Chapter 1699 Facts and truth (I’ve finished the matter before the New Year)
Is it normal to eat hot pot in the reception room?
It is normal for Chianda to have questions about this, but seeing Hachina Miya and Duanmu Huai both acted as if they were taken for granted, she... couldn''t say anything.
"Well, this meat is delicious! Is this the so-called Wagyu beef?"
"I don''t know, I bought it casually."
"It''s so good. Our family will only have this luxury enjoyment when the supermarket sells a lot..."
Looking at the two people eating hot pot leisurely in front of him, Chitanda didn''t know what to do, and Hatanda smiled and handed a plate of meat to Chitanda.
"Come on, Eru, this one is delicious."
“Ah, well, thank you…”
To be honest, Qian Fantian was very worried about what to do if someone in the hospital found out about eating hot pot here. Whether it was a patient or a doctor, he would be very angry when he saw this situation. However, Duanmu Huai and Hachina were very confused when they saw that the reactions were as if no one else were around. After all, this was the case for people. When you see other people doing things that shouldn''t be done here as if nothing had happened, and they looked righteous, you would first wonder if there was something wrong with your head.
This is what Chibata is now.
“By the way, Chiang Bangda.”
Just as she started to taste hot pot, Duanmuhuai seemed to be talking to her inadvertently.
"Do you think what we are looking for here is the fact? Or the truth?"
"Hey? Is there any difference between the two?"
Faced with Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, Qian Fantian was a little surprised.
“Of course there is a difference.”
Duanmu Huai took a sip of the drink and snapped his fingers at Hachiami.
"Ji Hachina, tell me the story about this Western Restaurant again."
“Oh, OK, um…”
Hachina saw that she had eaten a piece of beef and tilted her head to recall it.
"This mental hospital suddenly caught a fire one day. After the people around him found it, they immediately called the fire. Firefighters came here to put out the fire, and then found the body here. According to the police''s identification, the doctors and patients inside seemed to have died in the killing of each other. Because there were no survivors and no witnesses, no one knew what was going on."
“That’s it.”
Duanmu Huai nodded and looked at Qianfantian again.
"Do you understand?"
“……………?”
To be honest, Chibata doesn’t understand at all.
"The facts refer to what happened here, and the truth refers to why this happened."
Duanmuhuai shrugged.
"As for the current crazy appearance of mental hospitals, it is almost impossible for us to know the latter, but it is very easy to know the former."
“Ah, I understand!”
After eating, Hachina believes that her IQ will double, and the same is true now.
"As long as we stay here and continue watching, we will know why this place caught fire at the beginning, right?"
“That’s right.”
Duanmu Huai nodded.
"The truth is actually not important. You see, it''s like the police arresting a prisoner. The prisoner''s fingerprint was found on the murder weapon, and he did not have any absent evidence, and there was his DNA residue at the scene, so it can be proved that he killed the victim. But why did he kill the victim? Maybe if the prisoner doesn''t say it, we will never know, but is this important? No, it doesn''t matter. The important thing is to find the prisoner and arrest him."
"Woo...I still think this shouldn''t be the case."
Chibada was a little awkward, but Hachina smiled when she saw it.
"Ah, I can understand it. It''s like reading a detective novel. If you don''t talk about the motives of the crime in the end, you always feel that there is something missing."
“That’s right.”
Duanmu Huai nodded.
"Isn''t this happening often in mystery novels? The police arrested people based on clues at the scene, and then the detective found that they should have caught the wrong one, so they launched a reasoning rescue. It seems that the police are incompetent, but the problem is that this is the police''s responsibility, evidence, testimony, and witnesses. As long as these things are there, the prisoner can be locked in. As for the motive for murder, we can only ask later."
"But the motive may also be fake, it may be due to some small matter, or it may be simply making up. The word truth is placed in different contexts and has different explanations. For example, in this incident, what is the truth? Who attacked whom? Or who attacked whom?"
“Woo……”
Faced with the puzzle like Duanmu Huai, which seemed to be talking about the same thing, even Hachina, who had a food bonus, frowned and thought, let alone Chianda.
"Generally speaking, the patient should be attacking the doctor."
A moment later, Hachina Miya gave her answer.
"Because the doctors locked them in the ward? Patients will definitely resent the doctor, so they will attack the other party."
"Is this your idea?"
"No, I had this statement when I watched it online, saying that mental treatment was incorrect at that time, and doctors often punished patients inhumanely, so patients hated the doctor, killed them, and then turned into bloodthirsty dead... "
I see.
"But it''s also very convincing, isn''t it?"
Indeed, generally speaking, when people hear a story, they subconsciously sympathize with the weak. In mental hospitals, patients are naturally weak compared to doctors. It is even lower than that of ordinary patients, because doctors can bind or imprison them on the grounds of violent impulses or dangerous behaviors. The patient cannot even resist this behavior.
"I also have a guess."
Duanmuhuai took the last bite of meat and leaned comfortably on the sofa.
"What do you think are the normal boundaries?"
“………?”
"What is a normal person? A normal life? For example, I ask you, do you think you are a normal high school girl?"
