Hong Fei, a redditor in American comics

Does Joker love Harley Quinn?

No, he just loves Batman.

One of the most important aspects of the clown's unique charm is that he is a representative of pure evil and is never disturbed by anything.

The "evil" here is not good and evil in a narrow sense, but should include a collection of all non-positive emotions and thoughts.

Love is positive.At least most of the time.

If the clown has love, then his love is definitely not a "love" that a normal human being can understand. Normal people can only see a small part of it that is close to normal "love", and the rest is absolutely Most of what cannot be seen or simply cannot be understood forms the key to controversy in the minds of normal people.

Therefore, Hong Fei himself cannot directly determine whether the result is "love" or "no love".

Even if he saw the Joker and Harley Quinn in person, he didn't think he could give a definite answer. .

"Hong, do you curse when you are angry?" Harleen asked with a sweet smile. She omitted the word "sir" and used her last name alone. With her tone, the distance between doctor and patient suddenly changed. To a close friend.

"I won't." I will chop off the person who makes me angry with a smile.

"Then if you were alone, would you be tempted to throw things away?"

"No." I would just throw the other person's body to feed the dogs.

"You are such a gentle man."

"Thank you." Isn't that right?

Arthur said in a very low voice in Hong Fei's ear: "Sir, I know this is what you are thinking, but your current performance is no longer consistent with the question and answer just now."

Hong Fei opened his eyes to see Ha Lin's expression.

But Harleen stretched out her hand to cover his eyes, and said in an extremely soft tone: "Don't open it, close your eyes, and relax everything, okay?"

Even though it was just a glimpse, Hong Fei still noticed something strange about Harleen.

Although he has never done psychological counseling, he does not think that a normal psychological counselor will behave like a birdy lover when facing a patient, even imitating his eyes and tone of voice so perfectly.

If this is true, then everyone in the psychological counseling industry should be movie kings and movie queens.

Roughly speaking, he felt that Harleen's behavior was not because she was suddenly attracted to someone Hong, but because she had gradually revealed her own crazy side under the initial influence of the clown.

The reason for this is because she feels that such a situation and method are more conducive to her obtaining more research information, and it has nothing to do with anything else.

She didn't notice anything unusual about herself.

Medicine is not autonomous.

Harleen's questions gradually became more straightforward. If the issues they sat and chatted about before were separated by several alloy walls, the current issues were just covered with a thin veil.

"Is there a woman you like?"

"There is three.

"What does she look like?"

"Wisdom, virtue, courage."

"Wow, what an amazing woman."

"Yeah." These are three amazing women.

"Do you think this is the most beautiful thing?"

"Yes."

Harleen gently rubbed Hong Fei's temples, her long eyelashes flickering slightly: "Have you ever thought about destroying some beautiful things?"

"No." I will only flog them on specific occasions and times.

Harleen frowned silently and kept moving her hands.

The deeper the conversation went, the stronger the doubts in her heart became.Although the answers to all the previous questions were not direct, after in-depth and detailed analysis, they all pointed to an answer that made Harleen feel both exciting and incredible.

Empathy is lacking.

It's something she's been working on, spending several years studying a symptom called "empathy deficit."

In short, in a high-pressure environment, humans will gradually become less compassionate and eventually lose control completely, causing tragedy.

The fundamental reason for Harleen's research is that she believes that the symptom of "lack of empathy" is the main reason why there are so many villains in Gotham City.

However, in the second step of the in-depth chat, Hong Fei's behavior was different from before.

She began to wonder if Hong Fei was deliberately refusing to provide a true answer, or if the previous answer was false.

Thinking of this, Harleen looked at Hong Fei's face and suddenly changed the topic.

"Hong, what is your job?"

"police."

"Oh? Gotham Police Department?"

"No, it's New York."

"Do you want to settle in New York?"

"No, just because New York is safer than Gotham, but I will return to Gotham one day."

"why?"

"To clear away the darkness in Gotham."

Harleen pursed her lips and smiled: "Is this also the reason why you have insomnia?"

Hong Fei sighed: "Yes, after I became a police officer, I realized that the situation in Gotham is far more complicated than I imagined."

"You are very ideal. Gotham City needs police officers like you." Harleen naturally praised and encouraged her, but she was thinking quickly in her mind.

"I don't think I can necessarily do it well."

Harleen's eyes flashed: "Why do you want to be a police officer?"

"Because the identity of the police is more suitable for dealing with Gotham's problems in a targeted manner."

"Well, what about the original intention? I mean when you first thought about becoming a police officer, what was the original excitement?"

Hong Fei suddenly thought of various scenes of police shootings in the United States. After thinking about it, he did not hide it and admitted directly: "Violence, the police station is a violent institution. As a police officer, you can use violence to counter violence in a reasonable and legal way. Addressing criminal behavior is the greatest deterrent to those who have committed a crime or are about to commit a crime."

