"Well, of course, please come in ......"

I quickly got up from the couch just as the door to the reception room opened and a diminutive red-haired girl walked in.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Ninety degree bow, slightly diacriticized Chinese pronunciation.

Now I am 100% sure that the girl in front of me is a Japanese, but I am really a little at a loss when I meet such a humble gift, and even worse, from my point of sight, I can easily see the full and excessive scenery on the girl's chest......

"Ahem!" I quickly withdrew my gaze and bowed slightly, "I'm sorry, you're ......"

"That's right, she is the client I introduced to you......" The second person walked into the reception room, it was Shen Tangzhi.

She is dressed very casually today, wearing a loose white chiffon short-sleeved shirt on her upper body, black high-waisted slim trousers and stiletto leather shoes on her lower body, her height was originally 1.75 meters, and the clear boundary between white and black in this dress sets off her legs more slender.

Shen Tangzhi's hair was coiled high, combed a beauty bun, and did not wear other jewelry, only a silver hairpin inlaid with rubies was inserted obliquely, faintly revealing the elegance of a classical beauty, which was quite consistent with her cold temperament.

"Let me introduce you to you. This is the president of Kirishima Counseling Center and my good friend, Ms. Kirishima. ”

"As for this man, it is the owner of the Jiguang Detective Agency, Detective Jiguang."

"Hello, Mr. Yoshimitsu, it's an honor to meet you, and please take care of me."

Another ninety-degree bow.

Oh my God, doesn't this Kirishima lady know that she is going to make such a move in a low-cut dress?!

I could only lower my eyes, look at the tip of my nose, and bend down again to return: "Hello, President Kirishima, I am honored to meet you......"

Shen Tangzhi covered his mouth and chuckled on the side: "Okay, you two, you are not tired, I look tired to death." Let's all sit down, stand so stupidly and bow to each other, and still talk about things? ”

"Ah, I'm so sorry, please take a seat, Mr. Yoshimitsu! I'm really sorry that this psychological counseling center is not fully staffed for the time being, so please forgive me for not being able to provide enough hospitality! ”

As he spoke, Kirishima was about to bow to me again.

I want to die now.,I really can't understand the custom of bowing and apologizing for a little bit of.,I hope it's one thing.,I can't help but return the salute, right? That's rude.

“Stop！” Thankfully, Shen Tangzhi reached out to stop Kirishima Xun, straightened her back, and pulled her to the side of the single sofa. "Sit down for me, okay?"

Of course I'm 10,000 willing, but it's just hard to say.

"Huh?"

The president of Kirishima was obviously a little confused, but Shen Tangzhi didn't wait for her to speak, and pressed her into the single sofa, and then Shen Tangzhi himself sat down on the other single sofa.

"I knew this was going to happen...... Shen Tang tapped one of his temples with one hand, looking nerve-wracked, "Let me briefly explain the situation: this Miss Kirishima is a friend I met during an academic exchange at Yoshida Medical College in Japan three years ago, when she was still studying for a doctorate in applied psychology. She holds an internationally accepted Class 1 psychiatrist license and specializes in hypnotic psychotherapy, in addition to ...... Don't be misled by her birdish appearance, she is actually a karate master, with a sixth-dan black belt. ”

Eh, is it a master of karate black belt 6th dan? This was somewhat of a surprise to me.

I couldn't help but look at the Kirishima sitting across from me again: she had wavy hair as red as blood, and she had a beautiful face, and from her very three-dimensional features, she seemed to be a half-race.

Her height is only about 1.55 meters, but her body proportions are very good, and the muscle lines of her legs are very toned, she looks like a miniature version of the Victoria's Secret supermodel, standing beside Shen Tangzhi just now, because of the different height difference, it looks inexplicably cute, in addition, these two are rare beauties, and they are even more interesting.

Shen Tangzhi is the eldest sister of the iceberg with a cold and elegant temperament, and this Kirishima Xun is like a legitimate Lori who has crossed over from Japanese comics - after finishing her doctorate, no matter how talented she is, she should be over 25 years old, right?

