Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 310: The Crashed Tianyuan

After lunch, Gu Ran still went to Yan Hanxiang's office.

"Auntie Xiang, was the perfume from yesterday useful? Did I dream about the owner of the perfume?" Gu Ran asked.

"Who did you dream about?" Yan Hanxiang looked clueless.

Gu Ran's lips parted, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed to say it directly, so he said tactfully: "I dreamed about He Qingyan's mother."

"I'm dying!" Yan Hanxiang was ashamed and angry, "Don't ever mention Qingyan in this situation again!"

"I regretted it after I said it." Gu Ran was embarrassed, but her reaction made him unable to help but smile knowingly.

"One bottle working doesn't prove anything. Take another bottle today, and come back in two days to get two more bottles. If one of them works, it proves that there is some effect."

"And without knowing who the perfume's owner is?"

"Of course." Yan Hanxiang nodded, "Choose for yourself."

This time, Gu Ran deliberately did not choose his second favorite perfume. He wanted to choose the one he disliked the most. If he could still dream about it, it would prove that the perfume was indeed effective.

But it is hard to choose the perfume he dislikes the most. He likes them all. Who can choose between a mother and a daughter who dislikes one?
In the end I just picked one at random.

Su Qing had piano class in the afternoon. When she played the piano, there seemed to be an electric current in the activity hall on the first floor of the sanatorium building.

Everyone had the wonderful feeling that the hairs on their bodies stood up as if they were electrocuted, and it was not an exaggeration at all.

The doctors and nurses were able to restrain themselves, but the patients' reactions varied. Some looked terrified, while others listened attentively with almost insatiable expressions.

After the song was over, the audience couldn't help but applaud.

Li Xiaoye whispered: "Devil, it's the devil."

No, it’s a witch——Gu Ran corrected himself silently in his heart.

"Find someone downstairs to play the guitar." Su Qing looked at everyone.

The audience who had admired her just now immediately avoided her sight, as if the English teacher who was preparing for dictation in the class had a sudden idea and was about to ask a student to write on the blackboard.

No, it would seem like everyone knows it, but just doesn’t want to go on stage.

The cold-hearted math teacher walked into the classroom with the test paper, threw it on the desk, said "What did you get in the test this time", and then looked at the students.

Students avoiding the math teacher's gaze was the way everyone avoided Su Qing at this moment.

"Tang Ying." Su Qing said.

Although there was no sound, the atmosphere gave people a feeling that many people were relieved.

"I, I can't see." Tang Ying said.

"A Bing, the author of "Erquan Yingyue", is a real blind man," said Su Qing.

"I-I'm short and can't reach the piano keys."

“I started playing piano in elementary school.”

"Doctor Su, you might have been taller than me when you were in elementary school."

"Sister An Yao is almost taller than you, how could Doctor Su Qing be taller than you!" Gege said.

Gu Ran felt a headache.

But An Yao doesn't really like the fact that she's tall. It's not to the extent that it affects her mentality, so it's not good to ask everyone not to mention it.

In fact, not mentioning it is not a solution. Most of the time, avoiding it is both shameful and useless.

"Since Tang Ying doesn't want to, please come up, Gege," said Su Qing.

"You go. No, you go, you go! Doctor Su Qing, I am Xu Tian, ​​and Xu Butian has escaped." Gege looked at Su Qing with clear eyes.

"You two can be one person or two people, but no matter how many people there are, you two are together. Come up." Su Qing said.

"Okay." The princess wasn't reluctant at all, but rather curious.

When learning the piano, she was sometimes curious and her level was extremely low; sometimes she was disgusted and her level was just okay.

"Xu Butian, you play better than Xu Tian." Xie Xiya was slightly surprised.

"I play music games." Xu Butian was not happy at all.

"But it's a good thing that neither of you took up piano as a hobby, otherwise you would have split up even earlier." Xie Xiya commented.

"How do you know we didn't learn it? We learned it and then were persuaded to quit."

Su Qing didn’t know what to say. After all the training, his level was still this high?
The way Xie Xiya looked at Gege was as if Gege's pants suddenly fell off on the way to the podium, and she tripped over her pants and fell to the ground.

After the course, Gu Ran found An Yao.

"An Yao, how about you go to class tomorrow?" he suggested.

"Me? What can I teach?" An Yao asked.

"Organize a model show?"

"Fashion show in a mental hospital?" An Yao laughed.

Most people thought it was funny, and some even laughed at it a little, but it was okay because she herself lived in a mental hospital.

It’s okay for locals to laugh at locals.

"Have fun." Gu Ran said casually, saying something that would kill him if Su Qing and the head nurse knew about it. "Either you take them to the gym, or you better keep exercising yourself."

