About half an hour later, Baker saw a woman walking out of the elevator and walking towards him.

Dressed a little ordinary, with a string of pearl necklaces around his neck, silver hair on the head, and some wrinkles, but he is not ugly but has a different feeling.

"Dr. Penmark."

Erin greeted her, shook hands with the doctor of psychology, and smiled, "Thank you for coming here." ”

Dr. Penmark said, "So, where are my patients? ”

Erin looked at Baker.

Baker nodded.

Erin then turned to Dr. Penmark and said, "This way, please." ”

Soon.

Dr. Penmark followed Erin into Serra's hospital room.

in another room.

Baker sat on the couch and stared at the monitor that had just been installed to give a full view of Serra's ward.

Originally, both Barbara and the people in the hospital were very opposed, and it is clear that these people take their privacy very seriously, and they also respect the privacy of others, especially the privacy of patients.

It is also eloquently said that this is a matter of principle.

But......

After Baker tossed a check, the hospital stopped talking and fetched a backup camera from the warehouse.

It seems that the so-called adherence to principles is just because there are not enough bargaining chips to abandon principles.

As for Barbara?

Beck looked at Barbara silently for five seconds, and Barbara gave up trying to persuade Baker to respect Serra's privacy.

Soon.

Dr. Rhoda Penmark, a graduate of the Stanford School of Psychology and a member of the FBI, appears on camera.

Dr. Penmark looked at Serra, who was leaning on the hospital bed and flipping through a comic book in his hand, turned to Erin who was following him and said, "Can I speak alone with my client?" ”

Erin nodded and turned to leave.

Dr. Penmark moved a stool and sat down, looked at Serra on the hospital bed, and clapped his hands, attracting Serra's attention: "Hey, I'm not the kind of doctor who operates on people. ”

Sierra looked at Dr. Penmark with a bright smile, "You're a psychiatrist. ”

Penmack wowed, "You know that. ”

Sierra laughed with two nice dimples: "I've secretly watched 'Intervention'. ”

Penmark snorted: "Okay, well, I'm a psychiatrist, it's a professional word, it's a doctor who helps them through chat, can you tell me your name?" ”

"Serra!" Serra said sweetly.

in another room.

Barbara looked at Serra's performance in the monitor, crossed her arms and looked at Baker, who was leaning on the couch with a blank face, and said, "Are you sure you're right." ”

The blonde Lori in the monitor is simply a miniature version of the American beauty, blonde, white-skinned, beautiful, and sweet-tempered.

Baker glanced at Barbara and didn't speak.

During his career as an assassin, although the number of actual assassinations was only a handful, Baker had seen far more darkness than S.H.I.E.L.D. had seen.

After all, Baker has gone from nothing to now, he's seen his mother smiling, he's seen his wife crying and devouring his wife, he's seen ......

And also...... Josie.

Appearance is the most deceiving, even if Baker didn't see it with his own eyes through the reconnaissance guards, but after throwing away all the impossibilities, the rest, no matter how unbelievable, Baker will find a way to try it out.

That's when it happened.

As Dr. Penmark chatted a few words, ready to ask Sierra what had happened last night.

For the first time, Sierra interrupted, "My parents asked you to come here." ”

Penmack's expression paused slightly.

Baker's brow furrowed slightly.

Barbara was also slightly stunned when she heard Serra's words.

Sitting on the bed, Serra spread her hands, looked at Penmark and said, "It's my biological parents, can I meet them?" ”

Baker's gaze shifted to Barbara's.

Barbara was stunned for a moment, then looked at Baker: "Hey, I didn't tell her what kind of look you have, and the agent in charge of protecting Sierra didn't know." ”

Baker didn't speak, just turned his gaze to Andy.

Seeing this, Andy couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Do you think I'll say it?" ”

Baker was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Andy's hands were spread out like Serra's, and the meaning was self-evident.

Dr. Penmack looked down at the information he had just received, then looked around and smiled at Serra on the bed, "Sorry, can I ask why you say that?" ”

"It's easy."

"There are no child protective services here."

"And ......"

"People in child protection agencies can't afford to hire a psychiatrist like you."

