Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 7 Summary
"What?! Impossible!"

The evil spirit was shocked, and then found that Yang Liu's figure had disappeared from the spot.

"Nothing is impossible."

Hearing the sound coming from beside him, the black mist on the evil spirit couldn't help but explode, and it flew out suddenly and tried to sneak into the wall.

Bang!
The fist as big as a clay pot hit the evil spirit's face hard. Theoretically, the spirit, which did not exist in concrete matter, was knocked back by this huge force.

"It turns out you really used all your strength just now. You were going so slowly that I thought you were just teasing me." Yang Liu maintained his punching posture.

The spirit on the evil spirit's face was shattered, revealing the deep darkness inside that was as bottomless as an abyss. The black mist on its body quickly gathered towards the gap, trying to repair it.

After suffering such a heavy blow, the evil spirit showed a surprised smile on his face.

Because with this force, he was flying rapidly towards the floor.

Due to the special feature that evil spirits cannot interfere with matter, as long as they touch the floor, they can sneak in like diving and then escape from here.

It doesn’t matter even if we can’t kill this guy now. As long as we are human, we need to sleep and rest. We will always find a chance.

"Hahahaha, you didn't expect that?! This is my way to escape..."

Before he could finish his words, the evil spirit felt someone grab his legs, and a devilish look suddenly appeared on his face: "Wait!"

Yang Liu pulled his legs and smiled, then pulled him back abruptly and strangled the evil spirit's neck with one hand.

"Oh, you like memes so much. I didn't expect you have the same hobby as me. You also like to watch these things."

The evil spirit tried to struggle, but no matter how he attacked, the hand that was holding his neck was like an iron clamp, holding him tightly.

Even trying to control the kitchen knife was of no use. It was just two fingers, but the kitchen knife was so hard that it seemed like it was welded to his fingers.

After realizing that he really had no other choice, the evil spirit could only smile awkwardly: "...Can we reconcile?"

"Now? You must be kidding."

Yang Liu shook her head, exerted force with her palms, and crushed the evil spirit amid the evil spirit's curses.

The reason why I was struggling with the evil spirit before was entirely because of my mentality as a researcher. I finally came across an experimental subject, and even if it failed, I must record the experimental results well.

After confirming that the evil spirit had no other changes, Yang Liu quickly got rid of it, which could be regarded as "cleaning up" the remnants of the experiment.

He threw the kitchen knife back accurately into the knife rack and hesitated for a moment as he watched the evil spirit body floating in the air and quickly dissipating.

"Forget it! Just die!"

Yang Liu gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and suddenly stretched out her hand to grab the remaining body of the evil spirit.

The spirit that was originally dissipating seemed to be attracted by something and was sucked into Yang Liu's body along with the surrounding black fog.

The remaining body of the evil spirit was quickly absorbed. Before Yang Liu could do anything, he fell to the ground with a "bang", foaming at the mouth, rolling his eyes and twitching.

The whole person twitched on the ground like a maggot for a long time before Yang Liu finally recovered, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and climbed up panting.

"Damn it, it's so fucking uncomfortable!" Yang Liu wiped his face with his hand and finally came back to his senses from the mental shock just now.

Yang Liu pulled over a chair and sat down, feeling a little tired, and felt his current situation.

There is no need to say much about the condition of the body. There is no ghost that has released its obsession, so even if it is an evil spirit, there will not be much effect after being absorbed. Yang Liu can't even feel any strengthening of his body.

However, this was not his main purpose for taking the risk of absorbing the evil spirit.

The "impurities" that cause mental shock are composed of the evil spirit's deepest emotions, feelings, and memories. Although it will make you feel uncomfortable, it is indeed the best way to collect intelligence.

He closed his eyes, suppressed his nausea and recalled the images he "saw" and the emotions he felt during the mental shock just now. Those were the most profound memories before the evil spirit was "exorcized".

"I see, it's jealousy..."

Yang Liu leaned back in the chair, raised her head and pinched the bridge of her nose, her tone full of sighs:

“No wonder he exploded suddenly, it turned out that his jealousy towards me turned into anger, and he even surpassed the thugs who harmed him in the first place.

No, it’s not so much jealousy towards me, but rather the jealousy of the dead towards the living… it’s difficult.”

After resting in the chair for a while, Yang Liu stood up, opened a drawer under the table next to him, and took out four folders from under some books.

By the way, he put the folder of today's evil spirit together with them. Yang Liu sat on the chair and thought for a while, then opened the folders one by one and looked at them carefully.

"Sure enough, although it seems that the reasons for each one's out-of-control rampage are different, they all have similar logic underneath."

Yang Liu is a man of action. She has been working hard since she came up with the idea of using psychological counseling to help ghosts resolve their obsessions.

Today's evil spirit is the fifth experimental subject he has found. The five folders in front of him can be regarded as the experimental records of these ghosts.

Without exception, all five experiments ended in failure, and each time the result was that the ghost suddenly went berserk, its power suddenly skyrocketing from a vengeful spirit to an evil spirit.

After several attempts using the method of eliminating variables, Yang Liu was roughly certain that this approach would not work.

"The resentment and yearning of the dead towards the living is a big problem in itself. In addition, their personalities become extreme after becoming ghosts. The psychological counseling I provide to them is not useless, but it has another effect..."

Yang Liu put down the folder and scratched her hair in distress.

Since he is facing a group of ghosts, the psychological treatment methods he can choose are limited, but no matter which one he chooses, he basically has to go through the stage of "transference".

Transference is one of the important concepts in psychoanalysis. It was first proposed by Freud and refers to the process of transferring the patient's desires to the counselor to achieve the goal.

When it comes to ghosts, their obsession target has become Yang Liu himself.

But whether it is positive empathy with positive emotions or negative empathy with negative emotions, it is not a good result for Yang Liu.

Even positive transference with emotions such as love will become distorted under the influence of the deceased's resentment towards the living. The most classic example is asking Yang Liu to commit suicide with her.

"It's so troublesome. To complete psychological counseling, we must go through the step of transference. But once they transfer their obsession, they will become obsessed with me... This is simply a dead end!"

Yang Liu sighed, and subconsciously took out a pen and started writing and drawing at the end of the folder.
