"You're finally awake."

Laboriously open the heavy eyelids, and where you see it, there is a mottled and unfamiliar ceiling.

This scene, déjà vu?

When Hong Junfei frowned, he felt a tearing pain coming from his face,

No! Not only his face, but also his whole body, he felt similar pain......

Hong Junfei, who realized that something was wrong, began to move his head and observe the current situation he was in.

He found that he seemed to be badly injured, his whole body was bound by bandages, and even one finger was wrapped like a turnip, as if only his facial features were exposed.

The pungent smell of disinfectant water, the white quilt with a red cross on it, and the man and woman next to the bed......

Now, it looks like you're in a hospital?

"Who are you?"

Looking at the middle-aged man standing on his left side, wearing a white coat and holding a note in his hand, who seemed to be a doctor, Hong Junfei asked out loud. But when he spoke, he found that his voice was unexpectedly hoarse! It's not unpleasant, but it's also very different from the original. Inexplicably, there is a creepy feeling with people: "What kind of place is this?" ”

"Lost your memory again......"

Faced with Hong Junfei's question, the middle-aged man who seemed to be a doctor did not answer.

He spread the notes in his hand and took out a pen from his jacket pocket: "Do you remember, what is your name?" ”

"My name is Hong Junfei."

Since the other party does not cooperate with him, Hong Junfei, who is eager to figure out the current situation, can only try to cooperate with him.

"Oh, remember your name? That's fine......"

After listening to his answer, the middle-aged man recorded something in his notebook and said, "This time, what dream did you have again?" Is it an alien, a futuristic person, a person from another world, or a superpower? ”

"Dreams!?"

Hong Junfei was a little confused.

The next moment, he felt as if he remembered something!

Hospital, Tentacles, Weird, Reincarnated, Double Death Pavilion, Esoteric Spells, and ...... The endless black hand!

"Huha, huha......"

As soon as he recalled the black hand that could only be described as 'malicious', Hong Junfei broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but gasp.

The last memory in his mind was the black hand that was about to catch him.

After that, Hong Junfei didn't remember anything.

"Is that a dream......

Just woke up, Hong Junfei's mind was still a little drowsy.

He muttered to himself, "I thought I was going to die!" ”

"That's right! Those are dreams. ”

The middle-aged man looked at him very seriously: "No matter what strange things you dreamed of last night, I hope you can forget it!" Otherwise, we won't be able to treat you properly. Remember, you are a patient! All of this is just your fantasy. ”

"Patient ......"

"Fantasy ......"

After listening to his words, Hong Junfei felt a splitting headache as soon as he thought about it.

He tried to cover it with his hands, but found that his hands and feet were not only wrapped in heavy bandages, but also several seemingly slender but actually extremely strong restraint straps, which were tightly tied to this hospital bed! Even if you want to move a little, you can't do it.

This new discovery made the tension in Hong Junfei's heart more and more serious: "What is going on? ”

"Don't be in a hurry! I've told you many times, but I feel compelled to tell you about them. ”

The middle-aged man lowered his head and flipped the notes in his hand to the first few pages: "Your name is Hong Junfei, you are a Chinese living in Japan, a patient of our 'Gifu No. 4 Hospital', and I am your attending physician 'Mu Yu Yuyuki'. You used to work as a manga assistant, but due to the pressure of work, you were discovered by a friend who shared a house a year ago and had mental problems. You have a different dream every night, in which you seem to forget all your previous memories and arrange a new identity and experience for yourself. This new identity and associated experiences don't have to exist in the real world. In fact, most of the time, you claim to be an alien, a futuristic person, a person from another world, or even a superpower......"

"After our long research, we found that you should be too busy with the work of a comic assistant and unable to realize your dream of being a cartoonist, and for a long time, too much pressure has been piled up, so that you can't release it, and your spirit is oppressed, and there are problems. You begin to lose the distinction between reality and fantasy, and take the fantasy in your head for reality. Finally, even began to delete and replace self-memories...... Listen to me, even if the fantasy worlds in your dreams are real, they are just your fantasies, not real! You must accept our treatment, and slowly change the concept in your heart, so that you can return to society......"

"I'm mentally ill, I'm mentally ill?"

The middle-aged man's words made Hong Junfei a little incredulous: "You mean that everything I experienced in my previous memories is false and my fantasy?" ”

"Yes."

The other party nodded without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, he motioned to the female nurse beside him, pulled down a white curtain, and worked together to move a bulky projector from the corner, and began to play the video: "I know you have a lot of doubts, and you don't even believe what I said, but as long as you watch this, you should have an idea of your situation." ”

As he spoke, he closed the curtains, and when the light was blocked, a projection with snowflakes appeared on the white screen.

"It's ......"

As soon as the screening began, Hong Junfei was speechless.

