Chapter 10: Fantasy Materializes
Dr. Schreber, who was contemplating life in a huge pool, was restrained by an invisible force and was lifted out of the pool.
"Oh! Damn, it's time to rest! ”
Apparently Schreber had taken the people who had kept him out of the water for those black-clad zombies. It's just that Lin Ming didn't plan to continue this cunning doctor to play the so-called role-playing game.
"Alright, don't pretend, Dr. Schreber. You know who I am. ”
"Ah, John, I knew you were coming! But I didn't expect you to be able to do this now. This time, Schreb was really surprised, he was thrown by Lin Ming on the platform by the pool.
Dr. Schreber got up from the ground in some embarrassment, and he lifted his glasses with a kind smile. However, he was wearing clothes that were already soaking wet.
"I want to know where those monsters in black are."
Lin Ming's words made Dr. Schleber slightly surprised, and asked, "Could it be that you are not curious about what is going on in this city, what are those black-clothed monsters?" And don't you want to get your memories back? ”
Lin Ming sneered, it was true that he was indeed curious at first. But now he has no such curiosity at all. How the city is has nothing to do with him. Those black-clad monsters have gradually changed from hunters to prey as his abilities have increased.
Yes, while Lin Ming found that his abilities were growing, he could already vaguely feel some black-clothed monsters that were still active in the city. They seem to be looking for something.
Lin Ming knew who they were looking for, but his ability could shield the perception of these black-clothed monsters. So they didn't know that Lin Ming was not far from them, and then they quickly left in the opposite direction.
And Lin Ming had a vague desire in his heart, that is, the fragile body hidden in the brain of these black-clothed monsters seemed to be able to better enhance his strength.
Kill them, devour their abilities. Lin Ming had such an impulse in his heart, so he took advantage of the fact that midnight had not yet come this time to find Dr. Schreber.
Because Lin Ming planned to strike first, he didn't want to continue playing this boring decryption game. The clues on his body were of no value to him at all.
He searched for these clues, and in the end he could only get more doubts, and possibly put himself in some kind of dangerous situation. The more you know, the more you stray from the truth.
In that case, why bother with the boring question of who you are, you just need to get to the root of it. So he chose to go directly to Dr. Schreber.
So Lin Ming said calmly: "Thank you, I don't want to!" All I know is that you can help me. And you seem willing to help me deal with those black-clad monsters. This proves that there is a basis for cooperation between us. So I'm here to work with you, and I need you to tell me, what exactly is this power? How to strengthen him, how to reclaim the city from the black-clad monsters. ”
Lin Ming waved his hand, and a stream of water rose in the pool, but it turned into a black-scaled python and rushed towards Dr. Schreber. Schreb could even smell the stench coming from the python's mouth.
However, when this giant python was about to swallow him in one gulp, it turned into water again and was sent back by Lin Ming.
Schreb was taken aback, but then he asked, "This is simply impossible, why did your strength suddenly increase to such an extent?" ”
Schreb was really curious this time, and it was clear that John was a pawn he was using against the men in black. But now the chess piece is about to get out of his grasp.
"I don't know, but I can feel that this power is increasing all the time. It's not just about manipulating objects and changing matter. And I can also realize what I have imagined and create what I want to obtain. ”
Lin Ming's hand had an extra flashlight-like thing in his hand at this time, which looked a little longer than an ordinary flashlight. In fact, it is more like the hilt of a sword.
Then something happened that made Schleber incomprehensible, and a faint blue light came out of the flashlight in Lin Ming's hand, but this light was restrained by a force and turned into something that looked like a fluorescent tube.
Schreiber didn't want to be stabbed by that fluorescent tube, because he could sense the danger of it. It was clear that Lin Ming's ability had undergone some kind of change that he had not expected.
For example, he can control it freely, for example, it has been strengthened to a degree that is more powerful than the leader of the strange man in black he has seen. And not only can you change things, but you can also give shape to imaginary objects that do not exist in this world.
"It's never something that 'FM' can do, it's impossible!"
