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

Just then, Alex, who looked somewhat incredulous, walked up to Zhou Ke'er, and Zhou Ke'er sighed in a serious manner, like an old father.

"Uh...."

Alex looked at Zhou Ke'er, who had this appearance yet such an expression, and couldn't help but feel a sense of disorientation. Although it's true that many pantheons have androgynous gods, or even gods without a clearly defined gender... seeing it with his own eyes still gave him a rather peculiar feeling.

However, Alex's inability to speak does not mean Zhou Ke'er has nothing to say.

Wanting to escape her current situation, Zhou Ke'er naturally thought of Xing Jinqing, whom she had also met at the Divine Academy.

After all, it concerns some methods of manipulating souls by cultivators, so Alex of the Western pantheon probably wouldn't know much about it. But Xing Jinqing is a candidate deity of the Eastern pantheon, so he should be more involved and might have a way to help Zhou Ke'er.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ke'er stood up and, in a very familiar manner, put her arm around Alex's shoulder, acting like they were buddies. "Alex, we're pretty familiar with each other, right? How about we make a deal? Help us find Xing Jinqing from the Eastern pantheon who was with us before? Please."

While the aesthetics of gods in Eastern and Western pantheons may differ, Alex couldn't resist. His eyes immediately and irresistibly darted downwards. "Xing...Xing Jinqing, right? I'm not very familiar with him, but...he's quite famous in the Eastern pantheon. I'll take you there; you can probably find him by asking around..."

Before Alex could finish speaking, Zhou Ke'er grinned, revealing a smiling expression, and raised her hand with the wristwatch high, "Come on, smile."

Before Alex could even process what was being asked, he instinctively obeyed Zhou Ke'er's command, forcing a stiff smile.

"Click"

Actually, there was no sound; Zhou Ke'er added the sound effects specifically for the sake of creating a sense of ceremony during the photoshoot.

"Hey, how's this photo? Pretty good, right? Want me to send you a copy?"

Zhou Ke'er casually tossed her loose hair, winked at Alex, and asked with a smile, "Oh, by the way, I think this watch can also connect to the academy's internal communication platform. How about it, want to share it?"

Hey, what was that saying again?

To be honest, Zhou Ke'er wasn't particularly anxious about this situation. After all, who isn't someone who enjoys having fun? If it's interesting, there's nothing wrong with maintaining this state.

This way, we can make others feel awkward, which is quite interesting.

Especially when you look at Alex, he looks so embarrassed he could disappear into the ground.

Seeing him like this made Zhou Ke'er quite happy.

"This...maybe we shouldn't take this?"

Alex muttered something under his breath, sounding slightly embarrassed.

"What? The voice was too soft for me to hear. Okay? Then I'll send it."

Zhou Ke'er pretended not to hear clearly, then quickly sent the photos she had taken to Alex at close range. Before he could react, she reached out and operated Alex's watch.

Alex was completely bewildered by Zhou Ke'er. For a moment, he instinctively held his breath and froze on the spot, not even thinking of resisting, and Zhou Ke'er succeeded.

It turns out that as long as Zhou Ke'er takes the lead, she can definitely win over anyone.

"Look, it's all done now, and we can even add each other as friends."

After everything was settled, Zhou Ke'er immediately took two steps back, blinked, and smiled sweetly at Alex.

"Ah...this...um, I..."

Alex didn't know what was wrong with him. When he was in male mode with Zhou Ke'er, he was very friendly and familiar with her. Even though he knew that Zhou Ke'er might be related to some great beings, he just wanted to curry favor and get to know her. He didn't panic at all. But why did he become like this now?

"What's wrong? What are you standing there for? Let's go find Xing Jinqing."

Seeing Alex stammering and seemingly lost in thought, Zhou Ke'er moved closer to him and waved her hand in front of his face.

"oh oh."

Alex finally came to his senses, but after hearing Zhou Ke'er's words, he felt a little annoyed for some reason, and he didn't understand what was going on.

