Is the End Really Coming?

"The camera is off?"

In the interrogation room, Zhou Qi asked with great interest.

Zhang Xiansheng laughed dumbly: "You know everything."

But then he shook his head again and said, "The camera is not off. I just made a normal record just now. Now is the time to get down to business."

"..." Zhou Qi looked at the cameras scattered in several corners: "So?"

"So," Zhang Xiansheng pointed to the direction of the wall, "now there are a group of experts and professors standing outside. You know, they are all psychology majors."

"Oh..." Zhou Qi heard the words with a clear expression.

In the past, when he dealt with the country, he had to have such a link.

Because "Doomsday" itself is an unfalsifiable proposition, no matter what method he uses to prove or explain it, the state will not believe it. There will always be a strict proof process... Well, that is to arrest him, interrogate him, ask Words and the like, and let a lot of psychologists analyze whether he is lying and whether he has any other purpose...

This caused Zhou Qi to spend a lot of time and experience, racking his brains to deal with the official.

All kinds of psychological games, all kinds of routines and traps.

And then slowly build up trust in the run-in and confrontation again and again...

Therefore, Zhou Qi developed on his own in most cases.

Not because of blind self-confidence, or because the pattern is too small.

It's because, when the result has already been determined, it's too tiring to do that...

At this point, Zhou Qi's eyes regained focus, then he moved his buttocks and asked, "Can you still talk about healing?"

"..." Zhang Xiansheng has been staring at him quietly. Hearing this, his expression did not change, but his eyes suddenly became much deeper.

"If I can say it, I'm qualified to listen." Zhang Xiansheng said slowly.

Zhou Qi pondered for a while: "What's wrong with you?"

"Stomach signet ring cell cancer. It was discovered just a month ago. It's at an advanced stage." Zhang Xiansheng's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but after he finished speaking, he paused and said, "Only conditional. If you don't allow it, don't say it, you have to say something that is real and useful."

It means that if the disease must be cured because of the changes in the world after the apocalypse, then there is no need to say it. What Zhou Qi has to do now is to prove his worth in the "normal world".

"Is that so..." Zhou Qi showed a thoughtful expression.

"..." Zhang Xiansheng stared at him.

"I remember, there is a way." After a few seconds, Zhou Qi said with a serious face: "Can you give me a glass of water first? Any water will do, but it has to be boiled, not raw water."

Zhang Xiansheng glanced at the camera, "Well, someone will hear it, and it will be delivered right away. What else?"

"Gone."

"No more? Just a glass of water?"

"Yes, but my requirement is that after the water is delivered, the camera must be turned off to ensure that no one knows what happened here, and it will be turned on again after a minute."

"..." Zhang Xiansheng's expression was a little wrong, "What are you going to do?"

"I'll treat you, and I'll make sure that the medicine will cure you."

"Give me a glass of water to heal me? Are you fooling a ghost here?"

"Okay, it's time to explain." Zhou Qi leaned forward and asked mysteriously, "Do you know the placebo effect?"

"?" Zhang Xiansheng showed doubts on his face, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Qi: "To put it simply, you must first believe that this glass of water can cure you."

Zhang Xiansheng: "???"

Seeing that his face was wrong, Zhou Qi quickly added: "That is to say, I will give you a hypnosis first... It doesn't matter if you don't know what it is, it will save you some effort later, but there must be some outsiders who know about it, so I will treat it later. When it's over, you can ask them."

"…"

Zhang Xiansheng frowned, fell silent, and nodded very slowly.

…

At the same time, the spacious hall, in front of the big monitoring screen, also fell into a strange atmosphere.

At this moment, the hall is full of people of all kinds, roughly divided into two groups, one group is a group of experts, professors, and doctors with a more old-fashioned temperament and image, they are carefully staring at the various details of Zhou Qi in the interrogation room. Stop recording, analyzing, discussing.

Su Zhiyun was also among them, but she didn't participate in any topic, she just sat on the edge, leaning her chin, watching quietly.

The other gang is the police officers in uniform, including ordinary police officers and some senior cadres.

At this moment, in the gang of the Public Security Bureau,

An uncle from Mediterranean Sea who seemed to have a bad temper couldn't hold back: "What kind of thing, it's a waste of time... Stop the trial, and quickly lock him up!"

He is the director of Zhonghai City Public Security Bureau.