Because, in the video played above, it turned out to be himself!

It's just that, compared to now, the injuries on his body in the video are far less so much, just simply hanging drips and a small amount of bandages.

In the video that seems to be intermittent due to poor recording methods, the person who looks the same as Hong Junfei, but has a completely different expression and temperament, tells another story, a completely different story from Hong Junfei's previous encounter! In that story, he is a student who attends the 'Wind Forest Pavilion' middle school, but secretly he is a person who has awakened special abilities and can use various powerful abilities to maintain the justice of the city in the dark. In the end, when he faced off with the leader of the villain organization, he fell into the trap of the other party and was killed by his ability.

"How? If you want to see, there's still one here. ”

Seeing that Hong Junfei was silent, the middle-aged doctor took out a new volume of videotape.

Hong Junfei, who appeared in the picture this time, obviously had a lot more injuries on his body than before, and his expression was also different, and he said another story that did not coincide with the previous one at all. In the story, he is a magistrate in the extreme western town of 'Fei Leng Cui', the former kingdom's first sword saint, in order to maintain the seal of the demon king and willing to stay in this bitter cold place, but unfortunately, the final seal was broken by the evil archmage, and he was killed.

Next, the other party showed three or four more video tapes for Hong Junfei......

Among them, there are young people who 'you will never be able to defeat me in my BGM'.

There are also young people who say that they are holding the Ten Powers Attack Sword and mastering the 'Holy Stone World' and the Ten Yang Realm!

There is even a man with glasses who has a disdainful face and often says 'the wisdom of mortals'......

"These are me."

After a long time, Hong Junfei said.

Although the expressions are different, the demeanor and temperament are different, but judging from various subtleties and small habits, the person in the video is indeed him: "It's just that I don't understand, why as the time in the video is delayed, every time I appear, there are more injuries on my body?" Is that the result of your hospital's 'treatment'? ”

"No, it's not, your injuries have nothing to do with us."

This time, before the middle-aged doctor could speak, the young female nurse on the side spoke, as if she didn't want Hong Junfei to misunderstand: "I don't know if you remember such news, that is, someone dreamed that he was caught in a fire, and after waking up, there were really traces of burns on his body." Or maybe someone was beheaded off in a dream, and when they woke up, the neck that was cut off in the dream really showed a raised red mark......"

"You mean ......"

Hong Junfei understood what the other party wanted to say.

"You're right."

The middle-aged doctor flipped through his notes, and then continued with the nurse's unfinished words: "Although it is very unreasonable and strange, you do have a terrible illness that brings a part of the damage you suffered in your dreams to reality. Before you came here, you had multiple fractures all over your body because you dreamed that you were falling off a cliff. After coming here, the end of every dream you have is generally not a good thing. Correspondingly, when you wake up, you will have more injuries on your body. For example, if you dream that your hand is cut off, a ring of blood will appear on your arm. If you dream that you are beaten to death, your whole body will be bruised. If you dream that you are caught in a fire, then you will burn all over your body. If it weren't for the fact that you would have inherited only a portion of these injuries, you would have died long ago...... That's why we feel that your situation is dangerous and that we have to watch every day before you wake up. ”

"So, tell us what you saw in your dreams this time!"

The middle-aged man turned on the video function: "This is for your safety, please say it as it is." ”

"This time......

Hong Junfei was about to speak, and the endless black hand seemed to come alive in his mind again, surging constantly!

He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say a word......

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's not that he can't say it, it's that he can't tell the story of the experience in words.

"Don't you say it...... You've only seen this happen twice in the past. The sequelae after waking up twice almost killed you! Looks like you've encountered something terrifying this time! ”

Staring at Hong Junfei for a long time, seeing that he didn't mean to speak, the middle-aged man sighed, turned off the power of the video recorder, and instructed the female nurse next to him: "Xiao Ren, you go and help him check it well, don't miss any details." Also, put the mind controller on him, he needs treatment now,"

"Hello!"

The nurse named Shinobu agreed, and took out a pile of tools from the cabinet in the corner of the side.

One of the most striking is a metal helmet.

It has dozens of wires connected to it, and there are sharp plugs like needles, which looks very hideous.

This helmet is more like a torture instrument than a healing instrument, and it is obviously meant to be worn on the head!

At the first sight of it, Hong Junfei felt that something was wrong.

"Is it because of my dreams that I became a little suspicious......

Because of the inexplicable discomfort, Hong Junfei's body stiffened for a while, and then relaxed again.

After all, he is an adult, just like an injection, even if there is some fear, as long as there is a therapeutic effect, he can accept it calmly. In fact, even if Hong Junfei wanted to resist and struggle, it was useless. Not to mention how many injuries there were under that bandage, just the few restraint bands fixed on the iron bed could hold him firmly and unable to move.

It's closer......

