Chapter 2540: Down the Xiao Xiao Road (Twenty-four)

All along the way, the three of them were explaining to Raven the pitfalls they might encounter in this line of work. Although they had never worked in a moving company, they were experienced in society, especially in Gotham.

The current reduction in Gotham is mainly due to the number of large and vicious crimes. The number of street scams and petty thefts is still the same. In addition to the law, there are also street rules in this place. People who are not familiar with the inside story are easily scammed.

Raven was a little depressed along the way. She had never encountered such a thing in Azeroth before. Everyone there would not lie and was very nice to her. Although she had heard about scammers before she came out, she didn't expect the scammers to be so powerful.

The employee didn't have any flaws when he talked to her before. Now Raven recalled it again and felt that what the other party said made sense, but this time she only lost a few dollars. What if she lost hundreds of dollars next time?

Raven sighed in his heart, and had an impulse to eliminate all the liars in the world, but he knew that it was difficult for him to put this impulse into practice, and all the emotions turned into depression in his heart.

Seeing that the little girl was in a bad mood, the three boys began to think of ways to make her happy, telling her interesting things that happened in school and the exciting experience when they played the final round of the game before.

Soon Raven's attention was diverted, and they arrived at the first work place and started a busy day.

Today is a rest day, so Schiller doesn't have to go to class, and Raven happens to be away, so Schiller can take this free time to tidy up his house.

He turned directly into a ball of fog, and all the furniture was placed where it should be, but the TV and sofa were moved to the reception area on the second floor, forming a living room there, and the first floor was transformed into a psychological treatment room.

The villa is not small. Although it is not as spacious as the manor, it is larger than any house Schiller lived in in his previous life. Therefore, the living room is not crowded when it is moved to the second floor. On the contrary, there are no trees in front of the windows of the reception area on the second floor, so the lighting will be better.

The entrance on the first floor has been changed into a small reception area for guests to sort their clothes and change shoes. Next is the sofa chair and desk commonly seen in psychological clinics.

One significant advantage of using residential houses as private clinics is that most of the decorations of neighbors are for living, so there is a natural sense of warmth.

The house itself is decorated in Irish style, with green walls, red fabric decorations, small stone fireplaces, and various wood carvings, which can attract the attention of patients and make them relax.

More importantly, the lighting here is much better than that of the manor. Because the manor has a long history, the glass is antique, and the light transmittance and clarity are not particularly high. Only on the days when Gotham has the most sunshine can the furniture in the room be illuminated.

Moreover, the window panes of the manor windows are relatively small, and the light is often cut into pieces when it shines in. There is no large area of ​​sunlight, and it can only be regarded as an embellishment when it falls on the furniture. The light source still depends on the light.

However, although the new house is retro in appearance, it is a modern villa after all. There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the entire wall of the living room. The glass is all high-end, clear and bright, and the light transmittance can be adjusted.

The last point is Schiller's favorite. After moving the furniture, he picked it for a long time. This seems to be another black technology of the Luther Group. It can change the degree of light filtering of the glass, and even turn the sunlight into warm light and cold light. It can be said that it makes the most of the few sunlight in Gotham.

But it is also understandable why this kind of technology has appeared, because there are really many people in Gotham who have such needs. They want to bask in the sun, but don’t want to be sunburned. They yearn for sunny days and miss the dull and dark life. All technologies that can adjust sunlight will be very popular among the rich class in Gotham.

Light is very important in psychotherapy. In addition to lighting to create an atmosphere, hypnosis also uses light that flickers and changes at different frequencies.

Although lighting is good, it would be better if very suitable natural light could be adjusted, because some patients will show tension with non-natural light sources, and some more serious ones can even visually observe the flickering of lights, inducing psychogenic anxiety or neurotic epilepsy.

The lighting arrangement of the psychological clinic in Marvel Arkham Sanatorium cost a lot of money, and even the office where Schiller used for psychotherapy in S.H.I.E.L.D. was re-routed and lit.

Schiller was obviously very satisfied with the lighting in the living room, but there were some minor shortcomings, such as side light instead of top light, and there were not enough plants outside the window, only neatly trimmed lawns.

However, because the house is not particularly large, the door behind can be seen through the front hall. As long as some trees are planted in the backyard, it will give people a sense of depth in the space.

You can't see the kitchen when you sit in the reception chair, but you can see the dining table, so Schiller arranged the table very well, with a tablecloth, a table mat, and folded napkins very neatly, and placed two identical vases of flowers.

