Truth is everywhere within range

Ms. Junko Yasuda is thirty-three years old and single.

She graduated from Tokyo Women's University and worked for a trading company after graduation.

But about seven years ago, she resigned from the company for some unknown reason and relied on her previous savings to buy an ordinary apartment in Suginami Ward to live in. She was unemployed at home and didn't seem to want to go out to work.

The fracture occurred because she slipped and fell while taking a shower at home. It was an accident.

After being sent to Showa University First Affiliated Hospital, Ms. Yasuda did not show anything special at first. After the bone injury was generally healed, she began to recover and often walked in the courtyard.

During that time, someone discovered that Ms. Yasuda would occasionally call non-existent people by their names. Sometimes it was Shuji, and sometimes it was Hanako. When calling these names, someone asked Ms. Yasuda who she was calling. She explained that it was her husband and daughter.

But soon, Ms. Yasuda would forget these things again, which attracted the attention of the doctor. The preliminary results were that she was actually schizophrenia plus mild delusion, and she was hospitalized for observation. Since Ms. Yasuda’s case was very rare, she later The hospital relied on her to apply for a large amount of funds, so Ms. Yasuda did not have to worry about hospitalization expenses.

"Although the average patient will also have delusions, most of them are delusions with no logic, just like dreams. As long as you have a little chat with them, you will find contradictions. Most patients will wake up at this stage. A small number of people will develop mania, anger and other emotions as a result.”

Nurse Kudo said with lingering fear.

"But Ms. Yasuda is different. She, how should I say, her assumptions are very logical. When she became ill, she could clearly explain how she and her 'husband' met and how they interacted. She can tell her 'daughter''s likes and characteristics, but if the police hadn't investigated the people she mentioned and found that they didn't exist, we would all have thought something was wrong."

"Has the police investigated? What about the spirit slayer?"

Qiao Qiao was a little curious. The police were involved, so the spirit exterminator should come to investigate.

"Well, after Ms. Yasuda was transferred to the department, she was worried that it was a strange influence, so she called the police, and there seemed to be spiritual exterminators, but no strange influence was found at that time."

Nurse Kudo nodded and stood up quickly when she saw a doctor passing by.

"I'll take you to see her."

She took Qiao Qiao and Ariko back to the ward of the mental health department.

Through the small window on the door, you can see that most of the patients inside are sitting on the bed reading or playing with their mobile phones, and some are taking a nap. They look very quiet, and they are all men.

Arriving at the innermost room, Nurse Kudo opened the door.

In the room, two women in hospital gowns were chatting about their school days. When Nurse Kudo came in with a stranger, they were immediately wary.

"Yasuda-san, these two are spirit exterminators from the Spirit Exorcist Association. They want to find you to investigate something."

One of the women with short hair was thoughtful, nodded, said a few words to the people around her, and then stood up.

The four of them came to the psychological consultation room next to the nurse station and sat down. Junko Yasuda acted very calmly, without the restlessness of patients with mental illness at all.

"Exorcist? Are there any ghosts around me?"

Yasuda Junko couldn't help but ask after confirming Qiao Qiao's soul-killing certificate.

"This is it."

Qiao Qiao's spiritual vision glanced around Yasuda Junko, and there was a slight yin energy, but it was not abnormal.

"Yasuda-san, can you reach out?"

"Reach out?"

Yasuda Junko didn't quite understand. Could it be that she wanted to read palms?

She thought of the soothsayers on the roadside.

However, Yasuda Junko still stretched out her hand, and Qiao Qiao gently placed his hand on her palm, and then began to channel.

Many pictures appeared in Qiao Qiao's mind.

From the time Junko Yasuda was a child, until now.

Ordinary elementary school, promotion to girls' high school, all the way to girls' college, finding a job, working, resigning, being injured and hospitalized.

"Um?"

Looking at these pictures, Qiao Qiao always felt that something was wrong.

Although it seems like a smooth and coherent life, there is a certain sense of lack.

Of course, in this life, I did not see the existence of Yasuda Junko's so-called "husband" and "daughter".

"Tell me about your husband?"

Qiao Qiao retracted his hand and asked.

"Husband? No, I'm not married. I've always been alone."

Junko Yasuda asked in confusion.

"She would not have considered herself to have a husband and a daughter under normal circumstances."

Nurse Kudo whispered in Qiao Qiao's ear.

"Is that so? I read the records. You were unable to walk after you fractured your bones. You were sent to the hospital. Who sent you? A neighbor?"

Qiao Qiao asked again.

"Of course my husband sent it to me."

Yasuda Junko replied matter-of-factly.

"?"

On the side, Ariko's eyes widened and she didn't dare to say anything.

"Didn't you just say that you are not married and have always been alone?"

Qiao Qiao asked further.

"No, I have a husband. He was originally a client of mine. After a cooperation, we left our contact information. Then he invited me out to watch movies or something, and we gradually became familiar with each other. After a year of dating, we After getting married, I quit my job and became a full-time housewife.”

Yasuda Junko explained in a smooth tone.

"You mean you resigned from the company after you married your husband?"

Qiao Qiao felt that things were getting interesting.

But on the side, Nurse Kudo looked at Qiao Qiao with some surprise.

This person actually communicated with the mentally ill without any obstacles.

Who has the problem?

"Yes, otherwise where would I get the income to support myself? The income from the foreign trade company is less than 6 million, how could I live for seven years? Don't those policemen even understand such a simple truth?"

Junko Yasuda said rather disdainfully.

"really."

Qiao Qiao also nodded in agreement.

"?"

Ariko was stunned.

Teacher, don’t be led into the rhythm of this mental patient.

"Then why has your husband never come to visit you?"

Qiao Qiao asked again. In his hand was the visit record that Nurse Kudo had brought before. There was no record of Yasuda Junko's husband or daughter in it.

"He has been here, several times, but he hasn't come recently. Maybe he is too busy with work. When he came here before, he would give me flowers and put them in the vase in the room."

Yasuda Junko replied without thinking.

Qiao Qiao recalled that next to Yasuda's table, there was only an empty bottle and no flowers.

"Oh, maybe it has something to do with the nightmare I had recently."

Yasuda Junko suddenly lamented again.

"By the way, nightmares. It is said that you have been having nightmares recently. Can you tell me what they are about?"

Ariko felt that she could no longer discuss the settings of the brain supplement with a mental patient, so she took the opportunity to change the topic.

Hearing Ariko's words, Yasuda Junko's eyes dimmed a little.
