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

Zhou Ke'er looked at Jin Yi with an inscrutable expression for two seconds, which made Jin Yi feel a little uneasy. He then nodded and said, "Let me see."

As she spoke, Zhou Ke'er raised her right hand, rolled up her sleeve, tucked it into her wrist, and held it up to her eyes to examine it intently.

"What are you looking at? You don't have a watch."

Seeing this, Jin Yi couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"You know I don't have a watch! So why are you asking me the time?"

Zhou Ke'er lowered her hand and rolled her eyes at Jin Yi.

"I..."

Jin Yi was completely bewildered and immediately wanted to retort, but was stopped by Zhi Jian Sha. "Now is not the time to argue, is it? Why don't we complete the task first, and then we can add each other as friends and argue later?"

"Tch...who would want to add this guy as a friend?"

Jin Yi muttered something under his breath, but did nothing more.

"I want to."

Upon hearing this, Shi leaned closer and whispered her reply.

"..."

"Alright, let's go in and find out what's going on."

Zhou Ke'er ignored all of that and went straight to the doorknob.

"Aren't we being a little more careful? Isn't it too reckless to just open the door like that?"

Sand between Fingers frowned and asked.

"No need. In this situation, is there any better way than just opening the door? There isn't."

Zhou Ke'er gave a casual reply and then pushed open the door—which was surprisingly unlocked.

As soon as everyone entered, they were greeted by a shocking scene.

A person dressed in a white coat, looking like a doctor, sat behind a table. The computer on the table faintly emitted the sound of "The first Crown Casino is now online," while the person's hands were moving around under the table.

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

7. Shut up! This isn't pornography!

"The crowd pushed open the door and entered, only to be met with such an indecent scene. They all covered their eyes in shame and indignation. Only Jin Yi Ye Xing, upon seeing this, became even more excited and immediately reached for his crotch..."

A deep, muffled voice spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Jin Yi, especially at his hands.

"Hey! Don't pretend to be a system narrator, you jerk! Even if you're pretending, don't portray me like that!"

Jin Yi was stunned for a second, staring blankly at her hand. When she realized it wasn't moving, she reacted and shouted fiercely at Zhou Ke'er.

"Ding! Player 'Jinyi Yexing' has been kicked out of the group chat due to their harsh words."

Zhou Ke'er covered her ears, looking like she was saying "I don't want to hear it," and continued to read in a monotone tone, mimicking the system.

Who are you? Why didn't you knock?

The doctor was initially confused and didn't understand the situation for a moment, but he quickly realized what was going on and scolded Zhou Ke'er in a panic, "At this hour, why aren't you, a caregiver, making your rounds? What are you doing here?"

Zhou Ke'er looked at the person and waited for a while, but the expected system notification did not sound.

"Okay, it seems this idea won't work. Hmm, maybe this guy thinks I'm crazy?"

Zhou Ke'er shrugged, not answering the man's question, muttering indistinct words, and walked straight up to grab the man's collar, pulling him up. "Oh, so arrogant, huh? Looks like you're pretty brave, huh?"

"Grumpy"

Then, a sound was heard as something fell to the ground and rolled away.

Sand between her fingers crouched down and picked up the thing. "Is this... an apple? Or is it half-peeled?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ke'er leaned forward and glanced at the person's hand hidden under the table—thankfully, it wasn't a fruit knife, just a peeler.

Wait a minute? Isn't something wrong?

"What do you want to do! You...you...don't hit me!"

The man raised his hands in terror to surrender, and as he opened them, the peeler fell to the ground with a "thud".

"You... late at night, sneaking out alone in a small room, with your hands down there, just to peel an apple?"

Zhou Ke'er stared at the man in shock, glancing at the computer screen before becoming even more astonished. "He's watching the news broadcast about peeling an apple?"

That's right, the computer screen was showing news about the raid on a certain "Crown Casino," and the name of the ringleader was scrolling through, something like 91 something something.

We dare not ask, we dare not say.

"You're all alone in your room late at night, peeling an apple and reading the news?"

Zhou Ke'er repeated what she had just said with a complicated expression, "Are you mentally ill?"

Just as Zhou Ke'er finished speaking, a system notification sounded.

