Chapter II Contract
"The first question is that there is a person in front of you who is suffering from illness. He has no cure and can only wait for death in pain. If you have a gun in your hand, you will...
A: Try to communicate with him and let him regain his confidence in living
B: Call the police and let others deal with this matter
C: End his pain with a gun and surrender himself
D: End his pain and cover up his crimes”
It is obvious that this is a very ordinary psychological test, and next, there will be a series of similar questions, each option corresponds to a score, and finally adds, subtracts, and roughly determines a person's psychological condition.
But this kind of test is too general and very inaccurate, and it is impossible to be a psychological assessment of a mental patient...
"So, this is not a test that determines whether I'm discharged from the hospital or not." Chen Xiao thought.
While reaching such a conclusion, he was also thinking about the questions raised by Ms. Liu, just like he was able to think about many things at the same time and not interfere with each other.
First of all, he naturally knew what the results these four answers mean. So what would he do after putting aside the options? Will he kill him? Will he try to save him? Or call the police? Maybe he would look at him in pain, then laugh at him, maybe he would mutter in his ear how terrible this disease is, and see how long it will drive him crazy. Or...
For a moment, countless possibilities appeared in his mind, but to Chen Xiao’s surprise, he didn’t know what he would do.
This is a very strange feeling. Everyone should have a subconscious projection of themselves, such as knowing that they are afraid of spiders, knowing that they will hurt after being scalded by boiling water, and knowing that their wife will be angry after being slept with others. This is a kind of self-thinking similar to instinct.
But Chen Xiao didn't seem to have such ability. Countless possibilities were like a large turntable that kept turning until the moment it stopped, he couldn't know what he would do.
This wonderful feeling made Chen Xiao feel... very interesting! He even felt a little like laughing!
Of course, he wouldn't really laugh. This lack of self-control can be classified as crazy, but not stupid. Chen Xiao knew his situation very well.
So he thought about all the above questions in less than one tenth of a second, and then took nine tenths of a second to glance at the window on the right side of the room, smelled the smell in the room, and blinked his eyes. Then he said in a sure but unpretentious tone: "B!"
Ms. Liu drew a few strokes on the file and continued to ask the next question.
......
These questions are similar, including compassion, values, respect for life, etc. Most of them are very simple, so people know what to choose when they hear the answer. Chen Xiao felt a little bored.
So he began to use his mind again, answering questions while observing the surroundings.
Well... the wall was painted not long ago, and the decoration was pretty good. There were water dispensers and air conditioners. Although there were many books on the bookcase, they were obviously not needed for office work, so she might not have a lot of work to deal with. Even if there was a job, it was not about the patient. Although the chair was not big, it was obviously very comfortable. It was the type that would not feel uncomfortable even if you lie down and sleep. The hospital should not configure a single room for ordinary doctors. In other words, this woman would probably be a senior figure in the hospital, which can also explain why he did not wear a badge. However, judging from her behavior and expression, she should be a person who has been on the front line of work for a long time.
At this time, Chen Xiao's eyes were attracted by some things at the top of the bookshelf. These things include pens, books, a very thick transparent thermos cup, the kind without a handle. Through the wall of the cup, you can see half of the tea and a photo frame, but you can't see the photos in the photo frame.
Chen Xiao turned his gaze to the work desk again, and then he quickly came to a conclusion.
That is, this office is not the one in front of Ms. Liu, she just borrowed it temporarily. Not only because Chen Xiao did not find the ashtray, but also from the huge water cup, it can probably guess that its owner should be a man, and he respects or fears Ms. Liu in front of him. It is not just out of politeness to clean the table so clean. Although it is not completely certain, such reasoning can temporarily explain some of the questions that arise before.
Then, another problem arose. Ms. Liu should not be from this hospital? Otherwise, she would not have to borrow this office temporarily, and it would be even more impossible to conduct such a simple and meaningless psychological test. She is a staff member of another unit or organization. Even if she is, she should be from the grassroots level, otherwise she would not be sent to such a place at night.
Oh, by the way, Chen Xiao must know that it is night, after all, he just looked out the window. At the same time, in the second between Ms. Liu's first question and Chen Xiao's answer, he also saw that there was no light outside the window and that the house was not cold. Although it felt like the season was not present in the temperature, it was confirmed that there was no artificial heating such as heating. There was no frost on the mirror, not late autumn or winter. Of course, it was not ruled out that he was in a tropical area. Not sleepy at all, maybe he was a night owl? The greater possibility is that it is not too late now. Assuming it is spring now, there is the greatest possibility between 8:00 and 12:00 pm. The window is very quiet, without cars, water, wind, and very remote.