“………?”
Hachina Miya and Chianda looked at each other.
"It should be calculated?"
"We all go to class well every day, participate in club activities, and go out with friends?"
"So what you mean is that people who don''t go to class well, don''t participate in club activities, and don''t have friends are not normal high school girls?"
"Well...this is that..."
Hachina saw that she was a little confused about how to answer.
“What’s the reason?”
"Maybe it''s because...everyone does this?"
“That’s right.”
Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.
"What is the definition of normality? What is normal? The consensus of most people? Or as you said, everyone does this. Then I ask you, if you went to a school, most of the students in that school love to study, do not participate in club activities, and are reading and doing homework from 8 am to 8 pm, will you be the same as them? Or do you still stick to yourself?"
"I………"
Hachina Miya and Chianda looked at each other.
"It should be the same as them, after all, if everyone doesn''t participate in the club activities..."
"So, what were the normal standards at that time?"
“Woo……”
"Okay, it''s a bit far. When you go back to this hospital, what do you think are the normal standards here?"
“???”
"You think the patients here are patients and the doctors are normal people, right?"
“Isn’t it?”
Qianfantian seemed to have grabbed the hidden meaning in Duanmu Huai''s words and stared at him with wide eyes.
"That''s right, think about it carefully. If you are a doctor, you are with a group of psychopaths all day long, such as...well, they treat themselves as teapots, think you are a teacup, and they want to fill you with tea every day."
"Hey... Xiao Ai you''re a bit obscene?"
Hachina complained, Duanmu Huai smiled.
"But you definitely won''t treat yourself as a teacup."
"Of course."
"But if you are with them every day and they always treat you as a teacup, will you really treat yourself as a teacup in the end?"
“…………”
“Assimilation.”
Duanmuhuai pointed to the room in front of him.
"You all saw that this place is rarely visited and far away from people. Doctors cannot come into contact with normal people after get off work. And you should have noticed that many of the statements about mentally ill people are quite confusing. When you come into contact with such guys every day and cannot return to normal society, do you think you can still understand where the boundaries of normality are?"
“………So, Xiao Ai, what you mean is that these doctors are real doctors, but they spend too long with mental patients, so they have become abnormal?”
The more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.
"But... they are doctors, but professionals!"
"It''s not strange that doctors don''t treat themselves. Respiratory doctors smoke fewer? Don''t they know that smoking is harmful to health? They have seen more lungs in patients who die from cancer because of smoking than we have seen horror movies. If you live with these mental patients for twenty-four hours a day and live for one or two years, can you guarantee that you are still a normal person? Not at all confused by them?"
“………”
Qianfantian wanted to say yes, but when she thought of the ambiguous words that the mentally ill patients said to her just now, she lost her confidence.
These people are so good at making up, and the logic is very smooth, and they feel reasonable no matter how you think about it! What''s even more terrifying is that you can''t tell which one was made up by him or which one was said seriously.
"Emotions are contagious, sad, and angry. You also know that doctors and nurses wear masks, gloves and protective clothing to prevent themselves from being infected by patients. But that is targeting the virus on the physical level, but mental infection cannot be solved by protective clothing."
Duanmuhuai took another sip of Coke, raised his head and looked at the painting hanging on the wall of the living room in front of him. It was a Western oil painting with demons and angels on it. Among them, the demons are located below the oil painting. They reach out to try to catch the angel, and the angel spreads its white wings and stretches out its hand to the demons, as if to save them, but the inside of the angel''s white wings has turned into a pitch-black feather root.
"Psychologists are also prone to psychological problems, because it is difficult to isolate and prevent and treat mental infections with physical means, so you can imagine the situation here. Patients and patients are transmitted to each other, and then doctors and doctors are transmitted to each other... However, each of them is not conscious..."
"Woo... it feels a little scary."
"By the way, we are the same. Do you think normal people eat hot pot here?"
"Hey? Probably not!"
Chibata was suddenly shocked, but Hachina saw that she was very calm.
"But is the hot pot delicious?"
"Xiancai, I think this is not a question of whether it is delicious or not..."
"But it''s delicious, right?"
"This...is delicious..."
Chibada was defeated before Hachina met.
“It’s delicious!”
"Of course, this doesn''t matter."
Duanmu Huai yawned.
“This is the memory of the dead, so we don’t need to do anything at all.”
"What does this mean?"
“It means they will take the initiative to tell us what happened.”
As Duanmu Huai finished speaking, suddenly, a harsh scream suddenly sounded outside the door.
That’s all about the things that happened before the New Year. Let’s talk about the rest of the New Year, and we will resume updates from today. That sentence is well said, no one knows which one will come first, tomorrow or accident, but only those who have experienced it personally will have personal experience. It''s still in pain now, because I still have to hide it from my grandma until the New Year. Seeing her happy every day, I feel so stressed. By the way, I had anxiety disorders and had been controlled by taking medicine. I had already recovered a lot, but now I have relapsed, which is really a headache. That''s it. Everyone complains more about the book, and I''m a little happier to read it, that''s it. The rest is to talk about it after the New Year.
