Chapter 3: Man, Vision, World, and Beyond

As dusk approached, the city was once again in a dark, dark tone.

Fu Jixianli, who came downstairs, stood at the door of the inpatient department for a while, and after raising his phone to look at the message, he walked in a certain direction.

After passing through the main building of the hospital, he stopped in front of an annex building at the back.

Inside the building's boxy, old-fashioned door was an overly spacious hall with an overpowered lamp hanging from the ceiling.

The harsh light reflected the white walls, the empty ceilings and the fairly clean floors above and there.

The rectangular space, which is too monotonous, creates a distinctly oppressive feeling.

The low, old building looked like something was coming out of the shadows.

"An annex away from the crowds, a cemetery in the dead of night, a crematorium that burns all the time, and ...... Hospital morgues, where the cold and cold lingers, are especially prone to all sorts of grotesque stories based on people's imagination. โ€

While whispering to himself, Fu Jixian hung the umbrella in his hand on the shelf at the door, and then walked into the interior of the building.

And at this moment, a deep voice sounded behind him without warning, "Since there is weirdness, there are naturally people who deal with this weirdness, such as ......

A special individual who suddenly awakens to a certain ability after suffering a serious car accident. โ€

Fu Ji Xianli was neither surprised nor looked back, but continued to say this, "However, what I didn't expect was that the first time I noticed that something had changed in my body, I actually met a 'same kind'...... Mr. Gento Soya, you are still the same as before, and you don't make a sound at all when you walk. โ€

When he suddenly had a certain ability, a role such as "guide" appeared appropriately, which was not so much a coincidence, Fu Jixian was immersed in a feeling of "being arranged".

When Fu Ji Xianli realized that he had a certain ability, and when he tried to control this ability, but this control was not yet familiar, a "witness" appearedโ€”the person who witnessed this "flaw" or "exposure" was Gento Soya.

At that time, both of them were patients in this hospital, and after mutual contact, there was a matter of Fu Jixianli's involvement in some kind of action before.

"Sorry, it's an occupational disease.

Fu Jixian, you are also a very professional person...... I didn't expect you to accept such a thing so quickly, normal people should be more resistant. โ€

That's because I've already experienced something even more incredible, like "backdoor rebirth" or something like that...... Of course, Fu Jixian couldn't say this kind of thing.

"It's just an activity out of inquisition and curiosity, and since my previous understanding of the world is not accurate, I certainly want to know what the real world is like."

"The three witnesses wept for a long time, repeating the words 'This is not the end of the sin.'" Zonggu Xuanren felt that Fu Ji Xianli was not adapting to those things, but was a little overadapted.

Intimidation and robbery will only attract the police at best, but who would have thought that the other party would use "zombies" against them? This kind of "surprise" really broke the spirits of the three bastards.

Of course, what exactly the monster that appeared last night was, strictly speaking, Fu Jixian hadn't figured it out yet.

"Will the police believe this nonsense?"

"Of course not."

Without taking the elevator, the two walked to the stairwell one after the other, and then went down the stairs.

The voice-activated lights in the front are on, and the voice-activated lights in the back are off.

Fu Jixian also suppressed the footsteps very slightly, but it still looked harsh in such an environment.

The different light sources in the room cast a messy reflection under the feet of the two of them, and Fu Ji Xianli glanced at Zong Gu, who was about fifty years old, with gray and sparse hair, and a thin face...... At first glance, he is the kind of person who is difficult to approach.

"Mr. Soya, why are you doing such a dangerous job? As far as I know, participating in such mysterious events often carries unspeakable dangers, and can even be said to be constantly on the verge of life and death.

Just interest? Or is it to maintain peace and protect the human order from "abnormal" intrusions? โ€

Maybe he didn't expect Fu Ji Xianli to suddenly ask such a question, and after a little silence, Zonggu Xuancai said, "It's not interest, and I don't have that kind of sentiment, it's just ......

To put it simply, there are many divisions in this world, such as smoking and non-smoking areas, fireworks display areas and non-burning areas, and deep and shallow water areas.

And you, you're a smoker, someone who wants to set off fireworks, someone who can only swim in deep water, so what do you do?

Do you understand what I'm saying? โ€

"Understood."

Fu Jixian is naturally able to understand what the other party means, and there is no more realistic motivation in the world for this statement - it is not that you choose a certain environment, but that you can only exist in a certain environment.

It wasn't until they reached the third basement floor that the two stopped going down and turned into the corridor on one side.

There were no lights in the hallway, and in the darkness, only signs such as "Safety Exit" emitted an eerie green glow.

The two stopped at a doorway at the end of the hallway, which was locked, and there was a "keep out" bar on the outside.

Stepping over the banner, Soya Xuanren opened the door and walked in three or two clicks.

When the lights are turned on, everything is revealed.

The light shone through the doorway into the hallway, and a chill seeped in.

Countless darkness in the corridor outside closed through the doorway towards the interior of the room, and the contrast between light and darkness between the interior and exterior presented a strong contrast.

The more I stood in the light, the more I felt like I was going to be swallowed up by the darkness.

"The thing you disposed of, that's where it left before."

Soya opened the box-shaped refrigerators one by one, as if to check if the other people lying here would have such a change.

"So, why was such a monster born?"

Fu Jixian's ideal is to explore the reason for this kind of thing, what kind of force makes a corpse move again?

Soya shook his head, "My job is only to deal with this kind of incident, as for in-depth theoretical research...... I haven't dabbled in it, but don't worry, if you're interested in these things, you'll have access to some answers sooner or later.

Well, there's nothing wrong here. Yesterday's matter is over, as for the next ...... You're going to go back to Yamanashi Prefecture after you're discharged from the hospital, and there's one thing you need to deal with, you ...... It would be nice if I could help. โ€

After confirming that there was nothing wrong here, Soya Xuanren handed a piece of paper to Fu Ji Xianli.

"Yes, but I'm not an ESP, so there's only a limited number of occasions I can play. You know, most of the problems that I can handle can be handled by ordinary people with heavy firepower......"

To put it simply, Fu Jixian is good at using "physical means" to deal with strange events, and if he is facing an event of the spiritual system, what he can do is quite limited.

"Understood, I think you can help with this."

Zonggu Xuanren looked at Fu Ji Xianli quietly, no matter what, he could still feel an inexplicable sense of disobedience from this young man. Soya felt that behind Fu Jixian's unexpected ability to adapt to events that were beyond common sense, there was obviously something else hidden.

Is that right? Of course yes, but is the real situation so complicated? Not really.

Now Fu Jixianli's performance is just a "deviation" from his previous life.

Once as a code farmer, his life was trapped in an endless cycle of overtime, coping with Party A, bugs, baldness, obesity, and so on.

To put it simply, his previous life can be described in one sentence:

"I'm a security guard, and I go to work to get off work."

Is this kind of life worth aspiring to?

If there are aliens, superpowers, futurists, and otherworldly people in this world, then ...... Isn't it more exciting?

It is clear that Fu Jixianli's expectations for his life are moving from one extreme to the other.
