Everything around is gone again.

……

"Doctor Zhang" also returned to the blood-soaked space...... He still had the knife in his hand, and in front of him, the emaciated man struggled again, crawling out of the pool of blood.

"Hey, hey~ you...... Finally...... Remember? ”

He suppressed his voice and said that because his lungs had been pierced through an unknown number of holes, he couldn't catch his breath when he spoke.

"This ...... What's going on......" Dr. Zhang asked, at this moment, he was immersed in the memory of the recovery he had just recovered, and the hatred for the man opposite had long since disappeared.

"You already know that, don't you...... You kill a woman and then disguise yourself as a psychopath to evade responsibility. And in the long world after that, you gradually can't stand your true inner world, so your subconscious self-seals the painful memories and becomes a real ...... "mental patient". Hehe, it's funny that the hypocrisy even cheats on himself......" the man responded.

Dr. Zhang looked at his bloodstained hands again......

The sharp knife in the hand of "Snap ......" fell into the blood, he squatted down crying bitterly, rubbed his eyes with the palms of both hands, and then inserted it into his hair, pulling it out desperately, letting the blood stain all over his head.

"I killed her...... Whining...... I'll kill her!! ”

He wailed in his throat, a sense of confusion and sadness in his voice.

The man standing next to him was surprised to see him like this. "Huh? What are you crying about? He asked.

"Doctor Zhang" was stunned for a moment...... He raised his head and looked at the other party blankly, blood and tears mixed together, making his face look muddy, and he looked at the other party with an inexplicable expression, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer this question.

"I ...... I killed someone......" Dr. Zhang controlled his emotions for a moment, and then the ghost made a miraculous response.

Unexpectedly, the other party's words once again made him not know what kind of expression to put on, and even the sadness and self-blame that had just been condensed dissipated a lot.

"It's just killing...... Are you crying because you kill someone? And only killed one! Are you a child? The man said, and there was a slight disgust in his tone.

"Doctor Zhang" was stunned, there was still a tear in the corner of his eye, but the sadness in his eyes was completely covered by shock...... "You...... What are you talking about? He couldn't help yelling, because what the other party said was beyond his comprehension.

"Hypocrisy, all people are hypocritical, without exception, people know that they can't change everything, but they are reluctant to leave, so they can only live in the utopia built in their hearts while suffering silently, giving their bodies to reality, but their souls are wandering between fantasy and happiness...... This is the prototype of hypocrisy, and besides, you can deceive yourself to the point where you can't tell the difference between reality and illusion, and to be honest, I appreciate you. The man said in a slightly faster voice: "However, your murder methods are really too bad, and impulsive, in fact, as long as you endure for another year and a half, make some illusions of mutual affection, and find a thing that you absolutely do not want her to die as an opportunity, so it would be good to do it casually and make an accident look like it, on your wedding anniversary, you drank too much gas poisoning, was electrocuted while taking a bath, fell to your death, and the worst thing is that you make some hands and feet on the co-pilot's seat belt, and make a traffic accident on a snowy day." If you're lucky, you can get an insurance, and the money is enough for you to change a woman every week for the rest of your life. …… So it's really ...... to say murderers like you Ay...... It's so unreliable. ”

The man said wah-la-wow, and at this time, Dr. Zhang was really dumbfounded, he looked at the other party with a crazy look, and then, he really saw the kind of "I am optimistic about you" appreciation and "hate iron does not become steel" in the other party's expression.

"Yes...... But didn't you waste so much effort to expose me and bring me to justice? Dr. Zhang asked tremblingly, but he still couldn't believe what the other party said...... This madman, who went so far as to say that he admired himself, and that after that, he seemed to be ...... Teach yourself how to kill?

"Debunking? Come on~ Who has the time to expose a third-rate murderer like you, I just found an interesting "anomalous object" and used you for an experiment! The man stared at him and said weakly.

"Huh? What are anomalous objects? Dr. Zhang was completely confused, and he felt that this should be the most absurd dream he had ever had in his life.