"I was wondering if my problem was that I was too exhausted from work, and I was thinking of taking this opportunity to relax, but doctor, you suggested that I hold a fashion show and lead everyone in fitness?"

"Have you climbed Mount Huangshan?" Gu Ran suddenly asked.

"Huangshan?" An Yao was puzzled.

It’s not that I don’t understand Huangshan, but I don’t understand why Huangshan was suddenly mentioned.

“No,” she said.

"It's okay. I haven't had it either, but I've seen other people's travel vlogs." Gu Ran said, "The porters in the videos don't put their loads on the ground even when they're resting. They have to put down all the heavy loads they carry when they rest, and it's painful every time they pick them up again."

"Doctor, why are you thinking about these things while watching travel vlogs? Your life is too boring." An Yao said.

"Sorry, I watch vlogs to observe the tourists and analyze their mental states on the road, which ones are angry with each other, which ones are happy, and which ones are bored."

"There are such dark creatures in the world." An Yao hugged her arms, feeling terrified.

You guys, she was not joking, she sincerely thought that Gu Ran watching vlogs and analyzing tourists' moods was a shady behavior.

Gu Ran also reflected on it for a moment.

Most people may not care, but for An Yao, who often appears on camera, she might really feel chilled by his behavior.

"Anyway," Gu Ran changed the subject as if he was punching a hole in a torn Sprite, "I suggest you don't give up your work completely. Even if your illness is caused by your work, running away is not a solution. Without a job, people will get more serious illnesses."

"Poverty disease?"

"I'm a psychiatrist, don't talk to me about such practical topics."

An Yao could understand why there was that kind of atmosphere between Gege and Gu Ran. Doctor Gu had an ability that could make the other person want to talk more.

It was as if I suddenly became smarter.

Dark and yet so powerful, mental hospitals are terrifying.

"What do you think?" Gu Ran asked her.

"You stay away from me."

".What did you say?"

"No, I mean, I'll stick to the bare minimum."

An Yao felt that she liked Gu Ran a little bit. She had raised spiders in elementary school, raised rhinoceros beetles from pupae in junior high school, and now had a chameleon at home.

But no matter whether it is a spider, a rhinoceros beetle, or a chameleon, no matter how long you keep it, it will not have the same relationship with humans as dogs and humans. "Your girlfriend is very beautiful." An Yao sighed.

Gu Ran looked at her deeply. He couldn't pretend he didn't hear these words coming from her, who had slept with the female singer.

He heaved a sigh of relief only after using [Mind Reading] to confirm that An Yao only liked him and not Su Qing.

As for the fact that An Yao likes him?

{Jinghai} Is there anyone else who doesn't like him? He didn't want to say it, otherwise {Jinghai} wouldn't have enough wards.

At night, after finishing writing his diary, Gu Ran opened the perfume decorated with orange stars and fell asleep.

The road is straight as a hair.

There are pebbles on both sides of the road, some as big as heads and some as big as fists. No matter how big or small, they are all as hard as iron. This is the Gobi Desert.

At the end of the Gobi Desert is a group of majestic mountains that are so far away that they seem almost unreal, enclosing the world.

This is the Mythical Highway.

The perfume failed.

Gu Ran raised his hand and held the [Curved Shepherd's Crooked Staff] in his hand. As he confirmed the direction, a black dot descended from the sky.

The black dragon rose from the ground and drove at high speed along the road.

Before finding Hera, he saw a leopard chasing a white fox on the way.

If it were in the wild, Gu Ran would respect natural selection, but this was the [Myth Highway], and the one being hunted was most likely a god.

"Help!" the white fox shouted.

Teacher Zhuang Jing said that Wang Fu of the Han Dynasty once said: 'Listen to both sides and you will be enlightened, listen to only one side and you will be in the dark.' If you only listen to the voice of the goddess Hera, you will inevitably suffer losses. More gods means more insurance.

With this in mind, the black dragon landed.

The white fox hurriedly ran behind the black dragon.

The leopard stared at the black dragon for a few seconds, then turned and left, like a summer mirage, suddenly twisting and deforming, and finally disappearing in the boiling air.

Gu Ran did not kill the leopard because, up to now, he was still unsure who was the enemy and who was the friend.

He did not cancel his black dragon transformation, but just turned around and looked down at the white fox.

The white fox disappeared, and in front of him was a Japanese woman with ghostly makeup, wearing a gorgeous kimono and two big fox ears.

"I am Tamamonomae, thank you, sir." The Japanese woman got down from her seat.

There are gods other than Western gods on the Mythology Highway? But we must confirm that this is the Black Dragon Dream.