In this way, is it likely that Kirishima is older than Shen Tangzhi? Because Shen Tangzhi is only 24 years old.

Just as I was thinking a little, Shen Tangzhi's introduction also came to an end: "...... As for the content of her commission, let's talk about it yourself. ”

"That's right, Mr. Yoshimitsu." Kirishima seemed to be careful about the words, during which Shen Tangzhi nodded at her encouragingly, and then she continued to me with an expression of "made up her mind": "The reason why I want to open this psychological counseling center is to continue my psychological research, so in addition to accepting patients who come to the clinic, I will also take the initiative to find some special cases...... Sorry, please wait a minute......"

Kamino Kirishima took out his mobile phone and operated it a few times, and the lights in the entire reception room slowly dimmed, and then, the projector installed under the ceiling emitted a pillar of light, and a white wall was used as a projection screen, revealing a patient file.

In the first file, the photo shows a boy with a vigilant expression, clearly an Asian face, but the complexion is surprisingly white, and it is marked next to it:

[Name: Xu Liang]

[Age: 17]

[Illness: Intensive Fear]

"This patient suffers from severe dense phobia."

Kirishima began to introduce me, and I suddenly realized that when she entered her professional role, the feeling of shyness and shyness faded a lot, and her words were accurate and her tone was calm, which was a sign of great confidence.

"Xu Liang was abducted and sold to a professional beggar by traffickers at a very young age because he had hereditary albinism. But the beggar leader felt that this was not pitiful enough, so he used a special method to injure Xu Liang's right arm, so that he **, maggots grew out, and his right arm was bitten by insects with dense holes, even if it was finally cured, it still existed. ”

As long as he shows this terrifying right arm, Xu Liang can easily reap the pity of passers-by. After escaping from the grasp of professional beggars, Xu Liang, who was only eight years old at the time, was taken in by an orphanage. ”

"After that, Xu Liang has been using a bandage around his right arm, and he never wants to see the things under the strap in his life, he is afraid of his right arm, and he is also afraid of going to crowded and open squares, so he suffers from slight aphasia, and until now he stays in the orphanage as a volunteer."

The projector screen flashed, and the next file was displayed.

This is a cute little round-faced girl, but for some reason, she is wearing a pink poncho in the photo, and the notes are as follows:

[Name: Shen Xiaoke]

[Age: 10]

[Illness: Fear of rain]

On a rainy day, her father killed her mother when he was fighting for the last drug with his mother, and his father walked out of the building after taking drugs and was hit by a truck...... She was only five years old at the time. ”

"The day she was sent to the orphanage, it was also a rainy day. And on that day, she was reprimanded by the harsh dean - she was beaten by someone because she was called the daughter of a poisonous bug, and smashed the other person's head with a stool. ”

From then on, Xiao Ke began to feel that bad things would happen on rainy days, and he hated rain very much. The boy she beat was actually a bully in the orphanage, making people pretend to be his friend, and after showing her weakness of hating rain, he specially chose rainy days to bully her. As a result, he eventually developed a severe phobia of rain. ”

"Ko always wears a raincoat and galoshes, always carries an umbrella with her, and she can often sit in the corridors of the orphanage all day in a raincoat."

The screen changed again, and another file appeared.

The photo shows a girl with strange eyes who seems to be very disdainful of taking pictures.

By now, I've seen two files, and if nothing else, the little girl in this one must also be a phobia sufferer, and an orphan.

Sure enough, the annotated text next to it read:

[Name: Du Min]

[Age: 13]

[Illness: Puppet Fear]

Kirishima said: "Du Min's family is an ancestral puppet performer, and I found a remnant video of Du Min's father, which is indeed a very amazing ventriloquist puppet performance. Du Min's father had a special affection for puppet performances, he was obsessed with dolls and had a dream to make the most perfect puppet. ”

"Du Min is very talented in ventriloquist puppet performance, and Du Min's brother likes drama and doesn't want to inherit this ancestral business at all, but the family tradition is passed on to men and not to women, so Du Min's father and brother often quarrel over this matter."

