The gates of Arkham Asylum.
Director Sharp, accompanied by several doctors, was waiting there early.
He had slept soundly last night, wearing the Calming Talisman Lin Chen had given him. It was the best sleep he'd had in years, at least.
He was increasingly convinced that Lin Chen was a highly skilled individual.
"Everyone, be alert! Master Lin is going to help us improve Arkham's fortune. You'll all be rid of your migraines and such afterward."
The doctors had all undergone long-term, systematic scientific training. They scoffed at fortune-telling and feng shui adjustments done by Taoist priests, but they couldn't afford to offend Sharp. Getting on his bad side wasn't worth it.
Guard Eddie, however, was a true believer. The amount of bad luck he'd had yesterday was equivalent to a decade's worth.
He'd slipped six times!
My wallet's gone!
My keys fell in the toilet!
My girlfriend caught me cheating!
Until he found a yellow talisman in his clothes.
He'd tried to frame Aaron Cash (Batman's friend), a fellow guard, by slipping the paper into his pocket, but it didn't work.
Looks like it needs to be blessed by a Taoist master to work. Is it a one-use item?
Everyone was lost in their own thoughts when Lin Chen arrived with Harley.
Sharp quickly stepped forward, excitedly saying, "Taoist, you're finally here! I was so afraid you wouldn't come."
Lin Chen shook his hand. "Of course I'm here. I also want to contribute to Arkham."
He met with several doctors. He ignored their challenging glances and prepared to go inside.
Stephen Kellerman, being young and impetuous, couldn't help but ask, "Taoist Lin, what's the scientific basis for your fortune-telling and feng shui?"
Lin Chen nodded. "You can understand feng shui as the environment. The quality of the environment has different effects on the human body. For example, a bad environment is conducive to the growth of bacteria and viruses, which is naturally harmful to the human body."
Kellerman frowned, feeling that the young Taoist's words made some sense.
"Then, what about fortune-telling? Don't tell me, Taoist, that's also the environment?"
"Of course. A person's appearance and spirit will change with the environment. The environment acts on the human body for a long time, and we can also trace the environment through special methods, using spirit and energy."
Kellerman was about to say something more.
Lin Chen stopped him, "Doctor Kellerman, I don't know whether it's fortunate or unfortunate that you've met me."
"What do you mean, Daoist?"
"Your eyes are round, your nose is round, and your brow ridge is red with a tinge of green. You're in a bad romance period recently. You were probably planning to propose to your girlfriend, Lisa, right?"
Kellerman's expression was shocked, "Daoist, how did you know? I haven't told anyone at the hospital my girlfriend's name."
"That's not what you should be concerned about. Your girlfriend, Lisa, is two-timing you. If you go back now, you might still catch one of the boats."
Kellerman was dumbfounded. This Daoist had given him such a big gift right away; he couldn't handle it.
Director Sharp glanced at Kellerman with pity, "Stephen, I'll give you a day off today. Um, go home and have a look."
Lin Chen patted Kellerman on the shoulder. "Actually, this is a good thing. If you were married and raising someone else's kid, that would be a disaster. Leaving early is a good thing."
Doctor Sharp looked worried. "Eddie, go with Kellerman."
"Yes, Doctor."
With tears in his eyes, Kellerman thanked Lin Chen and numbly walked out.
Only then did the others react, taking a sharp intake of breath. Offending a Taoist Master meant a green hat could be delivered at any moment, and their hearts couldn't handle that.
Guard Eddie was scared. "This Taoist is too terrifying, I need to stay away."
Lin Chen went to the doctor's office to arrange things.
"Doctor, this place has a Solitary Yin Formation. The first thing you need to do is transplant all those big trees from the back mountain. That way, the air will circulate, sunlight will shine in, and the Yin Spirit Energy can dissipate."
Sharp nodded repeatedly. "The Taoist Master is right; I'll have people arrange it immediately."
"The remaining task is to absorb the Yin Spirit Energy that has accumulated for many years. Then, as Yang Energy enters, everyone's bodies will gradually improve."
"So, Taoist Master, how do we get rid of the Yin Energy?"
"I will handle that. You don't need to worry. Let Harley be my assistant."
"No problem. Is there anything else you need, Taoist Master?"
"I need to observe everywhere in Arkham Asylum and set up the Formation/Array."
"Understood."
Harley led Lin Chen around to inspect the area. Lin Chen would occasionally take out a stone and press it onto a piece of paper with a talisman.
"Daoist, you're amazing! You know feng shui and formations, you're a real treasure! Hehe."
"It's nothing. You'll get something good later."
Harley hugged Lin Chen's arm, resting her head on his shoulder, "Daoist, you're so good to me, how can I repay you?"
"Harley, this is broad daylight, be mindful of the influence."
The ward prison,
The Joker was banging on the iron bars, "I'm sick, I need Dr. Harley's treatment."
Poison Ivy from the next cell giggled, "Joker, you're trying to trick an innocent girl again, aren't you?"
"Joker, answer my riddle, and I'll help you! Tee hee," the Riddler cackled.
The strong, black female nurse cursed viciously, "You scum, don't even think about it. Dr. Harley is out for a stroll with her Prince Charming."
"What, he's here again?" The Joker was speechless. "Arkham Asylum is a restricted area, how can a fortune teller get in?"