After saying those words with a dark face, he was about to turn around and leave.

But then someone stopped him: "Director, why don't you look at it again, what if it really works?"

"Yes, Director, no matter what, this kid is really special, we must give him a chance..."

"..." The director of Mediterranean Sea had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and scolded when he opened his mouth: "Are you out of your mind? Do you even dare to believe such a thing? If you have this skill, it is better to go to the temple and put incense sticks!"

Several police officers around wanted to say something, but looked at each other and sighed.

Usually, the one who has the best relationship with Team Zhang is the director. Now, knowing that the other party has a terminal illness, the director must feel very uncomfortable...

However, they are also suffering.

"It's true that advanced gastric cancer is still the most intractable signet ring cell cancer... How can it be cured so easily?"

"What that kid said is mysterious, but it's actually psychotherapy... It's used in major hospitals, but it's really just like that, and the effect is very mediocre."

"Oh, you said, it's really good luck, that Lao Zhang would have this kind of disease... I asked before, and he said that he had a little stomach problem."

"His wife and children probably don't know yet."

"Yeah, but, without this kid, we wouldn't know..."

At this moment, a thin-looking senior cadre said slowly: "Liu Bureau, let's listen first. Locking this kid up is not just to ask him how to treat his illness, but to consider the overall situation."

The director of the Mediterranean Sea said angrily: "The big picture! I think this kid is playing tricks!"

The older cadre looked at him and his eyes sank: "Director Liu, do you usually have such a violent attitude towards prisoners?"

"..." The director of Mediterranean Sea froze for a moment, and then realized that he was so dizzy that he dared to talk to the director like that.

He calmed down, and although he was still a little angry, he finally waved his hand: "Okay, look, look, I'll see how long this kid can pretend."

After speaking, he folded his arms and continued to look.

…

At this moment, in the interrogation room, the two were already chatting.

Zhang Xiansheng asked in a casual tone, all of which sounded very common.

"What kind of girl do you like?" "What do you want to do in the future?" "Do you have a lot of contact with your family?"

Zhou Qi was quite interested, speaking in a straightforward manner.

but…

Those experts and professors who were observing outside, frowned more and more tightly...

at this time.

The door of the interrogation room was pushed open.

The policewoman who took the notes before walked in with a pot of steaming hot water and an empty glass.

Zhou Qi had a black line on his face: "Why is it boiled water? Why is it just a cup? How can I drink it?"

"??" The policewoman made a move.

Zhang Xiansheng was also stunned: "You want to drink too?"

"Sure, I've been sitting for so long, and I haven't had a sip of water..." Zhou Qi said with a dissatisfied expression, but then he saw the increasingly unkind eyes of the two policemen, and immediately changed the conversation: "I mean I mean, how can your captain drink this boiling water? Are you trying to scald him to death? Let me tell you, your stomach cancer has been cured, and esophageal cancer has come. "

"…"

The policewoman was a little embarrassed and looked at Zhang Xiansheng.

Zhang Xiansheng waved his hand: "It's fine, just let it cool down."

The policewoman glared at Zhou Qi and walked out.

When Zhou Qi saw this, he could only say angrily: "Okay, let's turn off the surveillance first."

Zhang Xiansheng frowned: "Shut down now?"

"Well, I've already prepared it. I can't wait any longer. Turn it off now, and then in a minute... Oh, the hot water will cool down for a while, so wait three minutes before turning it on again."

"..." Zhang Xiansheng glanced at the camera.

Outside the interrogation room.

The thin-looking director put his hands behind his back and said, "Close it."

The director of Mediterranean Sea immediately retorted: "No, it can't be closed! This kid is too unreliable! What if there is an accident?"

The director said: "If the special prisoner's chair and alloy handcuffs can't stop him, it doesn't make sense to close him or not."

The director said stubbornly: "But, this is against the rules!"

The other police officers joined in.

"Yes, it's not in compliance with the rules."

The director shook his head: "The rules don't work here, we can't treat it with common sense."

Another humane said: "There's no need to close it... He doesn't know whether we close it or not."

But the director said calmly, "No, he knows."

When everyone was puzzled, the director continued: "Do you remember the question that Captain Zhang asked after he went in and said that?"

An old criminal policeman heard the words and said, "You mean... 'The camera is off?' This sentence?"

