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

Wei Yang was not panicked, but he was puzzled by Zhou Ke'er's behavior and couldn't figure it out.

"Hehe~ Because I want to kill you when you're most confident, when you think you can never lose."

## Chapter 502, Section 497: The Chapter of Stealing Heaven (Sixteen)

Zhou Ke'er revealed a wicked smile, looking innocently at Wei Yang as she uttered such malicious words.

"I see, I understand now."

Wei Yang nodded, looking knowing. "Unfortunately, even with your keen observation, there's still one thing you haven't noticed."

"What is that? Let me think..."

Zhou Ke'er let out a soft "Eh," tilted her head, and blinked. "Could it be that you're saying this isn't actually part of the capital? I already figured that out."

As I've already said, the NPCs in this module were messing around with evil things in front of Zhou Ke'er. Regardless of how well they did it, they couldn't escape Zhou Ke'er's eyes. They couldn't possibly hide any tricks they wanted to pull with evil things.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yang narrowed his eyes. However, since his eyes were dark red, it was impossible to tell whether his pupils were dilating. His expression, however, became somewhat uncertain. "When did you figure that out?"

"Oh, I didn't realize that. I just guessed and wanted to test you. I didn't expect you to figure it out so easily. I feel so unsatisfied."

Zhou Ke'er told a lie with a grin—he actually sensed it when the so-called teleportation array was activated. It wasn't a spatial movement thing at all; there wasn't even the slightest spatial fluctuation. Don't take Zhou Ke'er's Godhood of Time and Space for granted!

"After all, secretly controlling such a small territory, as long as you control the upper echelons and the channels of communication with the outside world, especially in a society where communication is not well developed, the possibility of being exposed in a short period of time is still very low."

Seeing that Wei Yang did not speak, Zhou Ke'er continued on her own: "As for the turmoil in the capital, it is probably a case of falsehood and reality. There is indeed such a thing, but it should not have much to do with you."

I've deduced pretty much everything you've planned, but there's one crucial point I just can't figure out. Logically, if this point doesn't make sense, it should disprove all my guesses, but the problem is, all the other guesses have been confirmed. That leaves only one question: Why me? Why am I your target?

"It's very simple, very simple... Since you've already guessed so much, the reason you can't figure out this crucial point is because you're missing the most important piece of information."

Wei Yang's body was churning with black energy, while Ying Kuo, who was standing to the side, had long since collapsed to the ground, his fate unknown. "Your thinking is still too limited; you don't dare to make any bold guesses. For example... the main world."

Upon hearing these three words, a sudden realization flashed in Zhou Ke'er's eyes—in other words, Wei Yang's target was not the native "Zhou Ke'er" in this module, but the player "Zhou Ke'er" who had entered the module.

"What are you? How did you manage to get here from the main world? Is it really that easy for the main world and the secondary world to communicate with each other?"

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but ask curiously. He couldn't even move freely between the main world and the secondary world, and he still hadn't been able to reach the main city, yet this guy could already travel back and forth between the main world and the secondary world. Why not learn a trick here and see if he could fly directly to the main city next time?

"No, obviously, I can't. But I can do it by using the power of the Underworld. As the place of rest for the dead that is used in almost all sub-worlds and the main world, except for a few very special sub-worlds, all other worlds have a passage to the Underworld."

Wei Yang showed no intention of suddenly launching a fierce attack on Zhou Ke'er. Instead, he calmly explained to her, "Originally, these passages should have been heavily guarded, and someone of my level would have had no chance of escaping. But not long ago, a cultivator from the next world, who was ridiculously strong, wreaked havoc in the Underworld. Fortunately, one of the passages was temporarily unguarded, so I escaped from there."

Hearing this, Zhou Ke'er's lips twitched involuntarily. Good heavens, he was the one who indirectly caused this module? Truly worthy of being called him.

Goodness, is there even a choice? Of course, we continue.

but...

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but glance at Wei Yang with pity. It was obvious that everything this guy did was within the game system's expectations. They even made figuring out his true identity the main quest. They had created a module based on him!

"So what? You still haven't said what this has to do with me."

Zhou Ke'er suppressed her urge to mock the other person, lightly touched her lips with her fingertip, and revealed a hint of doubt.

"Because I want to go back to the main world."

Wei Yang shrugged and said very seriously, "If it weren't for the fact that this was the only path I could choose, I would definitely have escaped back to the main world. It's just a pity that I'm already here, so it's better than rotting away in the underworld. I had already convinced myself to stay obediently in this secondary world, but I didn't expect to run into you by such a coincidence—and it's obvious you're also from the main world. So tell me, can I not do something?"

