Chapter 141

When Lu Lin and others were talking about the plan, she was also listening, and it was obvious that she could understand it thoroughly.

Not only that, now when fighting, she would actually examine the situation and choose different ways of fighting.

All the situations point to one thing-Li Mi has recovered her basic normal thinking ability.

Her brain is no longer in a purely idle state.

This naturally means that her condition is recovering.

But it also means that the thinking mechanism that protected her in the past may have failed.

Some time ago, Lu Lin was worried that without this layer of protection, whether Li Mi would begin to be affected by intrusive memory one day.

Since this worry appeared, Lu Lin has paid special attention to Li Mi's sleep.

Fortunately, for a long time before, the situation he was worried about did not seem to occur.

Lu Lin guessed that Li Mi might still be able to maintain the previous self-protection method when sleeping.

Now it seems that this guess should be correct.

But at the same time, this self-protection has finally failed.

The symptoms of intrusive memory began to appear. From then on, Li Mi's nights may no longer be as peaceful as before.

Of course, at this point, Li Mi's PTSD is no longer an unknown area for Lu Lin.

In this case, as long as the means are appropriate, her PTSD should have a chance to be cured.

But...

This may be a very long process.

And in the middle of this process, the pain brought by the intrusive memory may often accompany Li Mi.

Lu Lin wanted to do something.

But he soon found that he didn't seem to have many choices.

Perhaps making some potions to force Li Mi into a deep sleep is a way.

But in fact, with Li Mi's physical strength, the related potions with relatively safe effects can actually only act as melatonin gummies, but can't really be used as sleeping pills.

The potion that can really give Li Mi the effect of a sleeping pill, let alone whether Lu Lin can make it for the time being, even if he can make it, this powerful potion may cause harm to the body.

This is obviously what Lu Lin doesn't want to see.

So, it seems that there is only one thing he can do.

Gently pulling open some quilts, Lu Lin lay down next to Li Mi.

He gently put one hand through the gap between Li Mi's neck and the pillow, and then Lu Lin covered the quilt with his other hand.

Then, he gently hugged Li Mi in his arms with both hands.

He closed his eyes and felt the movement in his arms.

At first, Li Mi's body trembled a little.

When Lu Lin hugged her, Li Mi seemed to be frightened for a moment.

Then, maybe she woke up for a while, but Lu Lin didn't open his eyes and didn't know the details.

But he felt Li Mi shrink into his arms, and seemed to rub his neck with her head.

A gust of sea breeze blew outside the window, and he subconsciously hugged Li Mi tighter.

The latter moved in his arms, adjusting herself to a position that was as comfortable as possible and as close to Lu Lin's arms as possible.

It seemed that this would make her feel more secure.

It was late at night, and soon, both of them fell asleep.

But this night, Li Mi still slept unsteadily.

Although her current condition is said to be caused by the recovery of PTSD.

But her extremely severe PTSD, which was accumulated by hundreds of deaths, even if it has recovered, is far more severe than the most severe PTSD record that Lu Lin could encounter in his previous life.

Without that special protection mechanism, the intrusive memories of countless deaths are like a large group of long-suppressed evil spirits, rushing out of her mind one after another, waking her up from her dreams again and again.

Sometimes, she just wakes up simply, feeling the embrace of her arms, and she can quickly fall asleep slowly in a sense of security.

But sometimes, even if she wakes up, the painful memories still linger in her heart, which will make her exclaim unconsciously, even scream or cry.

At this time, she often wakes Lu Lin up, and then she has to coax her for a long time before she can fall asleep again.

She leans tightly in Lu Lin's arms, curled up into a ball, and constantly seeks a sense of security in this way.

And all Lu Lin could do seemed to be to hold her tightly, stroking her back constantly, and telling her that he was here.

Lu Lin didn't know how many times he woke up.

He didn't know how many times Li Mi cried that night.

In a daze, he finally waited for the sun to rise.

When almost all the night elves returned to their homes to sleep, Lu Lin and Li Mi finally woke up in the sun instead of waking up from their dreams.

Li Mi's eyes were red, and even after waking up, she still huddled tightly in Lu Lin's arms.

Lu Lin had never seen her like this before.

Although her condition was getting better, Li Mi began to be forced to endure more painful mental torture than before.

Reason told Lu Lin that this was a process that had to be experienced.

But even so, holding Li Mi's petite body, Lu Lin still felt extremely heartbroken.

It was all the Holy Church...

Even if Merens was dead, the culprit of all this was still standing at the top of the world and showing off his power.

Lu Lin would never forgive them.

Regardless of good or evil, even if it is just for pure personal grudges, one day...

No, forget it. With his current ability, he is not qualified enough to think about this matter.

He also needs to become stronger, accumulate more resources, and make more forces and allies.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin turned his attention to his task list again.

Looking at the mission that had not changed for an unknown period of time, he sighed softly.

"After so much effort, even using the Philosopher's Stone, please don't let me down with the result of this summons..."

Chapter 233 It seems that we can also tell the story of monkeys

In the next few days, Lu Lin's daily life was similar.

It's as if you are really on vacation at the beach. You eat a "dinner" from the night elves every morning, then bask in the sun on the beach during the day, make your own food at noon using the ingredients you bought in advance, and then eat it in the evening. The last "breakfast" for the night elves.

