he can't see our ears

Another few days passed, and now the eldest brother is very calm, and the results of his brain examination are all normal.

He couldn't see people's ears, he couldn't see people's eyes, he couldn't move his own eyes, he could see with eyes open or closed, and he didn't get tired or cry even if he didn't blink all the time.

People from different agencies come to visit my elder brother every day. Every time they need to talk to my elder brother alone, someone will take me to the corridor to chat.

One day, when the policewoman came, she mentioned something to me: "In his current situation, it is better to find his father. Can you ask your relatives?"

I asked her, "If someone is looking for someone, can the police find them directly?"

She said: "We were able to find a contact method, but the phone couldn't be reached, and the registered address has also changed."

I wondered: "You should have a special method, right? I watched a documentary, and you found the murderer who had been hiding for more than ten years."

She was amused by my words: "His father is an adult citizen, and he hasn't committed any crimes. We can't look for him like a suspect. It would be best if your family members can find him by themselves. If you can't find him, you won't be able to find him." There's no way, you're a relative anyway, so I'll tell you if there's anything to do. I just think, look at your brother's situation...his father should see him. "

After the accident, they didn't contact the eldest brother's father, but only called me, because my contact information was stored in the elder brother's mobile phone, which was easy to find.The mobile phone was in good condition on the boat and was not wet.

From childhood to adulthood, for so many years, the eldest brother has never contacted his father, so no one else can get a valid phone number.

Maybe you can ask the eldest brother's aunt, but that aunt has gone abroad a long time ago, and she can't be contacted in a short time.And I don't really want to find her, I don't know her well at all.

In fact, I don't really want to find my eldest brother's father.He doesn't love eldest brother, so what's the use of telling him?

=============================

My eldest brother will be hospitalized for a long time, and I may live in city A for a long time, so I signed a room for short-term rent in a small guest house, which is not too expensive and the conditions are very simple, mainly because it is close to the hospital.

It didn't take long for my friends to know about it. They cheered me up on WeChat one after another, and even offered to come and see us, but I declined all of them.

It's no secret that the eldest brother was injured, but the symptoms of his blind ears and eyes... It should be a secret to me, and it is also a secret to those staff members.

They told me not to go outside and I agreed, and I don't want it to be spread.

As the days passed, the discussion on the missing persons on the Internet has decreased a lot, and the search and rescue at sea has also stopped.

It's been too long, and those nine people should have no hope of surviving.

However, the matter has not faded out of everyone's sight. Some people on the Internet have been obsessed with this kind of strange cases all year round, and they are still discussing it every day.

In the past few days, I have intensively explored such topics, found the forums where they gather, and followed a bunch of bloggers who often post personal analysis.Once any post or Weibo gets hotter, I will definitely see it.

Among them is a supernatural blogger who always likes to talk about conspiracy theories. He talked about a lot of special sci-fi conjectures, such as time tunnels and the like.Most of his theories are pure fantasies and are not worth reading, but a new one he posted recently got me thinking.

He basically said, what is the difference between the sole survivor and everyone else?

This "difference" does not refer to the difference in identity, let alone to condemn something, but refers to whether there are differences in their physical fitness and means of survival?

All had lifejackets, were about the same age, and were in good health according to surveys, with no illnesses or old injuries.Except for the two crew members, the others don't know much about the sea, and they should have a similar amount of knowledge.

Whether it was drifting and cooling after falling into the water, or being attacked by animals, in short, these people encountered the same disaster.So the survivor among the crowd—that is, my elder brother, what is the difference between him and the other victims?

Did he do something special that gave him a chance at surviving?

Does he have a special constitution?Is it possible that he had a specific disease that made him unsuitable for food and instead caused the unidentified beast to abandon him?

Under the post, some people spread all kinds of conjectures with the blogger, and many people scolded the blogger, saying that now that the bones of the victims are not cold, he is just guessing here.

I didn't quite trust his guesses, but I wasn't angry either.

Things are so weird with my brother right now, I can't get mad at anything.

And I couldn't help thinking, what if the blogger guessed right?Could it be that Big Brother really has something special?

Is the elder brother's hallucination symptoms the sequelae of the injury, or is he already suffering from some kind of illness?

================================

Soon after, new symptoms appeared.

I was sleeping in the guest house that day, and the doctor called me and said that my elder brother had something new.

He can't see the human head.

These words terrified me.What do you mean you can't see your head?

I rushed to the hospital.The elder brother doesn’t need physical monitoring now. Most of the threads and discs attached to his body have been removed, and the side of the bed is very neat. He is leaning on the rocked bed, awake, but with his eyes closed.

It was the nurse who closed his eyes.Ever since he said he couldn't see his eyes, he never blinked again. The doctors and nurses were afraid that there might be something wrong with him, so they closed his eyelids for him.

