Of course, they couldn't just do nothing and release a potentially high-risk mixed-race person from the mental hospital.
Masashi Tomiyama took out half a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet in the corner of the room, humming a light Showa tune, and poured half a glass for everyone.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya also took out the leftover fried pancake strips from the refrigerator, divided them into four portions, and put them in the microwave to heat up.
"If I'm not mistaken, that bottle should be the 00 vintage Château Margaux from France that we didn't finish last time. The French grapes grew particularly well that year."
Dean Guderian sat down at the long table next to the monitor, his straight nose twitching slightly, and said, "The last time you opened this bottle of wine was before Gao Kui's third episode."
I remember it very clearly. At the time, you said with certainty that Gao Kui's condition was under effective control and that you should open a bottle of red wine to celebrate.
Not long after, our Northern Qi prince Gao Kui became the Japanese male high school student Ouma Shujo, and even gained a non-existent girlfriend, Yuzuriha Inori.
The title "Prince of Northern Qi" is a playful reference to Gao Kui's background by Guderian and others.
Don't jinx it!
Masashi Tomiyama walked to the long table with his wine glass and sat down, pushing one of the glasses towards Professor Guderian with an undisguised ease in his voice.
“This time is different from the last time. I am willing to use my reputation of more than ten years in the industry to guarantee that our Northern Qi prince has truly recovered this time.”
Even if he has some mental instability, those are just common psychological problems and characteristics among mixed-race individuals, and are insignificant.
Mixed-race individuals often suffer from some form of mental illness, but Gao Kui's symptoms were particularly severe, to the point of near collapse.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya presented the freshly heated, inexpensive fried pancake strips to Dean Guderian and Director Tomiyama Masafumi, and sat down at the long table to join the discussion.
"But Professor Tomiyama, his condition seems very serious, and when he answered your question at the end, he clearly lied."
He said he wasn't very convinced of what he imagined, but looking at his eyes just now, I could tell he was quite certain about certain things.
The signs of illness are so obvious, how can you just let him leave like this?
Ye Sheng's eyes were filled with worry, and he couldn't figure it out.
Gao Kui thought his lie had fooled everyone, but in reality, he had fooled no one, including Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya, the two young interns who had just joined the executive department.
He is not a good liar.
"This time is different. It is precisely because he is so certain and convinced that it proves that his mental state is normal!"
Masashi Toyama threw out a thought-provoking point of view, took a sip of expensive red wine, stuffed a mouthful of fried pancake strips into his mouth, and chewed as he explained to everyone.
"He mentioned dragons, hybrids, and the power of words. If an ordinary person mentions these things and firmly believes in them, then he must be mentally deranged."
However, Gao Kui is a mixed-race individual, a high-grade mixed-race individual whose bloodline is suspected to be above grade A, according to the principal. His bloodline can be traced back to the Gao family of the Northern Qi Dynasty 1,500 years ago in China.
In general, hybrids need to be summoned by the Word of Power Emperor to resonate with the dragon runes in order to gain spiritual vision.
However, someone of such high bloodline as Gao Kui would have a high chance of spontaneously developing spiritual visions and seeing all sorts of incredible sights, even without being summoned by the Emperor of Words.
Therefore, Gao Kui's condition this time was not due to an illness, but rather a spontaneous development of spiritual vision, and his bloodline will soon awaken.
His unwavering belief stemmed from the fact that information about dragons and hybrids wasn't merely his previous imagination, but rather a vision he had obtained through his spiritual insight!
It's completely transparent.
Dean Guderian, Ye Sheng, and Jiu Deyaji were not stupid. As mixed-race individuals, their thinking abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people.
After hearing Masashi Tomiyama's explanation, the group immediately understood and, following the point about spiritual vision and Gao Kui's words, expanded their thinking to add more details.
"The so-called soul travel from one world to another is nothing more than the subconscious resistance and sense of unreality that arises when one suddenly sees the true face of the world."
When you first developed clairvoyance and saw only a glimpse of the real world, did you also experience a dreamlike feeling, almost like you were traveling through time?