"Phew... Phew... We're finally here. Zhou Ke'er, where is she?"

Just then, Chen Tian finally arrived, slightly out of breath. He looked around but didn't see Zhou Ke'er as he had imagined. Instead, he saw two filthy lovers emanating a sour, stench. He couldn't help but mutter to himself in self-doubt, "Huh? Could I be mistaken? No way? There shouldn't be any mistake, right?"

"Hey! Isn't this Chen Tian? Haven't seen you for a few days, you've gotten so bloated?"

Just then, Zhou Ke'er naturally spotted Chen Tian immediately—after all, there weren't many people around, and anyone rushing over was easily spotted, even a deaf person could see them—so without thinking, she greeted Chen Tian.

"Who are you?"

Chen Tian was suddenly called out by the woman in his line of sight who was emitting a sour smell. He didn't react for a moment and asked in bewilderment.

"I'm Zhou..."

Zhou Ke'er instinctively wanted to answer, but then suddenly remembered that Alex was still there. He had clearly given a false name earlier, and she almost forgot. So she immediately changed her mind and said, "I'm Honghe, you forgot?"

"Flamingo???"

Chen Tian immediately gave Zhou Ke'er the look of an old man on the subway looking at his phone, scrutinizing her suspiciously for a moment before finally realizing—who else could this be but Zhou Ke'er?! "Good heavens, what are you doing here all of a sudden?"

"That's why I came to find you!"

Zhou Ke'er immediately made up some nonsense, then turned to Alex and said with a smile, "Okay, I didn't expect my friend to come pick me up. I was planning to surprise her, but she found out beforehand. What a pity, but thank you anyway. I'll be going now."

As she spoke, Zhou Ke'er patted Alex on the shoulder, then waved and ran towards Chen Tian.

## Chapter 475 470. Actually, it's not so bad.

"So what exactly is going on?"

As they walked, Chen Tian whispered to Zhou Ke'er, "When I first saw you like this, I really didn't recognize you at all."

He also muttered to himself, "And why do I have this weird sense of déjà vu..."

"Ugh, I got captured by a module boss, and they forced my soul into this body, which is why I'm like this now. I barely managed to escape here."

Zhou Ke'er immediately let out a long sigh and replied with great sorrow, "The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be! I never thought that everyone, even NPCs, would become so despicable. Is this a distortion of humanity or a decline in morality?"

"I think the culprit is most likely yourself..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tian subconsciously muttered something under his breath, then continued to ask, "So, what are you planning to do now? Although I think you should be looking for a way to get out of this situation, you seem to be in no hurry at all, and even quite enjoying it."

"There's really no rush. Anyway, it doesn't restrict my other skills or anything like that. It's just a change of appearance, so what's the rush? Besides, isn't this like having an extra layer of disguise? Even if I do something bad under this disguise, no one will know it was me. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Zhou Ke'er replied matter-of-factly, "Rather than solving this situation, I would prefer to have a way to control the switching of forms. Being forced to stay in this form all the time could lead to some tricky situations. If I could instantly switch back to my original form to escape a disaster, and then switch back afterward, that would be perfect."

"That makes a lot of sense, huh? How come I didn't realize that back then... I should have taken advantage of it. What a pity."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tian looked as if he had just realized something and nodded in agreement. He then continued to ask, "But you didn't seem to be doing anything serious just now. Instead, you were flirting with that guy... cough cough, having a lot of fun."

"You don't understand, do you? What's the point of 'serious business'? Things that make me have fun are serious business."

Zhou Ke'er chuckled and put her hand on Chen Tian's shoulder, whispering, "Look, isn't it super interesting to see someone looking so helpless and embarrassed? People should be able to find joy in any situation to make life interesting."

"Ah...that's true, I can tell you're that kind of person. Even if you die, I bet your soul will end up fishing with those mindless wandering ghosts by the River of Oblivion."

Chen Tian couldn't help but complain.

"Huh? A prophet? Hurry up and kill him! How did you know I just did that?"

