Chapter 95 Chapter 95 [VIP]
By evening, the day's activities were over. It was supposed to be training, but in reality, it was more like playing with the children. After all, Megan's current physical condition was slowly recovering from the losses caused by previous malnutrition. Midway through, the Joker's men brought him Megan's medical examination report and mental evaluation. A few pages were removed, but this did not prevent Richard from revising his training plan.
It becomes easier and simpler.
If this arrangement is given to anyone with good physical and mental health, they will be amused. However, it is tailor-made for Megan and can slowly and effectively enhance her body functions. Megan cannot withstand high-intensity training, and if she is overly tired, it is likely to cause mental problems.
A person's body and mind are closely connected. As they huddled together to review the report, Richard explained it to Megan. After seeing the psychiatric evaluation results, he said, "You're very anxious."
Megan next to her: "Woo——?" She opened her eyes wide in confusion. She didn't quite understand the word "anxiety" and didn't understand why she was like that, just like Megan didn't know why she was sick.
Richard wasn't very good at explaining those professional terms, but when he saw how terrified she was, he seemed to understand a little bit... But he wasn't sure what the Joker had done to make her look like this with no obvious negative emotions or state. It should be suppressed by drugs, but he didn't know when such a powerful drug came out.
The medicine made her unaffected by the disease and supported her daily activities, but according to the mental evaluation report, her problem still existed and needed to be solved. This now became Richard's task, and this was also the Joker's intention.
After all, although Richard Long is a world-class martial artist, he always mentions ideas and philosophies when teaching many young heroes, guiding them to strengthen their beliefs and determine what they want.
In order to fully shape Megan's self, guidance in this area is necessary, but why did the Joker come to him? Is the Joker seriously raising a child and has no expectations of her inheriting his criminal career?
…
After they finished reading the report, Megan sat down on a high chair with her upper body resting on the bar, her head resting on her arm as she looked at Richard.
They are very familiar with each other now. She seems to be thinking about something, but she can't condense it into a shape. The current is echoing in her head, but she will quickly give up on things she can't figure out and never make things difficult for herself.
Richard also had some questions, "What did the Joker say to you before you came?" This is a question that is easily overlooked but crucial, and it can better reflect the Joker's true attitude towards her.
Meghan didn't think this was a difficult question to answer, and said slowly: "Dad said that there will be no danger if you follow the teacher."
This is clearly a "child-coaxing" statement. The child needs to be allowed to let go of her vigilance and anxiety about the unknown so that she can adapt to a new environment without experiencing stress.
Her tone was normal and she was not lying. Richard was silent for a moment. He had one last question: "So what do you want?" His former students all had their own desires and pursuits, if not for their ideals then for something they were determined to stick to. So what about Megan?
Megan was a little confused about 'want', just like Misha once asked her about her 'wish', they were very similar things, and also things that Megan could not find or grasp.
The child had two fluffy ponytails tied behind her back, and the ends of her hair were flying as she shook her head. She thought seriously for a long time, and finally looked outside through the window.
"I want to go out and play."
She said very childish words. Megan couldn't think of any big wishes. She just wanted to go out and play so that she could have a wider range of activities. The clown brought her out today and said that she could play here in the future, so she could walk on the road. So she was happy today.
Richard nodded, "Then we will have outdoor classes."
But there was no rush to train her, and Richard didn't set overly high goals for her.
As the sky gradually darkened, he was still thinking about how to send Megan back or let her stay overnight. However, the accommodation conditions here were not very good, and there was no arrangement for Megan. He didn't know where Megan lived, and as for letting her go back alone, no one could rest assured.
Before he could ask, the Joker came to get her.
To be honest, if we ignore his identity as a clown and personally pick up his child on the first day of extracurricular classes, who wouldn't say that this action is heartwarming and he is a qualified and good father.
After picking up the bouncing Megan, on the way back, she sometimes tugged at the clown's hand or the hem of his clothes, then let go. She stood by the roadside, staring at something, much more lively than when she came. The clown asked, "Do you like your new teacher so much?"
He just asked casually, but Megan directly grabbed his hand and stood there as a small weight, holding his hand without moving at all, as if she had suddenly lost her temper.
The clown raised his eyebrows in confusion, his expression exaggerated and hypocritical, while Megan looked up at him for a long time before saying unhappily, "No."
"So what do you think, kid? I can't hire another teacher like you."
He pretended to be confused, but Megan puffed up her cheeks and said, "Daddy, I love you the most." The confident child thought her father loved her the most. Although she didn't say "also", her tone was very sure of this.
