Self-cultivation of the Exorcist

　　 The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear.

　　 And the oldest and strongest fear is the unknown.

　　 As long as you accept your sins and cross the black abyss, waiting for you will be eternal magic and glory.

　　 Friday, May 15, 18:08 PM.

　　 The sharpened pencil is held by a slender hand and rests on the paper form.

　　 Du Wei raised his head and looked at the pale and haggard white woman sitting opposite.

　　 "Ms. Aisha, now you can continue talking."

　　 "Okay... OK, Doctor Du Wei."

Aisha closed her eyes and fell into the memory: "You know, my job is programming, even after get off work, I still need to deal with some work matters, so I recently commissioned an intermediary, hoping to find a relatively comparatively A remote and quiet house."

　　 "Half a month ago, the agent told me that there is a suitable house to live in, and the price is relatively low. It has no shortcomings except that it is a bit shabby because it has been unoccupied for too long."

　　 "I have a lot of expenses, so I quickly signed the contract."

　　 "But after moving in for a week, I found something wrong with this house."

　　 "Every twelve o'clock in the night, the lights will dim strangely, and the people's faces can hardly be seen in the house."

　　 "The faucet in the bathroom often turns on inexplicably."

　　 "The TV will suddenly jump, and I can't even watch my favorite survival series."

　　 "And yesterday, these problems got worse."

　　...

　　 "Doctor Du Wei? Are you listening?"

　　 "Huh? Hmm! Yes, I'm listening."

　　 Du Wei wrote on the form [Suspected hearing hallucinations, signs of split personality, etc.] while nodding to beckon the other party to continue.

　　 Aisha was a little nervous, and she paused for a while before she spoke again: "I think there may be something...something in my room."

　　 When she said something, her tone was very tangled, she seemed to be afraid, and she seemed to be resisting something.

　　 "Doctor Du Wei, do you believe there are ghosts in this world? Uh...or evil spirits?"

　　 Du Wei stopped writing, looked at Aisha calmly, and asked, "Ms. Aisha, do you know why there is light in this world?"

　　 "Um...why?"

　　 "Because the sun is mainly composed of hydrogen, hydrogen accounts for more than 70% of its mass. Under the high temperature and high pressure inside the sun, hydrogen atoms will undergo a "thermonuclear reaction" to radiate a lot of light and heat."

　　 Aisha:? ? ?

　　...

　　 "I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world, because this is unscientific."

　　 "This is too bad, Dr. Du Wei, you don't know what happened to me, you can't deny my thoughts."

　　 "Ok, then let's put it another way, the light will be dimmed probably because the recent weather is very hot and the voltage caused by the nearby residents turning on the air conditioner is unstable.

　　 "The faucet in the bathroom was turned on inexplicably. You may have forgotten to turn it off. After all, you are a programmer and work overtime until two or three o'clock so that you are in a trance. This is normal."

　　 "As for the problem of TV jumping, you can call the after-sales service to solve it, or use our Oriental method to slap the TV hard and try. If this is useless, then I suggest you change it directly."

　　 Du Wei put down the pencil, spread his hands, and shrugged to Aisha.

The other party obviously couldn’t accept this result, and said angrily: “Doctor Du Wei, this is not the answer I want. I know that many people can’t believe my experience, so I only told you that you want to give I have a normal explanation!"

　　 Du Wei glanced at her and said faintly: "If you persist, then this answer may be more acceptable to you."

　　 said, he tore off the paper and handed it over.

　　 In the table on the paper, the following is written:

　　Name: Aisha Kliman

　　 Age: 26 years old

Gender: Female

　　Occupation: Programmer

　　Sickness: auditory hallucinations and uncontrollable hallucinations caused by split personality

　　Responsive drugs: Risperidone, Olanzapine, Quetiapine

　　 Suggestion: Increase the dose

　　...

　　 Obviously, Aisha could not accept this result either.

She held the paper with a haggard face and whispered, "I shouldn't have called you. You are just a psychiatrist. You have no personal experience. You don't understand what I have experienced. There are absolutely special things in that house. , Maybe I should go to church."

　　 Du Wei nodded in agreement: "I think so too, but please pay for the consultation fee."

　　 Aisha is gone.

　　 After Du Wei sent her away, the sky was already dimmed. According to previous experience, there would be no more guests coming, so he closed the door of the counseling clinic and returned to the room upstairs.

　　 The house he rented is the most suitable one nearby, the space is reasonable, and the flow of people is not small.

　　 The first floor was transformed into a clinic, and the second floor was a resting place.

　　 pulled out a thick medical record from the bookcase, Du Wei filled in the information and symptoms of Aisha on the latest page.

　　 I don't know if it is an illusion. Since opening this psychological consultation clinic, people who come to consult or see a doctor have some strange things.

　　 Everyone feels that they have encountered something unclean, or ghosts, evil spirits, or ghosts.

　　 For Westerners, should this be the same thing?

　　 After filling in Ella’s symptoms and about to close the medical record, he seemed to have thought of something, so he turned the paper to the first page.
