The second world: The academic overlord and his little plasticine doll. (16)

On the way back, Chu Shici gradually figured it out.

Dr. Chen tried to gain Mingzhe’s trust, so that he gradually took off his guard and showed his wounds to outsiders.

As a result, Dr. Chen used the treatment as an excuse to repeatedly tear at his wound and constantly put pressure on him.

He is naturally cold on the outside and hot on the inside. This is just his character, but it has been distorted into a disease.

Mingzhe was very vigilant, and Dr. Chen took advantage of his vigilance to constantly stimulate him and force him to react. It deepened his uneasiness and drove people who were not mad to madness little by little.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a low-end version of PUA*.

*(pickup artists)

If this continues, Mingzhe will gradually become sensitive and inferior from his original self-confidence and arrogance. In the end, he lost himself and was completely manipulated by Dr. Chen.

Chu Shici didn’t know what Dr. Chen wanted to do.

To say that he is a paedophile, but he did not attack Mingzhe when he was a child.

Right now, Mingzhe is 1.8 metres tall, with a handsome appearance and a mature voice. No matter how you look at him in appearance, he is not a child.

Even if he is gay, it is not very likely that he will be able to get on with Mingzhe.

Dr. Chen and Mingzhe’s sense of boundary is very clear, and the contact in these two days has only been kept within the most normal range.

Chu Shici observed that Dr. Chen did not take advantage of the doctor-patient relationship to deliberately create an ambiguous atmosphere. Compared with a boyfriend, he positions himself more like a year-end friend.

Although they chatted online for a long time, they actually only met twice.

Even if Mingzhe didn’t verbally reject Dr. Chen, being forced to have frequent and forced physical contact with strangers would still make him feel uncomfortable. This is an instinctive reaction of human beings.

Every time he refused to contact, Dr. Chen would emphasise that he was abnormal. Under the pressure of the original words, he further used his instincts to instil false ideas in Mingzhe.

Chu Shici couldn’t figure out why Dr. Chen tried every means to destroy Mingzhe’s mind, but he only felt that his senses were tingling around this man.

This person surnamed Chen has no good intentions.

Dr. Chen sent Mingzhe home all the way tonight.

Grandma was still asleep, and when she saw a guest coming, she immediately took out the cake at home to entertain him.

Dr. Chen told his grandma about his identity, and gave a rough outline of Mingzhe’s condition.

Grandma wiped away her tears and insisted on stuffing Dr. Chen with a bag of eggs before letting him leave.

After Dr. Chen left, she took Mingzhe’s hand and said distressingly: “My dear grandson, you have to listen to the doctor. We have to see the doctors when we are sick. Don’t be afraid of the doctor. Grandma still has money here. Dr. Chen has helped you for so long, you should thank him well.”

The elderly don’t understand what it means to be concerned about a patient’s feelings.

Knowing that Mingzhe was ill, she was very worried and kept talking about it.

Mingzhe stood at the window, watching the vehicle slowly leave the community.

He narrowed his eyes and caught the little Superman who had been flying around in front of him.

“Ge, I know you want me to stay away from him. It’s okay, you don’t have to worry.”

Mingzhe paused, and a mocking smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, “He’s been playing with me for so long, now it’s my turn.”

At the same time, a notification sound came from the system space.

[Increase the vitality value by 3, and the current vitality value is 79 points.]

Chu Shici was not immersed in the joy of being about to become a living person.

He thought that no matter how calm and rational Mingzhe was, he would feel sad after discovering Dr. Chen’s true face.

So he even has tissues ready, waiting to wipe his tears at any time.

He stared at Mingzhe in a daze.

At this moment, the person in front of him completely coincided with Su Zheyan in his memory.

His lover is just an ordinary student in this world, but the soul under the fragile skin was once an imperial general who commanded an army.

___

Dr. Chen is going to hold a one-month exchange meeting in City Z.

Mingzhe still did not take the initiative to contact him as usual.

But when Dr. Chen asked him out, he would always agree.

A few times ago, Dr. Chen took Xian Ningning to play together.

After Mingzhe no longer resisted going in and out of the closed place with him, Xian Ningning was kicked out of the small group.

