Starting with the Herrscher, mowing down enemies without equal.

Currently, Alicia is still the protagonist of the dream, and she must repay blood with blood and kill An Yu, even though... she can't kill her.

"Although I had some guesses... this conclusion still came as a bit of a surprise to me."

Even though An Yu had considered this possibility before and was somewhat certain of it, he still subconsciously wanted to ask the doctor: Are you reliable?

The teacher's confirmation instantly dispelled all his doubts; the teacher's judgment would never be too wrong.

"I understand. After all, she's your sister who's on your side. It takes a lot of courage to accept this reality."

Aponia nodded; the reality of her loved one having a mental illness was indeed hard to accept.

"Is there any way to cure it?"

8. "...Even if it only relieves some of the symptoms, it would be good."

An Yu blurted out, but then felt that a complete cure for this kind of mental symptom was really too difficult.

Technology is indeed developing, and there are indeed coercive treatment methods for symptoms like paranoia.

However, just like the internet addiction treatment schools of decades ago, the current methods of forced treatment are really... cruel, and they can really affect mental stability and cause irreversible damage.

Although the mental world of a person with paranoia is not very stable.

"The current relatively mild and generally accepted effective method is to continuously increase the patient's 'anchor point' in the real world."

Aponia spoke sincerely, tapping her finger lightly on the table: "From what I've observed, the relationship between you and your brother seems to be one of the most important bonds your sister has in reality."

After all... everyone else in the group is fine, but Alicia's reality is just too light.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that other people are really dreaming. Alicia has subjective agency in her dreams, which is the level that Aponia is trying to achieve by constantly hypnotizing herself.

Is this the only way?

"Is medication not needed to aid in the cure?"

According to An Yu's investigation these days, there are many antipsychotic drugs in the world, most of which play a role in stabilizing the mind and assisting in treatment.

Aponia hesitated for a moment: "There are some antipsychotic drugs, but based on my observations of this patient, the effects of taking these drugs are no greater than the damage they cause to the patient's mental health."

An Yu: ...

He desperately wanted to defend his older sister, saying she wasn't that fragile. She might seem easygoing, but deep down she had a stubborn streak. But with Alicia… anything is possible.

An Yu stood up heavily.

"Please wait a moment, I haven't finished yet, Mr. An Yu."

Aponia's voice rang out again.

An Yu's body stiffened, her heart filled with anguish, "Ah!!!"

"What else... is there..."

His voice trembled slightly without his realizing it. Damn it, after 25 years of smooth sailing, is it finally time to start going downhill?

"She's a bit of a yandere."

Aponia remained concise and to the point.

"???"

An Yu was stunned for a long time. He was actually relieved to hear such explosive news.

Is it really just this trivial issue?

That's it?

Compared to a serious mental illness like paranoia, yandere sounds... like child's play. (Nine)

As for how Aponia figured it out? She figured it out in the group chat.

Having been immersed in the dream for so long, she had long been curious about An Yu, but the obstacle was Alicia.

How do you treat this kind of problem?

An Yu's tone unconsciously relaxed a little; it didn't matter, although yanderes were indeed quite frightening... Three

He still can't forget the story of a guy online whose obsessive girlfriend cut off a piece of his little finger and ate it in the middle of the night.

Even when yelled at, she sweetly said: "Let him eat my little finger too, so that a part of us will be together forever."

Yes, this is a real-life yandere.

Why do we need treatment?

Aponia expressed some confusion: "Being attracted to someone is a very normal thing, and the degree of possessiveness is often rooted in the deepest part of a person's character."

"Changing the underlying nature of a personality often takes years or even decades, which goes beyond the scope of psychotherapy. In reality, we usually refer to this long-term companionship as family affection."

She shook her head and continued:

"I'm mentioning this purely out of professional ethics, to prepare you mentally."

oh oh.

An Yu gave a mumbled response and sat back down in his seat. His mind was a mess, and he didn't know what to say.

"So you still want treatment?"

An Yu dislikes yanderes, but says, "Isn't it said that they are difficult to treat?"

Moreover, changing one's underlying personality sounds like a very long process, and since it's so long... there's no point in trying to cure it; it's better to try to adapt and cope with it on your own.

Yes, it's difficult to cure.

Aponia agreed, but then changed the subject, interlacing her slender fingers and gently resting them on her chin, revealing a meaningful expression:

“But I can help you amplify her tendency in this regard.”

"Cough cough cough!? ℃▲：▲》6九∧℃琪'“捌÷搜□‖索⊙:"

An Yu suddenly started coughing, even though he hadn't drunk any water and hadn't choked.

He looked up at the seemingly gentle and calm female doctor with an incredulous expression.

