Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 43 Psychological Shadow Clearing Surgery
  Chen Ke looked at Gu Ran enviously and said to him, "Come on."

Gu Ran hummed and said with a smile: "I will die as hard as possible so as not to embarrass the two of us."

Chen Ke couldn't participate in the operation because he didn't grasp the first dream of [Scene Cartoonist], so he said something self-deprecating in a relaxed tone.

"The consciousness is not bad." Su Qing stretched and stood up, "There are too many disappointments in this world, just because there are too many extravagant hopes that should not be had. Lowering your mind can stabilize your mood."

"You looked down on me so much, didn't you think it would affect my mood?"

"In this age where we only care about ourselves, hitting you can make me emotionally stable and happy. Is there anything wrong with that? Even when I go to work, I always 'face the boss's expectations. Ask yourself less why, and ask your boss more why?'"

He Qingyan obviously agreed with this point of view, and added for Su Qing: "'Refuse to be mentally exhausted, and go crazy if something happens.'"

Of course you can!

A boss's daughter, a really crazy woman.

He Qingyan suddenly poked Gu Ran's waist with her finger: "Xiao Ranran, you are not allowed to say bad things about me in your heart!"

"Hiss!" Gu Ran dodged as if he was electrocuted.

Su Qing smiled and asked him: "Are you ticklish?"

"I'm not afraid." He shook his head blankly.

"Yeah." Su Qing smiled meaningfully.

From that elegant and beautiful face, Gu Ran could only feel terror.

"You are not allowed to bully Gu Ran." He Qingyan hugged Gu Ran like a best friend, "Xiao Ranran, I will protect you!"

Gu Ran wanted to take his hand out, but He Qingyan raised her other hand and breathed a soft "ha--" to her five fingers.

Like a disobedient child who saw his mother bending down to take off her shoes, Gu Ran suddenly became obedient.

Su Qing stepped forward and separated the two people from the middle.

She warned He Qingyan in a calm tone: "You can be as crazy as you want, but please don't affect the emotions of other people in the institute."

He Qingyan confronts Su Qing.

Suddenly, she affirmed: "Su Qing, you are jealous!"

He Qingyan was so excited that she caught the doll she wanted with only one coin.

Gu Ran didn't have the mind to worry about being tickled, and he also forgot that when He Qingyan held her arm, she didn't want to touch some softness.

Chen Ke carefully spied on Su Qing's emotions.

Unfortunately, she mainly studied hypnotherapy, and she only has the ability to perceive the emotions of people lying in bed with high intensity.

The next moment, He Qingyan smiled and said: "Don't be jealous, I will hold your hand too. The two of us are truly good best friends."

She held Amelia Su's hand.

Are you jealous?
  Su Qing lowered her head and glanced: "Let go."

"Then I'll save Gu Ran. This is the first time for him to be emotionally affected by me. I don't know if it will end soon."

Su Qing said nothing and walked out of the office door.

He Qingyan put her arm around her with a smile, and when she passed by, she put her arm around Gu Ran: "The three of us will go together."

Then, she looked at Chen Ke and said, "Keke, come too. Gu Ran, hold her hand."

Chen Ke smiled awkwardly but politely.

"Are you playing house?" Jiang Qi, who was waiting for them at the door, couldn't help laughing when she saw the three of them holding hands.

"Actually, I'm the little matchmaker," He Qingyan said. "I'm colluding a pair of crazy men and resentful women together."

Su Qing took out her hand.

Gu Ran also followed closely behind.

"It doesn't matter." He Qingyan smiled and put her hands behind her back, "I am the red rope for you two. As long as I live, your marriage will not be broken."

Chen Ke's values ​​are different from those of Su Qing and He Qingyan.

For the sake of Su Qing and Gu Ran's emotions, she decided to sacrifice herself.

She took a step forward and asked He Qingyan curiously: "Doctor He, do you have any research on marriage? I just broke up recently."

"Let me help you do the math!" He Qingyan suddenly became interested, "What's your zodiac sign?"

"Well——, I don't know about this. The date of birth is August [-]th."