That silly girl didn’t realise what was wrong at all, she just thought that Dr. Chen was too busy recently and didn’t have time to go out with them.

Mingzhe would be called away every few days.

Dr. Chen, who has always been gentle and considerate, seems to have forgotten the heavy workload of high school students.

Every time Mingzhe goes home, it is eleven or twelve o’clock in the evening.

In the end-of-month quiz, Mingzhe fell from first place in the grade to tenth place in the class.

The teacher was very disappointed with him, and some people in the school rumoured that he had an ambiguous relationship with his deskmate, so Xian Ningning was transferred to another position.

Mingzhe lost his only friend and had no one to communicate with at school.

After returning home, grandma would ask him how his condition was and told him to listen to the doctor.

Dr. Chen squeezed into Mingzhe’s life and completely wiped out his small social circle. The only person he confides in is Dr. Chen.

After the results of the year end quiz, Mingzhe dropped two places again.

At ten o’clock in the evening, Dr. Chen called.

“Xiao Zhe, I heard from Ningning that your grades have dropped drastically.”

Chu Shici glared at the microphone.

Trash, at this time, you still haven’t forgotten to bring up the relationship between Xian Ningning and Mingzhe.

The phone was turned on speakerphone, and Mingzhe put it aside.

While sewing small clothes for the little plasticine figurine, he hummed lightly.

“What happened?”

“It used to be the first in the grade, but now it is the twelfth in the class and the thirty-three in the grade.”

A man’s long sigh came from the phone.

Mingzhe paused for a moment before making a soundless laugh.

He said softly, “I’m sorry.”

“You don’t have to apologise to me. On the contrary, I want to say sorry to you. Do you feel tired and unable to concentrate recently? It may be that the depression is serious again. Don’t worry, I’ll try to ask for a leave. I will go to your house on Saturday, everything depends on you, when do you have time?”

Dr. Chen seems to give Mingzhe the power to choose.

But in fact, the date and place are all decided by him in one sentence.

The two booked a Saturday afternoon treatment in Mingzhe’s bedroom.

Dr. Chen chatted with Mingzhe for a long time, and he didn’t hang up the phone until he heard Mingzhe’s suppressed sobs faintly.

Mingzhe put the phone aside.

Chu Shici watched the whole process, raised his head and asked him, “Do you think he will approach you tomorrow?”

“No, within this month, he won’t.”

“Then why did he find the opportunity to be alone with you?”

“The exchange meeting is over, and he is leaving City Z. He will want to meet in person, put pressure on me, and judge my psychological state so that he can proceed with his next plan.”

Chu Shici was a little worried.

Ever since he found out that Dr. Chen was up to no good, Mingzhe began to toe the edge recklessly.

He did not sever contact with Dr. Chen, but took the initiative to walk into the trap and lure Dr. Chen out step by step.

Chu Shici changed his position and thought about it, if Mingzhe was replaced by him.

Then he would probably kill Dr. Chen with a stick after discovering the abnormality, and open a skylight for Dr. Chen’s brain.

Dr. Chen can go to hell, he can go to jail.

Mingzhe is not that brutal.

His idea was very simple, he just wanted to give Dr. Chen a pair of silver handcuffs.

___

At two o’clock in the afternoon on Saturday, Dr. Chen came to Mingzhe’s house as scheduled.

He closed the door and drew the curtains, making the bedroom a completely closed space.

Just as Chu Shici guessed, Dr. Chen started verbal suppression again.

For the current Mingzhe, the most painful thing is the decline in learning.

He is used to being number one and is the number one in the high school entrance examination. Slight performance fluctuations have a great impact on him.

Dr. Chen chatted with him for a total of three hours. During this period, his mind wandered from time to time, and his voice was not as gentle as usual.

He gave Mingzhe another psychological test and told him that his condition was serious.

Mingzhe proposed to go to the hospital for treatment, but Dr. Chen didn’t speak, just looked up and looked around the bedroom.

Finally, he sighed softly, “Forget it, let me treat you. Going to the hospital for long-term treatment costs a lot. And how do you ask the school for leave, saying that you are going to treat mental illness? I’m worried about your school…”

What Dr. Chen said was vague, but the meaning was clear.

