Chapter 22 The Five Stages of Reification
What is it like to live in two mental illnesses in your family?
Fortunately, when Yan Ran and his fiancée bought a house, considering that the other party’s parents might come to live there, they gritted their teeth and bought three bedrooms and one living room.
In addition to the master bedroom, there is also a guest bedroom and a tatami room. The tatami room also serves as a study room, with desks and bookshelfs placed inside.
After Yan Ran considered it, he asked Bian Jia to live in a guest bedroom, and Yaoyao lived in a tatami room, because Yaoyao was still a junior high school student and needed to study with a desk.
As for whether Bian Jia needs to learn?
If his brain grows in his muscles, Yan Ran will consider letting him live in a tatami room.
Both of them brought their luggage, and Yan Ran helped them clean up.
Bian Jia's luggage is very simple, with only three sets of changing camouflage suits for clothes, and some military equipment that can be purchased by the people. Yan Ran had previously thought that Bian Jia's words and deeds were very similar to soldiers, and later confirmed this from Bian Jia. He has been working in Caiyun Province since he joined the army at the age of 18, and now he is thirty years old.
It is worth mentioning that in Bian Jia's luggage, there was also the black missionary costume he wore when Yan Ran saw him for the first time, and a scripture that he didn't know what was recorded. Bian Jia seemed to care about these two things very much, so Yan Ran did not dare to ask questions rashly, for fear that touching his "obsession" would make Bian Jia out of control.
But this was actually because Yan Ran was too worried. When Huangfu Zhengping handed the two of them to Yan Ran, he only explained Yaoyao's situation, but did not explain much about Bian Jia's situation at all, indicating that Bian Jia is actually the most stable and reassuring existence among the three.
Compared with Bian Jia's luggage, Yaoyao's luggage is even simpler.
Apart from clothes and textbooks, there are boxes of dolls full of. All dolls are pieced together, none of which are intact and look a bit cunning.
OK, this is pretty good.
After the three of them packed their luggage, it was already noon. Yan Ran ordered takeout and dealt with it briefly.
While having dinner, Yan Ran asked curiously:
"Brother Jia, that..."
"Call me a macho."
"Okay macho."
Yan Ran sighed and asked, "Instructor Huangfu said you were already a formal field staffer before, so why are you transferred to us now and become a new reserve?"
When Bian Jia mentioned this, she was a little angry and unconsciously pinched the iron spoon with one hand:
"Our boss, as a company employee, indulged his son in the form of something, and I accidentally discovered it. I caught this in Caiyun Province before, but how could I bear it when I saw it? He punched the boy half-dead on the spot. Later, the supervisor was fired, and his second-generation son was also sent to the drug rehabilitation center. However, because I lost control, I was asked by my superiors to return to the furnace and rebuild. I heard that you have opened a new branch here, so I transferred me here."
"So that's it," Yan Ran nodded, "How many abnormal events have you solved before that?"
"Not many, only seven or eight times, I didn't count carefully." Bian Jia replied casually.
Seven or eight times, it's already amazing.
No wonder Bian Jia acted so maturely and experienced when dealing with the small man before, and had her own tricks.
I thought everyone was a member of the novice village, but I never thought of you but a senior boss came back to practice again.
"Speaking of this, I have a friend in the north who has imaginary symptoms like you, but he imagined his daughter." Bian Jia showed a thoughtful look.
"Does our polluters have any characteristics?" Yan Ran asked.
"The characteristics...everyone is different. For example, you are different from Instructor Huangfu, but there are similarities."
Bian Jia paused and said:
"That is the state level of the concrete object."
"What's the meaning?"
"Simply put, it is the object that is embodied, showing different stages, representing the strength and weakness of ability. Take you as an example. The instructor told me before that you can only occasionally see the existence of your fiancée and cannot communicate with her. Only in a crisis can she rescue her, right?"
“That’s how it is.”
Bian Jia nodded and raised her index finger: "This is the first stage of the patient with conjecture. In the first stage, you can occasionally see the existence of your fiancée; in the second stage, you can see her at any time, as long as you want, she will appear or disappear as you wish; in the third stage, she can communicate with you and have a preliminary self-awareness; in the fourth stage, she forms independent thoughts and independent personality; in the fifth stage, all of us... can see her existence."
"Of course this is just a rough analysis. In this world, every polluter is a unique existence, so your situation may not be the same as what I said, and not all of the five stages may be consistent."
After listening to Bian Jia's explanation, Yan Ran couldn't help but his heart beat faster.
What Instructor Huangfu said is true.
As long as she can reach the fifth stage Bian Jia mentioned, Xiaochan will be "resurrection" in the true sense!
Miss Kong Gulan must have reached the fifth stage, right?
Yan Ran felt excited. Since that nightmare day, he had never felt so close to Su Xiaochan.
But, how should we improve this stage?
Is it enough to stay at home?
At this time, Yan Ran's cell phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number.
He answered and asked, "Hello, who?"
"Thank God, someone finally answered the phone!"
The person on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief: "You are Su Xiaochan's husband Yan Ran, right? I finally found your phone number! Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this, but... do you still remember the coffee shop that your wife opened before her death? I am the landlord of the coffee shop. Apart from the earliest deposit, you have already owed four months of rent... Look at this coffee shop, do you plan to continue opening it?"
The landlord seemed afraid of hurting Yan Ran's heart and quickly added:
"Xiaochan is a good girl. She never arrears rent. She bakes cakes and biscuits for my youngest son during festivals. I really can't accept that she would make such a decision... So although she has not received rent in the past few months, I haven't touched your coffee shop. This coffee shop is also a thought. Even if it is to be demolished, you have to nod."
Feeling the care of this landlord, Yan Ran's heart became much warmer.
He was silent for a few seconds and replied, "I will go to the coffee shop in the afternoon and make plans. Is it OK?"
"Yes, I'll put the spare key of the store under the flower pot at the door. You can give me a reply after reading it. It's okay to wait for a few days."
"Thanks."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Lan got up and put on his coat.
Yaoyao raised her head and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Uh... go out to deal with something, can you stay at home obediently? Brother Jia will be with you." Yan Ran said softly.
After Mo Yongnian left, only Yan Ran was in Yaoyao's eyes, so Yan Ran was afraid that Yaoyao would lose control after he left.
Yaoyao originally wanted to go with Yan Ran.
But her eyes passed over Yan Ran and looked behind Yan Ran, then her pupils trembled, as if she was communicating with someone. After that, she nodded silently and agreed to stay at home.
Yan Ran turned around helplessly, looked at Bian Jia's fiancée whom he could not see and asked:
"Don't scare Yaoyao, she's still a child."
The fiancée turned around expressionlessly, turned her back to Yan Ran, and floated out of the house, as if she was ready to go out.
Yan Ran shook his head helplessly and happily.
Although Xiaochan still appears and disappears from time to time now, but her body is still twisted often, she seems to have...a little emotion?
When did this progress begin?
Could it be that after swallowing the little one?
Yan Ran thought and walked out of the house.
Bian Jia looked at the closed door and said to herself: "The polluter of the illusion is so awesome. If I had illusion, it would be fine. Then I could have many wives, Asuna, Kuang San, Rem, Nezuko, SpongeBob... Hum? It seems that something strange has been mixed in."
At this time, Yaoyao was already full, and she looked at Bian Jia: "It's time to study, Brother Jia, can you tutor me in my studies?"
"ha?"
Bian Jia scratched her big bald head, thinking that her education was only graduated from high school... But tutoring a junior high school student should not be a big problem.
