Chapter 2540: Xiao Xiao Down (Twenty-four)

Along the way, the three of them explained to Raven the pitfalls they might encounter in this line of work. Although they had never worked for a moving company, they had rich social experience, mainly in Gotham.

The main thing that has decreased in Gotham now is the number of large and serious crimes, but street fraud and petty theft are still pretty much the same. In addition to the law, there are also street rules here, and people who are not familiar with the inside story can easily be cheated.

Raven was a little depressed along the way. She had never encountered such a thing in Azeroth before. Everyone there never lied 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.

There was no flaw in the employee's words to her before. Now when Raven recalled it, she felt that what the other party said made sense. However, she only lost a few dollars this time. What if she lost hundreds of dollars next time?

Raven sighed in his heart. He had an urge to eliminate all the scammers in the world, but he knew that it would be difficult for him to put this urge into practice. All the emotions in his heart turned into depression.

Seeing that the little girl was in a bad mood, the three boys began to think of ways to cheer her up, telling her about the interesting things that happened in school and the exciting experience they had when they played the final game of the competition.

Soon the raven's attention was diverted, and they arrived at the first work location and began a busy day.

Today is a day off, so Schiller doesn't have to go to class, and Raven is not at home, so Schiller can use this free time to tidy up his house.

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

The villa is not small. Although it is not as spacious as the original manor, it is larger than any house Schiller has lived in in his previous life. Therefore, the living room is not crowded after being moved to the second floor. On the contrary, there are no trees planted 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 converted into a small reception area for guests to sort their clothes and change their shoes. Next to it are the sofas, single chairs and desks commonly seen in psychological clinics.

A significant advantage of using a residential building as a private clinic is that since most of the renovations done by the neighbors are for living purposes, there is a natural sense of warmth.

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

More importantly, the lighting here is much better than that of the manor. Due to the long history of the manor, the glass is all 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 panes of the manor's windows are relatively small, and the light that comes in is often cut into pieces. There is no large area of ​​sunlight, and when it falls on the furniture, it can only be regarded as an embellishment. The light source still has to rely on lamps.

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

The last point is Schiller's favorite. After moving the furniture, he spent a long time choosing. This seems to be another black technology of the Luthor Group. It can change the degree of light filtering of glass, and even convert 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 understandable why this kind of technology emerged, 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 melted by the sun. They yearn for sunny days, but miss the dull and dark life. Any technology that can adjust sunlight will be very popular among Gotham's wealthy class.

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

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

A huge amount of money was spent on the lighting arrangement of the psychological clinic in Marvel's Arkham Sanatorium. Even the office where Schiller did psychotherapy in S.H.I.E.L.D. had its wiring and lighting re-arranged.

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

However, because the house is not particularly big, the door at the back 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 of space.

You can't see the kitchen when you sit in the reception chair, but you can see the dining table, so Schiller tidied the table very well, putting up a tablecloth, placing table mats, folding the napkins very neatly, and placing two bottles of identical flowers.

One thing Schiller liked very much was that the staircase leading upstairs in this villa was a spiral staircase, and there was a bookshelf on the side of the staircase. When sitting on the reception chair, he could just see the rotating bookshelf.

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

Because it is a psychoanalytic school, Schiller prefers that patients receive psychotherapy when they are completely off guard and their attention is not even on him.

Because to put it bluntly, asking those questions is meaningless. Schiller doesn't rely on asking questions to analyze the other party's situation. He relies directly on his feelings and observations. Therefore, the more distracted and unprepared the other party is, the better.

So he would fill the entire treatment space with all kinds of strange things, and if possible, he would even want the patients to just sit there and watch TV and ignore him.

However, if he did so, he might be questioned as unprofessional, so Schiller took another approach. He hoped that the patients would take the initiative to talk to him about other things, such as asking him why he wanted to fold the napkin into a monkey, and whether they could take a napkin and try to fold it into a monkey.

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

There are many photos hanging on the wall behind the desk. Some were taken by his students when he was teaching, some were taken during teacher dinners, and of course there are photos of the 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 by Victor, Bruce, Anna and others, and some were taken by Clark specifically for them as souvenirs.

Of course, there is also the huge bat doll, which is the most bizarre of all Schiller's collections and is placed next to the staircase bookshelf.

Schiller had never wished more that the patients he treated would see it and ask him where it came from, so that he could spend at least half an hour telling them about his experience dealing with a bat fanatic who gave him such a doll.

To put it bluntly, Schiller came here to defraud the patient of the consultation fee. In fact, he did not need to go through the process of psychotherapy, but because most counselors charge by the hour, he had to find something to talk about while keeping the patient here.

But Arrogance himself is not very good at finding topics. He cannot, like Greed, just charge on time and drag the other party to talk from the creation of the world by Pangu to the explosion of the seventh universe.

Arrogant people prefer patients to find topics themselves, because this can not only delay time but also lower the other party's guard.

After all, there are differences between patients in Gotham and New York. Even if people in Gotham know that they are sick, they are still wary of everything. If a psychologist comes up and asks them all kinds of questions, they will be nervous and will be even more unwilling to open up.

So letting them see the weird stuff themselves and find something to talk about is the best option.

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

The only problem is that Batcat is a little fat now, and his personality isn't quite suitable for being a comfort animal, but Little Krypton can speak human language, and Schiller is afraid that he'll scare the patient half to death when he opens his mouth.

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

Although there are a lot of strange things, this is a living space after all, not an office, so it is not surprising to have some miscellaneous items.

After opening the door, the first thing that catches your attention is the decoration style. The previous owner of this house had a good aesthetic sense. Although it is red and green, it is not abrupt at all. Instead, it reminds people of the Irish court.

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

In order to avoid making patients with paranoid delusions nervous, the seats are far away from objects 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 the vases and pen holders have something placed inside them, and even the photo frames are round or oval plastic products, without any sharp or fragile items.

Neither the sofa nor the single chair is particularly soft. There is a pillow behind to support the waist. The central air-conditioning temperature is set a little higher, which makes people more sleepy. Even the water provided is almost body temperature, so people will not be awakened by any sensory stimulation.

The sun was shining brightly at noon and the room was extremely quiet. Only the slightest sound of wind came in through the window. The only smell in the house was the natural scent of plants and books, and the regular sound of the second hand of the clock.

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