Lin Nieran Swapped Bodies

"Generally, incurable and mental illnesses like his are classified as Category F."

These words reminded Wang Ding of Lin Yi's medical report that he had seen in the neighborhood.

He remembered that it was when Lin Yi was five years old, the diagnosis issued by the Cloud City Lily City Mental Health Center, which showed that he had moderate antisocial personality disorder.

If he remembers correctly, most antisocial individuals are born with a mental illness.

Lin Yi appears to be over five years old now, so he should have already been diagnosed. However, he doesn't seem to have been identified as "mentally ill" by the Orphanage.

"Was it Lily Hospital that diagnosed us?" Wang Ding asked tentatively.

Lin Yi nodded. "Lily Hospital is the best hospital in Cloud City. I understand. You must have arrived too suddenly; the testing for this week hasn't even started yet, right?"

"Yes," Wang Ding said with a smile, making a mental note of it.

At the urging of Tao Yuan and An Ying, Flower Language and Wu Liang have ceased their fighting, but they still stand far apart.

Mi Chuchu glanced at the time. "We were supposed to meet at eleven, but it's almost ten now. Should we wait for Qin Rang here, or go check out the place you mentioned earlier?"

Wang Ding pondered for a moment and said, "There are so many Black-Line Weird outside, and we haven't found a way to avoid them yet."

After saying that, he glanced at the Black Cat not far away and said, "We've discovered that animals can evade the Black-Line Weird. We can try changing our form, but I don't have many shape-shifting Weird Object here."

Mi Chuchu looked at the Black Cat and said, "... Perhaps animals aren't considered Orphanage in the eyes of the Black-Line Weird?"

Tao Yuan said, "That's what I think too."

"Should we use a shape-shifting Weird Object?" Mi Chuchu asked. "Shall I give it a try?"

"Wait, let me think." Tao Yuan glanced at the time, then thought about the map of the Orphanage, and finally shook her head, saying, "Never mind, it's almost time. I'll go pick up Qin Rang first. There are so many Black-Line Weird outside; even if he wakes up, it won't be easy for him to come over."

Mi Chuchu stood up and put her armor back on. "I'll go get it. You guys stay here and discuss where to go first."

Tao Yuan nodded. "Alright, be careful on your journey."

Mi Chuchu was gone for more than twenty minutes.

Tao Yuan and Wang Ding opened the hand-drawn map and pondered their next destination. Lin Yi and the others, feeling sleepy, leaned against the side and dozed off.

Tao Yuan and Wang Ding discussed for a while whether to go to the Back Mountain, the basement they couldn't get into during the day, or to deal with the surveillance cameras whose location they didn't know.

Ultimately, they decided to go to the basement, firstly because of the distance— the Back Mountain was too far from their current location, and the Black-Line Weird outside made it impossible for them to move an inch. Secondly, they didn't know where the monitoring room was, and searching blindly would only be a waste of time.

Secondly, if they go into the Back Mountain with their current scores and get caught, what will they have left after losing 20 points?

Direct defeat, total annihilation?

Relatively speaking, the basement, being a secluded place, offers the best chance of finding clues and is also the closest location to them, so going there first is definitely the right thing to do.

You can visit the Back Mountain during the day, but not the Dining Hall. It's too crowded during the day, making it too easy to be spotted; you can only come at night.

After confirming, Tao Yuan asked Flower Language and Wu Liang, who were sitting not far from Lin Yi, "Are you coming with us later?"

Flower Language and Wu Liang naturally wanted to go together; they also wanted to know if Lin Nieran was with Lin Yi. Since Lin Yi had gone, they definitely wanted to go too.

"Okay, we're planning to go there too," Wu Liang said, and Flower Language nodded in agreement.

"Good."

In the past, Tao Yuan would have subtly inquired about their purpose in coming to this Instance, but now it doesn't matter anymore; the organization has its own affairs, and they have theirs.

They didn't Item location of Qin Rang's soul, so they had to search every nook and cranny of this Instance.

After waiting a few more minutes, Mi Chuchu arrived in a hurry with Qin Rang, Black-Line Weird faded away once again.

Mi Chuchu put Qin Rang down from her shoulder, Qin Rang immediately leaned against the door and gagged.

Tao Yuan said tactfully, "Perhaps Qin Rang is a human being, not a sack, and might not be suited to this kind of resistance."

When she was fleeing for her life, Mi Chuchu carried her like this, almost costing her her life.

"Really? Then I'll try carrying you in a princess carry next time?"

Qin Rang, recovering from his dizziness, waved his hand. "Then let's do it this way, I'm vomiting—thank you."

Mi Chuchu smiled and said, "You're welcome." When the captain recovers, he'll be so touched he'll cry when he remembers this!

Wang Ding said, "Everyone's here, let's go."

"Good."

Everyone stood up, and the Black Cat jumped off the chair, wagging its tail and following them.

Qin Rang's gaze was quickly drawn to An Ying's hair, and he murmured, "This hair... it's quite pretty."

Tao Yuan smiled and said, "Really? Someone said that before."

Qin Rang asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

Of course it's you.

Tao Yuan thought this to herself, but smiled and said, "A friend. We're all looking for him."

"You... came here to look for him too?"

"Well, I guess so."

Qin Rang frowned. "Alright... then you should go check out the basement."

Led by Wang Ding, the group walked towards the Statue. An Ying usual, walked behind. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Lin Yi was still asleep, so she squatted down and shook his shoulder.

"Lin Yi, wake up, we're off."

Lin Yi remained unresponsive with his eyes closed, and the others also stopped and waited.

Lin Nieran happened to be wandering back from the area and, seeing this, called out to Lin Yi, "Wake up, Lin Yi, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Nieran's vision went black, and the next moment his body felt heavy. A cold wind, carrying a chill, rushed into his body from all directions, instantly waking him up.

Lin Nieran suddenly opened his eyes, meeting a pair of round, pink eyes at close range. He instinctively leaned back, avoiding An Ying's close face.

An Ying looked at him with a puzzled expression, her young face showing a hint of confusion.

Lin Nieran forced a smile and said awkwardly, "I was just... half asleep."

"Okay." An Ying straightened up, tossed her white hair behind her, and then slung the Bamboo Umbrella over her shoulder. "Let's go."

Lin Nieran pushed himself up with one hand on the ground. "Coming."

The moment he caught up, Flower Language and Wu Liang, who were walking ahead, both turned around as if sensing his presence. The instant their eyes met, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.

He is my lord! / He is my friend!

The Black Cat followed behind him, its tail held high, and its meows became gentler.

Lin Nieran and the Vest in disguise made eye contact, then lowered their eyes, composed themselves, and touched An Ying's Bamboo Umbrella before asking, "Were these things custom-made? I've never seen such a small Chainsaw and umbrella, and Mi Chuchu's armor."

The group paused, glancing down at their Weird Object.
