Boom –

Torrential rain and winds swept across Arkham City, lightning flew through the clouds like silver snakes, and deafening thunder rang out from time to time in the sky, startling the birds of the forest below, and this hiss was quickly overshadowed by the thunder.

Somewhere in Arkham's old villa, which used to be the exclusive domain of the wealthy, but for unknown reasons, the family died mysteriously one night a few days ago, and the house was branded as unlucky.

The inspectors are obviously not afraid of the name of the so-called haunted house, and in fact their first step in arriving at Arkham is to investigate these possible mysterious things in order to find out the culprit of the change in the city.

Strangely, they have searched many places so far, but they have found no traces.

It's like someone has been preempted.

"Tsk, can't you find anything here?" Someone in the team was already starting to get impatient and kicked the stairs next to it, and the dilapidated building suddenly let out a tooth-aching creak, "Hey, are you really sure there's something here?" ”

The last sentence was clearly expressing dissatisfaction with Edmund, who was walking last, and Edmund could also hear his impatience, and lowered his head to speak.

"Okay, calm down." The captain still came out to play the round, "Clues are hard to find in the first place, Edmund, do you feel what is here?" ”

Edmund nodded hurriedly, pursed his lips, and his face was pale: "I can feel ......"

"Oh, yes, that's what you said when you passed by Arkham Hospital, and the last time we went to the amusement park on Tenth Avenue, when you passed by the church."

The man sneered: "Oh yes, I remember, someone seems to have gone crazy on the street, and when he first walked into Arkham, he said that there were weirdness everywhere, and as a result, nothing was found, and the captain was embarrassed, how did you be embarrassed to continue talking nonsense." ”

Because it's all true.

Edmund silently tightened his grip on the necklace around his neck.

At this point, the necklace was emitting a slight heat, reminding him that something really existed here.

It was the only thing of value in his hand, which could send out heat as a reminder when the weird approached, but because of the origin, he couldn't and didn't want to say it.

"Bart." The captain's tone began to become serious.

"It's true, Captain!" Bart couldn't help but get angry, "I know you want to say that this kid's inspiration is higher than ours and sharper than ours, but something has gone wrong since he entered this city, let me ask you, who in this team is not more inspired?" If we don't have the corresponding 'qualifications', how can we get into the inspection bureau, but do the rest of the team feel anything? ”

There was silence all around, and the rest of the team watched Edmund being harassed coldly, and no one stood up for him except the captain.

“…… Let's look for this place first. In the end, the captain was no longer able to speak for Edmund under pressure from others.

The group walked silently around the villa, but in the end, nothing strange happened here, and of course they didn't find any traces.

Edmund walked at the back of the line as he left, his face getting more and more ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything more, except when the captain passed by, he grabbed his sleeve like a last straw.

"Team, captain...... There is a ...... in the back, in the back."

The captain glanced at Edmund inexplicably, then looked behind him, still seeing nothing, and feeling nothing.

He sighed, and finally had to admit that what the others said might be right, and reached out and patted Edmund on the shoulder: "Edmund, find a time to see a psychiatrist." ”

Edmund was stunned for a moment, then reacted to the captain's meaning, and his face turned pale: "I, I ......"

"Don't worry, I won't report to the headquarters for the time being, you ...... Think about it. ”

The captain patted Edmund on the back again and quickened his pace to keep up with his teammates in front.

Edmund was at the end and couldn't help but whisper, "But...... It's really there. ”

Behind him, the shadow grew longer and longer, and finally formed a thin figure with an emaciated body, like a skeleton covered in a layer of human skin, and the whispers reached Edmund's ears.

【Butterfly...... Butterfly ......】

[The butterfly is about to fly away]

……

Rann has been worrying about something lately.

That is, recently, his psychological clinic has been lacking in income because of the arrival of players, but he always feels that he is getting farther and farther away from the sign of psychotherapist.

The normal psychotherapy room usually receives guests who have problems or have a mental cold, but what is the treatment room that he has received recently?

"Rann Ran, do you have someone you like?"

"What do you think of me (Glamor) (Enchanting Skill activated)"

"Man, I've taken a fancy to you, come and be my man (dog head holding rose)"

"Wife, hey, wife"

Not to mention mental colds and problems, they are social terrorists who create problems for others!