The female nurse took a bunch of instruments and came to Hong Junfei's side.

First, she had to put that weird helmet on it.

It is false to say that he is not nervous, Hong Junfei suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and watched all this silently.

Until......

He smelled a foul smell!

Although the stench is very light, it goes straight to the nose and is disgusting.

For some reason, the first time he smelled this stench, Hong Junfei knew what it was.

That's the stench of corpses!

At this moment, Hong Junfei's heart was completely tightened.

"Isn't this a ward? Why is there a corpse smell? ”

Perhaps because of the stimulation of this smell, Hong Junfei escaped the inducement of the middle-aged male doctor for the first time.

And it is precisely because of this that he accidentally discovers a terrible truth!

It was summer afternoon, and when he closed the curtains before, Hong Junfei had seen several emerald trees.

But until now, he had not heard any sound from outside the ward.

Cicadas chirp.

Vocals.

Murmur.

None of them!

It's too quiet here......

The silence was terrifying.

There is no need for mantra guidance or careful meditation.

Suddenly, Hong Junfei felt the mysterious existence in the underworld and reconnected with himself!

At the first time, he understood what the other party was.

That's—

Doom turns to the sky!

"Wasn't it a dream? Why, I can still sense Hiroshi Shimatsu's patron saint......"

In Hong Junfei's mind, there seemed to be a flash of lightning, and he had already grasped some of the context of the matter.

At this moment, the iron helmet that the female nurse was holding in her hand was about to cover his head!

"I can't put it on."

The unprovoked premonition made Hong Junfei react accordingly.

The first is a deep breath that has no scruples, as if it wants to burst the lungs......

Next, he exhaled that breath again, in an extremely gentle manner.

One in and one out, between profit and loss, Hong Junfei could feel that a force was pouring out from the deepest part of his body!

Buzz Buzz......

In the subtle sound, a layer of fluorescence appeared on Hong Junfei's body.

And this layer of fluorescence seems to make both female nurses and middle-aged doctors frightened, and they can't help but take a few steps back!

Looking at this layer of fluorescence, Hong Junfei inexplicably had an understanding.

This time, he didn't use the power of Doom to turn into the sky, this fluorescence, it was his life ripple!

Syllable!

Hong Junfei, who was covered in fluorescence, just pulled it lightly, and tore off all the restraint belts on his hands and feet.

And the bandages wrapped around his body also collapsed under the action of the slowly expanding muscles!

It wasn't until this moment that Hong Junfei saw how huge the number of wounds he had all over his body.

Those wounds that are different from the old and the new, and have not yet healed, began to slowly close under the action of fluorescence and ceased to be hideous.

"What are you doing!"

The middle-aged doctor looked at all this, his face became extremely hideous, and he roared loudly: "Hong Junfei, aren't you willing to cooperate with the treatment!" You just want to die so much? ”

"yes!"

The female nurse named Ren also shouted, "Hong Jun, we haven't examined you for the injury you suffered in your dream last night. If you move again, I'm afraid you will be in danger! And, as we have proven before, if you don't cooperate with our appliance treatment, you'll only have an even more terrible nightmare tonight. Your spirit is already in trouble! ”

"My injuries are not serious enough to be life-threatening......"

Looking at them and then at himself, Hong Junfei finally couldn't help but smile and said, "Moreover, I don't know if I will have nightmares tonight, I only know that if I really cooperate with your 'treatment', I'm afraid I won't even wait for the night, and I'll be dead!" Those things...... Is it really a therapeutic device? ”

“……”

Hearing his words, the middle-aged doctor and female nurse were rarely silent and lowered their heads.

When their heads were raised again, their normal facial features were replaced by a horrible face covered in blood, with only black holes left in their eyes, and rotting for an unknown amount of time! Even their bodies became twisted.

"You found out?"

As their appearance changed, so did their voices.

Before, the voice of a middle-aged male doctor was rich and magnetic, easy to be trusted, and the voice of a female nurse was soft and sweet, which made people fascinated. But at this moment, the voices of the two of them became exactly the same, the kind of screaming that seemed to come from the Nine Shadows, piercing and terrifying, like the last wail of a person before he died!

"Now that you've found out, then, go and die......"

Before the words fell, they stopped abruptly!

I don't know when, Hong Junfei rushed to the two of them...... No! In front of the inhuman.

His left and right fists, with that layer of colored fluorescence, were deeply embedded in the other person's face.

"That's a lot of nonsense."

Since he found out that something was wrong, how could Hong Junfei wait for the other party to make the first move?

The fluorescent glow wrapped around his fist seems to have a special damage bonus to such weirdness. At the first touch, the rotten faces of these two inhuman beings melted as quickly as butter. Even, not only their faces, but even their bodies, in the shortest possible time, melted into a pool of foul-smelling, turbid black water!