After dusk, the Night Elf Queen will come over once to help Rumi heal his soul damage.

During this period, Tanuki's mental state has not been very good, and intrusive memories will affect her from time to time. Although she will not lose control as she did in the past, the pain caused to her is real.

Similar situations occur relatively rarely during the day, and they always occur two or three times a day.

The situation was most serious at night. The active subconscious mind during sleep would always unconsciously evoke those damn memories, waking her up frequently from her dreams.

So that Li Mi, who used to want to sleep for twenty-three hours every day to escape memories, now began to be afraid of sleeping. Lu Lin had to hold her until late at night, and only when she was too sleepy would she close her eyes and fall asleep.

However, this method seems to make it easier for her to fall into a deep sleep. Although she will still wake up from time to time as the morning approaches, it can at least ensure a period of high-quality rest.

As for daytime.

Along with the symptoms of intrusive memories, other symptoms begin to appear.

She began to become a little frightened easily, her spirit was tense for a long time, she was easily frightened, she was easily over-vigilant, and she began to avoid contact with outsiders.

Although she was on vacation here, Tanuki stayed in the hut almost every day and refused to go out at all.

Lu Lin had no choice but to stay with her and talk to her.

Naturally, the Night Elf Queen also discovered Rumi's situation.

The latter was lost for a long time after chatting with Lu Lin.

Lu Lin asked her what was wrong, and she came back to her senses and explained that she was remembering the past.

Diseases like Numi are very common among veterans after the war. They have also spent a lot of time studying this mental illness and have achieved some results.

In order to allow the Night Elf Queen to better help Liumi, Lu Lin, after hesitating, made some peace with the Night Elf Queen.

About Noomi’s identity and past, as well as the relationship between the Holy Cult and the Brave.

Only in this way can he explain what kind of past is behind Li Mi's extremely severe PTSD.

When she heard that Rumi had probably died a hundred or two hundred times, and that she still had all the memories of those deaths in her mind, even Her Lady Queen, who thought she was well-informed, was stunned.

After pondering for a long time, she proposed to Lu Lin that she wanted to release this information to some personnel.

The main targets are those who originally studied related issues, and those who have recovered from similar diseases.

Lu Lin agreed decisively.

Under other circumstances, he might also worry about whether this matter should not be disclosed to too many people.

But when it came to Li Mi's condition, Lu Lin made the decision almost without hesitation.

Two days later, the Night Elf Queen brought back a treatment plan.

The main direction is to allow Tanuki to accept these memories, analyze and understand these memories, separate these memories from emotions so that they can no longer harm themselves, so as to overcome the influence of these memories.

In the past, many night elves used this method to overcome the nightmares left on the battlefield.

but……

Tanuki's situation is too special, so even the Queen doesn't seem to have much confidence in this treatment plan.

Therefore, the above methods are quite mild and conservative, at least to ensure that Li Mi's spirit will not be harmed twice because of these methods.

She has endured too much, and no one wants to see her suffer any more harm.

After Lu Lin saw it, he summarized it as follows: Chat with her more often and take a walk, and tell her some stories when you have the opportunity to guide Li Mi to think about other things, or give her something to do, so that she can jump out of her past memories first. The prison formed can have a relatively independent and clear state of mind.

It still sounds reasonable. Although even the people who formulated the plan are not very confident in the plan, at least it provides a feasible direction.

Lu Lin himself didn't understand the relevant treatment. He had always been like a headless chicken before, not knowing what to do at all.

Lu Lin is very grateful to have such a group of people with relevant experience put forward practical opinions.

Since it sounds reasonable, it’s worth trying.

After thinking about it, Lu Lin decided to start telling stories to Li Mi during the day.

At least let her stop focusing on her painful memories.

Of course, the story you tell must be attractive enough.

But when it comes to telling such a story, Lu Lin doesn’t seem to have many options.

Naturally, there is no need to think about fairy tales. Although Li Mi would occasionally give Lu Lin the illusion that she was taking care of her daughter, she was not a real little girl. It was somewhat naive to attract her with fairy tales.

The most suitable story novels for her age might be wonderful stories.

In his previous life, he had read a lot of online novels. The good ones among them were naturally good for telling stories, but Lu Lin read online novels and forgot them after reading them. Now asking him to tell stories was tantamount to asking him to make up stories based on the settings.

Since online novels were not good, he would naturally think of the four great classics.

But the stories of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin always seemed difficult for people in this world to understand because of the historical background and the lack of extraordinary powers.

What's more, the plots of these two dramas were relatively coherent. Even if he remembered the general idea, it would still be difficult for him to tell them completely in order.

As for Dream of the Red Chamber, he had never even read it, let alone tell it.

After thinking about it, Lu Lin felt that he might only be able to tell Journey to the West.

He remembered the beginning more clearly, and although he couldn't remember the order of the stories in the middle, Journey to the West was a unit drama anyway, so he could just tell which episode he remembered.

Even if he couldn't tell the whole story, it should be enough for him to tell for a while.

As for what to do after he finished telling the story...

In fact, he could also tell some movies and TV shows he had watched in the past, or even the plots of some games.
