Humans were extraordinarily complex creatures.
From an outsider's perspective, Chen Yu, a veteran player, had absolutely no reason to believe in something like a ghost's dream.
In truth, she knew it herself. A dream was just a dream, ready to shatter at a touch.
The players who constantly struggled between the Ghost Story World and the real world had all developed psychological problems to some degree.
Chen Yu was no exception. Her problem was not actually severe. She simply wanted somewhere safe and reliable, somewhere she could completely escape the game's summons and return to a normal life.
When such an "extravagant wish" suddenly had a chance to become reality during a Ghost Story, she recognized the possible problems, but what if?
What if it really could come true?
She talked herself past the unreasonable parts, and simply ignored whatever she could not explain away.
Like a drowning person clinging desperately to a wooden pole extended toward her.
But Yan Xiao was not her. Repeated deaths had severely warped his mental state. He did have a problem, and a serious one at that, but even so, it did not seem entirely bad...
He had developed an extreme thirst for life.
He longed to live, even to the point of being unable to tolerate anyone else's death.
Even if someone had only a single breath left, he would do everything he could to save them.
Yan Xiao's attachment to life had reached a pathological level.
That was why Zhong Xueran had said there was something wrong with his head, but it was not a big problem.
Because for the players accompanying him, that distortion actually provided positive help.
A doctor who would do everything possible to save you precisely because he was twisted inside... the thought was rather reassuring.
