"The camera is off?"
In the interrogation room, Zhou Qi asked with interest.
Zhang Xiansheng laughed dumbly: "You know everything."
But then he shook his head again and said: "The camera is not turned off. I just made a normal note. Now is the time to talk about business."
"..." Zhou Qi looked at the cameras scattered in several corners: "So?"
"So," Zhang Xiansheng pointed in the direction of the wall, "Now there is a group of experts and professors standing outside. You know, they are all psychology majors."
"Oh..." Zhou Qi showed a knowing expression when he heard this.
In the past, when he dealt with the country, there had to be such a link.
Because the "doomsday" itself is a proposition that cannot be falsified, no matter what method he uses to prove or explain, the country will not be gullible. There will always be a strict process of proof... Well, that is to say, arrest him, interrogate, Questions, etc., and a lot of psychologists were asked to analyze whether he was lying and whether he had any other purpose...
This resulted in Zhou Qi spending a lot of time and experience racking his brains to deal with the authorities.
All kinds of psychological games, all kinds of traps.
Then slowly build trust through running-in and confrontation again and again...
Therefore, Zhou Qi mostly developed on his own later on.
It’s not because of blind confidence or that the pattern is too small.
But because, when the result has been determined, it is too tiring to do that...
With this thought, Zhou Qi's eyes returned to focus, and then he moved his buttocks and asked, "Can we still talk about curing the disease?"
"..." Zhang Xiansheng was staring at him quietly all the time. After hearing this, his expression did not change, but his eyes suddenly became much deeper.
"If you can speak, I am qualified to listen." Zhang Xiansheng said slowly.
Zhou Qi pondered for a moment: "What's wrong with you?"
"Gastric signet ring cell cancer was discovered a month ago and is in the advanced stage." Zhang Xiansheng's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. But after he finished speaking, he paused and then said: "But there are conditions. If it’s not allowed, then don’t say it, you have to say something that actually exists and is useful.”
This means that if the disease can only be cured because of changes in the world after the end of the world, then there is no need to say it. What Zhou Qi has to do now is to prove his value in the "normal world".
"Is that so..." Zhou Qi showed a thoughtful expression.
"..." Zhang Xiansheng stared at him.
"I remember, there is a way." After a few seconds, Zhou Qi said seriously: "Can you give me a glass of water first? Any water will do, but it must be boiled, not raw."
Zhang Xiansheng glanced at the camera and said, "Well, someone will hear it and send it right away. What else?"
"Gone."
"No more? Just a glass of water?"
"Yes, but my request is that after the water is delivered, the camera must be turned off to ensure that no one knows what is happening here, and then turned on again after one minute."
"..." Zhang Xiansheng's face looked a little off, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to treat your illness, and I'll make sure the medicine cures it."
"Bring me a glass of water to cure my illness? Are you kidding me here?"
"Okay, it's time to explain." Zhou Qi leaned forward and asked with a mysterious face: "Do you know about the placebo effect?"
"?" Zhang Xiansheng's face showed confusion, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Qi: "To put it simply, you must first believe that this glass of water can cure you."
Zhang Xiansheng: "???"
Zhou Qi saw that his expression was wrong, and quickly added seriously: "That is to say, I want to hypnotize you first... It doesn't matter if you don't know what it is, it will save you some energy in a while, but there must be people outside who know, in a while You can ask them after the treatment.”
"..."
Zhang Xiansheng frowned, fell silent, and nodded very slowly.
…
At the same time, the spacious hall, in front of the large surveillance screen, was also plunged into a strange atmosphere.
The hall is now filled with all kinds of people, roughly divided into two groups. One group is experts, professors, and doctors with a relatively old-school temperament and bookish style. They carefully stare at the various details of Zhou Qi in the interrogation room. Stop recording, analysis, and discussion.
Su Zhiyun was also among them, but she did not participate in any topics. She just sat at the edge, leaning on her chin and watching quietly.
The other group consisted of uniformed Public Security Bureau personnel, including ordinary police officers and some senior cadres.
At this moment, in the Public Security Bureau,
A Mediterranean uncle who seemed to have a bad temper couldn't stand it anymore: "What the hell, it's a waste of time... Stop interrogating him, lock him up quickly!"
He is the director of the Zhonghai City Public Security Bureau.
