The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1333 - 815: Temporary Madness: Motorcycle Syndrome
"Your mind is still not focused enough."
After two minutes, the Mind Flayer shook its head and said.
"Indeed."
Liu Zheng admitted frankly.
As far as the mind goes, he was just an ordinary person—not particularly focused, nor particularly scattered.
"Normally, I would guide you slowly into a focused state, but since you don’t have time, I have to resort to certain means. Do you prefer a quick effect or a painless one?"
The Mind Flayer asked.
"Quick effect, please."
Liu Zheng said.
He thought of a saying in reality: traditional medicine is effective, while Western medicine works quickly.
In fact, some Chinese medicines are not only effective but also fast-acting because they contain more active ingredients (such as acetaminophen, glibenclamide, etc.) than Western medicines.
As you can see, his mind wandered again as he thought about it.
"Alright."
The Mind Flayer nodded, placing a tentacle on Liu Zheng’s temple.
"Please continue to imagine a piece of fruit."
It said.
"Okay."
Liu Zheng began to imagine a durian again.
Speaking of that colleague who smoked, she sings quite well, especially when singing Jin Wenqi’s songs...
"Zap!"
His brain was lightly shocked, and in the reflexive shiver, the colleague’s singing voice gradually faded away.
"Wow, the effect is indeed quick, and indeed intense."
Liu Zheng couldn’t help but think.
"Zap!"
Another electric shock followed.
Under both his active and passive control, his mind finally became focused, and the imagined durian manifested on the Mind Flayer’s tentacle.
"The durian shell is undamaged, which indicates your soul barrier has not suffered external damage."
The Mind Flayer said, looking at the durian’s appearance.
Then, a flash of blue-purple light appeared in its eyes, the durian shell became translucent, revealing the fruit inside.
"The pulp is not mushy or discolored, indicating your soul core is healthy and not decayed."
"However, the fruit chamber on the right side is shorter than the left side, indicating that a part of your soul core has been removed."
The Mind Flayer continued.
"I know about that, it’s fine. Besides, you can’t treat it."
Liu Zheng said.
This part was probably taken by the Red Ghost.
"Alright. Then the last problem is, there’s almost no pulp in your fruit chamber, indicating that your soul power is nearly depleted. Under such circumstances, a normal person would have become a vegetative state, yet you can still act normally. It’s truly a miracle."
The Mind Flayer admired.
"There’s no other way, having an Artificial Body is quite something."
He shrugged.
High-end artificial bodies generally have self-sustaining systems, and the Extreme Fury Asura is the high-end of the high-end.
Even if Liu Zheng really became a vegetative state, as long as his connection with the Extreme Fury Asura wasn’t severed, he could still control his actions, albeit with slower information transmission.
"Since the situation has been clarified, the subsequent treatment is simple. Please follow me."
The Mind Flayer shot a purple spiritual light from the tip of its tentacle, immediately creating a hidden door at the spot on the wall that was hit.
Liu Zheng followed it into the hidden door, inside was a space similar in size to the outside.
However, unlike the modern office decor outside, the space inside the hidden door was a cavern filled with moss, mushrooms, and other underground plants.
And at the center of the cavern was a pool about ten square meters in size, filled with clear light purple liquid.
"Normally, the treatment process takes about two hours or more. To save your time, I can accelerate the process, but the violent treatment may be quite painful. However, because your soul resilience is very good, it should leave only minor side effects. Can you accept that?"
The Mind Flayer asked.
"What is soul resilience?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"You can simply understand it as a comprehensive reflection of the soul’s immunity, recovery, and defense capabilities."
The Mind Flayer said.
"What do minor side effects include?"
"There are too many types for me to enumerate, but I can assure you they won’t significantly affect your work and life, and the side effects will disappear within two to three days."
"Can the treatment process be staged?"
He asked again.
"Yes, but if you cannot complete the treatment in one go, the effect of the previous treatment will quickly fade, and it will be completely ineffective within 24 hours."
The Mind Flayer replied. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
In other words, if he came for treatment once a day, it would be as if he had only been treated once.
"Alright, I’ll accept it."
Liu Zheng said.
He didn’t really have a choice; he couldn’t come for treatment with every single job, that would waste more time.
"Alright, please enter the pool."
The Mind Flayer said.
"Directly? Do I need to take off my clothes?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"No need. It’s not actual liquid, your clothes won’t get wet."
The Mind Flayer shook its head.
"Alright then."
Since it said so, Liu Zheng walked into the pool.
Sure enough, as the Mind Flayer said, he didn’t feel like entering the water, but rather like stepping into mist.
"Please take three deep breaths."
The Mind Flayer said.
Liu Zheng complied and took three deep breaths, and after exhaling the third breath, he felt like something was opened inside him.
He perked up his ears, and it seemed like there were many sounds in the surrounding mist, but he couldn’t hear any of them clearly.
"Are you ready? I am about to speed it up if you are prepared."
The Mind Flayer’s voice came from outside the mist, seeming to pass through layers of barriers, becoming very faint, but fortunately still audible.
