Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 423 He also wants to thank us

Hearing this from afar, Jugglus Juggler almost laughed himself off the telephone pole.

Goodness, they managed to cover this up? Did Queen Amaterasu even know about this?
Lin Yu ignored the reactions of others and began his PUA therapy on his own.

"Think about it, the Tree of Life descending to Earth will inevitably attract powerful enemies. Queen Amaterasu knows this well, and she fears that the enemies will track you down through the spiritual link between you and harm you, an innocent Earthling."

"So, she had no choice but to painfully sever this connection. It's not that she's ignoring you; she's silently protecting you in her own way!"

"She...she did this to protect me?" A light rekindled in Xiangping's eyes, a complex light that mixed with emotion, guilt, and sudden realization.

"Yes."

Lin Yu's expression was utterly sincere. "She has sacrificed so much for you, shouldn't you show the same backbone? Shouldn't you strive to improve yourself, to become strong enough that one day you can stand before her with dignity and tell her, 'I no longer need your protection. Now, it's my turn to protect you'?"

"Instead of doing this, crying and wailing here like a piece of trash, making her worry about you and feel ashamed for you on the distant planet Ganon!"

These words completely shattered Shohei's last line of defense.

So that's how it is!

Her Majesty the Queen doesn't dislike me; she's protecting me!

And here I am, wallowing in self-pity, which has disappointed her!
I'm such an idiot!

"What...what should I do?" He looked up at Lin Yu as if he had grasped at the last straw.

"Stand up." Lin Yu's voice brooked no argument.

Shohei struggled and got up from the ground.

"Very good." Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Now, do you see the streetlights over there?"

He pointed to a street lamp a hundred meters away.

"Run there, then run back. At your fastest speed, for ten minutes straight. If you can't even do this little thing, then don't mention Amaterasu's name again, because you don't deserve it."

"Yes!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiangping immediately got into position and charged out.

Takayama Gamu and Nishioka Yui were completely dumbfounded.

Is that... all done?
One second a heartbroken young man contemplating suicide, the next he transforms into a passionate and energetic athlete?
Isn't this treatment process... a bit too hasty?

"I know it's hard."

Lin Yu's voice rang in Xiangping's ears as he ran, like a devil's whisper, "But this is an order. Every time you feel like you can't hold on any longer, think about why Queen Amaterasu left you. Think about her good intentions, think about her expectations."

"Think about your frail body, how can you be worthy of her noble status?"

"Run! Don't stop! Your sweat will become the ladder to your future reunion with her."

Shohei's pace visibly quickened.

He was exhausted; his lungs felt like they were on fire, and his legs felt like they were filled with lead.

However, just thinking of Queen Amaterasu's gentle yet firm smile, and of his own efforts to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, filled him with inexhaustible energy.

Lin Yu leaned against the tree trunk, arms crossed, watching the scene with satisfaction.

He gestured with his lips to Jugglus Juggler and Kainu beside him.

"See? This is called treating the symptoms. For guys who are obsessed with love, lecturing them won't work. You have to turn what they care about most into the fuel that drives them forward."

Kai nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Jugglus looked like he'd seen a ghost. He felt that when it came to manipulating people's hearts, he was still a novice compared to his master.

"I predict that with his average stamina, he'll only be able to run for ten minutes at most before collapsing," Lin Yu said confidently, glancing at his watch.

Ten minutes passed.

Shohei was still running, his speed showing no signs of slowing down.

Twenty minutes passed.

Shohei was still running, and a happy smile even began to appear on his face.

Thirty minutes passed.

Shohei kept running, muttering to himself as he went.

"Queen Amaterasu."

The smile on Lin Yu's lips gradually froze.

He watched the figure running tirelessly under the moonlight, seemingly on drugs, occasionally letting out a lewd laugh, and his lips twitched violently.

I'll blanch it...

These love-struck creatures... are truly amazing!

This illness is quite serious! It's practically terminal!
Fortunately, the outcome was good.

He successfully restructured and formatted Shohei's thought process.

Missing the Queen = I'm not strong enough = I need to work harder to improve myself.

[Lack of ambition = unworthy of the Queen = I need to work twice as hard]

[Effort = Meeting the Queen = I'm full of motivation]

A perfect closed loop, flawless.

Lin Yu looked at the man who had been completely manipulated and crippled by his own manipulation, and clapped his hands with satisfaction.

"Alright, another one cured. My medical skills are getting more and more refined."

Watching this scene from afar, Jugglus Juggler silently shivered.

He made up his mind that he would never make his master angry again.