She was so frank and straightforward, and treated confession as a common occurrence. The clown showed an arrogant smile on his pale face, "Okay, my Megan, then I believe it - you love me the most." He was wearing leather gloves of the same color as his tuxedo and patted Megan's head.
Will I become stupid if I get slapped on the head often?
After Megan became lively, a lot of thoughts came into her head. After shaking her head, she was still not convinced, so she let go of the clown's hand, fell a few steps behind him, and then rushed towards him. Unfortunately, her sudden attack was noticed by the clown and held down.
With his palm against her forehead, the Joker forced a meaningful smile and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to kill me, my dear Megan?"
When did she learn to be so disturbing?! And who taught her these terrible behaviors?
The Joker couldn't understand any of this, but he could see Megan was getting restless and ready to attack him. Now she was headbutting him like a calf, and next day she would punch him or stab him with a knife? What was this? Their good heritage? She went crazy for no apparent reason at the slightest disagreement.
A look of disbelief emerged on his usually smiling face. The clown squatted down and looked at her again and again. Megan didn't feel guilty at all. When she saw his gaze looking at her, she suddenly smiled under his palm.
Megan said: "Dad! Are you scared by me?"
She thought it was just a joke, like 'making faces'.
Her father was indeed frightened by her. After a long silence, he hugged her and gently kissed her forehead, but his tone was still so nonchalant. "Okay, enough of your spoiled behavior."
That little offense was not worth mentioning. The Joker forgave her and continued to walk Megan back to the two-story building, and she was still jumping and skipping.
"Dad, when are we going back to Arkham?"
Her choice of words was very interesting. The Joker couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, but the question he asked was: "Who do you miss?" What was there to miss in that insane asylum?
Megan was thinking, "I don't know?" She really didn't know who she missed, because she didn't miss them that much. When Megan was in the special children's care center, the person she thought of most was her father, and as for Waylon and Pammy, she only had occasional fragmented memories that flashed through her mind.
The person she relied on the most was still her father, but now they were all together, so why did she suddenly think of Arkham Asylum? After thinking for a long time, she said, "Dad, we were there for a long time."
For a long time, and in her short memory, Arkham was the starting point of everything for her, and there were still many of her things in the Joker's darkroom and her bedroom.
Megan still didn't understand what it meant to miss someone, but she felt like she wanted to look back when she was outside Arkham.
Perhaps something was waiting for her there, and Megan gently received its expression in her consciousness, and she had this thought in response.
The world is, the world is everything she is in and feels. She communicates with them silently or vocally, and then at a certain moment, the communication that originally required face-to-face communication transcends time and space, expressing a certain meaning across a long time and distance.
They had already arrived at the door of the small building. When the clown took out the key to open the door, Megan suddenly said, "The leaves outside the library missed me." She nodded as she spoke, and she was extremely sure of it.
…
Megan wanted to be with her father, but the clown didn't want to see a lively kid who would cause trouble for him every day. The next day, he threw a lot of pills at her and told her to get out of the door. She could go to the club by herself regardless of whether she remembered the route or not, but she had the agreed colorful ribbons braided into her braids.
Although, even if Megan has to go to the club, she still has to come back. The person who really leaves for ten days or half a month and doesn't come back is the clown. Megan wants to understand this: O^O
"Dad, you're the one who got lost." It's obvious that his mind is really sharp.
Megan walked on her own unhappyly. She couldn't remember the route. Both times she walked on the road, she was only staring at things that she was curious about, or her attention was all on the clown. But after being lost on the street for a while, Richard came to pick her up.
Today's activity is to first imitate Richard's movements, then meditate for twenty minutes, and then do some slow Tai Chi again.
She wasn't bored by these things, and even though the kite flying hadn't started yet, she wasn't in a hurry at all...
Megan has not been cheated yet, and the friends around her all keep their promises and always do what they say.
However, in between classes, she felt like she was in a nursery again, having lunch at the club, and spending the afternoon meditating before being taken to fly a kite.
The kite Richard gave to Megan was not big - children have less strength, and there may be various emergencies when flying a kite, and they cannot take them into consideration and respond reasonably.
Therefore, children's kites are small and easy to operate. Even if a strong wind suddenly blows, it is impossible to lift the child off the ground. When the wind direction and intensity change drastically, the risk of the kite string getting entangled around the neck can be reduced. Even the kite string itself is not very tough and will break if torn hard, but it may also cut the hand.
Children can just play, but adults have to consider a lot.