This is implying that Mingzhe goes to the hospital for treatment, and the school will persuade him to dismiss him.

Moreover, Mingzhe couldn’t afford to hire another psychiatrist. If he wanted to get out of the current predicament, he could only rely on him.

When it’s time for dinner, Mingzhe proposes to cook by himself.

Dr. Chen declined, “It’s rare to see each other. Of course, we have to go out for dinner to have a sense of routine.”

When Mingzhe’s grades did not decline, Dr. Chen took him to high-end restaurants.

This time he randomly found a snack bar on the side of the road, and didn’t say a word to Mingzhe the whole time, just looked at him quietly.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was oppressive, and Mingzhe became restless.

The two confronted each other for a long time, Doctor Chen patted him on the shoulder, looked away and let out a long sigh.

The male student, who had always been expressionless, gradually had reddened eye circles.

After getting along for so long, Mingzhe took the initiative to say for the first time: “I’m sorry, I let you down.”

Too strong anxiety tore up his calm appearance. He bit his lower lip, tears slowly falling down.

When Mingzhe lowered his head, Chu Shici, who was lying on the table, saw Dr. Chen’s eyes flicker.

The originally gentle smile suddenly became extremely ferocious and distorted.

After parting from Dr. Chen, Chu Shici jumped out from Mingzhe’s collar: “He smiles so disgustingly.”

Mingzhe, who was still wiping tears just now, has recovered his composure.

“Smiled? That’s good. But it will take a few more months before he will approach me.”

“What is he going to do to you? Force you to commit suicide?”

“Tomorrow he will leave City Z, and he will come here today to give me the last psychological hint, implying that he is very disappointed in me. My social network is already poor, and he has become my only remaining friend. A decline in grades will bring me various problems. Peer pressure. Some people who were beaten down by me will take the opportunity to make fun of me.”

Mingzhe played with the doctor doll he made by himself.

“The friends I met on the Internet in the past all regarded Dr. Chen as a great benevolent person. My confidant channel has been completely blocked by him, and contacting him is my only way out. This time when he returns to R province, he will not take the initiative to contact me. He’ll wait and only text me when he thinks I’m about to collapse.”

“Remote psychological suggestion, further torture. After I take the initiative to tell him that I am going to commit suicide, he will come from R province to ‘rescue’ me. When there is no one around, he will completely tear off the disguise and crush me , forcing me to jump off the building in front of his eyes. He would end up crying to the police and admiring my death, just like he forced the last boy to his death.”

The more Chu Shici heard it, the more chilled he became.

“If you’re fishing like this, you won’t really give in to the act right? How about this, I’ll fly over and blow his brains out.”

Mingzhe was taken aback, and frowned: “You want to kill him?”

“It’s okay to beat him until disabled, I don’t ask too much.”

“It’s against the law.”

Chu Shici flew in front of him and turned around, “I’m not a human being, can the law control me?”

The speech of this outlaw lunatic made Mingzhe laugh.

Chu Shici tried to shoot a laser, thinking that it could punch a hole in Dr. Chen’s head.

He was about to show off when he was suddenly pinched by slender fingers.

Mingzhe held the little plasticine figurine, “Don’t go, I don’t want you out of my sight. He can’t hurt me, you are enough, I don’t need him at all.”

He paused, and repeated in a deep voice: “Ge, you are my most important person. Don’t go out to take risks, and don’t leave me.”

The system prompt sounded again in space.

[Increase the vitality value by 5, and the current vitality value is 57 points.]

Chu Shici: …

What’s the use of rising so much, it’s only useful for Mingzhe’s vitality value to rise.

He touched the tip of Mingzhe’s nose, and raised his head expectantly: “You need to work hard! I’m counting on you.”

Mingzhe: ?

___

Just as Mingzhe expected.

Provincial high school is a key high school, and students here care about grades very much.

He slipped down from the first place in the school, and everyone who was usually jealous of him came to mock him.

Xian Ningning became the class monitor’s deskmate, and the two had a very good relationship. Although she still misses a friend like Mingzhe, she can’t help but neglect him.

