Chapter 216 Loki Receives Psychological Treatment From Harley Quinn

"Mr. Jeremiah, the director, made some renovation plans for Arkham Asylum. Although it took several months, it also expanded the scale of Arkham."

Alfred said to Azu and Loki behind him.

The two were asked by Peter to follow Alfred to Arkham to receive confinement punishment and receive juvenile psychological counseling.

The purpose was to punish the two men for yesterday's robbery of the Gotham gang.

"It looks good here."

Azu looked at Arkham standing in front of him and said to Alfred: "Except for the outdated Victorian-style cloister, all other aspects look like a normal mental hospital."

Loki had now returned to his teenage appearance. He looked at the antique vases placed in the corridor of Arkham and said, "This thing should fetch a lot of money in the antique market."

Alfred glanced at Loki in surprise and said to him: "The things here cannot be sold as antiques."

"Yeah?"

Loki sighed pretentiously, "One of the most common mistakes humans make is to refuse to let go of the past that has long lost its value."

Alfred: "."

He suddenly became curious about Peter.

What kind of father can have two extraordinary children, Loki and Azu?

He didn't know whether he should sympathize or envy Peter's luck now.

Alfred thought as he led the two of them into Arkham.

"Your father asked me to bring you here, but his purpose is not to punish you, but to let you see the situation here. Sometimes, when you get into trouble or have some dangerous ideas, you really need some psychological counseling."

Alfred said to the two of them: "Just like Bruce who had just lost his parents, he often acted in some extreme ways, so I sent him in."

"Okay, Mr. Alfred, we all know that you sent Bruce to a mental hospital, you don't need to repeat it."

Loki said something that almost made Alfred red.

"What is this place?"

Azu suddenly pointed to another corridor around the corner and asked Alfred.

"It is a heavily monitored area where dangerous mental patients are held."

Alfred adjusted his mood and explained to Azu.

Azu nodded and activated his clairvoyance eyes to look inside.

Inside a ward, doctors and guards are surrounding a patient.

"Sir, you must take medication."

"No, don't come here!" The thin patient raised his fists against the guard.

The guards held sticks in their hands and walked toward the patients step by step.

"I'm warning you, I'm not a violent person."

The patient raised his fist and threatened the other person.

But the guards turned a deaf ear and hit the patient's abdomen with the stick.

A staggering patient who was hit was quickly held down by the guards.

Azu frowned when he saw this scene, and then he continued to look towards other wards.

As a result, in a ward, I saw a guy dressed as a scarecrow, talking to the doctor outside the ward, "You can't do this, Arkham, this is inhumane, locking a normal person in the ward."

The doctor who was called "Arkham" by the Scarecrow said expressionlessly: "This is my madhouse. If I think I can help you, I can even lock you in a matchbox. You are a danger." "Character, I have to keep an eye on you to prevent you from playing tricks."

"scarecrow?"

Azu moved his eyes away from the intensive care area and whispered to himself.

It doesn't look like there's much special here.

He thought there was something special about Arkham, which Peter said was full of talented people.

Now it doesn't look much different from an ordinary mental sanatorium.

Alfred didn't know that Azu had already seen everything here with his clairvoyant eyes. He took the two of them to the juvenile psychological diagnosis and treatment center and said to them: "You only need to stay here for two days to get better." Get out, so don’t worry.”

He thought there would be some conflict between the two, so he comforted him in a low voice.

But what he didn't know was that Azu and Loki didn't have any resistance. Instead, they were filled with excitement and curiosity, feeling like they were home.

After handing the two people to the person in charge and giving some instructions, Alfred drove back to Wayne Manor.

The director of Arkham Asylum is a middle-aged white man with a stocky build.

"I am Martin, the person in charge here. I will arrange your treatment process in the next two days."

Although Martin has a strong build, he speaks softly.

"If you have any difficulties, you can talk to me, actually."

As he said this, he handed two sticks of chewing gum to Azu and Rocky, "I am also a psychotherapist."

"Yeah?"

Loki took the chewing gum and looked at him in surprise, "Do you usually use your fists to treat those unlucky children?"

Martin smiled awkwardly, "No, Arkham never advocates violence."

Loki shrugged his shoulders, "I don't like violence either. Dad always taught me to have a peaceful mind."

