Chapter 158: Earthling Quest
In the beginning, Alex thought that this old man was sick.
But as he started talking about demons, Alex realized that the old man was actually sane and pretty knowledgeable.
The old man smiled, "Mental demons. They appear in different forms, heavily connected to people's experiences. They mostly hail from childhood's traumas, slowly growing into demons in people's heads."
Alex nodded. He had lessons about those cases.
The old man carried on, "Imagine the scenario… A loving family. Mother, father, and the kid. As the mother makes breakfast for her family, she holds the knife and smears the butter on the bread… And then, her kid comes into her view.
She suddenly gets a thought… What if I just shove this knife into my kid's eyes?" the old man spoke about such a topic with a smile.
Alex sighed, "That's OCD. It's proved that people with such thoughts won't actually yield to their compulsions."
