The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

She still kept roaring, but it was unclear whether it was anger or madness. It gradually became a bit crying, and then turned into howling.

She cried heartbreakingly, and her battered vocal cords were already overwhelmed. The severity of the sound was completely beyond Lu Lin's understanding of crying.

At this moment, Lu Lin's face was already pale.

He regretted it so much now.

He shouldn't have asked more fucking questions!

What a fucking stupid judgment, what if you ask on a certain day and everything will be fine, it's all just his damn smart guessing.

He doesn't know anything at all, but he can make a fool of himself!

It started because of him, he had to do something.

Is there anything that can be done…

medicine?

No, no, the primary Gray Cloud Mushroom drug is obviously not effective enough.

He needed something stronger.

correct!

There is one!

Lu Lin immediately put his hand into his arms, rummaged through his pocket, and finally found a black stone carved with strange runes.

This thing is called Koroten's evil wizard stone, and it is one of the trump cards that Lu Lin carries with him to save his life.

As long as this thing absorbs the target's blood, it can force the target into a temporary state of unconsciousness.

Among the low-level spell recipes, it can be said to be one of the most powerful controlling evils.

Lu Lin originally planned to use other props to injure the enemy when he encountered danger, then use this thing to control the opponent, and then use other means to kill the enemy.

In this situation, this thing should come in handy.

"The apathy state should at least allow Tanuki to calm down, but I'm afraid the time will be short. By the way, the Gray Cloud Mushroom drug! She should be able to rely on that thing to help her fall asleep during the apathy period!"

Thinking of this, Lu Lin turned his head, scanned the grass beside him, and immediately found the location of the medicine bottle that had been knocked away.

Without any further thought, Lu Lin rushed over immediately and picked up the bottle of poison.

Then he braked and rushed to Numi. Without worrying about the strength of Numi's attack, he flicked open the cork of the drug bottle with one hand, and directly pressed Koroten's evil wizard stone on Numi's forehead with the other hand. On the bleeding wound.

As the purple evil patterns on the wizard stone lit up, Li Mi's movements immediately froze.

Then, Lu Lin used almost no force, and pushed her upper body up with the hand against her forehead.

Just when Lu Lin was about to knock down Li Mi and feed her the drug, Lu Lin was shocked to find that resistance came from his hand again.

At this moment, Liumi was kneeling on the ground with her legs hunched over, her forehead resting on the wizard stone in Lu Lin's hand, her hands hanging naturally, and her eyes staring blankly at the ground diagonally below.

Although it seemed that she was not out of Wu Shi's control, Lu Lin could not make her fall back even a little bit.

"Damn it, the control time is too short, isn't it? No, there's no way she can drink the medicine from this angle..."

that……

There seems to be only one way left.

Lu Lin raised his head and poured the entire bottle of drug into his mouth. Then he lowered his head and kissed Li Mi directly on the lips.

Chapter 31 I’m afraid this disease is not easy to cure...

"Ugh……"

Putting down the ointment jar in his hand, Lu Lin couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Li Mi was already asleep on the bed, and Lu Lin had applied medicine to the wounds on his head. Lu Lin checked it and found that Li Mi’s self-healing ability was amazing. He should sleep after applying medicine to this small injury. Just wake up and you'll be fine.

He touched his lips unconsciously, and the soft touch still remained on his lips.

Of course, Lu Lin was not a pedantic person who cared about details, nor was he a young lady who cared about the innocence of her first kiss. He simply felt a little distracted just thinking about the touch.

But as soon as his thoughts began to wander, Lu Lin gave himself a big mouth.

In the final analysis, it was all because of his own rashness that this matter happened.

Lu Lin couldn't imagine how painful Li Mi was at that time, even if he watched the whole process with his own eyes.

Just that one look at each other, the inexplicable illusion escaping from Li Mi's eyes, was already beyond Lu Lin's understanding.

If you have caused Li Mi to be like this, why do you have the right to write about nonsense here?

Rather than this, the question he should think about more is why Tanuki suddenly had such a big reaction, and how he can prevent this from happening again.

as well as……

Is there any way to help Numi cure her mental illness so that she can return to a normal life?

So far, it has happened three times that Tanuki lost control.

For the first time, she pushed Lu Lin to the ground, but she didn't do anything cruel. The reason was because of Lu Lin's words.

"I seemed to say 'It's okay' or something like that?"

Lu Lin touched his chin.

Obviously, the first time Tanuki lost control was very short. Although he showed aggression, he had no tendency to self-mutilate and retained his ability to think.

The second time was when they fought against the Black Snail Gang.

Lu Lin wasn't even sure if he was out of control that time.

Ok……

Let’s consider it as out of control for now.

