[British and American Drama] Mental Correction

Chapter 52

When Claire woke up from suffocation again, she lay alone on the bed for a long time.

The morning sunlight filled the entire room, so much so that she even saw countless swirling dust in the air.There is a little noise outside the room.People's conversations, TV sounds, one after another.

Claire closed her eyes.She is feeling the moment.

This was the most peaceful sobriety she had experienced in recent years, even during Hannibal's treatment.This feeling is amazing.At this moment, Claire forgot what she had experienced, the suffering that she thought would follow her everywhere.She forgot the ugliness and arrogance of human nature that she had witnessed countless times.She forgot what she thought she would never forget.

Then?Then Claire recalled all kinds of things on the Titanic.

Captain Edward, who would be ashamed of his wrong choice, waited quietly in the command room, waiting to be destroyed together with Titanic.

The old gentleman who refuses to wear a life jacket insists on maintaining his dignity in the face of death.

The old lady refused to board the lifeboat, she chose to leave the chance of life to the young people who had more possibilities in her eyes.

The young lady who is unwilling to be rescued alone will choose to stay bravely and meet the fate of the shipwreck with her lover.

Husbands who said clumsy lies like "I will come back safely" sent off their lovers and children with smiles and tears.

……

…………

Claire never knew that in the face of death, those ordinary people would bring him the greatest shock.Their calmness and bravery are the brilliance of humanity that Clare once imagined and expected.

She called the system in a low voice in her heart, thinking that there would be no response, but when the cold electronic sound appeared, Claire felt that the electronic sound was not so annoying for the first time.

"Thank you." She heard herself whispering.

After finishing speaking, Claire suddenly thought of her conjecture: "Evil can be changed, right?" She asked, revealing some of her conjectures.

"In the world of Titanic, I was told by you that Carl was [evil] in the world. But as time went on, I found that Carl never showed too bad a side."

She pondered and organized her words: "I thought that something must have happened and changed him."

"As far as Carl's character is concerned, he is a good-faced, childish control freak. After others offend him, Carl's heart is not big enough to tolerate others. What offended him the most was his fiancée Ruth and Jack."

"Even if Carl's feelings for Ruth are more out of possessiveness, once [he is inferior to a third-class punk], it will undoubtedly make him angry and try to prove that he is better than him, better than him." He is strong everywhere."

"But in the world I've experienced," Claire smiled wryly: "In the world I've experienced, Karl seems to be in love with me."

"Does this mean that my presence affects some of his behavior and makes him change?"

In Claire's repeated verification, she got a positive answer from the system, which proved her guess was correct, so:

"That is to say, the so-called [evil] can be changed. If [evil deeds] can be prevented from happening, then [evil] is no longer purely [evil]."

Claire thought of Hill, who was defined as [evil].Maybe it meant she had a chance to stop him...?

But strangely, the tension and fear before actually seeing Hill was weakened a lot during this trip to the Titanic... Perhaps because of witnessing other people's love, Claire has inexplicably more confidence in Hill .

She packed her bags, and when she sat up, the bulky blue stone rolled onto her quilt.Claire picked up the expensive and beautiful Heart of the Ocean almost in shock, wondering why it would appear in her home!

But no one explained it to her.

Claire then hears the day's news while buying breakfast at a fast food restaurant:

[Treasure hunter Brock Lovett, famous for his discovery of the Great Spanish Gold Coin, has been granted permission to explore the most famous shipwreck, the Titanic, while he is on board the Keldersh survey ship, let us pass Satellite link to the North Atlantic scene—]

Claire stopped where she was.She turned to the clerk who handed her a drink: "Is Titanic famous?"

"Of course." The middle-aged woman was all sure: "Everyone knows about the Titanic, and you can see its news almost every day in recent years. I remember that she has dived five times now? Or six times? That's true. What an amazing ship..."

"Haven't you heard of it?" A young girl asked incredulously.

