Plague Doctor

A black and white picture was displayed on the projection screen. Next to a staircase in a Western-style house, a woman in a long skirt stood there with an expressionless face.

"Captain Gu, you can start to interpret this picture."

It was still the empty and simple review room, and Gu Jun was still sitting on the chair looking at the projection screen.

But it was already past six o'clock in the evening, and the previous Rorschach inkblot test had been over for more than half an hour.

It took more than two hours in total. In addition to the ten regular pictures and the ten regular pictures of the Tianji Bureau, there were also ten more specially designed pictures.

Gu Jun didn't calculate what kind of score he would get, he always cooperated with the test, but after testing thirty pictures, nine out of ten things he saw could involve dark things. There is no doubt that he has a lot of darkness accumulated in his heart, but for someone who does his kind of work, it is difficult to avoid a accumulation of darkness. This does not mean that he has been swallowed up by darkness, but is shrouded in shadow.

After the Rorschach test, he took a ten-minute break, went to the bathroom, and then started the next test when he came back.

The Thematic Apperception Test is a projective personality test developed as early as the 1930s by Harvard University psychologists Henry Murray and Christiane Morgan. It shows subjects a series of ambiguous pictures that evoke negative emotions, and they are asked to tell a story about each picture.

The story should include the following:

What caused the incident

what is happening now

Character’s feelings and thoughts

what is the ending of the story

Like other psychological tests, the reliability and validity of the thematic apperception test are controversial, but it also has a complex scoring system, ranging from the duration and frequency of telling to the length, completeness, complexity, and content of the story. Evaluate and analyze from multiple aspects, and even subdivide each sentence spoken by the subject.

However, it is precisely because this scoring system is so time-consuming to use that it is not widely used.

Therefore, experienced psychiatrists will rely on their own clinical intuition to draw some conclusions.

But in the current test, every sentence of every story Gu Jun told about every picture will be completely recorded and analyzed and evaluated in detail.

The full version of the Thematic Apperception Test contains 32 pictures showing male figures, showing women, both men and women, gender ambiguous, adults, children, and no human figures, with a card is completely blank.

Although the cards were originally designed to cover all groups, later any card could be used with any subject.

The founder, Murray, recommends using 20 cards for a test, but most practitioners only select 8-12 cards.

Gu Jun didn't know how many pictures he had to make, probably all or more. He also knew all the regular 32 picture cards very well, but this test had been done for more than half an hour and he had made 7 pictures. He still had I didn’t see any familiar pictures appearing, these all seemed to be new designs.

But he was a little confused. A mature set of psychological tests only matured from the initial design after a long period of large amounts of clinical data. Each old picture relies on a large number of cases to show the existing mechanism. The uncertainty brought by the new picture cannot be understood at once.

The review of him is such a big battle this time. If you want to test it clearly, it is not suitable to test it directly with some new things.

Originally there was no time limit for the subject to tell the story, because duration was also a scoring consideration, but now he only had 5 minutes to interpret each picture.

A change in the scoring mechanism will cause great changes in the entire system.

Now it's not just a thematic apperception test, there's the Rorschach test, there's something else...

Unless these are not completely new, unless... the Mysterious Bureau is also involved.

Gu Jun naturally had some understanding of the psychology and psychiatry of the mysterious world, but he did not fully understand those involving the secret techniques of the Mysterious Bureau. Even with the Tianxuan General Administration, the technical exchanges between the Tianji Bureau and the Mysterious Bureau are not directly shared, far from it.

Gu Jun felt an inexplicable confusion in his heart. If the organization really brought the Secret Bureau in to interrogate him, then the level of trust in him...

It’s not just about whether you believe in the universal free medical care plan for both worlds, but whether you believe in him as a person...

"Captain Gu?" Zhai Minghui over there asked again, "You still have 4 minutes." Another reviewer on the right picked up a water glass and drank some water.

Going through each test is a mental test for the subjects, but it is also not easy for the judges.

Even though these are the most senior reviewers, they are facing people called Tianji Heroes.

"Hmm..." Gu Jun responded, looking at the expressionless woman in the picture. The time limit may be to lower his disguise, but he had no intention of pretending at all. He started talking: "This woman is waiting for her. When my husband came home, it was raining heavily outside, the sky was very dark, and there was loud thunder..."

As he said this, the picture seemed to come alive in his eyes, and the rumbling thunder seemed to be in his ears.

"It was past seven o'clock in the evening, and it was raining harder and harder, but her husband hadn't come back yet. Her husband usually came home on time at six o'clock... There were no mobile phones or telephones in that era, so she couldn't Contacting her husband immediately, she became a little concerned.

The woman began to pray to the god she believed in sincerely, praying that nothing would happen to her husband.

They had just been married for less than a year, loved each other and lived a happy life.

Sweet, they were planning to have a baby and a lot of plans were already made.

Not long after the woman finished praying, the doorbell suddenly rang. She couldn't wait to run over and open the door. Was it her husband? she thinks.

She opened the door..."

At this point, Gu Jun paused and took a deep breath.

There are two story directions that are tug-of-war in my heart, one is the original idea from the bottom of my heart, and the other is the well-intentioned modification of consciousness.

In the end, he chose the more intense kind of surge, loyal to this test, and said: "There was nothing on the porch. The woman only saw the violent storm outside. She didn't know whether she heard wrong just now, or whether the doorbell was blown by the strong wind. The blown debris made a loud noise.

The storm lasted until the next morning, and her husband still didn't come home until dawn.

The woman saw her husband again that afternoon in the autopsy room of the local police station.

Her husband is dead. On the way home last night, her husband was hit by a big tree that was overturned by the storm. He died on the spot, his body and blood were bloody. "