One thing Schiller liked very much was that the stairs to the upper floor of this villa were spiral stairs, and there was a bookshelf on the side of the stairs, and you could just see the spiral bookshelf when you sat in the reception chair.

Schiller put a lot of books in it, but none of them were about psychology, but books with all kinds of weird names, such as "Teaching You How to Fold a Napkin into a Monkey".

Because it is a psychoanalytic school, Schiller hopes that patients can come for psychotherapy when they are completely unprepared, or even when their attention is not on him at all.

Because to put it bluntly, asking those questions is meaningless. Schiller does not rely on asking questions to analyze the other party's situation. He relies directly on feelings and observation, so the more distracted and unprepared the other party is, the better.

So he would fill the entire treatment space with all kinds of weird things. If possible, he even wanted the patient to sit there and watch TV and ignore him.

However, if this is the case, he might be questioned as unprofessional, so Schiller took other measures. He hoped that the patient would take the initiative to talk to him, such as asking him why he wanted to fold the napkin into a monkey, and whether he could take a napkin and try to fold it into a monkey.

To achieve this goal, Schiller also placed a lot of small sculptures on the desk next to him, some of which were souvenirs he brought back from his trip to Port Cien. If the other party had also been there, the two of them could talk about their travel experiences.

There were also a lot of photos hanging on the wall behind the desk, some of which were taken by students when he was teaching, some were taken at teacher dinners, and of course there were photos of Robins from childhood to adulthood, as well as commemorative photos of them celebrating after winning the game.

Some of them were taken by Schiller, some were taken by Victor, Bruce, Anna, etc., and some were taken by Clark specifically for them as a souvenir.

Of course, the huge bat doll is indispensable. As the most bizarre of all Schiller's collections, it was placed next to the staircase bookshelf.

Schiller never wanted the patients who came to treat him to see it at a glance and ask him where it came from, so that Schiller could spend at least half an hour telling them about his experience of dealing with a bat fanatic and being stuffed with such a doll by him.

To put it bluntly, Schiller is here to cheat the patient. He doesn't need to go through the process of psychotherapy, but because most psychologists charge by the hour, he has to find a way to find something to talk about while dragging the patient here.

But Pride is not very good at finding topics. He can't, like Greed, just charge on time and drag the other party to talk about everything from the creation of the world by Pangu to the explosion of the seventh universe.

Pride hopes that the patient will find topics by himself, because this can not only delay time, but also reduce the other party's defensiveness.

After all, patients in Gotham and New York are different. Even if Gotham people know that they are sick, they are wary of everything. If a psychologist comes up and asks questions, they will also be nervous and unwilling to open their hearts.

So it is the best choice to let them see strange things by themselves and find a topic to talk about.

Schiller even decided to hire a bat cat to work, because if there is a pet in the room, some patients can choose to talk about their pets, and cute little animals can also reduce the defensiveness of some patients.

The only problem is that the bat cat is a little fat now, and his personality is not suitable for being a comfort animal, but Xiaoke can speak human language, and Schiller is afraid that he will scare the patient half to death.

After the arrangement, Schiller came to the outside of the house and pushed open the door to simulate the process of the patient coming in.

Although there are many strange things, this is a living space after all, not an office, so it is not strange to have some sundries.

After pushing open the door, the first thing that attracts attention is the decoration style. The previous owner of this house has a good aesthetic. Although it is red and green, it is not abrupt at all, but reminds people of the Irish court.

Next is the seat by the fireplace and the window. Usually, most patients will choose the seat close to them, and some people like the corner. Schiller provides two options.

In order to avoid patients with paranoid delusions from getting nervous, the seats are far away from things that may fall, such as chandeliers, and there are no mirrors that can reflect objects. Even the cabinet doors are more or less blocked by something. All vases and pen holders are filled with things. Even the photo frames are round or oval plastic products, without sharp or fragile items.

Neither the sofa nor the single chair is particularly soft. A pillow is placed behind to support the waist. The central air-conditioning temperature is slightly higher, which makes people more sleepy. Even the water provided is water that is almost at body temperature, so that people will not be stimulated by any sensory stimulation and wake up.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the room was extremely quiet. Only a very subtle wind came in through the window cracks. There was only the natural smell of plants and books in the house, and the second hand of the clock made a regular sound.

Schiller confirmed that this arrangement was effective because he began to feel sleepy after sitting on the chair for a while.

Sleepy
