Chapter 91 The World'S Correction
Although her anger had been fully vented on the man in the raincoat, it was impossible for her to feel not even a shred of dissatisfaction towards Si Chen.
But when Si Chen’s wistful voice was followed by a photograph, Chi Xiaocheng’s rationality returned.
In the photo, Si Chen stood bare-chested, his sturdy back deeply carved with four large characters: 'Never Love Tao!'
Of course, the handwriting was rather ugly, the strokes crooked and wobbly, as if he had nearly carved the wrong characters.
This couldn’t help but remind Chi Xiaocheng of Si Chen’s previous words about carving characters to show his loyalty.
She had thought it was a joke and hadn’t paid it any mind.
She never expected this guy would actually do it.
He was an ordinary person, without a skill like her pain reduction.
With such a compelling display of devotion presented, Chi Xiaocheng lowered her head in thought.
The psychologist beside her had witnessed everything. When Chi Xiaocheng looked up, the doctor offered a gentle smile. "The young master is quite busy, so he entrusted me to discuss Miss Chi’s subsequent diagnosis."
Chi Xiaocheng temporarily set aside the matter of Si Chen and sat on the sofa with the doctor.
The doctor spoke first, "My surname is Lin, you can just call me Doctor Lin. Young Master Si has already informed me of your situation."
Chi Xiaocheng blinked, cautiously asking, "Everything?"
Doctor Lin smiled faintly and nodded. "Yes, everything."
As she spoke, she glanced at Fang Ning, who was cleaning up the bright red chicken blood that had splattered when Chen Kun slaughtered the chicken for fun, and subtly gestured with her eyes.
Chi Xiaocheng said, "No need to be discreet, let’s just talk directly. You said the diagnosis is in three days?"
"Yes." Doctor Lin nodded. "This is the time Miss Su Tao set. At that time, a diagnostic report will need to be submitted to Miss Su Tao, you understand."
Chi Xiaocheng naturally understood.
Su Tao wanted the psychologist to assess if she could still be 'cured'.
And what she had to do was tell Su Tao that she was beyond help!
"I’m a yandere, darling Tao Tao. You can only obey me, appease me, love me, and become my one and only."
"Otherwise, something very bad might happen to me."
She told Doctor Lin, "Regarding the report, please write it to be quite severe. It would be best to say I have something like dissociative identity disorder, with a 99% probability of being untreatable."
Doctor Lin looked at Chi Xiaocheng and nodded. "You want Miss Su Tao to think you’re beyond saving."
"Yes."
Doctor Lin: "I’m familiar with yandere cases. If I need to diagnose a specific type, what type would you prefer?"
"Dependent and possessive, I suppose. Currently, these are the two types I’m portraying in front of Tao Tao."
Doctor Lin seemed to ponder, gave Chi Xiaocheng a second look, then nodded gently.
Out of the blue, she asked, "Miss Chi, do you think a yandere would know they are a yandere?"
"Of course, a yandere wouldn’t know they’re a yandere."
Chi Xiaocheng answered almost instantly, full of confidence.
Afterward, she chatted with Doctor Lin for a long time, especially asking many questions related to psychological knowledge, before Chi Xiaocheng contentedly saw her off.
She enriched her own knowledge of psychology; acting as a medical professional, she would have more grounds to convincingly deceive Su Tao.
Si Chen, though a bit too pragmatic, was still reliable.
Provided she had enough leverage to keep him bound to her cause.
However, one point left Chi Xiaocheng somewhat conflicted.
"System," she said, "why is it that sometimes my 'darkening' skill doesn’t activate when I try to perform it, but it does activate when it’s related to Tao Tao?"
The System, hearing this, perked up.
[Host, are you starting to feel that you’re a bit abnormal?]
"I’m perfectly normal." Chi Xiaocheng rolled her eyes, speaking in her mind. "I’ve summarized my experience with Ye Liang last time. I originally thought it was Ye Liang’s male lead aura suppressing me, and only after Tao Tao’s female lead aura offset Ye Liang’s aura could I trigger the darkening skill."
[Uh... then Host, what do you think is the reason?]
"It’s because my relationship with Tao Tao improved, and I didn’t just rub off on her female lead aura, I also altered the world’s trajectory. I was originally just a cannon fodder supporting character, but now my character’s importance has increased!"
"Naturally, Tao Tao’s female lead aura also accounts for a large part of it, which is why I can only activate my darkening when she’s mentioned. That makes sense, doesn’t it?"
This time, the System uncharacteristically did not reply immediately.
Instead, it slowly spoke after a long moment.
[Host, I believe one point you made is very valid.]
"So you agree with my theory?"
[I am referring to the point about your character’s importance increasing.]
The System’s words left Chi Xiaocheng somewhat baffled. The activation of her darkening skill this time, no matter how she looked at it, seemed to be due to the female lead’s aura, right?
Si Chen mentioned Su Tao, which was why the anger she had acted out could successfully activate the darkening.
Before Su Tao was mentioned, the acting she put on when facing the man in the raincoat couldn’t conjure even a flicker of anger.
However, the System’s focus wasn’t on the darkening, but on the man in the raincoat.
[Host, you know that male leads Dongfang Yang and Si Chen, who are currently leaning towards you and the female lead Su Tao, have sent bodyguards to protect you nearby, correct?]
"That’s right, what about it?"
[Even the villainous supporting character Chi Song was called back by you, and given how much he values you, it’s impossible he wouldn’t have people watching inside the complex.]
With the System’s hint, Chi Xiaocheng quickly reacted.
That’s right, Dongfang Yang had said he was afraid she’d continue to be bullied and had sent two bodyguards to stake out the perimeter.
Her brother also said he left his subordinates near the house.
There were security guards at the entrance, and many residents in the complex.
That man in the raincoat, he just walked unimpeded into her home?
Chi Xiaocheng frowned, immediately went to the complex’s surveillance room, and asked the old security guard to pull up the surveillance footage for her floor.
The old security guard let out a puzzled sound. "That’s strange. The complex just had its security equipment maintained last month. All the broken cameras were replaced, and new ones were added. Yet the cameras at your door and on the first floor are both broken."
Upon checking, the other surveillance cameras showed no trace of the man in the raincoat.
Some cameras he couldn’t avoid were simply broken!
Chi Xiaocheng couldn’t believe that the man in the raincoat was a top-tier hacker who would hack the surveillance system while committing a crime.
The old security guard said, "I’ll go take a look at what’s going on with the cameras."
"I’ll go with you."
They returned to the corridor outside her door.
The cameras were physically damaged.
The specific reason was unclear.
Suddenly, Chi Xiaocheng felt a chill run down her spine, a sensation of being targeted.
[Host, you must understand something now, right?]
Chi Xiaocheng took a deep breath, slowly vocalizing her guess. "This world… is trying to erase me?"
[Accurately speaking, it’s rejection and correction.]
[Su Tao is the sole female lead, and Ye Liang is one of the male leads with a significant role. Yet, through your own methods, Host, you caused the two who were supposed to be together to break up and even sent Ye Liang to the hospital, greatly altering the original plot.]
[And this man in the raincoat, he was likely correcting the world’s progression.]
She was a transmigrator, an anomaly after all!
But for Chi Xiaocheng to follow the original plot?
Absolutely impossible!
"System, is there a way to solve this?"
A trace of unease settled in Chi Xiaocheng’s originally relaxed heart.
And the System, which she had always called useless, responded unequivocally this time.
[There is!]