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya nodded slightly, agreeing that it was indeed the case.
Suddenly realizing that he was different from ordinary people because he had dragon blood, and that dragons, these fantastical creatures and hybrids, existed in this world, his worldview and philosophy of life, built up over the past ten years, collapsed like twin towers...
It is a normal psychological activity to doubt oneself and deny the world.
Masashi Tomiyama spoke rapidly as he continued to analyze Kakui's thinking: "The idea that the world is a book and everything is just a story written in the book is a very normal form of wild speculation. It may be chaotic, but it is completely insignificant."
Judging whether a person's mental state is normal is not about what kind of wild thoughts they have, but about whether they can distinguish between reality and fantasy.
Based on my many years of professional experience, I can clearly see that Gao Kui affirmed part of this fantasy while denying part of it.
The affirmative part needs no further explanation; it's naturally due to the incredible sights seen through spiritual vision. The negative part, which can be analyzed as fantasy, is naturally the part that believes themselves to be a time traveler and that the world is a book.
He can tell that this thought is false, so it doesn't count as an illness; he's perfectly normal right now.
"What about the characters Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei in the story?" asked Jiu Deya, who was not very familiar with Gao Kui's social circle.
"Chu Zihang is his classmate, and Lu Mingfei is a student in their school who is one year below him."
Professor Guderian, who had long since memorized the names of all the students in the senior and junior high sections of Shilan Middle School, cheerfully filled in any gaps in his knowledge.
"Perhaps there was something about these two students that attracted Gao Kui, which is why he incorporated them into his fantasy, just like most people dream."
The same applies to the Kassel College in the story; we used the name Kassel when we built this mental hospital.
His fantasy about the Kassel Dragon-Slaying School was simply a normal occurrence, a case of what one thinks about during the day and dreams about at night.
After all, humans cannot imagine things they do not understand, and the same is true for hybrids. When we fantasize and dream, don't we always use the people or things around us as material?
It was just a lucky accident.
"What about that song called 'Fireworks Fade Easily'? I don't remember Jay Chou ever making such a work. In fact, I just checked, and there isn't such a song anywhere in the world."
Ye Sheng put down his phone; this was the only part that didn't match up.
"A genius, he is undoubtedly a genius!"
Dean Guderian clapped his hands, his tone becoming increasingly cheerful and joyful, and explained without hesitation: "The talent of hybrids is not simply reflected in their physique and speech power."
In fact, the talents of mixed-race individuals are manifested in every aspect compared to ordinary people. The vast majority of artists who have left behind masterpieces in history have dragon blood.
For example, Mozart composed a symphony at age 6, a sonata at age 8, and wrote his first opera at age 11.
Gao Kui is a hybrid whose bloodline may surpass Grade A. Even if his bloodline has not yet truly awakened, it is quite normal for him to suddenly be inspired to create a popular song.
However, the timing of this inspiration was too close to the time of his psychic vision, and the song's style was similar to Jay Chou's. It's possible the inspiration came from Jay Chou's traditional Chinese style songs, which led him to subconsciously believe it was a work by Jay Chou from another world.
It matches perfectly, all of them match perfectly!
After a discussion, the group clarified all the details and suddenly understood.
"Gao Kui's mental state has stabilized and his mental illness has been effectively controlled. Apart from occasional auditory hallucinations, insomnia, racing thoughts, and mental instability, he is now no different from a normal person."
Masashi Tomiyama concluded: "At present, it would be an exaggeration to say that Gao Kui is a normal person, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a normal mixed-race person."
Mixed-race individuals often have some degree of psychological issues, but as long as they are within manageable limits, they don't require excessive attention.
Guderian and the others nodded slightly, agreeing with Masafumi Tomiyama's conclusion.
Is he mentally unstable?
It's normal that you're mentally unstable!
Which of the mixed-race individuals in Kassel has a completely normal mental state?
The Executive Department, the Equipment Department, Principal Angers... In the entire city of Kassel, most of the mixed-race people are considered madmen by ordinary people.
How can one dance with a dragon without going crazy?
