"——Theodore, your treatment has caused emotional overload in many people. The Dawn system has determined that you are not suitable for this job. You are fired!"
With a cold and stern sentence, a briefcase was thrown out. Lu Shu had a gloomy face and left the psychological counseling office holding the bag.
He wanted to get into the gap. He thought that if he continued to stay in this position, he could at least help Su Mingan a little, but now he doesn't even have a job...
"I have provided counseling for 78 cases, 56 of which were cases of emotional deterioration and 17 were cases of direct emotional overload. You are truly a talented psychological counselor." He heard a colleague's laughter as he passed by the tea room.
In just five days, the mood of half of the patients deteriorated... This was the first case in a hundred years, and the extent of the failure will go down in history.
“Get lost.” Lu Shu left the tall building in a very bad mood—was he really that bad at talking?
He memorized every word of what Su Mingan said about the strategies to capture the NPCs. He explained the Lighthouse Theory to the criminals one by one these days, so why didn't the criminals be reformed?
He stood blankly at the traffic light at the intersection, watching the pedestrians coming and going.
The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and fried chicken chops wafted through the air, the lights of the CCTV Tower twinkled like stars, and children with schoolbags were jumping around on the street... This familiar city scene reminded him of his life on Zhai Xingshang.
Before his home was burned down by fire, he lived in a small city. He went to temple fairs and parks, studied in school, went shopping in shopping malls holding his parents' hands, and witnessed the bustling lights of the city at night.
After nine years of education, he never went back to school, but he clearly remembered Zhai Xing's daily life, every street in the small city... and every day he spent with his family.
He lowered his head and rummaged through the briefcase in his hand, where various psychological report papers were piled together.
...He looked dazed, as if he saw the medical notice that the doctor handed him on the day he became an adult in the past.
...He once counted his falling hair in front of the mirror, just like counting the few days left in his life on the calendar.
He was unwilling at the time. He didn't want to die. He wanted to avenge his parents, but humans were helpless in the face of such a disease. He could only accept his fate and returned to the city where he attended junior high school.
In that huge city, he didn't know how to use a mobile phone or scan codes to pay. Everything in modern society seemed out of touch with him who had lived in the suburbs for a long time.
He had no money, no acquaintances, and could only hide in the bridge hole when it rained and hold the black knife to sleep. When it was sunny, he would stand in the open space to practice swinging the knife. Later, he found an unfinished building to survive and made money by teaching some rich second-generation children how to use the knife.
During that period, he was most confused and hated his powerlessness. All night long, he could only dream of his deceased parents and buildings burning in the wind and rain. After waking up, he could only feel that his health was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't even lift a knife.
Even if he died of illness, he didn't want to stop breathing on the bed like a zombie. If he wanted to die, he wanted to die with the knife.
He vaguely knew why Measurement City arranged for him to be a psychological counselor. He did have a serious mental illness. The teacher had looked for his parents for this, but his family was conservative and didn't know much about it, so he didn't receive treatment.
The replica arranged such an identity for him... Was it mocking him? Mocking his fragmented first half of life? Or mocking his possible sad fate in the future?
He doesn't know.
He only knew that such misfortune was not enough to crush him.
As he was about to die, the world game began.
He wandered blindly through the first half of the first world, planning to continue his previous life after the year was over.
Of course, if I could face the situation head on, return to Zhai Xing, find out the truth and take revenge... that would be best.
But can the World Game heal his body that is on the verge of collapse? Can he hold on to the end under the rule that everything is reset to zero upon death? Can he, a young man who is being targeted, rise up amid the threats?
If you can't get anything, it's best not to have too much expectations from the beginning.
…
...Then in the first world, he, who had almost nothing, met Su Mingan.
Many people told him that the man was called - [Player No. 1].
[Player One] means the strongest - the strongest in the world.
Lu Shu suddenly realized that if the other party was the strongest, then his vision, his motivation to live, his purpose of revenge for his family... would it be finally fulfilled?
He heard the other party's theory of grading and spotlight.
That theory... was almost exactly the same as what his most respected elder, his deceased grandfather, had said.
His family has almost blind faith and obedience to their elders.
At that moment... he suddenly realized that he had found a way to survive.
In such a huge, blind city filled with mediocre people.
In such a hopeless, peaceful life where you can see the end at a glance.
He found companions who could go with him.
No matter how much others say he licks, how much he looks like a dog, or how jokingly others describe him, he doesn't care about the world's gaze. In this life, people are supposed to find a reason to live.
He has found it.
In his and that person's eyes——
It's clear that they all have the determination to die.
[Don't be nervous...Su Mingan, the first player. I am attracted by your theory. ]
【so what? 】
[I decided to follow you. I like people who always have the future in mind. I like you and I think you deserve to be my light.]