"In a violent quarrel, my brother angrily scolded his father in front of everyone, his dolls are not real people, but his father has so many feelings for the dolls, and he even glimpsed his father and female dolls**, which is simply psychopathic!"

"My father's face turned pale and he slapped my brother the spot, but my father was also plagued by rumors from then on, and finally lost the opportunity to perform, my father drank heavily all day long, and finally died with the puppet in despair."

His father's death shocked his brother so much that he began to learn how to make dolls, and he wanted to fulfill his father's last wish: to make a perfect puppet. Although he was not as talented as his sister, he was extremely diligent, often working tirelessly in the studio to make dolls. ”

"After a few years, my brother's skills improved dramatically, and he was able to create a lifelike doll with an astonishing level of detail and anthropomorphism, and people praised him for his craftsmanship even higher than his father's."

"But soon the bad news came that a girl in the town was missing, and Du Min noticed that the doll made by his brother resembled the missing girl."

In the middle of the night, she went to see her brother's doll and found that under the leather, it turned out to be a corpse that had been gutted and embalmed! His brother appeared at this moment, rushing towards her with a knife in his hand, and she smashed him with a vase in extreme fear, but it was actually the puppet that moved, and wanted to attack her behind her. ”

"Du Min's brother finally cut off the head of the puppet, but the elder brother was also seriously injured by the puppet, at this time, the elder brother told her that in fact, his father told him the way to make the perfect puppet, that is, to make a living person into a puppet, he refused at first, but in the end his father forced him to inherit this will with death."

She buried her dead brother with the dolls, but since then she has developed a phobia of dolls. Because she lost her guardian and her relatives did not dare to take her in because of this terrible incident, Du Min was finally sent to an orphanage, and that year, Du Min was nine years old. ”

No next document appeared, and the lights began to light up slowly - it seemed that this was the end of the explanation.

Although the lecture was lengthy, I didn't show any impatience, and on the contrary, I am now very curious - what exactly is the content of this commission?

Because after reading three materials and listening to three stories, I still can't guess the answer.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yoshimitsu, for delaying you...... But there are necessary reasons for this, and I can only explain them to you in detail. ”

"No, no, no, there is no need to apologize at all – professionals have an almost innate seriousness and meticulousness in their work, which is an excellent habit. Well, can I ask a digression? ”

When I said this, I glanced at Shen Tang, but the latter raised his hand slightly towards me and actually motioned for me to open up and ask.

Okay, in fact, I just want Shen Tangzhi to answer me directly, because Shen Tangzhi must have guessed what I was going to ask.

"You...... Please speak. As soon as she entered the "social" state, it seemed that Kirishima had turned back into that shy girl.

I actually regretted it a little, because this was the first time we met, so I directly pointed out Kirishima Xun's fault, isn't it too polite, but since I have already opened my mouth, and Shen Tangzhi doesn't plan to answer for Kirishima Xun, I can only bite the bullet and say:

"President Kirishima Chinese said it so well, and he should have a good understanding of Chinese culture, so in our culture, apologies and bows should not be used too often......"

Sure enough, Kirishima began to feel uneasy: "That...... In fact...... Actually, I understand. It's just, habitual...... After all......"

"After all, people have lived in a country that pays attention to the culture of apology for so many years, and it is understandable that they have just come here, and it is understandable that they are not comfortable all of a sudden, and you should also be appropriately tolerant of foreign friends, right?" Shen Tangzhi said, and suddenly the words changed, "Xiao Xun, you don't have to be too polite to him. You bowed to him just now, this kid is not honest! ”

"Huh?"

Kirishima was stunned for a while before he understood what Shen Tangzhi meant, and he was suddenly ashamed, and his face was as red as an apple.

I can't help but blush, to say that I didn't aim, it's impossible, instinct, instinct......

At this time, I finally understood why Shen Tangzhi didn't seem to be a little cold to me since he entered the door, and the crux of the problem turned out to be here.

However, Shen Tangzhi is not the kind of person who is boring, so he warned me a little so far, and then changed the topic.

After such a small episode, although Kirishima Xun's face is still a little shy and embarrassed, it seems a little more relaxed than the attitude that is extremely polite on the surface and actually rejects people.
