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

Completely unaware of the inner monologue of the guy in front of her, Zhou Ke'er scratched her head and continued, "Fine... I'll just be blunt. I think the underdog-to-hero story is quite interesting. I can help you achieve the result you want and become your golden finger grandpa. What do you think?"

That's right, this was the brilliant plan Zhou Ke'er came up with after two seconds of deep thought! Since those who wanted to kill her, Lan Yanran—no, those who wanted to kill him, Zhou Ke'er—were all using the protagonist template, why couldn't he also cultivate a group of protagonist-template characters to fight against them?!

My father said we must use magic to defeat magic!

Zhou Ke'er lit a candle for herself with great satisfaction.

Isn't Chen Yulu a perfect experimental subject?! Judging from the information I just gathered, this guy is just an outer disciple of some sect, but he caught the eye of a beautiful senior sister and was taken to a place with great opportunities, while at the same time being bullied and oppressed by cannon fodder villains from his own sect...

Goodness, if this plot continues, isn't it going to be a story where he either suddenly unleashes his full power and turns the tide, or he miraculously escapes death and ends up taking advantage of the opportunity in this land of inheritance, ultimately returning as a king?

How could Zhou Ke'er not seize this opportunity?! She's definitely going to be the old man!

"Wh...what is that? A cheat code? An old man?"

A ridiculous deduction flashed through Chen Yulu's mind, but after glancing at Zhou Ke'er's voluptuous figure, he abandoned the completely unbelievable idea.

"No, no... Thank you very much, Senior Lan, but you have troubled me... I have nothing to repay you with, and I cannot accept such a reward without having done so much..."

Even so, Chen Yulu still felt something was amiss and finally shook his head in refusal.

Do you think I'm discussing this with you?

Zhou Ke'er still asked with a playful smile, but her tone sent a chill down Chen Yulu's spine: "I just wanted to let you know about this."

## Chapter 385, Section 380: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Gives Up on Treatment (Part 4)

"!!"

Chen Yulu's pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself: Yes, with his meager strength, what right did he have to refuse Lan Yanran, this female demon? After all, the guy who had just been relentlessly beating him was killed by Lan Yanran in a single exchange, without even a chance to retaliate...

"Hey, why do you make it sound like I'm the villain? You're the one who benefits from this whole thing, aren't you? I'm going to mentor you, help you find opportunities and help you grow, and I'm not asking anything of you. It's a free deal! And you're still making excuses here, acting like you've suffered a huge loss. No wonder you're doing so badly. You're obviously not the kind of person who can do great things."

Seeing Chen Yulu's unwilling expression, Zhou Ke'er immediately put her hands on her hips and said indignantly.

If that's the case, then don't do it!

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulu couldn't help but think of a complaint. Fortunately, he had been bullied a lot and had excellent self-control. He managed to hold back and said respectfully, "Senior is right. These words are truly wise words, like a wake-up call. I was just confused. Please forgive me, Senior."

"Oh ho? Getting sarcastic now, huh?"

Zhou Ke'er's eyes widened immediately. He was always the one making sarcastic remarks to others, never the other way around. Was Chen Yulu trying to provoke him?

Chen Yulu was surprised by Zhou Ke'er's reaction and couldn't figure out what he had done to offend her. He began to complain more about Zhou Ke'er's unpredictable moods.

But there was nothing he could do; the situation was beyond his control, so he had no choice but to back down on the spot and prepare to humbly explain a few more things.

Just then, Zhou Ke'er suddenly made a shushing gesture, indicating to Chen Yulu not to speak.

"?"

Chen Yulu was unaware of what was going on, but he obediently kept quiet. There was nothing he could do; Zhou Ke'er was the boss now, so he had to listen to her.

I wonder... what he'll think when he discovers that Zhou Ke'er has truly lost all her cultivation.

"As expected of the treacherous and cunning Lan Yanran, you even managed to detect this level of immortal technique?!"

Soon, a young woman's voice rang out from the direction Zhou Ke'er had been staring at, and then a woman's figure quickly appeared.

She held a three-foot-long sword in her hand, which reflected a dark luster and exuded a chilling aura. She stared at Zhou Ke'er warily, her eyes filled with an undisguised, sinister hatred.

This guy seems to have teleported to this place using some kind of magic, and even concealed his form in the process. Fortunately, Zhou Ke'er's character template has the characteristic of "space-time affinity" because it incorporates the divine spark of the God of Time and Space as one of its spiritual power sources. This allowed him to instantly detect the anomaly in the space beside him.

