Chapter 630: Chapter 532 Symptoms_3

"There must be, and there are many things that can be solved without intubation," Xu Yang adjusted the thermostat, raising the temperature of the room, "You rest here for a moment, the others will arrive soon."

Rinne looked out the window, feeling it was an endless wait.

She knew that the way to overcome her ultimate fear was to defeat Enomoto Bank herself, yet she was barred from training due to the early signs of cyber mental illness.

Before long, Seeking Shadow and the others arrived, bringing with them Hosoda Yoshiyuki, who had been suffering from cyber mental illness for ten years.

He frowned at the dispirited Rinne.

"You must have a lot of experience in resisting cyber mental illness," Seeking Shadow said to Hosoda Yoshiyuki, "...You can help Rinne."

Rinne looked up at Hosoda Yoshiyuki.

"The best way? That is to pretend you’re not sick," said Hosoda Yoshiyuki with a cold smile, "You’ll become a madman in the eyes of others, yet you’ll also embrace your true self. Cyber mental illness is incurable; the moment you start replacing flesh and blood with metal, the roots of cyber mental illness are already planted. It’s a lengthy process, and you’ll inevitably throw away ’restraint’ and become a ’devil’."

"I can reverse all this," Rinne said softly.

"You cannot," Hosoda Yoshiyuki said disdainfully, "how could you?"

Rinne remained silent.

Later, visitors came and went in a steady stream.

At midnight, Rinne quietly left the hospital ward and headed to the core layer of Nestor Headquarters, passing through a checkpoint.

She pushed open the door forcefully as the image of the Galaxy wavered before her.

Golden threads stretched out beneath Rinne’s feet, winding toward various paths between the stars.

Embracing that power to recover everything was all that was needed, as long as one pledged loyalty to "Lady Farosa."

Rinne looked at the corner of the floating Recovery Star, where a gently rotating power almost formed a vortex.

Lady Farosa, Lady Farosa. Rinne silently chanted the sacred name as she walked along the golden threads, needing to maintain her balance to avoid falling to either side.

She walked toward the holy path of the Witch.

Standing a stone’s throw from the Recovery Star, Rinne still clearly remembered how close she had to be to be captured by the Law of Recovery.

She crouched down, almost kneeling on the ground, just millimeters away from being covered by the light of recovery.

Lady Farosa!

Rinne was almost ready to leap forward, to heal her physical and mental scars with the Law of Recovery.

Her body leaned forward but then immediately stiffened, her expression twisted in agony.

Think about it...

What was the difference between serving the corporation or serving Lady Farosa?

Rinne abandoned the notion born of her despair, her eyes scanning the surrounding Starry Sea, quickly retracing her steps the way she had come.

And this expanse of stars clearly resented Rinne’s noncompliance! More stars exploded in the distance, and even the door began to close on its own.

Lady Farosa would not tolerate refusal of obedience.

Rinne activated her subjective time dilation implant, leaping through a moment’s gap.

Bang!

She had narrowly escaped. Rinne looked back at the tightly closed doors, from which red lights pulsated.

The door locked behind her, as if it would never welcome Rinne to join.

Rinne wiped the sweat from her forehead, the world around her began to split and merge.

She had used her subjective time dilation implant again, damn it!

She knew she should have listened to Mr. Web Monitor; her fragile nerve cells probably just got destroyed a bit more.

Rinne struggled to maintain her balance, walking down the corridor with great difficulty, each step arduous.

It’s so hard...

If she kept going like this, she wouldn’t be able to return to the ward normally; she would disgracefully fall to the ground and be discovered by other employees, and then everyone would know where Rinne had secretly gone.

She leaned against one wall, unable to see anything, her head buzzing.

Just then, she suddenly heard the sound of light, brisk footsteps.

A small hand took hold of Rinne, gently shaking it, helping her to distinguish the path even with her vision splitting.

Rinne felt at ease.

She closed her eyes and let the small hand guide her back to the elevator, where the young Witch climbed onto her shoulder for easy access to the floor buttons, taking Rinne back to the medical center’s ward.

Safe...

Rinne collapsed onto the bed, completely exhausted, ready to fall asleep.

"Thank you, Xu Cheng..." Rinne closed her eyes, waiting for sleep to come.

"Meow." Little Farosa responded with a meow and then left, closing the door to the ward behind her.
