The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear.
And the oldest and strongest fear is that of the unknown.
As long as you accept your sins calmly and cross the black abyss, what awaits you will be eternal magic and glory.

The sharpened pencil was held by a slender hand, resting on the form on the paper.
Du Wei raised his head and looked at the pale and haggard white woman sitting across from him.
“Ms. Aisha, now you can continue.”
“Ok… yes, Dr. Du Wei.”
Aisha closed her eyes and fell into the memories: “You know, my job is programming, and I need to deal with some work matters even after get off work, so I recently entrusted an agency, hoping to find a relatively For a relatively remote and quiet house.”
“Half a month ago, the agent told me that there is a suitable house that I can live in, and the price is relatively low. It has no disadvantages except that it looks a little dilapidated because no one has lived in it for too long.”
“My expenses were high, so I signed the contract quickly.”
“But after a week of moving in, I found something was wrong with this house.”
“Every twelve o’clock at night, the lights will dim strangely, and people’s faces can hardly be seen in the house.”
“The faucet in the bathroom is often turned on inexplicably.”
“The TV will suddenly jump, and I can’t even watch my favorite survival series.”
“And yesterday, those problems got worse.”
…
“Dr. Du Wei? Are you listening?”
“Huh? Huh! Yes, I’m listening.”
Du Wei wrote [suspected auditory hallucinations, signs of split personality, etc.] on the form while nodding for the other party to continue talking.
Aisha was a little nervous, and she paused for a moment before speaking again: “I think there may be some…something in my room.”
When she said something, her tone was very tangled, as if she was afraid, and she seemed to be resisting something.
“Dr. Du Wei, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world? Uh… or evil spirits?”
Du Wei stopped writing, looked at Aisha calmly, and asked, “Ms. Aisha, do you know why there is light in this world?”
“Um…why?”
“Because the sun is mainly composed of hydrogen, which accounts for more than 70% of its mass. Under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure inside the sun, hydrogen atoms will undergo a “thermonuclear reaction” to radiate a lot of light and heat.”
Aisha:? ? ?
…
“I don’t believe there are ghosts in this world, because it’s unscientific.”
“It’s too bad, Dr. Du Wei, you don’t know what happened to me, you can’t deny my thoughts.”
“Okay, let’s put it another way. The dimming of the lights may be due to the recent hot weather, and the voltage instability caused by the nearby residents turning on the air conditioners.”
“The faucet in the bathroom was turned on for no reason. Maybe you forgot to turn it off. After all, you are a programmer. It is normal for you to work overtime until two or three o’clock so that you are in a trance.”
“As for the problem of TV jumping, you can call the after-sales maintenance phone to solve it, or use our oriental method to slap the TV hard and try it. If it doesn’t work, then I suggest you just change it Taiwan.”
Du Wei put down the pencil, spread his hands, and shrugged at Aisha.
The other party obviously couldn’t accept the result, and said angrily: “Dr. Du Wei, this is not the answer I want. I know that many people can’t believe what happened to me, so I only told you. You have to give me a normal explanation!”
Du Wei glanced at her and said lightly: “If you insist, then this answer may be more acceptable to you.”
Speaking, he tore off the paper and handed it over.
In the form on the paper, write the following:
Name: Aisha Kleinman
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Occupation: Programmer
Illness: auditory hallucinations and uncontrollable hallucinations caused by split personality
Response drugs: risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine
Suggestion: increase the dose
…
Obviously, Aisha couldn’t accept this result.
Holding the paper, she said in a haggard voice, “I shouldn’t have come to you. You are just a psychiatrist. You haven’t experienced it yourself. You don’t understand what I have experienced. There is definitely something special in that house.” Something exists, maybe I should go to church.”
Du Wei nodded in agreement: “I think so too, but please pay the consultation fee.”
Aisha is gone.
After Du Wei saw her off, the sky had already darkened. According to previous experience, there would be no more guests coming, so he directly closed the door of the psychological consultation clinic and went back to the upstairs room. in the room.
The house he rented was the most suitable in the vicinity, with reasonable space and a lot of traffic.
The first floor has been transformed into a clinic, and the second floor is a resting place.
Taking out a thick medical record from the bookcase, Du Wei filled in Aisha’s information and symptoms on the latest page.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion. Since the opening of this psychological consultation clinic, people who come to consult or see a doctor have some strange things.
Everyone feels that they have encountered something unclean ~Soverse.com~ or ghosts, or evil spirits, or ghosts.
Is this supposed to be the same thing for westerners?
When he finished filling in Ella’s symptoms and was about to close the medical record, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned the paper to the first page again.
