"Fox?" Zhang Erni pointed at Wang Qiyi and smiled from ear to ear, "You are so young that your eyesight is not good, you are not as good as me! This is obviously a bastard, where did the fox come from? It's nonsense!"
The cleaner's aunt pouted her lips and made a gesture of spreading her hands towards Yue Chenyang, and whispered: "Look, I said she is old and confused, right?"
"This old lady is very interesting. She usually remembers exactly what she ate three times a day, but she becomes confused when her grandson comes. She doesn't know how to speak, and many people say she is pretending to be sick on purpose."
The cleaners with quick hands and feet quickly cleaned up the floor with sweeps and mops, but after all, it was a spacious dirt yard. Even though there were many flowers and plants, it could not stop the dry climate, and dust would fly when the wind blew.
Keeping everything clean and tidy depends on the diligence and promptness of the cleaners.
"The old lady is not Alzheimer's."
Yue Chenyang opened the door and glanced into the room. The on-site teaching explained: "The common manifestation of Alzheimer's disease is cognitive function decline. Memory loss means that you will gradually lose track of things. The most typical one is recent memory loss. But the cleaner said she could remember clearly three meals a day, which is not a symptom of Alzheimer’s disease.”
Wang Qiyi suddenly realized, "The key lies in Liu Zhen! The old lady was confused when she saw him. She was either pretending or... No, didn't Liu Zhen have meritorious deeds in saving people last month? But grandma last year After being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, he was already admitted to a nursing home.”
If there is any extraordinary power at work, the conflict with the power of merit in Liu Zhen's body should have only started last month, and the timing does not match up.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this big bastard is really rare." Zhang Erni, who couldn't hear the conversation, patted its round head and beamed, "Big man, where did you buy this bastard? Look at the mouth that opens and closes as if it can talk."
Wang Qiyi:......
Grandma, the talking bastard is trying to cure you!
If you always pretend to be confused when you really see your grandson, I won't be able to earn that little merit.
Being rude, he sighed and suddenly had an idea, "That's not right. Under normal circumstances, whether the elderly or children pretend to be sick, they do it to gain attention from their relatives. But the old lady had been living with her grandson before she was confused. Instead, He was sent to a nursing home because he was confused and couldn't take care of himself. Isn't it counterproductive to deliberately pretend to be sick?"
"Could it be that...the old lady is hiding from her grandson on purpose?" Yue Chenyang rubbed his beard and was a little confused about the situation for a while.
He is an expert at fighting and killing, but he is not very good at using his brain. After all, most demon bears have simple minds and well-developed limbs.
"We still have to start with the anomalies we sensed." He took Wang Qiyi around the entire nursing home. Inspiration didn't find anything more obvious, so he had to go back to the lobby.
When exploring the entire map, in order not to miss any suspicious spots, Wang Qiyi would not stop as long as he could use his spiritual vision. In the end, he could not find any abnormalities, but his eyes turned red with exhaustion.
"I still feel that there is something fishy about the old lady." He rubbed his eyes with his paws, squatted in the corner and whispered to Yue Chenyang: "I can't explain why, but I just feel that I need to start with her to investigate."
Yue Chenyang sat on the wooden bench with his long legs crossed, nodding in a bohemian manner, "This is the sixth sense, we also call it inspiration. As the saying goes, just follow your feeling, an old man who can see spiritual bodies Madam, she is worthy of attention in her own right.”
"If she is not suffering from Alzheimer's disease or pretending to be confused, what extraordinary power can affect the confusion and decline of memory?"
This paragraph was originally the lesson that was going to be taught today. Yue Chenyang invited Zhai Youyou to come over and listen to the lecture together.
"First of all, we need to have a simple understanding of Alzheimer's disease, so that it is easier to compare and judge. A very typical symptom of Alzheimer's disease is recent memory loss, but long-term memory still exists, which means that the other person cannot remember what just happened, but how many times has it happened? I can still remember things from ten years ago very clearly.”
"The most common supernatural force that is mistakenly diagnosed as Alzheimer's disease is the shadow-eating bug. This kind of bug usually hides in the shadow of the host and quietly eats up the other party's memory. But the interesting thing about the shadow-eating bug is: they Just choose the flavor you like to devour.”
"Some only like happy memories. After devouring them, the host will gradually fall into pain, unable to feel happiness and happiness, which will lead to depression and suicide; some are called happy bugs. They only eat painful memories, and all the memories of the host will be lost. It’s joyful.”
"The memory loss after being inhabited by the shadow-eating bug is only for a certain event. There is no distinction between recent memory and long-term memory."
Wang Qiyi's bastard eyes widened in shock, "In other words, some people who are depressed and commit suicide may not be sick or really depressed, but are inhabited by insects? Then... what should we do if we encounter them?"
Zhai Youyou took out a notebook and prepared to take notes.
Yue Chenyang glanced at the lively free clinic activities in the yard from a distance, and lowered his voice and said: "Shadow-eating bugs will hide in the shadows. When checking, you should pay attention to whether the host's shadow is abnormal. It may be different shades; The rules are slightly squirming. Once determined, a strong light will be used to illuminate the host's shadow."
"If there are no conditions, you can also let the host bask in the sun more; it would be better if the host can do exercises such as walking and running in the sun. Soul-eating insects are lazy and afraid of the sun. If they are always exposed to the sun, they will find opportunities to escape. Go hide in other shadows.”
"The most taboo thing is to lock yourself in a room without sunlight. The more soul-eating worms will multiply, the faster they will eat up the memories. The happy worms are a little better. They will take the initiative to look for them after eating up the painful memories. One host; but if the worms that eat up happy memories multiply, the host's suicide mortality rate will be very high."
He had just observed carefully that when the elderly in the nursing home sat in the sun, there was no problem with their shadows.
There was no influence of Soul-eating Insects; the threat he felt when he first entered the hall also disappeared. Yue Chenyang decided that after Lu Yunyao had checked everyone's bodies and still couldn't find anything abnormal, he would have to report the situation to the captain and let him check in person. .
"There is one final situation, which does not entirely fall under the influence of extraordinary power."
He thought for a moment and then explained: "When the end of life is approaching, some people's physical condition seems to be very good, but their minds become confused. In fact, the body's spirituality and energy are slowly dissipating. If the spirituality cannot drive the body, memory decline will occur. .”
Wang Qiyi raised his hand and continued: "This is understandable, just like the graphics card is too poor to run the game and the screen freezes."
Yue Chenyang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, yes, the metaphor is fine, but..."
He didn't say the second half of the sentence. A fashionista who claimed to be a 5G surfer actually heard this metaphor from the mouth of a bastard who had never used a computer. For a moment, he didn't know whether to praise him for his extensive knowledge.
After a detailed examination by Lu Yunyao, the old woman's physical condition was okay, and her death was not imminent for the time being;
Without the shadow-eating bug to inhabit, all possibilities were ruled out, and her attitude towards Liu Zhen could only be that of a pretended fool.
But Wang Qiyi still always felt that something was not right. Seeing the free clinic event ended and the dean arranged for everyone to take a group photo, the big bastard rubbed his face with his paws, wondering what was wrong with this nursing home? What was that visceral fear that you felt when you first entered the hall?
