Chapter 145: Tiger Tally

Sun Yisheng was about forty years old, with fine crow's feet around his eyes, possessing the calm temperament of a doctor and a scholar, and a very friendly smile.

Seeing Zhang Yuanqing's astonished expression, he smiled slightly:

"Likes and dislikes are the most telling indicators of a person's mental state. One's personality is often reflected in their hobbies, and sexual orientation and kinks are even more valuable references than general preferences."

"You don't need to feel embarrassed. Doctors have the hearts of parents. I've asked patients even more shameful questions and heard them give even more embarrassing answers. In the eyes of us doctors, all beings are equal." *In your eyes, people are just meaningless flesh…* Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, recalling his aunt describing the process of dissecting cadavers when she was studying medicine.

Zhang Yuanqing almost threw up, but his aunt remained as calm as an old dog.

If it was the influence of an item or skill, Zhang Yuanqing could transfer it to Little Bean, but a Scout who could see through people's hearts essentially possessed the ability to detect lies, rather than exerting some kind of power on the target.

So, the Spirit Servant was powerless.

Zhang Yuanqing could only patiently answer his questions: "As for action movies, I watch them sometimes. I mean, we're all adults, who hasn't seen them? But it's getting harder and harder to find good ones, so I've joined a lot of gaming groups to expand my channels." Sun Yisheng crossed his hands and nodded, "That's normal. When I was younger, I was particularly enthusiastic about these things too." "Oh? Is it because you're getting older now?" Zhang Yuanqing laughed.

"No, I have a wife now. She's very beautiful and has a great figure. I love her very much." Sun Yisheng laughed too.

…Zhang Yuanqing felt like he was being mocked.

He continued to answer the subsequent questions:

"I generally don't watch black and white, I prefer Korean ones, and then the ones made by those guys who are doing well in Little Japan. Compared to black and white, Little Japan really knows what they're doing. Just looking at the movie titles can hit your sweet spot. The age of the actresses doesn't matter so much, as long as they're adults."

Sun Yisheng nodded slowly, "You like women of all ages, hmm, that's normal."

"Yeah, yeah, men don't have that many requirements, as long as they're pretty and have a good figure, the requirements are very simple." Zhang Yuanqing spoke eloquently, regaining his outgoing personality:

"Of course, I fast forward when I watch movies. If I didn't fast forward, would I even be human? When I'm watching movies, I generally don't look for girlfriends, they come to me, but I actually resist it in my heart." Sun Yisheng was surprised, "They? Hmm… With your status, it's normal to have many female companions."

"No, I mean they." Zhang Yuanqing raised his hand and answered truthfully, "Actually, I don't have a girlfriend."

Sun Yisheng's eyes lit up, shining brightly, and he quickly asked, "Why don't you date girlfriends? You don't seem like an introverted person."

Zhang Yuanqing scratched his head, "In the past, I always thought girls were annoying. They weren't worth me wasting my time and energy to deal with."

"What about now?"

"Now I've met a few that I'm willing to spend time and energy on, but then, that feeling is gone again."

"Why?"

"Like I said before, all beings are equal. I'm not only an Executive, but also a professional psychologist, rigorously trained. No answer will cause me to have strange emotions, let alone look at you with strange eyes." "I later thought, maybe sows are better than them." "…" Sun Yisheng was stunned, completely unexpected to get such an answer.

The dignified Yuanshi Tianzun, a genius of the seed level, actually had such a twisted fetish? What twisted his views, childhood sexual abuse? His first girlfriend's cheating? Some perverted habits of his father or mother?

For a moment, Sun Yisheng's eyes were filled with pity and vigilance.

Without a doubt, this was a psychological perversion, and psychological perversion was undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.

In all his years of practice, such a perverted patient was truly rare.

"Hey! Hey!" Zhang Yuanqing said angrily, "You said you wouldn't look at people with strange eyes." Sun Yisheng was a little embarrassed.

Zhang Yuanqing shrugged, "Actually, this is the price of the item. Since I stopped using that item, my orientation has gradually recovered, and these days I've been actively flirting with the women in my team, trying to find my manly impulses little by little." Sun Yisheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's move on to the next question. Tell me about your family situation. You don't need to tell me names and addresses, or even professions, just give me a brief overview."

