Chapter 1364 The Madman of the Psychological Society
"Fluvoxamine...I've never heard of that name before."
Lin Yu frowned slightly upon hearing Lao Zheng's words.
He was quite familiar with the high-ranking members of the Psychological Society—after all, although the identity of 'Schreber' had not yet been officially incorporated into the Psychological Society, 'Zhu Ming' had already infiltrated it before.
This "Fluvoxamine" is capable of creating a phone that even the technicians of "Order" find troublesome, and it can also store "spiritual power" with Lao Zheng's characteristics inside, so it is definitely not a simple character.
A guy like that is definitely not unknown.
That's why Lin Yu found it strange that he had never heard of the other person's name.
Old Zheng clearly understood this as well, so he started to think about it.
"If even you don't know, boss... does that mean she's no longer with the 'Psychological Society'?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, so... how can you be so sure that this thing must have been made by that 'Fluvoxamine'?"
When Lin Yu asked, Old Zheng didn't hide anything and explained.
"Because fluvoxamine has the ability to 'copy souls'—just like how you, boss, create clones of 'Formolo' and 'Bandura,' she can do something similar."
"Although I don't know the specifics of her methods, her principle is closer to 'copying'."
Lin Yu frowned: "Copy?"
"Yes, copying—she can copy a person's soul fluctuations to create a 'soul puppet' that is extremely similar to the person, and at the same time gain most of the abilities that the person acquired later in life."
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard about this method: "There's actually such a thing, so this phone..."
“If I’m not mistaken, the core of this phone should be some kind of container that can store souls,” Old Zheng said coldly. “And what’s stored inside… should be the soul puppets of me, the first ‘Adler’, and the first ‘Jung’, using them as a medium to use our three core abilities.”
"My mental strength, the silence spell of the first 'Adler,' the truth spell of the first 'Jung'..."
“In short, this should be the most valuable ‘prop’ of ‘Fluvoxamine’,” Old Zheng said in a low voice. “So… you’d better ask ‘gambler’ more details about how this thing was ‘seized’.”
Lin Yu nodded: "I see. So what kind of guy is this 'Fluvoxamine'?"
Upon hearing Lin Yu's question, Old Zheng immediately had a flash of inspiration. He had been by Lin Yu's side for a long time now, and although he was still amazed by Lin Yu's imaginative actions and plans most of the time, Old Zheng could indeed predict some of Lin Yu's actions at certain times.
"Boss, you're not trying to pass off 'Fluvoxamine' as something else, are you?"
Old Zheng asked cautiously, and Lin Yu thought for a moment before replying, "If it's a good opportunity, we can certainly try to steal her identity."
"After all, this guy sounds very capable. He was a top member of the 'Psychology Society' when you were president, and now he seems to be mysterious and low-key... It would be perfect if I could impersonate him."
As Lin Yu began to speak, Old Zheng pondered, "Although I believe in your acting skills, boss, I don't think it's a wise choice to use her identity to operate."
"Because that guy has a pretty strong personality... I personally introduced her to the 'Psychological Society'. At that time, 'Bandura' didn't have the [Mind Recorder] yet, so there was no rating for her potential. But if I were to estimate, I think she's at least an A+, or even an S-level."
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "You introduced them to the 'Psychological Society'? They weren't killed by you to get into the 'Death Game,' were they?"
Old Zheng quickly waved his hand: "How could that be? I rarely kill people with my own hands... I don't do such things, boss."
"However, you did guess right. I did know her before I joined the 'Death Game'."
“Before she joined the ‘Death Game,’ she was my ‘patient’—she was a senior in high school who was bullied and isolated by the whole class, so her parents sent her to me for psychological treatment.”
Lin Yu was somewhat surprised to hear this: "That sounds pretty tragic."
Old Zheng shook his head: "You misunderstood, boss—it's not 'being bullied at school' and 'being isolated by the whole class'... it's 'being bullied at school' and 'being isolated by the whole class.'"
"Although it sounds like a joke, the reason she was isolated was that she bullied the whole class all by herself."
"This girl has severe manic tendencies. She beats up a classmate every day on average and often goes off-campus to fight with people... Have you seen 'Crows Zero', boss? Seriously, she's more like a delinquent from a Japanese manga than a high school girl from our country."
“During junior high and the first two years of high school, she was just the kind of person who was ‘hanging out with the crowd.’ Although she was a problem child, she was generally just the kind of person who gave her parents a headache. But since the second semester of her second year of high school, she has completely gone crazy. Within half a year, her parents tried to transfer her to another school several times, but they couldn’t do it, so they had to send her to me.”
