Stendhal Syndrome [Entertainment]

Because Mr. Xu Zihe was worried about Director Mo Ci's psychological problems, he jumped in line and arranged for Mo Ci to meet a national first-level psychological counselor.

"Hello, Mr. Mo Ci, I'm Xu Linduan, and I really like your filming "See Words Like Faces" and "Break Your Promise." Xu Linduan adjusted his glasses, then shook hands with Mo Ci, with a gentle smile on his face .

"They are worthy of your liking. Dr. Xu, I'm here to ask you something." Mo Ci shook hands with him, then sat down, "I'm a little confused, and I hope to get a reasonable answer from you. "

Xu Linduan nodded, "Of course, I will do my best."

"You might think I'm hallucinating, but I'm pretty sure that I don't have any similar psychological problems." After talking about what he had experienced, Mo Ci ended with these words.

"To be honest, everyone who comes here says so." Xu Linduan laughed and added, "But Mr. Mo, yours sounds the most authentic."

"However, to be honest, I'm not satisfied with your answer. I didn't come here to hear the answer that I'm sick." Mo Ci didn't smile again. He was sharp and bright. charming.

"I know," Xu Linduan stood up, pushed away a piece of stained glass that European churches like to use, and behind it was a whole bookcase, and he pulled out a book from it, "a man named Eben Alexander suffered from meningitis In that week, he claimed to have gone to heaven, met a luminous spherical life, lived with a strange woman, and thought he had found the place where God lived. It is worth mentioning that , this Mr. Alexander is a well-known neurosurgeon and graduated from Harvard Medical School with a doctorate in ophthalmology. Of course, as it should be, he is a Christian."

"Do you think he is a lunatic or a sensationalist?" Mo Ci asked, frowning even tighter.

"No, I never maliciously infer people who have nothing to do with me. I'm not aggressive in this regard." Xu Linduan said, put the book in front of Mo Ci, and tapped it with his fingers, "Mr. This experience was written into this book and published, titled "Evidence of Heaven - A Neurosurgeon's Journey to Paradise."

Mo Ci opened the book casually, and saw a sentence, "I am still a doctor, and I am still a scientist as before. But deep down, my cognition is completely different from before. people. Because I have seen what heaven looks like."

In the past, Mo Ci would have thought that this was whimsical, but now it is difficult for him to directly make such a conclusion.

"Our understanding of both psychology and physiology is still too shallow, so I don't think it's fake to see heaven when I'm dying, but I can reasonably suspect that that heaven may be fake, it's the brain And neurotic deceit, as if you thought 'now' was a figment."

"I never said that." Mo Ci said, and put the book aside.

"But you really think so, Mr. Mo Ci, you need to give me a little trust, don't you? Otherwise, we won't be able to proceed further, and it would be a waste of time to guess." Xu Linduan sat down again, folded his hands and leaned forward, There is a strange light in the eyes.Mo Ci could understand that look, when he discovered something novel and interesting or created some inspiration, the expression on his face was exactly the same as his.

"It's really not reconciled to admit that this dream that I think is a fiction to you now," Xu Linduan sighed, and changed the topic, "But we can try to follow this logic first."

"Of course." Mo Ci nodded.

"Did you lose consciousness in a car accident?"

"Yes." Mo Ci answered quickly.

"In 'there' you never feel like you're in a fictional world? Like something illogical happens."

"If there was, I wouldn't tell you like I did just now."

"That's right." Xu Linduan agreed with the answer and nodded, "Also, have you seen me in 'there'?"

"I know you. A senior recommended me to come to you for consultation to see if I am incapable of intimacy, and showed me your profile, which has your photo on it." Mo Ci said, and not long before , in Venice.

"It looks like you didn't come."

Mo Ci adjusted his sitting posture, "Yes, I don't think I'm incapable of intimacy, and I already have a lover 'over there'." Mo Ci thought of Yu Chu, his eyes softened more than a little.

"Well," Xu Linduan felt more and more interesting, "Then you chose me in 'here' specially?"

"No, I just said that I want to find a psychiatrist. My agent Xu Zihe made the specific arrangement."

Xu Linduan smiled, "It does sound like a coincidence. After all, I am the only national first-level psychological counselor working in Pingjing. Your agent is worried about you so he chose me. It is completely logical and self-consistent, but you I don’t seem to think so.”

