Jiang Ran said, “My situation is very special.”
“In the past, when the secondary personalities took over my body, my main personality—that is, myself—would not fall asleep and would clearly know what the secondary personalities did while occupying my body.”
“But now, it’s different. When they take over, I fall into a deep sleep.”
Bai Xiaoliang frowned. Just as expected, this was completely different from ordinary dissociative identity disorder patients.
After all, in typical cases, the main personality never knows what the secondary personalities do when they take control.
“Anything else?”
Bai Xiaoliang asked.
Jiang Ran nodded. “Actually, I don’t mind them coming out, but the problem is that several of the personalities inside have huge issues. If they co out for too long, I’m afraid one day I’ll end up in jail…”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaoliang’s expression grew extrely serious.
The other doctors, however, smiled sowhat mockingly, seeming to think Jiang Ran was exaggerating or just bragging—there was no way it was that serious.
Bai Xiaoliang said, “So, your other personalities are all very dangerous?”
Jiang Ran nodded. “A few are fine. If you don’t provoke them, they won’t ss with you. But so… are like those twisted serial killers, you know what I an?”
Pfft!
Hearing this, a young doctor in the consultation room couldn’t help but laugh outright.
Bai Xiaoliang turned to ask him what was so funny.
The young doctor said, “This is ridiculous. It feels like reading a horror novel or watching a suspense movie or TV show. If your other personalities were really that twisted, you’d probably be in jail right now.”
Jiang Ran heard this and found himself unable to refute it.
Bai Xiaoliang instead glared angrily at the young doctor and told him to get out.
As a psychiatrist, how dare he question and mock his patient like that? Didn’t he know it was a huge taboo?
Don’t be fooled by Bai Xiaoliang’s handso, warm appearance. When he scolds soone, he’s rciless.
The young doctor was imdiately kicked out. The remaining doctors inside didn’t dare to make a sound, let alone laugh.
At this mont, Bai Xiaoliang regained his composure and asked Jiang Ran, “Jiang Ran, after treatnt, what outco do you hope to achieve?”
“Do you want all the other personalities to disappear and only your main personality to remain?”
“Or do you want to be able to stay awake even when the other personalities take over?”
Jiang Ran said, “Ideally, the treatnt would cure everything and leave only .”
“But I know that’s almost impossible and very difficult, so it all depends on you, doctor.”
Bai Xiaoliang exhaled deeply for a long ti. “Alright, I understand. But because your case is so special, we can’t give a definite treatnt plan right now. I’ll notify you next ti. As compensation, there will be no registration fee next ti.”
Jiang Ran nodded. “I’ll wait for your good news.”
Then he left Consultation Room 1.
After Jiang Ran left Consultation Room 1, Bai Xiaoliang turned to the seven or eight doctors beside him.
The young doctor who was kicked out earlier now stood outside the door, secretly listening to the conversation inside.
Bai Xiaoliang noticed but said nothing.
He asked the other doctors, “What do you think about Jiang Ran’s dissociative identity disorder?”
The young doctor who had first suggested Jiang Ran didn’t need to co in for treatnt, only to keep taking dication normally, shared his opinion:
“Jiang Ran’s dissociative identity disorder is indeed very special. Except for the possibility that the secondary personalities might pop out, there are no other negative symptoms. Normally, his condition is very good. But if what he says about his other personalities is true, and they are very dangerous, then we must deal with those other personalities. At the very least, we cannot allow them to randomly appear.”
The others expressed similar views.
After all, Jiang Ran really didn’t seem like other dissociative identity disorder patients.
Other patients with this disorder often suffer from many psychological and physiological problems.
For example: abnormal behavior, silent personality, sensitivity, hallucinations, insomnia, anxiety, suicidal tendencies, rage, tendency to harm others, mory loss, mory confusion, identity confusion, and so on.
According to Jiang Ran, he had none of these...
Bai Xiaoliang said imdiately, “Yes, Jiang Ran’s condition does seem much better than ordinary dissociative identity disorder patients.”
“But have you considered one thing?”
The other doctors looked puzzled. “What thing?”
Bai Xiaoliang’s face beca grave. “Is the Jiang Ran I saw last ti really the main personality?”
“And are the experiences and situations he described actually true?”
The other doctors were shocked, probably never having thought about this.
Bai Xiaoliang continued, “My Arican ntor, you all attended the eting to confirm Jiang Ran’s condition. You know my ntor once had a patient very similar to Jiang Ran.”
“You also learned that many patients’ secondary personalities are born to protect the main personality, taking on what the main personality cannot bear.”
“But so are not.”
“My ntor’s patient’s secondary personalities were all insane and twisted. Forget protecting the main personality—they wanted to eliminate the main personality and take over.”
“There’s sothing I forgot to tell you.”
“After confirming Jiang Ran’s diagnosis, my ntor privately warned to be cautious.”
“When he treated that patient years ago, he found that the personality he was in contact with was actually a secondary personality pretending to be the main one. Its purpose was to use my ntor’s treatnt to kill the real main personality and replace it.”
“So he told to repeatedly confirm if the personality I’m interacting with is really the main personality.”
“Never cause an accident where a secondary personality becos the main personality.”
“That would be like opening Pandora’s box.”
After hearing this, the other doctors all gasped sharply, their expressions extrely serious and even a bit fearful.
…
This ti, Jiang Ran’s visit was shorter than the last ti.
So he returned to the apartnt earlier.
He got back at 11 in the morning.
After returning to the apartnt, he saw Mike, the Arican, on the first floor talking with Manager Xiao Zhang.
At that mont, inside the managent office.
Mike asked Manager Xiao Zhang, “Is there a man in our apartnt who has super pale skin, even paler than a woman’s?”
Xiao Zhang said yes.
Mike asked where he lived.
Manager Xiao Zhang directly told Mike.
Mike turned and headed straight to the place Xiao Zhang had given him.
When Mike got on the elevator, Jiang Ran had already taken the elevator up.
So Mike waited a mont before boarding the elevator himself.
He arrived on the second floor.
At the second floor, he rang the doorbell of Room 201.
After ringing several tis, the door finally opened.
The one who opened the door was the fair-skinned young man Mike had seen before on the rooftop.
“I ca right in, Bai Ze,” Mike said.
Bai Ze nodded.
Then Mike walked inside, speaking as he went:
“You told Room 1001 holds the answers I want and the secrets of this apartnt.”
“I went in and rescued three people.”
“Those three also told the secrets of this apartnt.”
“Therefore, I ca today to ask you another question.”
