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

"Everyone, aren't there more important matters? We should be discussing this theoretically with logical thinking. Besides, implementing the plan using the current method is quite challenging. What should we do? Chu Chegan, do you have a feasible plan?"

I didn't steal the girl's imitation of Chu Chegan's mannerisms. I pushed up my non-existent glasses, first spouting some random nonsense, and then tossed the burden back to Chu Chegan.

"Yes, yes! That's right!"

Huai Jin Wo Yu thought that what I said about not stealing girls made a lot of sense, and quickly nodded in agreement.

Zhou Ke'er finally realized... these guys were all complete slackers. Luckily, he was the villain, his mission completely different from theirs. He was incredibly fortunate; encountering a real big shot would have been troublesome, but...

If it's this group of scoundrels, well, Zhou Ke'er feels she can just start acting recklessly. In a situation like this, not acting recklessly would be a disservice to Zhou Ke'er's name!

Thinking this through, Zhou Ke'er, who had made up her mind to leave the team and act alone, chuckled dryly three times, and then spoke a long string of words at a rapid pace:

"I don't want to be with a murderer! I'm going back to my room, I'm so scared! Let's split up! Huh? What's that sound over there? I have to go check it out! After I finish this, I'm going back to my hometown to get married! Don't worry everyone, I'll definitely come back alive! I have nothing to be afraid of anymore!"

After saying this, Zhou Ke'er took a few deep breaths, then left the stunned and bewildered crowd (except for Honghe), pushed open the door and ran outside.

Honghe instantly understood what Zhou Ke'er wanted to do.

"Huh, what's wrong with him? He's so strange! I have to go check on him (inhales). Don't worry about me, I'll be right back. I won't abandon my comrades! I will definitely find him!"

The flamingo, clearly not a very strong lung, forced itself to speak quickly, so fast that it didn't even have time to add punctuation.

After saying that, before anyone could react, she rushed over to chase after Zhou Ke'er.

A moment of silence fell over the room.

"What's going on? Two lunatics?"

Chu Chegan couldn't help but ask... If Zhou Ke'er were here, she would definitely correct his wording again: It's mental illness, not neurosis! These two are obviously different!

However, this is Zhou Ke'er's escape route... oh no, this is Zhou Ke'er's plan! She wants them to think that Zhou Ke'er is a complete lunatic!

If there's something wrong with a person, it will arouse suspicion from others... But if there's something wrong with this guy in every way, well, then others won't bother to suspect him.

"That's probably it... Never mind them, let's continue our discussion!"

"I didn't steal the girl," I waved my hand, looked at Chu Chegan, and emphasized.

"Okay... brothers, I'll stick with you. Good luck!"

Cold-cooked rabbit nodded in a cute little voice, even standing on tiptoe to cheer them on.

Chu Chegan and I were naturally very pleased that I hadn't stolen the girl, and they nodded vigorously, promising that they would definitely protect her.

"That's right, that's right!"

Huai Jin Wo Yu continued to assert his presence, even reversing the order of the two sentences!

------------

53. I am the murderer (Part 5)

"What are you trying to do? You came out and went back in so soon, and then came out again right after you went in?"

Honghe caught up with Zhou Ke'er and asked with a puzzled look.

Friend... what you said seems ambiguous...

Zhou Ke'er coughed twice and explained in a serious tone, "Because I realized that we don't actually need to work with them at all. Their goal is to find the real culprit, but our goal is to find the man in the black cloak."

Although the man in the black cloak will likely reappear after the real culprit is found, this would be putting the cart before the horse and is completely unnecessary.

"Oh? So you've already come up with a solution?...Wait, you're not going to say..."

Honghe stared with dead fish eyes, "You're going to pretend to be the murderer to lure that guy out, right?"

"Ahem, I definitely wouldn't do something so dangerous."

Zhou Ke'er waved his hand. Although he had indeed thought of this method at first, he quickly rejected it. After all, if the timing was wrong, it could really lead to sudden death.

"Wait a minute..."

Zhou Ke'er was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly put her index finger to her mouth, making a shushing gesture. Then she leaned over, pointed to a room to the side, and whispered to Honghe, "Go and see if anyone is in that room."

Although Honghe didn't know what Zhou Ke'er was planning to do, she still went to check on her immediately.

"No one was there, and the door wasn't locked. It seemed to be a meeting room or something."

The flamingo quickly turned around and answered.

"Nice!"

Zhou Ke'er nodded, gesturing for Honghe to go inside first.

About twenty seconds later.

"boom!"

Honghe, who was getting impatient waiting in the room, saw Zhou Ke'er grabbing someone with one hand and covering his mouth with the other, and then throwing that person in hard.

Honghe instinctively stepped forward and twisted the person's hands, then looked up at Zhou Ke'er: "Who is this? What's going on?"

