When Albert walked into the police station with Ran, he attracted everyone's attention without exception.

The middle-aged policeman with a rosacea smirked and said, "Hey, Aiken, who is this pretty young man?" For the first time, I know that you like the flavor. ”

"Fuck off, old Mike." Aiken smiled unceremoniously and scolded, "Keep your mouth clean, this is my junior brother, and I am looking for him to help today." He still won't speak? ”

Old Mike shrugged: "As usual, the dogs. The mother didn't take us police seriously at all, and she was willing to say it only if she wanted a lawyer to come. ”

"I see, I'll go check on the situation first."

As he spoke, without waiting for the others to react, Albert hurriedly walked in with Ran.

He made the right decision, because shortly after he left, the other younger officers reacted, and one of the female officers exclaimed, "Oh my God, did you see the man following Sheriff Aiken, I thought he was a star at first." ”

"yes, that's pretty too." Another female policeman also came back to her senses, "It's over, after seeing him, I think the stars on the screen are like that." ”

Old Mike pouted: "As for you, although that young man is very handsome and very friendly, he hasn't reached the point where he can be on TV." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a look of pity from the two of them.

"What for?"

"I'm so sad for your aesthetic."

On the other side, Rann followed Albert through the police station, and some of the police officers passing by stared at his face in amazement.

Rann had experienced enough of this kind of attention-grabbing feeling in that hospital before, and now he was not surprised, and asked curiously: "The 'he' you said to that person just now is the purpose you brought me here?" ”

"yes, he's a headache." Albert said, "Do you know black poker? ”

Ran: "...... I don't quite remember. ”

"Well, I forgot you had an accident before, black poker is the gang in our city, well, it's the kind you imagined," Albert automatically made an excuse for Ran, "their mark is that they will have different poker tattoos on their bodies, and the higher the status, the higher the poker value of the tattoos, so if you see poker tattoos on your body on the road, it's best to avoid them." ”

Rann nodded, silently jundering the message.

Soon Albert led Rann to an interrogation room, and as soon as the two entered the door, the other police officers in the room looked at them.

The interrogation room is similar to what Rann saw in the film and television drama in his previous life, a large single-sided glass divides the two rooms, which can clearly see the movements of the prisoners, one policeman is responsible for interrogating the prisoner, and the rest of the policemen stay in the other room to observe the interrogation through the single-sided glass.

In addition to the police, there was also a young man in a white coat, with black hair and black eyes, who looked no more than 28 years old, with a cold face, prominent cheekbones, looking a little mean and cold, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, staring at the prisoner's facial expressions while recording something in his notes, and turned his head to look at them after hearing the movement at the door.

His eyes met Rann, who had followed Albert into the door, and the two sides were visibly stunned.

The former's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise unabashedly, while Rann was full of surprise.

Because he found that he seemed to know the man.

As if noticing that the two had been looking at each other for a long time, Albert coughed, stood between the black-haired youth and Rann, and introduced him: "This is Ran, my friend, and this is Alqi Hayes, the criminal psychology counselor of the police department. ”

Archie Hayes.

Ran's eyes widened slightly, there was no mistake, it was the name.

Rann was very impressed with the name and the face.

Because the other party is an important NPC that is famous in the later stages of the game.

Ask, what NPCs are most important in this world where research is the selling point of games? Career Mentor? Faction Leader?

No! It's a psychiatrist who can regain his senses and get out of madness!

Once a player's character card falls into permanent madness, it will become unusable, so veteran players cherish the old card in their hand.

In the old running group games, investigators who basically completed a dungeon would be rewarded with a recovery of san, but in this game, this is too real, and the only way to get players out of a temporary madness is to see a psychiatrist, and preferably a high-level psychiatrist.

Because of this, Archie has become a fragrant bun, and some players want to have a good relationship with him, so that they can be healed as soon as possible, coupled with his arrogant and poisonous character, handsome face and obscure past, the three buffs are superimposed, and the goodwill in the player's heart is rising.

Of course, this NPC was not as popular as it was from the beginning, and even won the first place in the player forum for a second time because of its poisonous and unpleasant personality.

By the way, at that time, Archie was also a frequent visitor to the Dark Fall and Mob books in the fandom area. *

Until, a plot involving Archie's past is revealed.

[How could I forget him]

[In my heart, I have never left that burning city!] 】

This is an exclusive copy of Archie's past that players who focus on brushing up Alqi's favorability and open it after gaining a certain degree of trust from the NPC.

The most surprising thing for players is that Archie's exclusive copy is just linked to the game plot of Arkham's destruction in the past, but it is carried out from the perspective of Arkham, although the ending is still an unchangeable failure, but you can experience the most famous copy of this game from another perspective, and make up for many side lines and characters, so that some players are too addicted.

Some players sparked a lot of attention and discussion about the dungeon information, and then Sherlock Holmes Detail Maniac quickly gathered the information from various clues, and locked the 'he' in Archie's words to the picture frame on the desk in Archie's medical room.

The picture had been pressed underneath.

It's like people in the office who don't dare to look directly at the person in the photo.

If you sneak into the office while Archie is not there, and lift the frame, you can see a photo of the two of them, and according to the information revealed by Archie, the person on the photo should be Archie's friend from childhood to adulthood, and died in Arkham City for unknown reasons.

Since then, Archie seems to have been tracking down his friend's death, not believing the fact that he is dead.

In the eyes of the players, this must be a sign that Archie is unable to come out of the haze of the death of his best friend.

The plot of this kind of knife is a classic in the running group.

As soon as this exclusive copy of Archie came out, the forum instantly attracted a large number of fandoms, and after the accumulation of various outputs, Archie's own popularity ushered in a sublimation, coupled with its special functionality, instantly changed from the most unpopular NPC to everyone's wife.

