Chapter 024 Zero Reason

[Rationality: 0]

Good guy.

When Lu Ban saw these attributes, he exclaimed, "Wow!"

My rationality vanished to zero in just one night.

According to the understanding of attributes, if sanity is reduced to zero, it means that Lu Ban currently has no sanity left.

Reason, logic, and thought—these are the very things that make us human—will all be lost.

Or rather, if Lu Ban's sanity level were to drop to zero, he should immediately fall into an incurable madness, so how could he possibly remain in his current state?

Is there some kind of error here?

Lu Ban felt that he was currently very healthy, both physically and mentally.

In fact, due to last night's experience, Lu Ban felt that his mental state was better than ever before. After all, being able to sleep undisturbed for several hours was extremely helpful in restoring energy.

"You should see a psychologist later."

Lu Ban thought to himself.

It was well past six o'clock, almost noon. Lu Ban took one last look at the dilapidated Jiangcheng Grand Theater, packed his things, and walked out the door.

After taking a bus and then the subway back to the city, Lu Ban didn't rush home. Instead, he went to Jiangcheng People's Hospital first.

After putting his backpack and crowbar in a public locker, Lu Ban registered and sat on a hospital bench waiting for the doctor to call his number.

"Sir, this is not a good idea. Smoking is prohibited in the hospital."

Lu Ban saw the old man sitting next to him holding a homemade cigarette and shakily lighting it, so he quickly pressed it out with his finger.

The old man glanced at Lu Ban, his eyes vacant and lifeless, with dark red veins bulging beneath his pale skin.

Lu Ban noticed a mother with a silent child looking at him in horror from a short distance away, and she turned the child's head away so that the child would not look at Lu Ban. He smiled.

"Please come to consultation room number two. Please come to consultation room number two."

Upon hearing his name called, Lu Ban straightened his clothes and went into the examination room.

Across from me was a male doctor in a white coat, about forty years old, wearing frameless square glasses, who looked very kind.

"Hello, my surname is Hao, you can call me Dr. Hao."

He introduced himself and shook hands with Lu Ban.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable or experiencing any emotional problems?"

Dr. Hao, holding a whiteboard and pen with Lu Ban's newly received medical record beside him, asked in a gentle tone.

After hearing Dr. Hao's words, Lu Ban pondered for a moment before calmly speaking.

"I think I might be going crazy."

"?"

Dr. Hao was taken aback.

He looked Lu Ban up and down, then adjusted his glasses.

"You mean, you feel like you have a mental problem?"

"Correct."

Lu Ban nodded.

"Are there any symptoms?"

Over the years of treating patients, Dr. Hao has seen all sorts of mental illnesses.

There are those who become depressed from practicing knife techniques they saw online, those who are always worried that troublemakers are trying to harm them, and those who are "assassins" who treat potted plants as friends and wear sunglasses late at night.

When most mental patients sit down and are asked questions by Dr. Hao, their first words are usually: "I'm not sick."

It's quite rare to hear someone like Lu Ban start by saying "I'm crazy."

Of course, it's not entirely nonexistent.

For example, there was a rich kid who hit and killed someone with his car and then ran over the person repeatedly. In the end, he went to a psychiatrist and strongly requested to be diagnosed with mental illness in order to get away with the crime. Dr. Hao, of course, was truthful and watched as the kid was sent to prison.

“I have recently encountered a series of ghosts that want to kill and torment me. I have also seen monsters in the starry sky. As soon as they open their eyes, humanity will perish.”

When asked by the doctor, Lu Ban told the truth.

"ghost?"

While patiently following Lu Ban's questions, Dr. Hao wrote a few words on his notepad.

Hypochondria, ghosts and monsters.

"Yes, there are at least two ghosts in my house."

Lu Ban nodded.

Do you think they will harm you?

"There's a chance it will happen, and there's a chance it won't."

"Oh."

Dr. Hao wrote a few more words on the record board.

Mild paranoia, with questionable schizophrenic tendencies.

"You seem very calm. Aren't you afraid that those ghosts will harm you?"

“I can smash them with a crowbar, and I can also blow the suona to ward off evil spirits.”

"Suona?"

Dr. Hao paused.

The use of the suona to exorcise evil spirits seems to have many problems, yet it also seems to have nothing wrong with it.

"Yes, I have a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument). If I play it, I can see a dark yellow planet in the universe. On that planet, a great being lies dormant. He has not yet awakened, but he can influence humanity and drive them mad with just his delirious ramblings..."

Lu Ban recounted in detail what he had seen.

The Silent Land system has no confidentiality policy, and even gave Lu Ban mission videos, clearly showing that it doesn't care about confidentiality.

However, a normal person would not believe Lu Ban's words unless they experienced it firsthand.

As Dr. Hao listened to Lu Ban's story, he wrote down a sentence on a piece of paper.

The patient suffers from severe delusional disorder, having developed their own unique worldview. An X-ray is recommended for observation, as organic lesions may have already developed.

He is quite ill.

"I noticed you seemed to be trying to say something from the beginning, keeping glancing in my direction. Is there a problem?"

Dr. Hao asked again.

"No."

Lu Ban answered immediately, then looked away from the doll with the funny smiley face on Dr. Hao's shoulder.

"...Alright, I understand your situation."

After taking notes, Dr. Hao continued.

"I think your situation is probably due to too much pressure, which may stem from childhood experiences or recent trauma. You should try to maintain a calm attitude towards these things."

"For example, ghosts and monsters. Of course, there are no ghosts and monsters in this world. The reason you think there are ghosts and monsters is probably because of excessive delusion."

When this was mentioned, Dr. Hao recalled what the nurses were chatting about this morning; it seemed to be some kind of paranormal video.

"Many of the ghosts and monsters you think they are are actually just special effects. I've heard that there are some popular paranormal videos online that claim to contain ghosts and monsters, but these videos are obviously fake and can be identified as special effects. Why don't you go and find a few to watch? Let me see... I've got it."

Dr. Hao took out his phone, did a quick search, and soon found the video that had been viewed more than six million times. He handed the phone to Lu Ban.

Lu Ban took the phone and saw the video titled "[Never open this at night!!!]". He saw his own room in the video and saw himself lying down.

"But doctor..."

Lu Ban's expression remained unchanged as he pointed to the video on his phone.

"I am the person inside."

"???"

A question mark appeared above Dr. Hao's head.

He hurriedly dragged the video progress bar, and then he saw that the man lying on the bed with dark handprints on his body, struggling with his eyes closed, was indeed Lu Ban.

"How about this... you go get a CT scan, and we'll check if there are any lesions."
