Please charm this NPC

It was another morning that felt like my body was being hollowed out.Ran Wenyu opened his eyes, without any intention of struggling.

As the saying goes, "Two times and no more times", the first nightmare may be an accident, the second nightmare may be a coincidence, but the third nightmare... Ran Wenyu is sure, there must be something wrong with him, he can't Then continue to have a fluke mentality for this abnormality and turn a blind eye.

Although he was extremely tired, Ran Wenyu felt uneasy and couldn't fall asleep again.He used his greatest perseverance to get up, dressed and washed, and ate some bread and milk for breakfast, and then began to make preparations for going out.

Due to his habit since he was a child, every time he went out, Ran Wenyu wrapped himself up tightly.Masks, hats, loose casual clothes... After dressing up properly, he leaned in front of the mirror and looked at himself, quite satisfied with himself with only two eyes exposed in the mirror.

Because the lower half of his face was covered by a black mask, the boy in the mirror looked more refined, but because he couldn't sleep well for three consecutive days, his eyes were no longer as lively as before, but were covered with a layer of sleepy mist , a little dumb.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with this attire, Ran Wenyu pulled down the brim of his hat again, and then pushed open the door of the apartment.

Walking through the corridor and down the stairs, Ran Wenyu finally stood in the sun again after a few days. He couldn't help squinting his eyes, as if he wasn't quite used to the bright light outside.

——However, such dazzling sunlight seemed to make him feel some kind of inexplicable sense of security.

Taking out his mobile phone and looking at the address he wrote down yesterday, Ran Wenyu walked forward.

The psychological clinic he was going to was only one street away from his home. Ran Wenyu walked out of the community, and after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, he saw the sign of "Home of Tranquility" at the corner of a street.

The sign is very simple, with only these four characters written on it, the color is black and red, it doesn't look "peaceful" at all, and those four characters are not a standard font that can be seen everywhere, the strokes are random, with a kind of Indifference, elegant arrogance - in short, beautiful and very distinctive.

Ran Wenyu stood under the sign, looked at the closed door in front of him, and looked around, not knowing what to do for a while.After all, this so-called "House of Tranquility" doesn't look like a psychological clinic at all from the outside. If he hadn't read so many good reviews from the navy before, he would have suspected that it was a... funeral parlor.

Well, the name Home of Tranquility, coupled with the black and red signboard, is a perfect match for the funeral home!

The corners of Ran Wenyu's mouth hidden under the mask twitched violently, and he really couldn't figure out the brain circuit of the person who opened this psychological clinic.No matter how good its publicity on the Internet is, most of the customers who come here must be persuaded to leave at the door of the store. No wonder it is quiet here, and there is no sign of a customer at all.

Ran Wenyu sighed lightly, and couldn't help but retreat a little.But after checking the psychological clinic closest to him, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​changing another place, thinking that he has come all the time, so he just went in to have a look, and it was not a waste of time.

Thinking of this, he finally took a deep breath and pushed the store door open.

The store is very cool, and as soon as Ran Wenyu stepped in, he felt refreshed.

Compared with the weird signboard outside the store, the interior decoration is unexpectedly normal, with white walls, light blue floor tiles, and milky white reception desk, it looks like a serious clinic.

The reception room was not too big, except for the reception desk and the green plants at the four corners, there was nothing there, and there were no seats for the guests to wait - but according to the degree of desolation here, there probably would not be any seats.

Sitting behind the reception desk was a young man in his twenties. His face could only be called handsome, but his brows and eyes were drooping, his expression was numb, and he didn't respond to customers pushing the door to enter—probably because he knew the store The benefits are not good, so I completely lost enthusiasm for work.

Such a store will probably be closed in a few days.Ran Wenyu slandered like this, walked to the reception desk, took off his mask, and asked, "Hello, is this a psychological clinic?"

Hearing Ran Wenyu's question, the young man finally raised his drooping eyelids.He didn't respond to Ran Wenyu's amazing appearance, he just squeezed out a perfunctory stiff smile: "Hi, this is the 'Home of Tranquility' psychological clinic, do you have an appointment?"

"Appointment?" Ran Wenyu's cat pupils widened in astonishment, "No, there is still an appointment here?"

——This kind of place is so cold that ghosts don't come, you need an appointment!

The young man was unmoved by Ran Wenyu's surprise: "Yes, we need to make an appointment in advance."

"...I'm here for the first time, and I still need to make an appointment?" Ran Wenyu's eyes were full of bewilderment

Youth: "Yes, if you want to see a doctor, please make an appointment in advance."

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

—Okay, he found another reason for no customers.Even if you are not intimidated by the sign at the door and enter the store, you will still be so angry with this damn appointment mechanism that you will turn your head and leave.

Anyway, Ran Wenyu was going to leave.

