Chapter 148: Escape from the Asylum (7)
[Subtitle: The Way Out]
The days passed, Gu Qi lived a low-key life, hiding in Gu Qi's body in this world, feeling like a bird in a shoebox.
He reconciled with Xu Peirong and went to the foreign company where she worked, and the treatment was very good, and it could be seen that she was very happy and satisfied with her current life.
Gu Qi's vigilance did not relax, this is a fortunate thing, but he is very tired of living, this is not a mapping illusion, no one wants to kill him - if there is, it will be a bombshell, blowing the most important "reality" in this world to pieces.
But everyone is an enemy, they don't kill Gu Qi, but they will hold his feet and drag him into the whirlpool of "reality", sinking deeper and deeper, unable to extricate himself, and finally completely lost.
So Gu Qi must keep struggling and treat everyone as enemies, just like Truman Burbank in the movie "The-Truman-Show", the illusion in the movie is created by the screenwriter and director, the actor is a person, so he will make mistakes, and the characters in the illusion are not people, they will never make mistakes, and they will not make any mistakes.
"It's not enough to fit in, and only after getting used to it thoroughly can you find suspicious places."
Gu Qi often reminded himself like this, he knew that he was playing with fire, but there was no way, he could kill all the people in the madhouse, but he couldn't kill all the people in the entire Anming City, violence would not work in this illusion, he had to find the back door of the illusion in another way.
Every illusion has a back door, otherwise the maker of the illusion will not be able to leave, even if this illusion is created by Gu Qi himself, the prayer master who made him create the illusion must be inside, and he is observing himself.
To find a way out of this fantasy, you must integrate into the illusion, and the powerful illusion is often jokingly called a "role-playing game", and there is no way to "clear the level" without playing your role well.
The more real the illusion, the higher the degree of integration it needs, Gu Qi estimated. I'm afraid this illusion needs 99% integration, and he can only retain 1% of his self-awareness, and the boundary of this 1% alone is difficult to find, not to mention that this 1% is likely to be swallowed up by that 99%.
It's playing with fire, playing with gas drenched in gasoline.

"Your daughter is a genius, Mr. Gu, I hope she can participate in the Youth Piano Competition next month, she will definitely win the prize." The piano teacher warmly shook Gu Qi's hand.
"Okay." Gu Qi nodded.
……
"Thank you, Officer Gu, you are the hero of Anming City!" The mayor handed over a certificate. He held Gu Qi's hand tightly.
"Thank you." Gu Qi took the certificate of merit, held it, and looked at the countless flashing lights.
……
"Brother, Zhang Zhenyu asked you to go to the gym." On the phone, Xu Peirong said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Gu Qi was knocked to the ground by a left hook.
……
"Xiao Gu, you have made a great contribution this time, and the bonus is not much, so I will do it, but your promotion application has been approved. When you're rested, you can get promoted after coming back for a month, and of course, your abilities shouldn't be wasted. You should call the police. Huang Dafa slapped Gu Qi's shoulder with a "snap".
"Okay." Gu Qi nodded and continued to look through the autopsy report in his hand.
……
"There are no more signs of intermittent amnesia and no psychological problems, and I can be reinstated next week. But I heard that you have gone to the office to deal with the case in the past few days, but you can't go to the police, but don't force it. No one can say anything about the brain. Song Zhong closed his notebook.
"Not reluctantly." Gu Qi sat on the sofa and nodded and said.
……
"Call Xu Peirong and Cui Hua to dinner on the weekend, you haven't been together since you were injured." Zeng Yu leaned on Gu Qi's shoulder and watched TV.
"Okay." Gu Qi nodded and clenched her hand as well.
……
"Dad, I'm hungry." Zeng Xue raised her head and blinked her big eyes.
……
"Meow-" Miao Yi rubbed her thighs.
…………
…………
Turning on the sanitary lamp and standing in front of the sink, Gu Qi picked up the cold water and splashed it on his face.
The water washed away the cold sweat on his face and brought him to his senses, and he straightened up, leaned on the sink, and looked at the face he had become accustomed to in the mirror.
The cold sweat was only because of a dream, but it had nothing to do with the dream, but it was scared out after waking up from the dream, and he realized that he had forgotten how long he had been in this world.
It's too much to be incorporated, that's for sure, but thankfully the one percent hasn't disappeared, as evidenced by the dream just now.
Gu Qi dreamed of a very unexpected person-the black uncle who drove him from the airport to Fort Knox, he didn't know the name of the black uncle, and he hadn't talked to him, and it was by no means meaningless to suddenly appear in a dream.
Turning off the lights and returning to the living room, Gu Qi sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and began to recall everything that happened during this time.
Half an hour later, the lights in the bedroom were turned on.
Zeng Yu wrapped himself in pajamas, walked into the living room, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, think of something, I'll go out for a ride, you sleep." Gu Qi got dressed and put the cigarette on the coffee table into his pocket.
