Marvel's Infinite Personalities

"In 1973, Professor Rosenhan of the Department of Psychology at Stanford University conducted a bold experiment. After pretending to be a mental patient, he successfully sneaked into a well-known psychiatric hospital in New York and easily concealed the The doctors at the psychiatric hospital.”

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

"On the other hand, the treatment drugs that the hospital required to take had considerable side effects, making his mental condition worse and worse, and he looked no different from a real mental patient."

"If his wife hadn't arrived in time to rescue him as planned, he might have become mentally ill."

"This is the famous Rosenhan experiment"

"The Rosenhan experiment tells us that even a psychology expert like Professor Rosenhan may not be able to prove to himself that he is not mentally ill. How do you want me to prove it?"

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

, in a certain clinic.

A young man in a blue and white striped patient uniform, who looked to be in his early thirties and could tell at a glance that he was of mixed Asian and white descent, was speaking helplessly.

Sitting opposite him was a white female doctor with blond hair wearing a standard white coat. There was a small silver nameplate hanging on the left side of her chest with her name written on it:

Dr. Caitlin Beth.

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

It wasn't 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 nothing wrong with your performance. Moreover, the speech you just made was quite wonderful. I dare say that the eloquence of most normal people is not as good as yours."

"but"

Raymond knew that after saying this, there would be a but.

"But, you just told me yesterday that you are from China and are a well-known private detective. I don't know why you showed up here when you woke up, right?" Dr. Beth handed over the medical records in her hand. He turned the page and asked while looking at the records in the medical record.

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

Because these words were indeed spoken by him himself, and they cannot be refuted or refuted.

You know, there are surveillance cameras in this clinic. If he insists on being unreasonable, Dr. Beth can take out the surveillance video and slap him in the face in a minute.

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

Yes, time travel meets time travel again.

Although the term time travel is already familiar to him, an old bookworm on the Internet, but when anyone wakes up and finds that he has been imprisoned in a mental hospital, his first reaction is not likely to guess that he has actually traveled through time.

What's more, there were no mirrors or anything in the ward. He was so frightened and angry that he didn't even realize that his body was no longer the same. He just wanted to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible.

It wasn't until he communicated with Dr. Beth for the first time that he discovered the truth.

That night, some memory fragments belonging to the original owner of the body gradually appeared in his mind, and he knew his current situation, the identity and experience of the original owner of the body, etc.

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

Even if he wanted to change his mind, it was too late.

Therefore, in Dr. Beth's eyes, he should be a sub-personality who fantasizes about being a famous private detective from China.

To be honest, Raymond was not surprised that Dr. Beth would make such a judgment. The reason why the original owner of the body was sent to this mental hospital was because of schizophrenia.

Besides, for a person like Dr. Beth who deals with mental patients all day long, it’s really not that strange to have a secondary personality that imagines himself as a private detective from China.

Compared to those mentally ill people who constantly call themselves God, Satan, and aliens, what does a Chinese private detective mean?

Sprinkle some water~~~

But this means that Raymond is now unable to gain the trust of Dr. Beth, nor can he convince Dr. Beth that he has really recovered.

After all, he couldn't really say that he was a time traveler.

Let’s not talk about whether he can convince Dr. Beth. To say the least, even if he could, he would never dare to do it.

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

Although he is still not sure which version of the Marvel world he is currently in, he knows.

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

Once he foolishly says that he is a time traveler from outside this world, and if people believe this, God knows how many overt and covert supernatural forces will come to try to get his way.

Therefore, this is an absolutely unworkable approach and should not be considered at all.

Rather than that, he would rather stay in a mental hospital than be used as a guinea pig.

But aside from this method, he really couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, so he could only rack his brains to match wits with Dr. Beth in an attempt to pass the test in a cute way.

Unfortunately, Dr. Beth was much more difficult to deal with than he expected.

p

"I can explain what happened yesterday." When Dr. Beth mentioned what happened yesterday, Raymond had no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare to deal with the not-so-splendid excuse he had thought up in advance.

But he didn't expect Dr. Beth to interrupt before he could finish his words: "Then let's not mention what happened yesterday."

Hearing Dr. Beth say this, Raymond not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became more vigilant because he had a premonition that Dr. Beth would embarrass him even more next time.

Sure enough, he soon realized that he didn't think much about it, and things developed just as he thought.

"I know that Mr. Raymond, you were also a big figure in the field of psychology before you fell ill. Your professional level in psychology is far superior to mine. To be honest, I have read many of the articles you have published. I have always admired you and even regarded you as my idol.”

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

Dr. Beth pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and said with a serious face: "My bachelor's degree and master's degree in psychology were both obtained at Stanford University. If the psychology department of Stanford University had ever really had such a If Professor Rosenhan has done such a famous experiment as you mentioned, it is impossible for me not to know about it."

"Therefore, although Mr. Raymond, your words sound logical and without any problems, it does not prove that you have really recovered. I'm sorry."

There is no Rosenhan experiment in this world

At this moment, Raymond only felt his head was buzzing, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Isn’t this like digging a hole to bury yourself?

Although he was not a big figure in the field of psychology like the original owner of the body in his previous life, as a qualified private detective, he also studied psychology on his own for a period of time.

Therefore, the Rosenhan experiment he mentioned before was not something he made up, but there really was such a famous experiment in the field of psychology.

This is also the reason why he ran so confidently to start a second battle of wits with Dr. Beth.

But he never expected that there was no such person as Professor Rosenhan in this world.

Naturally, there would be no Rosenhan experiment he mentioned.

No matter how normal his language and logic is, no matter how sharp his thinking is, it cannot change this ironclad fact.

"It's over now"

Raymond, who walked out of the consulting room like a zombie, suddenly felt that his life would be gloomy from now on.

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

But can you blame him?

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 president of North America is still the same Uncle Oreo as in the previous life.

Who knew there were so many differences in details?

The Rosenhan experiment, which is so well-known in the field of past life psychology, has never happened in this world. Who should he find to reason with?

"Hey, Raymond, are you okay? Why do you look so bad?" Just when Raymond was heartbroken and wanted to slap himself twice, a young voice suddenly came from not far away, interrupting his thoughts.

When he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, he saw a short-haired, blue-eyed white young man waving to him, with a hint of concern in his tone.

"David"

Raymond almost subconsciously called out the name.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was shocked to find that he actually knew this blue-eyed young man who he had never met before, and his knowledge of this blue-eyed young man seemed to come from the memory fragments of the original owner of the body he had received.

In fact, most of the memory of the original owner of the body has been absorbed by him, but after all, this fusion of memories is not something that happens overnight, and it will take some time to adapt.

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

Just like the blue-eyed young man David who greeted him at this time, he had no impression of him before.

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

From these memories, he could learn that the full name of the blue-eyed young man 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 could be considered to have the same disease.

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

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

After going back and forth, the two became friends.

"No, wait"

When Raymond figured out the identity of the blue-eyed young man David from the memory fragments, his body suddenly stiffened.

David Haller

Damn it, could it be that David Haller?
