Susie's words made Lumian laugh:
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Susie laughed and said:
"It's a good thing, and one of the happiest things every psychiatrist is seeing their patients gradually come out."
Lumian asked tentatively:
"Can you move directly to the next stage of treatment?"
"Let's talk first, I'll assess your psychological state." Susie did not refuse, nor did she agree, her voice was gentle and her attitude was peaceful.
"What are you talking about?" Lumian had already almost told the story of this period of time just now.
Susie said after a few seconds:
"You can talk about any other confusion or troubles you have."
Lumian was silent for a moment and said:
"Am I really an 'unfortunate' who will bring disaster to those around me?"
This time, it was not Susie who answered, but another lady.
She smiled softly:
"If disaster is the fate of the people around you itself, it has nothing to do with you.
"The person sealed in your body by Mr. 'Fool' is not the being in the name of fate, but just an angel in the corresponding field.
"In other words, I did have the opportunity to change the fate of those people, but I missed them all?" Lumian took another sip of the espresso in his hand, and his voice became low unconsciously.
The lady maintained her tone just now:
"First of all, we need to make sure that the person who influences the fate of those people and brings them an unfortunate end is the companion of the angel of fate lurking around you, he came for sealing, for Thermibolus, and has no direct relationship with you.
"Your only problem is not doing well enough, but no one can guarantee that you will be good enough at everything."
Speaking of this, the lady said in a self-deprecating tone:
"I can understand your feelings, over the years, I have worked hard to do many things, many of them have failed, and even obviously have good intentions, but they have brought more harm and pain to others, which makes me very shocked, very guilty, shaken, and want to retreat to a place that can make me feel at peace and never leave again.
"Fortunately, during that time, I also did a lot of successful things, helped many people, prevented many disasters, and eliminated a lot of pollution, which gave me confidence and motivation, and made me firm in my ideas and ideas.
"Later, whenever I was full of confidence and very optimistic about what I wanted to do, I would recall the mistakes I had made and the failures I had encountered, so that the guilt poisonous snake hidden in my heart would wake up, reminding myself not to be careless, subjective, or despicable of anyone.
"Similarly, when I am frustrated, guilty, and painful, I also think back to the people I have helped and the disasters I have prevented, and tell myself that you are not that bad, and that your ideas and ideas do have a good side.
"The things we have experienced in the past are not only our baggage and shackles, but also our wealth and motivation."
Lumian listened intently, gradually facing the guilt in his heart, and no longer suppressing them:
If I had more experience and knowledge of the occult, perhaps some tragedy would not have happened.
This does include my problems, but it is not me who brings disaster, I just haven't done well enough, what needs to be made up for is the weakness in this area, and strive to do better and more thoroughly in the future, so that I can really save the people I want to save, and let those bastards who deliberately create misfortune suffer disasters......
In the blink of an eye, Lumian thought of the vendors, pedestrians, and tenants who fell from the "Shadow Tree", recalling his smiling feelings at the time.
Shout...... He exhaled slowly, tilted his head back slightly, leaned against the sofa and said:
"I feel much more comfortable."
He then sneered:
"The guy who helped Thermibolos and influenced the fate of me and the people around me would never have imagined that the blows and pain he brought not only did not make me collapse, despair, give up, and really go crazy, but also helped me with good psychological treatment, which significantly improved my mental condition.
"I really want to find him and say 'thank you' to him in person."
The lady chuckled:
"So I often tell Susie that psychotherapy is a very complex and delicate thing, and if you are not careful, you will get the opposite result than expected.
"No...... Here, I need to remind you of one thing:
"In the absence of sufficient evidence, the target's current intentions cannot be assumed based on his original image and purpose."
Lumian didn't understand a little:
"What do you mean?"
The lady explained in a soft voice:
"Many people are deceived because they always assume that the other person was what kind of person they were and what kind of person they are now, and that they will not change their humanity and thoughts due to environment, experience, and objective conditions.
"Taking what you just said as an example, have you considered another possibility, Thermiboulos' companions deliberately brought those misfortunes, not to break you down, but to stimulate you, awaken your inner strength, get you out of the cage of your soul, and restore your mental state?"
