Chapter 73: Becoming more rational?
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
After getting off the subway, Chen Yun followed the navigation and came out of Exit B of Huaxiba Subway Station.
Next we have to walk about 800 meters.
Not far away is West China Hospital in Shucheng, one of the top tertiary hospitals in Shucheng. Next door is the West China Campus of the famous key university Sichuan University.
After a long-awaited phone call with his mother, Chen Yun saw that it was almost one o'clock, so he went to the top-ranked hospital in Sichuan according to the plan in Short-term Planning 4.0.
For no other reason than to see if such a thing as a soul exists.
While lighting a bonfire and watching the rain in the cave in Laojun Mountain, he couldn't help but think about the existence of the soul.
While at Laojun Mountain, he also tried to sense the existence of souls on corpses, but the final result was that he sensed nothing.
But conditions were really limited at that time.
There weren't enough bodies, and too long had passed since the bodies had been dead.
Just rely on the observation of such a small sample.
Chen Yun cannot conclude that there is really no soul in the world, or that he cannot sense the soul with his current mental strength.
Maintaining a rigorous attitude, he needed to make more observations and consider enough variables.
Of course, Chen Yun was very skeptical about whether his trip would yield results.
After all, people are not dying in hospitals all the time.
Even if on average each hospital may have a few deaths per day, even if there is an average, it cannot explain the problem because the sample dispersion is too high.
What kind of province, what kind of city, what level of top three, what kind of medical status, which departments are good at...
These problems have affected the daily number of deaths in a tertiary hospital, and have indirectly affected Chen Yun's observation of whether a soul is born after death.
So today's travel plan includes not only West China Hospital, but also several other nearby tertiary hospitals, as well as some nursing homes where the mortality rate may be higher than that of the hospital.
He will try to increase the number of samples as much as possible to ensure that the dead individuals can actually be sensed.
Thinking.
Chen Yun stepped out of the subway station and followed the navigation for more than 800 meters to the west. The door of the hospital appeared in front of him.
The hospital covers an area of more than 500 acres. It is obviously not something Chen Yun can see clearly at once, as he only has a mental perception range of about 80 meters in radius.
Moreover, there are some places where no one can enter casually.
However, the perception range of eighty meters is not too small. If planned properly, an area of five hundred acres can still be seen.
Thinking about it, Chen Yun planned a route for himself based on the rough map displayed on the navigation system.
He only needs to walk along Huanxin Lane, Limin Lane, Telecom Road, and Gongxing Road.
You can probably walk around the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth inpatient departments, the emergency department, and the infectious disease inpatient department.
With this thought in mind, Chen Yun quickly took action.
Under such planned actions, the hospital covering an area of 500 acres was divided into several small parcels.
Chen Yun's eighty-meter radius detection range is now useful. By shuttling left and right, most areas of the hospital are basically included in the monitoring range.
It's not possible to see the entire area at once, but if you divide it into several small areas and then sense them along their edges, then a range of eighty meters is completely enough.
It didn't take long for Chen Yun to finish the planned route.
The general situation of the entire hospital is clear.
But Chen Yun's expression suddenly became a little too calm.
As expected, I didn't sense the existence of the soul.
Calm because I saw too much along the way I just perceived.
The walls of the hospital hear the most prayers.
It carries the reverence for life, desire for health, expectation for miracles, and perseverance and acceptance of suffering by patients, family members and medical staff.
The prayers here are more sincere than anywhere else.
Chen Yun's emotional perception ability also made him feel different emotions here than usual.
The pressure, responsibility and exhaustion of doctors, the fear, anxiety and helplessness of patients... these emotions are stronger than ever. Here it is.
The suffering in the world is magnified, and the lowest and most embarrassing emotions are released.
And all of this was clearly seen by Chen Yun, who was using his perception to find the soul.
This made Chen Yun, who had finished walking the planned route, couldn't help but stand at the door of the hospital and fell silent into thinking.
When he sensed all this.
At first, I couldn't help but feel a little sad, but then I felt a coolness in my mind, and all the sadness became blurry.
The sadness did not disappear, but was suppressed by stronger emotions and was not allowed to move.
That emotion is called reason.
This made Chen Yun calm down almost instantly.
And the calmness seems a bit too much.
However, in this state, he felt that Transparent World 3.0 could perceive other things more clearly.
Chen Yun understood.
My current mental state is very strange, and I seem to have lost a lot of empathy. It was as if he already considered himself superior and completely separated from the human species.
But if you feel it carefully, you will find that this is not the case.
The ability to empathize actually still exists, and I can feel and understand the negative emotions bred in those pious prayers and sufferings.
There was just no more reaction, it seemed like he didn't care.
This is because his ability to empathize is controlled by his own reason.
His powerful reason is calming all the fluctuating emotions at this moment, so that he has entered a state of absolute calmness and indifference.
Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself.
When he was dealing with the cultists in Laojun Mountain, he found that it was difficult for him to have any mood swings because of the passing of those lives.
He once thought that it was because he was indifferent and rational enough towards his enemies. But now he discovered that this kind of reason exists all the time.
As long as there are slight fluctuations in emotions that may affect his judgment, he will immediately come to his senses.
This seems to be a new ability brought about by the fourth sleep evolution.
This is undoubtedly the most correct and reasonable mechanism. It does not absolutely kill personal feelings, but always maintains reason to avoid impulse.
Just like Saitama in One Punch Man.
The character is not as dull and naive, but the plainness is almost the same, with a bit of joy and hatred added.
It's like the upgraded version of himself who once stayed at home and got rid of some of his excessive emotions. It's not perfect but it's not annoying to Chen Yun either.
Reasonable, yet decisive in killing.
It's dull, but it also has pleasure and grudges.
Such a character may seem contradictory.
But if you think about it carefully, no one in the world has a character that is not contradictory.
Personality is diverse and full of layers, with strong situational dependence and dynamic changes that occur according to changes in circumstances.
Everyone is like this, struggling through life.
Thinking of this, Chen Yun shook his head helplessly.
In general, he feels that the current character, which uses reason as the central control and personal emotions are not extinct, is reasonable and acceptable.
The personality he wanted to uphold was still there.
Thinking about it, Chen Yun stopped thinking about it.
Open the evil map navigation and continue looking for the next target.
West China Hospital did not find souls, so we need to go to other hospitals and nursing homes to try.