The inducement was encountering enemies, but it was obvious that Rumi was still rational at that time. Although he killed all the enemies, he did not attack Lu Lin.

If she really had no thinking ability, it would be absolutely impossible for her to distinguish the target so clearly.

To sum up the common points between these two times...

First, Tanuki was acting aggressive for some reason.

Secondly, Tanuki can quickly control himself and then continue to act based on certain judgments.

"If these two times can be considered the same situation, then the reason why Li Mi attacked me was because my words made her mistake me as an enemy for a while?"

Lu Lin touched his chin and frowned.

Can……

How could he be identified as an enemy by saying "It's all over"?

Wait, no.

Maybe it has something to do with the Holy Religion.

If there was someone around Rumi who would say such things to her, but later turned against her, it was most likely those sanctimonious hypocrites from the Holy Religion.

Or, in the past, for her, hearing such words meant that something bad was about to happen?

"This idea does make sense," Lu Lin rubbed his brows.

From this point of view, the way he treated Noomi with fear at the beginning was completely unnecessary.

Li Mi has never been a dangerous person, and her mental state may not be what Lu Lin imagined, but purely unstable.

Vaguely, Lu Lin felt that he had touched something.

“The third time I lost control, it was completely different from the first two. Instead of showing aggression, I showed great pain, unable to control myself, and tended to self-mutilate, and the self-mutilation tendency was directed at my own head... Oh, damn it. "

Recalling Li Mi's performance, Lu Lin wished he could give himself another big mouth.

But now is not the time to blame yourself. The focus is on how to prevent this from happening again and find out if there is any way to help Tanuki.

"The trigger this time is to ask questions, but based on the performance at the time, the first two questions most likely have nothing to do with losing control..."

Even if there is, it is not the direct cause.

The focus is still on the third question.

What happened the day she broke through that dungeon.

"Is it because something particularly bad happened that day? But why did it happen that day?"

Lu Lin frowned, still unable to understand.

If the incident happened that day, why was it that it took more than 60 days for Li Mi to be discovered outside?

Did something big happen that day?

Or was she suffering from something from that day until she was discovered by him?

No, not right.

Why does it have to be limited to one day?

Could it really be such a coincidence that the day that Lu Lin thought was the most unlikely turned out to be the day that should be least asked?

How low is the probability?

Is it possible that the idea is simply wrong?

What’s important is not the day, but the act of “reminiscing about the past” itself?

When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, if the problem is the act of "remembering the past" itself, then there seems to be a way to explain Rumi's daily behavior.

According to Lu Lin's superficial understanding of a series of mental diseases such as schizophrenia, many of these diseases are actually the result of the patient's body or consciousness protecting itself.

Just like animals that seek shelter in small, dark spaces for a sense of security when they are scared, Tanuki's daily behavior is probably also a form of passive self-protection for her body.

She acted instinctively in everything and was unwilling to say even a single word to others. She was afraid of being awake and would rather sleep 23 hours a day. She was willing to help Lu Lin, no matter what the reason was, but she only helped. She didn't care about anything other than that, and it might not even be about helping. As long as Lu Lin said it, she would obey him. She could even ask Lu Lin to help her take a bath just because of Lu Lin's words, even if she was exposed. care.

There seems to be the same motive behind all these actions.

She didn't want to think.

She was afraid to think.

For some reason, she decided to help Lu Lin, but because she didn't want to think about it, her final performance became an unconditional obedience to Lu Lin.

But is it really thinking that she fears?

Human thinking and judgment of things are almost certainly affected by past experiences and experience.

In other words, as long as a person is thinking, the brain will inevitably continue to recall past experiences and learned knowledge.

Then, the keyword "memory" appeared again.

If it is said that Noomi's third loss of control was due to the act of "remembering" itself, then everything would make sense.

She was afraid of "memories" from beginning to end.

As long as she falls into "memories", she will be extremely painful, even so painful that she will constantly attack her own head.

The pain made her crazy, scared her, made her angry, made her hysterical, and in the end, made her howl in despair.

Just like what she showed in front of Lu Lin before.

When it comes to mental illness caused by past memories, combined with Numi's condition, the answer is already obvious.

No, it should be said that the answer has always been obvious, so that Lu Lin's random guess at the beginning was already on target.

This is PTSD.

And it's extremely severe PTSD.

Chapter 32 It’s broken, the dogs are going to overturn the table

PTSD, also known as post-traumatic stress disorder, refers to an individual who experiences, witnesses or encounters one or more actual deaths involving themselves or others, or is threatened with death, or is seriously injured, or has a threat to their physical integrity. The resulting delayed onset and persistence of mental disorders in an individual.

This disorder has three core responses - the arousal response, the avoidance response, and the obsessive-compulsive response.
