Chapter 286 A Wonderful Magic Tower Journey with Miss Cat (Part 8)
"Son, what's wrong with you?"

My father's voice rang in my ears.

But Ji Yi could only hear the sounds; her vision was so blurred that she couldn't see anything.

Gradually, he lost all recollection of where he was and what he was doing.

He had always felt a strange emotion, as if it didn't belong to him, hidden deep inside his heart.

He couldn't remember exactly when it was, but if he had to pinpoint the earliest timeframe, it would be around 2015.

He began to experience extreme and violent emotions, and often fell into "daydreams".

In short, whenever he encounters injustice or unfairness, he becomes extremely angry, but this emotion is suppressed and transforms into a series of violent fantasies.

In his delusional world, he could fly and disappear into the earth, and was omnipotent, using absolute power to subdue all evil in the world.

In his fantasy, he is the end of sin, the end of evil.

Such daydreams can, to a certain extent, greatly alleviate the violence in his heart, preventing it from erupting outwards.

Therefore, no one noticed anything wrong with Ji Yi. As for what impact it had on Ji Yi herself, it was that she often lost focus in class, which led to less than ideal grades. In the end, she barely made it into an ordinary local university.

Fortunately, his family was open-minded, and he lived a smooth life without ever encountering anything truly distressing.

But why has it turned out like this today?
When Ji Yi opened her eyes.

A crimson hue invaded my vision—the walls, the floor, and even my hands.
The blood seemed to have stained everything in the house red.

The father was trembling and crying.

He huddled at his own feet, begging for mercy, muttering nothing but "Don't kill me."

strangeness.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

As Ji Yi spoke, she squatted down to help her father up, but he seemed to have seen a demon, suddenly shuddered, and curled up, covering his head.

Ji Yi's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He shifted his gaze from his father and began to observe his surroundings with some confusion.

look around.

The once clean and tidy home has become a mess.

The room was filthy, as if animals had been put into a juicer and ground into blood foam, which was then evenly splashed onto the walls.

However, one can occasionally see some broken fabric and organ tissue, which tells us that these are not red paint.

"Huh? That's it?"

There was something vaguely familiar by the door, but... it shouldn't be considered familiar.
A blood-stained bra, the size of a bowl, lay there.

Ji Yi had never seen this thing in person, and couldn't even tell its original color, but judging from its size, there was only one suitable person in her mind.

"What's going on, Cinderella's crystal dome?"

Ji Yi complained, and then walked towards the door as if possessed.

As if his brain hadn't processed it, he was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with the blood in the room or his terrified father.

The only thing that attracted him was the fabric of his undergarments by the door.

Ji Yi walked over and picked up the bra. The damp blood made the fabric feel wet and cool to the touch.

This must be Miss Xie's stuff, it feels so nice to touch.

Speaking of which, where is Miss Xie?

Ji Yi looked around, but couldn't find anything else besides blood and bits of flesh.

Suddenly, a strand of blood-stained hair fell from her head. Ji Yi grasped the strand of hair, which was more than half a meter long, and looked up in confusion.

I saw.

A beautiful woman's head, with wide-open eyes, is embedded in the cement, while a magnificent flower of blood blooms on the back of her head.

So Miss Xie is here.

"The Dream Infiltration Plan is complete!"

The 14th floor of the Magic Tower, the world of fake humans, a research laboratory for human nature experiments.

Through the [NPC console], Qi Changyuan's body was completely controlled by Ji Yi, and even his memories were being rapidly read by Ji Yi's powerful mental strength.

At this moment, Ji Yi was controlling Qi Changyuan, using his professional knowledge to adjust the instruments, while simultaneously reading his mind.

Everything in the pseudo-human world is a simulation of modern human society, but the reason why the pseudo-humans were developed by the "creator god" is unknown.

Therefore, apart from knowledge about the false people, Ji Yi did not obtain any more valuable information.

"The priority now is rescuing Miss Xie; we can't let her die in the dream."

As Ji Yi spoke, she simultaneously increased the power of the connected instruments.

Dying in a dream, while not actually killing the player, causes their consciousness to fall into a deeper subconscious dream, thus entering a state of stream of consciousness.

In the subconscious, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and such confused memories can fundamentally change a person.

"There is one situation where false memories don't appear in dreams."

Ji Yi muttered to herself in Qi Changyuan's voice.

"That is, there must be something extremely unpleasant in my past that would make Xie Jiayi change her attitude towards me."

