Dr. Nguyen Le does not believe in mystery, and in the past she has always maintained a calm and objective attitude towards those phenomena that people think are incredible. I have no right to judge whether she does not recognize whether the mysterious idea is correct or not, and even I prefer that what she insists on is correct, because science is a careful and solvatory way of thinking, and the world and the future viewed by science are also a cautious and solvable future. There is nothing more uplifting than a solvable apocalypse.

For quite some time, her unwavering belief in her has also been inspiring me. Even if I observe the world from a different perspective, I still hope that she can succeed and save the world and save the world. Not only Dr. Nguyen Li, but anyone who aspires to save me, even if they are in a hostile position with diametrically opposed ideas and understandings, I can only be happy.

I never felt like I was the only one who was right, it was just that the path I was following had to be convinced that I was right, and that's it.

However, on the way to the entrance to the underground river, something strange is happening. Dr. Nguyen Li, who has always been firm and calm, showed fear in front of me for the first time. I think this is a very unusual and ominous omen, and I have some doubts about what is spooking Dr. Nguyen Li.

Just a few minutes ago, Dr. Nguyen Le told me that she was in a bad situation and that she felt that she had been eroded by the white Claudia.

White Claudia is the culprit observed by Dr. Nguyen Li based on this repeater world, which will lead to the end of the world, to me, White Claudia is not an unfamiliar name, in terms of appearance, it is also a very familiar plant. But. For this repeater world, it is far from being a medicinal plant that can create "illusions". The Doomsday Shinrikyo religion, which spontaneously emerged from this repeater world, has been very in-depth in it, involving the study of various scientific fields. Before that, I never thought that White Claudia would be in this world. Given such a powerful concept.

People from biology, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, physics and other fields to investigate the impact of Claudia White on the world and human beings, and all aspects of it have involved the most cutting-edge scientific and technological theories of this era. Dr. Nguyen Le and even the symposium only focused on the two fields of psychology and biology, and then created a "paradise".

I think that Dr. Nguyen Li may not be afraid of these strange and inexplicable mysteries, but she has seen something that others cannot see, and she feels the horror that belongs only to her. These mere things that only let her see led her to this terrible conclusion: she was being eroded.

In other words, the source of Dr. Nguyen Li's fear is precisely because she is transforming from a doctor to a patient, and the threat from Claudia that she feels when she studies Claudia as a doctor is entangled in an extremely close and profound way.

It's like a doctor who has to go to a place where the epidemic is severe to conduct research and find out that he is infected with the virus. In a desperate situation.

Her scientific knowledge allows her to understand deeply. What kind of thing is white Claudia, and it is precisely because she understands it that she feels fear. It's not a fear of the unknown, it's a fear of not being able to deal with that known situation.

Or rather, I'd rather believe it. For this reason, Dr. Nguyen Le showed the color of fear, not because he recognized the mystery and believed in the unpredictability of the mystery. I don't want her to be like me. I don't want her to have the same thoughts as me, I don't want to always believe that fate can be overcome, and everything will be scientifically analyzed, and she is cautious and has a solution, and finally falls into the fool of "fate" and "infinite unknown" like me.

My attitude towards the world I observe is constantly changing, and I have become an agnostic, and I deeply understand how negative, helpless, and desperate this perspective is. That's definitely not something everyone can bear, I don't want my loved ones, in this kind of negative and desperate belief, to force themselves to stand up, I don't want them to be silent in the face of the unknown, I hope that even if they die, they can burn their beliefs and believe in the existence of hope.

When Dr. Nguyen Li said that "I may have been eroded by Claudia white", and because of this erosion, I saw the hallucination and was terrified of this hallucination, I didn't know what kind of expression I should use to respond to her. I'm not an eloquent person, I've fallen into agnosticism, using a macroscopic and vast concept, an illogical and emotional mind, to make sense of what is seen in the eye. I don't think that such a self can say such sharp words that will allow Dr. Nguyen Le to regain the strength that he has as a materialist.

Thunder and lightning exploded in the gloomy sky, and light and shadow spread in the car, showing teeth and claws, reflecting the side face of Dr. Nguyen Li strangely and dangerously, as if she was no longer her, but something else. I don't know if it's an illusion or if it's a fluctuation in her heart, reflected in her expression, which in turn gives her an illusion.

The SUV came to a sudden stop, and Dr. Nguyen Le applied the brakes, and she said to me, "A red-coated ...... The woman in red. As she said this, her eyes fell on the rearview mirror, as if there was really such a person behind the car.

The chain judgment did not observe the woman in red she said, but only stayed in the off-road vehicle, and only the human form that chain judgment could observe had disappeared. And the one who disappeared seems to be the friend "Gus" that Dr. Nguyen Li said.

There seems to be a faint connection to all of this, but these connections are only based on my subjective thoughts. I don't want to induce Dr. Nguyen Li to be subjective, her original view is not wrong, her tenacity and rational perception when everyone else was killed by "mystery" may be the secret of her survival, and I hope that she can live like that forever, without being haunted by any illusions and mysteries.

However, if Dr. Ruan Li really confirmed that he had been eroded by Claudia White, it might be very difficult to resist illusion and mystery as he did in the past.

When Dr. Nguyen began to have doubts, his doubts seemed to be making stronger waves. Let the hallucinations go further and unfold in front of me.

"The woman in red? Where is it? I asked. Now, I can only use my experience as a mystical expert to deal with the current state of affairs.

