Yimo's Mouth

Qin Muse stayed outside for a while to compose herself before returning to class.

Teacher: "Why are you so late? What have you been doing?"

Qin Muse: "I wasn't feeling well, so I went to the Infirmary."

Qin Muse was a good student in the eyes of her teachers during junior high school, so they didn't ask any questions and let her go back to school as usual.

As Qin Muse sat back down, her phone received a message.

Short-Haired Girl: Twilight, are you alright? I was a little worried about you!

Qin Muse: It's alright.

After replying to the message, Qin Muse didn't look at the Short-Haired Girl. Instead, she rested her chin on her hand and stared blankly out the window.

Qin Muse remembered.

I experienced something similar when I was in elementary school.

I've never been popular with people since I was a child, and I don't have many friends.

Qin Muse's only friend was a girl, but she unexpectedly overheard her talking badly about her.

Qin Muse was furious and went up to fight her.

Result...

Therefore, everyone's anger was directed at Qin Muse, which led to her being severely isolated that year.

I felt wronged at the time and originally wanted to confide in my father.

But her father lectured her, saying, "The reason you are bullied is because you are not good enough."

When you are good enough, no one will bully you.

My daughter will definitely be outstanding in the future. The reason why no one can be your friend now is because they are not good enough for you!

So don't worry about it, just focus on your studies at school.

Building connections is not necessary in elementary school.

At the time, Qin Muse didn't understand; she just felt that her parents didn't care about her enough.

Ah... so tired...

This is Qin Muse's current mental state.

She didn't have any friends before, but after suddenly gaining them, she began to cherish them.

In hindsight, it turns out that it was all just wishful thinking on my part.

Honestly, when Qin Muse talked to her classmates, she subconsciously felt a sense of distance, thinking they were particularly childish and that she wasn't interested in the topics they discussed.

I could only listen more and force a few words into the conversation.

Qin Muse was actually very angry when she heard her "friends" saying bad things about her.

I have a feeling of being betrayed.

But thinking about it now, I feel relieved.

Well, it's nothing.

Being alone, Jingjing, is quite nice.

Alter Ego Value: 37%.

After school, the Short-Haired Girl invited Qin Muse to go to a dessert shop together.

Qin Muse refused directly and then left.

On the way, they met Yimo.

Yimo: "Shall we find somewhere to talk?"

Qin Muse glared at Yimo with hostility, then gritted her teeth and nodded.

It was the Small Alley as yesterday; apart from the two people, there was no one else.

This time, before Yimo could speak, Qin Muse questioned, "You sent me the Text Message, didn't you?"

Yimo: "Yes, it's me."

Qin Muse gritted her teeth. "How did you know my classmate was talking bad about me behind my back?"

"Did you do something?!"

Yimo shook her head and said, "Yesterday, when your classmate pushed you toward me, she secretly slipped me a note with her contact information on it."

Qin Muse: "So, you contacted her."

"You said bad things about me to her?"

"Hehehe... Who exactly are you?!"

You are definitely not Psychologist!

"Your methods are despicable!"

Yimo took out a Voice Recorder: "I didn't say anything bad about you, I just used my position as your Boyfriend to find out about you at school."

"I recorded the whole thing. Would you like to hear what she had to say about you?"

Whether he's Psychologist or not isn't important; what's important is that I'm helping you.

"It's for your own good."

Qin Muse: "Never mind... I don't want to hear it..."

"Is this for my own good...?" she muttered to herself.

Qin Muse looked up and stared intently at Yimo. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked, "Did I really know you before?"

Yimo: "Of course."

Qin Muse: "Are you close?"

Yimo: "That's great. You've been taking the initiative to reach out to me and talk to me."

So good that he'd carry a knife and search the world for himself, and regularly "warm up" his own group chat every day.

Qin Muse frowned slightly. "You're lying. I won't actively seek out others."

Yimo: "I'm special to you, I'm your Psychologist, aren't I?"

Qin Muse: "..."

"Okay, I'll assume for now that what you're saying is true."

"Then let me ask you a question."

Yimo: "It's the truth."

"I Yimo, never lie!"

"You ask."

Qin Muse: "I didn't have any friends at school before, but seven days ago, I suddenly made friends."

"To be honest, thinking about it now, something feels really off."

Can you tell me why?

Yimo: "I've said it before, you have psychological problems. It's a strong form of self-suggestion; your subconscious is ignoring things you don't want to accept."

"Deep down, you crave friends."

"After all, humans are social animals, this is perfectly normal and understandable."

Driven by that intense desire, you proactively sought out classmates and made some superficial friends.

"Of course, I also played a part in this. I had told your parents before that your mental state wasn't right, and suggested that they talk to your teachers and some classmates to be kinder to you."

"And in the process of making friends, you actually disliked being proactive, so you deliberately forgot about that process."

"This result leads to the feeling that you wake up one morning and suddenly have friends, and the world has changed completely."

Qin Muse rubbed her temples. "Although what you said sounds a bit unrealistic, I think I understand a little bit..."

So, I really do have a psychological problem?

Upon Yimo smiled, "There is a problem, but it's not serious."

Qin Muse was taken aback. "Your memories will disappear, isn't that serious?"

