Chapter 2 Schizophrenia
East District, Gotham City, outside the suburbs.
As a young man who just started working, Rufis Klein had to choose to live in the suburbs.
Although houses in Gotham are not as good as those in Los Angeles, the monthly rent starts at $500, but the price in the city center is still not cheap.
Fortunately, the West Charity Hospital is not far from here, otherwise the daily journey to and from get off work would be enough to make Xing Ze feel upset.
After venting his anger in his heart, Xing Ze returned to his home in the suburbs at around 10 o'clock in the evening.
This is a long road with houses scattered on both sides of the road. There is no so-called nightlife here, so when he walked out of the taxi, it was pitch black.
Zhu Hei walked to the door. Just as Xing Ze was about to take out the key and open the door, the lights in the house next to him suddenly lit up.
"Rufez?" A white man poked his head out of the window next door.
This person is Xing Ze's neighbor, Lao Bali, a repairman who heard that he has good skills.
On weekdays, the old Barry family gets along well with him. Whenever they spend holidays, they will invite him to attend banquets. These are the few good memories left in Rufez Klein in his mind.
Because of this, Xing Ze, who was in a not very beautiful mood, was so late and patient to respond to the man's call.
After confirming Xing Ze's identity, Old Barry sneaked out of the house, approached him, and said helplessly: "Hey Rufez, tomorrow will be my boy's coming-of-age ceremony. His situation... You know, so you can see if you can..."
When Xiaobali recalled the situation in his mind, Xing Ze sighed silently, but responded in one mouthful.
There is no way, he can only pay back the favor debt owed by his predecessor.
After receiving the exact answer, Old Barry patted Xing Ze's shoulder overjoyed, and his old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Then I'm sure, hehe, if the little guy knew you would come, he would be very happy."
"No, in order to give him a good rest tonight, I can't tell him about this for the time being."
Looking at Old Barry's nagging back, Xing Ze shook his head helplessly and smiled.
After a few exchanges, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Regardless of whether this is the illusory world of the DC universe or not, at least from now on, everyone lives so real, it is difficult for Xing Ze to regard them as illusory existences.
Since he could not change the fact of traveling through time, no matter what the reality of this world was, he decided to face it bravely.
But at this moment, Xing Ze didn't know that the reality of this world was far more cruel than he thought.
......
The next morning, Xing Ze got up early and washed up.
Retrieve milk from outside the house and pair it with a toasted golden bread and an omelette, and a typical American breakfast is done.
During the meal, he couldn't help but recall his actions last night again.
Under normal circumstances, even if you learn that you may have come to an illusory world, Xing Ze would not have such a big emotional fluctuation.
After all, as a surgeon, the most important thing is to stay calm all the time, otherwise a little mistake will easily lead to terrible consequences.
Looking back now, yesterday, no, since he came to this world, his emotions have been having some problems.
I can't see it normally, but once I encounter a particularly great stimulus, I will feel an uncontrollable tyrannical feeling that will arise from the bottom of my heart and I can't even suppress it.
As a doctor, Xing Ze knew very clearly that there was something wrong with his mental problems.
"Is it the sequelae of memory fusion?"
“Schizophrenia?!”
The more I thought about it, the ugly the Xing Ze's face became.
"Doom always comes one after another." Shaking his head and sighed, a not-so-pleasant breakfast ended.
I just put on my coat and prepared to go to work, but the doorbell rang first.
When Xing Ze opened the door in confusion, he found that the person standing outside was the little barrie who was preparing to hold the coming-of-age ceremony today.
In the distance, Old Barry and his wife were looking here with a nervous look on their faces. When they saw his gaze, they quickly smiled friendly.
"I feel sorry for parents in the world."
Xing Ze squatted down, leveling his gaze with the little guy, and asked with a gentle smile on his face, "Is there anything wrong?"
I don’t know if his actions made Little Barry relax a little, but the child, who had just turned 18, finally spoke slowly: “Rufez, today is my coming-of-age ceremony. I hope you can attend.”
After saying that, the little guy looked at Xing Ze eagerly, obviously caring about his answer.
Social phobia, which mostly occurs in adolescence, is mainly manifested as strong fear and anxiety about social interaction.
Little Barry is a serious social phobia patient.
Therefore, the old Barry and his wife warmly invited him, and the only outsider who was not in conflict with this little Barry came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony.
Recalling his mental problems, Xing Ze decided to find an opportunity to consult a psychiatrist in the hospital today, and to help this poor little guy ask.
