"What's the condition of the patient?"

In the corridor of Linchuan Mental Hospital, commonly known as the Second Hospital, Lin Shu asked the doctor beside him while flipping through the records of previous interviews.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for a small reporter from an unknown small media like him to come directly to a mental hospital to conduct interviews.

But he has good connections - this doctor named Xie Yuchi has been his childhood friend and has deep feelings. For the sake of his precarious career, he is also willing to give a green light on some non-principled issues.

Holding the case in his left hand, Xie Yuchi quickly signed his name with his right hand, and then replied:

"The patient is a master from the Meishan sect—master, do you know what he is?"

"Master?"

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment.

He is actually no stranger to the profession of "master", especially in the minority-inhabited area where he grew up. The role of master has penetrated into all aspects of life.

You have to go to your master to see the yangzhai or the yin house, you have to go to your master to pray for blessings during festivals, you have to go to your master to resolve any unlucky things, and even if a fish bone gets stuck in your throat, there are a lot of people who don't go to the hospital but go to your master instead.

----Speaking of fish bone stuck, Lin Shu has actually experienced it himself.

Back then, his mother had a fish bone stuck in her throat, so she went to see her master to "transform it into water". When she poured a bowl of talisman water into it, the fish bones were gone.

Later, Lin Shu also learned about it. This spell was called the "Nine Dragons Water Transformation Technique" and was very common in the Meishan Sect.

As for whether it is effective... For a materialist, Lin Shu still prefers it. It is a strong psychological suggestion. As for the master, most of them are "actively or passively" pretending to be gods and ghosts.

So, the patient who caused the big problem this time is a master who is "crazy enough to believe in himself"?

After slightly recovering his scattered thoughts, Lin Shu nodded and replied:

"I know about Master——so the things he did before were related to religious beliefs?"

"It's a big deal."

Xie Yuchi answered concisely, while Lin Shu frowned.

"Then it would be a big trouble...I originally thought he was an ordinary mental patient, but if it is mixed with religion, then it would be difficult for me to report it..."

"Whether you report it or not, public opinion has already shifted in this direction."

Xie Yuchi shrugged.

"One was slightly injured and two were seriously injured, and the scene was so weird that the news could not be suppressed for a long time."

"Just scroll through Douyin and watch. Everyone on it is guessing that it's a cult sacrifice."

"This must be a big breaking point. It depends on whether you have the ability to bypass the review red line - you are in this industry, you can't let me teach you, right?"

"Indeed."

Lin Shu secretly thought that there was actually no way to successfully report this case. It was nothing more than using "cult" to attract attention first, and finally using science to explain the process, following the old path of "approaching science".

There are a lot of steps, and the audit red lines are a little tighter, but as long as it can be exposed, it may become a phenomenon-level traffic.

By then, I won’t have to worry about my bonus for the second half of the year...

Thinking of this, Lin Shu made a decisive decision.

"Let's go and see him first - he's not in any danger, is he?"

"No."

Xie Yuchi shook his head and said:

"He is a very self-consistent patient and basically not aggressive. However, I can't arrange a room for you. Just go to the door of his ward and talk to him through the door."

"No problem."

Lin Shu followed Xie Yuchi, and the two of them quickened their pace slightly.

The layout of the Second Hospital is the same as that of all other mental hospitals. There is a long corridor with solid doors made of alloy on both sides. There is an observation window on the door. The observation window is facing the bed, making it easier to observe the patient's condition.

Generally speaking, critically ill patients are tied to the bed with restraints.

However, patients with relatively mild symptoms, or who are self-consistent and have no tendency to harm themselves are basically left alone.

Just like the patient they are seeing now named Xu Changshun.

"Changshun!"

Xie Yuchi called through the door, and a man sat up from the bed.

"Hey, thank you doctor!"

His face appeared in front of the observation window - it was a face that completely fit Lin Shu's stereotype of "Master".

Thin, angular, with high cheekbones.

His hair is gray and tied back, and his whole person has a somewhat fairy-like aura, but it also contains a hint of dark, chilling air-conditioning.

"Doctor Xie...who is this?"

"My friend is a reporter. Just call me Xiao Chen. He wants to know more about you."

Xie Yuchi answered quite frankly. She had no intention of hiding anything from Xu Changshun.

"Oh...Then let's talk standing up? Sorry, junior, this is the rule here..."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Lin Shu answered quickly.

Just like Xie Yuchi said, he really didn't see any aggression in Xu Changshun - the coldness he felt when he first saw him was actually mostly from the coldness of the "Meishan Sect" to which he belonged.

"What do you want to ask?"

Xu Changshun dominated the rhythm of the conversation, but did not show too much oppression.

"I would like to ask about the cause and effect of the crime - is it convenient?"

"Hey..."

Xu Changshun sighed, with a bit of regret in his eyes.

"It's nothing inconvenient. Just saying it makes me feel better."

"Actually, I really regret it."

Regret?

"What do you regret?"

"I regret hurting those three people... I also read the reviews online from Dr. Xie. They all said that I wanted to sacrifice human beings or something."

Xu Changshun shook his head.

"But it's not like that... How can our Meishan sect have any human sacrifice magic?"

"Meishan Sect is originally a sect... developed based on farming and hunting. Our spells are all related to farming and hunting. How can it be so dark..."