Zhou Ke'er looked surprised and raised her eyebrows. "I did come from the underworld just now... By the way, where are we going?"

"Anyway, Chen Tian definitely doesn't want you to bother her; it would be awkward for both of you if you met. And it's almost time for class, so I'll take you to a class first. If you don't plan to attend the class, you can wander around on your own; I won't bother you."

Chen Tian shrugged. "I only sensed your divine power fluctuations suddenly appearing in the academy, so I rushed over to see if anything was wrong. Now it seems there's no problem, so it has nothing to do with me."

"Sensing my arrival and worrying that something might go wrong—that's incredibly rude! Really!"

Zhou Ke'er shamelessly complained, "But there's nothing wrong with going to a class. What kind of class is it?"

"An Overview of Advanced Development and Detailed Explanation of Basic Applications of the Divine Seal. This is an elective course in the Eastern pantheon."

Chen Tian thought for a moment and suddenly realized something: "Oh right, it seems you're not a priest of the Eastern pantheon... so you definitely don't have a divine seal, which means there's no point in you listening to this lesson."

"What is a divine seal?"

Zhou Ke'er was not ashamed to ask questions, demonstrating the good quality of asking questions when she didn't understand.

"It's a divine seal. Generally speaking, even in the Eastern pantheon, only the gods of the Heavenly Court lineage possess it. To be honest, compared to other pantheons, the system of obtaining divine power through a divine seal is indeed rather weak in some ways."

Chen Tian explained simply: "The fundamental reason for the formation of this pantheon was for the absolute leadership of the Heavenly Emperor. But now there is no Heavenly Emperor, so it basically has no impact."

"I see... Are there any courses on cultivation or immortality? I'll go and take some lessons."

Zhou Ke'er nodded.

"Clam?"

Chen Tian couldn't help but look at Zhou Ke'er with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot. "Those who can get into this academy are basically either gods or immortals. What's the point of cultivating immortality? Cultivate yourself?"

"Damn, that makes so much sense!"

Zhou Ke'er was shocked. "Chen Tian, ​​you're so smart! So this is your true intelligence?! It's terrifying!"

"Even though you sounded like you were praising me, I still felt like you were being sarcastic..."

Chen Tian rolled his eyes. "And with that look on your face, if you keep talking like that, your ability to annoy people will just skyrocket... Fast forward to that sarcastic fart, okay?"

"How could you say that to me? You're so mean! Waaaaa QAQ"

Zhou Ke'er put on a tearful, aggrieved expression and pretended to wipe away her tears as she spoke.

"you..."

"That's right, classmate. Even if you're friends, you can't go this far. Look, your friend is crying. Go apologize right now."

Before Chen Tian could say anything, a boy who hadn't heard the whole thing but only those few words seriously advised Chen Tian, ​​then secretly glanced at Zhou Ke'er again before slowly walking away.

Chen Tian covered his face helplessly and sighed, "Fine, you're something else. I'm going to class now. You can keep fishing for rich guys. I'm outta here."

"Hehe, goodbye then."

Zhou Ke'er's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. She immediately stopped crying and started laughing, waving at Chen Tian with a charming smile before walking away humming a little tune.

Although he didn't know where he was going, life isn't always about having a purpose, so wandering around aimlessly might lead to something interesting.

For example...

It hasn't been long since then, and we've already run into our target—Xing Jinqing.

But there's a girl with him, that won't do...

Zhou Ke'er narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. It was time for her to perform again.

Without a word, Zhou Ke'er immediately put on a sweet smile and walked briskly toward Xing Jinqing, waving to him as she said, "Isn't this Xing Jinqing? What a coincidence, I never thought I'd run into you here. What, do you remember me? We had such a great chat last time, it's just a pity I had to leave halfway through, you don't mind, do you?"

## Chapter 476, 471. A Battlefield of Cultivation...?

"I have racked my brains, but I really cannot recall ever seeing you before, young lady. I am truly sorry for my rudeness. However, please tell me when exactly this happened?"
