Herrscher of Reason's Arknights

As for income...

There are quite a few important figures in Longmen, and mental health care is highly valued among them. After all, this world is full of demons and monsters, and if you accidentally see something you shouldn't, being cursed and having your eyes bleed in the middle of the night is considered the lightest warning.

In more severe cases, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they go completely insane.

It sounds like a mage's job, but in this world called Terra, doctors are in some ways no different from mages.

A rumor, of unknown origin, states that the ocean race is skilled in mental abilities.

She is not only a psychiatrist from Ursus, but also, according to her passport, or so-called "official definition," is of Agorian ethnicity from Iberia.

So... she received an invitation from a big shot in Longmen, who wanted her to be his private mental health consultant.

And so, she arrived at Longmen.

As for the salary paid by the big shot, it's naturally enough to open a small clinic in the suburbs where land is cheap, and even if few people visit throughout the year, you can still save a lot of money.

It has to be said, having money is indeed a good thing.

The mysterious woman, codenamed yj, happily left after claiming that "Yelena's energy has been replenished," and conveniently paid for her next visit.

This place is indeed very wealthy, but there are also quite a few eccentric people here.

Is this guy a lolicon?

The clinic is not large, and it is inconspicuous in the narrow alley. If you don't push the door open and walk in, you would hardly know that it is a clinic.

But that's fine. Sodium chloride prefers a quiet life, doesn't want to compete with the world, doesn't want to be number one, and doesn't want to be the most conspicuous presence. Hiding in the streets and alleys is the best choice.

Unless you know the person well, no one will notice you or this clinic.

A peaceful life is like the life of a plant.

Sodium chloride dislikes excessive interaction with people, not because of Yelena's introverted personality, but simply because of... arrogance.

Being overly arrogant is like a person of high status who is self-disciplined and doesn't like to associate with lowly commoners.

However, in the eyes of sodium chloride, those high-ranking officials and nobles were nothing more than a bunch of ants.

Therefore, she doesn't like interacting with people.

However, humans are social animals; it's not that if you don't cause trouble, you won't get involved in other people's affairs, for example—

"Wow, there's actually a clinic here. I almost missed it."

The person who pushed open the door was a very noisy young man who looked like a filmmaker.

He looked to be in his early twenties, and there were several other people of similar age following behind him.

A petty thug, huh?

This is the outskirts of Longmen. The closer to the center, the better the security, and of course, the more expensive the land.

Although sodium chloride doesn't care about money, the closer to the center, the noisier it gets. That level of noise is a disaster for someone like sodium chloride.

"Oh ho ho, it's actually a female doctor. Hey, I'm saying, isn't this an unlicensed clinic?"

The leader of the gang had his hands in his pockets, the earrings on his ears gleaming, and he was dressed in a ragtag outfit.

If you don't need your eyes, you can donate them to someone in need. Which of your dog eyes could tell this is a shady clinic?

Of course, you can't entirely blame him for his interpretation. After all, he's already a petty thug who's fallen that low, so it's understandable to be lenient with him. You can't argue with a dog.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question! Do you even know whose territory this is, daring to open a clinic here!"

"Show some respect to your older sister."

That was a warning from Yelena.

Although introverted, once the young animals have sharpened their teeth, they will also show their fangs to other members of their kind.

After all, only when a child grows teeth can it have its own status. This is true for wild animals and even more so for humans. In the eyes of sodium chloride, there is no difference between humans and wild animals.

Hmm... a more advanced beast.

Without shouting loudly, Little Yelena still lacked confidence, but that was enough. Whether she was being trained as a tool or a protagonist, combat strength was the top priority.

After all, for a villain like sodium chloride who relies on fighting, being able to fight is the primary requirement; being able to fight and trip someone up is an added bonus.

After all, if she's the protagonist, she needs to be able to fight to survive to the end of the story and then have a final battle with herself, the villain behind the scenes. Even if she inevitably tries to hold back after she's drawn enough hatred to run away, the premise is that she has to be qualified to defeat her even if she holds back.

If you can't even beat this, you might as well just die; you're really too weak.

As for lacking confidence, that confidence will gradually come in future battles.

"Oh dear, there's even a little kid here. Kids shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking."

The man completely ignored the child's warnings and headed straight for him.

"Ugh."

The girl sighed. "You have a path to heaven but choose not to take it; you have no gate to hell but choose to barge in."