"Yes," Mo Ci still frowned, "I suspect, because I only saw you as a psychiatrist in 'over there', so Xu Zihe in 'here', 'here' can only find you."

"And you did ask him that, didn't you?"

"You are really smart." Mo Ci looked at him.

"I'm very happy to get your compliments. Besides, to make a digression, I really want to know if I have such a personality in 'there'. After all, you only know my appearance."

Xu Linduan's smile was very gentle, but Mo Ci had already confirmed that the other party was not like what he showed.But it didn't matter, he felt more comfortable this way.

"If I go back to 'there', I will meet you in 'there' and help you fulfill your curiosity." Mo Ci said, and then resumed the topic, "But I did ask Xu Zihe, he He gave the same answer as you, and other psychiatrists are too tight in their schedules, and there is no such spare time as you."

"But it's because I like to be more leisurely, doesn't it make sense?" Xu Linduan smiled, and also brought back the topic, "But the doctor's book I just made you think that there may be something wrong with your suspicion. Because I mentioned There was a strange woman in there."

"Yes, if there is a strangeness, then there is something wrong with the first link of my logic chain." After all, his first link is here, but it is just created by himself.

"Strangeness is relative, and you may just think you are unfamiliar. After all, there are words in my memory called 'deja vu' and 'like old friends at first sight'."

This time Mo Ci was silent for a while before speaking, "Maybe."

"So you still want to prove that 'here' is just an illusion or a dream produced by the brain mechanism?" Xu Linduan asked.

"Of course, I need to get back there."

"With all due respect, I have seen your interviews in 'here'. In my opinion, you are a person who regards instant gratification as the criterion. If so, it doesn't matter whether the world is true or false. The existence of the three-dimensional world has nothing to do with it. No is just self-awareness, isn’t it enough to enjoy life? You don’t need to go back.”

"I just said that I have a lover 'out there' waiting for me to wake up, and I'm not going to be self righteous anymore."

"Here you will also meet lovers, according to your own determination, this world is just a step-by-step process of 'there', you will still fall in love, and because you are a prophet, sorry, that is the best adjective I have found , though I know you are not religious."

"I don't care about this, you can do whatever you want."

"Okay, I'll continue, and because you are a prophet, you can even avoid that near-death car accident. Isn't it a more perfect life?" Xu Zihe pushed down his glasses, "but 'there' is different, after all There is an almost non-existent tiny distance between death and death."

Mo Ci raised his eyebrows, "I thought that the psychiatrist should help me solve the problem instead of causing more problems."

"Maybe I'm not the same as them, I want to find an optimal solution for you."

"The premise is that the optimal solution exists."

"It will exist. The one you choose in the end is the optimal solution, isn't it?"

Mo Ci used the word again, "Maybe."

"Okay," Xu Linduan clasped his hands together, "Next, we need to assume another possibility, 'here' is true, and Mr. Mo, you are indeed suffering from a mental illness."

Mo Ci leaned back on the back of the chair, crossed his arms, "I would like to hear more about it."

At the end, Mo Ci shook hands with Xu Linduan, then stood up and walked out the door, but was suddenly stopped, "Director Mo Ci."

This is the first time Xu Linduan has called Mo Ci the director.

"What's wrong?" Mo Ci turned around and asked him.

"I just suddenly remembered one thing. Regarding the ending of "Breaking Promise", I want to know what is the ending of it."

"Break Promise" is a movie directed by Mo Ci, with the background of the Republic of China, creating a beautiful infinite loop.The male protagonist, Shi Yan, died suddenly and was reborn three hours before his death. He tried to find ways to avoid the end of death again and again, but he never succeeded. He just experienced death and return again and again.In the end he finally remembered that he was the one who made it for himself. Three hours ago, he had no interest in life, so he chose this way to die.

"The ending," Mo Ci leaned against the wall, "It's best to have your own thoughts when watching a movie. I guess you gave it the ending yourself."

"I haven't, and I'd rather hear the official version from the director."

Mo Ci laughed, bright and flamboyant, "The ending is that Shi Yan wakes up and finds that this is just his dream. He is no longer lifeless and can finally continue to live. This is the ending I give him now."

"Really?" Xu Linduan also laughed, he took off his glasses and took a piece of paper to wipe, "If that's the case, then bless the teacher."

"Of course," Mo Ci repeated his words, his voice was very soft, "bless the teacher's words."