"Isn't it your birthday in a few days?"

"Right." His tone was uncertain, but it wasn't that he was unsure, he just didn't care.

"What is it? That's it! Xiao Qingqing, Xiao Ranran, you heard me, Xiao Keke has a birthday in a few days, don't forget your birthday gift!"

"No! There's really no need!" Chen Ke tried to save her, but she felt like she was adding insult to injury.

Neither Su Qing nor Gu Ran looked back, but they both heard it.

"August [-]th birthday gift" Gu Ran pondered.

"You are so interested in someone else's breakup?" Su Qing glanced at him as if she looked down on him, "No wonder you got beaten."

"Are you interested?" Gu Ran came back to his senses, "I was thinking, I haven't been paid yet on August [-]th!"

Su Qing found it funny and lowered her voice: "You think Chen Ke was born at the wrong time?"

"It's not the right time!"

"I'll lend you."

"It's not usury, is it?"

"Do you really think my family got rich by opening a mental hospital?"

"Are you admitting it or denying it?"

"Is it difficult to understand what I mean?"

"It's not difficult, but I can't believe it. How about a greeting card as a birthday gift? The card is handwritten by me. It's full of sincerity and priceless!"

When everyone walked out of the housing area, the sun had already fully risen.

The light is bright, like a flashlight pointed at the pupils, illuminating the world without a trace of darkness.

"In a place like this, even if you just walk around, the patient's condition will get better." Gu Ran couldn't help but say.

"That's why I chose natural therapy." Su Qing was also immersed in the sunshine and scenery.

Looking down from the mountainside where {Sea of ​​Tranquility} is located, the trees at the foot of Spring Mountain are lush and green, and in the distance is an ocean like a huge blue gem.

Between the sea and the spring mountains, below is a perfect place for driving - the seaside road, above is the route that must depart every two minutes - the romantic flight path clouds drawn by airplanes.

Keep going forward and you will find the ward area.

This is Gu Ran's first time in the ward.

It is not as spooky as imagined. The two-meter-high palm trees are used as bamboos and are planted wherever there are corners.

The overall structure of the ward is in the shape of a "back", with a large patio-like atrium lawn in the middle.

When the weather is nice, patients can take a walk on the lawn accompanied by a nurse.

The ward has three floors and eighteen wards. Three sides of the word "Hui" are wards, each of the three sides has two wards, and the fourth side is the nurse's desk and treatment room.

Jiang Qi introduced the situation here to Gu Ran, Chen Ke and He Qingyan.

“There are a total of seven patients in the ward now. It’s not that all of these patients have reached the stage of surgery. There are also a few who have other reasons.

“There are also reasons such as long-term emotional instability, severe symptom interference, cognitive ability or intellectual deficiencies, etc.

"For example, the patient in Room 101 has to be waited on when she poops or urinates. If you don't wait on her, she will eat the shit back."

Of course they had learned about these symptoms, but this was the first time they had come into contact with a real patient.

Compared with the ward area, the housing area is simply a place where normal people stay.

"The nurses here must be very hardworking." Chen Ke couldn't help but said.

"Nurses are okay. Most of the people who handle health care are elderly caregivers who either can't find a job, or they used to be aunties who took care of dying elderly people in every household." Jiang Qi said, "Their wages and benefits are also better. Teacher Zhuang Jing invites them to dinner from time to time, and the night shift always orders takeout."

The group entered the elevator.

The ward area only has three floors. It doesn't matter whether doctors and nurses need elevators, but patients do.

Just like a car repair shop, even if it is only two floors, it still needs an elevator as big as a garage.

As if they had not moved, as if they had just entered and exited, the elevator had reached the second floor and they were walking towards the operating room.

The operating room is divided into two small rooms, one is the operating room and the other is the observation room, separated by transparent glass.

Zhuang Jing, Tong Ling, Wei Hong and others were in the observation room at this time.

Everyone walked into the observation room, and Gu Ran glanced at the operating room opposite. Three nurses were preparing to test a series of instruments for monitoring vital signs.

