Chapter 3394 Miraculous Doctor (Thirty-Eight)
"Let's talk about Dr. Foster again." Pride took his arm off the table and put it back in front of him, then said, "You said he was the doctor who killed you, but why do I hear only praises of him from others?"
"Because that's just his disguise!" Henry said, "He's a shameless coward and a damned thief!"
"Oh? This doesn't sound like an evaluation of someone who tortured you." Arrogant sneered and said, "If the facts are really as shown in the dream, and he arrested you and tortured you for no reason, shouldn't you call him a cruel executioner and an evil butcher?"
Henry opened his mouth. Schiller saw that he cursed out what was in his heart in a hurry. But this was obviously a forced error. The reasoning before arrogance squeezed his psychological defense to the point of collapse.
"You think he's weak, but a weak person wouldn't have the courage to pull out someone's teeth and cut off their tongue while they were screaming. You say he's a thief, but I don't think a few teeth and a tongue are worth the risk of kidnapping you."
"He kidnapped me because he wanted to ask my father for a ransom! He pulled out my teeth to make my father believe that I was in his hands. He cut out my tongue to let my father know that he was torturing me, so as to force him to make a decision quickly..."
"So that's how it is." Pride said slowly, "He wanted money, so he kidnapped you when you were sick and demanded a ransom from your family."
"But judging from the final result, your family didn't seem to pay the ransom. It seems that they didn't care about you at all. They didn't even care that your teeth were pulled out and your tongue was cut off. They still thought money was more important."
"They gave it to him!" Henry said, "but he was a shameless liar. He took the ransom and killed me!"
"He got the ransom?!" Schiller's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "How much did he get? Where is the money now?"
"I don't know," Henry said, "but it must be a lot of money. My family is desperate to get me out, and they're willing to pay a lot of money for it!"
Schiller's eyes slowly changed, and he asked, "Are your family members still alive?"
He stretched out his fingers and counted. 60 years ago, the child was about 60 or years old, so now he is in his s. If there are any elders, they are probably no longer alive.
Schiller sighed in disappointment.
"Dr. Foster took the money, then chose to kill you, took the money and ran away, becoming a respected doctor. And you became a ghost trapped here, which is really pitiful."
Unexpectedly, Arrogance did not refute Henry's words, but continued with what he said.
"Dr. Foster must have been very successful in life. He got a large amount of start-up capital without much effort. He could have used the money to treat patients and save lives, and in return, he could have gained a good reputation and made people think that he was a good doctor who was devoted to charity. He would be like Jesus Christ, and he would be sought after wherever he went."
"Of course, he will also have a high status. Generally, no one would want to offend a doctor. He can maintain good popularity. At the same time, in order to consolidate their rule and make the poor believe that they can indeed get treatment, the superiors will definitely open the door to Dr. Foster."
"In order to show their own kindness, the nobles would flatter Dr. Foster, make him their guest of honor, invite him to various celebrity gatherings, talk about his experience of curing diseases and saving lives at the banquets, and even shed tears for his kindness."
"He will definitely have a very happy family. Maybe he will meet a simple but strong girl from a small town, or he may be chosen by the daughter of a wealthy family, have a blessed wedding, have a few more lovely children, and raise each of them to be excellent."
"Then, when he has finished his old age enjoying the happiness of family life and lies on his sickbed, the people around him will look at him with eyes full of worry and reluctance. After his death, there will also be countless people surrounding his coffin, expressing their deepest sorrow."
"Many years after his death, he became the greatest doctor in the world and a benchmark for the medical profession, and everyone who joins the medical profession must pay tribute to him."
"And no one knows that all his success was built on your body. And you will never have the chance to reveal his true face to the world. His life has already been concluded."
"Enough!" Henry gritted his teeth and said, "He stole everything from me!! These things should have been mine!!!"
"Steal? I'm afraid not." Pride shook his head and said, "You are you, and he is him. Although he killed you, his talent in medicine cannot be denied. If he died and you lived, would you be able to become the greatest doctor in the world?"
"Of course I can! This is my talent!"
"Having talent and actually being able to do it are two different things." Arrogant snorted with pretended disdain, "If, as you said, you were born into a wealthy merchant family, how could you become a doctor and deal with peasants infected with the plague every day?"
"You said your family loves you very much, but they definitely won't agree. Being a doctor is a very dangerous job. Since your family is not short of money, why take the risk?"
After hearing this, Schiller remembered that being a doctor was not a good job in this era. It could even be said to be a very lowly profession. Even a priest working in a church would be despised if people knew that he had treated a patient.
