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

## Chapter 421, Section 416: The Battle to Defend the City (Part 5)

"Hey... to be honest, I initially thought you'd turn around and leave when you saw me surrounded by monsters... who knows, if things got even worse, you might just stand there and watch me get torn to pieces by the monsters before you were satisfied."

Long Aojiao, who was still holding onto Zhou Ke'er, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke up as if it were unintentional.

"Ah, that is indeed the case to some extent."

Zhou Ke'er didn't turn her head and spoke her mind without any attempt to hide her thoughts.

"Huh?!"

Long Aojiao choked upon hearing this, "But in the end you still chose to save me! Since the outcome was good, wouldn't it have been better to tell a little white lie, or at least make it more subtle?"

"What's the reason? You're not my girlfriend, why should I comfort you? Besides, I'm the one who saved you, why don't you try to appease me?"

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You guys who have no self-awareness really leave me speechless."

"...Should I...come to comfort you?"

Long Aojiao gave a look that seemed to say, "Does this guy even have any shame?" But Zhou Ke'er couldn't see it anyway.

"It's to comfort me, not to comfort my mom."

Zhou Ke'er sighed, "Sigh, even if you didn't pretend to be an idiot, I wouldn't throw you off here. Why demean yourself like this? Besides, I never said I preferred saving idiots."

Long Aojiao was speechless after being choked by Zhou Ke'er's words. She puffed out her cheeks in anger. When had she ever been treated like this, as a proper young lady? Whether in real life or in the guild, she was always the center of attention. Who knew that this devil Zhou Ke'er would suddenly appear out of nowhere? Not only did she kill her in a cruel way last time, but now she was talking to her like this as if she was deliberately trying to anger her. It was infuriating!

"Ah...SHIT"

Zhou Ke'er suddenly made an ACT3 sound, her expression slightly unpleasant.

As expected, with only the spiritual power of a Qi Refining stage cultivator, it was far too difficult to use the Sword Control Technique. Less than a minute had passed, and his spiritual power was already exhausted. He had thought he could at least last another thirty seconds.

"What happened? What happened?!"

When Long Aojiao saw Zhou Ke'er suddenly utter a curse word, he couldn't help but ask.

"Look, we're flying pretty high now, aren't we?"

Zhou Ke'er turned around, pulling Long Aojiao off her as she said in a serious tone, "So, the situation is, get ready, we're about to fall."

After saying that, Zhou Ke'er smiled and put the [Tongyou Sword] under her feet back into her backpack. Before Long Aojiao could react, she waved to her and gave her an encouraging smile. Then she instantly teleported to the ground directly below and shouted to Long Aojiao, "Don't worry, if the landing fails, I will help you send your body to your brother. This will not cost extra. Who can blame me for being beautiful and kind-hearted?"

To be honest, there was no need for the fall to happen directly. The remaining spiritual energy was actually enough for an emergency landing, and at most, the person would just stumble and fall when landing.

But... since Zhou Ke'er can teleport anyway, it doesn't matter if she falls from a great height. It's better to save some spiritual energy for emergencies. After all, his most powerful and effective attack methods are basically spells from the "Two or Three" levels, and those spells naturally all rely on spiritual energy to be released.

"Wow ah ah!"

Long Aojiao fell from mid-air in a daze, instinctively shouting. She never expected that Zhou Ke'er would pull this trick on her when she was almost back to safety. It was like a bamboo shoot mother opening the door for her bamboo shoot baby, the bamboo shoot had arrived home.

Fortunately, she had a special escape technique. She tried her best to adjust her body from a sideways, clawing fall to a completely unscientific, vertical drop with her feet pointing downwards.

Then, just before she was about to fall to the ground, she suddenly stepped on the air and jumped up, then landed steadily.

"What the hell?"

Zhou Ke'er stared at Long Aojiao in disbelief. If she could fly or had some other amazing skill, he wouldn't have anything to say, but a double jump on air?

Good heavens, if Newton's body hadn't already rotted away, his coffin lid really wouldn't have been able to hold him down.

