Psychopathic Cup Noodle

A month later, Lu Cheng sat in front of the bed.

It’s quite funny to say, at that time, he frantically aimed at his upper abdomen, and the knife rubbed against the ribs after piercing the peritoneum, but it failed to reach the internal organs several times, and the deepest part it reached was only a shallow hole on the stomach wall. Shallow scratches...the biggest danger is bacterial infection and bleeding.

At that time, there were many people on the street, and the rescue was timely, and Lu Cheng was quickly out of danger.

That person, on the other hand, was not so lucky.

During the entanglement, Bai Chong pushed Lu Cheng to the side of the road with a palm, but he was knocked three meters away by the pickup truck that turned normally after the traffic light jumped.The collision caused his skull fracture and intracranial hemorrhage. It took [-] hours of continuous rescue to miraculously recover his vital signs.After intensive care, the first craniotomy was performed for severe cerebral hemorrhage in the middle of the night, and it was a success; the next day, the MRI found that a small piece of the brain had been smashed apart, and the brain was edematous. It has not yet passed the dangerous period... Except In addition, Lu Cheng suffered several injuries all over his body, including his left leg, right shoulder and spleen.

The doctor issued a critical illness notice early in the morning, saying that if he did not wake up within seven days, there was no hope of recovery afterwards.

——These are what the policeman who came to register the case told Lu Cheng later.Due to the special situation of that person, the police temporarily reserved the right to prosecute him, and only made some civil consultations with Lu Cheng who was "stabbed".

Lu Cheng also reserved the right to obtain civil compensation. He knew it was hypocritical, but getting money from this person made him feel sick.

And then until today.Bai Chong didn't wake up, but his vital signs were still intact. Thinking that his body must be fighting tenaciously with the god of death as he said at the beginning, Lu Cheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

On a sunny day like today, when he sat by his bed, he could still see those long eyelashes quivering defensively.

After the accident, Liu Cheng, who had only met Bai Chong once, came to help wash and change clothes. The careful girl even took out the small nail clippers she carried with her and sat in front of the bed to restore Bai Chong's nails one by one. round shape.Lu Cheng knew that his sister regarded that man as a tragic prince, so he didn't tell her anything; he only said that the other party didn't pay attention to the vehicles driving behind him when he was shopping with him, and the other party pushed him away but unfortunately he died... He screamed and jumped in front of the hospital bed, and grabbed Lu Cheng's bangs and told him to kneel down and apologize to Bai Chong.

Lu Cheng obeyed his sister's words, but he didn't feel sorry at all: Although his planning process was not satisfactory, everyone was happy in the end.He really wants to know whether Bai Chong is conscious; if so, whether it hurts; if it hurts, what is his idea of ​​being imprisoned in this broken body——

Lu Cheng thinks that Bai Chong looks much better now than before.

After resting for a month, Lu Cheng's previous savings were almost exhausted.He changed a magazine and received a mountain of manuscripts. Sometimes he spent a whole day nestling in a rented house writing hard, and sometimes he crossed mountains and seas in order to run for interviewees.

Despite being so tired, Lu Cheng often came to see Bai Chong; he was holding a baguette in front of his bed, pushed away his laptop, and typed a topic so profound that he himself felt embarrassed , while conceiving and taking care of each other.

A long time ago, Lu Cheng read a novel in which the term psychopath was mentioned, which means psychopaths—the novel also mentioned “wicked people”, but Lu Cheng preferred its other translation—“people without conscience ".

Most people will try to find satisfaction in interpersonal relationships, such as helping each other and caring for each other. Even negative emotions such as superiority and jealousy are one of the motivations for survival.However, in the eyes of "heartless" people, these emotions mean nothing.

In addition, there is an interesting metaphor in the novel: for unconscionable people, "love" is a word similar to "chair".Lu Cheng slowly typed this line of text, and glanced at the bed—"Love", Bai Chong said, supporting the bed with his hands in plaster, and silently looked at Lu Cheng. "Love, chair, love, chair."

"Well—I feel so warm when I mention love. I think it's a sacred word, so touching."

"Oh my God." Lu Cheng covered his face with his hands and smiled.Of course it was just an illusion, Bai Chong fell asleep on his own in the dark, as quiet as a cat whose claws had been pulled out.

Lu Cheng left the ward before dawn, and came back after dark, always like this, again and again... In some ways, this can be considered as fulfilling the promise to Bai Chong during the house arrest that "he will definitely go home for the night"?

Although he was too tired to sit down and peck rice, Lu Cheng took a little time every day to do a survey on "unconscionable people" - the result was as expected - there was a huge and terrifying space behind this word.

Most scholars believe that a person's "conscience" is determined by genetics, or it may be due to biochemical changes during pregnancy and childbirth, or viral exposure to fetal exposure.