That's it?

Looking at the two pools of liquid under his feet, which were as viscous as oil and constantly emitted a pungent smell, Hong Junfei frowned.

It seems that the opponent's combat effectiveness is mainly reflected in illusion and confusion, and it is not very strong when it comes to real fighting.

Of course, this is also based on the layer of fluorescence in his hand, which has a strong restraint effect on these things.

"Is this the third world......

With the destruction of the two ghosts, the ward where Hong Junfei was located also began to change dramatically.

The illusion has been shattered, and the truth is revealed!

Here, it seems to be an alley that is closed on all sides.

The high walls are covered with iron thorn nets to prevent theft.

Surrounded by some wooden houses, it looks like there is a lot of history and a sense of vicissitudes.

The tree that Hong Junfei had seen through the window of the ward was standing next to a house on the left, but it was different from the green appearance in the illusion, it was dry, decaying, and had long lost its vitality. On the crooked branches, there was even a bird's nest made of withered grass, and the dried corpse of a bird hung on it......

Hong Junfei's left and right fists before hit the wall of this ghost alley!

From the black stains of the two figures, like bloodstains from a long time ago, it can be seen that the middle-aged doctor and the female nurse are ghosts attached to them.

No!

Actually, it's not just two ghosts.

The sky was already dark at this time, and night was coming.

But for some reason, Hong Junfei found that his vision was not affected in any way, such as in the daytime.

Hong Junfei could see that in addition to the two humanoid smudges on the wall that had begun to fade gradually, there were three small and three third, and six other humanoid smudges...... It's just strange that they don't come out to hurt themselves.

Hong Junfei is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of the problem, so he didn't think much about it.

After all, those ghosts didn't come out, which wasn't a bad thing for him.

Following the faint smell on the tip of his nose, Hong Junfei found an iron lid in the innermost part of the alley. After opening it, he found a total of eight decomposed corpses underneath. The stench that Hong Junfei smelled before obviously came from here. It was thanks to this stench that he was able to wake up from his vision and finally kill the two ghosts.

"It's all Earthbound Spirits."

Looking at these corpses, Hong Junfei only felt no joy or sorrow in his heart, and he couldn't say any emotions.

Here, he clearly saw that one of the largest corpses, without a head.

Come to think of it, the helmet that the female nurse wanted to bring for him before was this missing skull, right? It's just that after the illusion is shattered, it disappears, and I don't know where it went. The only thing that can be known is that if Hong Junfei really obeys the other party and wears that skull as a healing device, there must be no good results!

At this time, Hong Junfei also found that as the sky got late, the remaining humanoid stains on the wall became more and more obvious.

It seems that they didn't want to let Hong Junfei go, but it wasn't the time for them to come out before......

"Disappear!"

Casually ripped off a rag from the corpse, and the fluorescent light in Hong Junfei's hand spread, and it actually began to burn.

Throw the burning pieces of clothing into this cave, and in an instant, the fire is on fire!

Seeing that as the fire intensified, the stains on the wall continued to fade and flow out of the previous petroleum-like black foul-smelling liquid, Hong Junfei knew that these remaining earthbound spirit powers were not as powerful as the previous two, which was why they had to wait until it was dark to come out. This time, the matter of Ghost Alley was solved by him.

Immediately, Hong Junfei jumped high with all his strength, and jumped more than three meters high! Then, with a stretch of his hand, he grabbed the gap in the top of the alley wall, and took advantage of the barbed wire blockade to come to another path.

It is true that Hong Junfei has a lot of questions in his heart.

He wanted to know what had happened in the Second World, the Pavilion of the Dead.

I also want to know why my mindset has changed.

I want to know where Shi Songhong went, why he appeared in this ghost alley, and he also has the power of 'fluorescence', which at first glance is not something ordinary people can have......

To be honest, there were too many questions in his heart, and for a while, he didn't have the slightest clue.

It's just that Hong Junfei's top priority is to find a hospital to check his body.

After all, although 'fluorescence' has a miraculous effect on injuries, in addition to the wounds that can be seen on the surface, he also wants to know if there is a change in his body!

"Good luck......

After walking for dozens of meters, as soon as he turned the corner of the alley, Hong Junfei saw a shining signboard.

It was a private clinic, and the words on it stated that it was open 24 hours a day.

However, before Hong Jun could fly over, he smelled a foul smell again......

This stench was even more intense than the stench of corpses he had smelled before!

As soon as Hong Junfei smelled it, he felt dizzy, and an irrepressible feeling of nausea and vomiting welled up in his heart.

He didn't know if he had an illusion because of overstimulation, and he actually 'saw' the stench!

That's human?

Or is it a monster?

Following the stench visible to the naked eye, Hong Junfei saw a figure......

At this moment, Hong Junfei was stunned.

It's hard to describe!
