Chapter 111 Diagnosis: Perhaps Extremely Dangerous
The next morning, Chi Feichi went to the Hospital for a follow-up examination, and this time he was accompanied by five naughty children and an Old Man.
Brain Inspection, Blood Test, and other Physical Examination items, plus some Scale Test, Chi Feichi was busy for the whole morning.
While three children were watching Chi Feichi take the Test, Doctor Agasa quietly took Conan and Haibara Ai to talk to Zhi Ming Fukuyama.
The two were about the same Age, both around fifty years old, similar Body Shape, round faces and round bellies, and looking at the sparse to non-existent hair on their heads...
They immediately felt a sense of recognition from the bottom of their hearts for each other.
Zhi Ming Fukuyama led the three to the Office to sit down. When asked about Chi Feichi's Illness, he handed a Report to Doctor Agasa, "This is the general Situation of his last follow-up examination. As for more specific confidential Information, I cannot let you see it."
Doctor Agasa took it, and two Little Heads also poked out from the left and right.
In the last follow-up examination, it was confirmed that Chi Feichi's Schizophrenia had recovered. However, for the Auditory Hallucination item, the examining Doctor marked it as Recovery, but Zhi Ming Fukuyama, the Attending Doctor, later gave a 'to be observed' conclusion.
Conan nodded secretly, it seemed that this Attending Doctor was still very reliable.
He could confirm that Chi Feichi's Auditory Hallucination was definitely not cured!
Sometimes Chi Feichi would suddenly start talking to Hissashi, and it wasn't the kind of talking to a Pet that a Normal Person would do, but rather like he heard Hissashi asking something, answering a sentence without beginning or end.
"He has Auditory Hallucination of Animals and Plants talking, is it still suitable for him to keep a Pet?" Haibara Ai asked.
"It doesn't matter, since Auditory Hallucination exists, even if he doesn't keep a Pet, he will have Auditory Hallucination of other Sounds," Zhi Ming Fukuyama reminded, "However, you must not be misled by him. He has strong Insight and a deep Understanding of the State of Animals and animal training. This comes from his chosen University Major and his own Talent. In other words, his Auditory Hallucination is actually his own prior observation and Knowledge, the Information obtained is hidden deep in his Consciousness, and then fed back to him through Auditory Hallucination. As for his Communication with Animals, it is also using taming methods."
Conan took the Document from Doctor Agasa's Hand, flipped through it, and directly sold Chi Feichi out, "Doctor Fukuyama, has Brother Chi's Dissociative Identity Disorder really recovered? His Time Perception Disorder doesn't seem to be better yet, and Auditory Hallucination still exists!"
"Oh? Have you discovered other Personalities?" Zhi Ming Fukuyama took out a Notebook and prepared to Record. He felt that this group of people was really good and could Cooperate.
Haibara Ai shook her Head, "No other Personalities were found, he seems to be the same all the time."
"Hmm..." Zhi Ming Fukuyama lowered his Head and quickly Recorded, "Let me briefly explain to you. Each Personality of a Multiple Personality Disorder Patient is stable, fully developed, and has its own Thinking Pattern and Memory. There are many types of split Personalities, different Gender, Age, Race, and even Species. Personalities take turns occupying the Right of Use of the Body. Personalities may or may not be aware of each other's existence."
As he spoke, Zhi Ming Fukuyama took out a Recorder from the drawer, and then found two Tapes. He put one of the Tapes into the Recorder and skillfully pressed fast forward. It was obvious at a glance that he had listened to it many times.
"Mr. Chi's previous two Personalities were easy to distinguish. You can listen to this."
From the Recorder, came the familiar Sound of Conan and the other two, but the Tone was gentle, making them feel very unfamiliar:
"Doctor Fukuyama, according to what you said, he is a very strong person, that's really good..."
"Yes, haven't you always felt his existence?"
"No, that day I woke up and suddenly found that the Home had been cleaned up. I thought my Mother had come, but I couldn't contact her afterwards, so I went to School as usual. But when class was over, I felt sleepy and slept for a while. When I woke up again, I was already in the Hospital."
"It was a Classmate who found that you seemed to have lost Memory and then contacted the Hospital. At that time, he should have been in control of the Body. Do you want to talk to him?"
"Is it possible? I've tried it these past two days, but it seems... not possible."
"Have you ever thought about eliminating him? If you want to, I can help you."
"Don't eliminate him."
"Don't you want the Right of Use of the Body?"
"No, the Body can be given to him, I just want to chat with him..."
Zhi Ming Fukuyama pressed pause, then changed another Tape, and also pressed fast forward, "Just now that was the Personality of Severe Depression, listen to this one again."
Click.
The Recorder once again emitted Sound, this time it was the cold and detached Tone familiar to Conan and the other two:
"No Memory."
"When you woke up, did you feel strange? Strange about why you were in a certain Place?"
"I was strange at first, but then I Understand."
"Did you feel his existence?"
"I didn't feel it, I just guessed that there was another Consciousness existing in the Body."
"Do you want to eliminate him? If you want to, I can help you."
"...No, as long as he doesn't commit Suicide."
"Don't you want the Dominance of the Body? Sharing a Body with someone else must be very unpleasant, right?"
"He should be more unpleasant."
"Do you think you are an intruder?"
"I guess so."
"Do you want to Communicate with him? How about trying to use the Method of leaving a message in a Notebook?"
"Okay."
Zhi Ming Fukuyama pressed pause again and smiled, "Generally speaking, Personalities will compete for the Dominance of the Body, but they are different. They both think the Body belongs to the other and are willing to Communicate, just like... Friends."
