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

Honghe glanced at Zhou Ke'er and couldn't help but roll her dead fish eyes. "Do you want to explode right now? I've already buried the death mark on your body."

"What?! You used something I gave you to kill me?! Are you even human?!"

Even Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but be amazed by Honghe's shamelessness.

"Thank you, you're the best teacher."

Honghe nodded with an air of seriousness and pride.

"Oh right, why are only you few here? Where is the others? Since Zhijiansha is back, Chen Tian should be back too, right? Has she logged off?"

Zhou Ke'er pursed her lips, not intending to continue the pointless bickering with Honghe, and took the initiative to change the subject and ask.

"!!!"

Zhijiansha, who was eavesdropping outside the door with her ear pressed against it, heard Zhou Ke'er's words and instantly widened her eyes—their eyes were almost like those of anime characters with huge, expressive eyes. She felt that at this rate, her eyeballs would pop out one day—she exclaimed inwardly, "Holy crap?! Asking where Chen Tian went in front of Honghe?! That's so damn brave! Are all scumbags these days so confident?!"

Sensing that something absolutely terrible was about to happen, Zhijiansha quickly took two steps back, grabbed Lengchitu who was still unaware of what was going on, and said anxiously, "Quick, let's go to another module to take refuge. We can't stay here any longer!"

Meanwhile, leaving aside the sand between his fingers outside who was frightening himself, the two people inside didn't react in any particular way.

"Oh, when she came back she asked us if you were back, but after waiting for a while and not seeing you, she told us what happened to you and then logged off. Maybe something happened."

The flamingo replied in a flat tone.

"Oh...I see."

Zhou Ke'er scratched her head.

Then....

Then they fell silent.

"Ah, that..."

"Oh right, that teleportation array..."

Then... the two of them suddenly spoke a few words in unison, and after realizing that the other was also speaking, they both shut up at the same time.

"...You go first. That's what I wanted to ask too."

In the end, it was Zhou Ke'er who broke the deadlock.

"Oh, I see. Although we've found the location of the teleportation array, there's a group of monsters guarding it, and we can't take them all out yet, which is a bit tricky. Secondly, the teleportation array is still in an unactivated state, as if it's missing some key item to activate it, but we don't have any clue about it yet."

Red Crane, on the other hand, showed no embarrassment whatsoever; rather, she probably didn't care about the atmosphere at all. "Finally... Cold-Cooked Rabbit was quite lucky; she found the item used to unlock a character template. But unlike us who can unlock it directly with template vouchers, she has to complete a series of quests to finally unlock it. That character template seems to be related to the teleportation array, so maybe once she successfully unlocks it, she'll have a way to solve the teleportation array problem."

"Oh...I see..."

Zhou Ke'er thought for a moment. If even Red Crane, who used the Faceless One's Mask, and Violent Cold-Eating Rabbit couldn't deal with those monsters, then with his current mediocre magical skills, he'd probably just be sent to his doom.

If everyone were still around, and if those monsters weren't too intelligent, we could kite them and lure them over one by one to kill them, but that's not easy to do right now. Oh well, we'll have to try again next time.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ke'er shrugged: "Alright, let's talk about this later. Let's relax in the next module. I still have one last gender-swap punishment left."

## Chapter 381, Section 376: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Gives Up on Treatment (Zero)

"Hmm...okay."

Honghe didn't say anything more after hearing this, and nodded in agreement.

"Then let's... Hehe, did you think I'd say that? Did you think I'd invite you to download mods with me? That's obviously impossible, hehehehehe!"

Zhou Ke'er suddenly revealed an extremely lewd and arrogant smile to Honghe, "The thing I like to do most in my life is to say no to those self-righteous people!"

Before Honghe could react, Zhou Ke'er directly entered the single-player mode.

"?????"

Honghe typed five question marks in a row at the spot where Zhou Ke'er had been, but unfortunately, as long as Zhou Ke'er was fast enough, her question marks couldn't catch up with her.

Enjoy the game!

Then, as usual, comes the opening animation.

