Chapter 265 Examination Results
Zhang Songyang's examination results showed that there was nothing wrong with Lin Jiu's symptoms.
Of course, the "no problem" here does not mean that Lin Jiu has really become a normal person, but that his symptoms have not changed at all.
The previous abnormality seemed to be just a brief "illness", but it did not cause any overall impact.
However, this was the first time that Lin Jiu had overeaten. Zhang Songyang had always been sensitive to Lin Jiu's symptoms. Therefore, he realized what was happening to Lin Jiu. After a routine check-up, he asked Ying Shuyun for the early morning surveillance footage.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen, but it was Zhang Songyang who proposed it.
That's what happened.
The surveillance footage clearly shows Lin Jiu coming down from the second floor around 3:00 AM. He looked perfectly normal, with chocolate trailing behind him. After reaching the living room, Lin Jiu briskly walked to the snack cabinet, groping in the dark and grabbing a handful of snacks. He then sat on the sofa and continued watching the unfinished video.
What happened next was that Lin Jiu's eating speed increased significantly, but the video playing on the tablet did not change at all. He just kept eating snacks and staring at the screen intently.
Even in the dark, the surveillance camera could clearly see Lin Jiu's expression.
He looked like he was in a daze.
Ying Shuyun and Qin Chuan were also watching. It was broad daylight, but they felt a cold air constantly hitting their bodies. Zhang Songyang, who was sitting in the middle, had a calm expression on his face. Unlike the people on both sides, he was truly calm.
Because Lin Jiu had experienced something even weirder than this.
It's creepy, like being possessed by something.
In comparison, Lin Jiu's current appearance is too "normal". After all, he is just sitting there staring at the screen, eating and daydreaming, instead of walking back and forth and slowly disappearing from the surveillance field of view, and then suddenly appearing in the surveillance screen at a certain moment.
And now Lin Jiu in the picture is always in the surveillance footage. Of course, under Zhang Songyang's arrangement, there are no blind spots in the villa.
Even when he stood up and walked around, he only went to the kitchen a few times with a purpose, without any movement back and forth. This continued until dawn, when Qin Chuan appeared and spoke, and Lin Jiu's daze symptoms began to disappear.
It was not until Ying Shuyun came downstairs to talk to him that Lin Jiu completely returned to normal.
After watching the surveillance video, Zhang Songyang fell into a brief contemplation.
When he and Lin Jiu completed routine inspections, they would always chat. According to Lin Jiu's description, he "clearly" remembered what he had done in these few hours.
This symptom is similar to some of the symptoms that Lin Jiu often experienced in the past.
He was clearly talking to himself all the time, but when asked, he would insist that he did not do anything. When asked about his memory at that time, he would not say in detail what he did, but he definitely remembered what he was doing and what happened.
In fact, it is not surprising that Lin Jiu is the one who avoids the key issue in this way.
He often does this, but unintentional escape only occurs at times like this.
Lin Jiu himself was completely unaware of the loophole.
He clearly said that he remembered it clearly, but he couldn't give a single detail, not even a single detail. Others might say that not remembering some details is nothing, but who is Lin Jiu?
This guy's brain is completely different from that of ordinary people.
Lin Jiu's brain is a sophisticated machine that he can control by himself. Every second and every frame of life is in his brain, and he can check, delete, or even restore the memories at any time.
Just imagine, how could such a person not be able to describe the memory that he "clearly remembers"?
Zhang Songyang noticed this not long after he came into contact with the patient Lin Jiu, and was convinced that there was a problem with Lin Jiu's brain, this sophisticated machine, which Lin Jiu himself was not aware of.
Not only am I unaware of the gaps in my memory, I'm also unaware of the loopholes, and even that part of my memory has been "automatically" filled in.
Lin Jiu was unaware of all this, and had no intention of investigating it in detail.
He might even suspect that there is something wrong with what others say.
Zhang Songyang had communicated with Lin Jiu about this matter more than once, but after confirming that Lin Jiu could not be aware of the problem, he rarely mentioned it.
Actually, as far as he could remember, around the time the Rule Ghost Story game began, Lin Jiu's symptoms rarely appeared. Although he still muttered to himself, the only behaviors he was clearly "aware of" were those he observed.
Based on this incident alone, Zhang Songyang was not sure whether Lin Jiu's condition had worsened.
The current preliminary examination results show that there has been no change in Lin Jiu's condition, but this is only preliminary.
Although there is medication to control it, Lin Jiu's situation is special. Moreover, current research has shown that absorbing pollution will affect an individual's emotional module.
"More observation is needed," Zhang Songyang said. "Although it's still safe for now, it's best not to actively contact them."
If he were in the Fourth Hospital, Zhang Songyang would forbid Lin Jiu from leaving the ward, restrict his range of activities, and might even ignore him directly depending on the circumstances.
Just like some doctors will actively provoke patients whose specific symptoms are difficult to diagnose, and make key judgments based on their reactions, this is also a means of examination.
In any field, inspection is a process that must be treated rigorously.
In the medical field, this is a matter of life and death for patients.
Whether it is mental illness or psychological illness, the diagnosis of both is strict.
Because some diseases have the same or similar symptoms, it is easy to misdiagnose if not carefully examined.
——This is not an exaggeration. In Longguo a few decades ago, when the technology in this area was not so mature and serious, the probability of misdiagnosis was quite high.
Take Lin Jiu’s schizophrenia as an example.
Schizophrenia is a persistent mental disorder characterized by disorganized thinking and emotional responses, with patients experiencing abnormalities in perception, emotion, and behavior.
The important point is that just because you have traits like these doesn't mean you'll be diagnosed with schizophrenia.
To be diagnosed, in addition to a series of behavioral standards, clinical scoring requirements must be met, not to mention that schizophrenia patients may also have other symptoms besides the above.
This judgment is very strict.
As for Lin Jiu, don’t be fooled by his normal appearance. In fact, some of his behavioral standards are completely inconsistent with those of normal people. You can tell by comparing them.
Just like human cognition cannot be easily changed.
If someone tells you that you are not a human but a dog, will you think, “Oh, so I am a dog!”?
Seriously, no one in their right mind would think this way.
Just like when facing someone who irritates you, a normal person’s reaction would never be “I’m going to kill you” and actually take action.