Some people have scanned the brains of thousands of murderers with electron emission tomography (PET), and found that a very small number of people have congenitally inactive prefrontal cortex and cannot feel the pain of others.

— In other words, "having no conscience" is likely to be born.From a pathological point of view, it is the same thing as "epilepsy" and "congenital myocardial insufficiency"; Bai Chong is not "as if there is no cure", but from a physiological point of view, he is really incurable.

Most epileptic patients are born with sudden discharge of brain neurons, twitching, and foaming at the mouth; those with hypoplastic heart muscle bring a huge burden to the family, and patients with Asperger syndrome can't perceive normal human emotions. Blindly living in their own world; even if they encounter suicide cries on the top of the building, they will only feel confused, and they will be stunned when the other party jumps down... So, are they evil?

It is a sadist who feels happy after killing others, and an unconscionable person will not feel anything after killing someone; in the example of the suicidal person just now, it is Esper who sees the other party crying and does not know the other party's pain Patients with personality syndrome, unconscionable people clearly understand that the other party is in pain, and can even predict that the other party will jump off the roof, but they don't care.Is this kind of indifference and indifference evil?

Is the world unfair to unconscionable people who are "born evil"?If you tell an innocent child: You were born to be a criminal because you have no conscience - what will he think?

Lu Cheng opened the Internet and searched with "unconscionable person" and "psychopath" as keywords; he found that someone had changed the name of this type of person to "psychopath patient"—do you want to give psychopath patients sympathy or care?they asked.

And when Lu Cheng discussed this matter with the editor sitting in the cubicle next to him the next day, his colleagues pondered for a while and gave the opposite answer: If they can't imitate "conscientious behavior", they can only be eliminated by society.

People with Asperger's Syndrome can "mimic social behavior" despite their inability to understand human emotions.

Although they don't know how to appreciate, they can learn to "applause as soon as the speech is over."

Although they can't feel the pain, they can learn to "step up to comfort when they see someone crying."

If unconscionable people cannot "learn" conscientious behavior like Asperger syndrome patients learn social behavior, in order to protect most people, society can only abandon them, which is a matter of course.

Of course, it would be too euphemistic to say "give up". Although the term "unconscionable person" has only recently been invented, human society has long been practicing this kind of "giving up".

Since the Middle Ages, the ritual of burning heretics has been held continuously. People sometimes erroneously and sometimes accurately single out "abnormal people" in order to distinguish themselves (the majority) from each other (the abnormal minority);

Lu Cheng believes that in modern times, a small number of unconscionable people have entered the mental hospital, and are forced to do questionnaires from psychologists every day like Dr. Lecter in "The Silence of the Lambs"; however, their "perversion" is not psychological. and spiritual level;

However, most of them "committed crimes" before being detected as "abnormal":

The suspect in the 2004 serial murder that caused a sensation in South Korea was diagnosed with psychopath;

90% of serial murders in the United States, 50% of violent cases, and 25% of domestic violence are all involved in psychopath;

People with Psychopath are 80% more likely to commit crimes after being released from prison, and 40% more likely to recommit extra-large crimes, which is twice as high as ordinary criminal suspects.

What happened to these people?

……

Of course, knowing that an unconscionable person will become a pervert or even a murderer, but not taking measures against him is tantamount to letting a tiger take to the streets, but the society has no prevention and treatment methods for unconscientious people, and adopts "do nothing if you don't see it, kill it if you see it". "The mechanism is also an indisputable fact.

The formulation of a society's laws, including the moral system, lags far behind scientific discoveries.The mechanism is unlikely to change until science advances to the point where unconscionable people are actually diagnosed.

So, under the existing mechanism, what kind of attitude should be adopted towards such people with birth defects?

Lu Cheng couldn't find a way out, his thoughts rolled into a ball like a ball of wool under a cat's paw... He didn't know that four hours later the nurse would yell at him, hysterical, and the cheddar cheese in his hand would roll onto Bai Chong's sheet , fell asleep there on his head.

"'Born defect', is that what you call me? Myocardial 'insufficiency', what is your analogy to me?"

"Hmm..." Lu Cheng didn't know whether to agree or deny, slowly drooling and twisting her head towards the crook of her arm.

"I can't agree."

With a pile of tubes on his wrist, the imaginary man flips through documents and makes soft comments.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Get out—!" Mi Bai's sunlight suddenly pierced her eyes.Lu Cheng was like a grasshopper that had been knocked to the blade of grass under his feet, jumping up in a jerk.

Several hands pushed on his back, and the nurse yelled something, pushing him out of the door.

In the chaos, Lu Cheng didn't understand what happened - but he didn't care anymore.

Among the shaking nurse uniforms, white coats, panicked footsteps and the faintly flickering sunlight, a voice grabbed all his attention like gravity grabbing the light.

Incomparably weak, yet incomparably firm.

Hoarse like a pillow talk, sexy like a rubbing ear.

"Good morning, Editor Lu."
