A hint of embarrassment appeared on Kong Hai's face.
To be honest, the 20,000 yuan Simon received was the worst money he had ever received.
After much effort and going to the customer's house in the middle of the night, I ended up having all my belongings turned into dried fish by the customer's cat.
Kong Hai judged the others by his own standards and thought the two guys in front of him were particularly abominable! Not only did they send their own cat to steal the money, but now they're pretending to be so! Pretend to be your sister!
But Kūkai was a monk and had some basic manners, so he just thought about it in his mind and didn't say it out loud.
Moreover, this is not the time to settle accounts with the other party, because he has to take care of his senior brother.
So Konghai ignored his roommate, but went to help his senior brother make the bed, and then helped his senior brother lie down.
Kūkai sat beside his brother's bed and peeled an apple for him.
Qianlan stopped talking and began to look through the care manual for schizophrenia patients.
However, out of professional habit, Simon took a few more glances at the monk on the bed next to him.
Simon had seen many patients commit suicide by cutting their wrists, but this was the first time he had seen a monk commit suicide by cutting his wrists.
But now I'm in the ward, so I'd better not think too much about those messy things.
"Brother, you should go to bed early." After feeding his brother an apple, Kong Hai helped him pull up the quilt. "The director just said that you are emotionally unstable. It would be best if you could get electroconvulsive therapy..."
The monk lying on the bed had his lips tightly closed, his eyes looking forward with emptiness, and shook his head stubbornly.
Kong Hai advised, "It's not a good idea to keep going like this! They say electroconvulsive therapy is the fastest way to treat depression..."
The monk lying on the hospital bed still didn't speak, and this time he even closed his eyes, obviously he was very resistant to the electroconvulsive therapy.
Kong Hai said earnestly: "Originally, I thought that when I had money, I could take you to see the best psychiatrist, but... well, now I haven't made any money, so this is the most economical and safest way..."
Qianlan couldn't help himself and interrupted, "Don't believe him! He cheated us out of 20,000 yuan last night!"
Kong Hai glared at Qian Lan, the corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.
Seeing my senior brother in this state, I, as his junior brother, really don’t want to argue with him in the hospital.
Kong Hai snorted and turned to look at his senior brother.
Unexpectedly, a voice came from behind me. The voice was calm, but it carried a reassuring power: "Actually, I don't recommend electroconvulsive therapy."
Kong Hai turned around and saw Simon getting up from the hospital bed.
Kūkai said, "What do you know? You're wearing a hospital gown!"
Simon said, "I'm a psychiatrist."
Kūkai said, "You're in a mental hospital!"
Simon pointed to the monk who had committed suicide by slitting his wrists in the bed next to him and said, "He's still a monk, and he lives here too!"
Kong Hai was speechless. He snorted angrily, turned around and went out to find the nurse here to ask for a change of ward.
The monk who had been lying on the bed without saying a word turned around and glanced at Simon.
Simon flashed his hospital gown, motioned for Light Blue to leave, and sat down on the chair beside the monk's bed. "Actually, I've never been a fan of using electric shocks to heal the soul," he said.
The monk suddenly reached out and grabbed Simon's arm.
The monk was extremely strong and held on so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Simon felt as if he were being held by a pair of iron hands.
The monk stared at Simon, his eyes shining. His pale lips trembled and he said, "That's right! I don't need electric shock! I don't need a psychiatrist like you! I'm not sick!"
Simon nodded: "I'm not a psychiatrist now, just a patient."
The monk's expression relaxed.
Qianlan stopped Zen Master Kūkai in the corridor outside the ward.
Kong Hai frowned and looked at Qian Lan: "You are a nest of snakes and rats! Your cat demon spent all the money I earned on dried fish!"
Light Blue said, "Relax, my master is very capable. He has treated snake spirits, computer monsters, mermaids, painted skins, and even the legendary cavemen. Healing a monk who committed suicide by cutting his wrists is no problem for him!"
Kong Hai snorted and said nothing. He had just consulted the nurse, but she disagreed with his request. The reason was simple - beds in the ward were very tight, and it was good enough to have a place to stay.
Kong Hai didn't speak, and Qian Lan didn't speak either.
The two of them squatted beside the chairs in the corridor, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Kong Hai thought: "The cat demon in their house is very powerful. I can only endure it temporarily and leave here at dawn to find another hospital! I owe them nothing."
Light Blue was thinking: "Well, my master's money is going fast, and the hospital bills are quite high, so even if I can get a few patients here during my hospital stay, that would be good." "Let me do the math. Six hundred an hour, three times a week, how much can I make from this monk in a month?"
In the ward, Simon took the initiative to introduce himself to the monk: "My name is Simon."
The monk clasped his hands together on the bed and said, "Amitabha, my Buddhist name is Kongxin."
Simon said, "It's strange, actually. I was perfectly fine when I suddenly had hallucinations. And they were grandiose delusions, of a pornographic nature!"
So Kong Xin was willing to speak.
That's right, Master Kongxin didn't want to chat with doctors, any doctors. Of course, he also didn't like to talk too much with his junior apprentice, because his junior apprentice loved to fight demons and defend the way.
But on this night, the young man in front of him looked completely harmless, and - a psychiatrist admitted to the psychiatric inpatient department and a monk who committed suicide by cutting his wrists, they could still have a conversation.
A bitter smile appeared on the Hollow Mage's pale face.
"You're better off than me. I'm the one who's miserable!" said the Hollow Mage, showing his hands. "To be honest, my junior brother and I are both demon-slaying monks. It's just...it's just that I..."
