Rhodes Island's Psychologist

Ch 22: Your Past Is Really Rich and Colourful!

Grifon.

Orchid writes down the name and tabs her pen on the paper lightly. She frowns. She has never heard of a company or organization named Grifon. 

After joining Rhodes Island, she has also worked as a diplomat and dealt with large corporations, so if it has some reputation, she should have heard about it.

But she doesn't know anything about that place. Is it a small company? There are too many small companies in small cities, like stars covering the sky; and of course, she doesn't know everything.

The question is, why had Lin Yie never mentioned the name before? If she didn't drug him, he probably wouldn't have said the name.

Watching the sleepy Lin Yie, Orchid is reminded of what Nearl told her an hour ago.

...

"This is that newbie's document. Take a look. Soon, you will be giving him a test."

"No problem. Let me see. Hmm? Psychologist? And he was a vet?!" When she read about Lin Yie.

 Orchid was shocked. What was more surprising was the description of his ability, 'Natural affinity with living organisms. Even an Infected can have their conscience restored immediately. How is that possible?!"

Nearl had mixed feelings, "Normal people would agree."

"But why would Shining believe that?"

"That's the problem here. As a doctor, Shining knows more than us, but she firmly believes in his ability, so that man is not as simple as we think."

"You mean..."

Nearl looked very serious, "He could deceive Shining, so he is definitely not a regular person. He can't just be a vet in Chernobog. Unfortunately, we don't have data on him, and he definitely won't tell us the truth if we ask, so I need your help. Do you understand?"

"Hypnosis? But you said he is not normal? Are you sure it will work?"

"We have to try."

"What if we anger him?"

"This is Rhodes Island. What can he do?" Nearl said coldly, "I don't care about his past, but first, his past cannot harm Rhodes Island."

"... Are you sure you are not thinking too much?"

"Someone who knows the Infected really well chose to be a vet in Chernobog and outperformed people's expectations in multiple scenarios." Nearl looked into Orchid's eyes.

 As a knight, her eyes are as bright as the sun, like flames that cannot be extinguished. 

"Yet, this kind of person expressed great interest in Rhodes Island and applied for a key position. If he succeeds, he will be able to contact those mentally unstable operators... Do you understand now?"

Nearl said enough. Orchid could see the seriousness of this matter.

She took a deep breath and promised, "I will try my best. Just wait for me."

"No need." Nearl said. 

"When you give him the test, I will be waiting outside. If anything happens, I will take control of the situation immediately."

...

Orchid looks outside the door. She knows Nearl is right there, so she feels somewhat relaxed.

(Since Nearl is here, let's continue.)

Orchid looks at Lin Yie again. She knows hypnosis worked.