A hint of slyness flashed in Serra's eyes: "I know you, last month's New York Journal had a picture of you." ”

"Wow."

Not only did Dr. Penmark exclaim, but even the three girls who were in the same room with Baker watched the scene in amazement.

Barbara looked at Baker, "She's smart. ”

Baker's face was expressionless: "Then do you think this will be done by her?" ”

Barbara stopped talking.

Baker stared at Serra, who was sitting on the bed on the screen, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently arced upward: "I think it's even more stupid." ”

Any kind of intelligence is premised on the backing of its own strength.

Cleverness without the backing of strength is far more than a kind of stupidity, and it is even more stupid than ordinary stupidity.

Bruce Hulk Banner is smart.

The result?

Last summer, General Ross was driven out of the Federation like a lost dog.

The words of Serra over there continued.

"And ......"

"I know that my parents are my adoptive parents, and now that I'm in the hospital, and my adoptive parents aren't there, and you're here, and you're not accompanied by a child protection agency, it's easy to guess that my biological parents should be here."

“……”

Erin turned to Baker and said, "She's smart. ”

Baker looked at Erin.

Irene said, "She's already seized the initiative for the conversation, hasn't she?" ”

Baker nodded: "If you're talking about the cleverness of the present, not the tail, then it is indeed very clever." ”

"Sierra is only nine years old."

"At the age of nine, I was already secretly driving you and Nova to a mobile circus in the suburbs."

“…… It's not the same. ”

"What's the difference."

"You're a man!"

“……”

Baker looked at his sister Irene, who was directly talking about the fact that he had sacrificed a great killing weapon, opened his mouth, and then shook his head.

Dr. Penmark over there also seemed to have reacted that Serra was preparing to lead the conversation, and looked directly at Serra: "Then your adoptive parents passed away yesterday, you know?" ”

Serra: "......"

Serra's expression changed slightly, and then, making an uncomfortable expression, she lowered her head and said softly, "I know." ”

Dr. Penmack asked calmly, "How do you feel?" ”

Serra bowed her head: "I cried all night. ”

Dr. Penmack nodded, "I understand, is this the first time someone you know has died?" ”

Serra lowered her eyebrows and shook her head: "No, a week ago, a male classmate in our class passed away, and I was uncomfortable for two days. ”

Dr. Penmark said, "I'm sorry. ”

The next room.

Baker looked at Barbara, "Can you find out about this?" ”

"Yes."

"Thank you!"

Baker said hello to Barbara, then got up, pushed open the door, and walked towards Serra's hospital room.

Barbara and Erin were slightly stunned.

Entry.

Baker happened to hear Serra ask Dr. Penmark why people are sad when someone dies.

Dr. Penmark was about to answer when he saw Baker in a suit and leather shoes.

Baker looked at Dr. Penmark, "Thank you, Dr. Penmark, you can go, I'm sorry for you." ”

Dr. Penmark frowned, "Who are you?" ”

Sitting on the bed, the blonde little Lori looked at the handsome and handsome Baker and said, "He is my biological father." ”

Dr. Penmark looked at Serra.

Serra looked at Baker, who turned his head calmly, and smiled: "Am I right?" ”

Baker didn't speak, just looked at Erin behind him.

Erin understood.

Not much.

Dr. Penmack departs.

Baker and Barbara stood together and looked at Serra, who was holding her little hands on the bed.

Barbara glanced at Baker with some concern.

Serra exclaimed, "She's not my mother, is she?" ”

Barbara looked at Serra.

Baker didn't make any moves.

Barbara was a little curious: "How do you see that?" ”

Serra shrugged cutely, then tilted her head and said, "Because you look at the way he looks." ”

"Eyes?"

"Hmm."

Barbara raised an eyebrow.

At this moment, Baker, who was next to him, said, "You go out first." ”

Barbara looked back at Baker, and then, with a nod, Barbara walked outside.

The door was reopened.

Baker put his hands behind his back and looked at Serra on the bed.

The smile on Serra's face was about to stiffen.

Half ringing.

Baker turned around, stepped on the chair, opened the vent directly, took out the camera inside, and then directly ripped off the cable.

