Chapter 68 Reverse Anton Syndrome

"I... I'm fine?" Miss Bai raised her hand and touched her eyes, her tone full of doubt.

"Cousin, can you see me?" Miss Hua leaned over and squatted in front of her.

Miss Bai tapped her nose and said, "I can see it clearly. You are even more beautiful than I imagined."

After saying that, she couldn't wait to get up and walked around the door: "I see it, I can see it!"

She was eager to announce the good news to everyone and ran out of the yard.

Mrs. Bai was happy to see her daughter's excitement, but she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

How did my daughter suddenly regain her sight?

The next moment, Minister Bai bowed solemnly towards Lin Zhiqing and said, "Mr. Lin, I was presumptuous just now. I hope you don't mind."

Lin Zhiqing leaned to the side, avoiding the salute: "Your Excellency, Minister, you are too kind. Now that Miss Bai is well, my trip is not in vain."

"Did you cure Ling'er?" Mrs. Bai looked surprised.

"That's right. Miss Lin came to me early this morning and said she had a way to cure my cousin. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect her to actually do it." Miss Hua patted her chest in fear and said, "Miss Lin, thank you so much."

"But...but we have searched for famous doctors all these years, but all we got was that they couldn't cure it. How did you do it?" Mrs. Bai was still confused.

Of course, she was not the only one who was curious about this question. Minister Bai and Miss Hua were also staring at Lin Zhiqing closely.

Lin Zhiqing pondered for a long time and didn't know how to explain it.

Miss Bai's condition, in her previous world, was called Reverse Anton Syndrome.

The so-called Anton syndrome refers to the situation in which the brain of a completely blind person produces false visual images based on the auditory, visual, tactile and other information he has been exposed to, making him think that he can still see.

Of course, such cases are rare.

As a psychological counselor, when Lin Zhiqing encounters such patients, he does not deliberately make them realize the fact that they are blind.

Even if it is false light, it is always better than real despair.

However, Miss Bai's situation is exactly the opposite of Anton syndrome - because of the stimulation she received in the past, she has always disbelieved that her eyes can see.

This strong psychological suggestion paralyzed her own brain, and the brain transmitted the information to the visual control area, which could only choose to temporarily sleep.

The purpose of Lin Zhiqing's actions today is to awaken the visual control area in Miss Bai's brain, but this is extremely difficult.

Because Miss Bai and the people around her treated her as a real blind person.

The care of maids and guards, the dark room and the tightly wrapped tables and chairs.

These overprotective behaviors constantly remind Miss Bai that she is blind. This has become a deep-rooted idea engraved in her mind and is difficult to change.

Lin Zhiqing originally just wanted to test first to see Miss Bai's basic situation.

However, the sudden appearance of Minister Bai caused Miss Bai's emotions to fluctuate drastically.

In addition, Lin Zhiqing's verbal hints from time to time, when her emotions reached a peak, her cerebral cortex was stimulated and the information was transmitted to her visual area.

So, her visual area stopped dormancy and started working again.

Lin Zhiqing couldn't explain all of this professional stuff, so she could only explain the general idea in plain language. Miss Hua opened her mouth slightly, a look of surprise on her face: "To think there's such a strange disease in the world? I've never heard of anything like it happening in Bianliang."

Of course, there are many similar strange diseases in the world, but in this world's cognition, diseases all come from the body.

They don't have the concept of mental illness in their minds.

Lin Zhiqing thought for a moment and looked at Minister Bai and his wife. "Mr. Minister, Madam, the reason why Miss Bai believes she is blind is inseparable from the psychological suggestion you have been giving her all the time."

After Lin Zhiqing's explanation, both of them understood the meaning of "psychological suggestion". While they were wondering how psychological suggestion could actually cause people to become sick, they felt more guilty.

"I heard that Miss Lin was going to open a clinic. I thought you were just as wild-minded as Miss Lu. I didn't expect that the diseases you treat are completely different from ordinary diseases." When Mrs. Bai said this, her ears turned slightly red and she was quite ashamed.

"Nan Yue has a sense of righteousness. Madam will know it once she understands it. There is no difference between me and her." Lin Zhiqing didn't like this kind of meaningless drag.

Mrs. Bai knew she had said the wrong thing and laughed awkwardly, "Miss Lin is right. I'll have someone make a plaque for you someday. It won't be as prestigious as the one for the old lady of the Scholar's Mansion, but it's still a thoughtful gesture."

"Then I would like to thank you in advance, Madam." Lin Zhiqing nodded slightly.

As the saying goes, three women make one play.

In this world without mobile phones or the internet, the favorite thing for these pampered ladies to do is to get together and gossip and exchange housekeeping tips.

Previously, Miss Hua's skin hunger disease was relatively secretive. For the sake of her daughter's reputation, no one would spread the news even if she was cured.

But Miss Bai’s situation is different. A blind person can suddenly see, which is a big hit no matter where she is.

Lin Zhiqing believed that the Bai family would publicize this news widely, which would also be a good opportunity to advertise himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing looked at Minister Bai and bowed: "Your Excellency, I have a favor to ask of you."

Minister Bai was taken aback. His eyes, which had been filled with gratitude just now, suddenly became more scrutinizing. His tone also became colder: "Miss Lin, you know that I am an official appointed by the court. Many things are beyond my control."

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Miss Hua coughed twice and said, "Uncle, Miss Lin has done me a favor, and now she has done me a favor as well."

Minister Bai frowned. He didn't like people who took advantage of others to repay a favor.

His reaction was within Lin Zhiqing's expectations. After all, Lin Zhiqing's father's identity was too sensitive, and ordinary people would not dare to get involved.

"I've been looking for a shop to open a clinic for the past few days, but I don't know if I offended anyone at the Spring Banquet a few days ago, so no one is willing to rent a shop to me." Lin Zhiqing's simple words revealed a lot of information.

As everyone knows, she offended Princess Pingning at the Spring Banquet.

Even if Minister Bai didn't know, Madam Bai was present that day and knew everything clearly.

Secondly, Lin Zhiqing did not make any direct demands, but simply told his predicament, so as not to give Minister Bai the opportunity to think that he was asking for more.

At the same time, it also made Minister Bai believe that the initiative was still in his hands.

After all, Minister Bai has been an official in the court for so many years, there is no way he wouldn't understand this.

He originally thought that Lin Zhiqing would take the opportunity to make excessive demands, but if it was just a shop, it would be very easy to solve.

"There are a lot of shops in the East Market. I'll keep an eye out." He didn't finish his words.

Lin Zhiqing nodded, then asked another question: "Minister Bai, I'd like to know what conditions are required to get the sealed shop back?"
