Archie's heart beat faster unconsciously, and he barely calmed down and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"That's right, I heard that you are a psychological consultant in the bureau, can you do a psychological assessment for one of our members?" "Don't worry, it's just a simple test of your mental state, and you don't need a very professional psychological analysis." ”

"Psychological assessment is inherently professional," Archie interrupted him unpleasantly, "and I've heard that you have the most high-level psychologists there, so why do you need the help of my little psychological counselor?" ”

Geffer smiled bitterly: "Look at what you said, your research level in the field of psychology is also well-known in the industry, and besides, the headquarters is now understaffed, and the highest level of psychiatrist in Arkham City is you, you see?" ”

Archie was only habitually mocking, he still had something in his heart that he wanted to report, and pursed his lips: "Got it, let your people come over, I happen to be free now." ”

Just do them a favor, and he can have a little weight when he talks about Rann later.

Gaffersche soon called Edmund to Archie's office.

Archie sorted out the information in his office, because he wanted to report Rann to the inspection bureau, he took out the information he had hidden before, he had not disposed of this information, thinking that he might be able to use it in the future, or if Rann couldn't help but make a move to Albert, he at least had such a handle in his hand, so that he would not be powerless to fight back.

Hearing a knock on the office door, Archie said coldly, "Please come in." ”

He turned to look at the patient, who was following Benton who looked very old, probably in his early twenties, with brown hair, freckles on his face, and a restrained expression, and his ocean-blue eyes subconsciously looked away when he looked at the person, not walking side by side with Benton but slightly behind the ball of his foot.

Emotional sensitivity. Sense, can look at the face but dare not look at people, potential low self-esteem, lack of assertiveness, may live in an environment lacking love and attention during the teenage years.

From the moment Edmund walked in, the professional psychoanalysis had already begun, and Archie turned his pen and raised his chin: "Just sit in the chair opposite, I'm not used to a third person on the side when I'm evaluating." ”

The captain shrugged his shoulders, pressed Edmund into his chair, and put his arm on his shoulder to comfort: "Don't worry, it's just a routine reinstatement evaluation, since we're not at headquarters, so let Dr. Archie do it for you, I'm sure you'll be fine." ”

Edmund scratched his hair a little embarrassed when he heard this: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble before, it's me who is too nervous......"

"Haha, it's okay, my first mission was like you, everyone can understand it." Geffre patted him on the shoulder, his expression full of concern for his juniors, "I'll go out first, and then I'll ask Dr. Archie." ”

Archie nodded.

The door to the office closes, leaving only Archie and Edmund.

Archie was not interested in greeting the patient, and said succinctly: "I will use a psychological questionnaire to briefly assess your psychological condition, I will ask you to answer, try not to answer for more than 3 seconds, I want the answer in your inner subconscious, understand?" ”

After getting Edmund's reply, Archie went straight to the point: "You are on an island, and there are three places on the island for you to choose from, will you choose the top of the mountain, the forest, or the beach?" ”

Edmund hesitated for a second: "Beach." ”

Archie glanced at him: "Which place will you choose to replenish your food, the beach, the riverside, the mountainside." ”

"By the river."

Archie's questions became faster and faster, and Edmund was able to think for a moment at first, but was soon overwhelmed by the speed of his speech and serious expression, and unconsciously sped up his answers, sometimes blurting out the answers without even thinking.

The process of asking and answering lasted for nearly an hour, and Edmund was already confused by the end of the question, and his answers were almost numb, and Archie's originally relaxed attitude gradually became solemn.

The initial question was okay, Edmund's answer was similar to Archie's profile, a young man with low self-esteem who lacked self-confidence and security.

But the further back you go, the more bizarre the answer becomes.

Edmund is more sensitive to colors close to blood than other colors. Feel.

He doesn't like critters and lacks empathy for the people around him, but he's pretending he cares.

He seems to have been hiding his true nature for a long time, but recently he has decided not to, and in the minutiae he boldly reveals his cold-blooded side, like a bloodthirsty beast that has been recognized, showing its dangerous fangs to test his master's bottom line.

Damn, how did such a person get into the inspection bureau? Do they recruit people without checking their backgrounds?

Archie remained indifferent on the surface, and when the hour-long question and answer was over, both sides quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Is Dr. Archie here? Something happened to the prisoner on the last interrogation. ”

"Wait a minute." Archie stood up, looked at Edmund, who seemed to be sitting in the chair and had not recovered a little, subconsciously tightened the notebook in his hand, and said quietly, "You can go." ”

"Hey, that's ...... result."

"When the results come out, I will give them directly to your captain, now that the psychological evaluation has ended, you are not needed here." Archie's tone was impatient, and Edmund shivered, his round blue eyes seemed to say something, innocently like a fawn in the forest.