If another person is excluded and isolated by the class, he will feel distraught.

Mingzhe is different, he only has his plasticine figure in his eyes.

Dr. Chen’s plans are roughly the same as he expected.

The two toed the edge, predicting each other’s movements.

Playing the game of cat and mouse thousands of miles away through the mobile phone, played for half a year.

Chu Shici was tired of waiting.

To ask him what he thinks, beating him up is the most direct solution.

He can fly over at any time, shoot Dr. Chen’s head into briquettes, and leave an unsolved case for the police that is rare in a thousand years.

On Christmas Eve, Dr. Chen, who was far away in R province, received his most wanted gift.

Through the phone, Mingzhe’s voice could be heard with unconcealable exhaustion.

He was on the verge of collapse, and with a slight push, he could be completely destroyed.

Dr. Chen calmed his emotions, and flew to City Z overnight.

It was Christmas noon when he came.

Grandma Mingzhe went to the Christmas performance with the elderly song and dance troupe, and Mingzhe was the only one at home.

Mingzhe opened the door, and outside the door was Dr. Chen.

Chu Shici scratched the insides of Mingzhe‘s pocket and looked out secretly.

Dr. Chen didn’t say a word when they met, and stretched out his hand to wrap around Mingzhe’s shoulder.

Mingzhe seemed to be stimulated, his body stiffened for a moment, he tried to hold back when he wanted to push him away.

He pursed his lips tightly, his expression was very calm, but he was in a trance.

Chu Shici discovered that Mingzhe was very talented in acting.

Very cunning and is especially good at pretending to be pitiful.

It’s been like this since he was a child, and he pretends even more after he grows up.

Obviously this is Mingzhe’s home, yet Dr. Chen walks in like he owns it.

He forcibly grabs Mingzhe’s arm and drags him into the bedroom.

The door closes again, and the room becomes extremely quiet.

Dr. Chen didn’t speak, he sat beside Mingzhe and observed him quietly.

The long silence made the atmosphere even more strange.

Ten minutes later, Dr. Chen said slowly, “Do you want me to help you?”

Chu Shici had already flown to a hidden corner and set up his mobile phone to record the whole process.

The Kitty detective who had been in private contact with him was also dragged onto the boat by him. On the other end of the earphone, listening into the movement here.

Kitty still has to go to work, so if he listens to the phone alone, it means that the entire criminal police team is also listening.

Chu Shici hid behind the phone and looked out.

Under Mingzhe’s deliberate temptation, Dr. Chen forced him to the window.

The man’s usually gentle face became extremely distorted.

“You want me to persuade you not to commit suicide? Don’t dream, I wish you could jump off the building quickly. Why do you think I put so much effort into treating you? No, of course it’s to see a joke.”

Mingzhe leaned against the wall, he muttered in a daze: “Dr. Chen…”

Dr. Chen interrupted him, “Aren’t you very smart, so many experts in the gang can’t catch you. But I can, a bunch of them can’t catch you as prey. But I did it. I am stronger than them all.”

He took out his mobile phone and waved it in front of Mingzhe’s eyes.

On the screen is a row of phone numbers.

“There are seven people here, there are men and women, they are as smart as you. They are calm, rational, and they are all gifted children. Even so, aren’t they all being played around by me as well!”

“What I hate the most is unfairness. Why are you all born smarter than others? Why am I not as good as a genius when I also try my best!”

Mingzhe didn’t say too much, but kept stimulating Dr. Chen’s nerves step by step with restless eyes and an expression of inferiority.

These are not enough.

Dr. Chen is very skilled, it must not be the first time he has done this kind of thing. Mingzhe spent half a year laying the groundwork, and now he only has to bring out the dark side of Dr. Chen’s heart.

Doctor Chen stared at Mingzhe, and after a while, he chuckled.

“The thing I like to do most in my life is to turn a proud wolf into a begging dog. Look at this, a few years ago, she was the provincial number one in the college entrance examination, and several universities competed for her. She used to be a genius in biology. Now she is the hostess of the nightclub.”

“This ten-year-old boy won first place in the National Mathematical Olympiad and skipped high school. Before committing suicide, he cried and begged me, saying that I was the only one left for him. I lied to him that I was interested in him. In the end, he was willing to sleep with me. Two men? He’s disgusting.”

