"Are you ready? Ye Ying, remember the method, don't be nervous, come on, you can do it!" Psychologist Lei Wei said in a gentle, encouraging tone.
Ye Ying nodded silently, took a deep breath, and walked into the holographic image simulation and restoration chamber.
This was Ye Ying's fifth psychological assistance treatment. A month had passed since she was sent back to Xianxia City.
In Ye Ying's heart, she couldn't wait for Gu Ya to return and help her resolve her psychological trauma. For Gu Ya, and for Xianxia, she had to actively accept treatment.
Although the treatment process was painful, Ye Ying did not hesitate for a moment.
Standing in the familiar treatment chamber, Ye Ying took a deep breath and nodded to the monitoring equipment in the corner.
Gradually, the holographic images began to appear, and the surrounding scenes started to change.
Ye Ying closed her eyes, recalling the scene of the village massacre in her mind.
When she opened her eyes again, she was in the jungle in the central part of Yadaya.
Suddenly, the roar of mecha engines came from the sky, getting closer and closer, and then a dozen mechas whizzed overhead!
With the help of medication, Ye Ying's breathing became more rapid. The scene before her was so real that she began to distinguish whether she was in the treatment chamber or in Yadaya.
The sound of mecha battles could be heard in the distance, with loud explosions occurring one after another.
Ye Ying stumbled forward in a hurry. Her mecha had been destroyed, and she was unarmed, but she had to save the villagers!
Susan Lei, who treated her like a younger sister, and those simple, kind villagers were being massacred by the Holy Coco organization!
But Ye Ying was still a step too late. When the dozen Holy Coco organization mechas flew away, the village had been thoroughly destroyed.
More than fifty villagers were gathered in the open space in the center of the village, brutally murdered.
Ye Ying cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. At this moment, she completely believed that she was in Yadaya, and that she was still that young girl of only 16.
Among the piles of scattered corpses, Ye Ying found Susan Lei, who was on her last breath.
A large hole was ripped open in her abdomen, and the unborn fetus lay dead in Susan Lei's arms, connected by a bloody umbilical cord.
Susan Lei's lips moved slowly and with difficulty, forcing out a smile as she said, "Ye Ying..."
"Revenge! Sister! I want revenge for you!!!" Ye Ying cried out, her voice choked with emotion.
Susan Lei's eyes had become hollow. She clutched Ye Ying's hand tightly and said, "No! That boy who treated you the best has already avenged me."
Suddenly, Susan Lei's eyes became firm. Spitting blood foam, she said with difficulty, "Ye Ying, don't hide anymore. Use your own strength to shatter those overwhelming negative emotions! Carry my bravery and strength with you! Live hard and well! Don't be defeated by the rage of revenge again."
"Sister!!!"
"Live well! For the one you love!!!" Susan Lei trembled, and with a painful yet firm cry, she uttered her last words, her hand loosening as she died.
Ye Ying knelt on the ground in despair, her eyes vacant as she stared at the sky shrouded in smoke.
In the sky, the smoke gradually transformed into Susan Lei's frank, optimistic, and bright face.
Ye Ying gradually remembered how kind and cheerful Susan Lei had been, how she had inspired everyone around her.
But after Susan Lei's death, the fire of revenge in Ye Ying's heart gradually twisted the past beauty. Susan Lei's frankness and optimism gradually twisted into wanton debauchery.
Now, looking at Susan Lei appearing again in the sky, all the darkness in Ye Ying's heart dissipated simultaneously.
In the sky, Susan Lei, half of whose body was formed from the smoke, chuckled, scratching the back of her head, "Sister! Sister is leaving!"
"Are you really leaving?" Ye Ying asked dazedly.
"Yes! It's always so stuffy being inside your body! I'm going to find my husband and my unborn baby!"
"From now on, if you miss me, have a drink of Waggen wine for me! Haha, bitter and spicy, that's what sister loved most!"
Reluctance appeared in Ye Ying's heart again. She wanted to desperately hold onto Susan Lei, but the Susan Lei in the air gradually dissipated.
Finally, she left behind the most radiant smile in the world, transforming into brilliant sunshine, bathing Ye Ying.
A sense of emptiness suddenly appeared, but immediately, it was replaced by a warmer feeling.
Ye Ying felt that Susan Lei had left, yet it was as if she had truly merged with her soul!
It was her genuine nature and bravery that had returned to her body!
Suddenly, a little girl in a white dress with silver hair and white eyebrows appeared before Ye Ying.
"Bai Ying?" Ye Ying looked at the little girl and said dazedly.
Bai Ying nodded and said softly, "It seems you've found a better way to compensate. I apologize, as I lack human emotions, I didn't consider everything when creating Susan Lei's personality. It caused you so much trouble."
Ye Ying smiled faintly, shook her head, reached out to embrace Bai Ying, and said gratefully, "No, I want to thank you. You saved my life."
Bai Ying gave Ye Ying a blank look, her body gradually becoming ethereal as she said, "I need to go back to sleep."
When Ye Ying's eyes cleared again, the holographic display in the treatment chamber had disappeared, revealing its original silvery-white metallic color.
Ye Ying slowly stood up. She suddenly felt that she was different now from when she had first entered the treatment chamber.
It was as if a more steadfast belief was warming her.
It was a kind of love, indescribable yet constantly emanating.
The door of the treatment chamber was gently opened, and psychologist Lei Wei walked in, tears in her eyes. She lightly clapped her hands for Ye Ying, smiling with relief and saying, "Well, the treatment was very successful. The Susan Lei personality in your body, representing revenge and darkness, has disappeared, replaced by sunshine and love."
Ye Ying let out a long sigh, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and nodded gratefully at Lei Wei.
Indeed, the violent, dark, and promiscuous Susan Lei of the past was gone.
And the real Susan Lei sister had warmed Ye Ying with her love. Ye Ying would carry that with her and continue to live.
Lei Wei said, "For the next few days, we will conduct consolidation therapy. We might still experience immersive simulations a few times, but don't worry, just face them bravely."
Ye Ying nodded silently. She was no longer afraid of seeing scenes of hostages being killed; she would face them with her own true courage.
"Um... after the consolidation treatment is over, it will be Anayi's personality."
Ye Ying felt her eyes sting again. Anayi was the protector of life and had never done anything to harm Ye Ying.
Letting Anayi die was more painful than killing Ye Ying herself.
Lei Wei walked to Ye Ying's side and comforted her, "Don't worry, everything will get better. Anayi is also a part of your body, just like Susan Lei. They guarded you with their lives."
Ye Ying nodded firmly and said, "Yes, Dr. Lei, I will cooperate with the treatment and recover soon."
