Chapter 351: The Devil in My Heart

"I'm just a little skeptical, and I'm not completely sure that you have this disease......" Lucy saw that Mu Chen had calmed down before whispering.

I've always heard people say don't try to provoke Lord Death, Lucy has never taken it very seriously, she has known Mu Chen since her debut, and the two usually fight and make trouble, Mu Chen's house has been to several times, and she never thought that Mu Chen would hurt herself one day, but now she finds that this seems to be her own delusion.

Mu Chen has experienced too much killing and blood on the battlefield, and all those evil qi have accumulated in his body, gradually affecting his character, and he is well hidden on weekdays, but this devil is constantly growing in his heart, and once it is released, the damage caused is uncontrollable.

Maybe Mu Chen didn't realize it himself, he hadn't completely relaxed for a long time, as early as when he was very young, he had to take on the responsibility of the family, trying to earn more money to treat his sister. Later, he joined the Space Force, and combat took up almost more than half of his life.

Although the results are incomparably brilliant, the military has a detailed record of every battle, and Mu Chen directly killed more than 3 million enemies, and the enemies killed indirectly are even more unimaginable, if you count the ranking of the largest number of enemies killed by individuals in history, Mu Chen definitely occupies the top spot with an overwhelming advantage, and the 99 ranking candidates behind him may not add up to him.

People are not machines without feelings and souls, and the long-term pressure and almost unstoppable killing have begun to affect Mu Chen's character, and this has been especially evident in recent times.

In the past, although Mu Chen was very cold on the battlefield, he was still very friendly to his comrades-in-arms, and would joke with the crew from time to time, but now this situation is gradually decreasing.

On the one hand, Mu Chen has more and more responsibilities, and the pressure is becoming more and more intense, and he can't even find time to talk to his family for several days, and he will often be interrupted by emergencies when chatting, and he has to continue to rush to deal with work.

On the other hand, due to Mu Chen's position getting higher and higher, from the previous ace pilot to the later captain of the battleship, and then to the current commander-in-chief of the Reaper fleet, this change in identity has also led to a natural sense of distance between him and ordinary soldiers, and it is impossible for a Federation Commander to have a hippie smile with ordinary soldiers, otherwise where is there any prestige at all, let alone taking the fleet to fight a tough battle, it is a question whether the crew listens to him or not.

Mu Chen is too young after all, if he increases his age by another 20 years, he can be free from anger, but now he obviously can't do this, whether it is experience or years of precipitation, he is still a lot behind.

This can't be blamed on others, only for the speed at which he was promoted.

There was once a good opportunity in front of him, retiring and recuperating at home was the best way to adjust his mentality, but the reality did not allow Mu Chenfu to be idle at home, the Zerg invasion, the Proxima Centauri problem, and joining the Cosmic Alliance...... He needs to do everything that has a far-reaching impact, and others don't have that ability and don't have as many supporters.

Lucy is very keenly aware of Mu Chen's changes, and is also deeply worried about him, in her opinion, Mu Chen is about to be crushed by the pressure from all sides, and no one can easily shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the world, even the invincible Lord Death.

A Himalayan mountain pressed down on his body, replaced by a monkey under the Five Fingers Mountain, I am afraid that he would not be able to stand it for a long time, but Mu Chen can still carry this mountain and stride forward, which is really admirable.

"How can I get a diagnosis?" Mu Chen asked with a frown.

He also knew in his heart that something was wrong with him recently, nightmares and insomnia didn't appear much, but this was because he had little time to rest, and after finishing work every day, he could only sleep for 3 hours at most, almost half tired to death, and it was difficult to sleep upside down.

But the character becomes a little easier

Anger and irritability are what happen, especially when the battle is not going well, Mu Chen can clearly feel his uncontrollable killing intent roaring, eager to kill all the enemies in an instant.

This is obviously abnormal, Mu Chen is not to deceive himself, he feels that there is a devil living in his body, and he is trying to find a way to run out all the time.

"May I ask you a few questions? This can help diagnose ......," Lucy asked softly, trying not to put any pressure on Mu Chen.

"Just ask." Mu Chen took the wine glass and drank it all, and then threw the wine glass far away, as if he wanted to throw the devil in his heart out as well.

"Have you had any sleepless and nightmares lately?"

"Nope." Mu Chen thought for a while and added: "I can only sleep less than 3 hours a day, and dreaming is a luxury for me. ”

Lucy frowned, feeling a little sorry for this young general who was a few years younger than herself, most of the young people of this age were still trying their best to pick up girls on campus, but he was shouldering an unimaginable responsibility, which was really embarrassing for him.

"Have you ever been irritable, murderous, overly vigilant, or easily frightened?"

Mu Chen thought about it seriously and nodded slowly, except for being easily frightened, he had the rest of the situation.

The irritability is obvious, and all the unexpected situations on the battlefield will make him angry involuntarily, but his calmness and reason help him restrain the impulses in his heart very well, so he does not show any unreasonable behavior.

There is no need to explain this point at all, the order of the Reaper Fleet not to leave a living mouth was given by him, mainly to deter the enemy, and not to leave future troubles, but Mu Chen always felt that the dead enemy could reassure him, so he ......

