Chapter 001 Dig a hole and bury yourself

"In 1973, Professor Rosenhan from the Department of Psychology at Stanford University conducted a bold experiment... After pretending to be a psychiatric patient, he successfully got into a famous psychiatric hospital in New York, and easily concealed it from the doctors of the psychiatric hospital."

"However, when he wanted to prove that he was not mentally ill, he found that he could not prove himself at all."

"On the other hand, the treatment drugs that the hospital mandated to take had significant side effects, which made his mental condition worse and worse, and it looked no different from those of a real mentally ill patient."

"If his wife hadn't come and rescued him in time as planned, he might have turned into a mental illness."

"This is the famous 'Rosenhann Experiment'!"

"The 'Rosenhan's Experiment' tells us a truth--even psychological experts like Professor Rosenhan are likely to be unable to prove themselves that they are not mentally ill. How do you ask me to prove it?"

"Doctor Beth, I think you are making things difficult for me, Raymond!"

[Clockworks.Psychiatric.Hospital], In a clinic.

A young man wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown looked about in his early thirties. He could tell at a glance that he was a Asian man. The white mixed-race man was talking helplessly.

Sitting opposite him was a white female doctor in a standard white coat and blonde hair. A small silver nameplate hung on the left side of her chest with her name:

Dr. Caitlyn Beth.

When the mixed-race young man, Raymond, was talking, Dr. Beth just listened calmly, and from time to time he used a pen to record something on the medical record in front of him.

It was not until Raymond finished speaking that she put down the pen in her hand and looked up at Raymond:

"From the logic of language, there is no problem with your performance, and your speech just now is also quite exciting. I dare say that most normal people are not as good as you..."

"but?"

Raymond knew that after that, there would be one next.

"...But you told me yesterday that you are from China and are a well-known private detective. I don't know why you appeared here when you woke up, right?" Dr. Beth turned the medical record forward and asked while looking at the records on the medical record.

Raymond's expression froze slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.

Because these words were indeed what he said in person, and there was no refutation or refutation.

You know, there are surveillance cameras in this clinic. If he insists on being unreasonable, Dr. Beth can take out the surveillance video to suck him in the face in minutes.

But at that time, he didn't realize that he had traveled through time...

Yes, time travel is seen again and again.

Although the term time travel is already familiar to him, the old bookworm online, no one who wakes up and finds that he has been locked up in a mental hospital, his first reaction cannot be to guess that he has actually traveled through time, right?

What's more, there were no mirrors or anything else in the ward. He was shocked and angry at that time and didn't even realize that his body was no longer his original body. He just wanted to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

It was not until the first time he communicated with Dr. Beth that he discovered the truth.

That night, some memory fragments of the original owner of the body appeared in his mind one after another, and he knew his current situation, as well as the identity and experience of the original owner of the body, etc.

But that was already the first time he had met Dr. Beth.

Even if I want to change my words, it's too late.

Therefore, in Dr. Beth's eyes, he should be a subordinate personality who fantasizes himself as a famous private detective from China.

To be honest, Raymond was not surprised that Dr. Beth made this judgment. The reason why the original owner of the body was sent to this psychiatric hospital was schizophrenia...

Moreover, for a person like Dr. Beth who deals with mental patients all day long, it is really not strange that a person who has a sub-person personality who has made up for himself as a private detective from China.

Compared to those mentally ill patients who often claim to be God, Satan, aliens..., what can a mere Chinese private detective be considered?

Sprinkle water~~~

But this led to Raymond's inability to gain Dr. Beth's trust at all, nor could he convince Dr. Beth that he had really "recovered".

After all, he could not really say that he was a time traveler.

Not to mention whether Dr. Beth can believe it, and to take a step back, even if it really can, he would never dare to do so.

Judging from the memory fragments of the original owner of the body, the world he is in is most likely the "Marvel World" he knew in his previous life!

Although he is not sure which version of Marvel World he is in now is what he knows.

But no matter which version it is, one thing is certain - this world has extraordinary power!

Once he foolishly said that he was a time traveler from outside this world and that people believed this, God knew how many extraordinary forces of light and darkness would come to his mind.

So, this is a method that absolutely doesn't work and doesn't have to be considered at all.

Instead of that, he would rather stay in a psychiatric hospital first than be regarded as a guinea pig.

