A Psychiatrist's Bizarre Game Journey / Dream of the Mist

"Hey, stop with the personal attacks! You jerk!"

Hu Tao, stung by the attack, instantly exploded, "So what if I'm flat-chested! I'm proud of my flat chest! I'm saving fabric for the country! And look at Zhou Ke'er, a shorty, she's doing just fine. I'm just flat-chested, so what! Flat-chested people can get augmentation, but can short people be lengthened?!"

Hey! That's a real personal attack, you bastard! This is a blatant and undisguised personal attack!

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but mentally rant and rave, then turned to Lin Wen with a pitiful expression and cried, "Waaah! Look! She bullied me! She yelled at me! She insulted me! She went too far!"

Lin Wen was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, and whispered, "You can do this? You're even more shameless than I imagined... You've improved a lot!"

"Of course! It's not like we're just waiting to see who forced me into this mess. Anyway, I'm completely rotten now, so don't even think about escaping! Especially Hu Tao, you have to beat her to the ground and stomp on her a million times!"

With her back to the others, Zhou Ke'er gritted her teeth and said hatefully.

Bolius was completely bewildered by the situation. He was such an innocent young man that he didn't understand what Zhou Ke'er and the others were saying at all. He was totally confused about the current situation, but seeing that Zhou Ke'er seemed to be having a lot of fun, he didn't disturb her and just watched quietly from the side.

"Are you sure you want to continue studying? It's just a joke, it's not good to make a big deal out of it."

Lin Wen frowned, glared sharply in one direction, and angrily shouted, "Who gave you permission to record this? Still filming? If you don't turn it off, believe me, I'll sue you until you're bankrupt! Delete it right now! Do you hear me?!"

Lin Wen then used a genuine male voice, which terrified the male doctor who was secretly recording the video. He immediately deleted the video.

"Damn it! You have no right to say things like that, and you're even joking... I'd fucking smash your head open!"

Zhou Ke'er rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Big brother... just go back now, don't cause me any more trouble. I'm begging you, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, okay?"

"You said it! You're treating, you pay, it's settled then. I'll be going now, goodbye!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wen immediately made a quick getaway, waving his sleeves and leaving without a trace. "By the way, I found the information you asked me to look up last time. I'll give it to you tonight. That's all, see you later! I won't give it to you unless you treat me!"

Damn it, that little bastard! Zhou Ke'er covered her face helplessly.

"A dinner party tonight? Am I included?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao shamelessly leaned closer and asked.

"You fucking explain this to them first!"

Zhou Ke'er didn't expect Hu Tao to still dare to come closer, so she immediately pressed her head down and moved her in front of the other doctors and nurses. "This whole mess is your fault! Clean it up yourself! If anything else goes wrong, I'll eat you tonight! You want to freeload? Believe me, I'll dock your pay!"

"You're using your power for personal revenge! You're abusing your authority for personal gain!"

Hu Tao, with his neck stiff, shouted loudly.

"Hey, I'm just using my position for personal revenge and abusing my power for personal gain, so what can you do about it?!"

Zhou Ke'er was amused and annoyed. She raised her eyebrows and said fiercely.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'll do whatever you say, please don't deduct my salary! And please take me with you tonight!"

Hu Tao immediately backed down.

"Bring a hammer!"

"I don't have a hammer! Can I go buy one right now?"

"Bring your sister... whatever... come if you want..."

After sending Hu Tao to explain the situation to the onlookers and spending a lot of effort persuading Bolius to go back, Zhou Ke'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, slumped into her office chair, and rubbed her temples helplessly.

Wait a minute! Why didn't he just say he had an urgent matter and needed to take Bolius back?! That would have meant skipping another day of work! He missed such a great opportunity!

What a blunder! I should be comfortably lying in bed playing games right now!

Well, whatever, playing games here is the same... Zhou Ke'er helplessly comforted herself.

It's all Hu Tao's fault! She's made Zhou Ke'er furious. Although Zhou Ke'er doesn't really care about public opinion, and besides, she doesn't even have that kind of thing... it's just that, since they're in the hospital, if her family finds out and misunderstands... that would be terrible.