Ultimately, even with the enhanced perception provided by the divine template, Zhou Ke'er only sensitively detected the anomaly during the moment of spatial teleportation. He was unable to detect the opponent's subsequent actions after concealing their presence, so he could only cautiously observe the direction from which the spatial fluctuations occurred.

Fortunately... the visitor unexpectedly exposed himself.

"...Alright, who are you? I've tricked so many people that I can only barely remember a few of the most distinctive ones. I can't even recall the minor characters...So what's the reason we've gotten into this feud?"

Zhou Ke'er rolled her eyes as she looked at the newcomer—you still have the nerve to whimper and hesitate to make a move when you see your enemy? You call this person here for revenge? Shameful!

"You forgot?! I, Yao Guang, haven't forgotten for a single moment..."

Upon hearing this, the visitor couldn't help but show an expression of being insulted, his resentment deepening. He was about to grit his teeth and "remind" Zhou Ke'er what deep-seated hatred she harbored.

Unfortunately for her, Zhou Ke'er quickly adopted a nonchalant expression and interrupted her, saying, "Oh, forget it. I'll probably forget about it as soon as you say it anyway, it's just a waste of time. Don't say it anymore. Your ultimate goal is just to kill me, right?"

Chen Yulu shuddered as the woman who called herself Yaoguang cast a venomous glance at him, and thought to himself, on the verge of tears: He was just a pitiful person being coerced! Why did she hate him too?

Especially since Zhou Ke'er said something that was extremely provocative...

He's now in a dilemma. If he denies that he's not in cahoots with Lan Yanran and was coerced by her... then, regardless of whether she believes him, he'll be killed by this female demon, Lan Yanran, in no time. If he says nothing, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting it? Then he'd be forcibly tied to Lan Yanran's side...

Was this also part of Lan Yanran's plan?! What a deep and terrifying scheme!

She's hundreds of years old; I can't beat her!

Leaving aside Chen Yulu, who was lost in thought again, Yao Guang let out a long breath, temporarily clearing her mind of the chaotic thoughts, and coldly looked at Zhou Ke'er: "You want to disturb my peace of mind? Ha... Lan Yanran, Lan Yanran, what despicable tactics! But I won't fall for your tricks! No matter what, you're dead!"

"No, no, no... Of course I know I'm doomed, it's obvious, isn't it? Even if I survive to the end in this Land of Inheritance, once it closes, I'll still be slaughtered, there's nowhere to escape. But... unfortunately, there's one thing that might be a little different from what you think..."

Zhou Ke'er curled her lips into a mocking smile: "Who do you think you are? You're a nobody whose name isn't even worthy of my attention. You want to kill me? Even if I agreed, those who want to kill me in the same way wouldn't!"

"Are you crazy? What nonsense are you spouting?! Those who want to kill you wish you could be torn to pieces, how could they possibly disagree with me killing you?!"

Yao Guang frowned and immediately retorted.

Okay, I'm not afraid of you talking to me, I'm just afraid you'll come at me head-on!

Seeing this, Zhou Ke'er was secretly delighted, then put on a matter-of-fact expression, "Isn't this obvious? I'm just asking you, do you want to kill me with your own hands? Do you want to tear me to pieces?"

"nonsense!"

Yao Guang coldly uttered two words.

"That's it! You want to do it yourself, but they don't? You hate me this much, even though I have absolutely no recollection of you. So, wouldn't the desire to tear me to pieces be even stronger for those I do remember? Do you think... you've taken their target, and they'll just let go of this hatred?"

Zhou Ke'er revealed a chilling smile, "Wrong... They'll just transfer this hatred onto you! You actually killed the person they went through so much trouble to kill, the person they'd wanted to kill their whole lives, so casually, and not even in front of them, they didn't feel involved at all... Can you bear this emptiness, this sense of loss?!"

## Chapter 386, Section 381: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Gives Up on Treatment (Part 5)

"!!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Guang couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She actually used other people who wanted to kill him to threaten her into not killing him. To be fair, Zhou Ke'er's shamelessness was truly eye-opening for Yao Guang.

But upon closer reflection, it did seem to make sense... If someone else had killed Lan Yanran before her, she might indeed have felt resentful and disappointed, and even harbor resentment towards that person who killed Lan Yanran first...

"Hmph, I, Lan Yanran, am only fit to be killed by the strong!"

Zhou Ke'er crossed her arms, looking completely at ease, and said with her head held high.

It's a pity that only one Yao Guang came from the other side. If two or three people had come, Zhou Ke'er might have been able to instigate them to fight each other first.

"wrong!"

