Chapter 637 More abnormalities
"Neat and symmetrical?" Jiang Baimian asked in confirmation.
Lawrence pointed to the coffee table quite affirmatively:
"Yes.
"Look at ......"
Uh, if Xiaohong were here, hearing these words, she would have post-traumatic stress disorder again...... Jiang Baimian suddenly flashed such an idea in his mind.
Of course, Lawrence couldn't hear her belly slander, and continued to herself:
"There should have been a vase here, a wooden box for paper towels, and two cups for drinking water.
"But he said that the vase and the wooden box cannot be symmetrical and must be removed."
Following Lawless's words, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao set their sights on the coffee table and found that there were only four ceramic cups left for drinking water - two of which were added because they came to visit.
Symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder? While Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze, he glanced at Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao nodded at her.
However, Jiang Baimian couldn't understand what he meant by nodding now.
Do you agree with Lawless's statement, or do you hear my heart?
Lawless didn't notice the secret interaction between the two, and sighed and said:
"This is actually okay, but I am a little tired, so I have to always pay attention to the placement of things, as well as my clothes and hairstyle.
"Well, Odic won't be angry about this, he will just silently fiddle with these things into what he wants, very persistent."
This reminded Jiang Baimian of the sentence "One eye is big, the other is small, not a good person, let me help you dig them all up".
It is also a manifestation of symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder, only more violent and crazy.
After hearing this, Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin:
"What else is there besides this?"
"It's nothing." Lawless slowly shook her head, as if she was still recalling the details of getting along with Odick in the past two days.
She was silent for a moment, and said hesitantly:
"One more thing, I don't know if it's ......"
"Although it is up to the healer to decide." Shang Jianyao, who loves to play novelty and curiosity, said in the tone of a senior psychiatrist.
Lawless was very grateful that he had initially cured Odic, and believed in his medical skills, and no longer hesitated when she heard this:
"He seems to be more timid and weaker than before.
"Before going out to the Hunter Guild today, he looked in the mirror and talked to himself for a while before plucking up the courage."
Dr. Shang Jianyao nodded:
"This is a type of post-traumatic stress disorder.
"To put it simply, the tragic results of fighting the 'nightmare' before left him with a psychological shadow, he was no longer as confident as before, he was prone to fear of things with certain risks, and he was easy to appear weak in front of the strong.
"This requires long-term treatment to solve, but it's not a big problem, don't worry too much."
"I understand." Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, "No wonder I insisted on letting him stay at home and not meet those parishioners for the past two days, and he actually agreed, which is impossible under normal circumstances. Well, except for being very persistent in cleaning up and arranging, he chose to listen to me in everything else."
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao asked several times and finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Odick.
Because they were worried about an accident on Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Gnava, they did not wait for Odic to come home, took the initiative to take their leave, went down to the first floor, and sat back in the rented car.
In order not to implicate the Odic family, they drove the vehicle into several uninhabited alleys around them, and only embarked on the right road back to the Green Olive District after making several rounds and turns.
——After more citizens joined the army, the initial city became quieter during the day, and many secluded places without shops often took ten or twenty minutes for people to pass by.
"At present, it seems that Odick has four more abnormalities: mania, symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder, timidity and insanity." Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, summarized the harvest of this visit.
"It's really miserable......" The compassionate Zen Master Pudu sighed sincerely.
Anyone who stalls one of them will affect normal life, and Odick gets four at once.
Before Master Pudu finished speaking, Shang Jianyao, who was jealous of evil, added:
"So this matter can't be left alone!"
Shang Jianyao, who attaches great importance to feelings, said:
"If we can solve the minions of the 'nightmare' and find clues to deal with 'it', maybe we can help Odick truly recover."
When you said a word to me, Jiang Baimian couldn't interject.
When the sound echoing in the car calmed down, she exhaled and said:
"Will there be so many problems in one go if you go crazy caused by the influence of 'nightmares'?"
In her cognition, there should only be one person who is insane or manic.
Although symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder is serious to a certain extent and can be regarded as a mental illness, it is often not related to going crazy.
Timidity and weakness are not even mental illness.
