Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

Lori Blair was the suspect who killed someone with a switchblade at the Pacific Science Center. She suffered from schizophrenia. The victim who was murdered by her or them was named John Sussman.

Lin Ning also speculated at the time that John Sussman was a child molester, and the little girl molested by him was also at the scene of the crime. Now Lin Ning knows that the little girl's name is Beth Sussman.

Now Lori Blair has committed suicide.

Lin Ning was surprised, "What?"

As a mentally ill patient, Lori Blair will not be sent to an ordinary prison after committing a crime, but should be sent to a mental hospital designated by the government for stricter care than before. It can be said that there will be no lack of care throughout the day People were staring at her, and in this case, she committed suicide?

and many more.

Lin Ning thought that Maria Blunt was undergoing confinement treatment in that psychiatric hospital, which means that Lori Blair will most likely be sent back to the psychiatric hospital where she was originally, and in this psychiatric hospital There may be a "Men in Black", so that Lori Blair can commit suicide, just like she was able to escape from the mental hospital before, it is not impossible to succeed.

Thinking of this situation, Lin Ning put down his work on NEMESIS and focused all his attention on this case.

"Who is searching for Erica Foster, have you locked it?"

The White Queen: "Wait a moment."

The White Queen originally only allocated a part of the data stream to track the other party, but now hearing Lin Ning's cautious tone, she pulled back part of the data stream from other places for centralized tracking. In this case, it didn't take long. His identity became clear:

"Peter Lewis."

Lin Ning didn't have any special reaction to the name, but the next moment she saw the photo that the White Queen retrieved, the name and the memory were immediately connected together: "It turned out to be him!"

White Queen: "Emilia, do you know him?"

"Didn't I tell you before that this parallel world is based on an American TV series, and this Peter Louis, or should we call him Mr. Scratch, is the most troublesome character in this TV series?" One of the famous serial murderers." Lin Ning thought about the "Criminal Minds" she had watched intermittently, and remembered that when Mr. Scratch first appeared on the scene, he used his homemade drug to make the victims fall into hallucinations, and let them personally Killing their relatives and hacking into the FBI left Garcia at a loss for a while.Moreover, his drug is so powerful that it makes his will as strong as Hodge, and he has been hit by it, which has left hidden dangers.

From then on, Mr. Scratch started to fight against BAU.

At the beginning, he was still hiding behind the scenes, looking for innocent people with weak will and even dissociative identity disorder, and using his unique method to brainwash them.Mr. Scratch's method is so superb that people who have been brainwashed by him completely believe that they are another person. For this reason, he obeyed Mr. Scratch to attack the BAU team and even framed Reid in prison. is murder.It is said that Mr. Scratch himself later showed up and broke BAU apart.

It can be said that Frank, the "Bone Wind Chime Killer" who made Gideon suffer from the loss of his lover, and Foyet, the "Boston Butcher" who made Hodge lose his wife, are somewhat overshadowed by Mr. Scratch's ghostly means.

"I don't understand when did he become a psychiatrist?" Lin Ning thought about it, she was limited to "Criminal Minds" - in this TV series, Mr. Scratch commits a series of murders as soon as he appears on the stage. There is no detailed explanation of his previous experiences.In addition, Lin Ning has not watched all the episodes of "Criminal Minds" one by one. What she knows about the follow-up is what others told her, or the synopsis she watched.

White Queen: "According to the hospital's information, he joined the job half a year ago."

Lin Ning: "...um."

"He searched for Erica Foster's information, it must be because she met his preference criteria. But why did he suddenly think of Erica Foster?" Lin Ning propped his chin in thought, suddenly blessed to the heart Said: "He was at the Pacific Science Center, he saw me talking to Mark Foster, and thought I was Erica Foster's second personality!"

Lin Ning: "Ugh—"

White Queen: "If you let me say it, I think Mr. Scratch in your mouth made a very scientific inference. After all, the scientific level of this parallel world has not yet developed to allow souls to travel through time and space."

Lin Ning: "...Actually, there is another reasonable explanation for my situation."

White Queen: "??"

Lin Ning said with great interest: "That is when I woke up suddenly one day, and the doctor told me: 'Thank God, after two years of lethargy, you finally woke up'." No, no, there is another kind, that is, one day I suddenly When I woke up, the nurse took the medicine and told me: 'It's time for you to take the medicine, I hope your hallucinations can still be cured'."

The White Queen reacted for a while: "I don't quite understand."

Lin Ning cleared his throat and said: "This is just a stalk, I will explain it to you slowly later."

