Joker Game (Fei Gua) Chapter 2: Contract

"The first question, in front of you is a person who is suffering from a disease. He has no cure and can only wait for death in pain. If you have a gun in your hand, at this time you will...

A: Try to communicate with him and let him regain the confidence to live

B: Call the police and let someone else handle this

C: End his suffering with a gun and surrender

D: End his suffering and cover up the crime"

Obviously, this is a very common psychological test, and next, there will be a series of similar questions, each option corresponds to a score, and finally add, subtract, and subtract, to roughly determine a person's psychological condition.

But this kind of test is too general and very inaccurate, and it is impossible to use it as a psychological evaluation of a mental patient...

"So, this is not a test to determine whether I will be discharged from the hospital." Chen Xiao thought.

While reaching such a conclusion, he was still thinking about the question raised by Ms. Liu, as if he could think about many things at the same time without interfering with each other.

First of all, he naturally knew what kind of results these four answers represented. So what would the real self do, after throwing away the options, kill him? Will try to save him? Or call the police? Maybe I'll look at him in pain and laugh at him, maybe I'll whisper in his ear how terrible this disease is, and see how long it takes to drive him crazy. Or...

For a moment, countless possibilities appeared in his mind, but what surprised Chen Xiao was that he didn't know what he would do.

This is a very strange feeling. Everyone should have a subconscious projection of themselves, such as knowing that they are afraid of spiders, knowing that they will be very painful after being scalded by boiling water, and knowing that their wife will feel pain after being slept with. Very angry, this is a kind of self-thinking similar to instinct.

But Chen Xiao doesn't seem to have this ability, the countless possibilities are like a big turntable that keeps turning, until the moment it stops, he has no way of knowing what he will do.

This wonderful feeling made Chen Xiao feel... very interesting! I even feel like laughing!

Of course, he won't really laugh. This lack of self-control can be classified as crazy, but it's not stupid. Chen Xiao is very aware of his situation.

So it took him less than one-tenth of a second to think through all the above questions, and another nine-tenths of a second to glance at the window on the right side of the room and smell the air in the room. smell, and blinked his eyes by the way. Then say in a positive but unaffected tone: "B!"

Ms. Liu drew a few strokes on the file and continued to ask the next question.

...

These questions are similar, including compassion, values, respect for life, and so on and so on. And most of them are very simple, let people know what to choose as soon as they hear the answer. So much so that Chen Xiao felt a little bored.

So he started to focus on two things again, answering questions while observing his surroundings.

Hmm... The walls have been painted not long ago, the decoration is not bad, there is a water dispenser, there is an air conditioner, and although there are many books on the bookcase, they are obviously not needed for office work, so she may not have a lot of work to do. Even if there is a job, it is not about the patient. Although the chair is not big, it is obviously very comfortable. It belongs to the type that does not feel uncomfortable when lying down and sleeping. The hospital should not allocate a separate room for general doctors. The room, that is to say, this woman is likely to be a high-level figure in the hospital, which can also explain why he didn't wear a badge. But judging from her behavior and demeanor, she should be someone who has been on the front line of work for a long time.

At this time, Chen Xiao's eyes were attracted by some things on the top of the bookshelf. These things include pens, some notebooks, a very thick transparent thermos cup without a handle, half of the tea can be seen through the wall of the cup, and a photo frame, but the photos in the photo frame cannot be seen.

Chen Xiao turned his gaze to the desk again, and he quickly came to a conclusion.

That is, this office does not belong to Ms. Liu in front of me, she just borrowed it temporarily. Not only because Chen Xiao didn't find the ashtray, but also from the huge water glass, it can be guessed that its owner should be a man, and he respects or fears Ms. Liu in front of him very much. Out of courtesy. Although not completely certain, such reasoning can temporarily explain some of the previous doubts.

Immediately afterwards, another question arose. Isn't this Ms. Liu from this hospital? Otherwise, there is no need to temporarily borrow this office, let alone conduct such a simple and meaningless psychological test. Is she a staff member of another unit or organization? Even if it is, it should be at the grassroots level, otherwise they wouldn't be sent to such a place at night.

Oh, by the way, Chen Xiao must know that it is night, after all he just glanced out the window. At the same time, in the second between Ms. Liu finished speaking the first question and Chen Xiao said the answer. He also saw that there was no light outside the window, and the house was not cold. Although the temperature didn't feel like it was the current season, he could confirm that there was no artificial heating such as heating. There is no frost on the mirror, it is not late autumn or winter, and of course it does not rule out that I am in a tropical area. Not sleepy at all, maybe I'm a night owl? It is more likely that it is not too late, assuming it is spring, then the most likely between 8pm and 12pm. It is very quiet outside the window, no cars, no water, no wind, very remote.