But speaking of which... did Lin Wen find the information so quickly? Zhou Ke'er thought it would be a bit difficult, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.

That's true. After all, Lin Wen was once a top student. It wasn't until he developed some mental issues, or rather, some ideological issues, that he started thinking about how to manipulate people's minds and ended up like this.

Alas, how tragic and lamentable! The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be!

Zhou Ke'er sighed, leaned back comfortably in her chair, clicked on her bracelet, and re-entered the game.

Of course you should make the most of your time to play games!

Reconnection successful...

After a series of system notifications, Zhou Ke'er opened her eyes again.

"Ah, it's an unfamiliar ceiling."

After uttering a monotone sigh, Zhou Ke'er sat up and looked around.

He seemed to have been lying on the bed, but there were no signs that his clothes had been touched.

It is obvious that this is not the previous inn. The furnishings inside, such as antiques and calligraphy, all look very valuable. Even the exquisitely carved wooden decorations on the bed are extremely precious. Naturally, this is not something an ordinary inn could have.

There was no dressing table in the room, but at least there was a bronze mirror.

Zhou Ke'er looked at herself through the bronze mirror a few times. Hmm, nothing unusual. She shouldn't be injured or have encountered anything else.

As for where she was... Zhou Ke'er tiptoed out of bed—whoa! She hadn't even taken off her shoes, and was just lying on the bed like that, wasn't she dirty!?

Subconsciously muttering a complaint to herself, Zhou Ke'er quickly walked to the wooden door, just about to push it open to see what was going on, when she heard a voice coming from outside.

"Reporting to the young master, in my humble opinion, that young lady does not seem to have suffered any external injuries. Her qi and meridians are not in any serious condition, her spiritual palace is stable, and her soul is intact. However, for some reason, the spiritual energy around her is constantly dissipating."

Even though she was full of spiritual energy, it was to no avail, which may be the reason why she fell into a coma for no apparent reason.

As for the cause of this situation, firstly, it is not due to some rare and potent poison, and secondly, it is not due to some insidious cultivation technique. The spiritual energy dissipated without warning, while the spiritual palace and dantian remained completely intact. Such a situation is something I have never seen before in my life; truly strange and wondrous!

An old, hoarse voice came from outside the door. The speaker seemed to be not far from the doorway. Upon hearing this, Zhou Kexin immediately stopped what she was doing, leaned against the door, and silently eavesdropped on what was happening outside.

"Is it possible that this isn't due to external factors, but rather something within herself? She once mentioned that after a certain breakthrough, she suddenly couldn't extract spiritual energy. Is there any precedent for this?"

This was Jun Lian's voice. Zhou Ke'er breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

Judging from their conversation, it seems that after Zhou Ke'er was disconnected, the module process did not stop, but continued to advance the plot automatically after Zhou Ke'er fell into a coma. Therefore, when Jun Lian saw that Zhou Ke'er had fallen into a coma without any warning, he brought her over for treatment.

So, this young master of the Demonic Sect isn't so bad after all; he's quite helpful.

However, there seems to be some bad news: Zhou Ke'er's spiritual energy is dissipating.

Although Zhou Ke'er couldn't use spiritual energy to begin with, given this cultivation background, cultivators are able to live this long because of this thing, right?

If Zhou Ke'er's spiritual energy dissipates... she'll probably just die of old age... That would be truly ridiculous, how is this supposed to be easy difficulty?!

"Unable to extract spiritual energy after breaking through? Could it be that he is possessed by inner demons or has gone into qi deviation? No... that girl doesn't have this condition."

However... such precedents do seem to exist. Let me think... I have seen it in the ancient books. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Dao changed, and the spiritual energy fluctuated. Under the sudden change, an entire generation of top cultivators could not adapt to the Heavenly Dao, could not extract spiritual energy, and their spiritual energy was exhausted, so they all perished.

However, precisely because of this, the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth greatly increased, allowing the other cultivators to barely survive. They could take this opportunity to disperse their spiritual energy, modify their cultivation techniques, and start cultivating from scratch... and that's how they managed to survive.