The scene shows a stunning woman who bears a striking resemblance to Zhou Ke'er. She is dressed in a dark red, flowing dress with wide sleeves and dark gold trim, which adds to her luxurious air. Her arrogant expression further emphasizes her haughtiness.

She stood condescendingly in front of a handsome young man, whose face was contorted with anger. His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh as he roared, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years east of the river! Don't underestimate a young man's potential!"

(Zhou Ke'er: ??? Why is it another annulment story? This script... am I playing the villainous supporting character again?!)

Then, the scene changes.

"You lowly slave born of a concubine, how dare you presume to have the qualifications to cultivate the Dao? Know your place!"

A voice, both alluring and seductive, yet laced with undisguised sarcasm, rang out. Immediately, the beautiful woman who had just been seen raised her delicate, boneless hand high and slapped a simply dressed, pitiful-looking young woman hard across the face, knocking her to the ground and drawing blood from the corner of her mouth.

"I will always keep my elder sister's teachings in mind!"

The young woman lowered her head and spoke respectfully, but secretly she was gritting her teeth as she spoke.

(Zhou Ke'er: Goodness... fast forward to the illegitimate sons vying for the throne?)

The scene then shifts again.

In a simple wooden hut, a young man with a furrowed brow suddenly awoke from his dream. He looked around in surprise, glanced at his hands, and muttered to himself, "I've... gone back to before everything began?! I've been reborn?!"

He suddenly jumped out of bed, his face a mixture of wild joy and boundless hatred. He trembled with excitement and gritted his teeth, saying, "This is another chance from heaven to avenge myself! Lan Yanran, this time... I will tear you to pieces!"

(Zhou Ke'er: Good heavens, I'm exclaiming good heavens?! There are just too many elements! This already includes the annulment of engagement, the illegitimate child, and the rebirth... And why is this villainous female supporting character named Lan Yanran?! Do all villainous female supporting characters have the same name?!)

Then, the scene changed again.

In the boundless darkness of the sky, the raging fire tinged the inky black sky with a hint of orange-red.

In a small village, corpses lay strewn everywhere, and wails and screams echoed all around. Flames burned on all the houses, and the once peaceful and tranquil village had been completely destroyed.

A young child, hiding in a concealed spot, stared intently at Lan Yanran, who was soaring away on her sword, with eyes filled with terror, despair, and resentment. Lan Yanran was clearly aware of the gaze, but merely glanced at the child with disdain, as if looking at an insignificant ant, and then walked away without a care.

Only the heart-wrenching and desperate cries of the young child remained long afterward.

Immediately following, a series of fast-forwarded montages of "Lan Yanran committing evil deeds and making enemies with protagonists of various schools" flashed by, and finally the scene stopped in a magnificent and luxurious hall.

A sweet-looking young woman in a plain white robe stood before the hall, her expression serious and angry. Before everyone inside, she loudly recounted all of Lan Yanran's crimes. Behind her were her seemingly cold but warm-hearted master, her handsome and upright eldest brother, and her gentle and considerate second brother, all supporting her. (Incidentally, these crimes were discovered with the help of a secular prince who had never shown his face, and the young master of a secret intelligence agency in the cultivation world.)

Under this series of irrefutable evidence, the sect leader was naturally furious and directly ordered that Lan Yanran be thrown into the forbidden area, stripped of her cultivation, and sent to the execution platform to suffer the cruel torture of being cut into a thousand pieces.

Suddenly, a strange thing happened. It turned out that Lan Yanran had been secretly practicing evil magic all along. Caught off guard, she managed to escape through the door.

As a direct disciple of a major sect, she happened to possess a token that allowed her to enter a powerful inheritance site. This site was forbidden to those above the Nascent Soul stage, making it the perfect place for Lan Yanran, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, to hide and avoid trouble.

However, to her surprise, the matter was spread by those with ulterior motives, making it known throughout the entire cultivation world. Countless people who wanted to kick a man when he was down and seek revenge flocked to that place of inheritance.

Meanwhile, Lan Yanran, who had finally entered the land of inheritance after fleeing all the way, was already seriously injured and had lost most of her cultivation. She was almost in a hopeless situation.

