Chapter 227: The Trick of Dreams
Seeing that Dr. Daejeon was so stubborn, Tang Juyi could only sigh:
"Okay, okay, like you said...... I'll tell you what else I saw in that hallway, but can you pull the curtains back first? I want to see the sun. ”
Dr. Daejeon's face softened slightly:
"Sunshine? It's night, where is the sunshine? ”
Tang Juyi waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter, I just don't want the space to look too closed because it makes me feel depressed."
Dr. Daejeon hesitated, but chose to get up and open the curtains:
"This ...... All right. ”
Walking to the curtain, Dr. Ota pulled the drawstring of the curtain, and then pulled it up little by little, revealing the night outside the window:
"In general, you-"
Boom!
A powerful fist struck Dr. Ota in the back of the head, causing his nerve center to be paralyzed by an overwhelming amount of signals.
He only had time to let out a short, muffled grunt before falling to the ground. Due to the presence of the carpet, Dr. Ota did not make a particularly loud noise when he fell.
Standing behind Dr. Daejeon, Tang Juyi rubbed his fists and said in a low voice:
"Get a good night's sleep, doctor."
As early as when Dr. Daejeon refused Tang Juyi to browse the contents of the record book just now, Tang Juyi had already come up with the idea of attacking Dr. Daejeon, so he casually made up a reason to distract Dr. Daejeon.
Since according to what Dr. Daejeon said, he will not allow Tang Juyi to understand what he saw and heard in the previous personalities, it also means that Tang Juyi can no longer obtain any powerful information from Daejeon's body, so Dr. Daejeon's existence is useless to Tang Juyi.
Through the previous chat conversation, Tang Juyi has realized that he is acting with the body of "Dr. Masang", and in the previous time, more than one new personality has appeared in Dr. Masang's body.
After learning this, Tang Juyi certainly understood that the key to the matter was that "corridor", so he was bound to get this record book.
Squatting down, Tang Juyi rummaged for a while and took out all the items on Datian's body.
Treatment records, keychains, access cards.
On Daejeon's body, there are only these three items.
There are a total of three keys on this keychain, but none of them have labels or numbers or other labels, so Tang Juyi naturally has no way to distinguish the uses of these keys.
The access card is printed with the words "Donghu Diagnosis and Treatment Center", and there are several men and women who can't even recognize their own mothers after highly dermabrasion and whitening, wearing uniform uniforms and giving out standardized smiles.
On the back of the access card, the name of "Daejeon Liran" and the serial number of Dr. Daejeon's work "0702" are marked
"Looks like it's going to work......"
Flipping his hand to put these two things in his pocket, Tang Juyi did not rush to read the contents of the record book, but took off Daejeon's coat and used it as a rope to tie his hands, and then pulled off Daejeon's belt to restrain his legs.
Not only that, Tang Juyi even took off his socks very inhumanely, crumpled them into a ball and stuffed them into Daejeon's mouth.
In this way, even if Dr. Daejeon wakes up, I am afraid that he will not be able to break free in a short time.
Judging from the fact that Daejeon consciously vomited even in a state of shock, the taste of his socks may not be very good.
"Okay, now it's time for the audience's favorite part of the story."
Flipping through the record book with relish, Tang Juyi browsed directly from the first page.

Patient's Name: Masang Anshi
Patient age: 47
Patient's disease type: not yet determined
First Treatment Record:
Q: Do you feel any discomfort in yourself?
Answer: I ...... I'm not so sure...... But it was clear to me that something was wrong with my dreams.
Q: What are your dreams? Do you mean the research project you are undertaking?
A: Yes, the research I am engaged in...... There has been a lot of progress, but I've been feeling a lot of uneasiness lately......
Q: Is it excessive anxiety? Or is there any other psychological problem?
A: No, not those. I'm talking about dreams, understand? Dreams are the things you experience when you fall asleep.
Q: Okay, dreams. So, Mr. Masan, what's wrong with your dreams?
A: My dreams are starting to get out of my control, which is a very dangerous sign. There were so many things that didn't belong in my head that started to pour in, and gradually took over my mind.
Q: Control? Wait, you're saying your dreams were controllable before?
A: Yes, it is! Can you not always dwell on these stupid questions?! I was able to control my dreams because that was in itself a project I was working on......
Q: So let's skip the question of controlling dreams...... What did you find in your dreams that didn't belong in your mind? What is the message? Or is it the picture?
A: I see ...... Invite......
QUESTION: I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Masan.
A: You don't need to understand. You just need to know that it is inviting me to go to the untouchable shore......
Q: Uh...... Mr. Masan, as I understand it, it is very likely that your situation is due to hallucinations or conjectures caused by excessive anxiety. Is it possible that because your research is overworked, you are-
A: That painting is the root of evil.
Q: Sorry, what painting?
A: It's that painting, the one that hangs at the end of the hallway, it's so evil that I can see clearly what it's trying to do......
Q: Hallway? Is it the image that appears in your dreams? A corridor with a painting hanging in it?
A: Yes, but it's not a dream.
Q: Okay...... So, what is it about that painting that makes you feel its evil? Or what does it draw?
A: It paints the truth.

The recording came to an abrupt end, and according to the ending notes, it seems that Dr. Masan's emotional instability had to interrupt the process of treatment inquiry.
During the whole conversation, three key things were mainly mentioned:
1. Dr. Masang Anshi can control his dreams.
2. There was some kind of unforeseen strange change in his dreams, which according to him, was "invaded".
3. He once saw a corridor in a dream, that is, the corridor with faceless portraits that Tang Juyi saw. However, judging from the content of the dialogue, at that point in time, the painting at the end of the corridor does not seem to be destroyed, but is intact.
Thinking of this, Tang Juyi already has a vague understanding of the beginning of this whole incident:
In other words, Dr. Masang Anshi has been engaged in a study of dreams, and as his research progresses, he gets closer to a certain goal, but his own dreams have also undergone strange changes, and he has begun to be invaded by things that do not belong to his mind...... It's uncertain if there's a direct link between the two, but it's mostly the case. ”
After pondering for a moment, Tang Juyi then flipped down and looked at the second treatment record.
