I'm Bateman

Bruce sat on the soft sofa, looking at the counseling room.

This is not just a consulting room. The desk is placed in the center of the spacious room. There are two single sofas facing each other between the desk and the huge French window. Bruce is sitting on one of them with his legs crossed. .

Most of the other furnishings and decorations in the room are placed against the wall, making the room appear more spacious and empty.The ceiling is extremely high, and there is a vertical ladder on the side leading to the second floor built in Yanbian. You can see the top from the sofa, and rows of books are neatly placed, and it seems that they are not used for decoration. The owner of the house often goes up to browse.

"Wait."

Hannibal put another cup of warm tea on the small round table next to the sofa, and Bruce nodded politely.

This made Hannibal a little surprised. After packing everything up, he sat on the sofa opposite Bruce, squinted his eyes, and carefully looked at the person in front of him.

Patrick Bateman, a Wall Street elite with a dignified appearance, but at that banquet, Hannibal had a very bad impression of him and his companions who were inwardly competing and jealous under the glamorous appearance.

But Hannibal found himself seemingly needing to reevaluate it.

When pouring water, Hannibal has been watching Bateman from the corner of his eye, and Bateman's performance has exceeded Hannibal's expectations since he entered the door.

He behaves decently, and no matter what he thinks about the late apology, he is very sincere, and he looks around in the absence of the master, and he is also very reserved and not casual.

From the appearance to the movements, they are very well-educated-this is indeed the appearance that Bateman can show, but there is a slight deviation from the natural feeling reflected in the subtleties in his memory.

Hannibal narrowed his eyes slightly with interest, and he showed a polite smile: "Well, let's start now."

While Hannibal was watching Bruce, Bruce was watching him.

This is a very gentleman.

This was Bruce's first impression, and Bruce also realized that Hannibal was watching him.

As a psychiatrist, it was normal behavior to assess one's patients before committing to psychotherapy, but Bruce still felt uncomfortable.

That's why even though Afu has suggested many times, he still doesn't see a psychiatrist.

And it is impossible for him to show his truest side to others-even if the psychiatrist has a confidentiality agreement, Bruce knows that this is too dangerous.

So he deliberately showed the behavior that is most suitable for a company vice president, polite and reserved, and well-educated.This wasn't a problem for Bruce when acting was already a habit.

"Don't you need to fill out some questionnaires?" Seeing the person sitting on the sofa in front of him, neither holding any questionnaires nor taking notes with pen and paper, Bruce raised his eyebrows, and took the initiative of the topic in his own hands , "I mean, other psychiatrists generally ask patients to fill out some questionnaires to understand the situation."

"No, we're just talking first."

Hannibal leaned on the sofa in a relaxed manner and said, his speech was not fast and his voice was low, making it very comfortable to hear, "Don't put yourself in the role of a patient at the beginning, take it easy and talk about your Come on, have you encountered any difficulties?"

"To be honest, it's not a big deal. I've been under too much pressure at work recently. I hope I can find someone to talk to-you know, a job that requires overtime and entertainment from time to time. I am 25 years old, but I feel like I am 45 years old. gone."

Bruce's voice revealed a strong sense of exhaustion. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his hands and spoke out the draft he had typed.

The system disappeared after assigning tasks, and Bateman deliberately cut off contact with him-to be honest, Bruce felt that Bateman himself needed to come here to see a psychiatrist more than him.

So he could only fabricate a general character design through the analysis of Bateman on the way here - a person who has extremely high demands on himself even though he has a father who is the president of the company, and is overwhelmed by work pressure rich second generation.

——Bruce guessed that it was very close.

But Bateman took a small step on the road of life.

Bruce spent 5 minutes talking about his anxiety and boredom. His performance was vivid and vivid. If it was an ordinary psychiatrist, even a certain level, he would be fooled by him.

To be honest, if Hannibal hadn't been suspicious, he would have been fooled by Bruce's series of performances.

But seeing Bateman twice, the extremely contradictory and different performances made him observe the demeanor and movements of the person in front of him more carefully, which allowed him to distinguish the sense of disobedience.

His words were too fluent, and his demeanor was too perfect.

——He is acting, playing the role of the person in his mouth.

Hannibal was sure, he watched the performance of the person in front of him with great interest, and then concealed the clarity in his eyes.

"Maybe we can use this time to talk about something else—why talk about work when you're here to relax?" Hannibal suggested.

"Of course." Bruce followed suit. He took a deep breath, then leaned back on the sofa, looked around, as if looking for a topic, and said inadvertently, "Speaking of it, Doctor Lecter, why is your The clinic is so dark, I mean, white is more relaxing, isn't it?"

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows of this room could have good lighting, but its north-facing direction prevented the room from enjoying direct sunlight, and the heavy curtains were half covered. Although the light was enough for people to see things in front of them clearly, the whole seemed Somewhat dim.

"Darkness can hide people's secrets, and some people are more comfortable in a dark environment."

Hannibal whispers, as if hinting at something, and when Bruce looks at him, Hannibal adds, "Of course, if that's what you want."

He stood up, closed the curtains completely, cut off the uncomfortable natural light, and then turned on all the lights in the room.

The incandescent light illuminated the room, and Hannibal sat back on the sofa again: "Is this better?"

"--Yes, Thanks."

Bruce took a deep look at Hannibal and said.

Bateman carefully buttoned the last button of his suit and turned around in front of the full-length mirror.

This suit is obviously custom-made, but it doesn't fit perfectly. The slightly looser size allows his body to support the suit, but it doesn't show his explosive figure that doesn't fit his personality. figure.

"President Wayne really took great pains not to reveal his identity."

Bateman looked at Afu who was aside and teased.

"Of course, starting from the details has always been what the master is good at." Afu replied.

Bateman shrugged noncommittally.

He sat in the back row of the car, listening to Afu's instructions, and watched the scenery outside the window gradually change from a sparsely populated suburb to a city full of tall buildings.

It has to be said that Gotham's architectural style is indeed unique. There are many towering Gothic buildings here, but they stand side by side with the modern high-rise buildings in the city center without being obtrusive.

Bateman's understanding of the city came only from those few news items. He didn't understand why the city needed Batman, nor did he understand what Batman meant to the city.

But he knew that he had to put on the fancy costume that was written in the news and do what Batman should do.

——even if the owner of this body does not tell him any information.

Only in this way can he go back.

Only in this way can he get rid of this scar.

And he already had a preliminary idea.