Claire shook her head helplessly, and then took her own breakfast from the clerk... She found that the system has become more and more handy in shuffling and reorganizing memories.

When I arrived at school, there were still 15 minutes before the exam time.Steven did not wait in his examination room, but guarded at the door of her classroom.When he saw Claire, the young man smiled happily and greeted him with big strides——

"Did you buy breakfast?" Steven looked extremely disappointed.Claire nodded, patted him and signaled him to go to his classroom as soon as possible.

Steven nodded helplessly: "Do you have any plans after the exam?"

"Today? I'm going to see my therapist. I have some questions I want to talk to him about."

"What about tomorrow? Maybe you'd like to be with me"

Steven's words were quickly interrupted by Claire, she shook her head: "Sorry, Steven, I have told you many times, I have a lover."

"But what kind of lover hasn't seen each other for a year?" Steven obviously couldn't believe this: "And if such a person is your lover, why do you go to see a psychiatrist, you try to integrate into the social environment, and even you When you have self-doubt due to emotional problems, he has never been by your side?"

"If your lover is such a person, then I can be sure that I will treat you ten thousand times better than him!"

Claire's expression became indifferent.

"If you think so, then we should stop dating." She lowered her eyes, concealing the guilt in her eyes, but her tone became more indifferent: "I can't respond to you. I thank you for your support this year. Everything you have done for me, you have played an extremely important role in rebuilding my self-confidence, but I am sorry..."

Claire finds it so difficult to reject others: "Gratefulness cannot be love."

She didn't look up. After a long time, Steven finally moved. His shoes disappeared in front of Claire's eyes, step by step out of Claire's sight, as if it was some kind of mysterious omen.

Perhaps because of this, Claire's first exam did not go very well.Fortunately, she adjusted her state later.Although it is impossible to achieve all A grades, it is guaranteed not to retake.

After finishing everything, Claire made an appointment for Hannibal's studio.

She trotted across from the school, three blocks away, and she was sweating profusely, her shirt was almost soaked in sweat.And she was half an hour earlier than the appointment time.

Twenty minutes later, a blond boy came out of the room, his face wearing a black mask looked inexplicably familiar.Claire looked at him, then suddenly remembered that this was the young man who had bumped her into it a few days ago.

As he walked past him, the boy stopped suddenly.His voice sounded low and sweet: "Is your leg better?"

Claire followed his gaze to her knees in shorts.The wound that has initially scarred looks a little hideous, which also makes the wound look extraordinarily exaggerated.But Claire knew it didn't hurt much, and it didn't even affect her running or even kicking.

"Fine. Thanks!" she responded.Claire was neither wearing a hat nor a mask that day.She and the boy looked at each other, as if a long time had passed, and it seemed that it was only a moment.

The other party suddenly said: "You are changing very fast, faster and faster."

"kindness?"

"Good luck, goodbye." The other party did not answer Claire's doubts, but just gave her a deep look.Then turn around and leave.Claire was left with a faint confusion.And she walked towards Hannibal with this confusion.

"Is he also your patient?"

Hannibal smiled: "You seem to know each other? How does it feel to meet here by chance?"

"It's not acquaintance." Claire shook her head: "We just met. I seem to have seen him somewhere."

She frowned, thinking, and then Hannibal interrupted Claire: "Come on in, it's not important. I want to hear about you, like what happened to you."

Hannibal nodded his cheek: "I noticed you didn't wear a mask."

Claire's eyes lit up: "Yes, a wonderful thing happened..." She obviously didn't know how to describe her experience to Hannibal.But she still wants to say something, she desperately needs someone to share her inner shock and touch.

She said: "I had a very real dream..."

This is a completely ridiculous conversation.One of the parties, Claire, turned the subject of the conversation into an interpretation of a dream.However, it is impossible for a dream to have such a huge impact on a person, so Hannibal saw through her unmentioned but obvious features at a glance: she thought this dream was not a very real dream, but it really happened!

What's happening here?