But how could such a thing possibly exist?

I'm an honest, law-abiding homebody, a model student, and a young, unmarried man.

At most, his first kiss was with Shikiko, his second kiss was with Yangyang, and his third kiss was with Xie Jiayi. What other heinous crimes did he commit?

Furthermore, strictly speaking, his first kiss should have been with some unknown female classmate from kindergarten, right?
Therefore, dreams must construct false things in order to destroy his relationship with Xie Jiayi.

Thinking of this, Ji Yi manipulated Qi Changyuan to sit down to the side, while she devoted all her energy to her original soul, which was deep within the dream.

Ji Yi arrived in the outer dream realm.

He soon discovered that Miss Xie was still dead, most likely having fallen into the inner subconscious.

"With the machine granting me access, finding her shouldn't be difficult, but we need to hurry."

Ji Yi raised his hand and waved it, and the scene around Ning'an City quickly changed into another state.

If we say that the scenery of the outer dream is a real, straight, hyper-realistic experience of walking along a timeline.

The inner subconscious has no concept of time or before and after; it can observe the past and present, and even predict the future.

Of course, while this sounds far-fetched, the main reason is that after dying once, one's willpower is greatly weakened, leading to a loss of judgment and an inability to distinguish between illusion and reality.

In this state, consciousness is quite fragile, and Ji Yi almost fell for it, nearly believing what appeared to be fake content to be true.

As the surrounding scenery flickers, the environment and streets change irregularly like a slideshow.

Ji Yi once again demonstrated her superior mental strength and quickly located Xie Jiayi's position.

"Miss Cat! Miss Cat!"

He shouted desperately at Xie Jiayi, who was huddled at the crossroads with her head in her hands.

Although the other party was clearly in their true form at this moment, Ji Yi still preferred to call her Miss Cat in the instance, and Xie Jiayi obviously preferred this title as well.

Her family upbringing made her very concerned about Ji Yi's opinion on her "shortcomings".

Simply put, Xie Jiayi was actually lacking in love deep down. In the short first half of her life, she hardly felt any love from her parents.

Therefore, she hopes that someone can accept her flaws as well and love the real her.

This ultimately shaped her conflicted personality, making it very difficult for her to keep the truth from Ji Yi.

And now, Ji Yi is the one who, looking at Miss Cat's ordinary face, loudly proclaims, "I like Miss Cat."

A thought flashed through Ji Yi's mind as she arrived at the crossroads.

"Miss Cat, I'm here to save you."

Looking at Xie Jiayi, who had crouched down and curled up in a ball, Ji Yi said easily:

"Don't be afraid, this is just a dream. No matter what sounds you hear or what lies you about, those things are all fabricated false memories." "Please don't believe anything that could break the trust between us. Right now, the only person you can trust is me."

"I like you, Miss Cat."

He bent down and hugged Xie Jiayi, who was silent, and said...

Ji Yi felt Xie Jiayi tremble in her arms, as if she were having a nightmare.

Gently stroking her head, Ji Yi whispered:
"follow me."

A flash of white light appeared around them.

Ji Yi and Xie Jiayi both woke up in the laboratory at the same time.

Miss Cat nimbly leaped into the air, then cautiously surveyed her surroundings.

"Don't be afraid, I've taken care of things here."

Ji Yi smiled slightly and pointed at Qi Changyuan:

"I've controlled this guy with my skills; now it's my consciousness that's in control of him. Apart from that, everyone in the lab has been dealt with, and it's safe here."

Miss Cat's eyes still held a hint of wariness upon hearing this.

And this vigilance was actually directed at himself.

"Damn it, you didn't actually fall for it, did you? I told you, this is a dream experiment conducted by a fake person. What you dreamed about is just someone else's manipulation and divisive tactics! Wake up!"

Xie Jiayi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Then she opened her mouth slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say, but finally closed it.

Actually she knows.

Many of the scenes seen in dreams after death are unrealistic fabrications.

but.
Every scene she saw before she died was absolutely real; it was a series of events that Ji Yi did not remember, but which had indeed happened.

"Why do you look like you haven't woken up yet? Did I scare you? Come on, let me feel your heartbeat."

As Ji Yi spoke, she made a gesture of stepping forward and extending her hand.

Of course, he just wanted to make a joke to lighten the mood; he didn't actually intend to touch her.