White Queen: "I think I get it, you're just making a wisecrack."

Lin Ning: "...you can understand it this way, let's talk about Mr. Scratch."

Since Mr. Scratch was outside the Pacific Science Center that day and saw her communicating with Mark Foster, then Mr. Scratch must have come to the Pacific Science Center by chance, right?If you want to come and Rory Blair's escape from the mental hospital, you can't get away from it.

Lin Ning recalled one of Lori Blair's personalities at the time, how skilled she was in piercing the victim John Sussman, and boldly speculated that this personality might not be the first time to kill someone.

"Well, let's do a reverse profiling." That is, study the suspect and his modus operandi, profile the type of victim the suspect chooses, and where.

That is, from suspect to victim.

Before doing reverse profiling, Lin Ning quickly looked through the information of the suspected suspect in the Pacific Science Center murder case, Lori Blair, which showed that she had an alcoholic father. The police had received reports from neighbors many times. His domestic violence report record, but every time her mother would defend him, the police were helpless.Even her father used to be a police detective, even if he retired due to injury, his connections in the police station would not be damaged, which led to the cover-up of domestic violence cases and even more insane things.

Also be aware that Lori Blair's father was a typical dominant man, the alpha man (the group usually high social status, powerful, and attractive to women) who would transfer abuse from their spouses body, transferred to their young children, and when he stepped back from the police, the power gap and the anesthesia of alcohol would drive him to do more extreme things.

This all resulted in repeated physical abuse of Lori Blair, which in turn led to her split personality.

Lin Ning then looked at the information on John Sussman, the victim of the Pacific Science Center. She was not surprised that this Mr. Sussman was similar to Lori Blair's father in many ways.

"Okay, let's first list the cases of disappearance and murder in Seattle in the past six months."

White Queen: "The Seattle Police Department's database is being retrieved."

After a while, rows of photos were listed on the blue projection screen in front of Lin Ning—this was only half a year, and it was defined as a single murder case. How many crimes will occur, presumably the statistics will surprise people.

But now Lin Ning is not surprised, or she is a little numb, and said without frowning: "The victim is an alpha male."

Most of the photos are gone.

Lin Ning thought for a while and said, "I have children or stepchildren."

The remaining photos were reduced again, and finally there were only five left.

Lin Ning thought for a while that the BAU did not take over the case. It can be seen that in their view, the conditions for a serial murder case have not yet been constituted. Then, after thinking about the possible methods for Lori Blair's second personality to select victims, Lin Ning and Bai The queen said: "Check to see if any of them are on the official list of pedophiles."

There are three more photos missing.

Lin Ning was thoughtful: "Is John Sussman also there?"

The White Queen gave an affirmative answer.

This kind of coincidence can't be called a coincidence, can it?

Lin Ning: "Call out the case files of the other two, dear."

And so coincidentally, when the White Queen was checking the case files, she received an email.

via Mark Foster.

Of course, this email was not sent to Lin Ning's real mailbox, but to one of her social security numbers.Lin Ning used this social security number named "Erica Foster" to send emails to Mark Foster in the past, and the information under this social security number is readily available, even if no one checks it out flaws.An email from Mark Foster, one will stay in the mailbox under that social security number, and one will naturally be sent to the White Queen.

Lin Ning said after opening it and reading: "I don't think this email was written by Mr. Foster himself."

The email stated that as a father, Mr. Foster wanted to sit down with his daughter and have a good talk, and that he was about to get married again, and hoped that his daughter could formally meet his fiancée.

Even though Lin Ning knew what monsters and ghosts were waiting on the other side, she still thought about it and replied to this email, saying that she would go back to Seattle—even without this email, she would have planned to go back.

White Queen: "A plane ticket to Seattle tomorrow afternoon has been booked for you."

Lin Ning: "Thank you."

After waiting for a while, Lin Ning said again: "Reschedule tomorrow morning."

Lin Ning sat back, stared at the email for a while, and the signature pen in her hand slowly spun in mid-air.

·

The next day, Seattle.

Lin Ning came to Seattle again by plane. She came to Seattle ahead of schedule, and this advance was naturally for Lin Ning's previous agreement with Gideon.Lin Ning never told Gideon about her past, whether it was her or the original body, and Gideon never asked, just like Lin Ning never mentioned the "human bone wind chime" in front of Gideon. Just like "Killer" Frank, after all, everyone has secrets, and even one of the rules of conduct for profilers is not to profile colleagues, even though sometimes they will do it reflexively.