After saying this with a dark face, he turned around and left.
But then someone stopped him: "Director, why don't you take a look again? What if it really works?"
"Yes, Director, no matter what, this kid is indeed special. We must give him a chance..."
"..." Director Mediterranean's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he opened his mouth to curse: "Are you out of your mind? Do you even dare to believe such words? If you don't have the time, you might as well go to the temple to burn incense sticks!"
Several police officers around wanted to say something, but they all looked at each other and sighed.
The person who usually has the best relationship with Captain Zhang is the director. Now, knowing that he has a terminal illness, the director must feel uncomfortable...
But they also feel uncomfortable.
"It is true that late-stage gastric cancer is still the most difficult to treat signet ring cell cancer...how can it be cured so easily?"
"What that kid is talking about is mysterious, but it's actually psychotherapy... It's used in big hospitals, but it's really just that, and the effect is very average."
"Oh, you tell me, it's really a twist of fate that Lao Zhang got this kind of disease... I asked before, and he said he had a slight stomach bug."
"His wife and children probably don't know yet."
"Yes, but without this boy, we wouldn't know..."
At this moment, a thin-looking older cadre said slowly: "Director Liu, let's listen first. The reason for locking up this kid is not just to ask him how to cure the disease, but also for the sake of the overall situation."
Director Mediterranean heard this and said angrily: "The overall situation is bullshit! I think this kid is just pretending to be a ghost!"
The older officer's eyes darkened when he looked at him: "Director Liu, are you usually so irritable towards prisoners?"
"..." Director Mediterranean froze, and then he realized that he was so angry that he dared to talk to the director like this.
He calmed down, although he was still a little angry, but he finally waved his hand: "Okay, okay, look, look, let's see how long this kid can keep pretending."
After saying that, he folded his arms and continued reading.
…
At this moment, in the interrogation room, the two of them were already chatting.
Zhang Xiansheng asked questions in a casual tone, all of which sounded very ordinary.
Things like "What kind of girl do you like?" "What do you want to do in the future?" "Do you have much contact with your family?"
Zhou Qi was quite interested and spoke eloquently.
but……
The experts and professors observing from the outside frowned more and more...
at this time.
The interrogation room door was pushed open.
The policewoman who had been taking notes came in carrying a pot of steaming boiling water and an empty glass.
Zhou Qi's face was straight: "Why is it boiling water? Why is it just a cup? How can I drink this?"
"??" The policewoman paused.
Zhang Xiansheng was also stunned: "You want to drink too?"
"Absolutely. I've been sitting here for so long and I haven't even drank a sip of water..." Zhou Qi said with a dissatisfied look on his face. However, when he saw the increasingly unkind eyes of the two policemen, he immediately changed the subject: "My It means, how can your captain drink this boiling water? Do you want to burn him to death? Let me tell you, you cured your stomach cancer like this, but as a result, esophageal cancer came."
"..."
The policewoman was a little embarrassed and looked at Zhang Xiansheng.
Zhang Xiansheng waved his hand: "It's okay, just let it cool."
The policewoman glared at Zhou Qi and walked out.
When Zhou Qi saw this, he could only say angrily: "Okay, let's turn off the monitoring first."
Zhang Xiansheng frowned: "Shut it down now?"
"Well, I've already brewed it. I can't wait any longer. Turn it off now, and then turn it on again in one minute... Oh, the hot water needs to cool down for a while, so wait three minutes before turning it on again."
"..." Zhang Xiansheng glanced at the camera.
Outside the interrogation room.
The thin-looking director put his hands behind his back and said, "Close it."
Director Mediterranean immediately retorted: "No, we can't lock him up! This guy is too unreliable! What if something unexpected happens?"
The director said: "If the special prisoner chair and alloy handcuffs can't stop him, then it doesn't matter whether he is locked or not."
The director said harshly: "But this is against the rules!"
Other police officers echoed.
"Yes, it's against the rules to shut it down."
The director shook his head: "Rules don't work here, we can't treat it with common sense."
Another person said: "Then there is no need to close it... He doesn't know whether we have closed it or not."
But the director said calmly: "No, he knows."
While everyone was confused, the director continued: "Do you remember the question Captain Zhang asked after he came in and said that sentence?"
An old detective heard this and said, "You mean...'The camera is turned off?'"
