Chapter 2246: Late Autumn in Golden City (10)

Chapter 2220: Late Autumn in Jincheng (Ten)

The Pier Mansion Market had just opened. Because of its unique geographical location and the large number of people on Green Street, it welcomed the first wave of customers a few days after opening.

At this time, the entire market was crowded with people, and the queues of pedestrians were squeezed in the edge of the queues, crowded and boundless.

Bruce came to the seat with two glasses of coconut juice and sat down. Selina fiddled with the wallet in her hand, took a sip of coconut juice with a straw, and said suddenly: "So she is Talia."

"What's wrong?"

"I saw her face and remembered that I seemed to have seen her. To be honest, she is still very beautiful. No wonder Xiaopa fell in love with her." Selina turned the wallet in her hand with her slender fingers, attracting Bruce's eyes to stare at her.

"Wait here for a while, I'll go meet her." Selina showed a sly smile, put the wallet in her bag, and disappeared in the crowd.

Talia was using her height advantage to scan the crowd, and soon saw a familiar figure flash by. She chased after him immediately with her eyes as sharp as a hawk and her movements as fast as lightning.

Because this place is not far from the beach, many women are wearing cool clothes. Selena's belly-baring short-sleeved dress is not out of the ordinary. Talia shuttled through the crowd and soon lost her target.

Suddenly she saw a black shadow flash from her side. She instinctively touched her waist bag. Good, her cell phone was also lost.

Talia is not very good at dealing with such an environment, because killers are premeditated murders. They can wait at the target location for several months or even a year until their target is alone.

Being alone is very important. In addition to the lack of defense, which makes it easier to attack and kill, you must be quick, accurate and ruthless if you want to kill with one blow, so you need space to display. No killer will choose to kill people in the subway during the morning rush hour. Even if you want to poison, you must be able to raise your arms first. As a member of the luncheon meat, you can't do that.

Talia wanted to take big steps to chase, but there were always people and crowds blocking her way. She wanted to throw darts, but as soon as she raised her arm, someone bumped into her, causing her to stumble and lose her balance.

But Talia was not a reckless or entangled person. She chose to leave the crowd first, ran out to the nearest door, and chased around the road outside the market.

There were eight gates in the four directions of the entire market. Talia silently calculated Selena's direction in her mind, and soon she saw the figure of the damn thief from the door in front.

"Stop! Don't run!!"

Talia rushed in directly, and Selena was standing behind a snack cart, shaking her wallet in her hand and showing her a big smile.

Talia rushed over and grabbed Selena with one hand, but Selena grabbed the railing on one side of the snack cart with a flexibility that did not match her body and swung to the other side, avoiding Talia's arm.

Talia attacked from another direction, and Selena turned to the other side. Talia threw a dagger at her, and Selena went directly over the countertop of the snack cart. As soon as Talia went around to chase her, she was hit in the face by something.

The thing fell into her arms. She looked down and saw that it was her wallet and mobile phone. In just a few seconds, Selena went through the beams of the market ceiling, like a cat, with her hands clasped together and supported on the ground between her feet, and bared her teeth at Talia.

"Don't fucking mess with my man, bitch."

With a whoosh, Selena jumped into the crowd like a fish and disappeared.

When Pamela found Talia again, she was so angry that she became a cabbage. Pamela had to pull her to sit on the nearest table and chair and handed her the iced coffee in her hand.

"When you covet someone else's boyfriend, you know that this day will come, and what you have to pay for being a third party..."

"The problem is that I didn't treat it as a third party!" This is what made Talia angry. She said, "What did I do? Did I date Bruce Wayne? But he drugged me during the date!! And that damn bitch scratched my face before!"

Pamela sighed and said, "Don't you realize that your professionalism has been weakened since you came to this city? Which killer would be angry about this?"

Talia was stunned, then she pressed her forehead with her fingers and took a deep breath. She thought what Pamela said made sense.

Since she came to this city, she has become a little emotional, and things shouldn't be like this.

From a professional perspective, in Talia's impression, she can do anything to complete the task from the beginning, and she knows very well that the purpose of doing these things is just to complete the goal.

If one of the things doesn't go well, she will give up doing it for the sake of efficiency, or change her strategy. During this period, emotional factors are not the criteria for her to judge anything. Talia is usually a person without mood.

This may sound strange, but the fact is that Talia never feels happy or unhappy about her tasks. She does it, completes it, and then the next one, and repeats it like this, which constitutes her life.

But since she came to Gotham, she has been unhappy from time to time. She thinks about many things in her spare time and even has a very obvious resistance to some things. This undoubtedly seriously affects her professionalism. Not being able to catch up with Catwoman is a clear decline in strength.

"What do you think is going on?" Talia asked with a frown.

