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

"It's okay, I'm good friends with the police officers."

Zhou Ke'er grinned and replied, "Even if it's not right now, it will be after they see me."

"Seriously, officer? Just how rich is your family?"

Cold-cooked rabbit didn't find the point, and just jokingly complained.

…………

In short, we were supposed to have a proper discussion about the preparations for the event, but Zhou Ke'er kept inexplicably interrupting and relentlessly changing the subject, even when Honghe was pinning her to the ground and beating her, she still tirelessly rambled on and on...

So everyone didn't discuss anything at all, and just rambled on about a bunch of meaningless things, such as "whales are in great pain because their genitals can't close after they poop." Before they knew it, it was almost time for the event to start.

A painful sigh escaped from the sofa between his fingers. Sure enough, with Zhou Ke'er present, it was absolutely impossible to make any serious arrangements.

Loading module... Countdown, 5...4...

As the countdown ended, a cloud of black mist surged in, and when Zhou Ke'er opened her eyes again the next second...

A jet-black claw grew larger and larger in his field of vision, seemingly lunging at him fiercely.

"Huh? Good grief?"

Zhou Ke'er blinked, but didn't panic. He was just a little disappointed. He had originally wanted to say something like, "Ah, another unfamiliar ceiling," but he didn't expect to be greeted by the monster's claws. How enthusiastic!

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Ke'er instantly teleported behind the monster in front of her, whose full appearance she hadn't even had a chance to see clearly. The Jade Trace Sword appeared in her hand, and with a whoosh, a flash of cold light appeared, and the monster was cleaved in two horizontally, falling to the ground with a "thud".

"Good heavens... this kind of scene actually passed censorship? What happened to the promised green blood? Come to think of it, this monster is just a bit ugly-looking, but it's actually pretty weak, isn't it?"

Zhou Ke'er kicked away a section of the monster's body that was falling towards her, and couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath. At the same time, she took the opportunity to look around and try to find out where Red Crane and the others were.

He found himself outside a high wall, similar to the one in Attack on Titan. From here, he couldn't see what was inside, but all he could see were ruins and countless strangely shaped monsters and the people fighting them.

However, judging from the traces of those broken walls and ruins, this is not some ancient time and space, but rather the abandoned outskirts of a modern city.

When Zhou Ke'er first saw the words "defend the city," the first thing that came to her mind was an ancient city wall. She never expected it to be like this.

The surroundings were in chaos, with small pieces of dead bodies scattered everywhere, or perhaps large pieces of human or monster bodies, and the ground was soaked red with blood.

In this situation, apart from those very close by, there's no time to pay attention to what's happening further away. Even if you try to look, you simply can't tell who you're looking at.

In short, Zhou Ke'er didn't see any of her teammates, but unfortunately, an old acquaintance happened to be right next to her.

It was Comrade Long Aotian, whom he had been talking about before the event.

The two stared at each other closely amidst the chaotic battlefield. Zhou Ke'er began to worry that this guy might suddenly draw his sword and shoot her, so she immediately took the initiative and, under Long Aotian's panicked gaze, slashed at him with her sword.

"Pfft..."

Although Long Aotian hadn't reacted yet and didn't dodge at all, Zhou Ke'er still couldn't hit him. Just as the sword was swinging in mid-air, it was as if it had hit some kind of solid object. With a tooth-grinding sound, a spurt of blood rang out.

As the sword was swung, the shape of a monster gradually emerged, its features indistinct, and it wore an expression of disbelief (Yeah, right! What kind of expression could a mindless monster have!).

Zhou Ke'er reacted instantly. Before Long Aotian could recover, she immediately put on an impatient look and said coldly, "Hey, how long are you going to stand there like a dazed man? Are you waiting to die by standing here like that? Do you expect me to come and save you like your men do?"

Long Aotian then came to his senses. He had just thought that Zhou Ke'er was trying to take the initiative and kill him (that's right), but he didn't expect that she was actually saving him.

"boom!"

Just then, a faint sound of a bullet whizzed past Zhou Ke'er's ear, followed by the sound of something being hit not far behind him.

Without even thinking, Zhou Ke'er instinctively swung her sword back and cleaved the monster behind her in two before even turning her head.

As expected of a spirit sword, the Jade Trace Sword is indeed incredibly easy to use.

Looking ahead, they saw a girl carrying a sniper rifle scrambling towards them, saying expressionlessly, "When you're saving others, don't forget the monster behind you."

Wow! Zhou Ke'er remembered now, what a coincidence! This woman is none other than Yi An, whom they coincidentally saved in the previous event module. It's quite a coincidence that they could meet each other from so far away.

With this lineup, including Zhou Ke'er, Long Aotian, and Yi An, all that's missing is Hong He to perfectly replicate the previous lineup.

“I’ve observed them, and these monsters aren’t particularly strong individually; in fact, they’re quite weak. As long as they aren’t attacked, an average adult male should be able to kill one of them one-on-one. But the problem now is that there are just too many of them; they’re practically renewable.”

Yi An had no intention of reminiscing with Zhou Ke'er. Instead, he immediately began analyzing the situation, saying coldly, "As a sniper, I'm not very effective on this kind of battlefield to begin with. I didn't expect to be spawned on the battlefield, without even a high ground or cover... It's practically suicide. Given the current situation, we have no choice but to cooperate."

"Hey, did you hear me?"

Zhou Ke'er called out to Long Aotian, who was a few steps away, "Let's put aside our past grievances for now and cooperate, okay?"

"can."

Long Aotian didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed to Zhou Ke'er's suggestion, quickly walking over. "However, I have a question..."

"After resolving the current issues, then..."

"That woman I met before, Zhou Ke'er, is that you too?"