If I remember correctly, the one who modified the cultivation method in accordance with the will of Heaven was a powerful figure from the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect. Although he had already established a solid foundation for his Dao and could not change the cultivation method, he was able to glimpse the will of Heaven with his profound strength, and revised the new cultivation method. He also voluntarily dispersed his own spiritual energy to help his fellow disciples successfully switch cultivation methods.

That original text should still be in the scripture pavilion of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect. If this young lady's situation is truly as the young master described, it's very likely that due to her extraordinary talent, she actually sensed the original Heavenly Dao from ten thousand years ago during her breakthrough... who knows?

If that's the case, then it's possible that they are rejected by the current Heavenly Dao and thus unable to extract spiritual energy.

However, the cultivators of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect know more about this matter.

After listening to Jun Lian's explanation, the old man pondered for a while before carefully replying, "I am quite old, but I have only heard a little about this. I am truly ashamed and hope that the young master will forgive me."

"It's alright."

After Junlian responded, silence fell outside for a moment. It was unclear whether they had left or not.

Zhou Kexin wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, she stroked her chin and thought: Wow... isn't this the hidden plot? The Heavenly Dao has actually been altered. No wonder all those explanations were wrong. I thought it was because the module settings were not rigorous. It turns out it's a hidden route.

And then there's the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect. I heard Jun Lian mention it before, and now he's bringing it up again and again. It's impossible that there's no story behind it, right?

The Wucheng Grand Competition, which the Mountain Wind Sect also attends, is also hosted by the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect. Will the main storyline and the subplot unfold simultaneously?

This module is quite interesting.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing..."

Jun Lian's voice suddenly rang out from outside again. He asked, "Elder Ji, do you know why using electricity to strike a water balloon can actually fan the flames? What is the underlying principle behind this?"

"What...what does this mean? I have never heard of such a claim. What does it mean to shock a water balloon with electricity? What kind of electricity is used? What kind of water balloon is being shocked? What kind of fire is being fueled?"

The old man, puzzled, pressed for an answer.

Junlian didn't answer. A moment later, a crackling sound came from outside. It seemed that Junlian felt he couldn't explain it clearly, so he started demonstrating it with his hands.

"Why is this guy acting like a little kid who just got a new toy? How childish..."

Zhou Ke'er muttered a few complaints in her mind, too lazy to wait for Jun Lian to finish his demonstration outside, and immediately pushed open the door and went out.

Outside the gate was a quiet little courtyard. Of course, although it was a small courtyard, it was much larger than the courtyard Zhou Ke'er had in the Mountain Wind Sect. It was filled with rare and precious flowers and herbs, and even had a separate training ground with wooden dummy training dummies and the like.

As Zhou Ke'er left, Jun Lian just managed to retract the flames that had shot out. The old man next to him stroked his long beard with a hint of surprise, frowning as if he were thinking.

This old man, true to his reputation as a member of the Demonic Sect, possessed a striking appearance befitting one. With a wolfish gaze and hawkish eyes, though aged, it was clear at a glance that he was no good. He was thin and withered, his body concealed within a long, black robe, and his sunken eyes were shrouded in shadow, giving him an extremely sinister air.

"you're awake?"

Jun Lian turned around upon hearing the sound, looked at Zhou Ke'er who had just come out of the door, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, casually dispersed the flames in his hand, and turned to speak to Zhou Ke'er.

"I'm standing right here, are you still asleep? That's a really low-level question."

Zhou Ke'er blinked and teased with a look of disgust, then changed to a slightly surprised expression: "Speaking of which, I thought you were going to leave me there, but I didn't expect you to actually save me."

"You, the young master of the Demonic Sect, are surprisingly kind-hearted, so eager to help others... Are you really the young master of the Demonic Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Lian shook his head, feeling both tearful and unsure of what to say. Just as he was about to say something, Zhou Ke'er interrupted him first. Zhou Ke'er took a few steps forward, approached Jun Lian, put her hands behind her back, stood on tiptoe, tilted her head, and winked mischievously. She tilted her head and said, "Could it be... that you can't bear to see me die?"

Beautiful! A perfect three-part b*tch combo! It's so smooth! Zhou Ke'er guarantees that most young boys are drawn to this kind of slutty, bitchy act.
