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

[Skill activated, consuming 4% of player "Zhou Ke'er's" sanity]

[Target to be investigated: Player "Red Crane"]

Target Status:

Stamina: 20%

Sanity level: 75%

debuff: "Minor bleeding" "Multiple abrasions"

[Note: The penetrating wound on the lower abdomen has scabbed over, with only a small amount of blood still oozing out. Aside from low stamina, there are no major problems, but it seems the individual has suffered some kind of psychological attack.]

Wow... It's still Red Crane, the real deal... It's not what Zhou Ke'er thought, that this guy was someone else in disguise... Speaking of which, did the mental attack reduce his sanity by 25%?

Does this module contain any methods that directly damage sanity?

Zhou Ke'er didn't rush to ask Honghe.

He's still being monitored by that module boss and doesn't dare to make any rash moves.

"I see. By the way... you just said that eyeball is a key prop? What did you mean by that?"

Zhou Ke'er pretended to believe Honghe's story and changed the subject by asking a question.

"When we were escaping earlier, we were stopped by a door, and there were two round grooves on the door. It looked like we had to put something in them to open it."

Flamingo explained expressionlessly, "However, we haven't been able to find it. Now it seems that you took it. It must be this eyeball."

"By the way... when you ran away, didn't you try to look for the Sand Between Your Fingers?"

Zhou Ke'er frowned. Judging from Honghe's words, they not only escaped, but also escaped for a long time... They even encountered a door that blocked the subsequent plot, but why didn't they go to find Zhijiansha?

That's a bit strange.

"I went to look for it."

Honghe paused for a moment, then explained, "But... when we got there, the room was empty. We don't know where the sand between our fingers went."

"I wonder where they went?"

Zhou Ke'er touched her chin, pondering silently.

Could it be that Zhijian Sha heard the noise and ran out to check, just in time to miss the fleeing Honghe and the others? That's why the two groups can't find each other now?

Tsk...

Zhou Ke'er sighed and said helplessly, "Could you give me a full view of the map? Otherwise, I can't plan the next part of the story."

"...This...won't work."

The man's hesitant voice came through.

Tsk, there's definitely something wrong... They said they'd let Zhou Ke'er do whatever she wanted and would help her, but they didn't even open up any vision.

They're definitely plotting something in secret.

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but grit her teeth.

What were you just saying?

Upon hearing this, Honghe turned to Zhou Ke'er and asked.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm the mastermind behind all this. I planned all of this. Now I'm going to open up the whole map, find the location of Finger Sand, and then go and take her out in one fell swoop."

Zhou Ke'er shrugged and explained in a serious tone.

98. I Am an Actor (Part 4)

"...Oh."

Honghe glanced at Zhou Ke'er.

"no."

Zhou Ke'er replied with a single word for no apparent reason.

"???"

Honghe's expressionless face showed a bewildered look.

"Frankenstein is dead, isn't he?"

Zhou Ke'er coughed twice, as if just asking casually to change the subject.

Don't think this is just empty talk.

Are you deaf?

Honghe glanced at Zhou Ke'er but did not give a direct answer.

interesting...

Zhou Ke'er's lips curled up imperceptibly, and she said shamelessly, "Yeah, yeah, it's because I'm using full map view. There's no way around it, the map is too big, and the CPU is overloaded, so I can't see clearly from here. I can only ask you."

"..."

Honghe looked at Zhou Ke'er with the kind of pitying gaze one might give someone with intellectual disabilities, "Your neck is twisted like a pretzel, do you think you're dead or not?"

...

If a teammate dies, there will be a system notification, little Red Crane.

Zhou Ke'er silently muttered a complaint in her mind, then casually tossed a "Let me see" message at Fran's corpse lying there.

Hey, to be honest, when I first got this skill, I thought it was pretty useless, but after using it for a while, I realized that having a few Appraisal spells on hand is actually quite enjoyable.

The best muddy iron duck!

[Skill activated, consuming 3% of player "Zhou Ke'er's" sanity]

[Target of Investigation: Suspected player "Frankenstein"]

Target Status:

Stamina: NAN

Sanity value: NAN

debuff: "Broken neck"

[Note: It looks like the corpse of the player "Frankenstein," but no stamina or sanity can be detected. Rather than a human body, this thing is more like a puppet disguised as one.]

[Final determination: This is not the corpse of player "Frankenstein".]

"Hmph... Hmph hmph hahaha! Hahahahahaha!"

Zhou Ke'er covered her face and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Interesting, so interesting!

The flamingo didn't tell him the truth.

Is there some hidden mission? Or is it simply a lack of trust in Zhou Ke'er? Do they think this Zhou Ke'er might be fake?

Or... were we fooled by that big boss?

Oh? Speaking of that guy...maybe...yes, that's possible.

After all, Flamingo possesses decent deductive reasoning skills, and it's possible she discovered the "truth" of her own death on her way there (of course, this so-called "truth" is still questionable). Thus, she too was summoned by the boss...

So she is actually under surveillance and can't tell Zhou Ke'er the truth.

Zhou Ke'er's mind immediately went blank.

Tsk... In that case, won't this mod just turn into a game of scheming and backstabbing between players again?

Honestly... Zhou Ke'er sometimes wants to play with the normal classic mods too.

So... how could we possibly let this happen!

Zhou Ke'er is going to muddy the waters!

(Although the truth may not be as Zhou Ke'er guessed, he doesn't care!)

He's just trying to cause trouble!

What are you laughing at?

Honghe looked at Zhou Ke'er, who had suddenly started having another episode, and couldn't help but sigh and ask.

Zhou Ke'er swiftly moved closer to Honghe, her face near his cheek. After a pause, she said in a deep voice, "It smells like a lie!"

He originally intended to stick out his tongue and lick it.

However, I found that I couldn't perform this action, probably because the game system prevented it.

Tsk, this joke isn't quite finished.

Honghe stiffened almost imperceptibly, then turned her head and squinted at Zhou Ke'er, "You seem to be doing something very rude. If this happened in the real world, you would be arrested by the police."

Oh, Detective Red Crane's eyes have sharpened!

"Oh dear, don't change the subject, Flamingo-chan~"

Zhou Ke'er took two steps back, her eyes narrowing with a smile. Although she was all smiles, a dangerous aura emanated from her: "Otherwise, you really will turn into a flamingo... sauce, oh~"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

Honghe tilted her head and squinted: "Finally couldn't resist making a move on your teammate? That's quite in line with your personality, I guess. It's kind of interesting."

"Oh, why make it sound so scary? It's just a figure of speech."

Zhou Ke'er looked at Honghe through her squinted eyelids (things were really blurry like that, and she couldn't understand how those squinty-eyed people could see clearly), "It's not fair of you to say that."

"Did you lose patience and stop because the main storyline was too confusing? Instead of completing the mission, did you choose to give up and eliminate your teammates?"

With a blank expression, Honghe read aloud each word in a monotone manner.

A complicated main questline? Is that because they assume everyone has the same quests... or is it... a code word? A hint?

Oh... speaking of which, Zhou Ke'er's main quest...

Ha, the main quests in this mod are completely unreliable. Where is there a boss who can manipulate the main quests at will?

It is indeed possible that the flamingo was deliberately giving a subtle hint under the restrictions.
