NIKKE, when the stars bloom

He knew she would stand in front of Yuni, so he was ready to use the whip to whip himself.

"Are you sure you don't want to go away?"

The flat-headed man seemed to have already accepted the answer. He only asked a symbolic question and raised the barbed iron whip in his hand...

boom!

at this time……

The iron door connecting the backstage to the main stage was suddenly opened, and Volom's new manager was seen stepping backwards, pointing at the entrance with a panicked look on his face, and shouting in panic:

"Murder! Someone wants to kill me. It's a person wearing..."

The man said this with great trepidation, then turned his head to look into the hall, and happened to meet the eyes of the man with the flat head.

"Black, black suit...you're going to kill me too?!"

"?"

Who wants to kill him?

The flat-headed man, who still hadn't figured out what was going on, stood there in a daze.

Just as he was distracted, the man who was only a few steps away from him suddenly pulled out a mobile phone from his pocket and threw it towards his face with incredible force, as if he was stimulated by something.

Boom! ! !

The sunglasses shattered, and the corner of the phone smashed into his eye socket, smashing one of his eyeballs into mud like a cannonball.

The next second, the iron fist packed with tremendous brute force hit the crotch of the flat-headed man, and the fist as big as a sandbag was completely stuck in his trousers.

Gudong!

The injured person fell unconscious to the ground, and the male staff around him subconsciously clamped their legs together.

The violent man in the middle of the hall looked around like a madman and yelled:

"Who else wants to kill me?

come out!

Who else wants to kill me!!!"

Chapter 39: Not Acting

Faced with Phoenix's crazy appearance and violent behavior.

The backstage staff who were not mentally prepared at all were dumbfounded.

Even Mihala, who was about to be whipped, was dumbfounded.

Only Yuni, who was hiding behind Mihala, glanced at the flat-headed man on the ground, then raised her eyes to look at the commander who was still looking around.

Then, she stuck out her tongue happily and whispered to Mihaela:

"Yunni thinks the commander is a good person~"

"..."

Mihala did not answer, but looked at the commander with complicated eyes, not knowing whether he was pretending to be crazy or really going crazy.

Her body was often destroyed by Shuen for no reason. Therefore, she was old acquaintances of Pepper and Merry from the Ark Hospital, and had heard about the horrific deeds of Commander Phoenix from them.

Especially Pepper, her beautiful cherry blossom eyes would sparkle whenever she talked about the commander.

……

……

"Pepper! Slow down! The ambulance isn't downstairs yet!"

At the Ark Hospital, Merry carried various medical boxes in both hands and ran out of the first-floor service hall helplessly under the curious and puzzled gazes of the patients, nurses, and staff.

"The commander is only requesting an ambulance, not requesting medical treatment for himself, Pepper! Calm down a bit."

"Senior Merry!"

Pepper, who was waiting at the hospital entrance early, carrying a lot of bags on her back, pointed at the road excitedly.

"Hurry up! There's an ambulance here that just brought back a patient! We can ask our leader to let us take this ambulance and leave directly!"

Clang!

At the girl's excited suggestion, the door of the ambulance was quickly opened by the driver, and several medical staff pushed a stretcher from the inside of the car and steadily moved the injured to the ground.

The man lying on the stretcher had a broken leg. At a glance, Pepper could tell that the man was not in danger of death.

"You're Dr. Pepper!"

The injured patient raised his head with surprise and admiration, but was then pushed back by the nurse with dissatisfaction.

He didn't expect that he would get a doctor's photo just because he broke his leg while skateboarding...

"Senior Merry! Let's get in the car quickly, the commander is still waiting for us!"

After the girl finished speaking, she gave the injured person a professional smile as a response, and then stepped into the ambulance on her own.

"Dr. Pepper..."

Seeing this, the man with a broken leg wanted to say something unwillingly, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a pretty figure flashing past him.

"plum……"

Clang!

A clear sound followed, and the moment Merry rushed into the car, the rear door of the ambulance was manually closed by Pepper in an emergency.

The engine started, and the ambulance, which had stopped for less than seven seconds, drove away again.

Also fading away was the light in the eyes of the patient with a broken leg.

……

"Please make way! Everyone, please make way!"

Since it was past rush hour and ambulances had the highest priority under traffic laws, it took Pepper and Merry less than ten minutes to get from the Ark Hospital headquarters to the backstage of the Volum book signing event.

Click.

The two men carrying first aid supplies pushed open the door and were greeted by the flat-headed man's face, which had already turned a little blue.

Then, Pepper looked around again and saw the commander sitting on the sofa, looking a little anxious, and Mihala and Yuni beside him.

After experiencing the thrilling siege more than half a month ago, Pepper is no longer the panicked little doctor at the beginning.

Without the need for Senior Merry to remind her, she could already smell the strange scent hidden in the atmosphere.