Zhou Ke'er closed the door behind her and gestured towards the guy who had been thrown in. "Look, doesn't this guy look familiar? He's the little policeman who just called away that Chief of Police, Pulis. He just swaggered down this corridor like that, so I can't blame him."

"Ugh! Ugh!"

The young policeman struggled frantically, staring wide-eyed at Zhou Ke'er, bewildered as to why this was happening.

Zhou Ke'er walked to his side, squatted down, and gestured with her cane. "Oh, actually, although my actions were a little rough, I didn't mean to do anything to you. I just wanted to ask you a few simple questions."

Of course, to prevent you from refusing to cooperate, we have to treat you this way for now, which is a real shame. However, I believe you won't refuse to cooperate, right?

Zhou Ke'er gently stroked the tip of her cane across the young policeman's carotid artery on his neck and asked softly.

"Mmm! Mmm!"

The young policeman nodded frantically, indicating that he would absolutely obey.

"Okay, since you're cooperating so well, things will be much simpler."

Zhou Ke'er gestured for Honghe to release her hand from the little policeman's mouth, and then slowly asked, "What did you call Sheriff Pulis for? Where did you send him? Just two simple questions, don't disappoint me."

"Whoosh..."

The young policeman was panting, his eyes filled with fear and hesitation, as if he was debating whether to answer Zhou Ke'er.

"Oh dear, think about it... Red Crane and I are, after all, quite famous detectives... What if you accidentally anger us? Who knows, the news might somehow reveal things you absolutely don't want anyone to know, right?"

Zhou Ke'er fiddled with the cane in her hand and said softly, "Social death...do you know that term? If you want to try it, we'd be happy to oblige."

The young policeman stared wide-eyed at the nonchalant Zhou Ke'er, speechless for a moment, his face contorted in a conflicted expression.

"Look, you just stood here, in a place where no one else is, and muttered a few words to yourself. We couldn't hear anything... No one will know about this, and no one will blame or punish you for it..."

Besides, if you cooperate with us, we might have opportunities to work together in the future, right? Don't you want to solve more cases and get promoted? Just answer that, and it's all very simple.”

Zhou Ke'er blew on her nails, turned to look at the young policeman, and stared into his eyes: "However, you should know... our patience has its limits... If you insist on not cooperating, it seems you've already secured a headline in the next issue of the newspaper!"

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

The young policeman trembled and answered hastily, his voice trembling with tears.

"Hey, good boy. That's right."

Zhou Ke'er patted the young policeman on the head, "Go ahead and ask. It's just two very simple questions."

"The person looking for him...it was Deepvans. I don't know who he is, but Sheriff Pulis seemed to have a lot of respect for him! Sheriff Pulis was called to the conference room on the fifth floor by him!"

The young policeman answered quickly.

"Okay, thank you."

Zhou Ke'er patted the young policeman on the shoulder, signaling Honghe to let him go.

Honghe let go of her hand, and then she saw Zhou Ke'er make another gesture to her.

The young policeman sat up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"boom!"

Honghe sighed, reached out and pressed the back of the young policeman's head, who had a look of relief on his face, and then slammed him to the ground.

"Okay, I'm dizzy now."

Honghe dusted off her hands and, after confirming that the young policeman had lost consciousness, spoke to Zhou Ke'er.

"Alright, let's go check out that conference room on the fifth floor now."

Zhou Ke'er stood up and walked outside.

"Are we just going to leave this guy here? He's not too dizzy, he'll wake up soon."

Honghe followed Zhou Ke'er and casually asked.

"I'll just leave him here. I only knocked him out to prevent him from making a ruckus as soon as he goes out."

Zhou Ke'er waved her hand.

"I thought you were going to kill him."

Flamingo spoke terrifying words with a calm expression.

"There's no need for that. Being caught threatening someone is a minor issue; actually killing someone is a different matter entirely."

Zhou Ke'er shrugged and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, there's a question I asked before, but you didn't answer... Do you have facial paralysis? It's an illness, and it needs treatment. Although I'm just a psychiatrist, I know a doctor who specializes in treating facial paralysis..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the flamingo stopped and tilted its head to think for a while.

Seeing this, Zhou Ke'er looked at her in confusion.

Suddenly, she smiled at Zhou Ke'er, like the melting snow and ice when all things revive.

I knew it! A flamingo like that should smile more! Why does she always have such a poker face?

However, it only lasted for a moment before returning to its original state.

"Oh oh oh oh!"

Zhou Ke'er was so surprised that she could only say "Oh, oh, oh" and then she was speechless.

What just happened? Why did the art style suddenly change?! It's terrifying! The incongruity is like when the male and female protagonists in a shoujo manga are about to go all the way, and suddenly it switches to the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure style! And it's the art style from seasons two and three!

Who can stand this!

"You're asking me why I have no expression?"
