Kakashi looked along the direction pointed by the blind crutch and saw two figures walking hurriedly towards East Street. They were the two people who had just asked him questions in the teahouse.
For a moment, Kakashi felt a little outrageous. He didn't expect that anyone would really believe such a ridiculous thing.
"What, you think it's weird?" Hinata Kei said.
Kakashi pursed his lips and said, "Don't these people have the slightest ability to judge what is true and what is false?"
"You are wrong. They all have judgment, but they still choose to believe it."
Hyuga Kei said: "When a person says something that is unlikely to happen, no one will believe it."
"When two people say this is something that's unlikely to happen, people probably still don't believe it."
"But when three or more people are saying something that is impossible, everyone is likely to choose to believe it."
Before Kakashi could reply, Hyuga Kai continued: "It would be the same if the pork delivery was changed to something else. As long as more people say it, someone will believe it."
"And as long as one person chooses to believe it, then more and more people will choose to believe it."
"When the number of people who believe reaches a certain level, things that are obviously wrong will become right."
Hinata Kei pointed at the teahouse door again, and sure enough, several more figures walked out and walked toward East Street.
Kakashi's eyes flickered slightly as he watched all this. This scene reminded him of what happened back then.
At that time, everyone was accusing his father of giving up the mission and choosing to save his companions, which was wrong.
At the beginning, there were not so many people pointing fingers. But later on, more and more...
The memory in his mind overlapped with the scene in reality. Kakashi stood on the side of the street looking at the door of the teahouse, watching one figure after another walking towards East Street, feeling a little lost.
Hinata Kei did not choose to disturb Kakashi at this time, but stood beside him silently. At this time, Kakashi didn't need to listen to any more psychological talk. What he needed was time to think.
The method he used actually comes from a very famous fable, three people become tigers.
To put it bluntly, three people become tigers is actually taking advantage of human beings' herd mentality.
If it were used for something innocuous, such as delivering pork, it wouldn't cause much harm. But if what he had just asked Kakashi to say was that there were tigers on the streets, it would have caused panic.
It can be seen from this that when the herd mentality is exploited by rumors, what kind of impact will it have.
About half an hour later, Kakashi finally came to his senses. Hinata Kei said at this time: "Okay, that's it for today. Let's find a place to rest. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
"What else do you want to do..." Kakashi said.
It can be felt that Kakashi's tone is not so calm, and he even subconsciously resists when asking questions.
"I'm just doing some experiments, you just need to be responsible for assisting me." Hinata Kei said.
Without waiting for Kakashi to respond, he walked toward the hotel next to him alone. Kakashi gritted his teeth and chose to follow.
The night in the town was very dark and dense, which was very suitable for sleeping. Hinata Kei slept soundly. But Kakashi stayed up all night. He looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and his mind was filled with the scene that happened this afternoon, and the lie that he originally thought was ridiculous.
After tossing and turning, when Hinata Kei woke Kakashi up the next day, he could clearly feel Kakashi's fatigue.
Hinata Kei smiled and asked, "What, you didn't sleep all night?"
Seeing Hinata's smile, Kakashi always thought it was mocking, so he said, "I'm more comfortable in bed."
"So that's the case, that's a bit bad. After all, we have to go to a different place every day." Hinata Kei tilted his head and said, "No matter whether you can have a good rest or not, you must obey orders. So you’d better adjust quickly.”
Kakashi took a deep breath and told himself not to be angry, otherwise he would lose, so he simply stopped talking.
Hyuga Kei ignored Kakashi who tried to use silence to escape his diagnosis and treatment. In front of a psychiatrist, especially an experienced psychiatrist, the doctor can understand everything even if the patient does nothing.
Speech, expressions, body movements, and even breathing frequency, even ordinary people can recognize the psychological state of others from these details. Not to mention him as a psychiatrist.
Yesterday's diagnosis and treatment had already caused Kakashi to have initial psychological disturbances, and starting from today, he was going to make these disturbances deeper.
Using a blind crutch, Hinata Kei took Kakashi straight to the hospital in the small town. His target is very clear, areas where critically ill patients are located.
Entering this area, even without turning on his perception ability, Hinata Kei can clearly feel a feeling of sadness, helplessness and even despair filling it.
Kakashi slowed down and let himself walk behind Hinata Kai. He didn't know what Hinata Kai wanted to take him to, but he felt that nothing good would happen.
Suddenly, in the distant ward, a middle-aged man's helpless voice came: "Doctor, please, save my child!"
"I'm sorry, I understand how you feel. But this is a hospital, and you need to pay for treatment." A voice of rejection came out later.
"But, I can't come up with so much money at all..."
Continuous pleas came one after another, but in the end they received ruthless rejection.
Hinata Kei knew that this was the target he was looking for, so he took Kakashi directly to the ward.
In front of the ward door, he said to Kakashi: "You go in with me, and then you tell this father that you can help him pay for treatment, provided that he needs to work for you to repay it."
"When did a psychiatrist like you take over the work of ordinary doctors?" Kakashi asked.
Hinata Kei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just think of me as a doctor having an empathy attack."
Kakashi struggled a little. He knew that what Hinata Kei wanted him to do might not be that simple. But thinking about his promise, he finally chose not to refuse.
This time, no matter what, we can't let this guy succeed! Kakashi thought in his mind.
The two walked into the ward, and Kakashi said what Hinata Kei wanted him to say to the middle-aged man in front of him who was full of despair.
The middle-aged man looked excited. He held Kakashi's hand and refused to let go, "Thank you, thank you, Lord Ninja. As long as you can save my child, I have no problem doing anything you want!"
Kakashi was silent for a while when he saw the father in front of him expressing his gratitude to him. However, Hinata Kei asked: "You have to understand that after you take this money, it may take a long time, or even never again." No chance to meet your son."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at his son who was breathing weakly on the hospital bed. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "As long as he can recover, it doesn't matter even if he didn't have me as his father in his childhood."
Kakashi's eyes flashed slightly, and Hinata Kei asked again: "Even if your child will resent you for not being with him when he wakes up, don't you care?"
"As long as he can live in peace, I don't care even if it costs me my life!" the middle-aged man said without hesitation.
Hinata Kei nodded slightly, took out his wallet from his arms, handed the required amount to the middle-aged man, and then signaled to Kakashi that he could leave.
Kakashi did not leave immediately. He quietly looked at the middle-aged man who was crying and laughing in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart for a moment.