However, Yao Guang was a cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years. Although she had been tricked in the heat of the moment, she quickly recovered: "If I kill you here, then grind your bones to dust and destroy the evidence, no one will know that I killed you! That way, I can get my revenge without incurring their hatred! After all... in your current state, you might die if you encounter danger in the inheritance grounds. That's a possibility!"

"Wrong! Who says no one will find out?! Look who's next to me? If you dare kill me, my good brother here will definitely help me spread the word, so don't worry!"

Zhou Ke'er immediately shook her head, reached out and patted Chen Yulu's shoulder, and said with certainty.

"???"

Chen Yulu, who had been standing silently to the side, was stunned. He stared wide-eyed at Zhou Ke'er, who was completely shameless. He never expected that this girl could say such outrageous things. He had really underestimated her shamelessness.

"Then kill him too!"

Yao Guang said without hesitation.

"Hey! Me and..."

Chen Yulu was on the verge of tears and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but was immediately interrupted by Zhou Ke'er: "That's right, did you hear that? My good brother will never succumb to your tyranny! Even if you chase him all the way, he will definitely spread the word!"

"..."

Chen Yulu looked at Zhou Ke'er, who was spouting nonsense, in despair, so heartbroken that he couldn't utter a single word.

Yao Guang didn't say much, probably realizing that chatting with Zhou Ke'er was pointless and might even lead her astray. So she simply raised her three-foot-long sword and unleashed a moon-white sword aura at Zhou Ke'er.

"Wow! That's dangerous! Are you trying to kill me right now?!"

Seeing this, Zhou Ke'er quickly teleported two steps away, narrowly avoiding the sword energy.

It wasn't that Zhou Ke'er was intentionally trying to manipulate the system; rather, the divine power consumed by her spatial teleportation skill was directly proportional to the distance traveled. If she could compress the distance as much as possible, with her current divine power, Zhou Ke'er could easily teleport at least a hundred times within this small area. However, if she chose too far a distance, she would quickly run out of divine power and become dangerous.

"Nonsense! If I don't kill you, am I supposed to protect you?!"

Yao Guang narrowed her eyes. She had thought that Zhou Ke'er would not be able to dodge that move just now, given that she had lost all her cultivation. But she didn't expect that she could still use immortal techniques. It seems that the appearance of having her meridians severed and her cultivation completely destroyed was just a disguise to make others lower their guard!

As expected of the treacherous and cunning Lan Yanran, she is indeed deeply scheming!

"No, no! Look, killing me with one blow is so boring, wouldn't that be too easy on me? Shouldn't you be thinking of capturing me alive and then torturing me to death, cutting me into a thousand pieces and scattering my bones to ashes?!"

Zhou Ke'er quickly advised, "Giving me a quick death is actually helping me. That way, the other people who hate me will definitely not let you off the hook for killing me so easily!"

"you..."

Upon hearing Zhou Ke'er's words, Yao Guang was momentarily speechless. However, she knew in her heart that she absolutely could not be swayed by Zhou Ke'er's criticisms. So, she simply frowned, pursed her lips, and remained silent, raising her hand as if to use some kind of sword technique.

"Spare his life!"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from not far away, and a young man carrying a broadsword walked quickly from around the corner. "What she said makes a lot of sense. She can't just be killed like that... Miss, would you do me the honor of handing over this female demon, Lan Yanran, to me? Killing her with just one sword is too easy for her!"

"..."

Yao Guang frowned, secretly sensing the newcomer's cultivation level—he was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, on par with her. So what? And he dared to say he'd give her face? Did he really think he was someone important?

"Fellow Daoist Feng, don't you know that everything is about first come, first served?"

After sizing up the newcomer and finding that he wasn't a famous prodigy from any major sect, Yao Guang wasn't afraid and immediately snorted and refused.

When it comes to revenge, Yao Guang was able to remain calm and think things through only in front of Zhou Ke'er, without any other coercion. But now that an uninvited guest has appeared out of nowhere and wants to steal her target... that is absolutely unforgivable.

So, she resolutely stepped into the situation that Zhou Ke'er had just described—competing with others for the right to kill Zhou Ke'er.

"Then there's nothing I can do. Since the young lady refuses to give it to me, I'll have to come and get it myself! My apologies!"

As he spoke, the man's broadsword flashed and he immediately swung it at Yao Guang.

"Is this guy some kind of idiot? Good grief... if you're going to fight over the shark, you should at least attack me! What's with suddenly slashing at her...?"

Seeing this, Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but complain in her heart, but complaining aside, she naturally wouldn't let go of this golden opportunity.