But if this method aside, he really couldn't think of any good idea for a while, so he could only rack his brains to fight wits and courage with Dr. Beth, trying to get through cuteness!

Unfortunately, Dr. Beth is much harder to deal with than he expected...

MMP!

"I can explain what happened yesterday..." Hearing Dr. Beth mentioning what happened yesterday, Raymond had to bite the bullet and prepare to take out an excuse that was not exciting to think of in advance.

But before Doctor Beth could finish his words, he interrupted, "Then let's not mention what happened yesterday."

When Raymond heard Dr. Beth say this, he not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but he was even more alert, because he had a premonition that Dr. Beth should embarrass him even more next.

Sure enough, he soon knew that he was not thinking too much, and things were developing as he thought.

"I know Mr. Raymond, before you got sick, you were a big shot in psychology, and your professionalism in psychology was far above me... To be honest, I have read many of the articles you have published, and I have always admired you very much, and even regarded you as my idol."

"But that doesn't mean you can insult my professionalism at will."

Dr. Beth pushed the silk glasses on the bridge of his nose and said seriously: "My bachelor's degree and master's degree in psychology were obtained at Stanford University. If there was such a professor Rosenhan in the Department of Psychology at Stanford University, and he had done a well-known experiment as you said, I would not have known it."

"So, although Mr. Raymond, your words sound clear and without any problems, and cannot prove that you have really recovered, sorry—"

…………

There is no ‘Rosenhann Experiment’ in this world?!

At this moment, Raymond felt a buzzing sound in his head and could not calm down for a long time.

Isn’t this a way to dig a hole and bury yourself?

Although he was not a big shot in psychology like the original owner of his body in his previous life, as a qualified private detective, he also taught himself psychology for a period of time.

Therefore, the "Rosenhan Experiment" he mentioned before was not made by him, but there was really such an experiment that was very famous in the field of psychology.

This is also why he ran to Doctor Beth with so confidence to start his second battle of wits and courage.

But he never expected that there was no Professor Rosenhan in this world at all!

Of course, there is no "Rosenhann Experiment" he mentioned.

No matter how normal his language logic and sharp his thinking are, he cannot change this ironic fact.

"This is over..."

Raymond, who walked out of the clinic like a walking corpse, suddenly felt that his future life was dark.

It is foreseeable that Dr. Beth will be more prepared for him next, especially after seeing his serious "nonsense" and it is even more difficult to gain trust.

But can he blame this?

Judging from the memory fragments of the original owner of the body, the general development of this world is clearly the same as in the previous life. Even the current North American president is still the same Uncle Oreo as in the previous life.

Who knows that there are so many differences in details?

The "Rosenhan Experiment", which was so famous in the field of psychology in previous lives, never even happened in this world. Who did he ask for reason?

"Hey, Raymond, are you okay? Why is your face so bad?" Just as Raymond felt as if he was so sad that he wanted to slap himself twice, a young voice suddenly came from not far away, interrupting his thoughts.

When he subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came, he saw only a white young man with short hair and blue eyes waving his hands at him, his tone still with a little concern.

"David?"

Raymond almost subconsciously called this name.

As soon as he said that, he was surprised to find that he had actually "knowed" this young man in Lantong whom he should have never met before. His understanding of this young man in Lantong seemed to be from the memory fragments of the original body he received.

Most of the memories of the original owner of the body have been absorbed by him, but this kind of fusion of memories is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it will take a certain amount of time to adapt.

Therefore, the memory fragments from the original owner of the body at this stage will only suddenly appear when he sees specific people and things.

It’s like David, a young blue-eyed man who greeted him at this time, had no impression of him before.

But when he saw the real person, the memories related to it immediately emerged in his mind from the original owner of the body.

From these memories, he could know that the full name of the blue-eyed young David should be David Haller. Like the original owner of the body, he was sent to the hospital because of schizophrenia. The two of them were also suffering from the same illness.

Unlike other types of psychiatric patients, schizophrenia is relatively normal most of the time when they do not switch to secondary personality, and is no different from normal people.

Therefore, in this mental hospital, the original owner of the body and David are among the few patients who can communicate normally.

After a while, the two became friends.

"No, wait!"

When Raymond found out the identity of the blue-eyed young David from the memory fragments, his body suddenly froze!

David Haller?
