Luo Nan maintained his absent-minded state all the way until Octopus opened the health pod.
"Aiyo, it's not easy to fool them. They are half experts in this field."
Octopus took off his decorative glasses and fanned himself with the flexible screen to express his feelings of hardship. "It's over for the time being. They only said that the symptoms were not obvious at the moment and did not dare to deny it completely. Otherwise, they would definitely take him to another hospital. Alright, I admit that it's not safe even now. Be prepared. "
… That's right.
Luo Nan was a bit at a loss. How could he prepare for this? In the days to come, he would be treated as a schizophrenic by his aunt and uncle?
Octopus saw Luo Nan's depressed mood and chuckled: "Don't get tangled up. In a certain sense, they weren't wrong. You know, from a certain perspective, every ability user has schizophrenia. "
Luo Nan raised his head in shock.
"That's not what I said, it's President Ouyang's wise opinion. Ouyang Chen, do you know President Ouyang?"
"Yes, the one who invented the HexaEar."
"Yes, that's him. He was the one and only registered Extraordinaire in the Xia City Society. He started with the mental enhancement, and he was the absolute authority in this field. You're also a spiritually enhanced type. You can learn from him later. "
Octopus clearly admired President Ouyang very much. He gave Luo Nan an introduction before saying:
"President Ouyang once said that as an ability user, we often need a set of logic in the normal world and another set of logic in the 'Inner World.' Moreover, every Awakened should also have their own set of logic.
"The logic of the normal world helps you avoid making a joke out of your basic daily life. It allows you to act according to the rules of law and morals. It also teaches you simple principles of socializing and working, allowing you to become a normal human being …"
Luo Nan went, "Oh." He discovered that this definition was very similar to the Social Format. Of course, any sociological theory would have similar concepts.
"As for the 'inner world' logic, it's the logic of a small circle of ability users. Things like revering strength, focusing on one's own strength, and using one's abilities to differentiate between superior and inferior classes. Originally, it was very simple. He just had to fool around in his own circle, like the MMA Association?
"But the problem is that the Inner World has a strong influence on the Normal World. This causes the logic of the Inner World to distort the logic of the real world … Well, isn't it like schizophrenia? Hmm, or should I say, the epitome of all mental illness? "
Luo Nan nodded: "It's a bit similar."
"Of course they look alike! If there is a difference, it is that psychopaths cannot use their logic to affect reality. Their logic is illusory, fragile, and absurd. But we can, and our logic has become the rule that a considerable number of people must recognize. "
Octopus made a horizontal gesture. "If we were to apply this principle to 'Self-Logic' – remember, President Ouyang suggested that every Awakened should have a set of 'Self-Logic'."
Luo Nan inexplicably sucked in a breath. He felt a certain feeling of deja vu. It was like a gradually rising tide, flooding his chest, his nose, and his head.
Octopus continued, "The so-called 'self-logic' is a set of self-consistent theories that ability users use to explain their own abilities — as long as you can form a complete logical chain from beginning to end, and can actually verify it, then no matter how ridiculous it is, it's possible.
"Just like those madmen in the Secret Orders … Their actions are absurd, but it doesn't affect their strength. It's because they have an internal logic, and use this logic to successfully distort the external world."
"We can also give an example — your grandfather, Mr. Luo Yuandao, is that okay?"
Luo Nan was silent.
Octopus continued to speak like this, "I've seen your grandfather's symptoms. Disregarding the pathological changes in his nervous system, he is the typical manifestation of 'Self-Logic' being unable to defeat 'External Logic'. If he really does possess an extremely powerful strength that can affect the entire universe, then he is correct! It is appropriate to say that he is the center of the universe, the truth of the world. "
"But in reality, it is impossible to possess this level of strength. Therefore, us ability users cannot fall into delusions. We must abide by reality. We must ponder and revise our internal logic according to our true level of strength. This is so that our logic can be perfectly realized in the external world. "
Octopus was a bit tired from speaking so much in a single breath. He spread his hands and concluded:
"From this point of view, every ability user is a psychopath who attempts to use 'Self-Logic' to distort objective reality. In addition to the dual influence of the logic of the normal world and the logic of the inner world, it is hard for us to avoid being tired. Therefore, some people want to 'push down the wall', allowing normal people to adapt to the existence of ability users, allowing ability users to dominate this world. There are also people who completely ignore it, don't care, and don't come into contact with it. Even more extreme are those who don't recognize the logic of the normal world. They don't treat 'non-ability users' as people. There are also those who kill. "
"Oh, it's quite unfortunate that you entered this enormous mental hospital at such a young age. You can only suffer a bit more. If you must make a suggestion, it would be better for you to rely on the logic of the inner world. This can be considered a type of compromise. After all, you aren't an Awakened yet. You have developed 'Self-Logic' early on. Perhaps you really will become crazy. And if you follow the logic of the normal world, you will be far too clumsy.
"Therefore, participate in a few more Society activities. Get to know a few more friends. Form your own circle. You will slowly adapt. Mm. This can be considered a piece of advice from senior. "
Luo Nan's brain was stuffed with a lump of 'logic'. His brain was more or less muddled. But he could see that Brother Octopus was a warm-hearted person. These words were admittedly a bit mysterious, but they were very helpful to him. Brother Octopus really did want to enlighten him, so Luo Nan immediately expressed his thanks.
Octopus chuckled and waved his hand: "No need to be polite. It's quite hard to get a chance to curry favor with a psychic. Just don't let me charge too far to the front when we move in the future … … I'm just a Pharmacist. I'm not cut out to charge and break through enemy lines. "
Of course, this was just a joke. But Luo Nan suddenly thought of a matter that had been hanging in his mind since a long time ago when he heard Octopus mention a Pharmacist. He muttered to himself for a moment and then said:
"Brother Octopus has done a lot of research in compounding psychotropic drugs? Then do you accept orders? "
"Of course I accept. It's fine as long as you explain the use clearly."
Octopus responded smoothly, but then he was startled. He changed his expression and sized up Luo Nan up from head to toe. He even rubbed his chin and muttered to himself for a while before speaking once more:
"Mm. Especially for a minor like you. You need to explain even more clearly … … Don't tell me you have some sort of bad habit?"
Luo Nan didn't respond directly. He focused slightly and transmitted a molecular formula to Octopus through the HexaEar: "I want to compound this drug. Can I?"
