The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 53 The New Psychiatrist
"You can't always be immersed in memories." Jack said: "My former psychiatrist turned out to be a horrible criminal. I know it's hard for you to accept, but the fact is the fact after all. You have to cheer up, I need you .”

Yeah, Jack needs himself. With his help, Jack can catch the most cunning criminals in the shortest time. He's used to using himself as a weapon.

Of course Will knew this, but he didn't reject it.

Will is a withdrawn person. Generally, a genius with special abilities like him will always have a little social barrier, so Will has almost no friends. He lives alone, keeps a few stray dogs as companions, and has no hobbies. , no ideal, the only thing he can do is go to the university to give lectures, his lectures are very good, but as long as after class, no student is willing to stay in his classroom even for a while.
Lonely.The word has followed Will for the first half of his life.

So when Jack discovered his ability to "substitute" beyond ordinary people, Will even felt a little grateful to him. After all, such a self can be needed and can contribute to this society. Will enjoys this feeling very much.

However, this also comes at a price.

That is, he often falls into the psychology of the murderer of the case and cannot extricate himself.

His "substitution" ability looks like a kind of reasoning, but it does have an essential difference.Because reasoning focuses on "observation" and "reverse inference", while Will's "sense of substitution" is a kind of... Blind thinking.

He doesn't need too much reasoning, let alone too much evidence, his idea is not "the person who did this is the murderer!" but "if I were the murderer, what would I do?"

For example, if you are a genius in "deductive reasoning" and you are given a picture and told that the girl is dead, what would you see?
"This girl is only 16 years old, but she has already started to perm her hair and put on smoky makeup. Her social circle is probably a group of young girls. The side of her lipstick is a little light-colored. She has been using this side to smoke. The clothes are very expensive, but her taste is very average. , her parents give her a lot of money, but they have no time to discipline her, and she may even live alone for a long time. This kind of girl will have several boyfriends in all likelihood. She is slender and has a beautiful back curve, so her big Most of them are latecomers, anyway, 'reasoning' is almost like this feeling. Right!"

And if Will saw this photo... what conclusion would he draw?

You don't even believe it.

He would say directly: "The murderer likes her skin, especially the one on the neck, it is very delicate, but not just because of liking, but because of jealousy!"

Don't worry about how he knows this, anyway, he knows it when he sees the beautiful white skin in the photo and the deep cut on the neck, and then he will tell the police, Go directly to the deceased’s circle of friends to find someone who wears a scarf all the year round, or who has suffered from skin diseases, or has a history of burns, probably a girl. Don’t worry about whether there is any evidence, catch it first, anyway, even if you are a minor You can also interrogate her for 6 hours, so you are guaranteed to find something!
This is where Will is different from ordinary people. This ability cannot be possessed through training.

And this ability often makes him enter the illusion, unable to extricate himself.

Jack has also noticed this, so he is very worried that one day, his handy weapon - Will, will suffer from some kind of mental illness because of the long-term lingering between fantasy and reality, so he thoughtfully made a wish for him. Will found a counselor --- Hannibal!

Well, this kind of behavior was indeed out of kindness, after all Hannibal was the most famous psychiatrist at that time.Moreover, he is also a gentle and elegant gentleman.

If you haven't met him, you will never understand the sense of security and charisma he brings to people.

He was well-bred, well-mannered, and hated rudeness.He studied multiple languages ​​and had a superb memory.Can distinguish the slightest surprise between perfumes.He also has a lot of research on wine, and his favorite wine is Chateau Yregam.He will express a bottle on a friend's birthday, and the reserve year coincides with the birthday.He prefers musical instruments and music. He collects Flemish harpsichords from the late 18th century. He is good at playing Mozart's Sonata in B-flat Major. He also likes painting.

All in all, he seems like a perfect guy. Of course, no one is perfect, so in addition to these strengths, he has some small flaws.

For example, he eats people.

The cannibalism here is not the kind of barbaric act of drinking blood. He will take off the most satisfying organ from the person he kills, such as the heart, such as liver and kidney, and then carefully seal it up. cooking.

Not only does he eat it himself, he also likes to make it into various delicious food and serve it on the table to entertain his friends.

At that time, because of Will's relationship, he also had many friends in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and even often participated in the investigation of crime scenes. Therefore, almost all the people who investigated the "Ogre Case" at that time had been to Han Nibal was a guest at home.

Thinking of this, Jack twisted his body uncomfortably.

"Recently, there seems to be more and more troublesome cases. It seems that a new 'cannibal case' just appeared a few days ago, and then there was a criminal who chopped up the corpse and fed it to pigs. I am very worried about you! Detective Jack looked at Will and said, "So, I found another counselor for you!"

Will shook his head: "I don't need any counselor."

"No, you need" Jack's attitude seemed firm.

Will was silent. He knew what Jack was worried about. He was worried that he would lose control again. Half a year ago, Hannibal seemed to be subtly affecting his thinking during his time as his psychiatrist. The side effects of his ability to "substitute" were extended to the maximum, and even once, he couldn't tell whether he was "Will" or a criminal who had been "substituted".

Losing himself that time almost caused a big mistake.

Although Hannibal has been brought to justice now, and Will has never visited him, who knows if Will will lose himself again during a "crime scene profile".

Therefore, by his side, there must be a psychiatrist who keeps an eye on this time bomb all the time.

"Don't worry! The person I'm looking for this time is a newcomer. He has just arrived in this city and is not familiar with everything here, so he just acts as an alarm clock by your side, and occasionally gives you advice. It is impossible to affect your thinking. The most important thing is that you will never find any shadow of Hannibal in him. I think that after a while, he may make you forget about Hannibal. This is The reason I picked him."

Jack said with a smile!