Hannibal covered his lips in thought.Is this delusional?Or a precursor to delusional schizophrenia?No, no, it's not that serious. Claire doesn't meet the characteristics of such a disease.

Delusional schizophrenia is a type of schizophrenia characterized by delusions and hallucinations.Compared with other types of schizophrenia, patients with delusional schizophrenia are more suspicious and resistant to treatment.Of course, in terms of the actual clinical manifestations of patients with delusional schizophrenia, their clinical responses are also more diverse and complex.

If Claire develops symptoms of schizophrenia during treatment, it is likely to affect Hannibal's reputation as a well-known psychiatrist.Of course, Hannibal didn't necessarily care about that, but nobody likes trouble.

He seemed to be a little distressed to observe Claire who was caught in the conversation.Her once-dull gray eyes were brilliant, full of life, and he found her resistance to socializing had weakened a lot over time.She looks more confident too!

At least during the conversation without a mask, Claire didn't show any more discomfort at Hannibal's gaze.

It's amazing...

If the influence of a dream can really be so great, then each of his patients can be cured just by dreaming... isn't it?

Claire never talked about the name of the ship from the beginning to the end. She deliberately weakened the names of everyone she came into contact with, and even directly replaced them with ABC.But this does not hinder Hannibal's analysis.Even in the process of taking time to observe Claire, he began to ask questions [assuming this is a real ship].

Of course, the questions asked are all unnoticed.For example, what are the interesting decorations on the ship, what is the style of the murals, what is the style of the nobles’ clothes, what brand of cigarettes do they use, and even the pattern on the dinner plate has any characteristics...

His questions were sporadic and trivial, and seemed to be just the pure curiosity of a collector who was curious about some novelty. None of these questions aroused Claire's vigilance.She told the other party everything she knew and saw.

And Hannibal also sorted out some useful information in the process.

For example, the economic downturn, the decline of the nobles, and the rise of some new industries at that time, which led to the emergence of a large number of upstarts without roots among the rich.For example, the classes in the cabin are clearly divided, and the civilians have many yearnings for the "American Dream", which shows that the United States had more opportunities and possibilities than other countries at that time.For example……

He judged the time of this dream to be around the early 20th century.And when Claire described the shipwreck, she felt extremely sorry for not being able to accommodate her friend to get on the lifeboat, Hannibal finally thought of why he felt that the dream Claire said was really real—isn’t this the Titanic? number?

Maybe Claire had seen too much news about Titanic recently, which caused her to have such a long and complicated dream?Maybe it's because she is too curious about this huge ship known as the miracle of the world, so she thinks and dreams at night?

When Claire finally stopped describing, Hannibal asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "You said that when you prevented everyone from boarding the ship, you realized that order must exist...can you tell me about your story?" Opinion?"

Claire blinked her eyes. She was surprised by Hannibal's question. She didn't express emotion to those little people who had great achievements in the dream, but paid special attention to her psychological changes... This is probably the difference between a psychiatrist and ordinary people place.

Claire nodded: "Yes, I realized the importance of order at that time. It was even more important than my own life, more than the lives of my friends, it was high above everyone, it was the only fair and Chance."

Hannibal sat up straight, and he listened attentively to this speech that was so incredible to him, it was so fresh!

"The situation was very critical. Too many people wanted to survive. But there is no doubt that the chances of survival are limited. I can't decide who should survive, but [order] can, [rules] can."

"Wouldn't it be extraordinarily unfair if this [rule] was made by an individual?"

"Of course it's unfair, but it's not made by [individuals]." Claire's eyes were burning, and her tone was firm: "In fact, choosing to give priority to women and children on board is made by our past and future."

"Past and future?" Hannibal questioned this statement.

"That's right." Claire nodded: "The past refers to the education we have received. It tells us that we should protect the weak and vulnerable groups. It tells us that we should be upright. It tells us that as a gentleman, we should maintain our own dignity." Decent."