I wanted to write these useless things in one stroke, but I accidentally wrote them out again, really not to make up the word count.

Closer to home, what place does the grassroots staff respect so much for the senior leaders of such a large mental hospital? It can even let me, a mental patient who should be regarded as very dangerous, be discharged from the hospital. What if I go out to endanger the society? It shouldn't be possible for a place with such great power to exist.

That's what Chen Xiao thought, and Ms. Liu's test seemed to be coming to an end.

"Last question, uh...are you a sociopath, yes or no!"

Chen Xiao frowned. Judging from the previous tests, it was obvious that this question was a little too irresponsible. He looked at Ms. Liu's expression again, showing a hint of impatience... , Chen Xiao had another conjecture, and immediately confirmed it.

"Uh..." He snorted with his nose. This is a very, very subtle pronunciation. It is short and the sound is so small that it is hard to hear clearly, but it can be roughly known that it is one syllable, which is a bit Like "um". If the pronunciation is answering a question, it should represent the answer "yes". But since it's so vague, the average person will have doubts and have to check. At this time, Chen Xiao can change the answer to "No!"

Then why did Chen Xiao do this, because he wanted to see the reaction of this Ms. Liu.

Sure enough, she didn't confirm the answer to Chen Xiao, but let out a long breath as if she had finally completed a boring cutscene.

At this moment, Chen Xiao should be able to confirm that this test is actually irrelevant.

"Then the main event should be in the back." He thought.

Just as he thought, Ms. Liu turned around, threw the file folder on the desk, picked up a book similar to a contract, then grabbed something else, and went back to Chen Before laughing.

"Congratulations, you have passed the psychological test. You are very honored to have the opportunity to cooperate with us." She said, speaking a little faster, this passage should be said often.

"Our company is developing some new products. For the time being, you don't need to know what they are. You just need to know that you have been selected as a volunteer to test some of their performance. During the test, there may be dangers. But you know, drinking water has the risk of choking to death, anyway, after you complete these performance tests, you will be released, and all your past crimes, dangerous records, disease certificates, and everything that has adversely affected you will be erased, and you can return to society to start a new life." Ms. Liu continued to speak in an orderly manner, then she picked up the book in her hand and turned directly to the last page.

"As long as you put your handprint on this!" She said: "Now you have 20 seconds to consider whether to fight for a chance at freedom or go back to that ward for the rest of your life. Oh, there are 10 seconds left. Seconds, 9, 8..."

This is a very simple dialogue technique. Put two very different options in front of you, and then use time to urge you to make a choice quickly. At this time, almost everyone will rush to choose the one to see The option looks so good that there is no time to think about what is hidden behind it.

But Chen Xiao is different. He clearly knows what these two options mean. After signing this contract, it will definitely be a huge pit. When people know the truth, they will regret what they did today. Decided ~IndoMTL.com~ so he hardly took a moment to think about it, just said: "I agree!"

Uh... yes, he agreed.

Because the other option was unacceptable to him, Chen Xiao couldn't bear to be pushed back to the ward like this, no matter how terrible things he would face after signing this contract, at least it would be more interesting.

Interesting! ...Chen Xiao suddenly thought of this word, and seemed to have found something so important that he wanted to pursue it at all costs.

"Life must be interesting!" He thought, and the corners of his mouth parted unconsciously, wanting to laugh!

"Oh! It's really..." Ms. Liu in front of her muttered something, and Chen Xiao knew that the second half of her sentence was the word "disgusting".

As for the fact that I feel disgusted when I smile?

At this time, Ms. Liu frowned, put a piece of ink pad next to Chen Xiao's right hand, and said, "Click it."

Since the wrist was tied very firmly, it was very difficult for Chen Xiao to touch the ink pad, which was sticky and uncomfortable.

Immediately, Ms. Liu handed over the document again.

"Press!" She said very simply.

Chen Xiao also tried his best to press his thumbprint on the contract again.

Ms. Liu took a look at the contract, nodded slightly, turned around and held the documents on the table together in her arms.

After that, he opened the door and walked out.

Chen Xiao heard her say to the medical staff pushing the cart who was still standing at the door: "Someone will pick him up tomorrow morning..."

"Yes, Miss Liu!" said the man.

Then, the sound of high heels became farther and farther...