Yimo: "An excessive self-protective mechanism of the body is a disease."

"But isn't it good to forget things you don't want to think about?"

"Your relationship with your friends isn't very harmonious, and their attitude towards you isn't very good, but you've deliberately ignored it."

"Now that I've shown you the truth, how do you feel?"

Qin Muse: "I think I might really not be suited to making friends..."

"Indeed, studying hard is still the best fit for me..."

Yimo: "See, isn't this great?"

You've come to understand yourself.

Congratulations, your mental illness is showing signs of recovery.

Qin Muse thought for a moment, then nodded. "Um..."

"Thanks..."

Although Qin Muse felt a bit sorry for herself, she still reluctantly thanked Xie Yimo.

This wave has already been half-deceived by Yimo.

Yimo generously replied, "You're welcome. After all, I'm your Psychologist!"

Qin Muse: "Um, my parents really do know a Psychologist named Suger."

"I checked online, and they're all positive reviews."

"It seems he'll be coming over for dinner tonight."

Is he really a bad person?

Upon hearing this, Yimo moved closer to Qin Muse, nodded, and said, "He's a bad person."

"While you do have some mental health issues, they are not serious."

"As long as you accept reality little by little and accept who you are, you can gradually heal."

"Qin Muse, you must believe in yourself and have confidence in yourself!"

"You're good enough; I can overcome this little psychological issue gradually!"

"But if you put him in charge of your condition, you will be completely ruined!"

Yimo paused, then continued, "And in the process, your parents will suffer even more. The group they worked so hard to build will ultimately fall into the hands of that Suger."

"He's incredibly skilled at hypnosis, and his methods are extremely despicable!"

"Since you've chosen to target the Qin Group and your parents, you'll definitely go all out!"

Qin Muse became anxious upon hearing this. "Then... what should I do...?"

"My parents completely believe him now..."

"I almost got into a fight with my parents yesterday..."

Qin Muse didn't completely believe Yimo's words, but she was genuinely afraid that Suger was a bad person who would implicate her parents because of her.

The more she thought about the Nightmare she'd had for the past three nights, and the gruesome deaths of her parents, the more frightened she became.

Hearing this, Yimo smiled and reached out to pat Qin Muse's head, "I told you, I would help you."

For some reason, Qin Muse's heart would beat particularly fast when she looked at Yimo; it was a very strange feeling.

Driven by this feeling, even though he subconsciously believed that Yimo was a liar, he still forced himself not to run away, and actually felt a little more at ease.

He admitted that he was exceptionally talented and capable of overcoming any difficulty!

She trusts herself!

He is helping himself!

Qin Muse: "Should we report this to the Security Post?"

Yimo: "The Security Post won't get involved without solid evidence."

Qin Muse: "I feel like you're brainwashing me..."

I suddenly became more awake.

Yimo: "Oh, this..."

You're overthinking it.

"Have I lied to you about anything so far?"

Qin Muse: "It seems... there isn't..."

Yimo: "Yes!"

"I'm asking you, if Suger isn't a bad person, isn't my advice to be wary of him also for your own good?"

Qin Muse nodded. "That's true..."

I've been completely fooled again.

Yimo: "But Suger is a bad person!"

Qin Muse: "Um, what should I do now?"

Upon Yimo placed a Dagger in Qin Muse's hand.

Qin Muse looked at the Dagger in her hand carefully, then suddenly asked in fear, "Why did you give me Dagger?"

"Psychologist would never give something like that to a patient!"

Looking at Qin Muse's still-childish 14-year-old face, Yimo patted her head and said, "Twilight, if an adult were to assault you, do you think you could resist?"

Qin Muse: "I don't know..."

Yimo: "You can't resist!"

"A 30-year-old man and a 14-year-old Little Girl have an insurmountable physical difference!"

I'm giving you weapons so you can protect yourself!

"At least, don't let bad people hurt you!"

Qin Muse: "But... but..."

"My parents would never stand by and watch me get bullied."

Upon hearing Yimo sighed and said, "That Suger is extremely powerful."

"Otherwise, how could your parents have been deceived as well?"

"Twilight."

"If necessary."

"Your parents also need your protection."

Yimo looked at Qin Muse gently. "Don't worry, I'll help you!"

I will always support you from behind!

Upon hearing this, Qin Muse recalled the tragic deaths of her parents, a red light flashed in her eyes, and she nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes!"

"Thank you, Yimo!"

"If that Suger really intends to harm my parents, then..."

"I will use it to protect my parents with my own hands!"

Yimo watched Qin Muse's departing figure, then looked at her own Cards, feeling somewhat bewildered.

In his plan, he needed to make Qin Muse face reality.

As everyone knows, Qin Muse's reality is not so rosy.

In other words, the clearer Qin Muse's understanding of reality becomes, the higher her Alter Ego Value should be, and the darker her whole persona should become!

This way, if Suger really does something to harm Qin Muse, the chances of her Counterkill Suger will be higher.

But...

The reality is that Qin Muse has no friends, her parents don't believe her, and she might even be harmed by bad people...

Why did the Alter Ego Value change from 37% to 33%?

Oh no, what's going on?!
