Lei Yue, 18 years old, was an art student in the recent college entrance examination and failed.

She experienced a fire when she was a child, her parents died, she was disfigured, and she suffered from the rare mental disorder "Cotard syndrome". Recently, her grandmother passed away on the day of the Shotgun Man murder...

The fire is in front, the crows are gathering in the back, and the bullying follows...

Lin Hongyun looked at the archive documents in her hands and could vaguely grasp the connection.

Now it seems that mental disorder? Is it related to idiosyncratic influence?

She needs to make sure of this.

In previous investigations, they had consulted multiple psychiatrists who had treated Lei Yue.

Because delusions such as Cotard's syndrome are very rare, doctors have an impression of Lei Yue.

At that time, Lin Hongyun also talked with Professor Wang Ruifu, who first treated Lei Yue, and also looked through some medical records that were originally private to the patient, but found no abnormalities.

Those medical records and the doctors' statements are that Lei Yue is strong, has been taking medicine for many years, and his condition is stable.

only……

"I have to call Professor Wang and ask."

In order to keep the clues secret, Lin Hongyun took out her personal mobile phone. The more she thought about it, the more sullen she became.

Perhaps at the beginning more than ten years ago, Lei Yue's condition was not that simple, but some details were hidden in the few symptoms of "accompanied by auditory hallucinations and hallucinations" in the medical records.

And because so much time has passed, the elderly Professor Wang may not be able to recall those details.

Neither she nor other investigators paid enough attention to Lei Yue at that time.

Under the attention of all her colleagues, Lin Hongyun called Professor Wang regardless of whether it was early in the morning.

Professor Wang was once the director of the Department of Psychiatry at Dongshu University Hospital and a tenured professor at the School of Psychiatry at Dongshu University. Due to his old age and poor health, he has retired for many years and lived in seclusion in the countryside.

It's almost one o'clock in the morning now, Professor Wang should have rested long ago.

Therefore, the mobile phone beeped to be connected, and for a while, the other party did not get through.

The atmosphere in the office became increasingly anxious. The big man scratched his head and muttered: "Lei Yue?"

It was at Fu Rong Market before that he had seen the rotten-faced boy, only about ten steps away, and he was standing there...

Could it be that the incident where the shotgun man's graffiti appeared that day was also related?

"..." Lin Hongyun waited anxiously, took hold of the mouse and clicked, watching the video play again on the computer screen, she wanted to find more clues.

The little boy who was bullied by a group of children had a rotten face that sometimes looked like he was smiling, sometimes looked like he was crying, and was expressionless at the same time, very helpless.

Suddenly, the phone was connected, and Professor Wang's old voice came out, breaking the weird air in the office:

"Hello, Agent Lin?"

"Hello, Professor Wang. I'm disturbing you so late. It's about a case."

Lin Hongyun said quickly, Professor Wang over there made a few oohs and she said again:

"We are pressed for time here, so I asked directly about the patient Lei Yue!

"Does his medical history include crows? Anything crow-related."

Everyone listened to the call in silence, and when they heard Professor Wang on the other end, he seemed to be thinking hard:

"Let me think about it, Lei Yue? Is it a crow? It has been many years. I have forgotten things in my old age. I can't seem to think of anything and have no impression."

Lin Hongyun's heart suddenly sank, but she was not surprised.

If this were not the case, Professor Wang would not have mentioned it before.

"Professor Wang, this matter is very important, please think clearly." She could only ask this, looking at the video on the computer screen, she immediately said:

"By the way, I have a nursery rhyme here: The crow flies home and sees the house on fire..."

She read the forgotten nursery rhyme again, "This is a nursery rhyme made up by children from the same village to bully Lei Yue. Is there any impact of this incident in his medical history?"

"Crow, crow..." Professor Wang murmured a few words thoughtfully. Suddenly, some memories seemed to be evoked by the nursery rhyme, "Oh!"

