Chapter 78: Savior
"That means you're here to give Li Qi psychotherapy treatment, right?" The light glowing from Lina's body became even brighter upon hearing this. "Of course I'm willing to help, but what else can I do aside from talk to him?"
"Do you know where he is right now?"
"Around this time of day, he's usually in the forest beside the school. There are a few trees that he always goes to in the forest, and he just stands there and stares into space."
Adam nodded in response. Li Qi was a very important focal point in this mission. He was displaying strong suicidal tendencies, and that indicated that he was regularly harassed by that emotional anomaly.
"You're a friend of his, right? Have you ever seen him with an anoma... I mean, a bad woman who looks like a nun?"
Lina nodded in response.
"I've seen that nun before. She's constantly talking to Li Qi whenever he's alone."
"What does she say to him?"
"She tells him that he's a murderer, that he killed his own mother. She says that no one likes him, and that his father abandoned him, so his mother was forced to raise him on her own, but he repaid her by killing her. She also tells him that all of the kids at school are scared of him, and that they talk about how he's a murderer behind his back. She also says that no one will ever love him, and that..."
"Alright, I get the idea," Adam interrupted with a nod. n0vELusb.c0M
In reality, these hurtful words from the anomaly all stemmed from Li Qi's own guilt, confusion, and fear.
"How have you been helping him?"
"Whenever I see that bad nun, I would chase her away. I would yell at her and tell Li Qi that I'm his friend, that he shouldn't listen to that bad nun."
"And the nun hasn't ever attacked you?" Adam asked with a puzzled expression.
"She's scared of me, but I'm not scared of her!" Lina declared as she puffed out her chest to show off her courage.
She's a savior!
Certain concepts related to psychic bodies emerged in Adam's mind. It was very clear that this little girl was a savior. This concept was different from that of the superhuman Deranged Pig from Kim Garcia's psychic world. The golden superhero form of Deranged Pig fell into the category of "guardian". Saviors weren't particularly fearsome in battle, but they had their own special uses.
"Can you take us to find Li Qi?"
"I can, but my dad's very strict, and he doesn't want me to hang out with Li Qi."
It seemed that in the real world, Lina's father was rather opposed to the idea of Lina keeping someone like Li Qi company.
Indeed, there were many cases of mentally unstable individuals harming their friends, so the concerns of Lina's father were far from unwarranted.
However, having witnessed Li Qi's psychic world, Adam knew that he was a good child at heart.
"How about this? You go upstairs, and we'll pick you up from there."
"Alright."
After arriving at an agreement, Adam and his group pretended to leave the farm, but they didn't go very far before turning back. Nie Yiyi sprang up to the second floor as light and graceful as a sparrow, then imitated a birdcall to alert Lina to her presence before carrying her out through her window.
After jumping back down onto the ground, Nie Yiyi took Lina somewhere far away from the farm, where several monstrous creatures were waiting for them.
The group of monsters consisted of a twin-headed werewolf, an automaton with a human face, and a massive mummy.
If they were in the real world, Lina would've definitely been extremely frightened by the sight of these things, perhaps even to the point of tears. However, they were in Li Qi's psychic world, and these manifestations of Li Qi's memories only abided by very abstract systems of logic and recognition.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the robot from before."
Hook withdrew his head into his stomach cavity as he spoke, adopting his automaton form again.
"I'm the one who was speaking to you earlier. We had to transform so we can help your friend beat up that bad nun."
"Ohhh, I see. That nun is really strong. I've seen her kill people before," Lina said. "There was another group of psychotherapists just like you, and one of them was killed."
"Were you there at the time?"
The footage that was provided to Adam had been cut short, and he hadn't spotted Lina at the scene.
"I was, but I was unable to stop her," Lina replied in a guilt-ridden voice. "Make sure you don't get too far away from me. If you're not close to me, I won't be able to scare that bad nun away."
"Alright, we'll keep that in mind."
After taking a moment to gauge the situation, the team slowly made their way to the farm area into the town of Ash under Lina's guidance, and sure enough, they found Li Qi in the forest behind the school.
Coincidentally, not only was Li Qi in the forest, the anomaly was also there, and it was murmuring incessantly to him.
In her werewolf form, Shae's senses were greatly heightened, so she was able to hear what the anomaly was saying.
"You think those people are here to help you? Perhaps... Perhaps they're here for money, or perhaps they really do want to help you. If they're here just for the money, then it doesn't matter, but if they really are good people, then wouldn't it be a tragedy if they died? Do you remember those people from last time? The one who ended up dying was the one you liked the most, wasn't he? He was so gentle when he spoke and he had similar life experiences to yours. What a pity that such a good person died for trash like you. You've already killed your own mother, and now, you're indirectly responsible for his death as well. You were born to bring death and suffering to all those around you..."
As the anomaly continued to whisper to Li Qi, the injuries on its body were quickly healing, and even its anomalic power was becoming more and more potent as black mist swirled all around it.
"Don't listen to her!" Shae hurriedly interjected as she charged toward the anomaly with her companions.
"Don't be reckless! Make sure to keep your distance!"
Adam called out to the two companions beside him as he charged toward the nun anomaly. There were only two companions left as Hook had already found somewhere to hide. When it came to self-concealment, Hook's skills were unmatched.
Back when Adam fought the anomaly of fear, the entire battle had passed by without Adam ever finding out where Hook had hidden himself. Only after the battle concluded did he suddenly return, seemingly out of thin air.
This time, the same situation was unfolding once again. As soon as the battle began, Hook immediately managed. However, in his current state, Adam no longer needed Hook's assistance in battle, so he actually preferred to see Hook avoiding battle from the get-go.
"I'll go in and test the waters!"
Nie Yiyi decided to charge ahead despite Adam's words of caution. She was here for training to begin with, and fierce wind immediately swept up all around her, allowing her to accelerate to the forefront of the group before lashing out at the nun anomaly.
The nun anomaly opened its mouth up wide, and a huge mass of putrid sewage emerged out of thin air, instantly nullifying the oncoming blades of wind on contact.
The anomaly displayed no fear of Nie Yiyi, rushing toward her in retaliation before Adam and Shae had a chance to surround it.
While charging toward Nie Yiyi, the nun's withered arms extended out of its sleeves, and its inky-black nails elongated all the way until they were in excess of half a meter in length before being swiped viciously at Nie Yiyi.