The man on the other side sighed, showing some impatience, but replied anyway, "Uh...... Anomalous items, it's that pair of chairs, a total of two~ can allow one person to enter the consciousness world of another person, it seems that it was made more than a century ago, with a very strange process...... The effect is ~ like a ...... used to treat mental illness Actually, I think it's okay to use it for interrogation, whatever. ”

Dr. Zhang's mouth was wide open, he seemed to understand the other party's words, but he didn't seem to understand. So they just didn't say a word, and looked at each other stupidly.

The emaciated man waved his hand: "Okay, you don't understand it too much, but you should remember all your own stories, so go and open the door......"

After saying that, he pouted and motioned for the other party to look in that direction.

"Dr. Zhang" looked over, and as far as the eye could see, a ward door slowly emerged, becoming clearer and clearer, and on the door, it was covered with intertwined iron chains, intertwined, and converged into a huge combination lock.

"What is this? Dr. Zhang asked calmly, and at this moment, he felt that he could accept no matter how bizarre the scene was.

"This is the lock in the deepest part of your heart~ and only you can open it." The man on the side also replied quietly

After listening to this, Dr. Zhang froze, then hesitated for a few seconds and exhaled a long breath.

It seems to be a lot easier.

This breath was mixed with the deepest fear and deception in his heart, and it was held in his throat for more than ten years.

He walked towards the door...... Come to the giant lock. On the front of the lock, there is a three-digit wheel code.

Dr. Zhang looked at the combination lock, then at his hospital gown, and his gaze lingered on the "202" on his chest.

Immediately afterward, he reached out and dialed the number 202 on the dial.

This is his sick number.

He remembered it, admitted it, and naturally understood why he became a psychopath......

The number of this hospital gown is the lock in his deepest heart, and it is also the beginning of another path in his life......

And the end of the lock is his story.

……

"Click".

The locks opened, and the chains fell like old cobwebs.

Door...... Also opened......

……

……

……

Chen Xiao opened his eyes.

The first second that caught his eye was the wall, the bald red bricks piled up crookedly, the bottom covered with moss, and the rotting atmosphere of wood rushed into his nose, making him shrug his nose.

He knew that he had woken up, out of that dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream......

He followed the consciousness of "Dr. Zhang", luring him again and again to solve the puzzles in the dream, through layers of shackles,

It's still that unreal trance~ But because he has experienced it too many times, he has long been used to this feeling.

Next, he turned his head to look at his right. There was a person sitting there, wearing a hospital gown, and with Chen Xiao's observation, he could clearly see the patient number on his chest.

"Patient No. 202" ...... That is, "Doctor Zhang" in the dream.

At the moment, he still had his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.

Chen Xiao lowered his head again, in fact, he knew that he must still be sitting on that strange-shaped chair...... He didn't know how it worked, but he knew that the chair was the gateway between the dream gaps.

……

……

……

In fact, the XX City Psychiatric Hospital has been around for some years, and as early as the beginning of the last century, he was the first batch of psychiatric hospitals to be established.

After more than a century of changes, this psychiatric hospital has undergone countless renovations, large and small, and what is presented in front of our eyes is already what it is now, and its earliest appearance has long been forgotten to the corner of history.

A few days ago, a water pipe under a men's toilet at this hospital suddenly burst. Although the hospital quickly arranged emergency repairs, the floor of the toilet collapsed due to various reasons such as the water pressure of the location.

It is this small episode that makes a room that has been sealed for more than a century reappear in front of people's eyes.

And the ...... placed in this room It's those two oddly shaped chairs.

Seeing this, everyone who sits down again should know without thinking about it, these two chairs are the "anomalous objects" referred to by this mission.

And our hard-working and capable Comrade Xiaoxiao came to this mental hospital in less than 20 minutes, of which 15 minutes were still on the road, and confirmed that these two chairs were the goals of this mission.

Nonsense, at this point in time, such a big pit that suddenly collapsed, such a small room that had been buried for a hundred years, and two chairs with such a strange shape. Even a fool can see that there is something wrong with this chair!

