"The stomach function is normal. Rather than saying that there is nothing wrong with it, it is better to say that it is surprisingly healthy."
The doctor in front of him is Sima Xi, a well-known general department doctor at the Third General Hospital of Yanshui City. A suit and tie can be vaguely seen under the white coat, and the frames of thin-framed glasses are trimmed with gold. Perhaps due to overwork due to his professional status, he clearly looks in his thirties, but there are some fine white hairs on the top of his head.
"very healthy?"
Wang Dazhuo was a little shocked. He once again argued with the doctor and said that his friend had just hugged the corner and vomited violently, and even vomited out the acid water in his stomach. No matter how you look at it, this cannot be considered healthy.
But no matter whether it was the three gastric function tests or the gastroscopy, the report sheet was placed on the table in front of everyone. Xie Zhi's gastric function did not have any problems at all. He did not even have gastric ulcers that are common for people of his age who stay up late.
Xie Zhi, who was sitting on the side of the consultation table, was also shocked, but this shock quickly turned into thinking.
"If my stomach is functioning normally, then why do I throw up when I smell food?"
Xie Zhi raised his doubts.
"You just said that you feel like vomiting when you smell food. What if you eat food?"
"Eating food will make you throw up more."
Xie Zhi shook his head. At first, he thought that the vomiting might be just a stress reaction after he was too hungry during the period after he woke up and suddenly saw food again. But after he calmed down, he tried the food Wang Dazhuo brought. Every food was difficult to swallow. Even as soon as he picked up the food with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth, he couldn't help the sour water in his stomach. If even a small piece of that food enters his stomach, his stomach will turn upside down, as if his internal organs are about to be vomited out.
"No matter whether it's meat or vegetable dishes, even plain noodles with clear soup, it will make my stomach cramp."
Xie Zhi added.
Sima Xi pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and a strange light was reflected in the lenses.
"In that case, I guess it's not a physical problem."
"Isn't it a physical problem?"
"It's most likely a psychological problem, such as stress anorexia caused by some kind of stimulation. Have you received any stimulation recently?"
"The recent excitement..."
Xie Zhi shook his head. The only thing he could remember in the near future was what happened at the Tianguang Building. Everything that happened further forward was completely blank in his memory.
"We had bread together last night and there were no problems."
Wang DaZhuo suddenly spoke.
Xie Zhi also remembered that when he was in Room 2805 of Tianguang Building, he shared bread and Coke with his roommates.
So the problem lies in...the dozen or so hours between yesterday evening and today?
What happened in the past ten hours... was the three-way game between the Moon Monster on the Tianguang Building and the Hall of Thought.
“Could an emotional pollution virus cause this type of anorexia?”
Xie Zhi thought for a moment and asked for a reason why the possibility seemed higher.
“What kind of emotional pollution virus?”
"Moon head, those polluted people's heads will turn into sunken balls like the moon, with facial features growing on their faces..."
"Moon Head Virus probably won't."
Dr. Sima Xi slowly shook his head.
"As far as I know, the Moon Head Virus should be a symptom of a virus that tends to amplify desire. Infected emotional patients will focus on a certain inner desire and amplify their behavior for this desire."
“What about the contentment virus that contentment masks carry?”
Wang Dazhui, who was standing aside, also added that he mentioned the imitation masks that everyone had foreseen in the early days of the Tianguang Building incident.
"The mask of satisfaction... probably won't work either. It's also a desire amplification virus. The infected will obey their own immediate gratification and do whatever it takes to achieve instant gratification. If it's the sequelae of the gratification virus, more patients may appear. Symptoms of Bulimia.”
Sima Xi once again ruled out this option, and then put forward his own opinion.
"If it is an emotional virus, the emotional virus that can produce stress-induced anorexia must also be biased towards suppressing the negative emotions of despair. For example, a batch of negative emotions were transferred from the negative emotion pollution field that was just cracked in Hanshan City a few days ago. Most of the patients with the sequelae of emotional illness who are infected with the cataract virus have symptoms of anorexia and world-weariness.”
"But as I just said, symptoms of anorexia, world-weariness, and wanting to take one's own life are usually concurrent. If there is only one of them, it is difficult to judge it as the sequelae of emotional pollution. Mr. Xie obviously does not have symptoms of world-weariness. It just makes me vomit when I smell food.”
Xie Zhi nodded. Compared with those patients with emotional illnesses who were severely polluted in the emotional pollution field and had lifelong sequelae, although his symptoms were strange, the severity was much milder.
"In addition to the emotional virus in the pollution site, has Mr. Xie received any other stimulation?"
Xie Zhi hesitated. Since the emotional virus is not the cause of vomiting, it seems that there is only one reason, and that is the sleeping crazy scissors in his body.
But is it really okay to say such a "reason" in a public place like a hospital?
