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

The tall, thin man looked relieved, stretched out his hand and waved it towards the sky, and the towering ocean vanished in an instant. "I'll help you pass this module, okay? It's a deal then."

"Um...."

Looking at the sky that had suddenly become crystal clear, Zhou Ke'er cursed "authority-hungry dog" inwardly, but she didn't show it on the surface. Instead, she smiled sweetly and said, "Ah, thank you very much."

"It was nothing. Well... now that the problem is solved, then... goodbye."

The tall, thin man smiled and waved to Zhou Ke'er before turning and walking back into the crevice.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

The sulking silver-haired girl quickly caught up with the tall, thin man, complaining with a disgruntled look, "This guy is so boring, I should have never come."

The tall, thin man didn't reply, and the girl ignored him, continuing, "Honestly... there were so many interesting guys before, but it's all my fault for messing things up and killing them all..."

Sigh, I'm reminded of that toy named Chen Tian again. That guy always looked so shocked and terrified whenever he saw me, it was so funny... Look at toys these days, each generation is worse than the last.

"How can this be the same? Those people before had all heard of you and knew something about you and the original body, but these people don't know anything about you."

The tall, thin man replied helplessly, but his voice grew increasingly muffled as the crack gradually closed, "Besides, the one who ordered the erasure of that game's record was...."

As the crack closed, time resumed its flow.

"Huh? What... just happened?"

Cold-cooked Rabbit stared at the sky in bewilderment. Just a moment ago, there were towering waves, but now the sky was suddenly clear and blue.

"I don't know...it must have been Zhou Ke'er who did it."

A strange look flashed in Honghe's eyes, but in the end she shook her head with a blank expression.

"Zhou Ke'er? Hmm? What's wrong? What just happened?"

Cold Rabbit turned to Zhou Ke'er and asked, only to find that the girl was stunned for some reason, staring blankly at something in a daze.

It took several calls for Zhou Ke'er to come to her senses.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Zhou Ke'er, looking as if she had just woken up, asked Cold Eat Rabbit.

"Where's the sea? Such a big sea!"

Cold-cooked Rabbit pointed to the sky in confusion and asked.

"Oh, I summoned God, and then the sea was taken back."

Zhou Ke'er waved her hand absentmindedly and replied (perfunctorily).

"??? Wait, wait, what the hell is this about summoning God?"

Cold-cooked Rabbit was completely dumbfounded. They were clearly acting together, so where did this guy secretly go to tutoring classes? Summoning God? Is that even human? If he could summon God, why didn't he do it already?!

And aren't you a cultist?! A cultist who summons the Deep Ones and those monsters! How come you can suddenly summon God?!

What?! A double agent?!

The cold-cooked rabbit had a bellyful of complaints, but couldn't get them out, and its face turned red from holding it in.

But before she could say anything more, the system notification sounded.

The final crisis has been averted.

[All players have completed the main quest.]

The module is complete.

[Module is currently being processed for payment]

Exiting the module

An endless black mist surged up and engulfed Zhou Ke'er. Zhou Ke'er felt a cool chill lingering around her, and for some reason, being in this eerie-looking black mist gave her a strange sense of security.

"Is it...Chen Tian again?"

Zhou Ke'er didn't know where to look, but she felt as if an invisible hand was secretly pushing things along. She could only sigh softly, "It seems that even if I want to escape... it's too late..."

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

71. A true bro is one who goes to great lengths to prevent the other person from finding a partner!

After the module settlement, Zhou Ke'er glanced at the time and realized it was already noon, so she quickly logged off to prepare lunch.

"ha..."

Taking off her gaming bracelet, Zhou Ke'er shook her head, yawned, and walked towards the kitchen, muttering to herself, "Hmm... what should I have for lunch today? There's definitely no time to cook rice. Oh well, I'll just make a bowl of noodles..."

"Ding Dong"

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Zhou Ke'er scratched her head, turned and walked towards the door, wondering, "At this time... who could it be? Did Xu Qingming or Chen Tian leave something here with me?"

However, even though she was thinking this, Zhou Ke'er was too lazy to look through the peephole to see who was coming, and simply reached out and opened the door.

"Hey! You're actually home!"

A surprised voice rang out.

"...You didn't even know if I was home before knocking on the door?"

Zhou Ke'er stared at the guy outside the door, momentarily stunned, before asking helplessly, "And... why are you dressed like this?! Have you finally decided to defy the world's gaze and unleash your true nature?!"

This guy showed up, and... not only did he wear a wig and makeup, but he also wore a tutu that looked like it was bursting with girlish charm. The worst part was... he even spoke in a sickeningly sweet voice!

That's right... this guy is actually a man, but he's been secretly wearing women's clothes for a long time, and... ever since Zhou Ke'er caught him, it's like he's broken some kind of restriction and started to act recklessly!