"This guy believes in concepts similar to 'social Darwinism,' such as 'survival of the fittest,' 'the law of the jungle,' and 'the strong should humiliate the weak.' He's a very persistent and extreme type of person."
"After a long period of psychological counseling, I was able to improve her distorted views a little: of course, it was only limited to things like 'power through violence is not the only kind of power' and 'only by controlling one's emotions can one be considered strong.' At least it stopped her from using violence to beat up her classmates and threaten them."
"Then, after she missed two treatments and came back one day, I found that my treatment had been in vain and had even become worse than before."
"She seemed to have been convinced again that only 'violence' and 'personal force' were the sole marks of 'strength'."
"And... because killing is allowed in the 'Death Game,' she once believed that as a strong person, she could and should kill those weaker than herself."
"After testing him out, I discovered... unfortunately, this guy had become a 'player' in the 'death game'."
"After careful consideration, and with the idea of being responsible to my patients, I recommended her to join the 'Psychological Society'."
Lin Yu finally couldn't help but interject when he heard what Lao Zheng said.
"Is there any connection between 'being responsible for one's patients' and 'recommending her to join the Psychological Association'? Do you think it would be a good thing for a female high school student with bipolar disorder, violent tendencies, and a belief in Social Dassian theory to join the Psychological Association, as it would benefit her mental health?"
“First of all, boss, I must reiterate that in the early days of establishing the ‘Psychological Society,’ I also had many immature ideas, and I do not agree with my own thoughts from that time,” Old Zheng once again used emergency avoidance to declare. “Secondly… in hindsight, I was right.”
“Because of the ‘Death Game’ and the extraordinary power that exists in the Ten Realms, she became convinced that the strength of an individual’s martial arts could indeed override all social order. That’s why her misconceptions, which I had almost corrected, regained their dominance,” Old Zheng said. “But after joining the ‘Psychological Society’… she came into contact with our organizational philosophy, which is dedicated to stimulating the potential of those experts among the players. With my continued guidance, her immature, simplistic, and crude worldview quickly became much more complete.”
Lin Yu had a vague premonition. Although Lao Zheng spoke of this with a hint of pride, he had anticipated that the values that "Fluvoxamine" would develop afterward would be far removed from those of a normal person.
But he still asked cautiously, "So... what kind of viewpoint did that 'Fluvoxamine' person form?"
Old Zheng coughed lightly: "Ahem, the first thing I wanted her to rethink was... all strength and weakness in the world are relative, so she shouldn't simply divide people into strong and weak."
"She has already experienced the 'death game,' so she should know that many people who seem weak to her can also become strong under certain opportunities."
"At the same time, the Psychological Society had already begun 'trials', and she witnessed many promising geniuses fail to withstand the trials and perish prematurely—from a resultant perspective, they may have been the weak ones, but she asked herself, she could not simply regard those who failed as weak ones."
"So she quickly realized that... strength and weakness are relative, not absolute."
"Therefore, the 'law of the jungle' that she originally believed in is no longer an absolute truth—if the strong want to remain strong, they should not focus on those who are weaker than themselves, but on those who are as strong as themselves or even stronger than themselves."
"In the harsh environment of the 'Death Game,' only 'trials' will make the strong stronger."
"Therefore, instead of bullying the weak or even killing them in advance, she should give them a 'trial' rather than engaging in meaningless killing."
As Old Zheng spoke, Lin Yu fell into deep thought.
"Old Zheng... if I remember correctly, you said that you created the 'Psychology Society' in the hope of improving the overall strength of the 'players' and finding a way to get through the 'Final Trial', right?"
Old Zheng sighed: "Indeed, the current activities of the 'Psychological Society' have deviated significantly from my expectations."
"The original strategy should have been: rigorous evaluation, meticulously designed trials, ignoring the majority of ordinary 'players' and focusing on those 'players' who were truly in need of 'help' and were at a bottleneck."
"But now their methods are too forceful, too radical and extreme, and their actions are very high-profile, targeting almost all 'players'. They will cause trouble as long as you encounter them in the 'dungeon,' which really puzzles me."
Lin Yu stroked his chin: "That's the problem... Have you realized that the current policy of the 'Psychological Association' and the set of beliefs that the other person developed after you treated 'Fluvoxamine' have some similarities?"