By the way, Mark Foster came to meet him at the airport.

It was as if the email was indeed written by him.

Lin Ning's eyebrows twitched.

It's just that if Mark Foster didn't mention Dr. Louis, Lin Ning would have believed him a little more.

Lin Ning also pretended not to know that Dr. Lewis is Mr. Scratch, no, she didn’t know that there was such a person, and she didn’t know that Mark Foster’s cell phone was monitored: “You mean Dr. Lewis gave you advice?"

Mark Foster said: "He is a good man, he is friendly and has excellent professional knowledge."

Lin Ning said naturally: "How did you know such a good doctor?"

Mark Foster choked, and said with a little embarrassment: "He works in the mental hospital where Maria is. I visited Maria, and that's how I got to know him."

Lin Ning blinked: "Is Maria okay?"

Mark Foster was stunned: "I thought you didn't want to mention her."

Lin Ning asked him back: "Didn't you mention her first?"

Mark Foster said quickly, "I'm sorry."

Lin Ning shook his head: "It's nothing, I actually thought that once Maria's imprisonment and treatment period is over, I will continue to pay for her treatment until the day she is truly cured." Lin Ning really did. I thought about it, after all, mental illness like Munchausen Syndrome is a persistent disease, and it is not so easy to treat, especially if Maria Blunt is as seriously ill.

It's just that it sounded like resentment, which made Mark Foster not know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere became more embarrassing.

It was Lin Ning who continued the awkward chat after a while: "By the way, does Maria know that you are going to remarry?"

Mark Foster shook his head.

Lin Ning said in a romantic tone: "I think we can tell her in person."

Mark Foster was surprised: "You want to see her?"

"Why not?" Lin Ning joked, "Are you afraid that I will take the opportunity to kill her?"

Mark Foster: "Erica!"

Lin Ning changed his words in a polite manner: "It's just a joke."

Mark Foster's heart sank. His daughter was not like this in the past. Even though Maria was "taking care" of her in the past, there was never a time when he felt that she had become so strange.Thinking about it differently, after suffering such treatment, shouldn't Erica Foster, whose life was stolen, hate Maria the most?Do you still expect her to forgive her with a smile?

Do not make jokes.

And the reality is even worse, after all, Erica Foster is long gone.

·

The mental hospital where Maria Blunt is located is called St. Mary's Mental Hospital, which is a mental hospital in cooperation with the government.In addition to the mental patients with ex-criminals, it also accepts mental patients in general, like Lori Blair, although she also has a criminal record now.

When Lin Ning followed Mark Foster to visit St. Mary's Mental Hospital, he also heard the nurses talk about Lori Blair, but they were scolded by the head nurse before they could say a word.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Lori Blair was rescued after committing suicide and is now in the strictest ward.

Let's go back to Maria Blunt. After a few years of seeing each other, she has become a lot haggard.Also, she was deprived of the other attention and admiration she needed to get from caring for her daughter wholeheartedly, just like a drug addict who suddenly lost the drug, the kind of heart-scratching I feel that even though I have been relieved through "detoxification", it still penetrates deep into the bone marrow, and I will never feel better.

When Maria Blunt saw Lin Ning accompanied by her escort, she didn't recognize Lin Ning at first. After all, Lin Ning was no longer as thin as before, nor was he sickly pale, nor did he need to lean on his body anymore. Walking with crutches.Now she is full of vigor, not to mention walking like flying (she can do it), but she can still walk on the ground with high heels, and she looks absolutely perfect.

After Maria Blunt came to her senses, she looked as if she had been hit with a hammer.

Lin Ning crossed his arms and said, "I just want to tell you that I can't live any better now."

This irritated Maria Blunt even more, and now she has been hit twice with a mallet.

cough.

After Lin Ning said this, she told Mark Foster that she had nothing to say to Maria Blunt, and she wanted to go out and wait for him.

Mark Foster hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't need to say anything, allowing Lin Ning to turn around and leave.

·

As the oldest mental hospital in Seattle, St. Mary's Mental Hospital has excellent facilities, and the garden outside the ward is also well-groomed. At this time, flowers are in full bloom and the vegetation is quite luxuriant.

Lin Ning sat down on a bench, the sun poured on her blond hair, as if it had crossed a circle of light for her, making her look very bright and lively, and the overall depressive atmosphere of the mental hospital seemed to be A little out of place.

Lin Ning lowered his head to block the sunlight shining on him.