Is your clinic legitimate?

"Doctor, stop joking. Although we seem to be from the same generation, I really can't accept some of these outrageous things."

Moreover, this is too much like a CS game. It's like the day his older sister tricked him into signing the marriage registration form, she then solemnly told him that their relationship had broken down and they were getting a divorce, and that according to the law, he had to give her half of the property.

"In the process of worsening."

Aponia explained calmly, as if presenting a rigorous treatment plan:

"I will try my best to reduce the severity of the other person's illness and weaken their violent tendencies..."

She leaned forward slightly, her gaze falling on An Yu's face: "What do you think?"

Why? Aponia's rationality told her that it was best not to change Anyu and Alicia's situation before figuring out whether the dream was a revelation from God or a whisper from the devil.

However, Alicia's cautious and hesitant demeanor could easily allow her mental illness to affect the relationship between the siblings. Therefore, some special methods must be used to lock things in place first and ensure the foundation of their relationship.

At least until I figure out the details of this dream.

An Yu remained silent, her lips moved slightly, but she ultimately gave no reply.

He wants to go home and play video games. Video games are better than fishing or playing cards; they save money and don't require leaving home.

Seeing this, Aponia shook her head and stopped asking questions, instead turning to look at An Yu's evaluation form.

"As for your assessment results..."

"The results show that you seem to have been feeling somewhat depressed lately, and your mood is at a low level."

Aponia fell silent as soon as she finished speaking, thinking about Alicia's situation.

Despite being so unrestrained in that strange dream, reality feels somewhat oppressive. Is it because I'm constrained by the anchor point?

She spread her hands apart, her fingertips tapping incessantly on the table, trying to figure out the relationship between them, but the information was simply insufficient.

"Let's exchange contact information, Mr. An Yu."

Aponia made this suggestion.

Volume 41: Chapter 41 Let's form a band for life!

Aponia's contact information is very new, very new... like a newly registered contact account, with not a single update.

"I'm sorry, my previous account was full of friends. My job is a bit special, and I generally can't actively delete visitors," she explained, her voice still gentle.

An Yu understands; just like people from power companies and internet companies, their friend lists are usually full.

Stepping out of the consultation room, the night breeze carried a slight chill. He turned to look at his older sister's silly expression, and for some reason, An Yu suddenly burst out laughing.

"I'm home, sis."

"Ah... what did the doctor say?"

Yi Ailixia curiously leaned closer, and judging from her younger brother's expression, it seemed he wasn't planning to continue talking to the doctor.

Did Aponia tell her brother she was feeling down?

I should have told my brother earlier that Aponia's words were hurtful.

"The doctor said you have delusions, but it's not a big problem."

Qi Ai Lixia puffed out her cheeks, looking very dissatisfied: "You lied to me again."

If she really had delusions, how could Aponia not tell her? They were best friends.

The two stood at the clinic entrance, gazing at the dazzling night sky.

“It’s so beautiful.”

Alicia took a deep breath, put her hands behind her back, and looked relaxed.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

An Yu said in a relaxed tone, "I'll cook myself. Let's have a happy day and not argue."

No wonder his older sister seemed like a different person after graduating from university, frantically looking for a job. He said, how could Alicia possibly stay at home for two years?

"As long as you don't bully me in my dreams, that's enough."

Alicia muttered softly and nudged An Yu gently.

An Yu shrugged: "I'll try my best."

"Speaking of which, how did I bully you in my dream?"

Although it's not a good idea to ask a mentally ill person this kind of question... I inexplicably feel like asking it.

Alicia hopped onto the motorcycle seat, swinging her legs, her tone somewhat unsettled: "You've become a Herrscher."

Lawyer?

Oh, this is the game setting, boss. But sis, have you been playing too many games?

"and then?"

An Yu tapped her head and subconsciously pressed for an answer.

"Then……"

Alicia suddenly clutched her head, a deep throbbing in her blood making her pause, and the scene before her eyes began to spin and blur.

"Sis? Sis!"

Don't scare me! I won't ask you about such sad things anymore. His strange curiosity vanished instantly.

He scooped up the limp Alicia in his arms, turned, and rushed back to the clinic, his voice distorted.

"Doctor! Doctor!" Lu

"Doctor, don't go home yet!"

An Yu's face turned deathly pale. After so many years of relying on each other, how could she have been so foolish as to ask such a question?

Isn't this just plain crazy? (驷)

After examining her, Aponia was equally bewildered: "Judging from her physiological indicators, she seems... to be asleep."

An Yu: ? Sigh

Do people laugh when they're extremely speechless? (Yue)

Maybe, perhaps. (Fei)