Moreover, there is a lack of an inevitable connection between these four abnormalities, and in the field of mental illness, only mania and confusion appear together.
Jiang Baimian initially suspected that timidity and weakness were indeed the psychological shadow left by Odick after encountering a "nightmare", as Shang Jianyao said.
At this time, Shang Jianyao had become calm:
"From this point of view, Xiaobai's guess at the time was correct:
"One eye is big and the other is small, which is what Odick saw in the 'nightmare', 'Not a good person, I'll dig it out for you' are the words Odick added after he developed symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder."
Hearing these two sentences, Jiang Baimian muttered to himself:
"Appear......
She pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked sideways at Shang Jianyao:
"Why can't it be an infection?
"Before we set off to visit Odick and Lawless, we guessed that the extra anomalies on Odick might come from imitating some of the things he sensed at the time, or they were traces left after being infected with 'madness'."
Shang Jianyao slowed down, let his right hand leave the steering wheel, and rubbed his chin:
"If it is an infection or imitation, there must be a source or reference object."
"There is a person on the left, a person on the right, and a small photo frame in the middle, which is very symmetrical in itself, I said it at the time." Jiang Baimian was active in thinking and had a calm expression.
Shang Jianyao thought for a moment and said:
"You mean, 'Frame' or another person, has symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder?
"Through 'Nightmare', they 'contagion' this question to Odick?"
"Maybe......" Jiang Baimian replied uncertainly, and then sat up straight suddenly, "If this is the case, the reason why the target we are tracking always wears sunglasses is probably not because of photophobia or wanting to cover up his physical characteristics, but because his companion has symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"When he asked for directions at night, his companions were lurking around!"
…………
Green Olive Area.
Gnawa sat in the room, paying attention to replacing the high-performance batteries that needed to be charged, and at the same time idle, directly using all the cameras as "eyes" to do real-time monitoring.
This rental house is diagonally opposite, across from it by a corridor, in the room near the staircase, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong are quietly lurking.
Bai Chen and Long Yuehong took advantage of the silence in the corridor and no one passing by, so they unlocked it and hid in.
Here, they can see the situation at the staircase through the keyhole and cat's eye, and with the help of cameras installed in hidden locations, they can observe whether there is any abnormality in the rental house where Gnawa is located.
Long Yuehong went through the previous situations in his mind over and over again, so as not to forget the corresponding plan.
"Don't be too nervous, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to forget details that shouldn't be forgotten and make mistakes that shouldn't be made." Bai Chen looked outside through the cat's eyes and comforted Long Yuehong.
Yes, I can't be nervous, I have to make Xiaobai think I'm calm and reliable...... Long Yuehong took a breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm her mood.
I don't know how long it took, Bai Chen suddenly suppressed his voice and said:
"Someone came up."
Long Yuehong subconsciously leaned towards the door.
Bai Chen glanced back at him, and his voice lowered even more:
"You look at it on a computer.
"Don't crowd at the door together, that would be very suspicious in the awakened person's sense."
"Okay......" Long Yuehong lightly retracted to the side of the table that had been sorted out.
Bai Chen's portable computer has been turned on, using the temporary base station of Gnava as the signal source, displaying the picture captured by the surveillance camera at the door.
Long Yuehong glanced around and saw a man dressed in ordinary clothes and the same appearance entering the floor and turning to the right.
It is currently noon, and many people who are not far from work will choose to go home for dinner.
However, the man stopped at the door of the rental house where Gnawa was.
He stretched out his hand and slammed the door, and the voice was so loud that it came directly to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong:
"Open the door! I'm back!"
He patted for a few seconds and then tried to untie the key from his waist.
At this moment, Gnava's voice deliberately imitating humans came from behind the door:
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?" The man was surprised.
He then glanced left and right, patted his forehead and said:
"!
"Go to the wrong floor!"
He didn't apologize, turned his body, and walked quickly to the staircase, as if trying to escape this embarrassing scene.
It seems like it was just a coincidence.
But Bai Chen was careless and whispered to himself:
"Was your memory affected?"
"If that's the case......" Long Yuehong habitually echoed.
Then, he was shocked:
"As neighbors on the same floor as the target, will we be quietly looked through our memories?"