There are a total of seven beds in the operation, and the seven beds are exactly arranged in a circle, with enough space left in the center of the circle, as if there is an invisible bed there.

"Chen Ke also get a medical record." Zhuang Jing ordered.

The unfamiliar ward nurse distributed medical records to everyone.

When giving it to Gu Ran, look at him one more time.

This is not a detailed medical record, just some simple situations.

[Lv Lu is a [-]-year-old female, unmarried, and her family members include her grandfather, grandmother, and father. 】

[Transferred to the outpatient department of Haicheng Hospital, clinically diagnosed as schizophrenia. 】

[The first onset of the disease was around the age of eighteen, with delusions of persecution, agitation, self-talk, auditory hallucinations, and eating disorders. 】

[He was successively followed up in the psychiatric department of Haicheng Hospital, the Institute of Applied Psychology, and Beicheng University First Steel Hospital for inpatient and outpatient follow-up treatment, and his medication compliance was low. 】

[On March 2023, 3, his condition worsened. He was very easily agitated, often talking to himself, accompanied by auditory hallucinations, and had a very poor sleep at night. He cursed his family and attacked his relatives. His mood could only be stable when he was eating sheets. 】

[Transferred to our institute from Haicheng Hospital, after five months of observation and evaluation, it was decided to undergo psychological shadow removal surgery. 】

[This operation has been signed by the director of the Haicheng Health Bureau, the president of the Haicheng Psychological Association, the director of the Jinghai Psychological Sanatorium, and the two guardians of the patient.']

"The doctor who is preparing for the operation, please sign." the nurse reminded.

When giving Gu Ran a pen, the female nurse pointed to the 'doctor's signature' in a soft voice and said, "Write your name here."

She was so kind that Gu Ran subconsciously said thank you.

Women are always gentle and enthusiastic towards him, which makes him extremely high-quality. After all, everyone is very nice. How can he be bad-tempered in a world where he can talk well.

Chen Ke watched Gu Ran sign from the side, unable to conceal his envy.

Gu Ran glanced at her proudly and returned the pen and responsibility letter to the nurse.

A nurse came in from outside and reported to Zhuang Jing: "Professor, the patient has fallen asleep."

Zhuang Jing nodded: "Let's get started."

The nurse went out, and the next moment, the patient and bed were pushed into the operating room on the opposite side of the glass.

"Let's go, junior brother, our male doctor's dressing room is on the other side." Wei Hong greeted Gu Ran.

The two entered a small single room.

Wei Hong said: "I don't know what size it is, so I won't help you find it. You can just pick out a suit according to the size and try to be as loose as possible. Don't be too tight and affect your sleep."

"Yeah." Gu Ran responded.

The two changed their clothes and walked into the operating room. The female doctors had not yet arrived.

Gu Ran took a look at the patient on the eighth bed. He looked very pleasing to the eye, and his facial features were dignified. He could be considered picky in a marriage.

"It's a pity," Wei Hong sighed, "It's a pity that I got this mental illness just because of my beauty."

Because it's beautiful? "Wei Hong." Zhuang Jing's cold voice came from the observation room.

Wei Hong trembled twice and did not dare to speak anymore.

A nurse helped the two people attach various instruments, mainly to their brains and wrists. It was not as exaggerated as in "The Matrix", where a huge tube was inserted into the mouth and the back of the head.

The female nurse who helped Gu Ran apply the instruments stared at Gu Ran's face several times.

"Gulu!" She couldn't hold it back and swallowed, her voice clearly audible.

Wei Hong immediately whistled.

Everyone in the observation room laughed.

Zhuang Jing didn't say anything. She knew that Wei Hong was being careless, but this carelessness could lighten the atmosphere and keep the doctor in a happy mood.

After taking a look, the nurses in the observation room were a little eager to try, and even wanted to see Gu Ran's body.

But Gu Ran didn't have the legendary six-pack abs. He just had a better posture, more symmetrical muscles, and a slightly slimmer waist.

The female doctors walked in swarm, and Gu Ran couldn't help but stare.