At this time, a familiar footstep sounded again, and the reason for saying this is because the owner of this footstep followed her and Mark Foster after they came to St. Mary's Mental Hospital, and even When she was visiting Maria Blunt in the reception room before, the owner of the footsteps was listening outside the door, but when she turned to go out, she quickened her pace and walked away.

Lin Ning almost applauded his adaptability.

Not surprisingly, the other party was Peter Louis, also known as Mr. Scratch.

Mr. Scratch looks like a dog in his doctor's gown.

(Mr. Scratch: "...")

And it’s no wonder that Mr. Guacha can be a psychiatrist, he is still very qualified in this area, just like Lin Ning, even if he knew that he had a problem, he still had the feeling that it would be good to talk to him for a moment.

Of course, only for a moment.

And Lin Ning originally came to see what kind of medicine was sold in Mr. Guaca's gourd, so he followed his topic and followed him to his office to confide in him.

Before he knew it, Lin Ning opened his heart to Mr. Gua Cha, talking about the past. "I was too weak back then, and she was my whole world. I believed what she said, and I did what she asked me to do. I never thought she would poison me."

When Lin Ning first told these stories, she was still very calm, so calm that it didn't seem like she was talking about her tragic past experience, but more like watching and telling other people's stories.

Of course, Mr. Scratch can judge it, or it is in line with his prediction, otherwise he wouldn't have spent a lot of energy to get her back to Seattle again, and as time went by, Mr. Scratch A little bit surprised, because he found that the other party (he wouldn't use the name Erica to call her, she didn't call this) was still very clear and unshakable under the hint of his words.

Mr Scratch: 'Oh? '

Mr. Scratch thinks it's time for some spice.

As a result, a faint odor suddenly came from the originally clean office.

Lin Ning's five senses were sharpened, and she subconsciously covered her nose: "Doctor Louis, do you smell anything?"

Mr. Scratch apologized: "The underground pipes in the hospital are broken and are being repaired. The smell is coming here. Why don't you let me spray some air freshener?" The bottle of 'air freshener' marked with air freshener, before pressing the button, showed Lin Ning a smile that he thought was gentle, and then sprayed towards Lin Ning with lightning speed.

Of course Lin Ning didn't expect him to do this. When he was careless, he was sprayed with the 'air freshener' which is not an air freshener, and he felt dizzy immediately.

She thought it was right.

When she opened her eyes again, Mr. Scratch came to her from behind the desk, and lowered his voice as if squeezed from his throat: "You can't move, because I said you can't move, you understand the rules Is it? You're going to do as I tell you."

Lin Ning was a little confused: "Doctor Louis..."

Mr. Scratch pressed his fingers to his lips, and made a "shh" and "shh" sound: "I didn't say you could talk." Mr. Scratch smiled, "You know what? You are the most determined person I have ever seen Patient, your sense of survival is admirable, isn't it? Now tell me your name."

Lin Ning didn't speak.

Mr. Scratch thought for a while and said, "You can talk now."

Lin Ning: "Ai, Emilia."

The corner of Mr. Scratch's mouth was raised: "Emilia, look around and tell me what you see."

"She came with the medicine, she—" In the vision, I returned to the former Foster's house, Maria Blunt was still wearing the well-fitting clothes and the pearl necklace, and Erica was lying on the bed, Maria Blunt brought the medicine, but she didn't think it was enough, so she added more other medicines and gave them all to Erica.Erica began to lose weight, unable to walk and paralyzed in bed.

Lin Ning: "No!"

Mr. Scratch came over and pointed to the desk not far away, where there was an extra knife at some point: "Do you know, Emilia, only you can save Erica. That knife on the table? You have to kill Maria with this knife, or she'll go on hurting Erica, remember?"

Lin Ning looked at the engraved blade: "No, she won't hurt Erica anymore."

Mr. Scratch: "She does, she always does."

Lin Ning still didn't listen to him: "I said she wouldn't."

Mr. Scratch made a "tsk" sound: "You still don't understand the rules, do you? You have to listen to me, what I tell you, you have to do, otherwise, the nightmare will continue to find you, and you will never There is no escape."

Lin Ning was a little dazed and said, "Nightmare? You mean Erica will become like that?"

Mr. Scratch: "Huh?"

Lin Ning's eyes suddenly became clear, and he looked straight at Mr. Gua Cha.The vision continued with Erica lying ill in bed, she finally couldn't stand Maria Blunt's torment, and died in bed, but she didn't just die.She suddenly let out a "hoo" and sat up from the bed. At this time, her face turned pale and blue, and she was covered with corpse spots. She didn't look like a normal person.

