Chapter 9 The Confusion of Leaving the Soul

////stand

Since she met Feng Junzi, Taomuling has been trying every means to correct Feng Junzi's "ideology" and has told him a lot of knowledge about psychology, pathology, and social phenomenology. In fact, she has never really understood that Feng Junzi, and Taomuling's attempt to "assimilate" him is impossible to achieve.

Now that he heard Taomuling say this to him again, Feng Junzi smiled and asked, "Are you not scared now? Are you good at experiencing haunted houses? Why was you scared that night?"

Taomuling is indeed a well-trained expert. Her experience that night really scared her, but after calmly thinking, she felt that all kinds of phenomena could be explained reasonably, and she became calm. Not only did she calm down, she even felt that her experience that night was very meaningful to her, which was also something that Feng Junzi had to admire.

Taomuling replied: "With that experience, I will not be like that in the future. I still want to write this matter into a paper. Now there is only one question that has not been clarified, that is, is Huang Dongbo sleepwalking?"

Feng Junzi: "Do you know how the term 'sleepwalking' was said in ancient China?"

Taomuling: "You can't defeat me. I know it's called 'soul-leaving syndrome', right?"

Feng Junzi: "You are right. There was indeed a saying of soul-leaving in ancient China. Later, with Western medicine, people translated soul-leaving into sleepwalking. When it was translated into foreign languages, I'm afraid no one knew what soul-leaving is. But soul-leaving and sleepwalking are two different things."

Taomuling: "Is that so? Do you think Huang Dongbo has the Soul-Leaving Symptom?"

Feng Junzi nodded: "I don't know if he has a disease, but this is indeed the legendary phenomenon of soul-leaving. You should be an expert in this regard, and I would like to ask you. Have you seen such a patient in normal times? I feel that your consciousness exists without your body?"

"Yes, there are many such cases, especially many patients who are rescued in critical condition. Most of them have this experience. Some people think this is a way for people to psychologically escape pain and fear. Do you think this is soul-leaving disease?"

Feng Junzi: "I don't know much, so I want to ask you. But Huang Dongbo's situation is different. He is not that his consciousness is separated from his body, but that his body is separated from his consciousness. His body ran to the corridor, but his consciousness is still lying on the bed. His soul is imprisoned and lost control. This is probably the so-called soul-leaving."

Taomuling: "How do you explain that doll?"

Feng Junzi shook his head: "I am not a god. I don't know everything in this world, and I don't want to explain everything that is happening in the world with self-righteousness."

...

Although everything has passed and things seem to be over, neither Huang Dongbo, Taomuling or Feng Junzi fully understand what happened that night.

Huang Dongbo did break his finger and accidentally dripped blood on the little ronin doll. This human-shaped doll may have undergone a strange change in a way we don’t know. The reason why Huang Dongbo accidentally broke his finger was because the doll reminded him of something that made him uneasy, but he himself did not realize it. Perhaps it was the doll that only had one eye that made him think of another eye subconsciously, but this consciousness was buried so deeply that Huang Dongbo himself did not feel obvious.

In fact, on the night of July 15, if you were another person, standing in front of Huang Dongbo's bedroom, you would see an unknown story happening. Huang Dongbo was lying on the bed and was having a nightmare. His soul seemed to be entangled by the nightmare and could not move. At this time, a woman appeared at the head of his bed.

The woman stretched out her hand as if she wanted to strangle Huang Dongbo's throat, but her body was empty and had no substantial power. She had no way to hurt Huang Dongbo. However, Huang Dongbo was in a trance in the nightmare, and the three souls and seven spirits seemed to be suppressed by her nightmare and could not move. The woman stood at Huang Dongbo's bedside for a long time and seemed to have discovered something.

After a while, Huang Dongbo's body sat up, got out of bed and walked out of the door, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth. At this moment, a shadow of a little man came out of the wardrobe, and suddenly fell into Huang Dongbo's body and disappeared. If you stand on the side and watch quietly, Huang Dongbo has become a naughty doll and walks out of the door with ridiculous steps.

What would happen to Huang Dongbo if this doll didn't appear? No one knew. The rest was everything Huang Dongbo could recall later.
