As someone who prioritizes killing others, I'm forced to stream a death game.

Chapter 122 A reasonable process does not yield a reasonable result

Enlightenment means having the attitude of being able to give up everything for the sake of a goal.

But given this premise, what should one's own purpose be?

Is it about finding the ultimate goal that you are willing to fight for your whole life?

Maybe not.

No, I should say, it's okay if it's not.

As long as there is a "purpose", there is an anchor point.

On a mental level, the deepest psychological defenses will not completely collapse.

It won't be so easy for the strange creature to infiltrate.

In addition, he had already cultivated the "Contemplation of Self" method to a minor level.

Yao Qing's mental defenses were naturally stronger than those of the average person.

Therefore, after the initial hesitation, she quickly came to her senses.

Start making tough decisions and confronting your inner vulnerabilities.

A vibrant red color filled Yao Qing's field of vision.

She used the basic knife skills she had only recently learned with great proficiency.

Even though it was his first time slashing someone, he didn't feel much of a stir in his heart.

Also.

Isn't the scene before us a little too real?

People I knew before, people I've only recently met, former colleagues, friends, and relatives who have long since passed away.

It felt as if the figure had truly appeared before me.

But no matter how true it was, Yao Qing knew—

Everything before our eyes is nothing but an illusion.

"Stop using their faces—!"

Yao Qing slashed horizontally, splitting the scene in front of her in two.

Large amounts of black, viscous liquid kept gushing in from the cracks.

These liquids clung together and eventually transformed in front of Yao Qing into the multi-legged black monster she had seen before.

Realizing it couldn't exploit its prey's weaknesses to defeat it, the monster was forced to confront it head-on.

then.

Then there was no one left.

Although it was only her first real-world combat experience, Yao Qing's actions were decisive and ruthless.

She had already witnessed Liu Ren's many battles.

Even if he didn't steal Liu Ren's swordsmanship, he did learn the "momentum" that Liu Ren displayed in battle, which was different from usual.

This momentum is also a component of combat power.

By immersing your mind in the process, it's easy to achieve a state of "flow."

In layman's terms, it means the "feel" has improved.

It was as if divinely inspired.

Yao Qing was in this state at that moment.

A mere low-level monster poses no threat to her whatsoever.

Soon, the monster was defeated and captured.

Forced to parasitize Yao Qing's body, he lost all his freedom.

"How about it?"

For Yao Qing, a long time has passed.

For the people outside, only two or three seconds had passed.

One second Yao Qing was a monster that resembled a human.

The next second, the excess flesh and tissue on her body began to disappear rapidly.

Yao Qing became more and more human-like, and eventually completely recovered to be human.

When she came to her senses, she found that six pairs of eyes were staring at her.

It was as if they wanted to see her through everything.

"It feels...not bad."

Yao Qing clenched her fist, and she could clearly feel that she could borrow the power of something within her body.

The manifestation of that force was extremely strange and bizarre.

Moreover, it has a strong visual impact.

But there is no denying that it was indeed power.

Even without deliberately borrowing it, Yao Qing has already stepped into the threshold of "extraordinary".

Ordinary people, even world-class boxers, would not be able to beat her physically.

"It looks like it was successful."

Liu Ren then set the tone for Yao Qing's situation.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the first time someone in his team had attempted to enter the realm of the supernatural.

If he fails, not to mention the time and effort he has spent in training Yao Qing.

This is a significant blow to morale.

A successful start is certainly a great achievement.

"Congratulations!" Yan Ling and Liang Nian clapped their hands in congratulations.

Yao Qing's success gave the two of them some confidence.

"So, what exactly does it feel like to enter a ghostly state? You looked like you were in a lot of pain just now," Fang Qian asked hesitantly.

She has suffered many injuries due to practicing swordsmanship.

I consider my pain tolerance to be pretty good.

But Yao Qing's behavior just now clearly exceeded the scope of "being able to tolerate".

“Pain is inevitable, after all, that thing has actually penetrated my body,” Yao Qing replied. “However, compared to the battle in my mind, pain is just the first hurdle.”

"A battle within the mind?"

"When the monster invades your mind, it will bring out all the things you fear most and make you go through them one by one, while eroding your mental defenses. If you can't withstand it at this time, you're doomed."

"What are you most afraid of? What is it? Insects?"

"Everyone is different, I guess. I won't talk about mine for now." Yao Qing had no intention of bringing up her past in front of everyone.

She looked at Liu Ren: "Is this mission a complete success?"

"Okay, we can call it a day now." Liu Ren nodded. "It's about time. Let's have lunch first, and then we'll do another mission this afternoon."

Liu Ren usually divides a day into two parts.

Now that Yao Qing has successfully entered the ghost realm, only two people remain in his team.

Back outside the construction site, Ding Chen greeted him excitedly: "How did it go? Did you find that monster?"

“It’s all taken care of. You can go back and report,” Liu Ren said. “Also, it seems there’s more than one mutant in the area you’re in charge of, right? After you go back, investigate the whereabouts of the other mutants and give me the results by 1 p.m.

"Yes!"

Because Liu Ren's manner of giving orders was so practiced, he exuded the aura of a superior.

This caused Ding Chen to instinctively stand at attention and salute, while giving a firm and resounding reply.

On the way back, the two groups separated.

Ding Chen returned to the police station, while Liu Ren led his team to get some food.

Yao Qing, who was driving, looked at Liu Ren, who was slumped in the passenger seat as always, and hesitated to speak.

"Just say what you want to say." Liu Ren glanced at her speechlessly. "Why have you become so effeminate?"

"I am a woman, okay?!" Yao Qing retorted, a little agitated.

"I mean their style of doing things... So what exactly is it?"

"..." Yao Qing paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you investigated that case?"

"which one?"

"It's related to a drug trafficking gang, the one I've been investigating for several years."

“Oh, I have seen that,” Liu Ren replied. “But there’s nothing to see. Most of the clues that needed to be cleared have already been cleared up, so there’s nothing to find.”

"...Do you think so too?"

"I'm just stating the objective facts—if we continue to investigate according to the standard procedures, we'll never find anything in this lifetime. If you want a satisfactory result, then you're destined to be unable to use 'reasonable' means."