After learning Miss Cat's true identity, Ji Yi's lustful desires grew, but his courage dwindled.

But just as her hand hovered in front of the other person, Miss Cat naturally grabbed Ji Yi's wrist and placed it on her chest.

Ji Yi was stunned for a moment.

"I really can't do anything with Mr. Kiba. If you want to touch me, you don't need to make up an excuse. Just touch me directly, and I won't mind."

"?"

"but."

She changed the subject abruptly, standing on tiptoe and whispering in Ji Yi's ear:

"Is just touching enough? I heard that losing your virginity in a game doesn't change your real body, which means Mr. Kiba can take me away twice?"

Ji Yi: "?!"

Yun Chang: "Everyone, stand up!"

Miss Cat glanced at Ji Yi's lower body, then released Ji Yi's wrist with satisfaction and turned to walk towards the laboratory door.

"???"

Damn it! Woman, you're playing with fire!

However, the good news is that the rescue was timely and Miss Cat seems to be unharmed, which is enough.

"Mr. Giba, this door can't be opened. Are you going to forcibly demolish it?"

At this moment, a katana had appeared in her hand.

"No, I controlled the researcher and made him open the door normally. By the way, how come you became stupid after having a dream?"

"Yes, I'm so flustered by Mr. Kiba's teasing that I'm completely disoriented."

She stated it indifferently, without the slightest emotion.

"can not tell."

Ji Yi sighed helplessly, then a thought struck her, and Qi Changyuan stepped forward to scan her iris and fingerprints.

"Come on, I know this route like the back of my hand. We can get through easily without alerting security."

Ji Yi looked confident.

Although the building materials here are special, it is difficult for God's perspective to see the entire interior.

However, based on Qi Changyuan's memories, getting out would be quite easy; there are at least seven routes that would minimize the risk of fighting.

"Is that so? Then Mr. Giba must also know what this red light on the door means, right?"

"Yes, the problem is quite simple; the security system has been triggered."

Wait, what happened?

[This place has been invaded by uninvited guests. It seems you're going to suffer as well. Are you prepared to fight to the death against up to 37 pseudo-humans with A+ level combat power?]

37 A+ level characters? Is this the level of difficulty you'd expect for the 14th floor of the Magic Tower?

"Qi Changyuan doesn't have enough authority. We can't escape. Let's find a place to hide!"

Ji Yi reacted immediately.

First, Qi Changyuan was instructed to open the laboratory door, and then the three figures quickly disappeared into the room.

Meanwhile, at the southeast entrance of the research institute.

A petite young girl, wearing a half-white mask and a red dress, slowly walked forward in a passage made of an unknown alloy.

Behind her lay the scattered corpses of the guards.

The girl is less than 1.6 meters tall and has unusually small feet, only size 34.

To paraphrase some eccentric LSPs, he could eat the whole ice cream in one go.

"It's definitely Brother Ji. He has the pseudo-human dungeon recommendation letter I gave him, so there's no mistake. I wonder if Sister has come yet."

As she spoke, half of the ethereal mask on the girl's face disappeared, revealing her delicate and pretty face.

That was a face that was no less beautiful than Hsieh Chia-yi's, but with a completely different style.

She was Song Wanyao.

"Brother Ji is really something, he hasn't contacted me even once in so long, I wonder how things are going with my sister."

"My sister is a hopeless romantic, all she does is talk big. They probably haven't even kissed yet. Hmm... how about we give them a little push?"

"Let me think... If my sister were with him right now, what could I do?"

I've got it! The suspension bridge effect.

When men and women are in a crisis, they may mistake the feeling of tension and heartbeat for love. Isn't this a great way to promote their relationship?
Of course, the key is to keep the danger under control, to ensure that nothing serious happens to the two people.

"Trespassing on research institute grounds! Kill!"

A security chief with A++ level capabilities charged forward, armed with a weapon.

He is the most capable person in the entire research institute, so he must step forward immediately when a major crisis occurs.

"boom!"

With overwhelming strength and speed, Song Wanyao crushed the enemy, pressing a deep crater into the alloy floor.

"I haven't encountered an opponent in a long time since the 'Arrancar' appeared. Oh, by the way, according to a certain power ranking system, I'm S-rank, right?"

Song Wanyao smiled sweetly.

With a single, forceful movement, he crushed the epic-level defensive helmet in the opponent's hand, and his eyes met the opponent's.

I won't kill you, but I need your help with a small matter.
