Chapter 146: Delusion

"I have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, and now I have sunk to 1500 meters." Xia Shou said to his notes.

[It's a true delusion. The Control Bureau has relevant files. Go check.]

The notes are concise and save a lot of paper space.

Xia Shou turned on the computer and entered the three words "true delusion syndrome" into the file software, and the file popped up.

【True delusion】

[A derivative disease that appears in patients with abyssal delusions is called true delusion, which is manifested by seeing absurd and bizarre scenes and hearing strange noises.

The characteristic that distinguishes it from ordinary delusional disorder is that patients can occasionally hear effective mysterious knowledge.

However, patients with delusional disorder often experience physical deformities, and their personalities and ideas undergo drastic changes, which are extremely harmful to society and have a very high mortality rate.

Xia Shou randomly clicked on the attached pictures in the file. They were all pictures of deformed human bodies, with a brief summary of the experience below the pictures.

A man whose only head had been transformed into a wolf's head ate his pet dog and forced his wife to feed him.

A man's gravity direction is reversed and he has to hang an iron pendant on his foot to survive, but due to an accident he ends up flying to a high altitude and dies from lack of oxygen.

A person feels like a Lego brick, trying to "take apart" facial muscles to make himself look good.

But unfortunately, he did not gain any superpowers, and the severed cheek muscles could not be put back in place, so he filed a lawsuit against LEGO, which was eventually discovered by the regulatory authorities.

There are many such examples, and the endings are either distortion or madness, which often end up hurting ordinary people. Therefore, patients with delusional disorder are hunted by the control bureau.

Earlier, the Control Bureau had also tried to treat and research patients with delusional disorder, but the huge amount of resources invested did not produce any treatment rules, but instead resulted in painful lessons.

During their treatment and research, they found that a large number of patients said that they felt very good when certain conditions were met.

And when doctors adopt their opinions, their mental and distortion symptoms will be effectively alleviated.

However, these compassionate treatments all ended in tragedy.

The control bureau eventually discovered that the patients' self-thoughts had long been molded and modified like plasticine, and the disease itself had long become the master of their bodies.

Moreover, diseases are extremely cunning and will adjust themselves to deceive doctors in order to achieve their own goals.

After that, except for a very small number of patients with delusional disorder who were still put into research, the vast majority were terminated by default.

Xia Shou frowned, a chill running down his spine.

The scary thing about mental illness is that the person suffering from it is unable to detect his or her own abnormality.

Just like the wolf-headed man felt that he should be raised by his wife, Xia Shou could not confirm whether he was normal.

Of course, Xia Shou now feels that he is normal.

"Is there any way to treat it?" Xia Shou asked the notes.

The words on the notebook continued to appear:
[I know some information that is not recorded by the control bureau, but I cannot guarantee that it is correct.

I personally believe that the biggest cause of delusional disorder is the rapid sinking of the root sea.

The faster the sinking, the more intense the symptoms of delirium.

Secondly, as long as you enter another layer of sea from one layer of sea, the previous delusion will disappear.

You just said that you sank to 1500 meters. Did you encounter any other problems besides delirium? For example, heavy bleeding.

“I don’t feel anything.”

No words appeared in the notes for nearly thirty seconds.

When the text reappeared, the topic returned to delusion.

[Now that you have reached 1500 meters, you cannot turn back. God does not encourage you to float up.

When you arrive at the next sea area, your true delusion syndrome will be cured. The true delusion syndrome in each sea area exists independently.

Just slowly collect the tickets to the sea of ​​blood and gradually sink down. 】 "Tickets are not easy to get." Xia Shou frowned.

The ticket to the Sea of ​​Eternal Bleeding is related to the Blood God.

For example, Idrisu's key, or blood skills.

But now all blood-related skills will be absorbed by the second self, so the way to use skills as a ticket is completely cut off.

The only thing that can serve as a ticket is the Blood God's relic.

But where to find it?

After much thought, Xia Shousi felt that he could only look for an opportunity in the Heaven Choir.

The Heavenly Choir is an absolutely secret and safe trading place, and maybe you can exchange it for the Blood God's relics.

As for the items to be exchanged, Xia Shou already has an idea.

But he didn't want to use that method unless it was absolutely necessary.

In addition, Xia Shou also needs to quickly resolve the aging curse imposed on him by the unnamed person.

Although the effect of this curse has not yet appeared, it is best to cure the disease before it occurs, and it is best to remove the curse before the symptoms appear.

If you wait until the curse takes effect and your body starts to age, things will only get worse.

Xia Shou also had some ideas about how to solve this problem.

Idrisu inside the Gate of Bones, his desire is to cure an extremely rare terminal illness, and he might be able to get Idrisu to help cure it.

"After I merge the extra skills, let's go back to Merlin's House." Xia Shou said to Alice.

"Well, but Lord Xia Shou, you should rest now." Alice reminded warmly.

Xia Shou nodded.

The fusion ceremony will have to be prepared after we get back. Now just listen to Alice and go to sleep first, and also go to the Heaven Choir.

Xia Shou crawled into bed, covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes, and sank into the deep sea of ​​roots...

The sea water at 1500 meters is still cold and dark.

I don’t know where the huge red light went last time.

Maybe it's left at 1200 meters.

This time, he opened his eyes and saw a figure floating not far away.

It was the back of a human being, and it was alive, swimming in the sea in a clumsy manner.

Xia Shou frowned slightly and chose not to get closer. Anything that appeared at this depth should be assumed to be dangerous.

He observed the figure from behind. The other person seemed to be aware of his gaze and slowly turned his head to look at him. Then, as if frightened, he paddled desperately like a frog and swam away into the darker depths.

Xia Shou looked behind him, but there was nothing scary behind him.

Could it be that the person just now was afraid of me?
It's really strange.

Xia Shou shook his head, took out the badge of the Heaven Choir, entered the pale space, and pushed open the door of the club.

"Oh, you're back so soon! I thought you wouldn't be here for at least a week!"

As soon as Xia Shou opened the door, he saw a double-door refrigerator walking towards him aggressively, shocking him so much that he took a step back.

"Brother Faust, this little step of yours really breaks my heart. I'm not here to collect debts!" ​​Little Red Riding Hood shrugged, and the trapezius muscles on her neck almost stretched out like a fan.

"I just... Never mind. Thank you for last time." Xia Shou said, "This time I have another thing I want to ask you."

Little Red Riding Hood looked around mysteriously, then came closer and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, have you solved the problem of your invisible blood hound?"
