Generally speaking, if there are more than 1,000 personalities in a person's body, it cannot be said that the disease is not serious. Most people who confirm this fact will make a fuss about it and call it outrageous.
This is indeed the case. How can we fit more than 1,000 souls into one body?
But now a man said to him that you are not as sick as me, and David wanted to see how sick Schiller was.
"How many personalities do you have?" David asked.
"I have only one."
"This is impossible."
"There is really only one, but it was broken into more than 2,000 pieces."
David was speechless and choked.
It seems that it is indeed more serious than having more than 1,000 souls crammed into a person's body, or having one soul broken into more than 2,000 pieces.
"How are you alive?" David asked curiously.
"Make do with life, and survive as long as you live."
If someone had answered David's question this way in the past, he would have thought he was being perfunctory, but now it seems that Schiller is serious, but think about it, now that this is the situation, what else can we do if we don't just make do with it?
"Why is your soul broken?"
"An accident." Schiller answered simply.
"You think I'm going to come and talk to you about mutants?" David said. "Why do you think that's the case? Do you think I'm their representative?"
"No, I think you don't care much about them, you care more about yourself, but your problem is that you are a mutant, so to solve your problem, we still have to talk about mutants."
David frowned deeply.
Schiller clutched the pen in his hand and said: "You may think that the root cause of your current situation is dissociative identity disorder, so you came to me and thought that as an excellent psychiatrist, I have a way to cure your mental illness.
disease."
"But in fact, your problem is not split personality at all, but that each personality you split has its own thoughts and abilities. What matters is ability. If they don't have those superpowers, then they are harmless."
"Just for society, they make me miserable."
"If your other personalities do not have superpowers and do not pose a danger to society, your pain can be solved with medical means, but if the stress reactions of each of them will cause huge damage in reality, then if this problem is not solved
Problem, no one dares to treat your dissociative identity disorder."
David frowned and thought for a while, and he had to admit that this was indeed the case. If those personalities only existed in his mind and could not affect reality, maybe a psychiatrist could make them disappear or merge.
But once they have independent thoughts and independent abilities, trying to erase them will definitely lead to resistance, and when their strange abilities explode, they will definitely cause major harm. No psychiatrist would dare to do this.
"I can erase them." David sighed and said, "But when one disappears, the other appears again. My ability works on almost everything, except them."
"So you promised Charles to come to my place, and both of you hope that I can solve your problem." Schiller said after careful consideration: "You know that I will definitely find a way to solve it, because you are indeed like a time bomb, even if you are asked to go
Andromeda Galaxy, you might as well blow up the entire universe."
"It's true, no one dares to accept me." David snorted and said, "But they are right, everyone who comes into contact with me will become unfortunate."
"I need to ask first, who do you think you are, and I mean the personality I'm talking to right now."
"I am the real David Haller, and I am his ego. I think you should be able to understand that I am the real David, and I am also the strongest." David rolled his eyes and said, "What I am
The ability he possesses is what David should have had."
"What can you do?"
"Everything except changing myself for the better," David said, "I can make my wishes come true and make the world change according to my will."
"So when did the accident happen?"
"A terrorist attack occurred in Paris." David pursed his lips and said, "I witnessed my adoptive father being killed. I lost control and killed my superego. From then on, everything was out of control."
"Where's your true self?"
"He..." David paused and said in a slightly confused tone: "I don't know, I can't find him."
Schiller was silent for a long time, obviously thinking quickly.
He could understand what David was saying. To a certain extent, this situation was similar to what he had experienced at the time. Due to some external stimulation, something happened in the mental space, and then everything got out of control.
It's just that his performance was that the tower of thinking collapsed, causing his personality to be broken into thousands of pieces. David's superego, which was in charge of moral restraint, was killed. The self that represented desires and instincts disappeared, and his personality was lacking, leading to various kinds of things.
Such strange personalities keep popping up.
"Let's first analyze why you will kill your super-ego when you lose control." Schiller twisted his pen and said to himself: "The super-ego usually represents the underlying conscience and inner moral requirements."
"If I guess correctly, you were a very kind person with high moral standards."
"That's true." David said helplessly: "David Haller is an introverted, kind-hearted person who has never done any bad things. He is a little fragile and sentimental, but he is very gentle."
"Like your father."
"part of."
"There is no doubt that witnessing someone completely breaking the law and committing a murder has a great impact on your morality. You will wonder why the law cannot punish these murderers, and why the law cannot allow you and your relatives to continue
Live quietly."
"These thoughts will be the main culprit that kills your conscience and morality, and the superego may die at that time."
"Do you have a superego?"
"Of course." Schiller said: "But unlike you, I did not grow up in a place with universal values of law and moral concepts. This resulted in my inner conscience and moral requirements being different from those commonly used in society today.