Archie was not fooled by his appearance, and Edmund finally did not speak, silently walking out of the office under Archie's supervision, and the two soon parted ways around a corner.

Once he was done with the matter, Archie called Geffre into his office, intending to talk to him in person about Edmund's problem and, most importantly, Rann.

He had just walked to the door of the office, his hand grasping the doorknob, and his expression changed slightly.

He clearly remembered that he had locked the door before he came out.

And this is a police station, who would dare to commit a crime here?

Gently pressing down, pushing the door open, Archie stood vigilantly in the doorway, looking into the office, there was no one inside, and at a glance, the materials were all in their original place.

Archie walked into the office, didn't close the door, suddenly remembered something, took a few steps forward with some eagerness, walked to his desk, and keenly noticed that the position of a document on the desk had changed.

The office door closed quietly, and Archie didn't look back, his hand slowly reaching for the gun in the drawer.

Just as he was about to grasp the handle of the gun, a hand suddenly pressed his hand in such force that he could not resist, and Archie turned his head sharply, almost touching the face of the brown-haired youth.

The brown-haired young man looked completely contrary to Archie's original profile, his lips hooked, his skin pale, and his innocent blue eyes full of madness and bloodlust, like a harmless creature tearing off the camouflage of its exterior to reveal the true face of a monster.

"Shhhh Edmund grinned, his face was pale, the corners of his mouth almost reached the root of his ears, and he said in a dumb voice:

"Your Excellency Rann asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

Inside the office, the air is stagnant, almost static.

Archie's mind went blank for a moment.

"Doctor Archie? Are you in there? Geffle's voice came from outside, and Archie heard Edmund whisper in his ear, "I hope you're a smart man, doctor." ”

In the next second, the figure standing behind Archie disappeared.

Archie didn't even know how he did it, he stood there and calmed down for a moment, then realized that the information about Rann on the table had disappeared as expected.

But Edmund's copy is still there.

It's as if he's waiting for his choice.

The knock on the door was still ringing, and no one responded when Geffer knocked a few times, and was wondering if Archie had gone out temporarily, and the next moment the office door opened, Archie stood at the door and looked coldly, turned around and said, "Come in." ”

Geffre hurriedly followed Archie, not noticing Archie's sudden cold attitude, or in his eyes, this highly professional psychiatrist has always been so cold, and this personality is nothing at all in the inspection bureau where strange people are frequent.

"How did it turn out?"

Archie raised his eyes, was silent for a while, and said, "He's normal, there's nothing too wrong with him. ”

It's just a suspected late stage of split personality, and the other personality is a high-IQ anti-social, and has become a loyal mad dog under the seat of an evil god.

"Oh, that's good." "I knew that kid wouldn't be knocked down so easily, and I was very optimistic about him from the beginning!" ”

The corners of Alkie's mouth twitched.

Yes, he wasn't knocked out, because the man was very happy to mutiny.

"Thank you so much for your help this time, Dr. Archie."

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture for me," Archie said, then fell silent again, his expression seemed to hesitate about something, and Geffre was keenly aware that Archie seemed to have something unfinished, "Is there anything else you have to do?" If there's anything I can do to help, just say it, and I'll help if I can. ”

"It's not ......," Archie rubbed the paper of his notebook, "I'm just a little curious about how your inspectorate chooses people." ”

"Would you like to join us?" Geffel's eyes lit up suddenly, and his expression became eager.

For some reasons, the inspection bureau has a great demand for psychiatrists, especially for their team of investigators who go to the front line, a capable psychiatrist is a coveted teammate, even if they can't be colleagues, they must try to build a good relationship, after all, they will always have a time to ask for help.

"No...... I just wanted to know something about the terms that were confidential when I didn't ask. ”

"Haha, it's not a secret." Geffer replied briskly, "There are many ways for our inspectorate to select talents, such as veterans and special agents, of course, the first batch, and in addition to that, there are also outstanding talents in various industries, just like Dr. Archie, if you are willing to join, you can immediately become a full-fledged investigator."

The psychiatrists directly under the bureau all have special offices, and we will also recruit some special talents. ”

He lowered his voice, "I mean, people in the folk who can sense special things, you might call them wizards or mediums, but they are just a bunch of poor people to us...... Well, I can't say much more about going down. ”

Archie pretended to be very interested: "Don't you need to investigate the background of those people in the private sector when you recruit?" ”

"Yes, of course it is, the recruitment of these talents is the most rigorous, because they are the most likely to go astray, so it is not only about the background, but also about the faith, and we ask that these people are atheists, or that the Lord of the faith is the prevailing belief at the moment,

For example, Catholics or something, so these people are the rarest, maybe only a few a year, each of which is a baby bump for the various investigator squads, but despite this, their loss rate is still high......"