"Yes," the director nodded slightly: "When he asked this question, the expression on his face was very interesting. He seemed to be waiting for Zhang Xiansheng to say 'off' and then couldn't wait to show something. But Zhang Xiansheng should also look at it. This was revealed, so Kaicheng announced all the facts, and then he became quiet."
"Oh..." Some police officers suddenly realized. They had been wondering why Captain Zhang told the truth directly after entering.
If it were them, they would definitely start cheating as soon as they entered.
The director continued: "Moreover, there are three cameras in the interrogation room. When taking the transcript, only one was turned on, so he only looked at that one. Now all three are turned on, and he has looked at them all."
"Hiss..." A group of people gasped.
After hearing this, the operator on the side silently turned off the cameras.
In an instant, they lost all the images and sounds in the interrogation room.
For a moment, the hall felt a little depressed.
Many police officers began to discuss in a low voice "Can a glass of boiling water cure cancer?"
at this time.
A handsome man with gold-rimmed glasses walked out from the group of experts,
Smiling: "Actually, this method is really possible to succeed. After all, in the medical field, psychotherapy has always existed, and the most miraculous one is cancer. As long as the patient is willing to believe that he can be cured, and face it with a positive and optimistic attitude Every day, most cancer cells can be killed."
As soon as this statement came out.
It immediately attracted the attention of the police officers.
Director Mediterranean also looked over in surprise.
Someone raised a question: "Everyone knows this, but this is obviously not a safe and practical method, right?"
Someone said: "Yeah, this kind of thing sounds simple, but it also needs to be combined with drug treatment, and the effect may not be that good..."
"No matter how much psychological therapy is used, in this environment, a glass of water can cure the disease? Then what's the use of a doctor..."
The handsome man smiled noncommittally and continued: "It is indeed a bit exaggerated, but it is not impossible... Do you know why this method is not effective? The key to the problem is that cancer has been recognized by everyone When it becomes a terminal illness, it is very difficult to overcome this mentality, so it cannot be widely used.”
Someone immediately asked: "In other words... we just need to find a way to make Captain Zhang believe that cancer can be cured."
The handsome man nodded slightly: "Yes, that's it in a nutshell, so the focus is not on the glass of water, but on how to hypnotize Captain Zhang. This may sound outrageous, but it has scientific basis. This has spread to many fields. , psychological, spiritual, biological, etc... we psychiatrists occasionally encounter this kind of situation."
The police officers looked at each other: "This is too weird."
The handsome man smiled: "It's not evil, it's just that it's hard for ordinary people to access it. As you said, this method also needs to be combined with physical therapy. Ordinary people can't even afford medicine, so how can they have the money to find a powerful person?" How about a psychiatrist to treat it? So, this is actually not a matter of probability. If conditions permit, this is a miracle that will inevitably happen."
"So?" Mediterranean Director Liu frowned: "After all that, is this guy reliable?"
"..." The handsome man was silent for a rare moment, then he looked back at the experts who looked not so good-looking, and said slowly: "I don't know."
The director's face turned ugly again: "Don't know?"
After talking so much, I don’t know what’s the last one?
Are you kidding here?
At this moment, the handsome man sighed: "Yes, theoretically there is a possibility of miracles happening, but at present, no one can perfectly hypnotize people... The only thing we can conclude now is that he Very confident, we can't trace where his confidence comes from, nor do we know how far he can achieve... In fact, we really can't be sure about him. From his words and deeds, we can't see anything at all. Useful information, he...how should I put it, in my opinion, his behavior has no purpose, it is just for fun."
At this time, other experts also noticed the conversation.
Someone came up and said, "Yes, to a certain extent, he is like a... child."
Someone said: "Yes, a child who doesn't understand anything, acts without scruples, does whatever he wants, and says what he wants."
"But it's not quite the same, because the child seems to have no purpose, but is also driven by instinct."
"I think so."
Some people started discussing this issue.
Suddenly, Su Zhiyun in the corner said: "Doesn't he look like an old man? An old man who has lived for many, many years, has seen many, many things, has no desires, no scruples, and is like a child... old man?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
"It seems...yeah."
"I remember, he said, he was reborn hundreds of times?"
"As the saying goes, a man remains a boy until he dies..."
"..."
Just then, someone asked:
"It seems...three minutes have passed, right?"