"But I don't see the point of all those things you planned before."

Zhou Ke'er pursed her lips. Why does this guy talk so much? Why doesn't he just hurry up and do it? What's with all the babbling? The sooner we act, the sooner it'll be over.

“It was a test. My original plan was to take over your body, devour your consciousness, and then escape back to the main world as ‘you’. But clearly, it seems that this is impossible now.”

Wei Yang shook his head. "So, let's make a deal. You take me back to the main world, and I'll pay you accordingly."

"This is not an easy matter. Tell me what the payment is first? Can you give it to me now? Or can we exchange the money for the goods?"

Zhou Ke'er raised her eyebrows—preparing to do what she always did: take the money and do nothing. She'd take the payment first, then turn around and double the amount to chop this guy up.

After all, he's such a despicable person.

"...Not yet. I need to return to the main world, retrieve my belongings, and then I can report you..."

Wei Yang shook his head as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Before he could finish speaking, his head separated from his neck on its own and fell to the ground, putting on a show of "the corpse talking."

Appearing behind him, Zhou Ke'er flicked her dagger and pouted disdainfully, "Tsk, trying to get something for nothing? Does she really think I'm stupid?"

## Chapter 503, Section 498: The Chapter of Stealing Heaven (Seventeen)

"It's no use, you can't kill me like this."

Wei Yang's large, muscular head, which had rolled to the ground, spoke: "However, it seems your meaning is quite clear. You are unwilling to cooperate with me and do not intend to make this deal, is that right?"

"No. If there's absolutely no room for negotiation, then you're not just going to turn your head. I said I could kill you, and I can kill you; don't doubt that. I'm just warning you not to try anything funny. Going back to what I said, of course I can help you, but since you can't offer any reward, let me propose it. I want..."

Zhou Ke'er shook her head, looked at Wei Yang with a strange expression, and licked her lips. "I want you to be my dog."

After hearing the first part of the conversation, Wei Yang, who still felt there was room for negotiation, suddenly changed his expression when he heard Zhou Ke'er's last sentence. He angrily said, "Are you playing me?"

"Oh? So it seems you disagree?"

The character "壹" appeared in Zhou Ke'er's right double pupil, and she looked at Wei Yang with a cold gaze. "Then there's nothing we can do. What a pity. But it was somewhat expected—aren't you surprised why I suddenly wanted to cut off your head?"

Indeed, even though he knew that beheading would be of no harm to Wei Yang—in fact, although the body would die as a result, as long as Wei Yang's evil nature remained on it, it would stay alive and he wouldn't be afraid of being beheaded or not.

"It's very simple. Although you still exist, all that's needed is for this body to die."

Zhou Ke'er didn't keep you in suspense for long, explaining immediately, "Sigh, I was just asking if you were willing to be my dog, but I was only doing it for your sake, hoping you'd agree so you could avoid all this suffering. You're offering me this good fortune and you won't take it?"

Zhou Ke'er's tone was filled with pity and...mockery, a twisted sense of humor.

Wei Yang's eyes widened. Although he still didn't know what Zhou Ke'er was planning, he instantly sensed an extremely dangerous aura. If things continued like this, he might really suffer at Zhou Ke'er's hands!

After all, his only advantage is playing on home turf, and his actual strength is not comparable to Zhou Ke'er's... But the other party seems to not care about this at all, which means that she has a means that can directly affect his body!

Therefore, Wei Yang immediately waved his hand, and a huge amount of black mist surged into the air. A portion of it rushed towards Zhou Ke'er, but its main purpose was only to block her. The majority of it was to carry Wei Yang away, preparing to take him away immediately.

"The Immortal Sand Resurrection Talisman".

Zhou Ke'er completely ignored the approaching evil spirits, since they posed no threat to him anyway. Instead, she unhesitatingly activated the first volume of the "Seven Chapters of the Mysterious Monarch's Secret Scripture." With two fingers of her right hand together, she drew upon the evil spirits within her body, instantly creating obscure and complex runes in the air in front of her. The runes then pierced through the black mist with remarkable precision and struck Wei Yang.

When Wei Yang saw a rune of unknown purpose strike him, he was so frightened that he almost destroyed his body and fled—after all, his existence did not necessarily depend on this body, but for ease of control, he still modified his soul to be very compatible with this body, so he still had to destroy his body to completely free his existence—but then, he quickly realized... this rune doesn't have any offensive or lethal power.

He didn't explode immediately, nor was he imprisoned. None of the expected damage befell him—it was incredibly strange. He even felt... the talisman's power was very gentle, and it was even healing his wounds? His head, which had fallen to the ground, was also pulled by the talisman's power, wobbling and flying up before being reattached to his neck.