Especially Su Qing and He Qingyan, they are exquisite, elegant, romantic and beautiful. Even if they are wearing loose surgical clothes, they still can't hide their temperament.

When passing by Gu Ran, He Qingyan patted his shoulder affectionately.

There are seven beds, two men and four women. There is one bed between Wei Hong and Jiang Qi, and Gu Ran and Su Qing are close to each other.

Before Wei Hong lay down, he looked over Jiang Qi at Tong Ling a little pitifully.

Su Qing said to Gu Ran: "Does it look like Qiao Yiming and Chen Ke?"

Gu Ran looked at the glass. It was one-way glass. He couldn't see the other side, but he knew that the other side was looking at them.

"No comment." He lay down.

Although the two of them whispered, the observation room monitored any movement in the operating room, so of course Chen Ke heard their conversation.

Zhuang Jing smiled and explained to her: "Su Qing has no ill intentions."

"She told me last night," Chen Ke laughed, "that she would say this at this time in order to relieve Gu Ran's nervousness."

Obviously, this scene of Wei Hong looking at Tong Ling has happened not once or twice in the operating room.

Zhuang Jing took the microphone from the head nurse and said to the operating room in person: "Report the situation."

"Preparations are complete." Captain Tong Ling replied.

"Now repeat operating room rules."

"First, prohibit dream body superpowers;"

"Second, it is forbidden to leave the psychological shadow and pry into the patient's privacy;"

“Third, it is prohibited to stay where you are;”

"Fourth, you must obey the captain's orders;"

"Fifth, when there is level [-] fear, level [-] tension, or level [-] worry, even if the dream body is not damaged, you must actively exit the psychological shadow."

It was a rule that could not be broken, but Zhuang Jing's voice was soft and quiet, like a lullaby.

When the five surgical rules were finished, six doctors including Gu Ran, Su Qing, and He Qingyan had already fallen asleep.

Chen Ke clenched his hands excitedly, and Zhuang Jing showed the ability of a top psychological counselor. He could easily hypnotize other psychological counselors with just a few words.

Among them, except Gu Ran, the other five are all people who have built up [heart walls] and are determined.

As a researcher of hypnotherapy, she saw the scene in front of her, like a robber seeing a cash transport truck, a Buddhist seeing Tathagata Buddha, a hungry person remembering that there were instant noodles at home in the middle of the night, and waking up refreshed in the morning to find that he was already two hours late.

In short, she really wants to do something now.

But there was nothing she could do.

The brain wave curves were stable on the instruments of one patient and six doctors.

◇

Gu Ran was falling.

He fell into an abyss composed of countless irregular shapes.

He was so dizzy that he wanted to vomit, the weightlessness of his body made his heart beat faster, and the unknown brought great panic.

A hand grasped his wrist firmly.

"Calm down." Su Qing's elegant and melodious voice came, "Don't let reality dominate your dreams."

Gu Ran tried his best to open his eyes and saw Su Qing falling with him, and had a strange feeling of "she caught him on the edge of the cliff".

He took a deep breath and concentrated his thoughts.

The feeling of falling disappears.

Gu Ran opened his eyes.

Su Qing, who was wearing a white coat, stood beside him and grabbed him with one hand.

"Huh!" Gu Ran exhaled the breath in his lungs and expelled the huge panic.

The dream body still felt slightly uncomfortable, as if it had just gotten off the boat, and there was still a feeling of falling into the abyss.

"Tell me a joke to lighten the mood." Su Qing said with a smile.

Gu Ran smiled bitterly: "Spare me, I was tortured by Liu Xiaoting in reality, and I will be tortured by you in my dream."

Su Qing didn't insist, or in other words, she was just telling a joke.

She let go of Gu Ran, turned slightly sideways, and whispered to Gu Ran: "Look, this is a psychological shadow."

Gu Ran looked around, and saw heavy darkness covering the world like a veil, endless grass, and the pale moonlight illuminated a dirt path beneath his feet.

Several other people were also around.

