After he said this, he waited quietly.
If Master Zibai doesn't come, if he doesn't dare to face his own inner demons, then we can only... talk next time!
Time passed by little by little, and no one knew how long it had been before a purple light finally appeared from the horizon. A primitive man slowly descended in the purple light and came in front of Simon.
Simon stretched out his hand, and Master Zibai hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his own hand.
When the two men held hands, Master Zibai suddenly said, "You are my enemy, but I... believe in you!"
Simon smiled.
Zibai Zhenren continued, "Because I'm paying you a very high reward, very high. For such a high reward, you won't harm me!"
Simon was at a loss for words. So, what the supervisor had said was absolutely right: Collect the money! Collect the money! You must collect the money!!
Master Zibai stood in the darkness, and the blood-soaked monster pounced on him once again!
Zibai Zhenren was trembling and trying to escape when he heard a steady voice beside him: "Don't be afraid, you won't die! This is just an illusion!"
True Man Zibai took a deep breath and watched helplessly as the bloody mouth swallowed him and then spit him out.
He suddenly felt that this time was not as scary as the first time.
"Again!" said Simon.
This is the legendary exposure therapy.
Anyway, Master Zibai can't die. If horrible things happen again and again, he will become numb to it.
Master Zibai, wearing his grass skirt, nodded vigorously.
Then the monster pounced on him again, and he was swallowed up again and spit out again.
Once, twice, three times...
At first, Simon was a bit excited and nervous. But after about seventeen or eighteen times, he felt… so bored. What should he eat tonight? Salmon or crayfish? Or perhaps sole?
"Are you still afraid?" Simon asked.
Zibai Zhenren said: "There is still a little bit."
"Then give it a score! Out of 100, what was your score at the beginning? What is your score now?"
Zibai Zhenren said: "It must have been 100 points at the beginning! No, 120 points! Now... 70 points!"
Simon felt that his dinner might be a long way off: "Then keep going! When you think it's below 50 points, tell me."
50 points is a cutoff value. Above 50 points, you will be too scared to have a good conversation! Only when the score is below 50 points, there is a possibility of mutual understanding!
True Man Zibai cheered himself up and faced another wave of devouring.
Ten times, twenty times, fifty times!
After thirty thousand years of cultivation, how much fear and terror had he accumulated towards this inner demon! !
Can it be resolved by doing it a hundred times?
Finally, when Simon was bored and counting how many muscles there were on the monster's body, Master Zibai finally felt no longer afraid!
Maybe still a little scared, but he could accept it.
Simon thought that there must be no dinner, so maybe he could look forward to breakfast tomorrow!
"Now, can you take a closer look at that inner demon?"
Master Zibai: "Do you want to come again?!"
Simon said nothing, but the inner demon jumped up happily: "Come on! Come on, it's coming! I've never felt so satisfied before! I've been hungry for so many years!"
Zibai Zhenren: ...
Simon: ...
Inner Demon: ???
Finally, before Simon could speak, Master Zibai asked, "How did you get into this state?"
The inner demon said: "Primitive people need to eat. Food is the most important thing! What's wrong with me?"
Simon couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "No... isn't reproduction important?"
The inner demon looked at Simon with disdain: "Girls are everywhere! But do you know how hard it is to get a grain of rice?"
Simon lives in a materially abundant modern society. When he came to the primitive society, he had no worries about food and drink because of computers. More importantly, it was autumn, the time when food ripened, fish were fat and rabbits were strong. He had never been hungry, so he didn't understand.
When Master Zibai heard these words, he seemed to have some feelings in his heart. He remained silent. After a while, he suddenly reached out his hand and touched the inner demon.
The inner demon was angry: "What are you doing!"
Zibai Zhenren sighed: "It's not easy for you either!"
As a result, the inner demon broke out!
It first screamed, then howled, then cried loudly, and finally howled.
The two of them didn't know what they were thinking about. True Man Zibai also followed the inner demon and cried with his head in his hands. His crying was heart-wrenching, and it was more difficult for him to eat than a newborn baby.
The inner demon cried and said, "What did I do wrong? I just grew big and had a big belly because I ate a fish! They beat me and beat me half to death!"
Zibai Zhenren shed tears silently: "You can't eat it! That's the food supply for hundreds of people in our cave for the entire winter!!"
Inner Demon: Woo woo woo!
True Man Zibai: Woo woo woo woo!
The two cried and Simon felt embarrassed.
He really wanted to empathize with them about the murder caused by a fish, but... he didn't feel anything!
He never lacked fish to eat, so perhaps Xiao Hei understood this pain.
In the end, Zibai Zhenren and the inner demon cried about the fish.
The inner demon said, "I was really hungry! At that time, I thought about food as soon as I opened my eyes, and I still thought about food as soon as I closed my eyes. Even when I slept at night, I still dreamed about food!"