[Bonus Task: Determine if any staff member at the mental hospital is mentally ill. Reward: 5 Sanity Points (stackable) - Completed (1 time)]

"What the heck??? Is this really going to be done so hastily?"

Zhou Ke'er was shocked again, her body trembled, and then she felt that everything was meaningless. "Then wouldn't I be able to make a fortune if I just grabbed someone and called them a lunatic?"

"What exactly do you want?!"

The man, with a mournful face, asked timidly, "I'm very poor, really!"

"It's simple, um... do you think he's sick?"

Zhou Ke'er casually pointed to the brocade robe.

"Wearing a hospital gown, there is..."

The man was about to answer, but after glancing at Zhou Ke'er, he immediately changed his tune, "No, no, no! He's not sick!"

"Hmm... How is it? Will it work?"

Zhou Ke'er nodded and asked Jin Yi.

"No, there is no completion message."

Jin Yi waited for a while, then shook his head and said.

"Is that not allowed?"

Zhou Ke'er released the man and began to ponder, stroking her chin.

Where is the archives?

Seeing that Zhou Ke'er didn't continue speaking, Zhijiansha stepped forward and asked the man.

"It's...it's on the sixth floor. What are you going to the archives for? It's full of old paper documents; the ones from the last few years are all recorded on computers."

The man answered, trembling.

"Um...can you view the files here?"

Finger Sand frowned, then asked.

"Yes...yes, that's fine."

The man shrank back and answered shakily.

“Very good. Check the files for ‘Sand Between Fingers,’ ‘Wearing Brocade at Night,’ ‘Zhou Ke’er,’ and ‘The Shi Family’s Lion-Eating History.’”

Finger Sand stepped forward and stood behind the man, gesturing for him to look up the files.

The man quickly sat down and began searching through the files of the individuals between his fingers and the others.

Seeing Zhou Ke'er standing aside thinking, while Zhijiansha was monitoring the person investigating the files, Shi Shi noticed that he and Jin Yi were doing nothing. Out of boredom, he began to harass Jin Yi relentlessly.

As for what exactly was said, I won't go into details here. It was something like a magic technique that could turn one minute into 59 seconds? We dare not ask, and we dare not say.

"Found it...found it."

Soon after, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

He uttered a half-hearted word of gratitude through his fingers, then delivered a chop to the back of the man's neck.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

The man cried out in pain, startled, and jumped up, shouting a question. Then, as if remembering something, he quickly reached under the table and pressed something.

Then, the faint sound of an alarm could be heard outside.

"Strange, is it because I'm not strong enough? I should definitely use more force."

Sand between his fingers looked at his hands and muttered to himself.

"No, your method is wrong."

Zhou Ke'er, seemingly snapping out of her daze, walked behind the man and earnestly explained to Zhijiansha, "The idea of ​​striking the back of the neck with a karate chop is actually a misconception. The correct way to do it is like this."

Before the man could react, Zhou Ke'er chopped at his side of the neck with a hand chop, and then said eloquently, "Strike the side of the neck hard to compress the carotid artery and cause carotid sinus syncope. That's the correct way. Slashing the back of the neck hard not only makes it difficult to stun the opponent, but you might also accidentally kill them by using too much force."

The poor doctor, under Zhou Ke'er's karate chop, rolled his eyes back and fainted.

"Oh, right, according to the standards, only middle-aged and elderly people with an average age of over 40 and weak constitutions are likely to faint due to this mild blood supply deficiency."

Zhou Ke'er thought for a moment, looked at the doctor with pity, and added, "This person... probably has a very poor constitution, possibly from masturbating too much."

In other words, the kind of scene often seen in movies where the protagonist swiftly and stylishly knocks out the enemy with a single chop is actually nonexistent.

So, the real battle scene would probably be like this: the protagonist, with a righteous look on his face, rushes into the enemy's lair and is surrounded by "underlings" whose average age is over 40. The protagonist is as light as a feather and darts behind one "underling" after another, slashing their necks one by one. If he encounters some with good physique, he might even get a few more slashes.

"Uh... thank you for the explanation?"

Looking at Zhou Ke'er, who was talking animatedly and fluently, Zhijiansha tentatively asked.

"You're welcome. It's what we doctors should do."

Zhou Ke'er crossed her arms and smiled smugly.

"Psychiatrist".

The sand between her fingers whispered, "That's the truth."