"I will arrange for a psychiatrist to talk to you. I hope you can enjoy your stay here."

After Martin said a few words, he went to arrange a psychologist for the two of them.

"He's lying."

After the other party left, Loki said to Azu: "I can feel his subtle movements."

"I know."

Azu pointed to his ears, "I am stronger, and my ears can also hear sounds that you can't catch, so I can better hear that he is lying."

"Very well, we all came to the same conclusion: this guy's psychotherapist should not live up to his name."

Loki spit out the gum from his mouth.

Half an hour later.

Azu and Rocky were scheduled to talk to different psychiatrists.

In the corridor at this time, Harleen Quinzel, the intern who had just joined Arkham Asylum, was holding her aching forehead.

Harleen Quinzel, the future famous Harley Quinn, has not yet changed her name to "Harley Quinn", nor has she gone completely crazy. She is still just an intern at Arkham Asylum.

Although she has professional certificates as a psychologist and psychiatrist, she had to start as an intern.

“Today is really unlucky”

She murmured under her breath.

On the way to work, I encountered a traffic jam and was late. After entering Arkham, I was harassed by that nasty Martin.

After taking a deep breath to adjust her mood, she looked through the list of patients to be treated today.

"Loki?"

When she saw the name, she was stunned for a moment.

"To be precise, it's Peter Padraic."

In a dimly lit room, Rocky said to psychiatrist Harleen Quinzel, who was sitting across from her.

At this time, Loki's mischievous spirit burned again, and the moment Harleen Quinzel opened the door and came in, he transformed himself into the image of Peter.

As a father figure, Loki imitated Peter's way of speaking, "It's nice to meet you."

He glanced at the other person's name badge and said, "Miss Quinzel."

“I remember the patient I was seeing was a teenager.”

Harleen Quinzel looked at Loki disguised as Peter in confusion, "You look like you've reached adulthood."

"No, actually, I just grew up faster."

Loki babbled to him: "There are always some special circumstances in this world, aren't there?"

"Maybe, let's get started."

Harleen Quinzel adjusted her white coat, looked at Rocky who gave her a strange feeling, and asked him: "I briefly looked at your information."

Before Harleen Quinzel could finish speaking, Rocky interrupted her, "Actually, I'm not sick."

"Everyone who has entered Arkham says this. Mental perception can sometimes affect your judgment, or sometimes our mental perception of ourselves can be wrong."

Harleen Quinzel looked into Rocky's eyes and said slowly, "It's like, 'Sitting by the fire in your dressing gown.' Have you ever heard of that?"

"No."

Loki shook his head.

Harleen Quinzel nodded and said unhurriedly: "One day, the great mathematician Descartes came up with the feeling of 'I am sitting by the fire in my dressing gown', but in fact, he was just lying on the bed. , similar things have happened to him many times. For example, once, when he was counting the sides of a square or calculating the number of 2 plus 3, something went wrong - that's what he said. ”

"Do you know what happened? Do you know why Descartes' mind sometimes creates misperceptions?"

Harleen Quinzel paused, not waiting for Rocky to answer: "Later Descartes himself came to the conclusion that the human body is not important, what is important is the 'I think', I think that I am, our thoughts It always develops uncontrollably, but sometimes it breaks away from the body, so we have cognitive deviations between the two, and the mind cannot be consistent with the body. "

Loki blinked, "Ms. Quinzel, Descartes is wrong. It's not 'I think, therefore I am' but 'I think, therefore I am'."

Although Loki doesn't like school, his talent as a god is unparalleled.

He had read all the books on the farm when he was very young, and he also read all the books in Smallville Library.

So he was able to discuss Descartes with Harleen Quinzel.

Harleen Quinzel looked at Rocky in surprise. The answer of this mentally ill guy seemed a little different from the others.

Loki continued: "'Freedom,' or 'I,' is born in thought."

Harleen Quinzel exhaled and said to Rocky: "But these thoughts and behaviors themselves are just the by-products of behavior."

"Didn't Skinner say? 'The act itself seems superficial compared with the gorgeous comedy that plays out in the depths of the spirit.'"

As he spoke, Loki raised his head and looked at her, "Sometimes, crazy actions often take place in our minds."
