That afternoon, Lucy welcomed a special guest.

Melissa, the captain of the 2nd Operations Team of the 1st Sector Terrorist Task Force, has dealt with numerous dangerous cyberpsychiatric attacks since taking office.

But what impressed her the most was a news report from a few years ago.

In this story, a veteran suddenly lost control of his emotions on the streets of the First District, killing a total of 15 people and seriously injuring eight others, seven of whom were local law enforcers.

Lucy vaguely remembers that the concept of cyber psychosis was not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at that time, and people at that time thought it was PTSD, because the vast majority of cyber maniac attacks at that time happened to veterans, and it was not until later that experts found out after research and exploration that the main reason for cyber psychosis was the imperfect prosthetic implant system.

In order to give the soldiers enough instant combat power, each of them was overdosed with military-grade prosthetics.

And the protagonist of that report, the cyberpsychopath who shocked the entire First District, was Melissa.

When Lucy received a call from Melissa, she was in a state of anxiety for a long time.

This is not an ordinary patient, but a killing machine that uses a thermal cutting blade to cut everyone around him into shreds.

Melissa was very punctual, and as soon as the appointed time came, she knocked on the door.

She was dressed in the uniform of the Terrorist Task Force, and seemed to have taken leave of absence to come directly from the bureau, which Lucy was used to, as was the case with most of her patients, and no one in the first district could spare enough time to see a psychiatrist.

"Dr. Lucy, I think I've gotten worse lately."

Once seated, Melissa cut straight to the point, she doesn't like to waste time on meaningless pleasantries.

She heard that Lucy was the best psychiatrist in the first district, and many people in the bureau had made appointments for psychological diagnosis, and they all said that Dr. Lucy was difficult to make an appointment, but she didn't expect that she just tried to make a phone call, and the other party just had time.

This may also show that this time she has become the one who has been swept up by Lady Luck.

"First of all, the frequency of agitation has increased, lately I have been taking double the dose of medicine every day, and every night when I go to bed, I dream of the executed prisoners, whose blood is splattered all over my body."

Lucy took out her tablet and entered the information related to the symptoms into Melissa's case, "When did you start having nightmares?" ”

"Nightmares?"

Melissa was slightly stunned before she said, "I think it's a sweet dream." ”

This allowed her to wake up happy every day, even to the point of leaving the recent execution of the thug to her men, and just staying in the armored hovercar and watching.

"Yes, sweet dreams."

Lucy froze, and she felt in her heart that the people of the Terrorist Task Force could not be measured by common sense.

"But...... That's not true, at least in the eyes of your normal people, right? ”

"Miss Melissa, first you need to change your perception, these may be part of your job, as long as you can distinguish between work and life."

"But I really like to hurt people."

Melissa couldn't hold back the restlessness in her heart when she thought of those dreams, "especially the sound of the heat cutting blade cutting through the skin, and then watching their lives pass before her eyes......"

"Yes, that's not true."

Lucy rarely points out the other person's mistakes during the first meeting with the patient, and even if the patient believes that she is a mushroom or a stand-in, she will continue the conversation according to the other person's ideas, but Melissa's murder is clearly beyond the scope of normal people, and in psychological terms, sitting across from her is a person with a distinctly antisocial personality.

Moreover, the patient also has a history of severe cyberpsychiatric disorder.

If she continues as she wants, she will get out of the hospital in a while, and Melissa will randomly pick 15 lucky passers-by.

"But you at least recognize the problem, and you've taken an important step...... Going back to the topic of dreams, when did you experience this symptom. ”

"It's always been, and I've been used to it for a long time."

This answer caught Lucy off guard.

Since Melissa has been in this state for a long time, she doesn't know why the other party suddenly came to her at this point in time.

Melissa seemed to see the doubts in Lucy's mind and explained, "Doctor Lucy, is there a way to cure it completely and make me become like a normal girl." ”

For example, develop some small hobbies such as flower arrangement and painting, and not always study the anatomy of the human body in your spare time.

"Can I hear your reasoning?"