Lin Ming took back the lightsaber in his hand, turned it back into a sword hilt and stuffed it into the pocket of his windbreaker, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, there is nothing impossible about this." I'm here to ask you how to get to where those black-clad monsters are. ”
Lin Ming had a feeling that everything he needed and the truth he wanted to know were there. It was a strange feeling, but it made him feel like he could leave this eerie world of cinema.
Although the lightsaber in Lin Ming's hand disappeared without a trace, Schreb had no idea of escaping, and only heard him ask in a deep voice, "Why did you become so calm after discovering the strangeness and unreality of this city. This should not be the reaction of a normal person. ”
"Could it be that I should have lost control of my emotions, lost my mind, and become crazy. Then keep looking for clues that represent memories, like playing a jigsaw puzzle, find all the pieces and put them together. Then I can find my true self? No, I don't think so. The so-called John Murdoch is just the next identity that you, the doctor, have prepared for me, or another memory. And what exactly this memory contains is difficult to understand. But I guess it could be a female murder maniac. ”
Schreiber had already changed his dry clothes, and he sat down on the chair next to the bath, and he did not look at all flustered as before. On the contrary, now, there is a kind of wisdom that seems to be able to see through people's hearts in his small eyes.
"Very, very smart, well, it's true that this is one of the identities they were drawn into. You are very unlucky to be selected as a murderer. So I need to arrange for you a homicide scene, a broken and unsustainable marriage. And, of course, your perverted hobby. ”
Lin Ming stopped the doctor from continuing, "But these are not me!" And I'm curious, in such a huge city, all the memories come from the hands of you alone, doctor? You must know that although this city is a little weird, there are millions of humans living in it. ”
"Of course, it can't be that everyone's memories are made up like this. I know more about human nature than they do. That's why I like to make some interesting and impulsive plots. I like to do it. And the rest of the boring and repetitive work is left to them as the best suit. ”
Lin Ming was silent for a moment, looking at the light of the pool that reflected in the pool, and a dappled and deep light and shadow reflected in this hall, "I'm really curious now." ”
"I come here often because it allows me to have a moment of peace. Because they hate water, or rather, they are afraid. ”
Lin Ming said quietly: "There is finally a 'weakness'. But what are they? And purpose! ”
Schleber glanced at Lin Ming calmly, "Okay, let me say that you are their experiment first." Actually, we all are! You're not crazy......"
Lin Ming interrupted Schreber's continuation, "I know I'm not crazy, and I've guessed that the whole city is a playground for these monsters. But I wonder what exactly they want to do. Could it be that this experiment has never been successful? ”
However, at this moment, Schleber suddenly took out a pistol from his arms and aimed it at Lin Ming, while he was holding a syringe in his other hand, only to hear him: "I'm sorry, really, but we don't have much time, I can only do this." Everything you want to know, it's in this syringe, and I think you need to inject it, it's the only way you know everything! ”
Schreeber suddenly felt a tightening of his wrist, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't help but let go of the hand holding the pistol. The syringe in the other hand was taken by Lin Ming and put into his coat pocket.
"Doctor Schreber, are you kidding? As if you forgot, I'll 'tune in' too. Also, I don't like to be held at gunpoint to my head. And when I need this syringe, I'll inject it myself. ”
Although Schreb covered his wrist, he said anxiously: "We are running out of time, you must inject immediately!" ”
However, Lin Ming didn't want to have another memory in his brain, and maybe even another personality. You know, once memory is messed up. It may make you no longer yourself. And the distrust of Schleber in his heart, as well as the danger in his instincts, made him not choose to inject this method immediately.
Time was running out, but he needed Schreiber to take him to where the black-clad monsters were. The heart of the city that controls everything.
"I didn't want to inject anything weird, and I knew it was close to midnight. So this time, I need you to take me to where those monsters in black are! Immediately, immediately! ”
Schleber knew that Lin Ming was definitely not joking with him, and the strength that the other party possessed could easily tear him apart. So he said in a trembling tone, "Well, since you want to know, then I'll say it." ”
At this moment, a person who was a little familiar to Lin Ming walked in, "Doctor Schreber, in fact, I also want to know what the so-called truth is. ”
This man is none other than Inspector Bamsted, and he is followed by a dirty man with a stubble face who looks like he hasn't showered in days, none other than his colleague and friend Walensky.
