Chapter 964 “Black Rot”

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 chose to rebuild those ancient 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 skyscrapers in the United States.

There is a science fiction movie called The Fifth Element. In the future, cities close to the ground are uninhabited because they do not see sunlight all year round. People rely on flying cars to travel.

If the roots of a cactus are black and rotten, 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 was sitting in Anthony's Volvo SUV, looking at the city shrouded in darkness. Because it was raining, no one could be seen under the street lights, including homeless people. The two of them had been doing this ever since they saw Angela Warren's eyes.

An eerie silence.

Shortly after "opening her eyes", Angela's eyes returned to normal, as if what they had seen before was an illusion.

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

The "Seven Deadly Sins Killer" really likes to take pictures, which is also one of his "trophies". He is a serial killer and nothing else, although he regards himself as a missionary.

Freud said that obsessive-compulsive disorder stems from mental trauma early in life. Although Mills escaped prison, he still had to see a psychiatrist, who told him about the principles of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

When the ego's desire to satisfy its own desires conflicts with the superego's moral conscience, anxiety will arise. In order to relieve this anxiety, the ego has to adopt certain methods to offset these anxieties.

In fact, what the psychiatrist said was not entirely correct. When he was a patrolman, he also handled some police calls, usually women living alone. They were afraid of the drunkards downstairs, or they always felt that they were being followed. For safety reasons, they

I have to check the door lock again and again, and I can't accept any noise.

What they feel is fear. No matter how irrational the behavior is, it can indeed eliminate anxiety. The locked door can keep out the "bad guys". With this sense of security, they can go back to the bedroom and continue to sleep.

Scientists often do "evil experiments". There is a young rhesus monkey. As if it was not pitiful enough to be taken away from its mother, it was also provided with a substitute mother, a fake monkey wrapped in a towel.

Only when it was hungry would it go to its wire mother who had milk. Usually, it would cling to its towel mother. Then one day, scientists put a teddy bear that could play drums in its cage, and it felt

Scared, it ran to Mother Towel for comfort. It didn't take long for it to have the courage to fight against the "evil teddy bear".

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

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

If it is generated by oneself, fighting for "gods" and family members who do not exist around you is self-hypnosis, or is it giving yourself an excuse?

Just like that perverted bastard, he does not do it for preaching, but uses the "Seven Deadly Sins" to choose his victims.

This is the characteristic of an obsessive personality - step-by-step, detail-oriented. John Doe is not like other serial killers. He spent one night with the beautiful actress, but only ruined her face. The prostitute was also raped by someone else.

Killed by a man.

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

He will stand on the moral high ground, accept the will of "God", and punish 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 elsewhere. Maybe next time he will not be named "Seven Cases".

"sin" is the standard.

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

William said the same thing before Mills fired.

If that pervert is handed over to the court, he will most likely not be sentenced to death, but will be locked up in prison and studied by scientists like the rhesus monkey.

This is actually a kind of punishment, but it is not enough.

He shot for Tracy and their children. If John Doe broke into Mills' home while he was home, Mills would have fired in self-defense.

This is also the excuse used by lawyers to defend him. David Mills is a policeman, a husband and a father. He left home in order to catch criminals and fulfill his social obligations. Just like the soldiers who rushed to the battlefield in the 1940s, he was upholding justice.

.

The family members of the police officers were killed in retaliation by criminals. If the judge convicts Mills, no police officers will leave their homes to patrol the streets in the future. Citizens can only protect themselves by themselves.

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

The district attorney was also not interested in letting Mills go to jail. John Doe learned that Mills' home address was also leaked from the police station. David Mills was finally sentenced to 7 years in prison for manslaughter, but he did not spend a day in jail.

He stayed in a mental sanatorium, and he even had a pension to draw from. The police chief supported him, and later his sentence was commuted once more, and he was released after being imprisoned for three years.

"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 more like asking and answering himself than asking. "To the south of Seattle is Mount Rainier. When the weather is clear, from the University of Washington

The campus could see the snow line on the mountain. One year, the school was planning to build a gymnasium on the shores of Lake Washington, but was opposed by all the professors at the school. It turned out that the gymnasium blocked the view of Mount Rainier from the faculty cafeteria, 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 scenery around the university. Some people say that 80% of the salary of professors at the University of Washington is paid in currency, and the remaining 20% ​​is beautiful.

The environment pays for it.”

"What do you mean?" Mills asked.

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

"You're inviting me on a trip? 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 did not refuse immediately, he turned his head towards the rain curtain.

"It started to rain again." Mills said in an extremely calm tone.

That day, John Doe took them to a wasteland full of high-voltage power lines, and the weather turned out to be extremely sunny.

This weather is really weird.