When he said this, Master Kongxin stopped talking.
Simon is a psychologist with enough patience. During the treatment process, he once waited for an hour without saying a word for the patient to resolve his dilemma.
Master Kongxin didn't hesitate for long before sighing, "These are all delusions! I want to become a Buddha, to emulate the Buddha and cut off my flesh to feed the eagle. So every time I encounter a monster, I feed it with my own blood, hoping to influence it!"
Simon's expression froze.
After a while, he said, "So, you didn't cut your wrists because you were unhappy?"
The hollow nodded.
Simon said, "So, you don't think life is boring, the world is empty, or that death is better?"
The hollow nodded.
Simon said, "So, you're not depressed at all!"
Of course it’s not depression! Kong Xin thought about his own experience.
It's just that he wants to become a Buddha instantly, it's just that he wants to cut his flesh to feed the eagle, it's just that he wants to defeat the devil and eliminate evil.
Depression has nothing to do with it! Unfortunately, I won’t tell my little thoughts to a doctor I’m not familiar with, even to a fellow doctor I’m familiar with.
He repeatedly insisted that he was not sick, that he was normal, and that he had just happily cut his arm with a knife. However, the more he emphasized, the more nervous the other party became, and all the doctors thought he had a very serious illness.
Finally, this afternoon, he encountered a very hungry eagle chasing a rabbit, so he saved the rabbit, but the eagle was not happy.
Zen Master Kongxin cut his wrist, let out his blood and gave it to the eagle to drink, which was enough to satisfy its hunger.
The eagle flew away, and the junior brother rushed over, but he fainted due to excessive blood loss.
When I woke up, I was in the psychiatric ward. I had no way to defend myself and was too lazy to explain myself.
At this moment, Master Kongxin looked at the patient in front of him and felt his heart open. He was still willing to chat with the patient, especially since this patient did not seem to be really sick.
So Kong Xin kindly reminded Simon, "I see a dark aura wrapped around your forehead. You must be possessed by a demon. I'm afraid you're not suffering from schizophrenia!"
Simon and the Hollow Wizard hugged each other and cried bitterly. They felt a deep sympathy for each other. Simon quickly told the Hollow Wizard in detail what had happened to him.
Master Kongxin said, "You, even as a psychologist, you're stupid! You're more introspective than this poor monk. How can that be possible?"
Simon was all ears.
The Hollow Mage clasped his hands together and said, "There are many liars in the human world, and I'm more familiar with the demon world than you are. There are even more evil spirits and liars. That monster said he was the Lord of the Demon World, and you believed him?"
A bolt of thunder flashed through Simon's heart, like a flash of lightning in the dark night, illuminating his mind.
Master Kongxin said, "You actually suspect you have schizophrenia and grandiose delusions! You should suspect that the monster is just bragging and lying!"
Simon woke up and realized that he was indeed a great monk with great attainments, who could enlighten him with just one word.
Indeed, I have been a psychologist for too long, and I have to introspect and self-examine every day, but I never thought that monsters can also lie!
Simon was not willing to accept this. He said, "Master, to be honest, my caregiver, Light Blue, is a computer geek. I don't think computers lie! He said that my little Blackie is just an ordinary little Blackie!"
Master Kongxin said, "You are stupid! He is a monster, and you still treat him as a computer machine! He has intelligence too. What if he is threatened or intimidated?"
What the mage said made so much sense that the psychologist was speechless.
Simon fell into deep thought.
Hollow glanced at Simon sideways.
Simon thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head. "Master, you're right! If this is truly an illusion caused by a broken heart, it wouldn't just happen once. And if it's truly an illusion, then only I can see it, and you can't."
Kong Xin was a high-level monk who was determined to emulate the Buddha and cut off his flesh to feed the eagle. He immediately understood what Simon meant.
Kong Xin nodded: "That's right! If it's an illusion, just take the medicine obediently. If it's really a monster! Humph... I am an expert in exorcising demons and monsters!"
The two hugged each other again.
Then the door of the ward was opened.
Qianlan and Konghai entered the ward together and saw this strange scene.
Light Blue said, "Hey, look how happy your brother is laughing right now. It's all thanks to my master!"
Kong Hai said, "Look, your master has become much more normal now. This is how amazing my brother is!"
Simon and Kongxin separated and called in their respective bed companions.
Kūkai said, "My brother charges a fee for subduing demons and monsters."
Light Blue said, "My master charges for making people happy!"
Parted on bad terms!
But soon, under Simon's instructions, Qianlan began to install cameras in every corner of the ward.
As for Kūkai, following his senior brother's instructions, he took out the elixir and cinnabar and began to draw talismans.
The night passed quickly, and these golden talismans were pasted all over the wall. Not only that, Simon's body was also covered with golden talismans.
Ding Dong!
The first round of nurse rounds begins in the morning.
"Bed 13, bed 15, the ward rounds have begun!" The nurse's pleasant voice sounded.
With a wave of his hand, all the talismans in the room were hidden. Even the talismans on Simon's skin penetrated into his skin and disappeared in an instant.
The door of the ward was pushed open, and a nurse in a pink nurse uniform came in pushing a cart with rows of medicine boxes on it.
The nurse picked up one of the medicine boxes and handed it to Simon: "Bed 13, it's time to take your medicine!"
Simon took the medicine box, but before he could open it, he saw a black figure suddenly appear at the door of the ward.
The man in black had a stern face and green eyes. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the smile on his lips looked particularly beautiful.
The man was leaning casually against the door, holding a plastic bag in his hand. Inside the bag, two pitiful roses were drooping their heads.