Geffer sighed, "So you know why I value that kid so much, even though he's nervous. He feels like a rabbit, but at least his personality doesn't go astray, and most importantly, his induction test shows that he has no faith other than a desire to climb out of the place where he was born.

I like this kind of guy, and I don't have to worry about him suddenly giving me a back in a crisis. ”

Archie could barely hold back the indifferent expression on his face.

"By the way, Dr. Archie, don't you really consider joining us, there is nothing to say about the salary."

"No, I'm not considering leaving for now."

Archie sent Geffre away with a straight face, and after closing the office door, he finally couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Is this the result of the strict entry of the inspection bureau, hehe, what a long insight.

can be easily infiltrated, and it seems that the inspection bureau is completely untrustworthy.

It seems that the current situation can only be figured out by himself.

But how can you get Albert to retreat without revealing Ran's identity?

Archie had a headache, and he didn't think about it until he got off work.

When Archie gets off work, he can still see other police officers busy, but this does not affect Archie's punctual off-time, Archie's work is a psychological consultant, generally only interrogating prisoners, giving prisoners psychiatric evaluations and encountering extremely difficult serial psychopathic killers is when he shows his skills, and now the police station is busy mainly because of □□ problems, so naturally it is not his turn to work overtime.

It's just that when he walked to the underground garage, he accidentally ran into Albert, and it stands to reason that the other party should be the busiest time at this time, and it is unlikely that he will get off work at this point.

Feeling a little strange, Archie hesitated for a moment before following Albert and watching him drive out of the underground garage, and Archie quietly drove to follow.

After driving for a while, Archie felt that the section was becoming more and more familiar.

Based on the information he investigated, the path seemed to lead to Rann's psychotherapy room?

Archie was a little incredulous, that is to say, Albert actually skipped work to find Ran??

Archie and Albert grew up together, he knows this hair better than anyone else, the other party has a strong sense of responsibility and justice since he was a child, and has never done anything negligent in his duties, let alone take care of personal matters when the police station is busy.

Shocked, Archie even forgot to keep his distance, and at the next traffic light, Albert's car in front of him turned into an alleyway, Archie subconsciously followed, and then found that the other party's vehicle was parked in the depths of the alley, and the driver's seat was empty.

"Click."

Black hole hole gun. Aiming his mouth into the cab through the glass, Archie slowly turned his head to look at Albert, who was standing outside the window with a cold face.

He rarely saw Albert who was not smiling silly with sunshine, and for a moment he was in a trance, and for some reason he thought of the Edmund he had seen before.

Of course, it was just an illusion, and Albert was stunned for a moment after discovering that the person in the driver's seat was Archie, and the original indifferent expression on his face instantly converged.

He used a gun. Kou knocked on Archie's window, motioned for him to lower the window, and asked angrily, "What are you doing behind me, I almost thought it was some gang member who didn't have long eyes." ”

Archie put that illusion behind him just now, and said coldly: "I also want to ask you, everyone in the bureau is busy, and you are chasing people during work hours?" ”

Albert was stunned: "I didn't, I went to track down Culens, according to the informant's report, he is the recent red man in Arkham underground, and it is likely that he will take over Black Poker and become the new leader." ”

Archie didn't expect to get this answer, but he soon realized that it was wrong: "This road is not to go to the dungeon, but it is closer to Rann's psychotherapy room." ”

Albert's eyes became even more strange: "I shouldn't have taken you to Ran's psychotherapy room, how do you know?" ”

Archie chuckled inwardly.

"Are you meeting behind my back???" Albert beeped very loudly.

Archie twitched the corners of his mouth, and his heart was lowered again, laughing at himself in his heart, he was really suspicious lately, Albert could detect something, he was a stupid dog......

"It's just that I've heard that someone has recently opened a mental clinic in this neighborhood, and it's been very popular lately, so I don't think there's anyone else except Ran, who can make the prisoner speak...... And haven't you heard of it? Don't answer me with questions," Archie sneered, looking haughty and mean when he made this expression because of his face, "after all, you're going to see him." ”

"Well, it's really not, at least not exactly, the reason I went to Rann's psychotherapy room was actually to wait for the rabbit, Callens's whereabouts began to be unpredictable after the accident on the Arkham gang's side, and the recent information I received was that he often haunted the Rann neighborhood ......"