"I live with my grandparents and an aunt. My uncle, aunt, and cousin live across the street. My dad died early, and my mom thought it would be difficult to remarry with me, and she was afraid that a stepfather would treat me badly, so she simply raised me herself. The way she raised me was to leave me with my grandparents, and she went out to work and earn money, and didn't care about me much, just gave me money. When I needed her to attend parent-teacher conferences, she always said to find my uncle, Mom was busy with work, had to make money…"

Sun Yisheng listened patiently and suddenly asked, "Do you hate her?"

"No!"

"You're lying." "...I don't really hate her, but I do resent her."

Sun Yisheng nodded, next question: "Did you ever engage in animal cruelty as a child?" "Yes, I liked to squat at the entrance of the alley, throw a piece of fatty meat that I didn't like, and then watch the ants swarm to carry it, and just when they were about to succeed, I'd piss on them all. There were also grasshoppers, frogs, dragonflies, and so on."

"What about cats and dogs?"

"Not those."

Sun Yisheng scrutinized him for a few seconds and moved on to the final part:

"After I ask this question, our conversation will be over. Yuanshi Tianzun, what do you think of the evil professions?"

Zhang Yuanqing paused for a moment, "Disgust and pity."

Sun Yisheng raised his eyebrows sharply: "Pity?"

Zhang Yuanqing nodded:

"I'm a Night Wanderer, I've seen the pasts of many evil professionals. Their mentalities are mostly distorted in childhood, and a small number become disillusioned with the world and turn to crime after seeing too much injustice in society. A philosopher once said that for every demon born among humans, there are countless demons around."

"Evil professions are the demons that are born, and the people who force them down this path are hidden demons. I believe that every sin is humanity's own karmic fire. Now that the internet is so developed, the birth of demons may not just be due to persecution by those around them, but also by demons from all over the world."

"So I pity them, but that doesn't stop me from washing away their sins when I encounter them."

Sun Yisheng fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said with emotion:

"You are a thoughtful person. I have seen many *The Way of the Extraordinary* newbies, and their views on evil professions are simple and unified - they think they are criminals, human degeneration, a source of danger, and enemies that must be eliminated."

"Of course, that's not wrong, but few people think about the reasons for the birth of evil professions and reflect on something from them."

Zhang Yuanqing smiled, "Maybe they don't not think, but they're too lazy to think, don't want to think."

The reason he thinks about these things is partly because he came into contact with evil professions like Guikeweirenfu, and partly because after the Night Wanderer asks the spirit, absorbing the memories of the spiritual body will produce a strong sense of substitution.

You know, human joys and sorrows are not the same. The suffering of others may be a joke in your eyes, and only by truly substituting yourself will you think about it.

It is the Night Wanderer profession that gives Zhang Yuanqing the conditions to think about these things.

"My questions are over!" Sun Yisheng smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your cooperation, you can leave now."

After Zhang Yuanqing went out and closed the door of the consulting room, Sun Yisheng moved the wheels under his chair and moved to the computer screen. First, he checked the mental evaluation option of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Then he made a note and evaluation:

"Mental state is normal, full of a sense of justice, suspected family reasons, accustomed to using a cheerful and enthusiastic appearance to cover up inner loneliness and depth. An idealist, not recommended to give too important positions at this stage." Idealists are more accustomed to maintaining inner justice than order.

To put it simply, between procedural justice and consequential justice, these people tend to lean towards the latter.

Consequential justice is actually easier to gain the recognition and resonance of most people, but for law enforcers, procedural justice is above all else.

Zhang Yuanqing returned to the waiting hall on the second floor. At this time, the personnel who participated in the general physical examination had left one after another.

Except for the late members of Team Two, there were only two or three scattered people still in line.

Li Dongze sat on a public seat, propped up on his cane with both hands, and smiled:

"From your expression, I can tell that Executive Sun's questions just now were not very elegant." Zhang Yuanqing shrugged and smiled bitterly:

"He actually asked if I usually watch movies, what kind of actresses I like to watch. Why didn't you tell me earlier that the psychologist would ask such tricky questions?" After saying that, he saw the members of Team Two, as well as several team members next to them, all looking over.

Zhang Yuanqing's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that these are not fixed questions?"

Team Two: "No!"

What the hell! Can I take back what I just said? Zhang Yuanqing suppressed the surge of embarrassment in his heart and suddenly realized: "It must be because I'm young and handsome, with extraordinary bearing, that he asked such questions, haha. Hahaha…"

You really live up to your name, your skin is thick enough! Everyone in Team Two thought.