Hearing this, Harleen suddenly laughed silently.

"What you said is so good, I think so too. Sometimes when I see or even just hear the pitiful looks of the victims, I want to catch the criminals with my own hands and punish them severely."

"Yes, those people do need to be punished."

Harleen deliberately said angrily: "They should spend the rest of their lives in prison."

"More than that, I think canceling the death penalty is the biggest mistake. Some people really deserve to die."

Harleen became excited, and her hands suddenly became stronger without realizing it: "The death penalty...don't you think the death penalty should be abolished?"

"Of course, some people do deserve to die. They will only waste food and air while living."

"Well, that makes sense. By the way, you are a police officer. Are you afraid of watching horror movies?"

"No, I quite like horror movies."

"You are so awesome, I can't even look at you."

……

Even with a different face, Harleen's chattyness has not weakened. On the contrary, she is better able to find suitable topics and entry points, and indirectly guides Hong Fei to tell the answers she wants but does not ask directly.

If this is a friend, it will definitely become a good friend who can talk about everything.

It's a pity that she is a psychological counselor, and a psychological counselor who has begun to "mutate".

Her massage techniques were very good. Hong Fei even felt that if he really looked like an ordinary person, he would be drowsy by now under the guidance of the other person's techniques, environment, tone of voice and other multiple cues, and would not be able to face problems at all. Too much energy spent thinking or pretending.

Even he himself gradually put aside the packaging of certain non-sensitive issues, which made Arthur have to remind him in a low voice over and over again.

After a long time, the chat finally came to an end.

"Want to sleep for a while?"

"Yeah." Hong Fei responded lazily.

"Then you go to sleep for a while. I'll call you later."

"it is good."

Harleen slowly retracted her hand, stood up gently and walked out. The sound of the door closing was very low.

After she left, Hong Fei opened his eyes and frowned.

another room.

Harleen took out the voice recorder and plugged in the headphones, turned on the computer, and repeatedly listened to the question and answer while typing on the computer quickly. Her eyes became brighter as the recording progressed.

It looks like a little girl who just got her favorite toy.

After half an hour.

She opened the door and the lights gradually became brighter.

Hong Fei slowly woke up.

Opening her eyes, Harleen's smile was very close at hand.

"You woke up, how are you feeling?"

"Very good." Hong Fei nodded with a smile and sat up with Harleen's help.

However, the moment Hong Fei saw her smile, he suddenly felt that he had thought completely wrong.

Harleen did not unknowingly highlight the abnormal side during the consultation process in order to obtain more research information. She simply wanted to verify her correctness about the relationship between "lack of empathy" and "the number of criminals in Gotham." sex.

She wanted to prove she was right.

This obviously goes against the original intention of the research and goes beyond the scope of the research.

Paranoid.

The two came to sit outside the house. Harleen poured a glass of water for Hong Fei, then sat opposite him with a formulaic smile.

At this moment, she suddenly became normal.

The woody fragrance in the air seems to be lighter.

"Mr. Hong, there is not much problem with your condition, but coincidentally, the problems you are currently encountering overlap with the research I am conducting, so I have a proposal to discuss with you."

"please say."

Harleen looked at the empty studio, "This place will be vacated soon, and I don't plan to continue doing psychological counseling. Someone has provided me with a research fund, so I plan to stay in Arkham, and occasionally I went to Blackgate Prison just for my research. But don’t worry, although my research is related to prisoners, this is not a serious problem for you, because you have relatively stronger self-control and self-coaching abilities. , and your methods are all positive, which is very helpful for my research.”

Is it reverse help?Hong Fei said silently.

"So, I would like to invite you to join my research course. I will waive all your consulting fees, and I can even reimburse you for the cost of coming from New York. As long as you can come in at a fixed time or other things agreed in advance Time comes to cooperate with my work."

When I see a doctor, you spend money?

It seems that you are really ill.

Hong Fei shook his head secretly and asked directly: "Dr. Harleen, I want to know, what is the problem you are talking about?"

Hearing this, Harleen opened the folder in her hand and said: "Before you see the question, I want to state it again, that is, I have full confidence in my own judgment, because no matter what the consultant maintains during the process What kind of attitude, or whether he had thought about the opposite answer path beforehand, when he gave the answer, it was either a disguise that was contrary to the truth, or it was close to the truth but just another way of saying it. All series of questions and answers Finally, after the consultant, that is, my own independent statistics and analysis, combined with my judgment of your tone and demeanor just now, the result is basically no problem. In fact, before this, I have never made any mistakes in my judgment. This That’s the main reason I was able to get a research grant from Wayne Group.”

Hong Fei nodded, he was willing to believe in the other party's professionalism.

The more professional a person is, the more powerful he will be when he goes crazy.

Harleen put the file on the table and pushed it over.

Hong Fei looked down.