"Yes," the director nodded slightly: "When he asked this sentence, the expression on his face was very interesting. It seemed that he was waiting for Zhang Xiansheng to say 'closed', and then he couldn't wait to show something, but Zhang Xiansheng should also look at it. After that, Kaicheng announced that he had told the truth, and then he quieted down."

"Oh..." Some police officers suddenly realized that they were still puzzled before, why did Team Zhang tell the truth directly after entering.

If they were there, they would definitely start fooling around as soon as they entered.

The director continued: "Besides, there are three cameras in the interrogation room. Only one was turned on when taking the transcript, and he only looked at that one. Now all three are turned on, and he has seen them all."

"Hi..." A group of people gasped.

And hearing this, the operator on the side silently turned off the cameras.

In an instant, they lost all the pictures and sounds of the interrogation room.

For a while, the hall was a little depressed.

Many police officers began to discuss in a low voice, "Can a cup of boiling water cure cancer?"

at this time.

A handsome man with golden glasses came out of the gang of experts,

He smiled and said: "Actually, this method is really possible to succeed. After all, in the medical field, there has always been psychotherapy, among which the most miraculous effect is cancer, as long as the patient is willing to believe that he can be cured, and face it with a positive and optimistic attitude Every day, most of the cancer cells are killed."

As soon as this statement came out.

Immediately attracted the attention of the police officers.

The director of the Mediterranean Sea also looked over in surprise.

Someone asked: "Everyone knows this, but this is obviously not a safe and practical way, right?"

Someone agrees: "Yes, this kind of thing is easy to say, but it needs to be combined with drug treatment, and the effect is not necessarily good..."

"No matter how much psychotherapy is used, in this environment, a glass of water can cure it? Then what's the use of a doctor..."

The handsome man smiled noncommittally and continued: "It's a bit exaggerated, but it's not impossible... Do you know why this method doesn't work well? The crux of the problem is that cancer has become a problem in everyone's cognition. It is very difficult to overcome this mentality after a terminal illness, so it cannot be widely used."

Immediately someone asked, "That is to say... as long as you find a way to convince Team Zhang that 'cancer is curable', that's all it takes?"

The handsome man nodded slightly: "Yes, in a nutshell, so the focus is not on the glass of water, but on how to hypnotize Captain Zhang. This may sound outrageous, but it is scientifically based, and it has spread to many fields. , psychological, spiritual, biological, etc... We psychiatrists occasionally encounter this situation."

The police officers looked at each other: "This is too evil to say."

The handsome man smiled: "It's not evil, it's just that it's hard for ordinary people to get in touch. Like you said, this method also needs to be combined with physical therapy. Ordinary people can't even afford medicines, so how can they have the money to find them? What about a psychiatrist for treatment? So, this is actually not a matter of probability, if conditions permit, this is a miracle that can inevitably happen.”

"So what?" Director Liu of Mediterranean Sea frowned: "After talking so much, is this kid reliable?"

"..." The handsome man was silent for a while, and then he looked back at the experts whose faces were not very good-looking, and said slowly, "I don't know."

The director's face was ugly again: "I don't know?"

Said a lot, UU reading www.uukanshu.com finally came to do not know?

Are you kidding me here?

At this moment, the handsome man sighed: "Yes, in theory, there is a possibility of miracles, but at present, no one has been able to hypnotize people perfectly... The only thing we can conclude now is that he is very hypnotized. With self-confidence, we can't trace where his self-confidence came from, and we don't know how far he can achieve... In fact, we really can't be sure of him, we can't see anything useful at all from his words and deeds. Information, he...how to say it, in my opinion, his behavior, aimless, is pure play."

At this time, other experts also noticed the conversation here.

Someone came up: "Yes, in a way, he is like a... child."

Someone agrees: "Yes, a child who doesn't understand anything, acts without any scruples, does whatever he wants, and says whatever he wants."

"But it's not exactly like it, because the child seems to have no purpose, but it is also driven by instinct."

"I think so."

Some people have discussed this issue.

Suddenly, Su Zhiyun in the corner said, "Does that look like an old man? One has lived for many, many years, seen many, many things, has no desires, has no scruples, is like a child... an old man?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone was silent.

"It seems... yes."

"I remember, he said, that he was reborn hundreds of times?"

"As the saying goes, a man is a boy until he dies..."

"…"

At this moment, someone asked:

"It seems... three minutes have passed?"
