As a remnant, Francis Farmer rarely thought about what state she was in.

Because that doesn't make sense to her.

But she knew that she wasn't really Francis Farmer.

The real Francis Farmer had her loboon removed in the 40s of the 20th century in Malcolm's nursing home, but she did not die.

But at that time, she, Francis Farmer, who was the remnant of the soul, was also born at the same time.

Therefore, she is not a ghost born after death in the ordinary sense.

For a long time after her birth, she was in a state of confusion, with no ability to think, only some animal-like instincts.

These instincts told her that she was weak.

She couldn't leave Malcolm's Sanatorium, or even be around some of the stronger adults.

- The soul of the other party can cause a certain amount of interference to her remnant soul, so that even the last bit of memory and obsession disappears.

In that case, she would literally become a fragment of her unconscious soul.

In desperation, she had no choice but to hide underground in Malcolm's sanatorium.

At that time, the dragon had not yet been born, but the dragon vein was already there.

She hides in the dragon vein, as the nourishment of the dragon vein, and there is no sense of existence.

If nothing else happens, then she will still slowly lose her last memories and obsessions, and then turn into ordinary soul fragments.

At that time, she will be completely absorbed by the dragon veins and eventually become a part of the dragon born in the future.

Just as food that is eaten by people becomes part of the human body.

However, I don't know if the dragon conceived in this dragon vein is lucky or unlucky, it is entrenched in the underground of Malcolm Sanatorium-

Dr. Malcolm Heard, who had the white matter of Francis's lobo, really liked it and was very good at this surgery.

Before this surgery was abolished altogether, a large number of mentally ill patients in Malcolm's sanatorium had their lobopolum white matter removed.

Many of them have also produced faint remnants.

Like Francis, those remnants were guided by instinct to hide under Malcolm's sanatorium, and then became the nourishment for the dragon.

Such a large number of artificially created remnant souls greatly accelerated the speed at which the dragon veins could give birth to dragons.

But on the other hand, these remnant souls that can also be absorbed by the dragon vein, but unlike the soul fragments that have no traces of consciousness at all, they still have a small amount of consciousness-

This makes the consciousness of the bred dragon no longer pure.

Francis, the consciousness of these remnant souls was directly mixed into the consciousness of the dragon, occupying a considerable proportion.

Of course, if there is no accident in the future, the dragon will only sleep underground for a long time, then Francis and their consciousness bodies that have been mixed into the dragon's consciousness will be purified sooner or later.

At that time, the dragon's consciousness was no different from that of a normal dragon.

However, before being purified, Francis and the others can use the eyes or abilities of dragons to perceive all kinds of things that are happening in Malcolm's sanatorium.

- although it is only a perceptual one.

At that time, their remnant souls were still in a state of confusion, and they had no sense of what was happening.

- They are like trees or mountains, they have seen everything, but they are not affected in the slightest.

However, the filming of the crew of "Rouge Robbery" in the Malcolm Sanatorium sanatorium changed all this again-

The real reproduction of her own experience back then stimulated Francis Farmer's consciousness to a certain extent and made her sober up.

The other remnants absorbed by the dragon were also victims of lobotomy, and their shared experience resonated with them.

Eventually, centered on Francis's consciousness, a new aggregate of consciousness was born.

Although as a single entity, they are all weak remnants, but when they come together, they are powerful.

They can even use the power of the dragon to think normally, with Francis as the main body.

To this extent, it would be correct to say that they are actually Francis Farmer.

- It's just that this Francis Farmer is the same Francis when the white matter of the loboon was removed, not Ms. Farmer, who died in 1970.

Such Francis, naturally, will take revenge.

So, in 1982, shortly after the release of the movie "Red Lady Robbery", Francis, who gradually mastered part of the dragon's power, killed Dr. Malcolm Heard, who lived in Malcolm's sanatorium in his later years.

- that is, the person who removed the white matter of her brain back then.

At that moment, Francis was happy.

However, as many philosophers have said, being able to think is not only the essence of human beings, but also the source of human suffering.

Even ghosts who can think about the same will face such problems.

Because of his anger and hatred, Francis hopes to leave Malcolm's sanatorium for revenge.

After all, Dr. Malcolm wasn't the only one who caused her to happen back then.

But because of the limitations of the dragon's strength, she couldn't leave.

She could only watch the daily life of countless mentally ill people in Malcolm's nursing home, day after day.

Just like when she was in a psychiatric hospital.

Of course, after many reforms and investigations, Malcolm Sanatorium is now free of all the darkness and persecution of the past. But even so, looking at such a scene, Francis still instinctively disgusted.

She wants to leave, if not for revenge.

But she couldn't leave.

To the maximum, she would be able to take advantage of the dragon's periodic mirage to allow herself and the other remnants in the Consciousness Aggregate to move on the ground like ordinary ghosts.

More often than not, she is still hidden underground, silently enduring as the only awake consciousness in the consciousness aggregate.

At the same time, due to the instinct of the ghost, she will unconsciously borrow the power of the dragon and constantly reproduce her cause in Malcolm's sanatorium.

— or "the way of death".

Fortunately, the removal of lobole white matter is not death in the true sense of the word after all.

And the only people she can influence are those who are really mentally weak and have various problems.

Therefore, in nursing homes, there are just more patients with severe dementia symptoms.

This is almost a commonplace thing for psychiatric hospitals, and no one cares.

In fact, it was those patients who were also separated by her power and had a small remnant of their souls, so they became demented similar to those after lobotomy.

As for the remnants, like Francis, they were absorbed by the dragon.

- Although for a moment, they still retain their consciousness and will not be completely transformed.

Before meeting Charlotte, Francis didn't think about whether it was right or not, it was like her instinct.

But hearing Charlotte's reminder, Francis, who had had the white matter of her brain lobotomy, suddenly realized that she had become the person she hated before-

Just like Dr. Malcolm Heard really turned normal people into dementia by removing the white matter of other people's brains, she is now using the power of dragons to strip away part of the souls of living people and make them dementia.

What is the difference between this and the dragon that devours the souls of the living?
