Coincidentally, Lin Xi later encountered a situation that seemed to be "possessed by a ghost".
A young couple came to her seeking help.
They said their son had also recently undergone a drastic personality change.
At first, she became completely dazed, not saying a word, just sitting on the bed like a soulless puppet.
The two thought he was sick, but he didn't respond when they asked him where he felt unwell. They suggested taking him to the hospital, but he still didn't react.
Before they could even suggest taking their son to the hospital, they discovered that their son had started talking to himself again.
Moreover, what he said didn't sound like something a seven-year-old kid would say at all; it was just like what his deceased grandmother said—a constant stream of trivial nagging and scolding.
The key point is that when their son said these things to them, the way he looked at them was completely unfamiliar, as if the people standing in front of him were strangers, not his parents.
After a while, the son rolled his eyes and fell back onto the bed.
But he opened his eyes again very soon.
But this time he was like a different person, turning into a "teacher" and starting to teach right there on the bed. Even without any students, he acted as if he were in a classroom, completely absorbed in his teaching.
The couple were terrified by their son's reaction and, without waiting to hear what he was thinking, took him straight to the hospital.
Surprisingly, as soon as they stepped out of the room, their son woke up and asked them blankly how he had woken up and was already at the door, and whether he didn't have to go to school today.
Seeing their son's blank look, the couple were shocked again and hurriedly asked him if he remembered what had just happened.
The son shook his head, indicating that he had just been sleeping.
The son's answer made the couple realize that he had no recollection of his strange behavior just now.
After checking and observing carefully, they found that their son's expression was very serious, and they could not tell that he was lying.
Besides, my son is only seven years old. At such a young age, he wouldn't do something like this to scare them, would he?
To ensure their son's safety, they took him to the hospital for a check-up.
Upon examination, it turned out that the son was perfectly healthy.
As for the unusual behavior he exhibited this morning, there are many possibilities, and it is currently impossible to determine the cause. We can only ask the parents to observe him further.
Because of their son's condition, the couple hasn't sent him to school yet, worried that he might suddenly "fall ill" at school again.
After that, they followed the doctor's advice and avoided agitating their son, carefully observing his every move.
They later discovered that their son's condition was "sometimes good and sometimes bad."
If he's very relaxed at home and they don't bother him, he's perfectly normal.
But once they start to discipline him, such as telling him not to eat too many snacks or watch TV for too long, their son will show the same unwilling expression as before.
Then, with his eyes closed, he collapsed, and when he opened his eyes again, he was a completely different person.
And each time he transforms into a different person, he portrays them all vividly, as if there really is such a soul within him.
Sometimes, she would even inexplicably appear in their room at night and stand silently by the bedside, staring at them—it was incredibly eerie!
The couple were frightened every time, worried that something might happen to their son again, so they had no choice but to give in and do whatever their son said, and dared not bother him again.
During this time, they also took their son to see a doctor, but the doctor still couldn't come up with any useful conclusions, because their son was normal when they saw the doctor.
This couldn't go on forever. The couple felt that their son's behavior was really wrong, so they finally decided to consult a master.
Let's see if our son is possessed by something, or if there's a problem with their feng shui that's affecting him.
If this isn't resolved soon, my son won't be able to go to school, let alone live a normal life.
When Lin Xi arrived, she found that not only was there no problem with the feng shui of their house, but their son was also not possessed by a ghost.
The reason he often transforms into "another person" is simply because he doesn't want to go to school!
Finally, under the control of the mantra, the child revealed the truth behind what he had done.
He said he felt it was too hard to get up early every morning to go to school, and that school was boring, so he didn't want to go to school at all.
He had previously told his parents that he didn't want to go to school, but they refused, saying that there was no room for discussion.
He gradually realized that his parents would never agree to him not going to school.
But he really hated going to school, so he started thinking of other ways.
He was also quick-witted and didn't think of faking illness.
He heard from his classmates that he was faking illness and his parents took him to the hospital to see a doctor. His lie was immediately exposed, and his classmate ended up getting a beating.
Finally, he thought about it and remembered a story his grandmother had told him before. The story was about a child who was possessed by a ghost and could only lie in bed all day, unable to do anything. His family was very worried.
When his grandmother told him this story, the backstory was that the child in the story didn't go to bed early, and was then captured and possessed by a ghost that came out at night.
Grandma threatened him, saying that if he didn't go to bed early, he would be like that little kid, targeted by a bad ghost, and he wouldn't be able to go out to play anymore, he would only be able to stay at home.
He was indeed frightened by this story when he was a child, but now that he's grown up and in elementary school, his grandmother's story not only doesn't scare him, but actually makes him yearn for it.
Staying home every day means you don't have to go to school.
It's okay if we can't go out to play, because we have snacks and a TV at home, which is much more interesting than going out.
So he decided to pretend to be "possessed by a ghost," thinking that his parents would be so scared that they wouldn't let him go to school anymore!
Moreover, his grandmother said that finding a powerful master is very difficult, and he felt that given his parents' abilities, they certainly wouldn't be able to find a master so quickly.
In that case, he wouldn't have to go to school for a long time and could play at home however he wanted!
As for what it would be like to be "possessed by a ghost," he had seen it on TV. It's just like becoming a different person. He would just imitate what he saw on TV.
It must be said that his acting skills are really good, and he is also very determined to avoid going to school. He pretended for several days without ever laughing or giving himself away.
If he hadn't spoken these words under the control of the mantra, his parents probably would never have believed that their son would actually pretend to be "possessed" to avoid going to school.
He's only seven years old, and he's already come up with such a crazy idea!
After the truth was revealed, the child naturally received a "love education" and various tutoring sessions. Not only did he have to catch up on the lessons he had fallen behind in the past few days, but he also had to learn more!
He doesn't like studying or going to school, so let's keep him studying until he likes it, and see if he dares to deceive and scare his parents like this again!
Just when Lin Xi felt that human beings had reached a point of saturation with bizarre behavior and that no one could come up with any new tricks, a group of people would refresh her understanding once again.
It can only be said that her imagination is still too limited.
......
Time flies, and this semester is drawing to a close.
Although Lin Xi and his classmates spent most of the semester on field archaeology internships, they still had to take a final exam.
Lin Xi started spending time at the library with Xu Jing and the others again.