Zibai Zhenren cursed: "So you, bastard, you devil, stole and ate a piece of edible mud that your own mother brought back! In the end, your own mother starved to death because of the lack of this mud!!! Do you still have ten people?!"
The inner demon erupted again: "What can I do! I'm so big and I'm so hungry! If I don't eat, I'll die!!"
As he was about to bite Master Zibai again, he burst out: "You bastard, you actually still remember this? I'm going to eat you!!"
Zibai Zhenren jumped up in fright. Seeing that the game of chase was about to begin again, Simon quickly stopped it: "Stop! Sit down!"
The two sat quietly, looking at each other with hostility.
Simon thought for a long time before saying, "So... you ate your own mother's food rations... and ended up starving her to death..."
These words were spoken to Master Zibai.
True Man Zibai was so angry that he raised his wooden staff to hit the inner demon.
Simon stopped him in time and said, "Go ask your inner demon, does he know that it will kill people?"
Zibai Zhenren shouted angrily: "Speak! You clearly know..."
“No! I don’t know!!” The inner demon roared, its four hands grasping the ground, its whole body trembling, “How could I know! How could I know!!”
He shouted "How would I know!" hundreds of times in a row, and the sound almost broke Simon's periosteum. If it wasn't for the fact that the soul that came into Simon, the psychiatrist would probably have to go to the hospital emergency department for rescue.
When the inner demon finished roaring, tears and blood flowed from his eyes under his armpits: "How could I know? If I knew, I would rather starve to death than... than..."
"So you hid your eyes under your arms because you didn't want to see this?" Simon said.
The inner demon was silent. After a long while, it finally said, "No! I just don't want to...see myself like this!"
"What does it look like?"
"Him!" The inner demon roared at Master Zibai. "Ever since he gained some skills through cultivation, he's been bothering me every day, saying I'm greedy, shameless, and that I killed the person most important to him! He beat me with a cane, a wooden stick, and whipped me with thorns, leaving me covered in blood. He said I was shameless and had no skin! Every day! Do you know how many years it has been?! How many years?! Eight hundred years, a full eight hundred years, he's been coming to beat me! Every day, as soon as he stopped cultivating, he'd come here to beat me! I hid my eyes because he gouged them out and beat the hell out of my eye sockets. I had no choice but to tuck them under my arms to avoid being hit!"
"You are a demon!" roared Zibai Zhenren.
"Yes! If I don't become a demon, if I don't practice, won't I be tortured by you every day!" The inner demon roared back.
The two men suddenly jumped up and started fighting.
Simon: ...Why is it so difficult to provide psychological treatment to cultivators? They can't even be controlled, they'll start fighting at the slightest disagreement!
The sky collapsed and the earth split, and the sky was dark.
Simon looked up helplessly and shouted weakly: "Stop fighting... Fighting is useless..."
However, both Master Zibai and the inner demon ignored him. Simon could only sit on the ground and draw circles. He thought on the bright side, that this was the next time he would continue the treatment and he could collect more medical fees!
Well, the psychological quality of a psychologist is that he will not become a demon even when facing failure :)
But at this moment, a soft and gentle figure rubbed against his legs.
Simon lowered his head, surprised: "Xiao Hei! Why are you here!"
Ming Huan flicked his tail and said, "I've already dealt with those people outside. Don't worry, I didn't kill them, I just took care of them. Qian Lan said that cultivators are different from ordinary people, and I was worried... so I came in to take a look!"
Simon lamented, "It's really hard to deal with them. They start killing each other as soon as they disagree..."
As he was talking, it started to rain. Simon touched it and it was sticky, thick, and fishy. It was like a bloody rain!
"Since they're all here, I might as well kill them all!" The black cat licked its paws. The smell of blood made this big devil very excited, and the desire to kill gradually rose.
"No!" Simon grabbed his cat. "Go and make them stop!"
"Meow!" The black cat was very unhappy, but he still did it.
True Man Zibai is very powerful, and his inner demon is also very powerful. No matter which one attacks alone, Ming Huan, who has not fully recovered, has no way to fight back.
But now they have been fighting each other for a long time, isn't it time for the black cat to gain the upper hand?
The black cat grabbed Master Zibai and the inner demon one by one and brought them back, and they sat in front of Simon in an old-fashioned way.
Simon: "My treatment is time-limited. If you two indulge in fighting and killing, we can only talk next time!"
Zibai Zhenren was very nervous: "Will I charge you for the next conversation?"
Simon: “Of course!”
The inner demon was even more nervous: "Will you accept fish as consultation fee?"
Simon: "Enough to buy a whole river of fish!"
Zibai Zhenren: ...
Inner Demon: ...
One is greedy, the other is poor, and both think that free fights are okay, but if it comes to fighting with money... we still have to think carefully about it!