Perhaps Xing Ze thought for a long time, and Xiao Barry, who was worried about his rejection, had tears in his eyes, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Seeing that the little guy was about to turn around and escape, Xing Ze quickly said with a remedy: "Of course, of course I am willing to participate. Thank you very much for your invitation."
Hearing his promise, Little Barry smiled shyly with a flushing face, and then ran back home quickly.
He nodded to the old Barry and his wife who looked grateful, and then Xing Ze got on his second-hand Ford and drove to the West Charity Hospital in the workplace in the center of the East District.
As a young man living in M country, he can have no house, no girlfriend, or even no deposit, but he must never have a car.
Cars, here represent a culture, especially for teenagers.
This used old Ford was a transportation tool that Rufis Klein bought while saving money while working several odd jobs while saving enough money during his college years.
As a result, Xing Ze is now in vain. Of course, as a well-known surgeon in his previous life, he owns several luxury cars under his name, each much better than this old Ford.
Xing Ze either disliked second-hand cars, and there was nothing wrong with driving them, but he couldn't accept it.
He was very worried that if he continued to do so, his mouth would be whispered one day.
......
The busy day ended soon. While it was still early, Xing Ze first went to the mall to buy a newly issued game console as a gift, and then drove back home.
Today he took the time to visit the psychiatrist in the hospital and had a detailed examination. As expected, he was told that he had early symptoms of schizophrenia.
That inexplicable sense of tyranny comes from the second personality that has just been formed.
Fortunately, his symptoms are still very mild now. His second personality is just a sign of germination and does not have a clear sense of "self". He can recover quickly with appropriate psychological counseling and medication assistance.
When Xing Ze learned the specific situation, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was secretly reminding himself that he must try his best to avoid being stimulated in the future and that he could not continue to do what happened last night.
Whether he chooses to be an ordinary person in the future or finds a way to become a "superhero", at least he must be healthy first.
The tyranny and cruelty that the sub-personal personality showed, and just thinking about it made Xing Ze feel numb. If it really became a climate, the consequences would be unimaginable.
No one knows his own affairs better than Xing Ze. Once he becomes an "evil" existence, he will cause to the world.
Even this is a universe with many superheroes.
Just like the "Batman" who claims to be the strongest DC, as long as you can clearly know everyone's weaknesses, it is really a very simple thing to do evil.
......
Outside the eastern suburbs, Lao Bali's home.
"Perfect."
Looking at the simple but warm arrangement inside the house, Old Barry clapped his hands and looked at his wife with satisfaction.
"Okay, I'll be ready to invite our little Mr. Barry to the table. Well, I've not seen anyone for a while." Old Barry looked at his wife with some confusion, and the latter whispered into the room, indicating that his son had been locked in the room.
Just as the two were about to shout their son out first, Little Barry's door opened first.
The young man who walked out of the room acted very differently than usual.
"Damn it, what a shitty Batman, I thought it was some kind of magical creature, but did you tell me he was an ordinary human?"
"Qnmd Gaia, can't you write the introduction clearly? I have spent a lot of honors in vain."
Ignoring the two people who were talking in front of me, an injection appeared out of thin air in his hand. While injecting himself, he muttered quite discouragedly: "Forget it, I have exchanged all the exchanges, so I'd better use them. It's better than those stupid ones. I'll make some inexplicable crosses, flash bombs and other items. I really want to see their expressions now."
The scene of "Little Barry" injecting potion into his arms made the faces of the old Barry and his wife look ugly in an instant.
Although I don’t know what is in the bottle, I think it’s not a good thing with my toes. For this reason, Old Barry roared at his son for the first time: “Bastard, what are you doing!”
As he said that, he stepped forward and pulled off the already empty syringe.
At this moment, "Little Barry" suddenly twitched and fell to the ground. It can be seen from the veins that were rising all over his body and his extremely twisted face that he must be enduring great pain.
"Call an ambulance." Old Barry turned his head and shouted at his wife in a hurry.
But what he was waiting for was his wife's scream that was enough to pierce the eardrum.
Turning his head in confusion, Old Barry was stunned in an instant.
I saw the "Little Barry" lying on the ground. At this moment, the bones on his body seemed to be stretched open, and his back was even raised high, which made his body expand rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, he reached more than 2 meters high.
At the same time, his naked skin was covered with a layer of dark and thick hair, and his hands and feet continued to become thicker, just like the sharp claws of some kind of beast.
The couple watched him complete his transformation in a daze, which was too cognitive and forgot even calling the police for help.
Until, "Little Barry", who completely transformed into a werewolf, spoke.
"What am I doing? You should know now."
Chapter completed!