So, where grassroots personnel in this place would make senior leaders of such a large neurological hospital respect this way? It can even discharge me, a mentally ill patient who should be considered very dangerous, so what should I do if I go out to endanger society? It should be unlikely that there will be a place with such great power.
Chen Xiao just thought about it, and Ms. Liu's test seemed to be coming to an end.
"The last question, um... are you an anti-socialist, yes or not!"
Chen Xiao frowned. Judging from the previous tests, it was obvious that this problem was a bit irresponsible. He looked at Ms. Liu's expression again, with a faint impatient... At this time, Chen Xiao had another guess and immediately confirmed it.
"Uh..." He hummed with his nose. This was a very subtle pronunciation, short and small, so hard that it was a little hard to hear, but he could probably know that it was a syllable, which was a bit like "um". If this pronunciation answers the question, it should represent the answer "yes". However, because it is too vague, most people will have questions and have to confirm it. At this time, Chen Xiao could change the answer to "No!"
Then why did Chen Xiao do this? Because he wanted to see Ms. Liu's reaction.
Sure enough, she did not confirm the answer to Chen Xiao, but instead took a long sigh of relief as if she had finally completed a boring mob. After that, she seemed much more relaxed and made a stroke on the archive book.
At this moment, Chen Xiao should be able to confirm that this test is actually irrelevant.
"Then the highlight should be behind," he thought.
Just as he thought, Ms. Liu turned around, threw the file folder onto the desk, then picked up a book similar to a contract, then grabbed something again, and returned to Chen Xiao again.
"Congratulations, after passing the psychological test, you are extremely honored to have a chance to cooperate with us." She said, speaking a little faster, and this passage should be said frequently.
"Our company is developing some new products. You don't need to know what they are yet. You just need to know that you are selected as a volunteer to test some of their performance. There may be dangers during the test, but you know that drinking water is at risk of choking to death. In short, after you complete these performance tests, you will be released, and all your past crimes, danger records, disease certificates, and all things that have adverse effects on you will be erased. You can return to society to start a new life." Ms. Liu continued to say in an orderly manner, and then she picked up the notebook in her hand and turned to the last page.
"Just press a handprint on it!" she said: "Now you have 20 seconds to consider whether to fight for the opportunity to freedom or to go back to that ward to spend the rest of your life. Oh, there are 10 seconds left, 9, 8..."
This is a very simple dialogue technique. Put two options that are very different in front of you, and then use time to urge you to make a choice quickly. At this time, almost everyone will rush to choose the option that looks extremely beautiful, so they have no time to think about what is hidden behind it.
But Chen Xiao is different. He knows very clearly what these two options mean. If the contract is signed, it will definitely be a huge pit. When people know the truth, they will regret the decision they made today.
So he had almost no time to think, and said directly: "I agree!"
Uh...yes, he agreed.
Because another option was something he could not accept, Chen Xiao could not stand being pushed back to the ward like this. Even if he would face any terrible things after signing this contract, at least it would be more interesting.
Interesting!... Chen Xiao suddenly thought of this word, and seemed to have found something that was extremely important to pursue at all costs.
"Life must be interesting!" He thought, and unconsciously cracked the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh!
"Oh! It's really..." Ms. Liu in front of her muttered, and Chen Xiao knew that the second half of her sentence was the word "disgusting".
As for what makes me sick when I smile?
At this time, Ms. Liu frowned, put a piece of ink paste next to Chen Xiao's right hand, and then said, "Press it."
Because the wrists were tied very firmly, Chen Xiao struggled to touch the ink, which was sticky and uncomfortable.
Immediately, Ms. Liu handed over the document again.
"Press!" she said very simply.
Chen Xiao also tried his best to press his thumbprint on the contract again.
Ms. Liu picked up the contract and looked at it, nodded slightly, turned around and held the documents on the table in her arms.
Then he pushed the door open and walked out.
Chen Xiao heard her say to the medical staff who was pushing the cart standing at the door: "I'll be picking him up tomorrow morning..."
"Yes, Miss Liu!" said the man.
Chapter completed!
