At his psychologist's suggestion, longtime social-anxiety sufferer Xie Kong installed an app on his phone designed to cure social anxiety.
He started the first treatment plan: Talk to the first object you encounter that can communicate, for one minute.
Xie Kong looked at a girl waiting at the station. After spending ten minutes psyching himself up, he walked over. "Hello..."
The girl turned around. The corners of her mouth stretched to her ears, and the half-meter-long scissors in her hand made an uneasy snipping sound. Her pitch-black eyes stared straight at him. "Am I pretty?"
"Once installed, this app cannot be deleted, uninstalled, or blocked. It will not disappear if the phone is lost. It is bound to the user and remains effective for life. Patients are advised not to resist treatment. Please complete your tasks diligently and become a well-adjusted, positive, wonderful, and harmonious person as soon as possible."
Years later, Xie Kong, successfully cured of social anxiety and now nicknamed a social butterfly, shared his experience on a forum:
When you're strong enough, you'll find that communicating with other people is such a harmonious and enjoyable thing.
Xie Kong once wanted to give up, to lock himself indoors until he died.
Then a blood-soaked figure embraced him. "I won't let you become like me, so I'm here to help you."