Sodium Chloride was already considering whether it would be better to break a few of his ribs. After all, this was Lungmen. Although murder was not so easy to deal with, if you were going to kill someone, you had to kill them all and silence everyone who knew about it so that the police would have no record of it.

But that would be troublesome, and sodium chloride hates trouble, so we need to make these barking dogs back down.

If you beat the dog until it hurts, it will naturally stop causing trouble.

However, the man's henchmen whispered a few words to the man in the lead.

The man suddenly changed his mind.

"Hey little girl, want to come play in our gang? We're the biggest gang around here, we have everything, it's way more fun than here. Want to come with me?"

The man then grabbed Yelena's sleeve.

The henchmen behind him were also laughing.

It seemed they intended to drag the girl away by force.

Yelena was instructed by Sodium Chloride not to act rashly, because Sodium Chloride could handle most things on its own.

But today... as I said before, confidence comes with practice.

"Yelena..."

The girl picked up her teacup, blew on it slightly to cool it, and then said, seemingly losing interest.

"see a visitor out."

As if he had pressed some incredible button, the man felt the world spinning around him in an instant!

He continued spinning, and by the time he realized what was happening, his back had already made intimate contact with the ground outside the clinic.

After a cloud of dust rose, the man's henchmen all stared blankly at what had just happened, unable to believe their eyes.

That little white-haired girl just...

Was it thrown out?

P.S.: I was so engrossed in playing games that I completely forgot about posting! [Shocked face] Luckily, I remembered before bed.

Section 41 [Life is like a fxxx movie]

Close-quarters combat emphasizes the middle route because it is the shortest straight distance and also the front of the body.

However, the street thugs who are good at fighting have not received systematic training and can only scare their peers at best. After all, street thugs rely mainly on ruthlessness rather than skill in fighting.

The man in the lead was unaware of this; he didn't even have any sense of crisis.

The central gate was completely empty; both hands were in his pockets, making it impossible to reach out quickly.

So when Yelena threw a punch in the most basic way, he had no idea what he was about to face.

Inch power is a technique that emphasizes short bursts of explosive force, characterized by sudden, forceful movements, wide swings, and a fierce and violent punch.

Yelena threw just one punch, and even held back her strength at the end, which sent the gang leader flying backward. He rolled three times on the ground outside the door before finally coming to a stop.

"Learning well."

She covered the bowl with the lid and didn't look at the henchmen who had run out to check if their leader was still alive. The girl simply touched Little Yelena's hair.

"hey-hey·····"

The girl smiled foolishly.

The girl was naturally happy to have finally helped her sister.

In a daze, the sound of the thug falling down as he ran in fear echoed through the alley.

[You've messed with the Black Hand Gang! You just wait!!!]

He didn't forget to utter some harsh words, but the voice seemed very distant.

Speaking of which...

That seems like a very distant memory.

The kids in the yard shout the same thing when they lose a fight.

What she has always been pursuing.

There was no intense joy, no profound despair, it was like a plant...

alive?

His dark blue eyes gazed at the girl, whose face broke into a happy smile.

Is this considered living?

Or is this what I've been searching for?

However, she felt nothing, perhaps because it was all an illusion.

It's like a damn movie.

Life is like a fxxx movie

She had previously bought some books on how to maintain a close relationship with her children.

The thought of a cold-faced noodle stall woman buying books that resemble parenting books is horrifying.

Of course, she eventually gave up.

Because the ultimate goal of all books is to enable children to acquire more social resources.

It's something you do to plan ahead for the future...

However, there is no "future" between her and Yelena.

This is just a story; she will ultimately destroy everything she has created.

In front of Yelena, they crushed them one by one.

Only in this way can hatred be maximized.

I will mold you, and then crush everything with my own hands.

･･････････

In the heart of Longmen City, on a bustling street, Sodium Chloride was looking at the address written on a postcard in his hand.

bar?

This is the right place.

Because of its small size, Longmen is home to only one mobile city, making land prices extremely high. It's not uncommon to find high-rise buildings with hospitals on the first floor and bars on the second.

The bar was remarkably quiet.

It perfectly matches the aesthetic of sodium chloride, with its soothing music, round bar, and silent bartender.

The surrounding sofas and chairs, along with the stools next to the bar, make up this enclosed space that is neither too large nor too small.

However, this was the first time she had ever seen a meeting held in such a place.

She's at least half a doctor and half a sorcerer.

But she quickly understood.

"Recently, rumors are circulating in high society that appointments with 'Miss Sodium Chloride' are extremely difficult to obtain; everyone says she's very effective..."