Under Archie's gaze, Albert whispered more and more, and finally shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, I'm really a little worried about Ran, I don't think it's a good thing for Black Poker to find him, I got him involved, otherwise he wouldn't have entered Black Poker's sight." ”

Archie didn't say anything more, walked up to Albert's car and opened the door: "Let's go, then." ”

"Huh?"

"Go to work, don't you have to wait for the rabbit?"

"Oh! Here it comes! After years of tacit understanding, Albert immediately understood what Alch meant, and he quickly returned to the cab and said with a grin, "This reminds me of when we first joined the police department, but unfortunately you rarely go out on the scene, and I am still used to acting with you." ”

Archie let out an 'um' and said lightly, "I'm used to staying behind. ”

"I know that your talent is more suitable for the rear, and if even you go to be a policeman, my aunt will beat me to death, she originally had a lot of opinions because you entered the police station with me, and I don't provide small cookies when I come to the door."

Albert continued to babble in the driver's seat, but Archie didn't speak, but the frost on his face melted slightly.

"It's a pity, if my uncle and aunt were still alive......"

Albert's words came to an abrupt halt, and he looked at Archie with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry. ”

"Nothing."

There was no negativity on Archie's face, but the atmosphere in the car was not as harmonious as before.

Fortunately, they drove to Rann's psychotherapy room and began to squat, and in less than an hour, they actually squatted on the target.

Seeing Cullens get out of the black car and head straight for Rann's mental clinic, Albert couldn't hold back any longer, and got out of the car before Archie could react, blocking in front of Cullens.

The little brother behind Cullens immediately took out his gun, but was stopped by Culens, he looked coldly at Albert who was blocking in front of him, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Isn't this our big sheriff, how can you have time to block me, a little person?" ”

"You're not a small person anymore, Cullens, you and I both know what you've been up to lately."

"Now that you know, how dare you appear in front of me?"

"I can't let you hurt innocent people, go away, Karens, you and I can't have an outside grudge on you."

Cullens opened his mouth, surprise flashing across his face.

At this time, Archie also rushed over, helplessly looking at the two sides of the confrontation, and could only stand behind Albert.

Their combination is just outside the psychotherapy room, and players can't do anything if they don't notice it, especially since there are three people who look good, all of them are beautiful men with their own characteristics, and as we all know, good looks are important NPCs in the game, because passers-by don't need to pinch their faces well.

That is to say, when three important NPCs appeared, all of a sudden the players couldn't move their legs, and they all looked over there, and there were applications to sneak and eavesdrop on their faces to see the excitement.

Archie has a keen eye for the surroundings, and he doesn't want to be the one who is being watched as lively: "Excuse me, can't you talk in another place?" ”

"Okay, let's go first, I have something to go in." Cullens gestured to the psychotherapy room, which Albert had blocked behind him.

"If you want to go, you will go first." Albert clasped his arms in his hands, "It is one of the duties of the police to protect citizens from threats from gang members. ”

"Oh? Really, why don't you think of a way to save people who are being threatened elsewhere? Karlens scoffed, "And don't make a mistake about it, the one inside won't be your turn to protect." ”

As soon as these words came out, Archie's face changed instantly.

Albert frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Cullens stared at his expression, suddenly understood something, glanced at Archie's expression again, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "It seems that you really don't know anything." ”

He originally thought that Albert was the first to know Ran's identity, but now it seems that Albert doesn't know anything about Ran's identity, which makes him feel comfortable, very good, he doesn't have to think about getting along with his new colleagues after joining Ran's side, otherwise the mere thought of doing things with this hypocritical policeman in the future will make him want to vomit.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Albert wanted to ask again, but Archie grabbed his arm sharply, "That's enough Albert, let's go back." ”

Can't stay here any longer! He could see that this Cullens also knew Ran's identity, and it seemed that he was still working for Ranne.

It's too dangerous to stay here.

"Archie, what the hell is wrong with you today? It's so weird, you should be on my side. Albert looked puzzled.

Archie almost broke out and sweated profusely, where is his former clever and brave friend, is it said that people will have the side effect of declining IQ when they fall in love?

"Don't come any closer here, Albert!"

He was really worried about his best friend, and if he paid so much attention to Ran, if one day he investigated something that he shouldn't know, he didn't know how he died!

"Why?? Don't you even support me? Albert stared at Archie in amazement and blurted out, "Could it be that you like Rann too?!" ”

Albert's words directly stunned Archie.

He opened his mouth, glanced at Cullens who was watching the show on the sidelines, and spat out a feeble rebuttal: "Can you stop talking yet?" ”

Albert (dog vigilant): "Why did you keep me from talking?" Did I guess it? ”

Archie sighed desperately and rubbed his forehead.

The players stared at the three men in amazement, and then wrote only two words all over their faces.