After the system notification ended, Zhou Ke'er opened her eyes and found herself in a dark and gloomy underground palace, sitting awkwardly against the wall, with unhealed wounds gushing blood.

Zhou Ke'er glanced at the status bar subconsciously.

Good heavens, he only has about 300% stamina left at the start, and what the heck is "most of his cultivation has been destroyed"?! This puts him in a dangerous place, facing guys who could suddenly appear and kill him at any moment. This isn't a sure-fire way to die, it's like he's already dead!

He could see the death star above his head! His life was already as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind!

"ha..."

Zhou Ke'er chose to give up treatment.

## Chapter 382, ​​Section 377: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Gives Up on Treatment (Part 1)

Kidding.

How could Zhou Ke'er be willing to fall to the ground and become a couch potato?

Most importantly... what if you die too quickly, and after the module ends, you're teleported back to the safe house only to find that the Flamingo is still there... wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?!

Zhou Ke'er examined her current situation. Although most of her cultivation had been destroyed, fortunately, most of her injuries seemed to be related to this. With the shattering of her nascent soul and the collapse of her golden core, the only real problems on Zhou Ke'er's body were some bruises and abrasions on her body, which were not serious and would not hinder her from walking or running.

Of course, even so... this is still a hellish start. Even with Zhou Ke'er's inherent strength, escaping in the short term by exploiting information asymmetry wouldn't be a problem, but given enough time, the cultivators chasing him would definitely discover something amiss. After all, cultivators who have lived for so many years and reached the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stages are unlikely to be brainless. Given his current character template of only just beginning the Qi Refining stage, he'd probably be dead in a single encounter.

Zhou Ke'er's first thought was to quickly change her appearance and disguise herself so that others wouldn't recognize her so easily, but after thinking about it, she realized it was useless—in a place of inheritance where almost everyone was a Golden Core cultivator, a mortal suddenly appeared, was there any need to think about it?

We have to think of another way...

Zhou Ke'er was leaning against the wall... uh, just about to stand up, but then she suddenly realized that she might accidentally trigger some kind of mechanism or something, so she quickly withdrew her hand, slowly stood up on her own, and cautiously looked around.

Based on the final cutscene, it seems that after Zhou Ke'er entered this land of inheritance, she was randomly teleported to some location within it. Moreover, Zhou Ke'er did not have a map or anything like that, so she obviously had no idea where she was.

"Lan Yanran! You can't escape! Even if it means ruining your future and dropping your cultivation level, I will tear you to pieces!"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from not far behind Zhou Ke'er, containing a strong sense of resentment and... the joy of about to get revenge.

Zhou Ke'er subconsciously turned her head to look, but unexpectedly, perhaps due to the aftereffects of her cultivation being destroyed or something else, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she caught the wall in time.

After regaining her balance, Zhou Ke'er immediately looked up and saw a young man dressed in a black robe, which was inexplicably soaked in blood, walking towards her step by step. He was tightly gripping a broadsword in his hand and seemed to be trembling slightly due to being too excited.

Zhou Ke'er recognized him; this guy seemed to be one of the people who chased Lan Yanran on her way to the inheritance site at the end of the story animation.

Lan Yanran should have only been in this inheritance ground for a short time, so random teleportation shouldn't have been able to find him so easily. And he shouldn't have been so badly injured in such a short time... Judging from his tone, it seems that he used some special method to forcibly teleport to a location close to Zhou Ke'er, and his injuries are probably a side effect of this special method.

"Um... let's talk this out calmly, instead of jumping straight into threats of violence..."

Zhou Ke'er's lips twitched. This guy wasn't one of the first few to appear in the opening animation, so he didn't know how Lan Yanran had tricked him. Even if he wanted to exploit his weakness and be sarcastic, he wouldn't have the chance. He could only take it one step at a time.

"Can't you talk this out?! My senior sister just happened to pass by you and blocked your way for a moment, and you attacked her without saying a word and turned her into a human pig... Why didn't you talk this out then?! Die!"