If we let her develop this further, wouldn't it directly develop into a major new school of thought in the field of mechanics, and then the first law of Long Aojiao would emerge: it is possible to step on the right foot with the left foot and fly into the sky.

"Hey! What are you doing! This is so disgusting! We were almost out of the woods and you're doing this? Are you trying to make me fall to my death while I'm still hoping to escape?! You're terrifying!"

As soon as Long Aojiao landed, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then spoke vehemently to Zhou Ke'er.

Zhou Ke'er didn't say anything, but instead walked aggressively toward Long Aojiao with her sword in hand.

"Hey, I was just making a comment, there's no need to add insult to injury, right?"

Long Aojiao was startled by Zhou Ke'er's appearance. He immediately smiled awkwardly and waved his hands as he hurriedly backed away.

Then, after taking only two steps back, she felt herself bump into something.

Hesitantly turning her head, she saw a monster staring at her, and the atmosphere froze for a moment. She felt like the monster was saying, "Little sister, what's wrong with you? I haven't even come to catch you yet, why are you delivering yourself to my doorstep?"

At the same time, a sword grazed her temple and stabbed fiercely, then flashed and instantly sliced ​​off half of the monster's head.

"Ah...so didn't I just say that even if you didn't pretend to be an idiot, I would still save you? There's no need to keep doing this...wait a minute..."

Zhou Ke'er spoke in a very helpless tone, but she paused halfway through her sentence and then changed to a tone of realization, saying apologetically, "You're not really brain-dead, are you? I'm so sorry, I misunderstood. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to misunderstand you like that. I just thought that only normal people would be brain-dead like that when they're acting. I'm really sorry."

Long Aojiao had never suffered such humiliation in her life. When she was verbally attacked by Zhou Ke'er for the first time, she couldn't hold back and immediately pouted, about to burst into tears.

Unexpectedly, when Zhou Ke'er saw this trend, tears streamed down her face like a burst of urine, even faster than Long Aojiao. Before Long Aojiao could even cry out, Jiu started sobbing loudly.

"Waaaaah, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to misunderstand you, please don't be angry, waaaaah!"

That crying was so pathetic.

Enraged, Long Aojiao held back her tears and even burped.

Why are you crying?!

Long Aojiao frantically tugged at her hair, "I'm a girl and I haven't even cried yet, why are you crying faster than me! Why are you so skilled at it!"

"What do you mean?! You look down on us men? You're making stereotypes? Why can't we men cry? You discriminate against men?!"

Zhou Ke'er looked at Long Aojiao with an incredulous expression. "That's too much! What era is this? How can there still be such a feudal person like you?! When I hear your words full of stereotypes, I can't help but raise my fist. This world is full of oppression against us men. When will the male group finally stand up?"

## Chapter 422, Section 417: Zhou Ke'er's Identity in Great Crisis!

"..."

Looking at Zhou Ke'er's indignant expression, Long Aojiao was at a loss for words.

Well, this guy always manages to leave her speechless from all sorts of bizarre angles; perhaps that's a talent in itself?

"Hey, what are you still standing there for? So... haven't you realized yet? The plane crashed halfway through because I ran out of mana... If you don't try to escape now, I can't take you with me."

Zhou Ke'er, with an air of self-righteousness, complained arrogantly to Long, "Seriously, saving you is so tiring..."

Before he could finish speaking, a very surprised voice rang out from not far away, "Divine Messenger??"

Zhou Ke'er was initially stunned, but soon a bad feeling welled up in her heart, and she subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

It was Dio, who had just been charging around recklessly with "no load, no load, no load" all along!

However, it's true... this guy was indeed running amok in roughly this area, and given that Zhou Ke'er and the others flew over quite conspicuously from the sky, it's quite normal that she spotted them here.

But then she discovered that Zhou Ke'er, who had previously appeared in her module, had actually been misleading her all along!

And he was even called a messenger of the gods or something...

Huh? Or is it more like a mix of shame and stimulating pleasure?

"What's going on here?"

Long Aojiao was a little confused. She moved closer to Zhou Ke'er and asked in a low voice, "So your real name is actually something like 'Shen Shi'?"

