I'm Really Not the Demon God's Lackey Chapter 45: Cosplay

After sending away Wilde, Lin Jie pulled out a book from the shelves, The Interpretation of Dreams, and began to browse through it.

This book was one of Freud's famous works as well as a groundbreaking piece on psychoanalysis.

As an unorthodox work published in an era way behind its time, many of the theories were discredited by scientists and caused a great deal of dispute.

This makes me even busier than before and I'm even frequently being interrupted from my reading.