Sure enough, as soon as my voice fell, Dr. Nguyen Li turned his head and watched me. Her face began to deform, as did her body and clothes, transforming into a woman in a red dress.

"Right here." Her voice was completely different from that of Dr. Nguyen Li, extraordinarily low alcohol, like a good wine that had been brewed for many years, exuding an intoxicating taste.

I didn't speak, just stared at her.

I only knew one thing, she had to be non-existent, sitting in the driver's seat looking at me. It's not a monster, it's Dr. Nguyen Le himself.

Even if I become an agnostic, an occultist, I must completely deny the existence of the mysterious at this time.

I don't know if I can do it, thinking concepts are always subtle, subjective surface negation, but subconscious traces abound.

But. If I don't, who else will? Do you want to admit the weirdness of the woman in red in front of you? And then kill her along with Dr. Nguyen Lê? The woman in red in front of me and Dr. Ruan Li are different beings, but they are united by the "mystery", and this kind of cognition does not need evidence at all, and it is completely out of my own sensitivity to the mystery.

I didn't respond, and experience has taught me that any response is inappropriate. Because. The answer itself represents an acknowledgment.

I knew very well that I had to fight, and that the enemy I had to defeat was not the Lady in Red, but myself.

I was silent. I imagined, I thought, this is fighting, and all this cannot be a language, it cannot be a sound. I stared at her, but I had to make myself realize that I wasn't looking at the Lady in Red, but Dr. Nguyen Li.

I could clearly feel the pressure, sweat oozing from my forehead and back.

The battle with himself lasted almost a minute.

The body of the woman in red began to become hazy, and then her appearance also became hazy, and all the impressions were left of the lipstick-covered mouth. I knew who she was, she was so familiar, but I had to forget about her and deny the idea that "she's here". With only a hazy silhouette left, she suddenly grabbed my neck, but I couldn't fight back, I couldn't move, I had to firmly believe that "Dr. Nguyen Li would not do such a thing".

I could feel my suffocation as I was choked, I could feel the monstrous power, but any response I made to it could make the situation worse, and all my counterattacks, even if they could directly defeat the woman in red, would result in Dr. Nguyen Lê being injured.

Of course, I have no evidence, and all these judgments and responses are only based on my own experience.

The feeling of suffocation became more and more intense, and I felt that my cervical spine was almost broken by her extraordinary force. However, all that remained of her body was the scarlet, seductive, hideous lips, and the rest of her body had become translucent that had almost disappeared. I grabbed the armrest of the chair hard, and the next moment she embraced me in such an illusory silhouette, and then, in my motionlessness, threw herself out of the window.

The thunder and lightning exploded again, and Dr. Nguyen Li's body stiffened, and his body kept shaking. It was as if she had just realized what she was doing. She gently removed her hand from me, I couldn't help coughing, and then quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her into my arms. I hugged her deeply, I couldn't speak, but I wanted my hug to warm her heart and let her know that I would never blame her or fear her for such things.

"Don't say you're sorry, Mom." I whispered in her ear. It is true that I still have unfinished responsibilities in this world, but if I had failed just now and been killed by her, I would never have thought of taking revenge on her, let alone resentful of such a fate.

Defeat, despair, falling into the abyss...... These are never the scariest things for me.

Dr. Nguyen Le pressed his face next to my face, I felt the liquid running down my skin, was Dr. Nguyen Le crying? She hugged me so tightly that I hugged her much harder than I hugged her.

After three or four seconds, Dr. Nguyen Li let go of her arm, and I let go of her.

Her face was no longer fragile and fearful, and she had returned to her usual strong and calm look. I am very happy to see such Dr. Nguyen Lê. I'm proud of her ability to mentally regulate herself, and I hope it will give her more hope than the horror she just had.

"I'm eroded by white Claudia." Dr. Nguyen Le said the same thing as a few minutes ago, but her tone and expression were completely different, and I could feel as if her heart was filled with something warmer and harder.

I didn't speak, just looked at her silently.

She took a deep breath, sat up straight in the driver's seat, and restarted the buggy.

"We're getting out of here." She said as if talking to herself.

Only the chain judgment can be observed, and the remaining four humanoids in the car have disappeared again.

We didn't speak again. The heavy rain outside the car was majestic, lightning and thunder, but it no longer had the terrifying power it had before, and the silence inside the car was no longer so heavy and eerie. In this small cab, there is a warm and firm atmosphere, which is like a bonfire lit in the dark, dispelling all the fear that comes from the darkness and from the association of the unknown.

The buggy climbs over rough mountain roads, sometimes smashing into pits, sometimes struggling to climb over slippery dirt slopes. We don't have a map, and Dr. Nguyen Le doesn't know exactly where to go. The details of the underground river were all in the mind of the friend named "Gus". This man may have befallen him, and the possibility of us being betrayed by him is high, but that is not a reason for us to give up on going to the underground river.

We have to do this, and we have to take the risk ourselves and look for the remaining opportunities until we get a definite result, because we have no other way out but to stay on the peninsula and face greater dangers.

I think that for Dr. Ruan Li, all kinds of accidents will happen along the way, and I have been thinking about it for a long time. Relying on others is one of the worst plans.

After another twenty minutes, Dr. Nguyen Li finally found a familiar path with his impressions. It wasn't a road, to be exact, but a crack in a mountain full of thorns. (To be continued......)