In fact, if other field team personnel are to carry out this task, it should be just to ask a few people to carry it away directly, although the mission report will be ugly, but at least there is no danger.

But Chen Xiao's product is different, holding the ............ of not being able to die without the number of words Ah, no, no, it's with a serious and cautious work attitude, and he is ready to try out what the "anomaly" of these two chairs is.

Therefore, Chen Xiao relied on the certificate issued by the foundation to him with high authority, and insisted that the hospital find a patient and sit on these two chairs with him.

In fact, the hospital didn't understand why this ugly-looking person had such a strange request, but since the other party spoke, there was no way, after all, the authority of the certificate was scary, so it was good to give him a patient, and it was not an excessive request.

And the unlucky guy chosen is "Dr. Zhang".

Next, after the two sat on the chair together, Chen Xiao entered the other party's world of consciousness...... And then you know what happened after that.

As for why Chen Xiao entered the consciousness world of "Dr. Zhang", instead of the other way around, Chen Xiao has not yet understood this question, and it is estimated that it is related to the seat of the chair, maybe one is the output end, and the other is the input end, just like the synapses of the nervous system.

Also, the reason why the key point between each dream is a string of numbers may be due to the fact that the technology of this "spiritual intervention" is not yet mature, and can only use the most basic numbers to connect with each other, such as Chinese characters, or a certain object, or even an entire event, and the technology at that time was not up to the level of completing this kind of operation.

But in general, the "abnormal characteristics" of these two chairs have been cracked by Chen Xiao.

At the same time, by the way, he also untied the knot in the heart of a mentally ill person for more than ten years.

"Drink......"

An exclamation of surprise came from his ears.

Chen Xiao didn't even have to think about it, it must have been that "Patient No. 202" who woke up.

So, he turned his head and looked in that direction.

I saw that the other party also looked around blankly, and finally turned his head to look at himself.

He shook his head slightly, making himself much more sober, and then looked Chen Xiao up and down, hesitating for a long time......

"Here...... Is it real? ”

He asked blankly.

Chen Xiao looked away from the other party, lowered his head and untied the restraint belt around his waist, and stood up.

"Real? Hehe, I didn't expect a guy with such an experience like you to care about what's real? Chen Xiao responded, twisting his somewhat stiff neck.

"Patient No. 202" was silent, he looked down and didn't know where to look, and it took a long time before he slowly raised his head...... looked at each other and leaked a meaningful smile: "Yes, is it real, what does it matter?" ”

Chen Xiao shrugged his shoulders, saying that he didn't want to listen to the other party discuss this kind of problem, he had roughly figured out the functions of the two chairs, and the man who was still sitting on the chair at the moment was just a prop in his mission, so immediately after, Chen Xiao came to the back of the chair, and took out a piece of paper from the small partition that could print the key numbers in the dream on the paper page by some unknown method.

He looked at the numbers on the page

“202”

Nodding in satisfaction.

Afterwards...... He tore it to shreds.

Then he came to another chair.

He reached out and was about to reach for the note from the back of the chair.

Suddenly, his hand stopped......

"Here...... Is it real? ”

The question of patient 202 just now came to his mind again.

Chen Xiao hesitated

……

……

No, this has been hesitating for him for quite a long time.

About a minute passed

He smiled, laughed happily, he clearly thought of something.

"What if...... These two chairs are not as simple as allowing one person to enter the dream of another? ”

He muttered to himself.

Then, he slowly withdrew his hand from reaching for the piece of paper.

He suddenly didn't want to look at the numbers on that piece of paper.

It stands to reason that it should have "202" written on it

But it may not be.

But what does it matter.

Authentic...... Or unreal.

Do you need to be so clear?

The most important

……

……

It's going to be fun!

(Do you understand?) Hey, hey, hey. A tribute to Inception...... Of course, I still can't write the feeling in the movie, so keep trying, I think I still have a lot of room to rise. ）