"How is that possible?" Lumian subconsciously responded.
Will Thermibolos' companions be so kind?
The lady smiled:
"I'm just giving an example, it doesn't mean it's true.
"But why is it impossible? Perhaps at first he wanted to cooperate with Thermipolos to influence your state in various ways and give Him a chance to break free from the seal, but gradually he found that this was an opportunity, a chance to make him an angel.
"When he receives more gifts and sees the door of the angelic rank, he can control you, draw the power of Thermibolus, and even open the seal and swallow him directly while he is weak.
"And in order to increase the probability of success, he must ensure that you are in good condition and can extract the power of Thermibolos again and again, making him weaker and weaker.
"How is it? Does he have the motivation to help you improve your mental state?"
Lumian fell silent.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that from the perspective of human nature, this was really a possibility that could not be ruled out.
After a few seconds, he retorted:
"That one who is not afraid of angering the existence in the name of fate?
"The power from the gift is certainly more influenced by those above them, who take pride in carrying out their will and are less likely to have blasphemous thoughts."
The woman in the state of "psychological invisibility" smiled meaningfully:
"The being in the name of fate only hopes for an angel who obeys him to come to the earth, and as for Thermibolos or some other giver, I don't think he has any special preferences and inclinations."
Also, if he swallowed Thermipolos, wouldn't he become an angel in the realm of fate? Maybe this is the development expected by the existence in the name of fate, Thermipolos can come if it can, if it fails, it will be sealed or purified, let other benefactors find a way to swallow his relic and become an angel, in short, the angel destined to appear on the earth, as for who it is, it doesn't matter...... Lumian thought as he nodded slightly.
Suddenly, he had an inspiration and felt that the lady suspected of holding the "Justice" card was not only taking the opportunity to teach himself, but also saying these words to Thermipoulos:
Is she creating a rift between Thermibolos and that being so that he no longer trusts his companions?
I can think of this, Thermibolos can't think of it......
Well, He can think of it, but since His companion has been detected, he should not dare to appear again for a long time and cannot communicate with Him.
Once the seeds of doubt take root and thrive, they will not be so easy to eradicate in the future!
"Audience" is scary......
Lumian sighed and said sincerely:
"I understand."
The lady smiled and said:
"Therefore, we cannot assume that a person will not change, what he originally looked like, and what he will look like in the future, always pay attention to their specific situation and figure out their thoughts.
"Other extraordinary people may not need to think so deeply, but your next sequence is 'conspirator' and must learn to analyze human nature."
Lumian nodded lightly and said to Gardner. Martin's sentence "The devil is our friend, hell is others" has a new understanding.
He continued the topic just now and said with a smile:
"Is it possible that that companion of Thermibolos was going to help me improve my mental state from the beginning?"
"There is such a possibility." The answer was Susie, "But why?"
"Why?" Lumian asked himself.
His expression suddenly changed, his body straightened up, and he trembled faintly:
"Maybe, maybe she just wants to help me, she is ......"
The lady, who was suspected of being the holder of the "Justice"card, sighed softly and interrupted Lumian's words:
"Your memory shouldn't have lied to you."
Lumian let out a long breath and leaned against the back of the sofa again.
The lady said softly:
"However, in other things, there are indeed situations where a person dies is not necessarily a real death.
"There are so many wonders in the world of occultism.
"I once met an evil god believer who died suddenly while I was about to get rid of him, because it was such a coincidence that I examined his body, checked his fate and various occult connections, and there was no problem, he was really dead, and his family and friends believed he was dead without a doubt.
"Later, while cleaning up a branch of an evil god sect, I met him again, and he changed his identity, had a new destiny, and a new occult connection.
"This time, he died completely, and I also learned from him the sequence name of an evil god's path, 'deceased', a 'deceased' who used death to escape from his original fate."
This is a bit similar to the "Alternative Technique", but it feels simpler, does not require any pre-treatment, and it seems that the original identity and destiny will not be restored after the death of the "Replacement"...... Lumian reminded me of a ritual magic that comes with the "dervishes".
