Chapter Nineteenth Abnormal Mental Changes

  Li Qiu's abnormal behavior left the two elderly people at a loss, and Tonomura Katsu immediately turned around to search for books on the bookshelf, while Yamaguchi Mirei continued to stay in front of the monitor, observing Li Qiu in the basement.

  In the black and white image, Li Qiu walked back and forth in the basement with a very calm demeanor, one hand supporting her chin, as if thinking about something. Occasionally, she would glance at her own body, occasionally look around, and soon return to calmness. Her short figure sat back on the stairs. After a long time, on the black and white screen, Yamaguchi Mirei saw Li Qiu sitting on the stairs smiling, with a hint of relief, but more self-mockery...

  "Honey, I've found it!"

  Yamaguchi Mireiko took the book handed over by Fujiki Masaru, looked at the text on the page turned to by Fujiki Masaru and said, "I see, is that so? 'Abnormal psychological change', full recovery! Masaru, do you understand this?"

  "My wife, I've been studying vocal problems all this time, when will I have the chance to study psychological ones?" Fujiwaki Masaru gazed at his wife with a hint of resentment.

  "Alright, just asking." Yamaguchi Mirei's jade-like hand pinched Tanaka Katsu's cheek, her voice very gentle. "I haven't studied this question either... sorry..." The originally smooth forehead now furrowed into a mass of wrinkles, like rolling waves, one after another. Tanaka Katsu smiled and lightly lifted his hand to gently wipe away the wrinkles, while Yamaguchi Mirei returned a smile and continued reading her book.

  Total Recall State refers to a special spiritual state in which one's consciousness undergoes a profound and fundamental transformation. At this time, the person entering this state will simultaneously experience two very different realities, giving rise to the feeling of "having both feet planted in different worlds." In the Total Recall State, our sensory perceptions undergo significant changes. When we close our eyes, our visual field is filled with images from our personal history, personal and collective unconsciousness. We have numerous visions related to plants, animals, nature, or various aspects of the universe, which can bring us into the realm of archetypal life experiences (archetypal existence). When we open our eyes, our perception of the environment can be elevated by these dynamic projections from the unconscious, including changes in auditory, bodily sensations, olfactory and gustatory perceptions.

  Yamaguchi Mireiko finished reading the text and thought for a long time before spitting out one sentence, "Shou, let him go, if he continues like this, he might really go crazy!"

  "Wife, isn't he an expert in this field? Let's ask him! Ah, that child..." After hearing Yamaguchi Mirei's words, Fujiki Masaru walked out of the study room. Just as he stepped out, he remembered why he came to find his wife and turned back to say something, but ultimately decided not to say it yet and instead let her go first.

  "How could I have forgotten my own son!" Fujiwaki's words immediately brought Yamaguchi Mirei's thoughts out of the book, out of the study, back to her room, picking up the phone and dialing her eldest son's number.

  Mika Yamaguchi was married to Shōsuke Fujimori after learning that Kim Min-hee's father had remarried and had children, so Mika's son, Fujimori Makoto, is two years younger than Kim Min-young. He is the elder of the twins born to Shōsuke Fujimori and Mika Yamaguchi, attended Waseda University, majoring in psychology, with a Ph.D., and is a well-known psychologist in Japan.

  "Mother." Togeki Makoto had just returned home from the hospital and was about to take a bath when his phone rang. He looked at it and saw that it was his mother calling, so he immediately answered.

  "Really, I have a question for you, have you studied the topic of 'abnormal psychological changes'?"

  "'Abnormal psychological changes'? This topic is quite niche, even hospitals don't study it, but I can look up some information. Mother, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about this? 'Abnormal psychological changes' is a serious mental health issue!"

  "I just took in a new student and locked him in a small black room, now it seems like there's this..."

  ……

  "Bang!" The door of the cellar suddenly opened, and strong light shot in from the square door, shining on Li Qiu's body sitting on the stairs. Then, Li Qiu's body fell to the ground without warning...

  Tongu victorious although older, but the body is very robust, with a cloth to cover Li Qiu's eyes, and then hold him out of the cellar, sent back to Li Qiu's room, just put him down on the bed, Li Qiu woke up again, except for a pale face, there was no change, still the original Li Qiu.

  "Grandfather Tōmoku? I...I'm out?" Li Qiū was just about to lift the cloth covering his eyes, but was stopped by Tōmoku Shō.

  "Don't lift it yet, let your eyes get used to the light through the cloth first, then slowly lift it. Are you okay?"

  "What?"

  Tong Sheng looked up and down at Li Qiu, didn't find anything wrong, even reached out to touch Li Qiu's neck, after confirming that Li Qiu was really okay, then shouted loudly. "Ah! Not speaking the same language is always annoying! Wife, this kid is fine."

  Yamaguchi Mireiko was about to tell her eldest son about Li Qiu's situation when Fujiwara Shota's loud voice came from outside the room, "Mirei, it's all right, if you have time, help your mother look up some information first, if not, just take care of yourself."

  "Yes, Mother."

  "Really, go take a bath..." Behind Fujiki Makoto, his wife, Osada Masako entered the room and told him to take a bath, but before she could finish speaking, Fujiki Makoto stopped her with "It's Mother's phone call."

  "Oh." Nagata Masako quietly exited the room so as not to disturb her husband and mother's conversation.

  "Just go home and take a bath first, are Yako and my grandson all right?"

  "Mother, they are all fine, you and father should also take care of your health and don't overwork."

  "Go ahead." After finishing speaking, Yamaguchi Mireiko hung up the phone, smiled slightly, adjusted her expression, and then walked out of the room.

  Li Qiu's face was deathly pale at this time, her eyes were tightly covered with a cloth, and she lay on the tatami-matted bed.

  "Are you okay?"

  "Grandma Teng, I'm fine."

  "It doesn't matter."

  "Grandma Teng, it's just a test."

  "Your stomach shouldn't be hungry, right? You ate so much." In a closed and dark environment, finding things to do is a very normal thing, which is also a kind of darkroom reaction, pacing back and forth, scratching the wall. Even self-mutilation is possible.

  "Uh-huh, I'm not hungry."

  "Let's take a rest tonight and talk about the test tomorrow." With that, Yamaguchi Mireiko and Fujiki Masaru walked out of the room.

  "Has it passed? Or hasn't it? And I've been inside, for how many days? It should be three days already, it's been so long! In fact, there was only one daytime!"