"First things first."

Baker turned around and looked down at the camera in the palm of his hand, looked up at Lorise on the bed and said, "Don't talk too much to anyone until you can't guarantee your own safety." ”

If you say too much, you will lose, you can do it, don't BB!

"I know there's someone watching," Sierra said. ”

"Really?"

Baker didn't wait for Serra to reply, but sat down where Dr. Penmark had just sat and said, "You just asked why someone would be sad when they died, so why wouldn't you be sad?" ”

Serra shook her head, "Sooner or later, this thing is going to happen to everyone, isn't it?" ”

Baker nodded: "Then why do you think they are sad." ”

Sierra shook her head.

"Because they're afraid of dying, and somebody dies, and they're going to think of themselves from that person, so they're going to be sad," Baker said. ”

Serra asked, "What about my mother?" ”

"Passed away."

"How ......"

"I killed it."

“……”

Baker looked at the silent Sierra and said, "Don't you ask me why?" ”

Serra shrugged and didn't speak.

Baker spoke up, "Same as why you killed your adoptive parents." ”

Serra's expression changed: "I didn't. ”

Baker smiled: "The second thing, since you feel that you have done nothing wrong, then, don't deny anything." ”

Dare to act, admit mistakes when there is a mistake, stand up when beaten, and there is nothing unseemly.

Sierra looked up at Baker.

Baker said, "Can you tell me how they disrespected you, just because they suspected you of being the murderer of your classmates?" ”

Outside.

The camera was not there, the communicator was still there, and hearing the words from Baker inside, Barbara looked at the file she had just gotten from the police station and frowned: "How did he know." ”

Erin next to her shrugged: "Because he's Baker, he knows everything." ”

Barbara shook her head, looked at the contents of the electronic dossier that had just been sent on the computer screen, and said, "There is only one student's testimony that Serra was able to prove that she was with the little boy who fell off the cliff, and that doesn't prove ......"

said.

There's a sound coming from the other side of the monitor.

Serra's.

"He robbed me of the credit I deserved."

"Oh?"

"St. Alden's Citizen Medal, this should be mine, Marlowe is just a coward, he doesn't deserve this medal at all."

"So you killed him."

"I didn't!"

Sierra looked up at Baker, "I just led him to the edge of a cliff and dropped his medallion, who knew he would stumble and fall." ”

"The third thing, always, don't tell lies that you can't justify, you can change the subject, you can choose to be silent, but never tell lies that you can't justify."

“……”

One lie is followed by a hundred lies to make up for it, but to tell the truth, there is no need for it, even if it is a specious truth.

Baker reached into his bosom with his right hand and pulled out a burnt blackened medallion from it, which was none other than the Civic Medal of St. Alden School.

He pursed his lips and didn't speak.

The three people in the opposite room looked at each other.

Barbara looked at Erin: "Serra...... Was that how it used to be? ”

Erin shook her head without thinking about it: "No, the Sierra I remember is very cute and lively, and she would not do such a thing for a medal at all." ”

Barbara said, "So, something went wrong in the process of memory overlay. ”

Erin hesitated for a moment and nodded.

It's not a soul problem.

It's not a personality issue.

Then, there is only one last possibility, and that is that there is some kind of error in the process of memory overwriting.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain all this.

That's when it happened.

Baker got up and looked at Serra, who was sitting on the bed, "Remember the three things I said?" ”

Sierra looked at Baker with a furrow of her cute little eyebrows.

I don't seem to quite understand what Baker meant by this.

Baker sighed.

The next second.

Shake your right hand.

The angel crystal appeared on his right hand, shimmering with an incomparable brilliance, echoing the light of Serra on the hospital bed.

Bang.

The door of the ward is pushed open.

Andy went inside and looked at the flickering angel crystal, then looked at Serra, and finally understood why he felt a little familiar when he probed Serra's soul.

Because.

The breath of the soul belonged to Angel Queen.

Andy glanced at Serra, then at Baker, "When did you find out?" ”

Baker glanced at Andy, "When you say you feel a hint of familiarity." ”

"That's it?"

"Well, that's it!"

“……”