Just as he pulled the brim of his hat and turned to leave, the phone on the reception desk rang suddenly.The young man who had been acting numb seemed to be awakened, and he answered the phone quickly, and said in a respectful voice, "Yes... yes... I see."

After answering three times in a row, the young man hung up the phone, stood up, and stopped Ran Wenyu who had just walked to the door: "Sir, please stay!"

Ran Wenyu put one hand on the doorknob and turned his head inexplicably.

The professional smile on the young man's face finally changed his mind: "Now, our psychiatrist is just free, please go in and see a doctor now."

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

Obviously the young man in charge of the reception didn't tell anyone about himself, but the phone rang by such a coincidence, which made Ran Wenyu feel creepy.He subconsciously looked up and looked around, and saw a camera facing the reception desk, and then he felt relieved—the doctor must have seen him through the camera, right?

Thinking he had found an explanation, Ran Wenyu finally relaxed. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't leave directly, but returned to the reception desk.

Seeing him come back, the young man seemed relieved, quickly picked up a registration book, opened a new page, put it in front of Ran Wenyu, and asked him to register his information.

Ran Wenyu has never been to a psychological clinic, or in other words, he rarely even goes to the hospital, so it is not clear whether this is a necessary procedure.However, he was not good at rejecting others, so he simply picked up a pen and filled in basic information such as name, age, gender, and contact information.

As for the reason for the last consultation, he hesitated for a moment, and simply wrote down three words: "Nightmare".

After completing the filling, the young man took the registration book back and pressed a switch on the reception desk. The next second, the door on the right side of the reception desk opened. It was dark behind the door, and it was unclear what was going on.

"Mr. Ran." The young man learned of Ran Wenyu's name through the registration information, so he called, "Please go in, Dr. Ai is waiting for you in the consulting room."

Ran Wenyu nodded to the young man, turned around and walked towards the opened door, but he didn't go in directly, but stood at the door and observed the situation.

Behind the door is a dark corridor, the floor is covered with black marble tiles, and the three walls are also covered with black wallpaper, the wallpaper is of unknown material, the black has beautiful and mysterious silver lines, and it has a fluorescent self. The lines emanate from it, faintly illuminating the dark passage, and at the end of the road is an equally dark, closed door.

Although the decoration of this corridor is a bit weird, there is nothing unusual about it. Ran Wenyu slandered the clinic owner's aesthetics after seeing a ghost, and finally walked in, and after he entered, the door behind him closed automatically .

The corridor doesn't look very long from the outside, it's only about twenty meters away, but when you're in it, the surroundings are pitch black, and the feeling of oppression and fear suddenly sweeps over, making this road feel like a Extra long.

This feeling of oppression is so unbearable, even Ran Wenyu, who has always been bold and heartless, can't help speeding up his pace, wanting to walk to the end as soon as possible, but the dark door in front of him is clearly approaching. It is close at hand, but it seems to be far away in the sky, and this corridor is also like a mysterious and treacherous passage, leading the people in it across time and space, to the unknown abyss .

Just when Ran Wenyu was thinking more and more, the more ominous he felt, and when his back was gradually soaked in cold sweat, he finally touched the door and pushed it open forcefully.

And behind the door is not the terrifying indescribable thing he imagined, but a room filled with warmth and whiteness, surrounded by vibrant emerald green.

Ran Wenyu stood at the door, with the deep and treacherous black behind him, and the peaceful and comfortable white in front of him, as if standing at the junction of hell and heaven.

The bright sunlight came in from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in front of Ran Wenyu, casting a bright halo on the man in a white coat standing in front of the window with his back turned to him.Hearing that the door was opened, the man turned around and looked at Ran Wenyu with a subconsciously reassuring smile on his lips.

The man is extremely handsome, on the same level as Ran Wenyu in appearance, but has a completely different beauty.He is tall and handsome, with deep and three-dimensional features, and his whole body is full of the elegance and dignity of a mature man. His temperament is as peaceful as the deep sea, and as calm as a mountain.

Ran Wenyu suddenly found another reason why this clinic called "The Home of Tranquility" has received unanimous praise on the Internet. In addition to the sailors who take money to do things, it is estimated that all the patients who have seen this psychiatrist are working for him. Their male gods desperately call CALL.

——Facing this face, no one would have the heart to say something bad, even if the other party had weird aesthetics and poor professional ability.

Even Ran Wenyu, who has conquered all over the world with a cute baby face, has to feel that this face is in line with his own aesthetics everywhere, it is what he wants to be in his dreams!

Finding that Ran Wenyu was staring at him in a daze, the man seemed to have been used to this situation for a long time, he smiled indifferently, and walked towards Ran Wenyu: "Please come in. Let me introduce myself, my name is Ai Liangjing, the clerk of this clinic Psychiatrist, what's your name?"