Those psychiatrists who joined criminal gangs couldn’t even deal with these kids who he was able to deal with.

Dr Chen is very accomplished.

He has worked hard for more than three years, and now the prey has been captured.

He watched Mingzhe leisurely, waiting for him to fall over the window and fall into a pool of rotten meat like the boy before.

Mingzhe, who had a look of despair just now, suddenly calmed down.

He wiped away his tears expressionlessly, looked down at Dr. Chen mockingly, “I’m fine, but you are really sick.”

All of Dr. Chen’s skill points were focused on mental attacks.

It was just a moment of stupefaction, and Mingzhe pushed him to the ground.

Dr. Chen was stunned for a long time, “Are you okay? How can you be okay?”

“The most important step in your plan is to gain the trust of the target. But I have never trusted you from the beginning to the end. You are too anxious to close up the net, Mr. Chen.”

___

The criminal police watched the whole process on the phone, and there was video recording at the scene, so Dr. Chen didn’t even have a chance to argue.

Mingzhe has been playing with him for more than half a year, just to let him relax his vigilance completely.

The police in City Z have launched an in-depth investigation based on Dr. Chen’s social circle.

The seven people in the mobile phone were called away by the local police respectively. The police will contact them with a psychiatrist, but it is still unknown whether they can completely get rid of Dr. Chen’s shadow.

Dr. Chen ruined the futures of seven people, forced a boy to death, and tried to force Mingzhe to commit suicide.

When Chu Shici chatted with Kitty, he got a general understanding of Dr. Chen’s situation.

Dr. Chen is a very ordinary person.

He studied tirelessly, but he was only admitted to a university with a low rank. If he relaxes even a little, he can’t keep up with the progress of his peers.

Dr. Chen’s life is full of mediocrity. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t change the status quo of mediocrity.

When the back wave hits the front wave, he will always be the one who gets beaten.

The younger brothers and sisters who are several years younger than him either climbed ahead of him or made achievements in the field of psychology.

Although he is a member of the Psychological Association, he has always been a foil.

Those people didn’t bother to communicate with him, because he didn’t make any name in this industry.

He’s like a clown among the elite.

Originally, Dr. Chen would live an ordinary life peacefully, but the appearance of a boy made his life take a different path.

The boy was ten years old, skipped a grade to junior high school, and suffered school bullying and domestic violence.

He is very smart, knowing that he has a psychological problem, he took the initiative to go to the hospital to find a doctor. It was Dr. Chen who saw him.

Not only did he see that the boy was severely depressed, but he also recognized him as the champion of the National Olympiad Competition reported on the news, and also the number one in the composition competition.

Not surprisingly, after a few years, he will definitely be a talent that top universities will be vying for.

The boy is very dependent on him and actively cooperates with the treatment, hoping to get help.

Dr. Chen looked at the boy who was in the news headlines, “How many hours do you study a day?”

“In addition to going to school, I study by myself for three or four hours a day. Because I have to help the family sell goods, otherwise I will be beaten. I don’t have much time to study, and my family expects me to help them out more with work.”

Dr. Chen didn’t pay attention to the following words, he only noticed the “three or four hours”.

He studied desperately, but he could only get the participation award in the competition.

Why did this person have the right to take the first place when he puts in much less effort?

In the process of treating the boy, Dr. Chen discovered that he is a genius.

In order to recover as soon as possible, the boy went to study psychology by himself.

In one treatment, it was pointed out that Dr. Chen used improper words. That noun was indeed a slip of the tongue by Dr. Chen, but he couldn’t stand being educated by a ten-year-old.

He looked at the boy who was talking eloquently in front of him, and an idea came to his mind.

Why are some people born with extraordinary talents, and why all the hard work can’t compare with the word genius in the end.

Dr. Chen is fed up with mediocrity and has no ability to improve himself.

But he can use the knowledge he has learned to destroy these geniuses who shouldn’t have stepped on his head.

The boy has an empty and clever mind, but it is as clean as a piece of white paper. He trusted his doctor with all his heart, so he died very quickly.

