Ellsworth Memorial Hospital commemorates Edward Ellsworth Jones, a famous American expert in social psychology and cognitive psychology and the founder of attribution theory.
This theory advocates that people deduce behavioral intentions and motivations from behavior and its results, and that the derived behavioral intentions and motivations correspond to the observed behavior and its results, that is, correspondence inference.
The more information a person has about behavior and the causes of the behavior, the higher the consistency of the inferences he makes about the behavior. The more unusual a behavior is, the greater the consistency of the observer's inferences about its causes.
After observing enough samples, attribution theory can even be added to logical reasoning. This is the psychological profiling commonly used in solving crimes today.
Through what the criminal suspect did to the corpse, such as the method of killing, preparation for killing, behavior after killing, etc., we can infer the psychological state of the suspect, whether he is introverted or extroverted, whether he has any hobbies, and what his psychology is.
made.
Therefore, Ellsworth Memorial Hospital itself is more like a laboratory. The purpose of its existence is to put various mental patients in it, so that researchers can conduct observations at any time and collect pathological data and manifestations.
Unlike treatment facilities like Arkham Sanitarium, they basically do not use drugs and psychological treatment, but only provide a comfortable environment where mental patients can fully express their nature and instincts.
Okay, having said all that, just think of this place as a wildlife park.
Flying over the Suicide Cave, it was pitch black all the way, but this hospital was still brightly lit at night, like a lighthouse.
But it is a mental hospital after all, with tall and solid walls, dense barbed wire fences on top of the walls, and a lot of security sentries and police dogs at the entrance.
So it looks more like a castle manor, except that the main building is more modern.
After landing outside the gate, Su Ming tilted his head and motioned for Diana to negotiate with the guard, using her identity as the Justice League.
"We're going to visit Reggie Long."
Under the dim street lights, the group of people were bathed in the dim light, as if they were being held down by a cone. After getting instructions from her boyfriend, Diana said this to the guard at the door.
"Wonder Woman? Oh my God, welcome to you, God, it's such an honor to see you." There are more than a dozen night security guards in the concierge, but the oldest security captain among them is actually a fan of Wonder Woman.
When she saw that the person walking towards her in the dark was her, the wrinkled old man showed an excited expression, which made Harry a little worried that he would die on the spot due to a heart attack.
Because under normal circumstances, Harley would not kill the elderly or children. She also has a so-called moral bottom line. Of course, this bottom line is also flexible. If she is particularly happy or unhappy, she will do anything without any taboos.
"Thank you for your welcome and support for the Justice League." The person was so enthusiastic that Diana could only show a business smile, shake hands with the other person and sign an autograph, then pointed to the teammates outside the steel gate: "So we can go in now.
What?"
"Of course, Wonder Woman, but can you please write one more sentence?" The old man handed back the signed book a little shyly, and waved his hand to his men to open the door and let everyone in: "Please write 'Send'
To lovely Henry, you are the most beautiful boy. Yes, Henry is my name. I was your fan sixty years ago when I was just five years old! I have watched thousands of videos of you during World War II.
All over!"
The other security guards were suppressing their laughter in pain, but Su Ming could feel Diana's back stiffen for a moment. Under the warm light of the guard room, it looked very desolate for a moment, but she still said in a gentle voice:
"Thank you for once again reminding me how old I am this year. Okay, I've signed it for you. Can you go in now?"
"Hehe, that security guard should actually be studied in the wall. He definitely has mental problems. It is initially judged that he has an antisocial personality."
The group of people entered the gate smoothly and got a map of the hospital. Harley was chewing bubble gum and chatting with Diana:
"There are many people who like you, Xiao Dai, but after watching the battlefield records of World War II so many times, it proves that he likes to watch the scenes of you killing people. This kind of hobby is really incredible, especially when he started watching killings when he was only five years old.
.”
Diana quickened her pace, her face not very pretty. She didn't want to recall her participation in World War I and World War II. It was a human civil war after all, and she didn't want her age to be mentioned all the time in front of her boyfriend.
But Su Ming caught up to what Harley said. He raised his hand to hold the little jelly bean in his arms, led him forward, and said at the same time:
"You're right. In fact, those security guards are all mentally ill, but they are patients with mild symptoms and the ability to act on their own. So they are both employees and customers here. If they change shifts after dawn,
We might still see them in the courtyard."
It's not uncommon for patients to take care of patients, but in most places, docile patients come to help the nurses. I'm afraid this is the only one where mentally ill patients are actually used as security guards and even distribute weapons to them.
"Well, so that's it? I've long heard that Ellsworth Memorial Hospital mainly observes the living conditions of patients, which is a bit interesting." Harley showed an interested expression, and her eyes rolled wildly: "I found out again.
It’s a good place. When I’m on vacation next time, Xiaohong and I won’t go to the botanical garden. It’s fun to observe patients here.”
"As long as you are happy, but there are no high-risk lunatics here, so the depth of research may not be as deep as Arkham."
Su Ming took a look at the map distribution map, and then opened the door of the villa:
"The person we are looking for should live on the second floor, but except for the fact that the patients here cannot go to the office area on the south side of the first floor, they are relatively free at other times, so we need to pay attention to a young black man, about twenty-five this year.
He looks about 10 years old, has swollen cheeks, and looks like he has a big head and a thick neck."
After hearing this description, Kara immediately activated her super vision, trying to penetrate the floor to find someone.
Unfortunately, Ellsworth Memorial Hospital is a metropolitan mental hospital, and some of the experiments there may seem a bit inhumane to ordinary people.
Not much, just a little bit. After all, it is to allow mentally ill people to form a small society by themselves and observe their reactions. Some things are actually quite dark, but at least they are much better than the St. Elizabeth Mental Hospital in Washington.
Despite this, in the past, in order to prevent Superman from seeing through the internal situation here, with the funding and guidance of Mr. Luthor, the walls and floors of the entire building were additionally reinforced. She didn't know how many layers of lead sheets were added.
Peeping in vain.
Supergirl frowned. This was the first time she encountered such a damn building.
"I can't see through the floors here, so I have to use stupid methods to find people."
"It's okay, let's go ask the patients here and we'll find out." Harley reached out and patted her red skirt, then took out a small makeup mirror to apply lipstick on herself, and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose with her fingers.
: "When dealing with little cuties, let me be the expert. Follow me, hehe."