Because medical care was not well developed in this era, infectious diseases were rampant. Once you come into contact with a patient, you are likely to be infected, and then spread it to the people who come into contact with him. People are very afraid of this kind of thing, and they avoid doctors when they see them. Even the royal doctors have a low status, at most they are better than those ordinary doctors.
"To sum up, even if he hadn't killed you, you wouldn't have achieved the same high achievements as him." Pride shook his head and continued, "I'm sorry for what happened to you, but since it's already like this, you should just accept it."
"Anyway, he may not have interrupted the life of a gifted person. More likely, he just shortened the life of an ordinary person who has done nothing and made no contribution to the world by a few decades."
"Impossible!!! His fame and status should have been mine! If he hadn't killed me, I would have become the greatest doctor in the world!!!"
"Then tell me why," said Pride. "I don't see how you look like a doctor. You're the one who messed up the hospital."
Henry's chest rose and fell rapidly, mist continued to rise around him, and his hands were clenched into fists.
"Of course I have talent, of course I can do it. Because I am the real Henry Foster! That guy is a thief who stole my body!!"
Schiller widened his eyes slightly, with an arrogant but understanding expression.
After a moment's thought, Schiller understood what was going on.
Henry spoke quickly, "He is an evil spirit that came from nowhere and suddenly took over my body. He then kept abusing and beating me, trying to wrest control of my body from me."
"I couldn't win against him. He took my body and drove my soul out, leaving me a homeless ghost. He is a complete bastard!!!"
Schiller and Pride exchanged glances.
“Dissociative Identity Disorder.”
"Obvious."
“When did it split?”
"I guess it has something to do with his mother."
"I think so."
Pride looked at Henry and said, "When did he appear in your body?"
Henry stared at him without saying anything.
"If you don't tell me, I'll tell you," Schiller continued. "You learned about the sacrificial ceremony from somewhere, and you wanted to sacrifice your mother. But at this time, another you appeared."
"That's right. He is an evil spirit because he appeared after I came into contact with Manny. He must be one of the patients killed by Manny, and he followed me because he wanted to be resurrected!"
Schiller looked at Hubris again and said, "Multiple personalities arising from disagreements on major life decisions are rare, but not impossible."
"He must have suffered some abuse before." Pride added, "It is possible that his financial situation caused him to be discriminated against, or he was too short of money and the huge pressure of survival caused him anxiety."
"That's right. His mother might have taken him through a period of wandering and hunger, which made him eager to change. After encountering the evil spirit and learning about the sacrificial ritual, he felt that he had a chance and set his sights on his mother."
"But there was also a side of his personality that was close to his mother, which was at odds with his decision. Under tremendous mental pressure, he split into two personalities. One was Henry, and the other was Foster."
"The question now is how Foster kicked Henry out." Schiller thought for a moment and said, "Considering that there is magic in this world, it is not impossible. I wish we had the conditions back then."
Arrogance gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Who do you want to kick out?"
Schiller said without hesitation: "That depends on who wants to kick me out."
They both turned their heads away at the same time.
Then they looked at Henry at the same time.
The looks from the two even made Henry take a small step back. Schiller was the first to speak: "Don't be nervous, Henry. We just have some questions to ask you. As long as you can answer us, everything can be discussed."
He picked up the paper and pen on the table and said, "How did Dr. Foster expel you from his body? Magic?"
"He...he messed up my sacrifice ceremony, causing me to suffer the backlash. He also took advantage of my weakness to find an exorcist and expelled me from my body."
"After being expelled, you can't go back?"
"The exorcist put a protective circle on him. I tried several times and couldn't get back in. Damn, filthy thief."
Schiller ignored Henry's new output. He continued, "Then why is it that an adult Dr. Foster appears in your memory? Weren't you two children at the time?"
Arrogant tapped the table lightly, and then said, "He must have learned about Dr. Foster later and saw his photo. Because of jealousy, he imagined him to be a perverted killer who abused children."
"Yes, this kind of person is the best at deceiving himself."
"But what Dr. Foster did should also have meaning." Pride speculated, "He pulled out Henry's teeth and nails, and then cut off his tongue. This may mean that he gradually defeated Henry in the battle for his body and restricted Henry's movements, making him unable to speak and walk, and finally completely losing control of his body."
"When Henry attacked his mother, he seized control of the body and interfered with the ritual at a critical moment, causing the ritual to fail. He then took this opportunity to severely injure Henry and successfully expelled him from the body."
"Then why didn't Henry blame Dr. Foster, but blame Manny, imagining her as the culprit?" Schiller muttered to himself, and after a pause, he said, "I understand. Dr. Foster and Manny must be in the same group."
