Lin Cen continued to explain: "The NPCs in the dungeon who have special abilities and are hostile to the player are generally called ghosts by the players. If we make a more detailed classification, they can be divided into ordinary ghosts, ordinary bosses, and 'nightmare'."

"Ordinary ghosts are nothing special, they are very common in dungeons. Some look like ordinary people, with low combat power. Some even have no mind due to dungeon settings, and attack players indiscriminately, such as zombies. Ordinary BOSS is in the dungeon. On this basis, with a certain amount of mind and thinking, the combat effectiveness will also increase, just like Xue Lan, you can regard her as an intelligent AI."

"The 'Nightmare' is a kind of high-level ghost, with complete self-awareness, most of them are sinister and cunning, and can skillfully deal with players. The 'Nightmare' has strong combat power and a high degree of freedom, but it is generally affected by different forces." There is no level of dungeon restrictions, act in accordance with the dungeon rules, and you can't kill as you please."

Love added: "Most of the ghosts in the copy are randomly generated by the game according to the needs. They are one-time consumables. They rarely have self-awareness and run according to the set program. After each death, the memory will be cleared and a new one will be given. Program, enter other copies. But if 'Nightmare' dies, it is really dead, this is the same as the player."

"There is a dungeon of 'Nightmare', the difficulty is not low, and the clearance condition is usually not to kill 'Nightmare', but a tug-of-war between players and them. In fact, the players first discovered the existence of 'Nightmare', It is because some players encountered a BOSS with similar looks and skills in different dungeons, and the other party admitted without any concealment that he was indeed the previous BOSS."

She pointed to Lin Cen, "Slowly, some high-end players gradually summed up several characteristics of 'Nightmare', and it also spread in a small range. But many ordinary players don't know the existence of Nightmare, and they don't care much about it. After all, dealing with dungeons has already made them exhausted enough, it doesn’t make any difference whether they know it or not.”

Ning Mianmian understands this kind of mentality very well. It is like if a person risked his life to work hard every day and could only earn 100 yuan to fill his stomach, without any surplus, and if he did not earn, he would die.Then what he thinks about every day is how to earn the 100 yuan, and he doesn't think about whether the thing that pays him is a human or a ghost.

And from this point of view, "Nightmare" can also be regarded as another player in the game.

Ning Mianmian slowly digested what Lin Cen and Love had said, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Fortunately, she was lucky to meet Lin Cen as soon as she came up, otherwise it would not have been so smooth.

Love smiled at her and blinked, "Most of the dungeons we participated in were relatively difficult, either the boss was a nightmare, or the rules were difficult. Now that I think about it, it really is because we are too strong." , it’s really disturbing.”

Ning Mianmian: ...

She also wants to bear this trouble.

Fluffy nodded repeatedly at the side, "That's right, I've heard about 'Nightmare' too."

Ning Mianmian was startled: "You also know?"

She still remembered that Love just said that Nightmare was summed up by "high-end players", and it was only a small-scale spread.Fluffy said that he didn't play a few times, where did he get the news?

Rong Rong nodded as a matter of course, "I am also very good... Hey, here we are."

She stretched out her finger and saw a circular two-story building standing in front of her.The exterior of the building is milky white, with an unlocked glass door and a sign next to it that reads "Student Activity Center".

Ning Mianmian and the others seemed to be the first group of people to come here. The corridor was very quiet, and the footsteps of several people echoed clearly.

This building is where various clubs in the school carry out their activities. The names of the corresponding clubs are posted on every room, and the doors are tightly closed.Through the glass on the door, the empty room can be seen.

Ning Mianmian tried to push one of the doors, and a system prompt popped up immediately:

[Extraordinary period, all club activities are suspended, please cooperate with the school. 】

A few people walked around on the first floor, found nothing, and went up the stairs to the second floor.

The layout of the rooms on the second floor is very similar to that on the first floor, except that the name of the club marked on the door is different.When she was about to reach the end of the corridor, Ning Mianmian's footsteps paused lightly.

This area is the office area for the teachers, and the two adjacent rooms are marked with "duty room" and "psychological consultation room".

Ning Mianmian looked at the words of the psychological counseling room, and immediately thought of what was mentioned in the previous file, that Zou Lingling had a serious mental illness.

In order to ensure the mental health of the students, the psychological counseling room is an essential place in every school, and Zou Lingling may have had psychological counseling here.

Ning Mianmian raised her eyes to look at the people around her, "Sister, look."

Lin Cen nodded, "Go in and have a look."

Sure enough, these two rooms can be entered at will, and several people pushed open the door of the duty room first.

The windows in the duty room are wide open, and the lighting is very good.Two spacious desks were placed facing each other. There were computers and several common office supplies on the desks.There is a bookshelf next to the wall on the edge of the table, and there are a few sparse duty notebooks on it.

Photos of seven or eight teachers are pasted on the clean white wall, framed in glass photo frames, and a brief introduction follows.Ning Mianmian looked around, and her eyes fell on one of the photos.

It was a beautiful-looking woman, about 30 years old, smiling softly at the camera.