Rann was extremely tired and lifted his forehead, and Ogle poured Rann a cup of hot tea at the right time.

"Thanks, Ogle."

Ogle shook his head silently, stared at Rann for half a second, put down the teacup, raised his broad palm, and placed it in Ran's hair under Ran's inexplicable expression, removing a thin thread that had been glued to him for an unknown moment.

"Hmm...... Thank you. Rann subconsciously said when he saw him take something off.

The female player who was doing psychotherapy was full of excitement: "Thank you, it's knocked!" ”

Rann:???

Rann put on a constant smile and did not change his face: "This guest, it's time, it's time for you to go." ”

"Huh? Nothing? Then I'll charge it for another hour! ”

"Sorry, that's the end of business for today."

The female player exited the psychotherapy room with a regretful face, and then uploaded the picture she had just taken with an excited face.

"Woo woo woo beast and rose, knock to knock! 》

Since Rann temporarily brought Ogle over as a bodyguard that day, Ogle has stayed inexplicably and has not left, usually serving tea and drawing in the psychotherapy room, and players can see him when they come in.

I don't know when there was a mysterious organization of CP addicts in the forum, because Ogle was sloppy and huge, and Ran's inhuman beauty had a wonderful chemistry, and a lot of CP fans appeared.

For example, in this photo uploaded by a female player, the angle of the shot is just right, and the action of Ogle raising his hand to help Rann remove the thin line looks like stroking the boy's hair.

A batch of screaming CP fans suddenly appeared below.

and passers-by who entered by mistake for unknown reasons.

It's an even function: What, hasn't the popularity of this NPC passed, and this game is also absolutely amazing, so just stir up an idol NPC to pull the heat, right?

24L: Something unidentified upstairs has crept in.

It's an even function: Seriously, I logged into the game and took a look, and it looks really good, but it's not that impressive, right?

No one in the post paid attention to him, but it couldn't stop this person from jumping up and down.

It's an even function: It's not that there are no paper people who became popular before, but this kind of thin paper man with neither plot support nor character design can be popular for so long It's bizarre, it won't be the game's official looking for a water army.

25L: Can anyone be an opinion leader now, what does it matter to you what NPCs are chasing, and Ran's charm is really great, you can just take a look at the card in the car.

It's an even function: I've been in.

26L: And what were your inspiration points at the time?

Is an even function: what does it have to do with it?

27L: Yes, some players have already discovered that the greater the number of inspiration points, the more they seem to be attracted to Rann, even if they don't usually eat this type of face, but it's good to go offline.

28l: The official really has a heart, woo, from the little easter eggs of this detail, you can see that Ran's identity is not ordinary, turn up the inspiration and then enter to see his wife is the happiest thing, and the paper chaser in the game is cheap, and there is no need to worry about the collapse of the house.

The follow-up is also this kind of comment.,The final defeat of the tongue battle is the final defeat of the even function.,I don't know if the follow-up will log in to the game to find out.,Or just disappear.。

……

Unbeknownst to Ran, Rann watched another player who tried to spell a charm skill in the middle leave, closing the door to the treatment room and sighing deeply.

It's not easy to make this money.

Since last time, while players are no longer stuck in the treatment room, they have discovered another way not to be chased away by Rann is to walk into the therapy room as his 'guest'.

Of course, they didn't come to heal at all, and among the players who became Ran's guests, some of them wanted to brush up on his favorability, some of them were simply obsessed with Ran's face, and some of them were Diao Min who wanted to charm him.

If it weren't for the small amount of money they paid, Rann would have kicked the players out long ago.

But then again, after not receiving normal guests for too long, Rann can't help but miss his career in his previous life, and always feels that if he continues like this, his career will progress in a strange direction.

Jingle bell~

The wind chimes in the doorway rattled crisply, and Rann looked up to see a new client walk into the treatment room.

And on the head of this guest, there is no white letter.

Not a gamer?

Ran's eyes lit up, and he hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a smile like a spring breeze: "Hello, please come and sit." ”

The person who came was stunned at the moment he saw Rann, his face obviously flashed with trance and obsession, he stood in place for a long time and did not move, for a long time, before he reacted, and subconsciously sat opposite him according to Ran's request, but soon he suddenly realized what he had done, his face turned pale, and he wanted to stand up and run away.