"I'll go in the middle of the night." Zeng Yu said that he was going to the bedroom to change clothes.
"No, you can rest, you have to go to work tomorrow." Gu Qi said and walked out of the house.
…………
The night breeze poured into the car from the window, as if he wanted to pull out all Gu Qi's hair, Gu Qi's expression was grim, and his eyes became as sharp as a knife again.
The car drove to the east of the city, he was already very familiar with the west and south of Anming City, but he had hardly been to the east, so he didn't know what it looked like.
What will happen at the end of the road out of town? A huge wall? The green numbers that keep falling? A barricade with an "End" or "Close" sign?
It's worth checking out anyway.
If you stay long enough, it's time to make a change, and if there is no result of low-key observation, then you can only act in a high-profile manner, but if you are high-profile, you are likely to be the enemy of this world, and it will be too late to regret it.
In what way will the other party stop him?
It was past three o'clock in the morning, and there were very few vehicles on the road. Gu Qi was extremely sober.
Twenty minutes later, the car was already on the east side of Anming City, getting closer and closer to the road out of the city.
At this time, the phone rang.
It was Zeng Yu who called, Gu Qi didn't answer, and threw the mobile phone on the co-pilot's seat.
After a while, the phone rang again, this time it was Xu Peirong calling, Gu Qi still didn't answer, he hoped to receive a call from a stranger. Even if it's a "mistake".
A few minutes later, a text message was received on the phone.
The text message was sent by Zeng Yu, it was very short, only seven words: Where are you? I'm worried.
Texting itself doesn't mean much, but the purpose of texting is obvious.
There was a loud "bang", and when Gu Qi lifted his mobile phone to the windshield and aimed at the content of the text message, a car tire suddenly flew over from the front and smashed the hood. Smashed the windshield and bounced into the back of the car.
Gu Qi raised his mobile phone to look at it, because he wanted to pay attention to the situation on the side of the road and prevent the other party from arranging a car accident to prevent him from leaving the city.
It's people who are guarded. But I couldn't prevent the tires, and the car accident happened, but it came from across the street, which was a real flying accident.
There was a car spinning across the street and sliding down the road. The tires came off, and the body wings rubbed against the ground, creating a bright spark.
Gu Qi calmly stopped the car. swept away the glass slag on his body, touched the cut on his face, and found that the hole was not deep, so he raised his foot and kicked out the remaining windshield and stepped on the accelerator.
Passers-by finally appeared, and when they suddenly crossed the road, Gu Qi had already been on guard, and lightly avoided it, knocking down two trees in the isolation zone, but did not hit anyone.
The car finally got onto the road out of town, but had to stop after driving less than a kilometer.
There is a red long line of car taillights in front, all muck cars, all kinds of license plates, I don't know what happened in front.
Gu Qi got out of the car, opened the trunk, took out a folding bicycle from it, opened it to adjust it, and continued to move forward on the bicycle.
In front of more than 20 muck trucks, a large truck was parked on its side, and the muck in the pocket of the car fell on the road, and the body was sideways, blocking the entire road.
Gu Qi carried the bicycle, and under the surprised eyes of the truck drivers, he stepped on the gravel and muck all over the road and crossed this road, stepped on the car and continued to ride forward.
Since the road is blocked, there shouldn't be any obstructors in the rear, unless that prayer master gives up the most critical truth of this illusion, and once the truth is abandoned, Gu Qi can find countless breakthroughs.
The obstacle appeared again, not a barricade, but a light.
The street lights went out, and only the moonlight was left to illuminate the road.
The reality is still there, car accidents are possible, pedestrians can jaywalk, muck trucks can roll over, street lights can have wiring problems, but the moon doesn't fall, right?
Riding fast on the wide road, the cold wind was blowing, and the red light of the cigarette butts was extremely bright, even a little dazzling.
Like a car taillight.
Then, it went dark.
…………
…………
"Di-" The horn of the car continued to sound, very harsh.
Gu Qi opened his eyes and found himself sitting in the cab, his head, chest, and abdomen aching, the car was tilting, and in front of the front of the car was a thick tree.
The pain in the chest and abdomen was strangled by the seat belt, the steering wheel was covered by the airbag, and there was white powder on the body and face, which should have been on the airbag.
Dizzy severely, Gu Qi got out of the car and checked it, except for the bruises that were strangled by the seat belt, there were no other injuries on his body.
He took out his mobile phone and saw more than 20 text messages and more than 40 missed calls, most of which were Zeng Yu's.
"You hit someone with your car, and the traffic camera captured all the passing, where are you?"
"Things are characterized as hit-and-run, everyone is looking for you, you come back quickly."
"Dr. Song said that this may be the sequelae of hemocephalus, you may have amnesia again, call this number, I will wait."