"As a thank you, please tell me how to dream whenever I want." Black Dragon was very polite.

Tamamonomae raised her head and looked up at the tall body of the black dragon that was like a small building.

"My lord, I don't know how to make me dream whenever I want, but I know a more fundamental way, which can make your dream become your own paradise." said Tamamonomae.

"Same excuse as Hera." said the Black Dragon.

"Sir, I will tell you directly everything I know, and I only ask you to protect me."

"Don't talk about shelter. If you do me a favor, I will naturally repay you."

Tamamonomae bowed his head again, then revealed a look of shock as he recalled the past, and said, “Sir, after Amahara crashed in reality, the projection of Amahara in the dream also fell into the abyss, and now it is so far away that it has completely cut off contact with us.

“And these Yin gods are the ones who crawled out from the abyss and want to drag all of us into the abyss.

"If you can raise Amahara again from the abyss, my lord, you will have complete control over the Amahara Dream and be able to enter and exit the Amahara realm freely. Even if you die in your earthly body, you will be able to live forever in the Dream."

"Abyss? Does it mean the lost faith in reality?" asked the Black Dragon.

To re-exalt Amahara would probably mean establishing a religion and making the world - or just the Japanese - believe in myths again.

"This is one way, but there is another way for you, my Lord." Tamamonomae said, "You are the trinity of 'man, yin spirit, and subconscious'. You can actually grab Tianyuan in your dream and hold it high."

"Where is the abyss in the dream?" Gu Ran asked.

Tamamonomae fell to the ground, "Only some of the Yin Gods know that they can freely travel between the abyss and the middle layer of dreams."

"Middle level?"

"That is the realm we are in now. The upper layer has collapsed and fallen into the abyss. There, all sanity will fall into a deep sleep and all divine fires will be extinguished."

"What is the Yin Spirit then? Isn't it a psychological disorder of human beings?"

"Partly, it is the 'appetite' of the abyss. The abyss has no consciousness and just devours everything instinctively. Originally, the lower layer was Huangquan, but after the Saint War, Huangquan became an abyss that 'devours the extraordinary'."

The source of everything seems to be the great war between saints that affected the entire universe.

Gu Ran was not interested in this and did not believe it. If he believed it, he would be crazy.

He pondered for a moment and compared the information from Tamamonomae and Hera.

The reason for their fall to their current state is the same, and the purpose is also the same - although one is to make him become God, and the other is to make him exalt the heavens.

If I remember correctly, in Japanese mythology, the realm of gods is called: Takamagahara.

The greatest temptation for Gu Ran is undoubtedly the possibility of eternal life in a dream; the greatest danger is also eternal life in a dream.

Is it eternal life, or is it madness and the inability to wake up forever?
Gu Ran didn't want to become a madman who couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.

Unfortunately, neither Hera nor Tamamonomae knew how to let Gu Ran directly obtain the ability to "dream whatever he wants".

If possible, he can do it step by step, first verifying the truth of the dream by asking "whether you can dream about a black dragon at any time".

The only real aspects of the dream that can be confirmed at present are the [barren grass plain] and the patient's [psychological shadow].

correct.

"Where is the wasteland plain?" Gu Ran asked.

"A barren grass plain?" Tamamonomae was puzzled.

"A plain covered with leg-high weeds. There is no road. The night is like a veil. Occasionally, nightmares - monsters - will appear after parting this black curtain."

"The abyss! That's the abyss!"

The barren grass plain is the abyss?

nonsense.

Apart from the nightmare, Gu Ran did not feel any danger in the [Wild Grass Plain].

After transforming into a black dragon, even nightmares almost lost their threat to him.

"If we can find the crashed Amahara and bring it back here, we can regain a home to live in!" Tamamonomae was still talking nonsense fanatically.

First, it is uncertain whether the dream is true or false;

Secondly, even if the dream was real, what Tamamonomae said might not be true;
Finally, even if both are true, how can a plain be lifted by the power of a black dragon?

《Personal Diary》: Tuesday, October 6, Jinghai
Recently, I have gradually become indifferent to the fact that I am liked by women.

Su Qing is with me because I am handsome, this superficial woman.

Fortunately, I am also a superficial man.

----

"Doctor's Diary":
Today I suggest An Yao not to give up work completely.

Many patients get sick because of work and study, but how is it possible without work and study?

From a practical point of view, there are real studies that prove that people who have both work and leisure are much happier than those who do not work at all and just relax.

Besides, for most people, work is the only way to survive.

(Zhuang Jing's comment: It is cruel, but also very realistic. Helping patients enjoy life while working and studying is one of our responsibilities.)