Guan Ya said with great interest, "Then how did you answer?"

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at her, "I said I don't like watching movies, I like being Guan Gong." Guan Ya: "…"

Zhang Yuanqing sat down next to the old driver and waited silently.

He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to ponder.

The Tiger Amulet is a rule-based item, and of a very high level. It is impossible to fake things in front of it, otherwise Master Wuhen would not have replied like that.

The purpose of this general physical examination is to find out the official *The Way of the Extraordinary* who have been bought and controlled by Dark Night Rose and evil organizations in the Songhai branch.

So, the content of the questions later must be related to the evil professions and the Dark Night Rose.

And I am neither.

If I have to say anything bad, it is that I have brief contacts with the outliers in the evil professions, such as Xiao Yuan and Wuhen, but Xie Lingxi can testify for me that this was completely an accident.

As a holder of A-level merit, this small matter will at most be questioned and warned, and there will be no major issues, and besides, Fu Qingyang is my superior.

The matter of the Demon Lord's successor is mainly being investigated by the Taiyi Sect, and the Five Elements Alliance is not very enthusiastic about it, so it probably won't be asked.

Zhang Yuanqing silently finished his analysis and felt that there was no big problem.

About half an hour later, the members of Team Two successively completed the test of the Tiger Amulet. When Wang Tai came out, Zhang Yuanqing consciously walked towards the consulting room at the end of the corridor.

The consulting room was large, but the layout was simple. A desk was placed by the window, and behind the desk was Fu Qingyang in white formal attire, with a handsome ponytail.

There was a tripod-mounted camera with the lens facing the desk.

"Sit down, you are the last one, don't waste time." Fu Qingyang raised his hand to signal.

Zhang Yuanqing nodded and sat down.

Fu Qingyang stretched his right hand into the void and grabbed a palm-sized bronze tiger beast, roaring with its head raised, with the tiger's head, spine, and tail forming a smooth curve.

"Roar!"

Zhang Yuanqing heard a soul-cleansing roar in his ears. His pupils suddenly dilated, and he saw a slender-bodied, hanging-eyed white tiger lying on its side in the depths of his sea of consciousness, with divine power and stern tiger eyes.

Unprecedented pressure, unprecedented fear.

Zhang Yuanqing's face was pale, his limbs spasmed, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Is this the rule-based item of a high level? He felt the trembling of his soul, as if facing an abyss.

Fu Qingyang held the Tiger Amulet, and his aura became majestic and distant, like a marshal in charge of a million troops, and slowly opened his mouth:

"Yuanshi, are you a mole of the Dark Night Rose?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yuanqing "saw" the hanging-eyed white tiger in his sea of consciousness, looking at him with majesty, as if as long as he lied, it would pounce on him and tear him into pieces.

Zhang Yuanqing's lips trembled slightly: "No…"

Fu Qingyang waited for a few seconds and saw that there was nothing unusual. He nodded slightly and asked the second question:

"Have you ever had private dealings with evil professions?"

… Hearing the question, Zhang Yuanqing wanted to curse. Reason told him that he should hide it, but instinct took the lead, and under the gaze of the hanging-eyed tiger, he blurted out the truth:

"Yes."

Fu Qingyang narrowed his eyes.

"But, but I think I should explain." Zhang Yuanqing said in a trembling voice, like a traveler wading in the cold wind.

Fu Qingyang nodded lightly.

Immediately, he told Fu Qingyang intermittently about how he met Guikeweirenfu and helped him relay a message, but concealed the address of the Wuhen Hotel.

"That's the way things are. Xie Lingxi of the Xie family can testify for me. Also, I don't have too much contact with them."

The above are all true words, just cleverly saying that he had no further contact, and saying he didn't have too much contact.

Under the pressure of the Tiger Amulet, he could not lie, but playing with words was not within the scope of the item's ability. As long as Fu Qingyang didn't nitpick, he was confident that this question could be passed without too much pain, at least without too much of an aftermath.

Fu Qingyang commented in a cold tone:

"I will give this matter to Gouzhanglao. As for his attitude towards this matter, you can only resign yourself to fate." The tone was bad, but he glossed over it.

"The last question! The Taiyi Sect asked me to ask." Fu Qingyang straightened his posture and said, "Are you the successor of the Demon Lord?"

Zhang Yuanqing's face was as pale as paper.
