Chapter 1622 Mass Hysteria

Zheng Ren and Su Yun were changing clothes in the locker room, Zheng Ren was always silent.

"What do you think?" Su Yun asked.

"Children's sickness."

"Do you want to be shameless?" Su Yun asked contemptuously: "Just a few years after graduation, the children are called by the children. Is that what you can call?"

"When I was hospitalized for one year, I felt a lot older." Zheng Ren said.

"It's only been a few months, not even half a year." Su Yun corrected the language in Zheng Ren's words.

"Don't make trouble, you don't have any problems, but you are nauseated and vomited. Have you ever seen a similar case?" Zheng Ren asked.

"I've seen it alone, and you have seen it too. Isn't it just hysteria." Su Yun obviously thought a lot.

When chatting with Zheng Ren, you can say anything out of your mind. If he said this in front of other people, even if it was Zhou Litao...or even Director Pan, he would not say it.

Hysteria, also known as dissociative conversion disorder.

It is a mental disorder caused by mental factors, such as life events, inner conflict, suggestion or auto-suggestion, acting on susceptible individuals.

The main manifestations of hysteria are dissociative symptoms and conversion symptoms. And its symptoms are functional, so psychotherapy plays an important role.

In the emergency department, patients with hysteria are often encountered, such as the girl who imagined her pregnancy in Haicheng.

But if two or three people had seizures at the same time, let alone hundreds of students from Imperial Medical University who had seizures at the same time.

After Su Yun finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and threw it to Zheng Ren.

"Don't think about it, just walk and watch." Su Yun said.

But Zheng Ren didn't pick up the cigarette he threw, it fell on him, fell to the ground, and rolled to the side.

"What are you thinking? Why do you always get distracted?" Su Yun frowned.

"Hysteria? Mass hysteria, do you have any research?" Zheng Ren suddenly asked.

"..." Su Yun froze for a moment, then shook his head.

"Don't move, let me think about it." Zheng Ren entered the state of searching for cases again, and the whole person looked like a stone sculpture.

"Sand sculpture." Su Yun scorned, "Don't think so much, mass hysteria, do you think it's a ghost press? Or the collective kind?"

"It's not like that." Zheng Ren said, "According to historical records, in the summer of 1518, a dancing plague broke out in Strasbourg, then the Holy Roman Empire. Do you have an impression?"

"A woman suddenly danced on the street. After four consecutive days of dancing, the number of people participating in the dance reached 34, and the street became crowded. Within a month, more than 400 people in the whole city were swinging happily and blocked. It's overwhelming." Su Yun frowned, "Is this what you're talking about?"

"Well." Zheng Ren bent down, looked around, picked up the cigarette that had fallen on the ground, and seemed to have an idea in his mind.

"I think there is a problem with the historical data. This kind of grandstanding is most likely compiled by the bard at the time to deceive people." Su Yun dismissed it, "It's like a nun learning to meow, these things are the same."

In medieval records, an even more horrifying scene is the group of Parisian nuns learning to meow.

It all started with a "meow" from one of the nuns. Afterwards, the nuns around her also learned to meow with her one after another, as if they were infected.

The nuns meow regularly, and all nuns meow for several hours at the same time each day.

According to analysis, mass hysteria is more common in schools, factories, monasteries, military camps and other places with strict discipline and high environmental pressure.

Zheng Ren knew that Su Yun was talking about this, and he thought about it too. Facing Su Yun's disdain, Zheng Ren smiled, "Forrest Gump, have you seen it?"

"Definitely, it's a perfect movie. Shawshank's redemption is such a pity, I met Forrest Gump." Su Yun said, the topic turned to another unknown direction.

"Forrest Gump's long-distance running, Louis Michael Figueroa who crossed the United States three times is one of its prototypes. Well, let's not talk about this, don't you think it is strange that there are many people running with Forrest Gump?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Boss, that's a literary atmosphere."

"No, I don't think so." Zheng Ren said firmly: "Sometimes, strong psychological cues and images of certain factors will produce a strange result."

"Like what?"

"You're right. Medieval cases are more entertaining. Let's talk about a case from recent decades." Zheng Ren said, "Have you seen "Pokémon"?"

"Your words reveal your age." Su Yun said contemptuously.

"I haven't seen it, but I only know that Pikachu appeared later according to this animation." Zheng Ren lit a cigarette and took a puff. The blue smoke was straight without any curvature.

"Boss, you use the subtle control of turbulence for smoking, don't you think it's a waste?" Su Yun asked.

"When thinking about a problem, doing it subconsciously is like performing an operation. Pao Ding Jie Niu, this time is advanced enough." Zheng Ren smiled.

"Speaking of business, what happened to Pokemon?" Su Yun asked.

"At 18:30 on December 16, 1997, Japanese audiences were watching the 38th episode of the popular animated Pokemon - Computer Warrior 3D Dragon." Zheng Rendao.

Su Yun was serious this time.

In 1997, that's not far off.

And there is time, detailed to the day, and even to the minute.

But why don't you remember this?

"However, at about 18:50, a large number of high-light, flashing special effects appeared. Then there were children with symptoms, ranging from shortness of breath and nausea to convulsions and hallucinations."

"Within half an hour, more than 600 teenagers were sent to the hospital for treatment. Among them, 208 were in a coma and 3 were in a severe coma. Most of them were primary and secondary school students."

"At that time, these children were all diagnosed with "photosensitive epilepsy", and the cause was the effect of light and shadow in the animation." Zheng Ren spoke slowly, as if he was thinking while speaking.

Su Yun immediately caught the loophole in Zheng Ren's words and interrupted him, "Wait a minute! There are a few problems with what you said."

"I know, you listen to me first. This diagnosis is not very convincing." Zheng Ren smiled, "The incidence of photoallergic epilepsy is about 0.02%. Hundreds of people in a group have the disease together, which is more likely than a meteor now. It would be small to hit the Earth."

"Secondly, similar flickering pictures have been seen frequently in animation in the past 20 years. This is a kind of animation production method called paka-paka. Simply put, it is to let different colors of light appear alternately and repeatedly to create a plot. Tension."

"You mean this?" Zheng Ren asked.

Su Yun nodded. Although he didn't care what Zheng Ren said, he thought this gossip was too interesting.

It's just that he said everything he wanted to hate this guy, is he thinking very well?

Impossible, definitely not some damn mass hysteria.