This is both related to the illness and Lucy's strong curiosity, and it is difficult for her to imagine what happened in reality to make the captain of a terrorist team who dreams of executing criminals want to be a normal girl.

However, after hearing this question, the murderous captain lowered his head in shame, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "I think I may be in love." ”

In love?

Lucy was shocked again.

Although she knows that it is not good to judge people by their appearance, in her imagination, people like Melissa will never be bothered by love, she will show her feelings to each other as soon as possible, and then book a room in the love hotel in the first district that night.

Romantic hotels are one of the most popular places to relax in the 1st arrondissement, as most people don't have time to waste on relationships, they can only find time to do some practical things in their busy schedules.

"That's a good thing."

Lucy said, "What kind of person is your lover?" ”

“…… He? ”

Melissa was silent for a long time, as if whenever she asked about love, her mind would be half a beat slower than usual, "handsome, mysterious, powerful." ”

These general adjectives gave Lucy a clue.

This sounds more like a description of an imaginary lover, and it's rare for someone to introduce their actual lover in a relationship.

So she asked, "When did you start?" ”

"Hmm...... I haven't had time to start yet, but that day should be coming soon, so before I want to change myself, I've tried makeup before, but the effect is not ideal, and the people in the team say that I will definitely be found out if I go to the Fengyue place to conduct an undercover investigation, so it is better to go directly to the main entrance. ”

The answer was not what Lucy expected.

However, this is not a good thing for a patient who has been suffering from mental problems for a long time, and when they find that they still have hope in their lives, it is easier to see the positive side.

People living in Zone 1 need an eye that can spot beauty, otherwise they will be completely overwhelmed by the cold work.

After Lucy tried to make Melissa imagine the beautiful encounters in her life, "How did you meet?" ”

"I met on a mission."

"So, you're still peers?"

This is a reasonable inference based on Melissa's profession.

Because people who are not with her during the mission often die miserably.

"Let's just say that, but our department is different, and he should be several levels higher than mine."

According to Melissa's description, Lucy easily made up the image of a calm boss, maybe the other party was an important councilor.

Despite the analysis of wisdom, maybe Melissa's lover didn't know about her existence at all, but this change actually made Lucy feel that Melissa was a little cute, which formed a strong contrast with her identity as the captain of the terrorist mobile team.

In 2167, there are not many people who still believe in love at first sight.

If you look at the essence through the phenomenon, it is not difficult to find that Melissa also seems to yearn for the plot of "the domineering president falls in love with me" in Melissa's heart.

Works with this theme as the core are very popular until now, and it has been widely used in movies, games, and there are many of them in the literature section of the third row of the bookshelf behind her.

That's a good start.

Even if the end result may not be satisfactory, it may turn Melissa into an optimistic and cheerful person.

"Miss Melissa, I don't think what you need right now is a psychological diagnosis, but a relationship consultation."

“…… Do you offer this kind of business here? ”

"No, but I can recommend a book to you."

Lucy got up, walked to the fourth shelf, and pulled out a paper booklet that was not too thick, in the era of electronic manuals, traditional paper books were very rare, but in the words of the publisher, they hoped to call people to return to the sincere and simple era before the Third War, at least when it came to love.

"Oh, I found it, this book has been selling well for a long time, and I specially bought it for collection."

"A Love Tip Every Day".

According to the publisher, they now have an audience of tens of millions.

"This book is perfect for beginners, and if you have any ideas, you can always make an appointment to talk to me."

"Thank you, Dr. Lucy, for looking like a very experienced person in love."

"By the way, you haven't mentioned your lover's name yet."

Lucy cleverly avoided Melissa's praise, she has always followed the tradition when it comes to love, believing that relationships need to be gradual, and she is categorically unacceptable to not see each other for half a month in the first district, and the way they meet is in a love hotel.

Since coming to the first district, she hasn't thought about falling in love.

Anyway, with today's technology, as long as the care is right, many people in their forties and fifties look no different from girls in their early twenties.

"Luffy."

Lucy's words brought back Melissa's fond memories, and she put away "Every Love Trick" with a smile on her face, "His name is Rob Lucci." ”