Ran Wenyu subconsciously followed the man's greeting and took a few steps forward, completely shutting the door of the dark corridor behind him, and then took the hand extended by the man: "My name is Ran Wenyu. Hello, Dr. Ai."

Ai Liangjing's hand was a bit cold, but it was not the kind of coldness that would be felt outdoors in winter, but like a piece of cold jade, slightly cool and moist.His fingers are slender and strong, and his nails have been carefully trimmed without any blemishes. He is not inferior to Ran Wenyu, a second-rate anchor who has attracted a large number of manipulative anchors with only one pair of hands.

When these two hands, which seem to have been carefully crafted by God, are held together, the harmony is palpitating, as if they should always hold each other like this, bringing people the most beautiful visual enjoyment.

——It's a pity that the owners of these two hands are not so charming.

After politely shaking hands and leaving, the panic and helplessness that Ran Wenyu felt in the corridor finally dissipated completely. He looked around this warm and pleasant consulting room, slightly dumbfounded: "The decoration of this room is very good, why the corridor has to be Being made like that? Walking there, even a normal person will be driven crazy?!"

Ran Wenyu's tone was a bit impolite and reproachful, but Ai Liangjing didn't think it was disobedient. He just smiled and led Ran Wenyu to move forward: "This is my intentional design. Most of the psychological problems in human beings are caused by The negative emotions in my heart were suppressed too much and could not be vented, so it gradually distorted the original normal mind. The function of that corridor is to further amplify these negative emotions hidden deep in my heart, allowing despair, pain, and regret to surface. When you come out of the water, there is nowhere to hide—and only by finding the origin of these negative emotions can you completely cure the patient’s psychological problems.”

Ran Wenyu didn't know anything about psychology, and he couldn't judge whether Ai Liangjing's remarks had any scientific basis.As a layman, he could only accept this explanation, and sat on the leather recliner leaning against the glass window.

"In addition, the corridor has another function, which is to let the patients relax completely." Ai Liangjing took a glass of water, handed it to Ran Wenyu, and continued to talk freely.

I don't know where the water was obtained from. It's clear and sweet, even more delicious than the so-called "pure mountain spring water" on the market. The words showed a puzzled expression: "Let the patient relax completely? Are you sure?"

"Sure." Ai Liangjing nodded with a smile, "The more oppressive and uncomfortable the corridor feels, the more peaceful and beautiful this consultation room will be in the eyes of patients, like a harbor where the soul docks. This strong contrast can Let the patients who feel alienated and distrustful of the psychiatrist quickly accept the existence of the psychiatrist, and when they enter the consultation room and see the doctor, they can experience the comfort of being redeemed."

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——Holy shit, such an arrangement is simply too scheming, right? !The contrast between hell and heaven, coupled with Ai Liangjing's face that looks like a seraphim in heaven, no matter how wary people are, they probably won't be able to say "no" to him.

This is like a different kind of "drawbridge effect". When you are in extreme fear and panic, you are suddenly pulled out of the abyss by a pair of hands, even if the owner of these hands is the devil who manipulates everything, in the eyes of the "rescued" , It is also as brilliant as a god, and it is instinctively close to and dependent on it.

"You should also feel the effect of this arrangement, right?" Ai Liangjing looked at Ran Wenyu's stunned face, and couldn't help but bend his beautiful eyes, "It's obviously only the first time we met, and it didn't even take five minutes, but you already Let go of the unfamiliarity of strangers to me, and instead be able to sit here and chat with me casually."

Ran Wenyu was speechless and could only drink water silently.

After drinking a glass of water, Ran Wenyu recovered from the doctor's scheming, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Tell me everything, and you won't worry about the next time, this arrangement won't work for me? "

"This arrangement is most effective only for those who experience it for the first time, because human beings are always the most afraid of the unknown, and when you know what you are about to face and are mentally prepared, your fear and anxiety will be greatly reduced. So , even if I tell you now, I have nothing to lose." Ai Liangjing shrugged his shoulders, "What's more, the most important thing between a psychologist and a patient is frankness. Regarding your questions, I will definitely ask you. Answer, just to create such an atmosphere - I have no secrets from you, and I hope you have the same from me."

Ran Wenyu blinked when he heard Ai Liangjing get to the point.He asked himself that he had nothing to hide, so he nodded sharply.

Ai Liangjing laughed in satisfaction.

The author has something to say: I have always felt that a psychiatrist is a particularly powerful and a bit scary profession... When I was studying abroad, I learned a basic psychology for the sake of credits, and then I was shocked by the content of the textbook People, I once wanted to change my major to study psychology, but considering my IQ problem, I gave up this bold idea OTZ

Therefore, in terms of psychology, I am a novice, and Dr. Ai is not a real psychiatrist, so please don’t be serious~
