Chapter 964

Europe is not full of skyscrapers like North America. Even after World War II, when a large number of ground buildings were destroyed, people still choose to rebuild those old buildings.

It was not until around the 1980s that modern buildings began to appear in cities such as London, Paris, and Brussels, but they were still much shorter than American skyscrapers.

There is a sci-fi movie called The Fifth Element. The place near the ground in the future city is uninhabited because it does not see the sun all year round. People travel by flying cars.

If the root of a cactus is black and rotted, it will definitely not survive. The only way is to cut it off and transplant it to another pot to see if it can survive.

Mills sits in an Anthony Volvo SUV, looking out at the city in darkness, because it's raining and no one can be seen under the street lights, including homeless people, which they have kept since meeting Angela Warren's eyes An eerie silence.

Not long after "opening the eyes", Angela's eyes returned to normal again, as if what the two of them had seen before was a hallucination.

It's a pity that neither of them had a camera on them, so they couldn't record what they saw.

The "Seven Deadly Sins Killer" loved taking pictures, and that was one of his "trophies." He was a serial killer and nothing else, although he considered himself a missionary.

Freud said OCD stemmed from trauma early in life, and while Mills escaped jail, he still had to see a psychiatrist, who explained to him how OCD works.

When the id meets its own desires and the superego's moral conscience conflicts, anxiety will arise. In order to alleviate this anxiety, the id has to take certain ways to counteract these anxieties.

What the psychiatrist said was actually not all right. When he was a patrolman, he also dealt with some calls, usually women who lived alone. They were afraid of the drunks downstairs, or they always felt that they were being followed. For their safety Will have to check the door lock again and again, the noise is unacceptable.

What they feel is fear, no matter how irrational the behavior is, it does relieve anxiety, the locked door keeps the "bad guy" out, and they can go back to their bedroom with a sense of security and go back to sleep.

Scientists often do "evil experiments" where a baby rhesus monkey, as if being taken from its mother wasn't pathetic enough, was offered a substitute mother, a fake monkey wrapped in a towel. Only when it is hungry, it will go to the wire mother with milk, and it usually snuggles up to the towel mother, and then one day, scientists put a teddy bear that can beat the drum in its cage, and it feels Terrified, he ran to the mother towel for comfort, and it didn't take long for him to have the courage to fight against the "evil teddy bear".

It's like people praying to the crucifix of Jesus, and then have the courage to overcome everything.

The towel monkey will not give advice to the little monkey, so is the courage given by others, or is it generated by oneself?

If it is self-generated, is it self-hypnosis to fight for "god" and family members who do not exist around you, or is it an excuse for yourself?

Just like that perverted bastard, he didn't do it for preaching, but chose victims through the "seven deadly sins".

This is the hallmark of an obsessive personality - step-by-step, attention to detail, John Doe is not like other serial killers, he spends one night with that beautiful actress only to ruin her face, that whore is also killed by other The man killed it.

John Doe preferred the "pleasure of punishment" to the gratification of physical desires.

He stands on the moral high ground, accepts the will of "God", and punishes all sinners in the world.

John Doe himself was selected, so the "criminal" he chose must also be distinctive enough, he will not stop, if he runs away, he will commit crimes in other places, maybe the next time it is not the "seven crimes" "crime" as the standard.

"You did the right thing, David, you stopped him," said the priest who exorcised Mills. "Don't let him win!"

William said the same thing before Mills shot him.

If that pervert had been brought to court, there was a good chance that he would not have been sentenced to death, but would have been locked up in prison and studied by scientists like that rhesus monkey.

This is actually a punishment, but it's not enough.

He shot for Trish and their kids, and if John Doe broke into his house while Mills was there, Mills would have shot in self-defense.

This is also the excuse used by lawyers to defend him. David Mills is a policeman, but also a husband and father. He left home to catch criminals and fulfill his social obligations. .

The family members of the police were killed by the criminals in revenge. If the judge sentenced Mills to be guilty, then no policeman would leave his house to patrol the streets in the future, and the citizens could only rely on themselves to protect themselves.

In this way, what is the significance of the existence of the judicial system and the police?

The District Attorney also had no interest in putting Mills in jail, John Doe learned that Mills' home address was also leaked from the police station, and David Mills ended up getting a 7-year sentence for manslaughter, but he didn't spend a day in jail Stay, he stayed in a psychiatric nursing home, and he even had a pension to get. The police chief supported him. Later, his sentence was commuted again, and he was released after three years of imprisonment.

"Have you ever traveled?" Anthony asked suddenly.

"What?" Mills asked in a daze.

"Have you ever been to Seattle?" Anthony asked again, but his tone was not so much asking a question as he was asking himself, "South of Seattle is Mount Rainier. The campus can see the snow line on the mountain. One year, the school planned to build a gymnasium on the shore of Lake Washington, but it was opposed by all the professors in the school. It turned out that the gymnasium just blocked the sight of Mount Rainier from the faculty dining room, and the salary of other universities in the United States at that time It is 20% lower than that of the University of Washington, and the reason why many professors accept the lower salary of the University of Washington is entirely because of the surrounding scenery of the university. Some people say that 80% of the salary of the professors of the University of Washington is paid in currency, and 20% is beautiful. paid for by the environment.”

"What do you mean?" Mills asked.

"Seattle is also very close to Baltimore. I'm thinking of going to the University of Washington to teach while continuing to study criminal psychology." Anthony turned the steering wheel and made the car turn smoothly. "Do you want to go with me?"

"Are you asking me to travel? Are you gay?"

Anthony smiled. "I told you, for me sex is a non-essential desire. You can think of it as traveling with a chef friend."

Mills didn't immediately refuse, he turned his head to the rain.

"It's starting to rain again," Mills said in a tone of undeniable calm.

On that day, John Du took them to a wasteland full of high-voltage wires, and the weather was surprisingly sunny.

The weather is really weird.
