NOVEL NEXT Chapter 27
Chapter 27 Hidden Inner Demons
“Psychopaths and sociopaths are similar, but there is still a certain degree of difference.”
Chen Yu thanked his viewer, who came from the same background, with a smile.
He then personally explained the difference between the two.
The main characteristic of a sociopath is emotional instability.
It was easy for them to be enraged.
Sociopaths are unable to hold onto a stable job for a long time.
“The violent tendencies of a psychopath are even worse than those of a sociopath.”
“The main difference is how they express these violent tendencies.”
“It’s easy for psychopaths to get along with people in life and gain their trust.”
“Most psychopaths have an extremely high IQ and can hide their inner thoughts deeply.”
Chen Yu finished explaining the difference between the two disorders.
He then looked thoughtfully at [Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter], who was laughing hysterically.
“Huyu Platform has gone to great lengths to protect you.”
[Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter] wheezed.
He mocked Hu Ya’s despicable methods.
After all, to deem a person’s words and deeds untrustworthy, the best way was to label this person as mentally ill.
Huyu Platform had spent countless efforts to create Chen Yu, a money-sucking tool.
If Chen Yu collapsed…
The losses to their platform would be huge.
“The team that Huyu prepared for you is quite capable.”
“In such a short time, they’ve already devised a countermeasure.”
[Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter] sneered.
“If you can’t solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem.”
“Amazing, really amazing.”
A large number of snarky comments flooded the chat.
“I told you long ago that Dr. Chen has a team behind him.”
“[Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter] is awesome. I always support you in your endeavors.”
“I thought Dr. Chen was an expert, but he turns out to be a liar.”
“I’m someone who can divine the future too. I know you’re looking at your computers or phones right now.”
“Dr. Chen isn’t a good psychologist, but he’s a good actor.”
The haters who had been hiding all this time took the opportunity to come out and incite hate.
The livestream descended into chaos.
[Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter] couldn’t hide the smug expression on his face.
The victor had been decided, and yet another celebrity had been killed by him.
Chen Yu completely ignored the haters who had appeared on his livestream.
His patient’s condition analysis, which everyone was familiar with, began slowly.
“You were born in a small third-tier city in the north.”
“You’ve got an older brother and two older sisters up there.”
“Your brothers and sisters are older than you by more than ten years. The whole family has loved you since you were young.”
“The only requirement your family has for you is to get into a university and bring honor to your ancestors.”
The smug expression on [Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter] disappeared and turned expressionless.
“You didn’t disappoint your family. Your grades have always been first, from elementary to high school.”
“Your father passed away during your university entrance examination.”
“Your father’s departure has seriously affected your performance in the entrance examination.”
Chen Yu said all this unhurriedly.
“You failed the university entrance examination and even took it two more times.”
“All of them ended in disappointment.”
“Chen Yu, I overestimated the team behind you.”
[Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter] admitted frankly that Chen Yu’s words were true.
However, he looked disappointed.
He did have a brother and two sisters.
He had also tried for his university entrance examination three times.
As soon as he said this, the viewers sent out all kinds of puzzled comments.
If what Chen Yu said was true, shouldn’t he be surprised?
Why did he look so disappointed?
“Chat; don’t be anxious. I’ll explain it now.”
[Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter] was a contracted streamer on Huyu platform.
Anyone who signed a contract with the platform had to fill in their identity information.
Not only did he have to provide his real name but also his ID.
His ID contained the address of his hometown.
Thus, the above revelations were easy for Huyu to find in a short time.
With Huyu Platform’s public relations and Big Data capabilities, obtaining [Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter]’s family information would be simple, even with limited information.
In this day and age, personal information is worth nothing.
“Chen Yu, continue your skit.”
“Let me see what other methods your team can come up with to keep you from collapsing,” said [Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter].
Chen Yu didn’t make any excuses and continued his sentence.
“After failing your university entrance examination for the third time, you originally planned to repeat your studies.”
“Unexpectedly, your eldest brother, who had been supporting your studies, died in a car accident.”
“Without a pillar of support at home, you had to give up on your university dream and work to support your family.”
“Your illness is closely related to your four past jobs.”
“You were once a factory security guard, library cleaner, knife salesman, and restaurant waiter.”
“These jobs not only bring you income but also release your inner demons in your heart.”
The netizens were utterly confused.
What did working have to do with releasing his inner demons?
Furthermore, according to Chen Yu, [Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter] suffered from an antisocial personality disorder.
According to the explanation, a patient suffering from this disorder must have suffered a massive blow.
However, judging from the content of Chen Yu’s narration…
Aside from [Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter] failing his university entrance examination three times, nothing major happened.
Many people had also done the same job as him in his previous four positions.
So why?
Why would his inner demons get out after working in these four jobs?
Did Dr. Chen watch too much anime?
“Dr. Chen, it’s not that I don’t support you, but what you’re saying has nothing to do with his illness.”
“I’m also a factory security guard. Don’t mess with me, or I’ll become a demon and kill you.”
“I’m a waiter in a restaurant. I should be transforming anytime soon.”
“Is Dr. Chen panicking and bullshitting now?”
“Haters, get lost!”
“Dr. Chen, I’ll tip you ten yuan. Can you just tell us when he developed his mental illness?”
The netizens were getting impatient.
Where was the major scoop?
Where was their desired plot twist?
Just this?
“The cause of [Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter]’s illness originated from his university entrance examination,” Chen Yu continued with a faint smile.
“He thinks he’s the best in his school and that getting into Qingbei University is as easy as flipping his hand.”
“What he didn’t know was that the educational resources in smaller cities are scarce. His getting first place in his city doesn’t have much value.”
The netizens were finally enlightened.
No wonder [Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter] failed his university entrance examination three times.
More than twenty years ago, the university entrance exam was a one-plank bridge.
The difficulty was more than just challenging.
“He failed his entrance examination three times, which caused a certain degree of distortion in his mind.”
“The experience of his four jobs further expands this distortion.”
“When he was a factory security guard, he was ordered around by a security captain who only had a primary school education.”
“The captain would often make fun of him as the top student in high school.”
“While working in a library, he would be mocked by his supervisor whenever he got engrossed in a book.”
“His job as a knife salesman often resulted in him getting bullied by his customers.”
“He was also humiliated badly by a customer while working as a waiter in a restaurant.”
“It was also at this time that a demon of killing was released.”
Chen Yu paused, glancing at the face of [Hangzhou City’s Number One Entertainment Reporter].
“Not long after, he murdered the customer who humiliated him personally.”