The following introduction is: Yan Ting, graduated from C University, a doctoral candidate, a well-known psychologist, has published many works, and participated in the compilation of teaching materials many times.After staying at the school to teach for three years, he resolutely returned to his hometown and devoted himself to the education of his hometown. He is now a specially invited psychological counselor at Saint Laurent Academy.

Yan Ting's resume is very beautiful. As mentioned in the previous plot, Saint Laurent Academy has the best educational resources.

Ning Mianmian looked at the photos one by one, and found that there were no other counselors.She casually picked up a duty record book and flipped through it, and found that Yan Ting was on duty a lot, but the book only briefly wrote about the daily affairs of the duty, and there was no very detailed record of which student she had given psychological counseling to.

However, according to her experience, for a professional psychological counselor, each psychological consultation will be recorded on a specific conversation recording form.

So she came to the opposite psychological consultation room with others, and sure enough, she found a thick stack of conversation records in the drawer.Several people worked together, and quickly found all the conversation records about Zou Lingling.

Talk time: June 1

Speaker: Yan Ting

Interviewee: Zou Lingling

Conversation record: Zou Lingling is a first-year freshman and has been in school for nearly half a year.Claiming that she often feels anxious recently, I hope I can help her think of a way.

After talking with her for an hour, I found that although we had a pleasant chat, Zou Lingling seemed unwilling to open up with me, avoided many questions, and finally did not tell me the reason for her anxiety.

Before leaving, she said that she was very happy today and would come to chat with me next time.Seeing that she was in a good mood, I took the opportunity to ask her about the hexagram tattoo on her face.But she just laughed it off and said tell me next time.

Talk time: June 1

Speaker: Yan Ting

Interviewee: Zou Lingling

Conversation record: After the final exam, Zou Lingling came to do psychological counseling on her own initiative.We first chatted briefly about her recent situation, and the atmosphere was very good.I jokingly asked her if she was too introverted here, which caused her anxiety. This time she did not avoid my question.

She said to me: "Mr. Yan, there is only one thing that can make me anxious."

When she said this, she subconsciously stroked the hexagram pattern on her cheek, "I'm so ugly, I always want to cover my face."

It turned out that it was for this reason that I got a tattoo on my face. This is a common anxiety about the appearance of adolescent girls. I patiently enlightened her.

Talk time: June 3

Speaker: Yan Ting

Interviewee: Zou Lingling

Conversation record: Not long after the new semester started, I received another appointment from Zou Lingling.

When Zou Lingling opened the door and came in, I almost didn't recognize her.Her whole body has changed a lot, her double eyelids have been cut, and the bridge of her nose and chin have become more beautiful.She was dressed stylishly, with delicate light makeup.All in all, it's much prettier than before.

I praised her without hesitation, and she was really happy. She told me that she used the winter vacation to go to the hospital for minor surgery, and her eyes and nose were made of the same style as the little idol she liked recently.

The hexagram tattoo on her face is still there, but Zou Lingling insists that she is much better, and that she came here just to share the joy with me.

Although Zou Lingling seems to be in good condition, but perhaps because of occupational diseases, I am still not at ease.I gently reminded her to take good care of her body, and told her that she can come to me for consultation whenever she needs it.

Talk time: June 4

Speaker: Yan Ting

Interviewee: Zou Lingling

Conversation record: Zou Lingling seems to be in a bad mood today. She told me that her idol has changed recently, so she doesn’t like it when she looks in the mirror, and she wants to take out the prosthesis in her nose.

But the school management was too strict, and she did not agree to her application for leave, so she had to wait until the May Day holiday.

I reminded her again to take care of her body, but she didn't seem to listen.

After Zou Lingling left, I communicated with her parents on the phone.But after I briefly described Zou Lingling's situation, the other party said that he knew about it, but he was busy with other things, so he hung up the phone.

Talk time: June 5

Speaker: Yan Ting

Interviewee: Zou Lingling

Conversation record: Before the start of this consultation, Zou Lingling's class teacher first came to see me.

She told me that Zou Lingling not only delayed returning to school for a few days after the May Day holiday, but also was absent-minded and never communicated with her classmates after returning to school.I am often late for class and sometimes fall asleep.

When I asked for the specific reason, she sighed and said that I would understand when I saw Zou Lingling.

When Zou Lingling appeared again, I was really taken aback, and immediately understood what was going on.

Zou Lingling just told me to go to the hospital to take out the prosthesis of her nose before, but what I never expected was that she not only got the prosthesis, but also underwent a full facelift.

She even had her bones cut, her face became smaller, her chin was terrifyingly pointed, and her skin was still red and swollen.

She looked at me with bright eyes and asked, "Mr. Yan, do I look good now?"

I tried my best to control my emotions and calmly answered her question, "You are beautiful now, but I still think you should pay attention to your health..."

Zou Lingling didn't listen to what I said later, she stroked the hexagram pattern on her face, with a distressed expression, "Mr. Yan, I thought it was okay when I just finished the surgery, but now I feel ugly again."

Then she looked at me and smiled, her eyes were clear, like the most innocent child, "Actually, I recently discovered a new treasure idol, I really want to be like her."