Dr. Chen only resorted to tricks and forced him to commit suicide.

Seeing the boy’s body covered with a white cloth, he felt that his life had ushered in a bright light.

He is inferior to these people in terms of achievements, but he can drive them crazy little by little.

Let the once unattainable proud son of heaven wag their tail at him, a clown, and destroy their future by begging for mercy.

Dr. Chen is like an addict, collecting winners of various competitions and investigating their personal information. According to their general family situation, infer what they have experienced.

Get closer to them step by step, and mentally control them.

This process is time-consuming and labour-intensive, and basically has zero income and high risk.

But after brainwashing a female Ph.D. to volunteer to be a hostess, he felt that he had found the meaning of life.

This strange spiritual satisfaction, like a drug, fascinated him.

The female teacher who was supposed to be gentle and confident became sensitive and inferior, and finally bullied the students in reverse.

Let the former provincial college entrance examination champion, college dropout addicted to gambling, be intimidated and threatened by debt collectors every day.

People in this era don’t understand what mind control is. As long as you understand psychology, Dr. Chen’s methods will be obvious.

He ruined the lives of the favoured ones after another, watching them completely lose their brilliance, fall into the dust and never get up again.

At that moment, Dr. Chen felt that he had become a more dazzling existence than a genius.

Dr. Chen and ‘I Continue to Be Lonely’ are college classmates.

A few years ago, the criminal group had just been established.

“I continue to be lonely” invited Dr. Chen to be a technical guide together, but Dr. Chen sternly refused.

At this time, he already had two ‘like-minded’ companions, and the three cooperated with each other.

The purpose of Dr. Chen is to watch the genius fall.

Xiao Liu and his friends hope to get a piece of the pie.

When encountering male targets, they partner to defraud them of their money and use them as a source of money. When you meet a woman, you start off by cheating them off money and sex.

Dr. Chen saw Mingzhe’s information in “I Continue to Be Lonely”’s contact.

He was a child, had no money, and was a man.

Xiao Liu and the two were not interested, and only Dr. Chen approached him.

In Mingzhe, Dr. Chen saw the shadow of the boy. The difference is that Mingzhe is smarter and more confident than him.

Over the years, in order not to be discovered, no matter how hard he pushed, he would never let those people commit suicide. As long as there is no accident, the police will not notice.

But Mingzhe is different.

Doctor Chen wanted to see him jump down in front of his eyes with despair like the boy back then.

After many years, Dr. Chen wanted to experience the original ecstasy again.

___

When Kitty learned about this, Chu Shici only felt a chill.

The police determined that Dr. Chen was not mentally ill, but that he was a psychopath and an antisocial personality.

The other victims have been dealt with by the local police.

Originally, Kitty wanted to introduce Mingzhe to a doctor in the police force, but Mingzhe refused.

He’s doing fine and doesn’t need therapy.

After returning home, Mingzhe stood by the window, watching the scene downstairs quietly.

Chu Shici knew that he was praying for the dead boy.

Mingzhe was silent for a long time, then suddenly said softly: “Ge, I want to enter the police academy.”

Chu Shici sat on his hand, raised his head and waited for him to continue.

He didn’t hear Mingzhe’s voice, but he waited for the news of the increase in vitality.

[Increase the vitality value by 5, and the current vitality value is 84 points.]

The system saved enough money a few days ago and ran out to buy a house.

It has a self-service function, and after detecting that the value reaches the standard, it will automatically start the big transformation.

Before Chu Shici had time to react, he only felt his eyesight change rapidly.

Mingzhe has just found his life goal, and is thinking about how to work hard in the direction of a criminal policeman.

Suddenly he felt his body sink, but in the blink of an eye, there was a big living person in his arms.

Mingzhe looked blankly at the man in front of him.

His Ge… turned into a human?

___

T/N: Please don’t be like this Chen dude here. It’s okay to be mediocre. Though it is okay to be envious of others’ achievements, it’s human nature anyways, don’t let it consume you. Maybe you have something that others admire too. Just live your life, enjoy the life that is your own. Don’t need to compare yourself against others, it’ll just make you unhappy. Not worth it.
