Chapter 432: New Psionic Template [Mental Illness Support Group] |
Under Yu Yuan's gaze, the Psychic Ability section on the Virtual Light Screen emitted a dazzling golden light.
He also felt a marvelous change occurring within his own spirit.
The Spiritual Energy within his body was rapidly increasing.
Originally, he could only use his psychic ability twice a day, but within mere seconds, the increased Spiritual Energy was already enough for him to unleash an additional psychic ability.
Yu Yuan was overjoyed in his heart.
Forget everything else, just the increase in Spiritual Energy alone had greatly enhanced his ability to preserve his life.
This process continued for nearly half a minute.
When the golden light faded, Yu Yuan could feel that the Spiritual Energy within his body had grown to a full three times its previous amount.
Now, Yu Yuan could unleash his psychic ability six times a day.
Besides the two previous abilities, "Diagnosis: Amnesia" and "Diagnosis: Epilepsy".
A brand new ability had appeared — "Diagnosis: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)": Causes progressive degeneration and death of the target's motor neurons, resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy throughout the body.
Randomly triggers symptoms such as involuntary muscle twitching, limb stiffness, uncontrollable crying or laughing, paralysis, and inability to breathe.
Symptom duration varies from 5 to 30 seconds. After symptoms disappear, symptoms of limb incoordination and muscle weakness will still occur.
Yu Yuan looked at the information description for "Diagnosis: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)" and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
This really did gather together several of the major typical symptoms from neurology.
However, the appearance of "Diagnosis: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)" was just a side effect.
The real change in the psychic ability was that a brand new switchable template had actually appeared.
As Yu Yuan switched the psychic ability panel, a completely new set of psychic abilities appeared before him.
—【Psych Ward Patient Chat Group】
Type: Psychic Ability
Introduction: As is well known, the hardest illnesses for a lifeform to cure are those affecting cognition, thinking, emotion, will, and behavior. When psychiatric patients communicate about their conditions with each other, there is a significant probability of mutual redemption and healing, of course... there is also a high probability of worsening and inducing new conditions.
Characteristics:
①【Long Illness Makes a Good Doctor】: Mental Resistance +100, Mental Trauma Recovery +80%. When psychiatric patients appear nearby, they can be detected and marked immediately.
And through one's own experience, positive psychological guidance can be provided to them, effectively eliminating the influence of mental illness.
②【Condition Exchange】: Engage in mental condition exchange with a target. As long as the target responds, it can cause distortion and influence on the target's cognition, thinking, emotion, will, and behavior, subtly transforming them into mental illness.
Enlightenment Effect: Any unit that has a mental or consciousness connection/link with the exchange target will be affected synchronously; cognitive and thinking illnesses cannot be detected.
Functions:
①【Condition: Schizophrenia】: Perform mental induction on the target. During this period, psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorder will randomly appear.
②【Condition: Mood Disorder】: Causes the target to exhibit symptoms of low mood and loss of interest. As the condition accumulates, it can develop into depression or bipolar disorder.
③【Condition: Anxiety Disorder】: Can set a specific phobic object for the target, inducing fear and anxiety in the target. As symptoms intensify, somatic symptoms will appear, and symptoms related to obsessive-compulsive disorders and physiological disorders will be derived.

The Gold-grade "Celestial Phenomenon — Enlightenment" card once again proved its Gold-grade value.
This wasn't just strengthening a psychic ability, it was practically developing an entirely new psychic ability system.
However, one is neurology, the other is psychiatry.
The two are indeed related.
Neurology manages the hardware facilities, psychiatry manages the software functions.
That's not wrong.
It's just that one is a doctor, the other is a patient.
It really is a bit hard to keep a straight face.
And Yu Yuan immediately conducted a self-check on his own mental state.
The result was mild anxiety.
Well~~~ Now he really was a fellow patient.
But in this wasteland world, his mental state being only mildly anxious was already quite good.
And his "Long Illness Makes a Good Doctor" characteristic specifically provided a treatment plan.
Exercise, sleep, alcohol, nicotine, and sugar are all effective methods for alleviating anxiety.
Yu Yuan also thought about how the Wendigo had previously performed mental contamination on those Thugs.
That should also be a kind of mental/cognitive induction and tampering.
In other words, the psychic ability he had now developed was practically the 'natural counter' to the Wendigo's mental contamination effect.
"However, if that's the case, then I'll need to frequently take strolls around the Recruit Training Camp and the Aurora Animal Assistance Association. I must ensure the mental health of the members inside and not give the Wendigo any opportunity to exploit."

Last night, at the Beachfront Villa in the southern district, Yeger, the Orthodox Church member with the Humpback Whale team, once again sensed the aura of a high-level demon divine attendant, and this time the sensation was increasingly distinct and clear.
Unlike the previous scorching aura of the divine attendant, this divine attendant's aura was filled with a cold chill.
And he also heard the sound of explosions coming from the direction of the port.
After some thought, Yeger decided to go to Green Forest Port today to investigate the situation.

Baku of Thug Prison has made a new breakthrough in his research on Executor Blackfire.
He successfully deciphered the energy operation logic of the mechanical modifier, but his research has also hit a bottleneck.
That is, to successfully perform mechanical modification on the human body, a complete mechanical system is required to proceed.
The existing resources at Thug Prison are completely insufficient to complete such a project.
Baku thought of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
"Since they have the capability to mutate animals, their technical methods must not be too low-level. Cooperating with them is a good choice. Presumably, they also want to know more about the Mechanical Vanguard Society's intelligence! It's just... how to make contact is a problem."

Yu Yuan placed today's newspaper back on the Magazine Display Stand.
The situations with Humpback Whale and Thug Prison did not surprise Yu Yuan; he had already guessed something like this before.
And Zhi Zhi's "Rat Tail Whip" had also finished its cooldown.
Yu Yuan had already selected the next candidate for enslavement.
And at the same time.
The world where the Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle was located had also completed another round of Civilization War against Wolf Clan players.
As the war ended, Xiao Xi also saw the contents of the private message.
Among it was intelligence about Yu Yuan.
She showed a thoughtful expression.
"Shelter location is harsh or the world environment has undergone massive changes..."
Xiao Xi recalled the information about Yu Yuan Shelter provided by Xiao Wu.
"There's no doubt Yu Yuan Shelter is located in a city. What kind of harsh environment could there be in a city?"
Xiao Xi pondered for a long time but had no leads for now.
Finally, she opened her friend list...