"Maybe this is the real you. Don't look at me like that. I'm not a psychologist. If you really feel uncomfortable, go and make an appointment for psychological counseling."

"What a terrible suggestion." Talia sighed sincerely: "If a killer has to see a psychologist, it means he is finished."

"But you are not afraid of killing or feeling guilty." Pamela shrugged and said: "Emotional fluctuations become more obvious, and it may also be a special manifestation of the excitement period. It will not make you fall into depression and pain, but it will always affect you, like a shadow."

Pamela drank the last sip of coffee, sucked it hard with a straw, making a frowning noise, and then said: "You are always avoiding being manipulated by someone, even your father, but the emotions in your body may be more common. Manipulating you, but more obscurely, so that you can't feel it. "

"Now for some reason, its manipulation of you has surfaced. I guess, just guessing, that your decision to reproduce may have affected your body more seriously than you think."

"People often say that opportunities always come to those who are prepared. This is also true in human physiology. Our psychology always affects the body in various ways. When you decide to have a child, your hormones will be ready earlier than your mind."

Talia frowned deeper, not because she was dissatisfied, but precisely because she felt that what Pamela said made sense. All these abnormalities did happen after she started to implement the plan against Bruce Wayne, and even before she came to Gotham.

General research believes that women are more affected by hormone fluctuations, so most women behave more emotionally; there are also studies that show that hormones affect both psychological and physiological aspects. When it continues to change, you will feel all kinds of differences in both aspects at the same time.

"So how do you stop it?"

Pamela shook her head and said, "If you don't change your decision, it will probably continue. When you get pregnant, the progesterone will have a more obvious effect. You will always have to face it."

Talia seemed a little upset. She kept poking the ice in the cup with a straw and sipping coffee. After a while, she sighed and said, "Do you think I should see a psychiatrist?"

"I didn't expect you to ask that."

"I have no experience in dealing with this. In the first 20 years of my life, the hormones you call were like death, but when it suddenly appeared, I couldn't fully adapt to it. This is very dangerous for me."

"Because of your father."

Talia looked at Pamela in surprise, but then retracted her gaze and nodded solemnly.

"He is a man. It is usually difficult for them to understand what kind of changes will happen to a person physically and psychologically if she decides to be a mother, but I have witnessed it all."

Pamela also lowered her hands and poked the ice in the cup with a straw and said, "My mother wanted a second child, but not in a stable family environment. At that time, I was about to have a very wealthy stepfather, and the child was a means to make him my stepfather."

"When she made this decision, she began to change, but it was these changes that made the man not understand, and he did not intend to understand, so they finally parted ways."

"This behavior is not noble, but it shows that forming a stable family first and then reproducing offspring is indeed one of the few survival wisdoms of mankind, because this is when mothers are most vulnerable."

"And if you plan to skip the step of forming a family to get shelter, you must be strong enough Big, especially if you don't plan to have Bruce Wayne's child, don't plan to go back to your father to receive his help, then this must be much more difficult than you think. "

"So you suggest that I go?"

"Although you skipped a lot of steps, there are still precedents to follow. Go to the hospital for a physical examination first, and then if you feel emotionally troubled, then see a psychiatrist regularly."

Talia covered her eyes and said, "This shouldn't happen in my life, it's ridiculous."

"It's too ordinary and ordinary, and your life in the past 20 years has been too magnificent."

Talia sighed, looked into Pamela's eyes and said, "Regarding the selection of psychiatrists, you must have a very bold suggestion."

Pamela laughed and said, "In fact, according to convention, you should find an older female doctor who has had childbirth experience. She can empathize with what you are going through now."

"But considering the turbulent life in the first 20 years of your life, if I ask me if there is anyone who can combine such experiences to make the most appropriate diagnosis for you, it is probably Professor Schiller, the only world-renowned psychology expert we have."

"And he is also one of the culprits of my current situation, he and his students." Talia said almost gritting her teeth.

"You know how he will answer you. It all started with your decision to become a mother. It is not him who manipulates you, but your own emotions."

"And you plan to help him distance himself from it?"

"I just help you recognize the facts, because if you really want him to be your psychiatrist, you can't spend all your treatment time attacking him, but should focus on yourself-consider your wallet."

"Is his consultation fee expensive?"

Pamela hesitated rarely.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have suggested this so hastily." She suddenly changed the subject and said, "I'm not sure you can afford it."

As if insulted, Talia said, "I'm not a freshly graduated female college student. In the industry, my fees are very high, and I don't take all jobs."

"Then let's go to the dinner together, and after dinner, you can stay and talk to him."

"Then what? Am I going to receive treatment?"

"No, before that, muster up your courage."

"The treatment process will be terrible?"

"The bill will be terrible."
