122: Chapter 122: Online Therapy 122: Chapter 122: Online Therapy Network Therapy Group, command room.
“Why was he kicked out?”
“Let check…Ah.”
“Got it…
It’s a student group, he reported the admin for posting lewd pictures.”
“…Wait, why would the admin…
and why would he report it…
never mind…”
“Can our people pretend to be his classmates or teachers?”
“I’m afraid not, we haven’t had enough prep ti; it’s too easy to be found out.”
“He’s checking other groups now.”
…
Lin Xing opened one group after another on his social app, looking through the chat histories, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity and distance.
“Did I join these groups?”
“Who are these people?”
Lin Xing frowned and then opened his friend list, which only deepened his confusion.
He found that he didn’t recognize several people from his friend list when he randomly clicked on them.
Lin Xing opened these strangers’ profiles and feeds, growing more and more bewildered as he read.
“How is this possible…?”
“Why don’t I have any mory of them?”
“Have I really forgotten so much?”
At that thought, a strong sense of panic surged from Lin Xing’s heart.
Just then, the Puppet Girl put away her pen and paper and calmly announced, “Done.”
“Lin Xing, I’ve finished writing.
Do you want to take a look?”
Lin Xing hurriedly started reading what Bai Yiyi had written.
It was about the adventure he and Bai Yiyi undertook starting from the Mirror World’s Jiang Family Village.
“Lin Xing arrived at Jiang Family Village and, under my guidance, he killed an old man.”
“Lin Xing returned to the hospital for a few days, then ca back to Jiang Family Village and killed two soldiers and several villagers under my guidance.”
“Lin Xing visited Jiang Family Village again, this ti under my guidance, he crippled two villagers and killed the Mountain God…”
“Lin Xing ca to Jiang Family Village and found it had been burnt down, he couldn’t kill those soldiers, and under my guidance, he decided to retreat for the ti being…”
Lin Xing read about his own experiences written by Bai Yiyi and felt that every day in the Mirror World he was either practicing his skills or killing people, or just being in a daze.
The more he read, the more uncomfortable he felt.
“Is this how outsiders see ?”
“No, this isn’t the real .”
“Master Bai’s perspective is still too biased.
Although it can help rember so things, it can’t describe my true experience.”
Suddenly a thought flashed across Lin Xing’s mind: “I should ask my forr classmates in reality.
They’ve been around for so long, they should know my true character and can help reinforce my self-identity.”
With that thought, Lin Xing clicked on a stranger’s avatar and sent over a smiley face: Hello, Shang Dazhi
…
Network Therapy Group, command room.
A young man with glasses said, “Team leader, he has started ssaging friends on his social app.”
Everyone looked towards a short-haired woman with an icy expression as if waiting for her instructions.
After a mont of contemplation, she slowly said, “Review all his incoming and outgoing ssages.
Only the ssages that pass our inspection can be sent to him.”
“The information and chat team, be prepared; we might need to forge ssages at any mont.”
“Network team, also be ready, in case we need to cut off the target’s network…”
…
In East Sea City, within a chaotic bedroom.
Shang Dazhi, who was ho for the sumr holidays, was playing a video ga.
Suddenly seeing a ssage pop up on his social app, Shang Dazhi asked in surprise, “Lin Xing?
Why is this guy contacting out of the blue?”
“What kind of person do you think I am?”
He read the ssage sent by the other party and laughed, “What’s this guy up to?”
Shang Dazhi shook his head and sent a nonchalant response, “Certainly a good guy, reported the Immortal, solved the whole class’s problem with finding movies.”
…
Lin Xing waited for the other party’s ssage, feeling sowhat expectant for the reply.
Suddenly the other party’s avatar flashed, and Lin Xing quickly clicked on it.
Shang Dazhi: A noble person
Lin Xing nodded to himself and thought, “I should ask others as well.”
…
That day, many people received ssages from Lin Xing.
Observing their old classmate, whom they hadn’t contacted in a while, they sent back their responses politely, bluntly, or even automatically by the system.
“You’re quite good, always seed honest when you were little.”
“Lin Xing, stop ssaging in the future, I don’t want my boyfriend to misunderstand.”
“Quite smart, just a bit silly.”
“The user has enabled friend verification, you are not yet their friend.
Please send a friend request first.
After the other user accepts your request, you can chat.
(Send friend request)”
…
Lin Xing watched the jumping avatars, one by one, and began reading the new ssages he received.
“Always thought you were full of integrity since we were little.”
“Very rule-abiding, never sses around.”
“You’ve always been my ntor and friend.”
Lin Xing put down his phone and took a deep breath.
He felt as if the self who had been imrsed in those countless killings, deeply affected by those mories…
at this mont seed to be distancing from that influence even more.
He felt his heart calm down a lot all at once., no longer carrying the heaviness of earlier bloodlust.
“If I reinforce my self-identity like this every ti I return, the effects of the long battles to the death in the Mirror World will have a much smaller impact on .”
But he was also a bit troubled as he scratched his head, “But why can’t I still rember a lot of my friends?”
Thinking about the imminent start of the school term, Lin Xing muttered to himself, “With so many troubles at hand, when do I have the leisure to study?”
“I should go to school and arrange a leave of absence, and at the sa ti try to recover so mories.”
The Lin Xing of the past might have been distressed about taking a leave of absence, but the current Lin Xing upon thinking it jumped into action and started to call soone.
Zhao Wanxi beside him seed startled again, since although she had been researching the television, she couldn’t help but watch Lin Xing anxiously.
Watching him alternate between laughing and crying at a small box, then suddenly getting angry and then happy, she felt the room was becoming increasingly dangerous.
After Lv Ming arrived, Lin Xing expressed his request, and then turned to Bai Yiyi and Zhao Wanxi, “You guys rest here, I’ll go get the leave of absence sorted and co back.”
Bai Yiyi, who had been staring at Lin Xing’s phone for a long ti, said, “It’s so boring waiting here, what’s that thing?
Let your ancestor play with it too.”
Thus, Lin Xing gestured at the Puppet Girl, and then said to Lv Ming, “Could you get her a phone as well?”
Lv Ming nodded and imdiately made a call to have a phone set up for Bai Yiyi.
At the sa ti, he sent out another ssage, thinking to himself, “This woman needs to be monitored as well.”