"Hey! What do you mean by this? I dressed like this all for you!"

Lin Wen spoke in a sweet, cloying voice, looking aggrieved, poking at each other with her two index fingers, and occasionally glancing furtively behind Zhou Ke'er.

"...Come on, you're so annoying!"

Zhou Ke'er reached out to remove Lin Wen's wig.

"Hey! You can bleed and cut off your head, but you can't mess up your hairstyle, right? You've really gone too far!"

Lin Wen quickly dodged away, covered her head with her hands, and complained with tears in her eyes.

"..."

Zhou Ke'er took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the bulging veins on her forehead. If it were a normal person... oh no, a normal person would never do such a thing. If anyone else did this in front of Zhou Ke'er, as a seasoned cynic and mentally ill (doctor), Zhou Ke'er could definitely roast that guy until he vomited blood. When it comes to disgusting people and messing with their mentality, Zhou Ke'er has never been afraid.

Besides this guy...

This guy definitely has a problem with his thought process. Zhou Ke'er had already tried it; speaking to him in a sarcastic tone only made him happier, and he'd even get excited...

And if you were to feign madness or mental illness with him... you might not believe it, but Zhou Ke'er was completely outmatched by this guy in that regard...

Natural counter! This is their nemesis!

"So, what exactly are you here for? And... how did you know I was home?"

Zhou Ke'er was too lazy to ask him why he was dressed like that. "Also... you don't need to peek inside anymore. There's no one else inside, and nothing strange."

"No one else?"

Lin Wen was taken aback upon hearing this, then bent down and crawled under Zhou Ke'er's arm. After looking around, he exclaimed in surprise, "There really is no one here! How could this be?"

"???"

Zhou Ke'er turned around helplessly. "You really came here to find someone? Please, we've known each other for so long, do you think there would be anyone you'd be interested in coming to my house? There's hardly anyone here, okay?"

"Wow, how could this be! I prepared for so long! Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to wear this outfit!"

Lin Wen glanced at Zhou Ke'er with a look of disappointment, but there was also a strange hint of secret joy mixed in.

"How long have you been preparing? What are you preparing?"

Zhou Ke'er closed the door casually and asked as she walked toward the kitchen.

As a seasoned cynic, his mental fortitude was naturally top-notch. How could such a minor incident possibly ruin Zhou Ke'er's mood? Of course, eating was more important in comparison.

"Of course, it's a plan whose full name is 'Pretending to be Zhou Ke'er's Girlfriend and Catching Her in the Act: A Major Operation to Prevent Zhou Ke'er from Getting a Partner!'"

Lin Wen answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"???"

Zhou Ke'er's hand trembled, and she almost lost her grip on the pot handle.

Damn it, although Zhou Ke'er had been diligently studying the psychological journey of a mental patient in order to be able to fight this guy, and had even conducted "clinical experiments," successfully breaking the minds of many people (such as Jin Yi Ye Xing and Leng Chi Tu), but...

I never expected to be completely powerless against this guy! He's absolutely awe-inspiring!

So what exactly is this "Great Operation" thing?!

"What the heck? No... If you want to implement this plan, first you need to help me find a chance to get out of being single."

Zhou Ke'er involuntarily revealed her dead fish-like eyes, and asked listlessly, "Why would you want to stop something that doesn't exist..."

"Huh? But... I heard from Hu Tao that you didn't even go to work today. You took the day off and ran off with a pretty female patient."

Lin Wen scratched the back of his head, tilted his head, and replied, "...Was I too late? Only four hours have passed since I received this message! Could you have arrived so quickly?"

"Hey! Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the adjective 'fast'? What do you mean by 'only four hours'?!"

Zhou Ke'er successfully grasped the wrong key point.

"Oh! You admitted it! So you brought a pretty female patient home! That's outrageous! Waaah, I'm here for you, how could you do something so shameless?"

Lin Wen made a tearful face and said.

"...That guy, Jiazi! He actually went around spreading this kind of nonsense, and not only that, but Lin Wen found out too..."

Zhou Ke'er gritted her teeth inwardly, deciding to make things difficult for Hu Tao in a while.

No one can offend Zhou Ke'er! No one! Lin Wen is not human!

"So... you dressed like this to stop me from finding a boyfriend? And to create a scumbag image for me?"

Zhou Ke'er's eye twitched involuntarily.

"Yeah, yeah. But I didn't expect you to be so quick. Humph, you really are a scumbag!"

Lin Wen sat obediently on the sofa in the living room and nodded in response.

Luckily, Zhou Ke'er couldn't see him from the kitchen, otherwise she would definitely have dumped the bowl of noodles she had just cooked on his head.