He had no desire to experience this dual torment of mind and body.

What if he really got slapped into a stupid mess like Kai? His life would definitely end like that, right? (Sad)
That's terrifying. It's even more terrifying than facing a hundred monsters.

Under the moonlight, Shohei, who was running nonstop, was quickly stopped by Yui, because as soon as he stopped, exhaustion washed over him like a tide.

"I've figured it out."

He leaned against Yui, his voice hoarse and forlorn, "I understand now. As a man, I must strive to become stronger."

He clenched his fist, a resolute glint in his eyes.

But the light lasted only a moment before quickly fading away.

"But... I'm just an ordinary Earthling, I don't have your kind of power, what... what can I do?"

The password is correct.

The server could not be connected.

A deep sense of disappointment appeared on his face.

That distant planet Ganon, that noble queen, were ultimately unattainable dreams for him.

Lin Yu looked thoughtfully at the symptoms of the sudden weakening of the treatment.

It seems that his goal was set too far ahead, far beyond his current actual ability, causing his newly established confidence to begin to collapse and leading him to give up.

That won't do; I can't let my own personality correction therapy leave any aftereffects.

He turned to look at the high mountain I dream.

"I dreamt, I remember, that the planet where the Tree of Life is located would subject all life forms that come into contact with it to a minor baptism of life evolution, right?"

Takayama Gamu nodded, raised the communicator on his wrist, and a faint light shone out, scanning Shohei on the ground.

“Yes, his brain activity... is very strange.”

Takayama Gamu looked at the data displayed on the screen with a somewhat surprised expression.

"Because he had direct contact with the seed of the Tree of Life before, his pineal gland was unusually active, and the transmission speed of his neurons was far beyond that of ordinary people. If he were to receive targeted development and training, in the future... he might really become a superhuman in some sense."

Shohei, who was lying on the ground, suddenly perked up.

I...I'm not an ordinary person?

Do I have hope?

He raised his head, and a flame reignited in his dim eyes.

Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Very good. My "personality correction palm" technique, combined with subsequent psychological counseling and scientific verification, has finally solidified the therapeutic effect.

He could foresee that as long as Shohei Moriwaki hadn't yet developed any warp drive spaceships, or even mastered Qi cultivation and reached the point where his physical body could traverse 70,000 light-years of starry seas, he would always remain an optimistic, positive, and self-challenging young man.

As for the day in the future when he actually builds a warp drive spaceship through his own efforts, or even breaks through the void and ascends directly to Ganon...

What does that have to do with Lin Yu?
Isn't that all something you achieved through your own hard work? I just helped you correct your slightly skewed personality by using a gentle "Ultraman brainwashing" method to bring you back to a normal way of thinking.

I didn't erase his memories, much less shatter his personality.

I, Lin Yu, have done something truly great!

As Takayama Gamu watched this surreal scene, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He was very curious, extremely curious about how Lin Yu had managed to do it. That kind of precise grasp and guidance of people's hearts was even more profound than his quantum physics.

But he didn't dare ask.

He was afraid that Lin Yu would smile and say, "Want to learn? I'll teach you. Come on, try out the whole treatment yourself first."

The thought of that possibility sent chills down my spine.

He decisively changed the subject and began to discuss with Lin Yu the energy characteristics of the Tree of Life and the enemies that might appear later.

After some discussion, as dawn was breaking, everyone decided to disperse for the time being.

With Yui's help, Shohei stood up.

He walked up to Lin Yu and bowed deeply.

"Thank you! I understand. I will work hard to improve myself, and one day, I will face her with my head held high!"

The obsession and fanaticism that had been there before were gone from his face. Instead, there was a radiance that had settled down and was called "goal".

This kind of goal is a bit too abrupt.

After saying that, he and Yui turned and left.

After walking for a while, Yui suddenly stopped and asked Shohei to wait for her where she was.

She jogged back to Lin Yu and bowed solemnly once again.

"Thank you so much! Actually... he's already become who he is today, which is already very, very good!"

Yui had a relieved smile on her face.

“Before, he always seemed absent-minded, and even… the hospital diagnosed him with schizophrenia. Now, no matter what, he's much better than before. I misunderstood you before, and I'm very sorry!”

Lin Yu waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry about it.

Watching the girl's departing figure, Jugglus's lips twitched again in the distance.

Kai, standing next to him, suddenly realized what was happening and patted his face.

"Look, Jugglus, she's even thanking her master!"

Jugglus's lips twitched.

Am I the only one who finds this abstract?
Kai, you too! Your brain doesn't seem to be working properly either!