Even if Rann didn't pay much attention to the doujin output area in his previous life, he knows how popular Archie is in it, and there are many stalks out of the circle.

Like, 'Archie, you don't want anything to happen to your best friend, do you?' ’

Bah! It's not that kind of meme!

Rann shook his head, trying to drive away the yellow scrap inside...... Wait a minute, so to speak, Archie's best friend seems to be a police officer by profession.

Rann suddenly turned to Albert and couldn't help but look at him, Albert noticed his gaze, and although he didn't know why, he tried his best to put on an extremely sunny smile.

…… It can't really be you! Bai Yueguang, who has been living in the redemption text of the fandom area!

Although Rann hadn't seen the photo, he had heard of labels like 'Little Sun' and 'Blonde Hot Man' to some extent, and couldn't help but scan his shoulders, waist and hips.

…… Well, it's really spicy.

At this time, Archie had already recovered from his amazed mood, glanced at Albert strangely, turned his head back, and said in an indifferent tone: "It's still the same, I advise you to give up early, this guy is an old fritter, and it's not very realistic to want to get information out of his mouth with a simple question." ”

After that, he didn't forget to hook the corners of his lips: "Of course, if you are willing to agree to let me use a little special means, then there is some hope." ”

"Ahem, of course not, Human Rights Watch has been investigating very harshly recently, let alone doing it, even if it uses intimidating language, we will all go to court next week." Albert's head was full of black lines.

"Then I'm fine, don't waste time on this kind of thing, give up."

"But I've been concerned about the recent black poker movements......" Albert coughed, "so I got another psychiatrist to help you......"

The black-haired young man's expression immediately turned cold, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer: "Did I hear it wrong, Albert?" Are you looking for someone to replace me? ”

"No, I didn't think so," Albert waved his hand repeatedly, "it's just that the recent movement of black poker is too weird, there must have been a change in it that we don't know about, and if we can't find out the reason for this, the situation will make us fall into passivity." ”

Archie ignored him and turned to Ranne, "How many years have you been in the business?" ”

Rann was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Archie to talk to him, and after hesitating for a moment, he replied: "I just started in the industry, less than a year. ”

If you count the experience of his previous life, it has been five or six years since he officially entered this industry, but the original body has just come out of school, and it is said that it is less than a year to decals his face.

Archie also noticed this words, looked at Ran's immature face, instantly understood, sneered, and turned around: "Charlie, send off." ”

The policeman on the side looked at Albert a little embarrassed.

Rann wasn't angry, after all, he didn't specialize in criminal minds, this was Dr. Archie's territory, so naturally he had to be handed over to a professional, and the original body was even just a recent graduate, with no experience at all, and there would be ghosts if he could be trusted.

But Albert seemed to misunderstand Ranne's silence, turned his head and reassured him, "Don't worry, Ran, no matter what the outcome, your salary will be paid today." ”

Archie: "I don't remember the police department being a charity organization. ”

"Archie, come with me, I have something to say to you." Albert stepped forward and grabbed Archie's shoulders, ignoring Archie's cold face and led the man to the door.

As soon as he came out of the interrogation room, Archie immediately waved Albert's shoulder, took a half step back, and unhappily arranged his white coat: "Don't do anything to me, is your brain glued with lard, and you actually brought a layman to the interrogation room." ”

"He's not a layman." Albert reluctantly explained.

"Yes, the little white rabbit who just came out of the ivory tower, after learning a little knowledge of textbooks, he thinks he can do this business, and he is indeed not even a layman." Archie sneered, leaning against the wall and staring at Albert, "What about you, you won't be so ignorant that you really think he can play any effect, even if you sell your face, it's more reliable than appearing in the psychotherapy room, don't tell me that you did such a stupid thing because you like him." ”

As soon as this remark came out, Albert didn't reply for a long time, and Archie frowned and squinted at him: "Don't tell me you really ......"

"Actually, I'm here to ask you for help." Albert changed the subject.

"What, if you mean to give him a chance......" Archie stared at him menacingly.

"Not this," Albert said, shaking his head, hesitating for a moment, "Actually, I'm bringing him here today, and I want you to diagnose Ranne's mental condition. ”

"What do you mean?"

Albert hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I think Rann has become a little strange since he recovered from his injury. ”

Archie frowned: "Are there any specific examples?" ”

"For example, he has not been able to recover his old memories for a long time," Albert supported his chin with his thumb, "and ...... He's behaving a little differently than before......"

After hesitating for a few seconds, he shook his head again: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I'm worried that it's because of the impact of the fire, which left a trauma on his psyche, I wanted him to go to the psychiatric department when I was in the hospital before, but he himself resisted, Rann is also a psychology graduate, if he is on guard, it is useless to forcibly intervene in psychotherapy." ”

"That's why you brought him here?" Archie raised an eyebrow, he grudgingly accepted the explanation, "But I refuse. ”

"Why?"

"First, my field of study is criminal psychology, and I don't have much research on mental illness, and second," Archie looked at him, "even if he does have psychological problems, what does that have to do with you?" I don't remember you being such a good old man. ”

Albert opened his mouth, and finally under Archie's gaze, Hongxia gradually climbed up to the base of his ear, his eyes unconsciously dodging.

“…… Hey, you won't really ......."

"Please, Archie," said Albert, "you're the only expert in the field of psychology I know, and only you can help me." ”

Archie was silent for a moment, then looked away: "I'll do a psychoanalysis for him, but I can't guarantee the result." ”

Albert breathed a sigh of relief: "That's enough." ”