"The future, on the other hand, refers to possibility. Women not only represent fragility, but also hope and possibility. They have the ability to conceive life, which is the greatest authority given to them by God, and even to some extent Basically, what they control is the future of the world. No one knows if another Einstein will become their child."

"This priority is established by our past and future, and it is precisely because of this formulation that a [rule] or [order] was formed at that time."

Hannibal didn't use his eloquence to sophistry, he accepted Claire's argument, and ran out another question: "So when you shoot people who want to board the ship, what do you have? How do you feel?"

"I feel bad." Claire frowned: "Actually, I still feel bad even now."

"So what do you think you would do if you did it all over again?"

Claire said: "Maybe I will be extremely tough at the beginning, so that I can prevent them from getting lucky." She thought for a while: "But I think if they still don't give up breaking the order, I will still start to break the order." gun."

"Because order must exist?" Hannibal asked rhetorically.

"Yes, it must exist."

The conversation between the two stopped temporarily.They each fell into their own thoughts, and after a long time, Hannibal decided it was time to end the topic.

He made a cup of coffee for Claire, the rich aroma of cocoa beans made people feel relaxed.He handed it to Claire, and moved into a more comfortable and relaxed position as he sat down.

"As far as I know, you haven't learned German, but remember? You actually joked with me in German with a Lithuanian accent in the previous conversation..." Hannibal frowned: "Thinking about it now still makes me laugh." I'm absolutely amazed!"

"Is this what you learned in your dreams too?"

Claire's movements were extremely stiff, for a long time, or only a few seconds passed?Claire thought uncertainly.

She lowered her head, her voice was dull: "yes, that's not a good dream."

Hannibal's smile deepened, but the raised eyebrows made it even harder to see the emotions inside.

And that's the real end of the conversation—the time has come.

Claire stood up and shook his hand goodbye.When she left, she couldn't help but look back at Hannibal behind her.He lowered his head and turned on the computer, as if he was busy with something.

After leaving, Claire would naturally not know that Hannibal had searched for the Titanic keyword in the browser.Thought an elderly woman named Ruth was being interviewed.She just said: "In that disaster, both Jack and I survived. We have experienced many tests of fate for each other, but fortunately, we persevered in the end."

"Three weeks ago, Jack was hospitalized with a cerebral hemorrhage, and he still hasn't woken up. I realized that it was time for us to say goodbye, but it didn't matter."

A gentle smile appeared on Ruth's aged face: "Even death can't separate us."

Lovett, who was in charge of the interview, asked: "Are there any people who survived the Titanic who are still alive?" He realized that his question was not up to standard, and bowed his head apologetically: "No, please forgive me. change the question"

"Is there anyone else on the ship who still impresses you today?"

Ruth fell into deep thought, and then tremblingly found an extremely old leather book full of age from her notebook.Those withered hands that had been relentlessly catalyzed by the years slowly opened her notebook.

She said: "After I was rescued, I cut out such a photo in the newspaper. He was my friend at the time. Because of him, many people survived... I don't remember who the contributor was, but I am very grateful To preserve this scene at that time, so that those of us who miss him can have some comfort."

"He saved the names of many people, he maintained order in the most insane and chaotic environment, and he gave more children and women a chance to survive. He is not a crew member, and doing so will not do him any good , and even many people who cannot board the ship hate him and curse him..." Ruth stroked the notebook with her hand.

Lovett: "So he didn't survive?"

"Yes, as far as I know, he took the initiative to leave the chance of survival to others, and the ship was close to being overloaded at that time, so he refused the request of the people he helped to ask him to board the ship." Ruth slowly opened the notebook , and the camera also turned to the pages of the book.

On the yellowed paper, a young man with a fuzzy face stood on the deck, his black hair was disheveled by the sea breeze, but this did not detract from his unbendable sword-like temperament.He looked calm and calm, and one couldn't help being in awe of such a spirit.

Hannibal sighed when he heard Ruth's voice: "He is my respected and admired friend, he is Claire Vidor."