In his own body, whether it is the death of his predecessor Xie Zhi or the sleeping of Crazy Scissors, everything seems confusing. The mastermind behind these things is looking at him at the moment, but the enemy is hidden and we are clear, and he does not even know who the enemy is. Know.
How should I speak? Said that his emotions turned into a serious injury and fell into a deep sleep? Or is it that you and your emotional avatar are partially fused together, and are currently in a strange symbiosis?
Xie Zhi was silent for a long time, but finally felt that eating was more important.
Although the man behind the death of the previous Xie Zhi is still lurking in the dark, and he will wait for an opportunity at any time, but if he can't even eat a normal meal, then maybe even if the man behind the scenes doesn't take advantage of Crazy Scissors' weakness to If I take a stab, I will starve to death for no apparent reason before my journey to find the truth.
"My emotional avatar was so damaged that it's almost completely gone now."
Xie Zhi pretended to hold the blue pattern on his right wrist casually and summoned the cold humanoid phantom lying behind him.
The translucent Crazy Scissors had its eyes closed and was lying on Xie Zhi's shoulder. Only by concentrating and observing hard could one find this light blue humanoid figure in the air behind Xie Zhi.
Xie Zhi heard the sound of the teacup breaking.
It turned out that Wang Dazhui accidentally rubbed the tea cup on the table leg to the ground.
"How did Crazy Scissors become like this!?"
"Maybe it's because the battle in Tianguang Building was too dangerous. Before we solved the Moon-Headed Monster, Crazy Scissors had already fallen into a deep sleep because he single-handedly solved the imitation Satisfaction Mask. When we solved the Moon-Headed Monster, I forced Mobilizing the power of crazy scissors..."
Unlike Wang Dazhuo who was shocked, Dr. Sima Xi on the other side looked very calm.
He nodded slowly, his eyes shining brightly.
"Finally, we found the source of the disease. The problem lies with your avatar."
"If I guess correctly, before you developed the symptoms of anorexia you have now, you should have gone through a very fierce battle, and even a battle of spirit and will. Can you tell me about this battle?"
"Don't worry, the Third General Hospital and the Department of Negative Cleansing are official cooperative institutions. We will never disclose the secrets of the negative cleaning divisions to outsiders."
…
Xie Zhi finally told the doctor and Wang Dazhuang everything that happened with the Moon Head Virus and Crazy Scissors in his thinking palace.
At the end of the story, it ends with Crazy Scissors merging with himself. Xie Zhi conceals the blue pattern on his right wrist, but such a little secret is not important because the story itself is enough for Dr. Sima Xi to make a judgment.
"Should I say whether you are lucky or unlucky..."
Dr. Sima Xi sighed, and Xie Zhi noticed that his sitting posture changed from relaxed and listening at the beginning, to sitting upright, to leaning on the chair as if giving up thinking, and finally the doctor spoke,
"The scientific name for your symptom is spiritual entanglement."
"Spiritual entanglement?"
"The spirit refers to the incarnation of your emotions, which is the materialization of part of your soul energy; the body refers to your body in reality, which is you who can't eat at all now."
"With a very small probability, the negative purge masters will encounter fatal events that occur in the Thought Palace, such as the materialized virus invading the Thought Palace, and the emotional incarnations guarding the Thought Palace rising up to resist. I have seen such things in my ten years in the industry. The number of times was only five times.”
"There is a very small chance that your emotional avatar will be evenly matched against the emotional virus entity that invades your mind. Your emotional avatar can barely defeat the emotional virus, but you are also on the verge of collapse."
"And this is the necessary and sufficient condition for spiritual entanglement to occur."
"If the emotional incarnation cannot defeat the emotional virus entity, then the Negative Masters will lose themselves when the emotional virus invades the palace of thought and become an irreparable emotional disease monster; but if the emotional incarnation is too strong, for the Negative Masters Generally speaking, the invasion of emotional viruses is like a common cold, it will pass after a while.”
"So I say, you're lucky."
"But that's also the unfortunate part."
"Spiritual entanglement, just like its literal meaning, your emotional incarnation has to combine two individuals who are on the verge of destruction in order to preserve the stability of yourself and yourself. You have me, and I have you."
"Now you are both Xie Zhi and Crazy Scissors. For you, Crazy Scissors is not just the incarnation of your emotions, it has become a part of your body. At the same time, you have also become Crazy Scissors. Part of it.”
"That's why the Crazy Scissors cling to your back and match your every move."
"Because you are it, it is you."
Xie Zhi finally realized what the humanoid phantom behind him was, but when he suddenly realized it, he still had great doubts about why he couldn't eat.
"So, what is the connection between spiritual entanglement and the inability to eat?"
Sima Xi shook his head and said,
"It's not that you can't eat, it's just that because of the entanglement of the spirit body, the body gradually becomes the same as the soul energy entity."
"I don't understand." Xie Zhi blinked.
Wang Dadui understood it and scratched his head.
"The doctor said that you are now like a ghost. You cannot eat food eaten by humans."
