Chapter 248: Chapter 247: Diving

Xiao Nan didn’t mind Li Changhe’s terrible words but took off his Demon Armor and looked into Li Changhe’s eyes.

"Don’t do anything stupid... you’ll die." Her words were laced with a rare sternness.

Li Changhe’s body stiffened slightly. Had Xiao Nan figured out his plan to contact the Tianyan Association? Was this what they called a woman’s sixth sense? Too sharp, isn’t it?

It was just a thought, even the Symbiotic Body, Yun Ting, didn’t notice it. How come Xiao Nan knew about it?

Li Changhe himself didn’t notice any changes in the Extraordinary Cause and Effect. Naturally, he didn’t know that the "Funeral Bell" almost killed him.

"Promise me." Xiao Nan didn’t mention the shadow she just saw but kept staring into Li Changhe’s eyes.

"Alright, I promise you." Li Changhe’s expression was somewhat bitter as he sighed in reply.

Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Li Changhe’s character well; if he promised something in this situation, he would definitely do it.

The two simply looked at each other, feeling each other’s breath. Their faces gradually approached.

.....Wet and slippery, so soft

Two minutes later, Xiao Nan lay back on the other side, her ears red.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Let’s talk about..."

"To talk about children’s names, we have to do the deed first. I’ll visit the parents in the Capital during the New Year." A certain immobilized guy complained bitterly. It’s such a pity that such a good atmosphere is ruined by having both hands injured!

"I’m talking about your Psychological Framework problem." Xiao Nan’s ears were still a bit red, and after a light cough, she asked, "Have you ever dived?"

"...Yanyun doesn’t have that sort of odd job. I’ll go look for it next time?" Li Changhe didn’t understand the connection between the Psychological Framework and diving.

"It’s just a metaphor," Xiao Nan replied. "Everyone’s Psychological Defense will be breached. No matter who, everyone has a scene in their hearts that they are least willing to remember. Even the Fantasy Species have psychological vulnerabilities. Of course, most of them have some resistance. When facing mental attacks, they can recover in a short time."

"What’s the connection with diving?"

"Even if they’re all divers, plunging to the same depth in the same sea area, the residual pressure will not be the same due to their experience. Staying at the bottom of the sea, the residual pressure will eventually return to zero. You can think of that as a breached Psychological Defense."

"Consider the Fantasy Species as those skilled divers; they can maintain residual pressure for a longer time through their skills and experience. And those with low Psychological Framework can be considered as rookie divers whose residual pressure drops quickly."

Li Changhe nodded silently, understanding.

Psychological defenses will be broken.

At that time, one will enter a state of chaos, madness, or fear. Many [Players] plan to attack when their opponents fall into such states.

Tie Xiong was the same during that time, except he encountered Li Changhe, the manual bomber. In a fit of rage, he bombed the forest into ruins.

This time, [Sun Halo] became an extraordinary Soldier by accident. His fighting consciousness and style became even more terrifying, and he counter-killed those [Sun Halo Players].

Otherwise, Li Changhe wouldn’t have been able to execute the White Mist Tactic calmly in that state of fury.

And when facing this method, the general response is to have a Psychological Defense.

Self-hypnosis or exercise of will, facing fear, alright...

This is tantamount to diving.

Li Changhe is like a novice who has just come into contact with diving.

He Feng self-hypnotized and had a high energy level, which made him an amateur. As a result, he woke up earlier than Li Changhe.

If Li Changhe also had this level, he could have avoided the train head at the time. As a result, He Feng wouldn’t have sacrificed himself to save him.

"I dragged him down." Li Changhe muttered.

"Everyone has psychological weaknesses. Even those Class A ghosts have them. Governments around the world use this to seal and keep them dormant." Xiao Nan said, "This method is also a common [Player] cooperative tactic. According to the information my teammates told me, the [Sun Halo Player] who attacked you should have been a high-energy person in the team. He focused on attacking your psychological defenses to make you hesitate or be confused. His teammates executed the attack."

"If you think about it, it would be deadly if we encountered this during a fight."

"During a battle, it’s actually more difficult to affect. It’s usually used for sneak attacks." Xiao Nan shook her head and said, "Otherwise, being confused for a second or two during battle is enough to die several times over."

During battles, mental attacks don’t have much effect? Li Changhe nodded slightly.

"And we, the [Great Wall], have been...since Zhu Hou’s sacrifice, our hearts began to focus on strengthening the Psychological Framework." There was a brief pause when Zhu Hou’s name was mentioned.

"Zhu Hou had been saved from the disaster area at that time, and he had no resistance to the starving people affected by the disaster. That was his psychological vulnerability. He originally had the [Great Wall Combat Cloak] and thought he didn’t have to worry about mental attacks. But he ignored this point. Fortunately, we have now started to strengthen the Psychological Framework."

Li Changhe nodded silently. He owed Zhu Hou a life. Now he owed the [Great Wall] two lives. When would he be able to repay them?

"So, I can only strengthen my Psychological Framework to avoid being tricked. Do I have to give myself self-hypnosis or face the shadows?" Li Changhe looked at Xiao Nan and asked, "As a [Holder], your psychological vulnerability is..."

"You underestimate me. I’ve already overcome those memories... As long as you don’t have an accident, I won’t have any vulnerabilities." Xiao Nan replied softly.

It seemed that the girl was much stronger than he had imagined. She was the real victim.

But he had become her weakness...

The feeling was uncomfortable. Li Changhe gathered his thoughts and took a deep breath.

"I need to get a [Special Ability] or... have the strength to challenge a [Holder]." Li Changhe clenched his teeth silently.

His left hand was recovering well, and aside from his index and middle fingers still being fixed, it was already mobile.

His right hand could only wear a cast. A complete recovery would take a long time.

In this case, meeting the Earth Knight would have to wait for a while. At present, Li Changhe had no combat power. If he relied solely on the [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers], it would be a waste of energy.

Xiao Nan brought Li Changhe to her home considering this situation. Compared to [General Mountain], she was more confident in her abilities.

It’s true. With a [Holder] around and other [Great Wall Players] nearby, Li Changhe was very safe.

But it felt a bit odd.

As Li Changhe looked at the food in front of him, the feeling of peculiarity became more apparent.

Now, Li Changhe, with both hands disabled, sat at the dining table. Xiao Nan was still picking food for him.

"You..." Yun Ting’s voice rang in his head, wanting to complain, but she couldn’t find the right words.

"Enough. The doctor said my stomach is bad, and I’m suited to eating soft rice, okay?" Li Changhe gritted his teeth in response.