First of all, judging from his attire, the man lying on the ground is undoubtedly a field member of the notorious Missilis.

Secondly, Mihaela was injured. Even from a distance, one could tell that the bloody wound was caused by the iron whip covered with barbs in the man's hand.

Again, seeing the commander shaking his legs and touching his hands, it looked like he was having an anxiety attack.

A man who risked his life to save her was actually upset by such a trivial matter?

can you?

Pepper, whose IQ suddenly came online, immediately figured out that there must be something fishy going on, and whispered to Merry beside her:

"Senior, can you take care of the wounded on the ground temporarily? I need to check the commander's mental state."

After saying that, seeing Senior Merry nod in agreement, the young doctor hurried over to her commander and pretended to begin examining Phoenix's pupils.

During this time, she also urged Mihala and Yuni to step back a few steps so as not to interfere with her range of activities.

"commander."

Taking the opportunity to check the pupils, Pepper gently reminded Phoenix, who was still shaking his legs.

"Don't play PTSD, listen to me, play adjustment disorder, that's easier to play."

"?"

After hearing what Pepper said, someone who was still pretending to be sick blinked his eyes, indicating that he didn't quite understand what adjustment disorder was, and why was it easy to act?

“PTSD patients will experience long-term depression, accompanied by certain amnesia, paranoia, loss of interest, and dissociative reactions. Most importantly, PTSD will not develop so quickly.

According to the standards, the commander should now also play ASD, acute stress disorder."

As Pepper was talking, perhaps she felt that her pupil examination was taking a little too long, so she gritted her teeth and began to examine the commander's ear canals, back of the head, neck and other parts so that they could be easily whispered to.

"Alas, ASD and PTSD are both very difficult to act. If you don't act realistically, doctors will easily find out. If you act realistically, you might end up with cognitive impairment, and then you'll actually become mentally ill.

Commander, listen to me. To act out an adjustment disorder, you just need to find two or three trigger points. Once triggered, you will show violent tendencies.

Then act out a character who is afraid of being separated from acquaintances, or who easily loses control of his emotions after being separated from close people. Both are fine.

As long as these two points are exhibited, it can be diagnosed as an adjustment disorder, which is also a type of mental illness.

understand? "

After listening to Pepper's advice, the humble and studious Phoenix immediately asked Alnik to search and organize a large amount of information about adjustment disorders on the public Internet. When the little doctor was about to get up and leave, Phoenix grabbed the other's hand and followed suit and entered the state of adjustment disorder.

"Stay with me for a while, Pepper."

"Eh?!"

The moment when the familiar warmth penetrates into the brain along the back of the hand.

Pepper, who was completely unprepared, suddenly felt a disorder in her breathing apparatus, a fleeting but extremely strong disorder.

"I...I still need to help Senior treat the wounded!"

The girl with a ponytail was like a frightened deer. She didn't even bother to look back at the commander. After carefully pulling out her left hand, she hurriedly hid beside Senior Merry to seek shelter.

At the same time, she kept muttering in her heart:

Why can the commander get into the role of a mentally ill person so quickly?

Is it really...actually acting?

Chapter 40: Meeting Shuen

Regarding the incident of "a suspended commander named Phoenix had crippled someone again", since the person who was crippled was an employee of Missilis, the news spread among the upper class of the Ark at a speed as fast as wildfire.

Within three hours, about 70% of the "nobles" had become familiar with the incident.

Next, what they had to do was to ask each other why they used the word "又"?

Who else has been crippled by the commander named Phoenix before?

……

……

"Huh? You mean that guy crippled two field officers? The reason was that the field officers wanted to kill him?!"

On the top floor of the Missilis Building, a petite girl pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Mihala who was standing in front of her with a look of disgust, shaking the crosshairs of the pistol up and down.

She is Shuen, the youngest CEO of Missilis and the most outstanding technical expert recognized by the Ark technology circle.

"Hey, don't you belong to me, Missilis?"

The thought that Missilis, one of the three major companies in the Ark, would be secretly used as a laughing stock and topic of conversation by many competitors these days made me feel really embarrassed.

Then I think of the not-so-settled financial report curve recently compiled by the Ministry of Finance.

The pent-up anger in Shuen's heart surged up like a volcanic eruption, and he shouted helplessly and furiously:

"Get down on your knees, you useless pieces of scrap metal!"

Mihala and Yuni, who knew Shuen's temper very well, looked at each other when they saw that their boss was under too much pressure and hysterical. They could only kneel silently on the real luxury wool blanket, waiting for the upcoming punishment.

Snapped!

Sure enough, the moment Yuni knelt down, a shoe sole stepped firmly on her head.

"You! I asked you to follow that guy, and you lost him, and you insisted on waiting for the field department to come and ask before you said he was missing?"

The force on her feet gradually increased, forcing Yuni to slowly bend over and crawl on the ground.