Mental state is not a particularly sensitive issue in Kassel, unlike the bloodline threshold, where any slight sign of being out of control would be a major concern for the school.
Gao Kui's mental state was just a bit abnormal before; his bloodline was actually quite stable, at least the principal said that Gao Kui's bloodline was very stable.
"Does this mean that our mission is finally coming to an end, and that we will be able to recruit Gao Kui into Kassel soon?"
Professor Guderian's eyes welled with tears, and his hands trembled slightly.
Four years. I waited for a full four years. Do you know how I spent those four years?
He certainly wouldn't be permanently based in FZ City, but Professor Guderian has frequently traveled between Chicago, USA and FZ City, China over the past four years.
After teaching that monstrous beast Fingel in Kassel, Principal Angers immediately used the promise that curing Gao Kui would allow him to be his teacher to keep him in check. He then flew over here without stopping, bringing a team of executive department members who were playing the role of mentally ill people to act alongside Gao Kui, the real mentally ill person.
Four years, a full four years, and I, Guderian, have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel!
If this continues, it's uncertain whether Gao Kui's mental illness can be controlled. Guderian felt that he would definitely be driven to mental illness by the torment.
After a moment's thought, Masafumi Toyama gave Professor Guderian an affirmative answer: "Theoretically speaking, yes."
Gao Kui's mental state is now stabilizing, he has regained his spiritual vision, and he's about to graduate high school. After we report to Principal Angers, we can begin preparations for recruiting Gao Kui.
"Hahaha, it's done! I, Guderian, am finally going to become a tenured professor!"
Professor Guderian downed half a glass of red wine and, like Leslie Cheung in "In the Mood for Love," swayed his tall body and danced a lively tango in the monitoring room filled with files and computers.
He laughed wildly with relief, but as he laughed, tears streamed down his face.
After taking a few turns, Guderian quickly got busy, writing a report to submit to Principal Angers, planning Gao Kui's training program after entering the school, and hopefully getting that bastard Fingel to introduce his junior to a caring and considerate girlfriend; mental patients need care...
The three of them, including Masashi Tomiyama, looked at Professor Guderian with pity. It must have been really tough for Professor Guderian to have such a monstrous creature as Fingel.
After a brief moment of melancholy, the three immediately went over to help Professor Guderian.
On the other side, Gao Kui also returned to his rented bungalow.
Orphanages typically only care for orphans until they are 14 years old, after which they implement long-term programs to help them become independent. Coincidentally, Gao Kui was diagnosed with mental illness when he was almost 14.
He moved from the orphanage to the mental hospital almost seamlessly.
After staying at the Kassel Psychological Research Center for several months and having his initial illness brought under control, Gao Kui moved out to continue his studies. This bungalow was rented for him by Dean Guderian and his colleagues.
Of course, the subsequent second, third, and fourth visits to the palace are another story altogether.
Most people with schizophrenia become less hygienic, but Kao Kui is an exception.
The small, less than 20-square-meter bungalow contains a microwave oven, a single bed, a second-hand refrigerator, and a well-maintained Apple MacBook, among other furniture and appliances. It is generally tidy.
The Apple MacBook looked out of place among the other old and cheap furniture and appliances in the room. When it was first released in 06, its starting price of over a thousand US dollars was not something Gao Kui could afford.
But this computer inexplicably appeared in his home in 06, seemingly as a parting gift from someone.
Who would give him such an expensive gift?
Gao Kui doesn't remember, he doesn't remember at all, at least Dean Guderian said it wasn't them.
I put away the slightly faded shirts and trousers from the hanger, took out eggs, scallions, and noodles from the refrigerator, and made a simple egg noodle dish for dinner.
After a quick dinner and washing up, Gao Kui planned to go to bed. He had classes the next day, and to ensure his learning efficiency for the final sprint before the college entrance examination, he had to make sure he got enough sleep.
Although it was only a little before 18 p.m., Gao Kui couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't suddenly experience auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, or insomnia in the middle of the night, so it was better to go to sleep early.
I take my medicine before bed, as I have done every day before.