Overvigilance is almost his instinctive talent, and he can sense potential threats in advance even if they are far away, just like someone in the dark is alerting him to the impending danger, and if this is not overly vigilant, then he doesn't know what it is.

As for the fright, this thing has nothing to do with Mu Chen, when it was almost eaten by the brain eater in the stomach of the mother worm, it was a fright, and it never happened again.

Lucy breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem to be as serious as she thought: "Then do you feel particularly addicted to something that you want to do almost all the time?" ”

Asking this question, there was a little embarrassment between the two, because it involved some privacy, and Mu Chen was also a little embarrassed, so he could only lean into Lucy's ear and whisper.

Lucy's face turned red instantly, and there was still some disbelief in her eyes: "Impossible, right, one night?" Can Laura and Angela stand it? ”

"Hey, can you be quiet? Low-key, low-key! Mu Chen lowered his voice and said, this woman is too unreliable, I wouldn't have told her if I had known.

"Ahem." Lucy coughed, hiding the shyness in her heart: "Then how often do this kinds of things happen?" ”

"I'd like to come here often, but after each time, Laura has to rest for a few days, and Angela is more physical, but unfortunately not my opponent." Mu Chen said with some regret.

"Tsk, you're still proud, aren't you? Big Bull! Lucy said angrily, "Let's pay attention in the future, just do it in moderation, excessive indulgence hurts the body." ”

"I don't feel uncomfortable, do I?"

"It's not about hurting your body, I'm worried about Laura!"

Mu Chen scratched his head embarrassedly and continued to cooperate with Lucy's inquiry.

"Guilt? What is guilt? ”

"It's a feeling of guilt for the enemies you've killed."

Mu Chen pursed his lips: "You said that you are the enemy, isn't it a matter of course to kill the enemy on the battlefield and save yourself?" What's so guilty about this? ”

Lucy rolled her eyes angrily, she shouldn't have asked such a stupid question, but the other party is Lord Death, which Grim Reaper said sorry after killing his opponent?

"It's not bad, it's a lot better than I expected, it's not to the level of PTSD, it's just a general anxiety disorder caused by too much stress."

Mu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't battlefield syndrome, once that kind of disease was obtained, Angela would definitely not even let her daughter hug her, this is not good, nothing can be said!

As soon as he thought of Yaoyao, who was far away on the mother planet of the earth, Mu Chen felt warm all over his body, like a hot spring emerging from an iceberg, which was a sense of happiness from the inside out.

Recently, Yaoyao will call "Dad", I hope this damn war will end soon, and I will rush back as soon as possible.

"Don't be uneasy, seriously, your situation is not far from PTSD, don't get angry easily, try to fight in person as much as possible, go out and go around more often, don't always nest in the command room......" Lucy explained the doctor's instructions dutifully, but Mu Chen's mind had already flown back to Earth.

“…… I've been talking for a long time, have you listened? Lucy found that Mu Chen was in a daze, and asked angrily.

"Huh? Listen to what? Mu Chen asked dumbfounded.

"Forget it, you're hopeless, come to my side once every three days in the future, and I'll do psychotherapy."

"Didn't you say I'm fine? What else is being treated? Mu Chen asked strangely.

"you!" After talking about his feelings for a long time, he didn't listen to a word, and he was so angry with me!

"Remember, come once every three days, or I'll tell Laura you're sick!" It's better to treat this kind of guy who doesn't know each other with this method.

"Don't mind, you have to abide by the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement......"

The two talked and laughed, the sky was going to get dark soon, and the small planet was not good at this, the day and night changed too quickly, and they hadn't had fun yet, so it was dark.

During the vacation, the number of people still had to be counted every night, and Mu Chen also had a lot of work to deal with, so the two packed up their things and prepared to go back, but suddenly found that something was missing.

"Hey, that's strange, did you see the potted plant I brought?" Mu Chen lowered his head and searched for a while, but he didn't see the pot of flowers he raised.

"Didn't you just put it next to it, I remember you watered it." Lucy was also a little strange, the potted plant was obviously under her nose, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye.

"Hell, can this plant still run on its own long legs? My half-drunk bottle is gone! Mu Chen said in surprise.

If you want to talk about vigilance, if Mu Chen recognizes the second, I'm afraid no one can recognize the first, and if he wants to steal something from under his hands, the gods don't want to do it, but the pot of plants and the wine bottle at hand are indeed gone, and he doesn't notice it at all, this is almost impossible to happen.

"Don't scare me? There can't really be ghosts in this world, right? Somewhat frightened, Lucy took out a cross pendant from her collar and prayed quietly, looking nervously around for fear that something supernatural would happen.

"The courage is still so small, if you join the combat unit again, I think there is a chance that you will have to cry in fear." Mu Chen said angrily, but suddenly stopped, and looked behind Lucy in amazement, with an expression of disbelief.

"You, you, don't scare me, I'm most afraid of ghosts......" Lucy said tremblingly, her calves trembling, could it be that there was something terrible behind him that scared Mu Chen like this?