"No, actually, it's just that I ran into this person in a module, and I lied to her and said I was a messenger of some god. I didn't expect her to actually believe me..."

Zhou Ke'er shrugged and replied with an expression that said, "There's nothing I can do if she believes me."

"...As expected of you."

Long Aojiao glanced at Dio, who was rushing towards them, with a pitying look. "But are you sure she won't want to skin you alive after she finds out the truth?"

"It's okay, even if I run out of mana, she can't catch me. Besides, I can say you're my best friend, so she can catch you and I can escape."

Zhou Ke'er grinned and gave Long Aojiao a thumbs up, but said shamelessly, "I'll reappear after she's tormented you and calmed down."

Long Aojiao stared at Zhou Ke'er in disbelief. This girl was truly pushing the boundaries of shamelessness in her mind time and time again...

However, precisely because of this, the tension caused by encountering the previous enemy and being saved by this guy quickly disappeared, and Long Aojiao naturally started to complain.

So... this is how mentally ill people make friends?

"You...no, how did you get here?"

Dio, who had rushed all the way to Zhou Ke'er and Long Aojiao, finally stopped and looked Zhou Ke'er up and down with a puzzled expression, as if he wanted to confirm again whether this guy was the divine messenger she had seen before.

Are you talking about me?

Zhou Ke'er looked puzzled, glanced at Dior, and seemed to tilt her head in thought for a moment before replying, "Excuse me, when have we met? Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else? I'm not the 'Shen Shi' you were just talking about. My name is Zhou Ke'er."

"Clam?"

Without a second thought, Dior instinctively replied, "Zhou Ke'er is a woman."

Hearing this, Long Aojiao suddenly realized—oh right! Because this guy had introduced himself to her in the previous event module, he hadn't mentioned it yet... and she had been ignoring that. Wasn't this guy's nickname exactly the same as that female player's nickname, which was somehow always posted on the official forum for the module video?

"?"

Zhou Ke'er tilted her head and silently typed a question mark.

Hey guys, can't you get a little more urgency?! They're right in the middle of a monster horde! How can they chat like this so casually?! Just because he's constantly killing the approaching monsters doesn't mean this place is safe! He gets tired too!

"Hey hey hey!! Wait a minute! These two swords you're holding... they really do look exactly like the two swords that female player Zhou Ke'er just posted on the game forum in her video!"

Just then, Long Aojiao's surprised voice suddenly rang out. Pointing incredulously at the two blood-stained swords in Zhou Ke'er's hands, she exclaimed, "I remember getting this one from the Sword Tomb, and this one inexplicably appeared in her hands in the snow..."

Wait, that module just ended, right? How come you've already seen it?! Were you waiting for that video series to continue?! Were you watching it like a TV drama or anime?! Well, I'm sorry, that module was already the last episode!

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but secretly complain to herself.

"...Hey, by the way, can we have the same nickname in this game?"

Long Aojiao couldn't help but press for an answer.

"Of course not, otherwise why would I stay up all night just to time the game and grab this nickname?"

Upon hearing this, Dio immediately and instinctively answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Then, he realized what he meant and exclaimed in surprise, "What? Do you mean this guy is actually a player?! Impossible, he's clearly an NPC from the main world!"

"So why can't we retreat to a safe place first before spouting this nonsense?!"

Zhou Ke'er angrily shook the sword in her hand. Although the blood would slide off the blade without sticking because of its material, it wouldn't stick to her hand. Her palm was covered in the monster's splattered blood and was very slippery. "If you don't leave, I'm going to slip away first."

Without hesitation, Zhou Ke'er put one of the two swords in her hand into her backpack, and with the [Azure Trace Sword] in hand, she turned around and rushed towards the city wall. After all, he was just saying it casually. If he really wanted to leave them behind, he would have already used teleportation to escape.

Dior and Long Aojiao exchanged a glance and quickly followed Zhou Ke'er.

"Okay! I understand!"

While running, Long Aojiao suddenly announced as if she had discovered a new continent: "Actually, the truth is this... Zhou Ke'er is actually a female player, but she can disguise herself as someone else through some skill or item. And the person she disguises herself as happens to be the NPC you saw in the module before!"