Tong Ling is wearing mountaineering clothes, like a female college student going mountain climbing;

Wei Hong is strong and strong, looking like an ancient general, which does not match his modern temperament;
  Jiang Qi was wearing a cat-woman or Spider-Man-like tights. I had never noticed that her breasts were so big and her figure was so good before;
  He Qingyan was dressed in a black gothic suit, with a noble umbrella-shaped skirt and beautiful lace edges. Her hands were as white as jade, holding a black umbrella.

He looked at himself again, wearing a T-shirt and casual pants.

He raised his head and asked, "Are you cosplaying?"

"I am here to facilitate movement." Mountaineer Tong Ling explained.

"Me too." Catwoman Jiang Qi said.

"Although the armor is useless, it can give me a sense of security. Safety is better than anything else. It can stabilize the dream body. Junior brother, I also recommend that you change your profession to a heavy-armored knight and fight with me." Wei Hong said.

"No, thank you." Gu Ran quickly refused.

He looked at He Qingyan: "You——"

"It looks good." He Qingyan held up the hem of her skirt and turned it half a circle.

It's really good-looking, with a strange and beautiful feeling.

Gu Ran thought about it and put on a white coat like Su Qing.

"Oh~, couple costumes!" Jiang Qi shouted.

"The white coat is my heavy armor!" Gu Ran said.

"Junior brother," Chongkai Wei Hong said, "You are idealistic. Be more pragmatic. I am Chongkai."

Dreams speak of idealism.
  After some jokes, Gu Ran's mood calmed down and his dream body became stable.

Tong Ling glanced at him and saw that there was no more dream smoke floating on his body and that he was out of danger of disintegrating and waking up. She immediately said: "Let's start exploring the path. Don't stay in the same place for a long time."

The crowd nodded.

Gu Ran was also very serious.

He naturally has basic common sense. If he stays in the same place for a long time, he will either be attacked by monsters or fall into the dreamy abyss like he just did.

Wei Hong walked in the front, followed by Jiang Qi.

Then came Tong Ling, Su Qing, He Qingyan, and Gu Ran.

Gu Ran, the weakest, not only did not stand in the middle to be protected, but was placed in the rear. If anything happened, he had to run away by himself. If he couldn't run, he would die.

The deep night seemed like a real black gauze, gently fluttering in the air, and Gu Ran even felt the gauze rubbing against his body.

It's not like being in the wilderness, it's like being on a stage shrouded in black curtains.

A group of people were walking on the mud path, and Tong Ling said, "Junior brother Gu, it's up to you."

"it is good!"

Gu Ran visualized the iceberg, and he was very lucky. He succeeded in one attempt, and he grabbed the [Cranked Staff] out of nothingness.

I thought silently in my mind: "Where is the nightmare that caused the psychological shadow?"

He let go of the [Cranked Staff].

[Cranked Shepherd's Staff] fell down and pointed to the east. There was no mud path there, it was all grass.

Tong Ling did not hesitate and said to Wei Hong: "Senior Brother Wei Hong, lead the way."

"Yeah." Wei Hong said solemnly.

He makes a movement against a heavy object.

The space twisted in his hands, and an ancient lamppost appeared on his shoulder.

"Does it look like a telephone pole?" Su Qing smiled at Gu Ran.

He Qingyan, the one between the two, playfully blocked her with an umbrella, as if Su Qing was the rain and she and Gu Ran were hiding from it.

"Don't say it looks like it!" Wei Hong said loudly, "This is an ancient style telegraph pole!"

Gu Ran smiled, knowing that both of them were trying to lighten the mood.

He Qingyan in front of him looked like a young lady out for an outing with her entourage, her posture was elegant and calm.

Wei Hong headed east, leaving the mud path and stepping into the grass.

Tong Ling and Jiang Qi followed closely behind.

Just when Su Qing was about to follow, there was a sudden buzz.

Because the buzzing sound was so familiar, Gu Ran subconsciously took out his phone from his pocket, and he actually took it out.

[My computer: Don’t enter the grass]

Gu Ran didn't have time to think too much, he passed He Qingyan and grabbed Su Qing's wrist.

"Don't go in yet!" he shouted.