But it's impossible that Zhou Ke'er picked up the wrong talisman, right? Even a fool could easily rule out that possibility...

There's only one outcome! Zhou Ke'er saw that he was deliberately adjusting his soul's compatibility in order to control this body, so... repairing this body is imprisoning his soul!

Wei Yang suddenly felt incredibly clever, instantly understanding Zhou Ke'er's true intentions. Without a second thought, he immediately self-destructed, preparing to make a hasty escape.

"boom!"

A muffled explosion was heard, and then Wei Yang's body exploded into pieces, with fragments flying everywhere—no, not at all.

Even though his body was torn to pieces by the self-destruction, it was completely bound by the power of the talisman and was not affected at all. Even the damage caused by the explosion was rapidly healed under the effect of the talisman—no, the effect of this talisman is too strong! This is a resurrection spell!

But Wei Yang quickly calmed down and slowly said, "I know what your intention is... Using this kind of talisman to revive the dead to imprison my soul in this body can indeed prevent me from leaving here, it is indeed a miraculous method... But, it also shows that you can't just kill me directly!"

Zhou Ke'er raised her eyebrows, looking at Wei Yang's serious and composed demeanor, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She chuckled uncontrollably, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by confining you here... What are you thinking? It's really funny. Didn't I already say that I just want you to be my dog?"

As she spoke, Zhou Ke'er glanced at the skill effects of the first chapter of the "Seven Chapters of the Mysterious Monarch's Secret Scripture":

【Special Effect 1: Immortal Sand Resurrection Talisman】

[Note: It can consume an equal amount of evil energy to revive a dead being.]

If the deceased still possesses a soul, then a portion of the deceased's sanity after resurrection will be converted into an equal amount of malevolence. When the malevolence of a certain target reaches a certain level, it will lose its sanity and become your follower.

If the deceased no longer has a soul, an empty shell of the deceased will be summoned directly. This empty shell only possesses endless bloodlust, and you cannot control its existence.

Your current maximum number of dependents: 01

This skill is practically perfect for the guy in front of me.

First, it consumes an equal amount of evil energy—the opponent's amount of evil energy is not as much as Zhou Ke'er's, so it is still within a tolerable range.

Secondly, the original soul of this body has been erased, and since Wei Yang deliberately adapted his soul to this body, it means that the soul adaptor of this body can only be Wei Yang. Therefore, the soul that Zhou Ke'er points to after resurrecting this body... is Wei Yang.

In addition, he was originally a bunch of evil beings, so where would he get any rationality... Obviously, after being resurrected, the evil beings he carried would definitely reach the required level directly - in this way, Wei Yang would naturally become Zhou Ke'er's subordinate by force.

Having confirmed this, Zhou Ke'er smiled with a charming and pleased expression. She casually used her evil power to create a chair made of black mist floating in the air behind her. Zhou Ke'er sat down leisurely, crossed her legs, and looked at Wei Yang with great interest.

## Chapter 504, Section 499: The Chapter of Stealing Heaven (End)

Wei Yang's body, covered in cracks and bloodstains, looked extremely ferocious and terrifying, yet it was rapidly repairing itself.

"Become a dog? What...do you mean?!"

Wei Yang's eyes revealed a hint of shock and confusion. He couldn't understand what the resurrection technique for restoring the body had to do with turning him into Zhou Ke'er's dog. But seeing Zhou Ke'er's confident look, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Does that even need asking? I think I've explained it very accurately and clearly."

Zhou Ke'er beckoned with her finger, and Wei Yang flew toward her without restraint, then knelt down in front of Zhou Ke'er in a prostrate position—just so that Zhou Ke'er's feet could step on his head. "Why do you make me repeat myself so many times? Or... do you actually like me talking to you like this? So you want me to say it a few more times? No problem, just say it, I'll grant your wish."

As she spoke, Zhou Ke'er gently patted Wei Yang's head with her foot—mainly to prevent his head from falling off, or she would have run him over.

"Ugh!"

Wei Yang, whose body was almost fully recovered, suddenly roared in pain. His wounds burst open again, spewing out large amounts of black mist. His eyes were almost bloodshot as he roared furiously, "What...what did you do to me?!"

"Stop making such a racket, it's really unbecoming. Can't you maintain some composure? To put on such a disgusting act even on your deathbed, what a pathetic end."

Zhou Ke'er then ruthlessly crushed Wei Yang's head with her foot, and sure enough, following the crack, she stomped his head off.
