The big orange is the most important [comprehensive British and American]

"Can I call you Fioshka? You can also call me Sasha." When Alexander sat next to her, he chose a very delicate angle, neither too close to her, but also just to be able to interact with her Hearing the voice of the other party clearly, he opened his mouth softly to extend greetings:

"I heard you just came from America? Are you still used to it in St. Petersburg?"

"Of course, Sasha." Fiona nodded. She didn't have the kind of self-awareness that is necessary for Russians, such as "you get very close if you call them by nicknames", and she seemed to be righteous when she spoke. Straightforward BGM: "St. Petersburg is colder than New York and Gotham, other than that, there's really not much discomfort."

She poured out the last bit of corn kernels in the paper tube on the ground, clapped her hands, and smiled at Alexander:

"Thank you for your concern, I'm going back."

At her age, most of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls should be in the stage of spring heart sprouting, which is determined by hormones and cannot be controlled by human beings.It is quite normal for adolescent girls to have a good impression of the opposite sex, and to take a step back, even if the orientation of a few people is contrary to the mainstream, it is not a big deal to like people of the same sex. Who do you want to like, "Girls' feelings are always poetry", who dares to pat their chests and say that they have no first love at this age?

——But if at this age, when facing a handsome, well-mannered male, they have a good conversation but have not yet shown any kind of liking or admiration out of appreciation for the opposite sex, even in her Consciously, her interest in this young and handsome psychic is not even as good as the group of corn-eating pigeons in front of her, which is very problematic:

Either this girl is a late bloomer and has no awareness of this at all, or she is very likely to be asexual.

Either way, it's pretty worrying.

Daria and Tatyana were worried at the beginning that young people like Alexander, who almost grew up according to the standard of a girl's dream lover, would attract most of Fiona's attention, making her inattentive to focus on her studies, and would They plunged into unrequited love and couldn't get out. Now they don't worry about this problem at all, and start to worry about other problems:

"Daria, who do you think Fioshka would like?"

After a long absence, Dahlia experienced once again what it is like to have a teenage daughter in the family.If at this age, there are signs of puppy love, you have to start worrying about whether she will be deceived by others. If there is no such sign at all, you have to worry about her mental health. All the entanglements are really not humane. However, even if two people start to fall in love, according to Russia's legal marriage age of 14, she will have to worry about longer-term health and marriage problems. After all, she can't escape the two words, "worry":

"...I don't know, and I don't really want to know for the time being. Give me the flagon, I think I need to calm down too."

Tatyana silently stuffed the small wine jug into Darya's hand, and patted her on the shoulder: "Think about the good?"

Daria calmed down for a moment: "Think about the good... It's totally unexpected! Fioshka's nationality is now in the Middle East, and the legal age of marriage in the Middle East is still fucking decreasing year by year. According to their laws, Fioshka You can get married two years ago! No, I can't accept it! I really can't find any information to be optimistic about!"

Tatyana felt that she was thinking too far: "You'd better drink some vodka and calm down, Daria."

She pointed to Fiona who was walking back, halfway there, and suddenly squatted on the side of the road and began to look at the flowers:

"She has no awareness of this at all now."

Tatyana patted Daria on the shoulder: "I still have class, so I'll be leaving first, I wish you good luck."

Daria looked at Fiona who stretched out her hand and cautiously touched the buds that had not been released with her fingertips. Even after such a long distance, her plain white fingertips and green branches and leaves, The big khaki shawls can also form a sharp and elegant contrast, making her look like a little lady who has walked out of an oil painting in the Middle Ages.

As a result, Dahlia just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Fiona get up and rush in three steps at a time, as if the brightly colored oil painting before was just her illusion:

"Daria, the guy named Alexander who fed the pigeons with me just now—"

Daria immediately became vigilant at 12 points, her mind turned quickly, and she almost used her entire life's language skills when organizing her words. How to express euphemistically, "Although this person is very good-looking, he is not a suitable person. The person in love, and this person is now in an imperfect relationship, I bet five thousand rubles this person is going to cheat" This topic immediately became the next priority, but she didn't think of Fio at all. Na's focus and hers have diverged a galaxy wide:

"—Is he a user of black magic?"

Darya: ... Tatyana is right, it's a little girl.She has no awareness of this at all, so we don't care about it.

She recalled the system Alexander belonged to, and affirmed: "Yes."

"I said." Fiona exhaled, "I always feel that he gives me a very bad feeling. I can't even breathe normally when I'm around him. He feels too oppressive. "

Daria felt that her mood was like riding a roller coaster today, going up and down for a while: "Are you sure..."

Are you sure it's the pressure from his own energy field, rather than the hormones from the opposite sex making your senses deviate?

"What are you worried about, Dahlia." Fiona saw Daria's tangled expression and knew that she must have lost her mind.She was taken aback for a moment, then pursed her lips and laughed:

"I have read the book and know something about it, please don't worry."

"Love is at best a will produced by the secretion of various hormones such as dopamine and endorphin. The will produced by the secretion of hormones will eventually surrender to my personal perception. I will never Being manipulated by this kind of thing to do something irrational."

Daria felt that it was necessary to ask Fiona's book list. This was not a common view that a flowery girl at the age of fifteen or sixteen should have about things like love.It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just that this kind of view is too mature and rational, and in many things, being too advanced may lead to premature withering or even destruction. If Fiona has always held this If she doesn't treat her feelings from the standpoint, then she has to worry about joining Bantiwa's growing army of singles in recent years: "What books have you read?"

Fiona thought for a while: "Uh, "The Complete Works of Schopenhauer"? It happens to be in the League of Assassins. It's a whole set. I've read them all."