The old man, who was already over eighty years old, said: "This thing... Yes, I remembered it, there are crows!"

Lin Hongyun raised her eyebrows and looked at each other a few times with the big guy, Le Zai, Xiao Zhi, and Wen Nu.

Everyone's expressions became excited, and their hearts were lifted.

Everyone knows that we caught a big fish this time.

"I told you last time that Cotard's syndrome is very complicated and current medical research still cannot understand it."

Professor Wang began to speak slowly while thinking about it:

"This disease is like a death curse. Many patients will commit suicide due to depression and fear that others cannot understand.

"The reason for their emotional feelings is that the body's death hallucination constantly tortures them, and some people also have other visual and auditory hallucinations.

"You have reminded me now. I remember that the patient Lei Yue said at that time that he would see a crow following him."

Lin Hongyun's eyes became sharper and sharper, she found it, she really found it.

"What is your medical diagnosis for this?" she asked.

"As for the child Lei Yue, he behaved very strangely when he was first admitted to the hospital. He was not particularly scared and would often be in a daze."

Professor Wang continued, "I knew at a glance that this child had hidden the fear caused by the fire deep into his subconscious. This was the function of the psychological self-protection mechanism, otherwise he might have schizophrenia.

"Agent Lin, I've told you before, schizophrenia and paranoia are actually two different things.

“What we generally think of as ‘crazy’ is schizophrenia, where the mind is completely unclear and the whole brain is devoid of logic.

"But paranoia is different. Except for the content related to the theme of the delusion, their sanity is completely normal. They just firmly believe in the content of their delusions, but they are often very logical and everything makes sense."

Lin Hongyun listened and already understood this, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "That crow?"

The big guy also opened his head, as if he wanted to see Professor Wang's expression on the other end of the phone.

"The child's psychological self-protection mechanism knows that he cannot face that fear, otherwise he will develop into schizophrenia, so he dealt with it this way and hid it deeply first."

Professor Wang, who didn’t know the inside story, said calmly:

"But if this fear is not dealt with, it will appear in other forms, namely auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations and other hallucinations.

"What you just said, that nursery rhyme, once increased Lei Yue's fear for a while, and his hallucinations became more serious.

"At that time, the child became aggressive for a time. If it hadn't been for his grandmother, he wouldn't have been able to handle it."

Lin Hongyun understood this and asked: "You mean, the crow is the embodiment of his fear?"

"No, no, that's his friend, the friend who protects him."

Professor Wang continued to talk, and the more he talked, the more he remembered:

“When children fantasize about having an animal friend to protect them, the most common ones are pets like cats and dogs, followed by beasts like lions and tigers.

"But Lei Yue's situation is different. He thinks he is dead, so the friends he needs will be different.

"Ravens can predict good and bad luck, which can be found in civilizations all over the world. In addition, ravens will bring the dead back to life.

"The crow, both a happy and a vicious bird, has long had a deep position in the collective subconscious of mankind. This is a typical image. It is an imaginary friend of the patient's self-protection. It is powerful and helps him face fears and other things that are full of dangers.

Uncertainty, risky challenges.”

Lin Hongyun listened to this, took a few steps, and her colleagues with solemn faces understood.

Aliens can invade people's thinking. When a person's thoughts are too strong, coupled with other characteristics and factors, a certain resonance can be achieved. This is how alien resonance occurs.

They didn't know anything about Lei Yue's current state. Just think about how much of a blow Lei Yue's grandmother's death would have on him...

How did the current resonance of Fulong Village come about?

It was that rotten-faced boy who triggered the resonance in another dimension, whether it was the arrival of the crowd of crows back then or the door to the world that is about to open now.

"Where's the fear?" Lin Hongyun thought about this and felt a little chilly in her heart. If that boy really caused this level of resonance...

That boy will scare many people.

She asked Professor Wang on the other end of the phone: "Has Lei Yue's unprocessed fear ever manifested as a hallucination?"
