I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 559 Paranoia
Xi's ball of light kept flickering, and he stood there in a daze, as if he was completely frozen by the emotions emanating from the black mud.

His skinny arms trembled slightly, and Xi slowly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the black mud in Mo Ling's hand himself, but suddenly retracted his hand and took a few steps back.

"Senior, I have felt this kind of loneliness..." Xi said in a daze as the ball of light flickered.

“When did you feel it?”

Mo Ling thought that Xi could remember what happened to him in the administrator's healing space, but unexpectedly, Xi said something shocking: "When I was making the red spirit flower."

"At that time, I also felt the same loneliness. This emotion suddenly emanated from the depths of my consciousness and then swallowed up the entire healing space..."

"That's right! I did add personal emotions when making the Red Spirit Flower. I remember it now!" Xi shouted excitedly.

"Have you seen the same thing then?" Mo Ling asked, holding up the black mud in his hand.

"I don't remember, but the feeling is exactly the same, a sudden burst of loneliness, like a tide coming..."

After listening to Xi's words, Mo Ling became more certain that this black mud was indeed a weapon against doctors, and it could trigger negative emotions in doctors.

Facing different doctors, the emotions they can induce are also different. For managers, it induces a sense of emptiness, while for Xi, it induces a sense of loneliness.

These emotions already existed, but the black mud seemed to be able to amplify them, affecting the doctor's healing and causing unknown consequences.

"Xi, do you know what the consequences will be if you add personal emotions into the healing process?" Mo Ling asked seriously.

"Senior, I don't know either, but the Council of Elders strictly prohibits this, and I have never heard of such an example."

"Aren't you an example of this?" Mo Ling asked back.

"Well, that's true."

"How do you feel?"

After hearing Mo Ling's question, Xi pondered for a long time. He stammered and wanted to say something, but seemed unable to speak.

After a while, he finally expressed his true feelings.

"Once personal emotions are added to the paranoia, the healing process will become particularly paranoid, and the patient will be subconsciously ignored, the experience will be ignored, and the advice of other doctors will be ignored..."

"I remember that after I created the Red Spirit Flower, I became extremely paranoid and emotionally unstable. I often had wild thoughts and became particularly bold, using treatments that I had never used before."

"It's like... drinking Coke! I get really excited! But the result of being overexcited is that I get more easily frustrated. My mood swings become huge, and I worry about gains and losses. Then my thoughts become more and more confused."

Xi carefully recalled his previous changes and told Mo Ling his true feelings in detail.

"Paranoia?"

It seems to be true. No matter whether it is Xi or the manager, after adding personal emotions into the healing process, they become more paranoid, refuse to listen to advice, and their mood swings become more and more extreme.

But is this black ball weapon meant to cause paranoia?
Mo Ling felt that there was more to it than that. Those culprits who created the black ball weapons must have a bigger conspiracy.

"Xi, you have to be careful next time." Mo Ling reminded Xi while taking back the black mud.

Hearing Mo Ling's reminder, Xi immediately agreed.

"I will definitely be careful, Senior!"

Mo Ling looked at Xi seriously for a while, and asked with concern: "Now, does that feeling of loneliness still appear?"

"Not recently. During the time I was asleep, the loneliness kept fading. When I was trapped in the healing space, my thoughts became clearer and I slowly calmed down. Now I don't feel that emotion anymore."

After listening to Xi's feelings, Mo Ling felt a lot more relieved. He was worried that there were black balls in Xi's body or in the healing space, but now it seems that the effect of those black balls will not last long.

"Oh, how come I really became a doctor..." Mo Ling sighed in his heart.

He felt a little lost when being addressed as "senior" again and again.

He couldn't just ignore these doctors. This was a conspiracy against doctors, a disease targeting doctors, and as a "senior", he certainly couldn't just sit back and watch.

Xi always respected him and cooperated with his "inspections". Not only that, when the administrator was in the healing space, Xi also spared no effort to help him.

For this reason, Mo Ling was unwilling to see Xi inexplicably involved in this conspiracy...

"Xi." Mo Ling called softly.

"What's wrong? Senior."

"I will protect you." Mo Ling said seriously.

Xi was stunned for a moment, and the light trembled a few times:

"Hasn't the senior been protecting me all along?"

"That's true..."

Mo Ling nodded, took out the electronic screen again, and clicked a few times casually.

"Xi, help me get another sofa. The one I had before was dirty and covered in mud..."

"And this, how about you get me a few sofa covers so I can use them alternately."

"Also, I forgot last time. I need to get a nice pot for my green plant. It would be best if the color matches. What do you think of this?"

……

From time to time, the sound of bells could be heard in the woods of matrix trees.

Li Luo looked at the bracelet in his hand curiously. Once the direction of travel deviated, the kettlebell grass on the bracelet would make a "ding-dong" sound. When he walked in the correct direction, the kettlebell grass would become quiet. It was very magical.

Li Luo couldn't figure out the guiding principle of this strange plant, but he just thought the sound was very nice.

Not only that, the bracelet would blow cool breeze from time to time, just like wearing a mobile fan on the hand, and the breeze also carried a fresh scent of grass and trees, which made people feel happy as soon as they smelled it.

The manager walking in front seemed to care about nothing and was moving around in the matrix forest on his own, but fortunately his speed was not very fast.

The doctors' physical fitness was very poor, even worse than that of humans. Li Luo was a little curious as to why they didn't use the healing power to transform their bodies, but she didn't ask in detail. She thought they must have their own reasons, or some kind of taboo.

Li Luo turned her head from time to time to look at Xi beside her. She found that Xi had been in a daze since the beginning. His body was stiff. He followed the manager like a doll, and the light ball on his head kept flashing.

"What are you doing?"

Li Luo shook his head. This group of doctors was really confusing.

Before they knew it, the group had left the copy-and-paste matrix forest, and the bracelet in Li Luo's hand no longer made any sound.

Li Luo shook his arms vigorously. Apart from the cool feeling, the kettlebell grass seemed to have wilted and drooped completely.

"Every time it rings, it is overdrawing the life of the kettlebell grass. This fragile plant will soon wither after being picked..."

Xi on the side suddenly returned to normal and explained the properties of kettlebell grass to Li Luo who was shaking his arms.

"Where did you go just now?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"My senior came to see me and told me to be careful." Xi said with some concern.

"Senior?" Li Luo turned his head and glanced at the block behind him.

"Yes, he said there might be a disease targeting healers spreading in the Huasheng Islands..."

"Did you say anything else?"

"Uh, a lot. Sofas, flower pots, Coke..."