But Rann didn't give him that chance and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Edmund, Edmund Walker."

"Edmund, what's the problem lately?"

A look of trance flashed on Edmund's face, and he opened his mouth: "I ......"

"I've had a fight with my colleagues recently." "It's a bad feeling, I can feel their suspicion of me, I really see something, but they don't believe what I say and let me see a psychiatrist." ”

"Trust has always been an important theme in the workplace." Rann put down his notes and felt that he had finally regained a little of what he felt like as a psychotherapist, "So did you choose to come to me because you thought they were right?" ”

Edmund shook his head and reached out and grabbed his chest. Before the clothes: "No, I, I know I'm not wrong...... But I don't know, I don't know how to make them believe in me, I don't know what to do anymore, I definitely can't give up this job, absolutely can't! ”

Rann saw the deep confusion on his face.

He thought, he knew, that the guest wasn't mentally ill.

His biggest problem is actually from the bottom of his heart inferiority complex and insecurity, even if he subconsciously firmly believes that he is right, but he still obediently accepts the opinions of others and comes here, because he can't believe in himself at all, but blindly hopes to get trust from others.

But if you don't even believe in yourself, how can you win the trust of others?

Rann tore off a blank piece of paper and handed it to Edmund.

"What is this?"

"Please draw a clock on this piece of paper and remember to mark the time."

Edmund did so, dazed, but he didn't quite understand the meaning of doing so, and drew the clock on the white paper and returned it to Rann: "Is that so?" ”

"Yes, this is a simple mental state test, as long as you can fill in the time completely on the clock, it can roughly indicate that you are not mentally abnormal, and you are still maintaining a minimum of normal thinking."

Edmund was stunned for a moment, and his voice trembled a little: "That...... That is to say......"

"Well," Rann said with a smile as he glanced at the clock on the white paper, "I'm sure, and definitely, they're wrong, there's nothing wrong with your spirit, and now you can trust yourself and my judgment at the same time, and you don't have any problems." ”

Believe.

Edmund's heart, which was originally as adrift as duckweed, suddenly fell to the ground calmly at this moment, and Ran's smile was reflected in his eyes, and he actually felt extremely relieved.

Incredible.

It was like a lost traveler who had found a home, and the Tired Bird returned to the nest built for it, and all the confusion, fear, and fear that had arisen since entering the city seemed to have been purified by this smile.

It makes people want to get closer, they want to see this smile more......

Edmund couldn't help but raise his hand under Ran's quizzing gaze.

And in the next second.

Edmund snapped back to his senses as if he had been burned hard, and grabbed the necklace around his neck with an ugly face.

Ran: "What's wrong?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Edmund looked ugly and stood up suddenly, "I'm sorry I should go!" ”

At this time, the necklace he wore around his neck was emitting an astonishing heat, which made Edmund wake up and fill his heart with deep fear.

Because he had never felt the necklace so hot, it was almost like turning into burning iron, which had never happened to him before, even when he was dying, but at the same time, he was glad that he had just been burned and woke up.

The person in front of you...... He's obviously not human!

Edmund hurriedly stood up and tried to leave, but what he didn't expect was that Rann didn't stop him, but just said suspiciously, "Are the guests leaving?" ”

“…… Yes, yes, I suddenly remembered something urgent. ”

But it's not even an hour!

Lan En's psychological treatment room is free for the first hour, and then more than an hour will start to charge a system, and it is rare to have normal business recently, and just now I obviously feel that he played very well and professionally

But there is nothing to be done about the guests in a hurry.

Well, I hope he is really in a hurry, not a little stuck in a little prostitution.

Rann glanced at Edmund deeply: "Then the guest should go and deal with the urgent matter first, I believe we will meet again soon." ”

Edmund didn't hear what Rann was saying at all, the excess fear weighed on his heart, and his ears were full of the sound of his own heartbeat, and he made it to the door of the treatment room very smoothly, twisting the doorknob, and it seemed that the hope of escape was close at hand.

And this terrifying existence didn't seem to have any intention of stopping him, and the escape was too smooth, Edmund's heartbeat gradually eased, and he couldn't help but look back.

And then Ran's voice finally drifted into his ears.

“…… I'm sure we'll see each other soon. ”

He just sat upright in his place, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that a future has been foreseen in which Edmund personally came to him.