He closed his eyes, but he could still see me.As soon as I entered the ward, he called me.

He said that as soon as he woke up today, he found that he could not see the human head.

All the doctors and nurses, including me, he couldn't see the heads of all of us.

When it comes to the head, it actually includes the neck.He described his field of vision. All he saw were flat shoulders, with a collar between the two shoulders and a collarbone under the collar. The middle was smooth without any bulge.

I asked him, "How can you recognize mine if you can't see the head?"

He even smiled and said to me: "Although you have no head, your body shape, walking posture, and voice have not changed. Can I not recognize you?"

To be honest, I was terrified and surprised.

Why can he be so calm in the face of unimaginable illness?Maybe the eldest brother is deliberately trying to calm down, he doesn't want me to be too scared.

Not only was I scared, but the faces of the doctors and nurses were also very bad.It's not the kind of worried expression that fears that the patient won't be cured, but nervous and fearful.I can see it.

The doctor did several tests on the eldest brother, trying to see if he really couldn't see his head, or if he was faking it.

The test is not only to observe his superficial reaction, but also to let him wear the small patch on his head and observe his brain reaction through some instruments.

After the test results came out, the doctor believed that the eldest brother did not lie, he was not pretending, and he really could not see the "head".

Big brother's "invisible" symptoms are as follows:

When a person stands in front of him, he cannot see the corresponding parts.

Show him the photos that have been taken before, and he can see the corresponding parts, heads, and facial features of the people in the photos, all of which are normal.

If you take a photo of someone in front of him, and he looks at it on the screen of the electronic device, then he will not see that part.

Print out the photos taken in front of him and show him, but he can't see that part either.

In his eyes, works of art are normal. Whether it is a realistic painting or a stick figure, as long as it is drawn, it is normal.

Like a photo, a video will not be affected if it has been recorded; if it is recorded in front of him, he will not be able to see the corresponding part.

Whether it was when he couldn't see his ears at the beginning, or now that he claims he can't see his head, it basically follows the above rules.

Doctors also tried small animals.The result is the same as for people.

I later learned that the doctor didn't let him try to observe a live animal at first, but first showed him a dead fish.He could not see the head of the dead fish.

The doctor tried live insects, and live guinea pigs, with the same result.

What if he was asked to go to the morgue to observe human corpses?It is estimated that the result is similar.

But the doctor didn't try that.It may be because of some moral considerations that it is really inappropriate to do so.

I can't help but think, what if the animal has no head?Such as starfish, sea cucumber?

The question is, where can we find live sea cucumbers and starfish... I can't even look at the pictures, he looks at the pictures normally.

I told the doctor about my doubts, and the doctor said that my idea is very good, and it may be helpful to further understand the patient's hallucinations.They plan to ask their superiors for instructions to see if they can arrange to do some tests again.

Up to this point, I was still not particularly panicked. Although I was afraid, I was not yet desperate.

I'm afraid because my eldest brother's symptoms are too strange. I'm afraid that he has a mental illness that is difficult to treat, and I'm even more afraid that his brain will suffer irreversible damage, and his life will be over.He is still so young.

I wasn't really panicking, because my elder brother could eat and sleep, spoke to me with a normal attitude, and cooperated with the treatment very well, acting calmer than me.

As long as my eldest brother has confidence in himself, I think this disease will be cured sooner or later.

===============================

Three days later, in the morning, there was another call from the hospital.

They said that the eldest brother could not see the skin.

He cannot see the skin of living things.Human skin, animal hair and skin, and even the outer skin of plants are invisible.

From this day on, the eldest brother rarely looked up at people.

In his description, our clothes and everything are still there, but the exposed parts of the body are all without skin.

He also said that we didn't bleed, and our bodies didn't look tattered after being injured, but that we didn't have a skin at all.Everything under the skin is functioning normally, just like we are not born with an epidermis.

Nor did he want to look at himself.But he couldn't close his eyes.Since he couldn't feel his eyes, of course he couldn't close them.

When he was really uncomfortable, he could only look at the bedding and the like, staring at the place where there were no living things.

We asked him, how do you sleep if you can't close your eyes?He said that you don't need to close your eyes to sleep, just sleep normally, your thinking will gradually loosen, and your consciousness will disappear.

The doctor did a lot of examinations and tests to test whether the status of "not seeing the skin" is true or not.

The result was the same as last time, he really couldn't see, not a hallucination.

They not only tested the brain's response, but also conducted a more intuitive test: the doctor asked the eldest brother to observe a person's exposed limbs, asked him to describe some details of the tissue under the skin, and then compared the results of medical tests.

It turned out that the elder brother was right about everything.What he saw was not a fabricated illusion, but the real physiological structure.
