Live broadcast: I am an upright Chinese medicine practitioner, and all my patients died online

"What you're talking about is actually mental illness, and there's no specific scientific name for it. If you have to say it, then in Chinese medicine, it's called being possessed by evil spirits."

When they heard the word "possessed", the expressions of the two women changed immediately.

"Possessed by evil spirits? Possessed by evil spirits is a disease. Isn't it being possessed by some dirty thing?"

Qin Jiang smiled and said, "I don't know whether there are ghosts in this world. I only know that when people in the past encountered things that science couldn't explain, they would feel awe and think that these things were unscientific and that there must be something at work."

"This is the origin of superstition and religion in the earliest times. Because people have no way to explain some things, they will start to use their imagination to try to give a reasonable explanation."

"These imaginations are undoubtedly very beautiful and romantic, but imagination is imagination after all, not reality."

Qin Jiang pointed to his head and said, "When something bad enters our body, our brain will be the first to sense it. But the brain is a very rational organ. If it encounters something it cannot understand, it may issue wrong instructions."

"Just like those hallucinations you saw before."

After Qin Jiang said this, the netizens in the live broadcast room immediately understood.

"I agree with what Dr. Qin said. I think there are no ghosts in this world. All ghosts are just made up by people."

"That's not what Doctor Qin wanted to express, right? What Doctor Qin said was that he didn't know whether there were ghosts in this world, but he knew that there were many so-called superstitions and religions in this world, which were actually created by imagination."

"I've never experienced this before. Can anyone tell me what it's like to have hallucinations? Is it real?"

"Hallucinations are of course real. Otherwise, you can search what phantom limb pain is and you will know. The most important thing is that all your feelings and cognitions of this world actually come from your five senses. So the question is, how do you know that everything you see and experience now is not an illusion, but real?"

Netizens were just having a casual discussion, but it quickly turned into a philosophical topic.

Zhao Li and Zhang Xuan are both Qin Jiang's patients. As a doctor, he has the obligation to help them figure out what's wrong with them.

So Qin Jiang patiently explained: "To put it simply, the place you went to was quite gloomy, so you were actually very scared from the beginning."

"Before you started playing with the Ouija board, someone must have given you psychological hints, such as someone had died in this unfinished building. This way, an image of your imagination would be implanted in your subconscious mind. Then, when you were mentally vulnerable, this image would appear and become the illusion you saw."

Seeing that the two women seemed unconvinced, Qin Jiang continued, "The most direct evidence is that you all saw a female ghost in white clothes, right?"

The two women nodded repeatedly.

"Then the question is, why is that female ghost wearing white clothes? Why can't she be wearing clothes of other colors?"

"Is she still disheveled and barefoot? Then the question arises again, why is the image of this female ghost so similar to the female ghosts in the movies and TV shows we watch every day?"

"Do you think this is a coincidence or something else?"

The two women were stunned by the question, but the netizens in the live broadcast room understood it.

"I understand. Doctor Qin wants to tell us that there are no ghosts in this world. The reason why we encounter ghosts is actually an illusion given by the brain, so we see those unclean things!" "Yes, I have been wondering about this since I was very young. Why do people look like this after they die? It was not until now that I realized that these are actually things engraved in our bones and belong to our culture."

"From a realistic perspective, this can indeed be proved. If there are really so many ghosts in this world, with technology so advanced and everyone having a mobile phone, wouldn't it be possible to capture ghosts? As a result, even though technology has developed to this point, the so-called supernatural videos we see on the Internet are all blurry, as if there are a group of people walking around with old-fashioned cameras every day."

Qin Jiang seemed to understand the two women a little bit, and he brought the topic back to the Ouija board.

Qin Jiang pointed at the plate on the table and said, "Didn't you guys use any strength just now?"

The two women nodded repeatedly, indicating that they definitely did not use any force.

Qin Jiang smiled and said, "I know you all think you didn't use enough strength, but in fact this is wrong."

"Now you don't need three people to play together. Just one person is enough. Put your index finger on this plate."

Zhang Xuan was the bravest. She took a deep breath and put it on the plate.

Then Qin Jiang took the plate away while Zhang Xuan was not paying attention.

It turned out that Zhang Xuan's fingers didn't move at all.

Qin Jiang said: "In fact, if we observe the game of Ouija carefully, we can easily find the problem."

"We felt that we didn't use much force, but from the perspective of the index finger touching the plate, if we didn't use much force, the other person's finger would push us away."

"At the beginning, I believe that no one was exerting any force, but when one of you exerted force to reach this balance, your index fingers started to become uncontrollable."

"Because everyone will instinctively push the plate farther away from themselves, so at this time your index finger is actually exerting force, because if you don't use force, your finger should be hovering like just now."

Qin Jiang's explanation was very easy to understand, and the two girls who had been to school understood it immediately.

Indeed, if they are holding something with their hands but not using any force.

The stuff is taken away without any impact on the fingers.

But if your fingers are exerting force from the beginning, then your fingers will continue to move forward while the object is being pulled away.

So Qin Jiang knew about this so-called Ouija trick from the very beginning, but he had to play it with the two women first, restore the situation at that time, and then reveal the secret, so as to eliminate the fear in the hearts of the two women to the greatest extent.

After realizing Qin Jiang's good intentions, netizens in the live broadcast room immediately exclaimed in admiration.

"So this is the treatment for mental illness, so humane!"

"The best way to overcome fear is to face it!" (End of this chapter)
