monitored is just the beginning of this course of disease, and thinking of people close to him as monitors who want to harm him at any time is just the starting stage of the development of the condition.
If Schiller's judgment is correct, if it is not curbed in this step, the patient will start to have aggressive behavior. At first, it might just be gibberish, shouting, saying things like 'you are all here to harm me', and constantly repeating how you want to harm me.
At this stage, the patient actually has reason. He will constantly shout or even attack, actually just to push the people close to him away. Instinct makes them want to keep others far away from themselves, which is not dangerous yet.
And they will have significant manic periods and fatigue periods. In the manic period, they will point and push around, and can even spend more than ten hours talking endlessly. Depending on individual physique, there are different degrees of delirium performance.
But in the fatigue period, they will appear disappointed and frustrated, lose interest in everything, and even be so panicked that they can't act, appearing in a very typical stupor state.
If the treatment is not carried out at this stage, the aggressive performance in the manic period will become more and more serious, orientation will be completely lost, feelings will be chaotic, limb behavior will be abnormal, and finally, it will develop into disorderly chaotic attacks.
Most of the doctors and nurses who were beaten by patients in hospitals were attacked at this stage. The other party actually didn't want to hit people. They just couldn't control their brains, and their brains couldn't correctly mobilize their limbs. If you accidentally lean over, you might get a punch, but if you leave him alone, he might fall flat on the ground and can't act normally at all.
Schiller believes that if all the abnormalities in the hotel are caused by Martha's contaminated brain waves, then each part might represent each course of her disease. The manor above the swimming pool is the transition from mild to severe, which can be said to be the watershed of the course of the disease.
Schiller is not sure whether solving the incident here can make the pollution of Martha's brain waves lighter, but they have already entered here, and for the sake of their own survival, they have to find a way to solve the problem of the manor.
But after all, this is not a purely mental problem. Just as said before, monsters are real, and now the place they are in is in the patient's hallucination. There is no way to intervene in the patient's course of disease as an external condition. Schiller has no such experience. As a doctor, he can't be so arrogant.
Schiller thought about it and felt it was necessary to hold a consultation.
But a consultation requires funds. After all, all personality traits are now adjusting to new bodies. It is not easy to invite them back to the high tower. His consultation fee that he just got, hasn't been warmed up yet, Schiller felt very painful.
But, out of consideration for being responsible for the patient, Schiller must do so.
When the Bishop returned, he was still very dazed. He looked at his side and didn't find any notes left. The greed that returned to the high tower only said a few words in a hurry, only saying let him wait, and didn't give any useful clues. His consultation fee can be considered to have been spent in vain.
The Bishop felt it was unlikely. He understood greed. This guy is a typical person who does things for money. Although the sacrifice is not much, it is not so little that he does nothing.
Just when the Bishop was suspicious, greed had already started shaking people in the office of the superego.
Not long after, pride pushed the door open. He said somewhat impatiently, "What's wrong again? You have another patient you can't handle?"
"Believe me, this time it's very tricky," greed revealed a worried expression. He said, "It's not just a pathological problem, it also involves magic. If you have time, go and invite those personality traits on the magic side. We have to have a big consultation."
Pride originally wanted to mock a few words, but seeing greed's expression, he also knew the seriousness of the matter. He didn't say anything and left.
After a while, many personality traits knocked on the door one after another. Seeing greed frantically organizing information, they didn't say anything and turned to walk toward the conference room.
When greed organized all the information, he opened the door and found that the conference room was already sitting in two rows of people. Everyone was basically flipping through the information in the memory bank and looking at the situation inside the hotel that the Bishop had streamed back.
Greed walked to the front, aligned the information on the table, and then said, "I think everyone already understands what the situation is now. The specific details of the whole thing are all in the memory bank. Everyone can flip through it themselves."
"Because this is a multi-disciplinary collaboration consultation, in order to save time, each discipline will first have a group discussion, and each will issue a consultation opinion before a big discussion."
The conference room immediately sounded with whispers. Pride sat on the chair on the right of the first row, looking calm, clearly having a conclusion early, and he still had the mood to chat with greed.
"You are really willing, that sacrifice is not small."
"People who haven't seen money will think that those few melons and dates are not small." Greed was recording while retorting pride.
Pride sneered, rarely not refuting. He sat in place and thought about it, then said, "I always feel that we won't have few such things in the future. If we all go to the new body by then, it will be troublesome to encounter such things."
"It's not necessarily that we have to do this to solve it," greed lowered his head and turned another page, then said, "It's just that this case is very rare. I really haven't seen one that encounters real monsters. If you miss this village, you won't have this shop."
"I knew you didn't have such good intentions," pride 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 a traditional good mother. This aspect can't provide any clues."
"Then try your best to talk about it," greed finally got time to glance at him and said, "Don't think about taking the consultation fee and not doing things. Even if you are counting words, you have to count enough for me."
"Rest assured, I am not Bruce," pride smiled and said. Greed originally thought he would say something about analyzing as much as possible, but pride said, "I am still relatively good at counting words."