Strictly speaking, she has become a zombie.

Before Mr. Scratch could react, the zombie Erica had already rushed towards him.

"Run away!" Someone shouted.

Mr. Scratch was very clear that this was just an illusion, but he ran out obediently, but when he came outside the house, there were already many zombies like Zombie Erica on the street. The stench of corpses was exuding, and seeing Mr. Scrap one by one was like a hungry tiger seeing a lamb, and rushed towards him in groups.

"If you don't want to be a walking dead too, then you have to keep running." That voiceover comes up again, as Mr. Scratch himself often acts as the voiceover in someone else's hallucination generally.It can be said that his current role as a whole has been completely reversed from that of Lin Ning's - Mr. Scratch said a word rightly, Lin Ning is the patient with the most determined consciousness he has ever seen.

This sentence should be changed to Lin Ning is the most conscious person he has ever seen, and her consciousness is far beyond Mr. Scratch's imagination.

What to say?

Even without mentioning the life when Lin Ning became Situ Jing, it's just that she stayed in the parallel world of "Resident Evil" for so long, facing the end of the world every day, hordes of zombies, zombie dogs, lickers What, it must be a great test for her consciousness.And most importantly, she still has the superpowers that the G virus once brought to Lin Ning, such as mind waves and mental attacks, even if they are not as strong as before, and she usually doesn't know how to use them, otherwise If so, she won't be alone to face the little hallucination master, Mr. Scratch.

Of course, she didn't suffer from Mr. Scratch's homemade drug, she just should cooperate with Mr. Scratch's performance and didn't choose to turn a blind eye.

no……

It is necessary to let Mr. Scratch relax his vigilance first.

Mr. Scratch himself is not strong in combat, he relies on his brain and his self-made drug, Lin Ning let him think that his autonomous drug has succeeded this time, not only does not pose any threat to him, but also obeys him If you don’t—no one would be very wary of such a person, would they?

In this way, under Lin Ning's mental impact, Mr. Scratch fell into the illusion that Lin Ning created for him:

Zombie siege.

Lin Ning doesn't need to outline such a big scene, she can draw materials from her memory.

Lin Ning confirmed again and again that Mr. Guacha had indeed fallen into hallucinations. After desperately escaping from the zombies, he stood up from the single sofa that the patient was originally sitting on.She could now confirm how Mr. Scratch had bewitched, or ordered, Lori Blair, to kill men who were nearly identical to her father.It’s just that it’s hard for others to believe her experience just now. Besides, apart from John Sussman who was murdered in public at the Pacific Science Center, the other two men were only reported missing, and their bodies are still missing. hasn't been found yet, so it's harder to convict Mr. Scratch.

However, Lin Ning found Mr. Scratch's potion instructions and the recent potion improvement report he was recording. He experimented with his homemade potion on Lori Blair to achieve what he thought was the best effect.

Obviously, Lin Ning is another new target of his.

However, Mr. Scratch did not write anything related to the murder case in the report. Even for these two reports, Mr. Scratch did not write in the usual way, but converted from matrix code to binary code, and then to basic The eight-digit code, finally re-deciphered into words is the real content. On the surface, the two reports are still readable, but they have become irrelevant words and sentences.

Should it be said that Mr. Scratch is worthy of being educated by Harvard’s highest peak math 55 in high mathematics and geometry (Harvard University has a course, when students are good enough in mathematics to enter Harvard, they will take a course called Mathematics 15. Wait until If you go to the next level, you will read Mathematics 25, and the highest peak of this course is Mathematics 55. Students who graduate from this course are generally directly hired by the government, because working anywhere else is very important to the country. A very dangerous thing), or he deserves to be a mathematical genius, but his mind is not very stable. Strictly speaking, his mind is not normal, otherwise he would not test his medicine by manipulating others to kill people. In the end, he achieved his goal of killing others himself, just like many serial killers will choose a substitute similar to this person to "practice" before killing someone they hate.

But then again, these two reports cannot be used as evidence.

There is also Lori Blair, who is a mental patient herself. It is even more impossible for her to accuse Mr. Scratch, and the court will not use her testimony.

By the way, Mr. Scratch will appear near the crime scene, after all, he took Lori Blair there, and he has to observe the effect nearby, but this is only not so strong side evidence.

For a while, Lin Ning hesitated.

As for Mr. Scratch?In his hallucination, there were more and more zombies following him, so that although he could tell that it was an hallucination, the hallucination was too realistic, which made him subconsciously fear, and his whole body was trembling.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