"...grass?!"

## Chapter 418, Section 413: The Battle to Defend the City (Part Two)

"No, I'm not! Don't talk nonsense! You've mistaken me for someone else."

Zhou Ke'er immediately launched into a triple denial, while simultaneously battling the relentless onslaught of monsters, and abruptly changing the subject: "Speaking of which... don't you guys find it strange? Judging from the appearance of those abandoned buildings, this module should be set in a modern era, and we've even tested it ourselves; these monsters aren't that strong..."

"If that's the case, why not first use firearms or other heat-based weapons to impose a firepower blockade, and then let us directly enter the battlefield after we run out of ammunition and have no resupply? That would be both safe and efficient."

"boom!"

In this place, Yi An had to use the sniper rifle as a rifle, firing at the monsters rushing towards them. At the same time, he replied, "I don't know. If there were troops using firearms, I should have appeared in cover or a high sniping position when I entered the module, but I didn't. I appeared directly in the battlefield just like you, and apart from my gunshots, there seemed to be very few gunshots."

"Hey... I mean, there are so many monsters, it's endless, and you can't even see the end of them... How many do we have to kill to repel this wave?"

Long Aotian held no weapon, but his fingernails instantly sharpened, a crimson glint flashing in his pupils. With a thrust of his arm, he easily pierced the throat of a monster, blood gushing from the wound. He couldn't help but frown. "Moreover... the blood of these monsters can't replenish my energy. At this rate, I can't fight a war of attrition with them. Human strength has its limits."

"You know, according to the usual pattern, this kind of monster tide will definitely have a leader or something. As long as we take advantage of the fact that we still have about 70-80% of our strength, we can rush in and make a big move, and take the enemy general's head right in the middle of the enemy army. The monster tide should then retreat on its own."

Zhou Ke'er offered a very constructive suggestion and said to Yi An, "Didn't you bring a sniper rifle? Quickly use the scope to observe and see if there's anything that looks like a monster leader."

"Without a high vantage point, how could I possibly see any monster resembling a leader while standing here on flat ground!"

Yi An expressionlessly pulled the pin, reloaded, and replied, "The visibility here is very poor. Unless that monster is several buildings tall, I have no way of finding it. Besides, if that thing is really that tall, then I don't need to look for it at all; you can see it too."

Just then, the three of them suddenly heard a strange sound coming from not far away.

A fierce female voice suddenly rang out: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!"

A blonde woman moved with incredible speed, shouting strange onomatopoeia while waving her hands frantically, tearing a small opening through the monster horde and charging straight through.

Good heavens, isn't that Dior? This is way too reckless...

"Tsk..."

Long Aotian frowned as he looked at the figure. "Why is it this guy again..."

"You know him?"

Zhou Ke'er began to marvel at how small the world was.

"Not really... it's just that she refused when I invited her to join my guild before."

Long Aotian shook his head. "Although she's slightly weaker than me, she's still quite strong. She and I are both vampires. But there seems to be something different about us."

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but think to herself, "Of course they're different! You're just an ordinary European vampire, while they wear stone masks!"

"Hey, wait a minute! Why aren't you vampires afraid of sunlight?"

Just then, Zhou Ke'er suddenly realized something crucial. Dio wasn't afraid of sunlight, which could be attributed to him finding the Red Stone of Aja (although that's not very realistic), but why wasn't Long Aotian afraid of sunlight either?! Are you still a vampire?!

"You're really asking for other people's specific information right off the bat. You're really not polite."

Long Aotian snorted coldly, saying with a hint of arrogance, "However, it doesn't matter if I tell you. After all, someone as perfect as me can still defeat my opponent even if I tell him all the information."

"Okay, I don't want to know anymore. You can continue to protect your privacy."

Zhou Ke'er squinted and turned her head away.

"?"

Long Aotian choked upon hearing this, because he was just about to speak when Zhou Ke'er suddenly changed her mind!

"If you have anything to talk about, don't do it now, and don't do it here!"

Yi An shot and killed a monster that pounced on Long Aotian from behind, then said coldly without expression, "Don't get killed by a monster of this level by accident."

"It's okay, I have special escape techniques."

Zhou Ke'er smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

Although he could try to clear a small area using the spells recorded in "Two or Three", considering his pitifully small amount of spiritual power, he estimated that the spells would end prematurely before they were fully executed. So so far, he has only been killing monsters with his spiritual sword in ordinary terms.

Come to think of it, I should have tried cultivating in the main world first to see if I could break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. After all, his cultivation system doesn't require tempering his mind or expanding his spiritual palace... As long as he has enough spiritual power and evil energy, and inserts a source of mutation into his body, or upgrades the existing source of mutation within him, he can advance smoothly.

He currently possesses a dual-core system, so theoretically, he could directly reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. After that, he would need to continue searching for the source of mutation.

However, looking at these bizarre monsters in front of her, Zhou Ke'er had a premonition... who knows, she might be able to get one from this module.

"Speaking of which, I really think the design of this module is weird... Why are we fighting so chaotically, it feels like we're all fighting our own battles..."

After surveying the surroundings, Long Aotian frowned and began to analyze the situation. "They're completely disorganized and undisciplined... This means we're definitely not part of the city's army. So why are we the ones who came out to fight first? Or has the army been wiped out?"

"Let's send out a bunch of cannon fodder to buy time. Only after the superiors have all withdrawn will we have the energy to suppress them with firepower."

Zhou Ke'er replied matter-of-factly, "Monsters of this level are probably just the vanguard or a prelude. There will definitely be more and stronger monsters later. They probably think that this city is definitely not going to be able to be defended, or at least it is not safe, so they protected the important personnel and made them retreat first. Logically speaking, that should be the case."