"Friends..." Conan felt a little heavy in his Heart.
Splitting out a Personality to be Friends with oneself, how lonely was Chi Feichi in the past.
"They are willing to Communicate with each other, but not willing to Communicate with me. The chat content on the Notebook was destroyed by them, and I couldn't see it no matter what I tried," Zhi Ming Fukuyama smiled wryly, "But this is a good thing. Under normal circumstances, Multiple Personality Disorder is difficult to cure, and the treatment Time may last for several years. The treatment Method is to find a Personality among the Multiple Personalities who is familiar with other Personalities, let him be the Core Personality, and then let him talk to other Personalities, find Personalities with similar Personalities to integrate first. And his two Personalities recognized each other, and reached a Consensus without my help. Judging from the intention, it should be that the strong Personality will integrate the Personality of Severe Depression."
Conan sorted it out, "In other words, the previous existence of Multiple Personality Disorder was because they didn't know each other's existence. Once they knew, they quickly reached a Consensus and recovered by themselves?"
"Mr. Chi is really..." Doctor Agasa sighed, "Quite amazing!"
"Yes, judging from his past Experience, he has always been an excellent person. Even when he was Ill, he was still remarkable. As a Doctor, I didn't help much," Zhi Ming Fukuyama smiled, "Judging from the results of the last follow-up examination, his two Personalities are well Integrated."
Conan turned to one of the pages, his pupils shrank, put the Document on the table, pointed to a line of Characters and said, "Doctor Fukuyama, why does it say that the Danger Level cannot be judged, perhaps Extremely Dangerous, or perhaps No Danger?"
Possibly Extremely Dangerous, what the heck!
This is clearly a person who worked hard to fight against his Illness and succeeded quickly.
"Because both of his Personalities have Problems. One Personality has Severe Depression, and the Situation of the other Personality is very complicated. He is the only one with the Symptom of Auditory Hallucination. I suspect that this Personality has more than one Mental Illness," Zhi Ming Fukuyama said with a bit of a wry smile, "Actually, at first, I didn't know which Personality to guide to be the Core Personality. I planned to let them Communicate first to alleviate the Problems that existed between them. If Severe Depression was alleviated, I would help the depressed Personality integrate another Personality, or if the Situation of another Personality was clear, and the Personality of Severe Depression could not alleviate the Illness, I would let that Personality be the Core Personality, but... they Integrated too quickly, I was completely unprepared. After Integration, even Severe Depression was cured."
Conan: "..."
Haibara Ai: "..."
Doctor Agasa: "..."
Okay, they Understood.
It's probably that the Doctor wanted to help Chi Feichi treat other Illnesses first, and then choose a suitable Personality to be dominant for Integration. But before the Doctor had chosen, he had already Integrated himself and even self-healed one Illness.
"But this should be a good thing, right?" Haibara Ai asked, "Even if there are other Illnesses, but in the end, the two major Problems of Schizophrenia and Depression have been resolved, right?"
Zhi Ming Fukuyama nodded, "It is a good thing, but it is not related to my Judgment that he may be in Danger. I judged that the Cause of Illness was Family and Childhood Experience, but the Test results show that the current Core Personality, that is, the current him, has no Expectation for his Parents, and no Expectation for visits and Companionship from others."
Doctor Agasa was a little surprised, "No Expectation?"
"Yes, and when watching Movies, the Tragedy Movie that made my Assistant and I cry our eyes out, he didn't feel a thing. Watching a Comedy Movie, he wouldn't laugh either," Zhi Ming Fukuyama frowned, "This is a very bad Situation. I speculate that it is Emotional Detachment, and perhaps there are other Mental Illnesses."
If Chi Feichi were here, he would definitely be speechless. In his opinion, the Plot of those Movies was a bit old-fashioned. He could guess the later development after watching the beginning. How could there be any Emotional fluctuations like this?
"Is it serious?" Doctor Agasa thought for a moment, "Is it a lack of... Emotion towards other people?"
"You could say that," Conan subconsciously interjected, with a very heavy Expression, "People with Emotional Detachment lack corresponding Emotional Response to External Stimuli, are indifferent to Close Friends and Family, lose Interest in Surroundings, have stiff Facial Expression, lack Inner Experience, or have rich Inner Experience but very little is revealed externally, often showing an Expression of indifference to things, holding an attitude of distrust and Dissatisfied with the outside world in their hearts, doubting touching Events, and even refusing to be moved. I think Brother Chi may indeed have Emotional Detachment. Doctor Fukuyama, is your Judgment that he may be Extremely Dangerous because his Body Temperature and Heartbeat are not Abnormality?"
"Little friend, you really know a lot," Zhi Ming Fukuyama was a little surprised. Seeing Doctor Agasa looking at him with a confused Face, he explained, "Emotional Detachment has two pathological Reactions: Physiological and Psychological. People with Physiological Detachment naturally have low Skin Temperature and slow Heart Rate, but Mr. Chi's Body Temperature and Heartbeat are still within the Category of Normal Person, so he should not belong to this Category."
"Then it's Psychological?" Doctor Agasa asked.
Conan said in a deep voice, "Psychological Emotional Detachment is also Extreme Sadistic, with Torture and Murder as the main Behaviors, without Sense of Shame or Sense of Morality for their own Behaviors, manifesting as obvious Antisocial Personality Disorder!"
Doctor Agasa: "..."
Uh... this is a bit terrifying.