Dahlia: ...worry more, okay? ? ! !

And at this moment, Tatyana, who had left in a hurry before, suddenly turned back, holding a black envelope in her hand, and walked so hurriedly that she was about to trot:

"Daria, Fioshka. Someone sent a request for help to the Witch Association, and it happened to be on the website dedicated to psychics. We also saw this person's request for help, that is to say, the content of this request for help Authenticity is guaranteed. Natalia said, let you take Fioshka to deal with this matter."

Fiona was startled, but before she could utter her modest words, she heard Tatiana say again: "Since forensic doctors can bring interns, the police also have interns, and civil servants also have temporary workers, why should our Witch Association Can't we take our little apprentice out to see the world?"

She handed Fiona the black envelope, which was opaque except for the Bentiwa badge stamped on the wax, which meant that the reply had been sent from Bentiwa, and Bantiva is fully responsible for this matter, and the degree of solemnity is exactly the same as the letter that Fiona would send out when she was "Themis" before:

"You should feel it first, Fioshka, right here, simply feel it. Based on the level you have shown, Natalia and I can decide how deep you can get involved in this matter."

Tatiana originally thought that with her and Daria sitting here, even if something went wrong with Fiona's induction, it didn't matter, wouldn't it be easy for the two of them to clean up the mess caused by a little girl?As a result, her idea was completely broken in the next second:

The second Fiona reached out to the envelope, her eyes started to lose focus.

Her gray eyes had always been covered with fog, hazy and gentle, but when her eyes lost focus, they were like the heavy cumulonimbus clouds that can be touched when the heavy rain is approaching, It not only gave people a sense of oppression, but also gave people an inexplicable fear. At the same time, her face gradually showed an extremely painful and distorted expression. The originally beautiful facial features were all crowded together, and the corners of her eyes were also blurred. A little tear overflowed, making the expression in her eyes look hideous and pitiful.

In her consciousness, the boundless darkness and fear almost engulfed her in an instant.

"She empathizes?!" Daria reacted the fastest, and Tatyana followed suit. This is indeed empathy!This kind of psychic method that is extremely difficult and has extremely strict requirements on the psychic itself, normally a little girl should not be able to use it, and even if she can use it, this kind of excessive attunement and empathy, Sooner or later, she will be crushed one day!

But seeing how proficient Fiona is, that is to say, she used this method of compromising her own energy field to help others not once or twice.

Thinking of the little girl who tilted the healing energy field of white witchcraft in her direction when they met for the first time, Tatiana felt as if she had knocked over a five-flavored bottle, and she had all kinds of feelings:

If she had come to the Witch Association from the very beginning... we would definitely protect her well and not let her suffer at all.

She held Fiona's hand firmly, and gave Dahlia instructions in a concise manner:

"Don't let her empathize with this girl!"

Inside the black envelope were photos of the victims.The little daughter of an ordinary family in St. Petersburg was robbed and murdered when she went out late at night. The body was only found three days later. The murderer cut her body into more than 20 pieces of different sizes and hid them in a roadside ravine.The police investigation failed, and it could only be closed as a suspicious case. Sokolov was helpless and miserable, so he had to spend a lot of money and ask psychics for help.

This request for help came to the well-known Bantiwa in the industry, that is, the head of the Witch Association.

Among other things, Tatyana and Eugene, two psychics who are proficient in necromancy in Bantiwari, and Daria who can open the gate of the underworld, even in terms of the progress of the case Can't help much, at least it can rest his daughter's soul in peace.

Daria and Tatyana have worked together for many years, and she had a telepathic reaction almost the moment she spoke. If the contents of this envelope really empathize with Fiona, then the damage to her will not be short-lived. I can make up for it.So, when Fiona's empathy has reached the moment when the bright sharp knife is aimed at the victim's chest, and the murderer with a blurred face is about to carry out the most critical murder of money, it comes from an extremely distant and seemingly near moment. The shouting in the ear broke through the air: "Fiona Petrova!"

——The enlightenment, it's a blow to the head!

When Fiona was in the Gotham Museum, she used a similar method to extract the password of the safe containing the Kashmir sapphire from Catwoman, and now, Dahlia is using the same method to call her trained The full name of blessing and protection directly pulled her consciousness out of the endless sinister memories.

Once Fiona came back to her senses, she realized that Tatyana and Daria were looking at her seriously, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. To sum it up simply, it was the feeling of "not being a thief but guilty": "What's wrong... ? Did I pass the test?"

"Of course you passed, Fioshka. But listen to my advice, don't use empathy too frequently in the future, even if the person who comes to you for help really has a great injustice, you must act cautiously, because you can Most of the people we turn to for help are really desperate people. If you can’t calm down because of empathy at this time, wouldn’t their emotions be more volatile? And if you empathize with your own body every time It's not good, it will consume your energy too much." Dalia sighed:

"When the sky falls, we tall ones will be able to withstand it. How can you, a little girl, tire yourself so hard?"

Tatyana has already seen Fiona's strength.What Fiona needs now is exactly what they think, how to use her energy accurately is the top priority.And now she has also discovered that, in addition to this, Fiona needs to get rid of some old habits and love herself more, for example, at least don't empathize easily:

"Fiona, you go with Dahlia."

Tatyana thought for a while and added: "By the way, take your cat, it is your psychic partner and can protect you when necessary."

The author has something to say: Why did Dahlia worry more after hearing the complete works of Schopenhauer?

——Because Schopenhauer, his views, are extremely pessimistic and ascetic _(:з」∠)_