The same, so when I see something happen that goes against my conscience and morality, I will not question my conscience and morality."
David nodded. He knew that this was the so-called twisted morality. As long as the standards of judgment were different, it would be possible to never violate the bottom line.
"If I'm not wrong, you actually had room to stop the terrorists, but you hesitated. Your excessive moral requirements made you hesitate to kill people."
David finally opened his eyes slightly. He had not told anyone about this, including his mother.
David finally sat up straighter, and he began to listen carefully to Schiller's analysis, because he found that the medical staff may have been a little restrained in their evaluation of Schiller's professionalism.
The key is not whether the guess is right or not, but whether they dare to guess. After they have a certain identity and status, they are usually not willing to make such a decisive judgment because they are afraid of making mistakes. Since Schiller said it, it means that he has confidence in his own.
Make a judgment with full confidence.
"Your hesitation gave terrorists an opportunity to strike. After you witnessed the tragic death, you were swallowed up by unparalleled guilt. At the same time, you began to hate the moral requirements this society placed on you, because it was precisely because of this requirement that you lost your extremely important
Important relatives and a wonderful family.”
"Then you instantly killed this request and killed the culprit who hurt your loved ones. All of this is traceable and logical. I feel sorry for what happened to you, but I'm afraid it was inevitable."
David was silent for a moment, but still nodded, and then he said: "That terrorist was the first soul I absorbed. He told me that he wanted to change me, and this is how he changed me."
"Just as there will be no vacuum in power, there will be no real defects in the human spiritual world. If there is lack of reason, there will be more chaos. When crazy thinking makes up for it, if the structure is broken, a new structure will take its place."
"But what puzzles me is that if you only kill your superego, the union of ego and id should not give those personalities that much space. The disappearance of your id is the biggest doubt."
Schiller took out a scale from the side and asked, "When was the last time you wanted something very much?"
"Three months before the terrorist attacks." David recalled: "I saw a great pair of sneakers in the window, and I worked for two months to buy them."
"No more after this?"
"No."
"How long has it been since you thought about your life goals?"
"It's been a long time since these personalities bothered me. I've never thought about them. I almost forgot."
"What about other desires? Appetite, sexual desire..."
David shook his head.
"Very good, it seems that your instincts have stopped working at all." Schiller's expression turned serious, and David felt uneasy.
But this uneasiness soon turned into a hint of panic, because Schiller went to read a book.
It was not enough to just flip through the book, so Schiller turned on the computer and started checking papers. Looking up one paper was not enough, so he started a wide-area search.
"I...can I still be saved?"
"Don't worry, let me take a look." Schiller's frown deepened as he looked.
Then he began to tell, "Our situations are indeed somewhat similar, at least as far as the ego is concerned."
"I have also had problems with my self. He can no longer speak, but my symptoms are relatively shallow and the cause is very simple. It is just an instinctive defect caused by stimulation by certain external factors, which generally does not affect my life."
"But your ego completely disappeared. I speculate that there are two possibilities. One is that the huge guilt at that time not only made you lose control and killed the superego, but also greatly hurt the ego, causing him to be killed as well.
.”
"But the possibility of this situation is low, because if your instinct is completely killed, then you should be completely crazy, two of the three pillars have collapsed, and the entire mental structure will collapse, then you should be lying in the hospital now
Vegetative."
"Since you can still move smoothly, it means that the pillar did not collapse. It just disappeared for some reason. Then there is only one last possibility left. He is hiding."
"Why?"
"Because of guilt." Schiller clicked the mouse with his finger and said: "It may also be disappointment, because it is your instinct to protect your loved ones, but at the critical moment you did not choose to trust your instinct, but chose to believe in morality.
He was deeply disappointed by your distrust, so he hid."
"Do these beings really have personalities?"
"Don't you have a character too?"
David was speechless. He said: "Before I developed crazy symptoms, I never realized that I was not just me, but many mes."
"It's normal. People need some time to accept their own madness." Schiller clicked the mouse and said nonchalantly: "But it doesn't matter, you will get used to it if you are crazy."
David still couldn't refute, because judging from what he saw through mind reading, the doctor in front of him was probably really used to it. Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out how someone could still be normal with more than 2,000 selves.
alive.
"What do you think I should do?" David asked.
"The key lies in your spiritual world." Schiller sighed deeply and said, "This is why I checked the information. We must first solve your mutant abilities, then solve those personalities, and finally find your true self.
,The problem is that the first two steps are too difficult.”
"Why?"
"Because your personality is too strong. It is strong in the real world, but it will only be stronger in the spiritual world."
Schiller thought about it and said: "I may not be able to do it alone. We have to form a psychic assault team to go into your spiritual world and rescue your true self from your chaotic personality."
