Surgery? Serious injury to the right leg? I looked at my body, and the dense stitches seemed to tell me that the right leg had been completely detached from the body, and that the only way to barely connect it was to do so. The wounds at the base of the thigh, knee and ankle, which are the most obvious, make it doubtful that the leg can still be used.

The pain coming from the wound was as if no anesthetic had been given. The operating room I was in didn't look like I didn't even have anesthetics. However, what I care about the most is not the condition of my body, my memory in the last second is still stuck when Tomie was still around. Now, where is she?

"What the hell is this......" I muttered to myself, and Dr. Nguyen Li pulled a medical flashlight out of his pocket and aimed it at my pupils. I was stimulated by the bright light to subconsciously close my eyes, and she forced my eyelids to hold on. She said to me in a stern voice, "Don't move. This tone is not negotiable.

I was silent, still fiddling with her. After going through several procedures, Dr. Nguyen Li seemed relieved and said to me, "An hour ago, your illness had a seizure. By the time we found you, your right leg had been badly injured. And it's incredible that you seem to have dragged your injured leg so far. We can only operate on you. But don't worry, the operation seems to have been a success. ”

"Surgery? My feet? "I tried to move my leg, and after another wave of pain, I thought I could move it, but it didn't listen to me at all. This feeling gave me a very deep sense of immediacy.

Yes, a serious leg injury, even after surgery, not being able to walk on its own - it's like a replica of what it was like when you woke up in the hospital.

For a moment, I almost doubted that I was back in the hospital. It's just that the last time I woke up, it was in a hospital bed, and this time it was on the operating table.

However, Dr. Ruan Li's voice quickly dispelled this illusion.

"You were allowed to intercept patients who wanted to break in, precisely because your spirit resonated with the spirit of those patients. Plus your diary...... I don't think those people will have too much of a dangerous effect on you when the two interact. But maybe my decision was wrong. Dr. Nguyen Le stared at me and said, "I'm still naïve and shouldn't have hoped that things might get better in the first place - there's an old saying that when you think things have gotten worse, they just get worse than you think." ”

"I ......" I seem to understand a little bit of what I'm doing. There is no doubt about what Dr. Nguyen Le is telling now. It was she who observed and explained from her own perspective the battle that took place between me, Tomie and the other occult experts, and even the "monster" Novsky of Area 51.

By and large, the battles with the occult experts and Novsky, in terms of process and results, were not too far off from what I knew. However, in the case of myself. And what happened in the period after the battle, there was something different from what I knew.

And just in the current situation. There are two most obvious differences:

First, although I believe that Novsky's anomaly caused the collapse of the dimensionality reduction environment, which in turn allowed my right leg to return to normal, at this moment, the injury to this leg is still in the state of severe damage at that time.

Second. Tomie is gone.

The dividing line between this cognitive difference lies in my post-war "coma".

I have no memory of how I fell into a coma, and I didn't feel anything wrong at the time. After waking up on the operating table. It is the feeling of waking up from a "dream", but that kind of dream is too clear and too deep to admit that it is a dream.

Fighting side by side with Tomie, talking with Tomie after the war, Tomie's mention of the ideal township - these things are just a psychopathic episode, are they my conjectures and dreams?

No, it shouldn't be like this.

After all, I'm not the only one who sees Tomie.

Tomie ...... Mom, where is Tomie? "I didn't know how to explain my experience to Dr. Nguyen Lê because it was completely ineffective. She never admitted any mystery, nor did she admit the existence of "Jiang" at all. White Claudia is a material that can be seen and touched to her, but in her eyes, the so-called "Tomie" is just a mental illusion for me.

However, I had a lot to say to Tomie and a lot of questions I wanted to ask her further. Is the thing in the ideal township really existing, or is it ...... Although she explained why she changed her attitude in the past and took the initiative to talk to me about this kind of thing, I still couldn't help but speculate more because of the identity of the "Jiang" behind her.

Do these changes mean that there have been more profound changes in the aspect of the "river"?

I don't know if Tomie will delve into such a topic, but it is reassuring to see her, as long as her presence can be observed.

According to my theory, if you don't observe the "river" and can't observe the humanoid river, you will-

"Tomie?" Doctor Ruan Li stared at it with a meaningful gaze, which made people feel uneasy, "It's still Tomie......" She sighed as if she knew everything, "Ah Chuan, Zhenjiang has already died, why can't you get rid of that nightmare after so many years?" Even if I say it now, you won't admit it, but I'm still going to tell you, told you countless times - Tomie doesn't exist. ”

"I understand, I understand, Mom." I don't want to argue with her about this kind of thing, as the past has shown that even if it is related in meaning, what we see on the surface is completely different.

The current dialogue is almost like a replica of the "hospital reality" time.

However, this is not a "hospital reality", but "inside the Las Vegas repeater". After all, when Dr. Ruan Li appeared in this world, she should be mentally prepared, what she said and what kind of views she maintained, it is completely conceivable.

"This time, I'm not the only one who has seen Tomie." I say.

"Of course. But this only proves that all those who see Tomie are patients. "They were originally invisible, but because of you, they are connected to your spirit and become visible. When they are influenced by you. You are also forced to be influenced by them. But at the end of the day, you and they are still different. You are not mentally ill because you were influenced by Claudia White, but you are mentally ill in the first place. She paused, a little distracted, "Forget it, this kind of thing is fine." It was because of my mistake that you were so badly injured that you could live. That's the best result. ”

"Nope! I caused it myself! "I can't admit that this is a mistake on the part of Dr. Nguyen Lê. Because, from the very beginning, it was I who intercepted that monster with my own will, and I ended up in this fate, and such an injury was expected. Although halfway through, I reported to Dr. Ruan Li. But even if she had stopped it, I would have done it.

Since it's my choice. Then, there is no reason for Dr. Nguyen Le to bear the name of the so-called "mistake".

That's not fair. No matter how Dr. Nguyen Le observed this incident, I personally can't accept it!

"Really? If that's more acceptable to you, be it. Dr. Nguyen Le didn't act too insistent, "What did you see at that time?" Write a report to me. I need more information to determine the mental interaction between you and those patients at that time. At the end of the day, you'll never be able to escape their influence if you don't unlock their secrets, even if they will be influenced by you. However, once you are too badly corrupted by the spirit of White Claudia because of their influence, it will be difficult to recover. The reason why you can still maintain a certain degree of normality is precisely because your own psychopathology is rejective, and it is not completely compatible with the spiritual erosion of White Claudia. ”

I knew every word she said, but when it was concatenated into a sentence, it became less easy to understand.

She seems to be meant: My spirit was already very serious before the spiritual erosion of the people of this world by Claudia White, so it has exclusivity, and to a certain extent, it rejects the spiritual erosion of Claudia White. The end result is that I and the other patients on this peninsula are different in many of the details of psychopathic manifestations?

However, if this difference is translated into a difference between me and other occult experts, it is easier for me to understand.

"Tomie ......," I reminded Dr. Nguyen Le again.

Dr. Nguyen Li was silent for a moment, turned on the monitor in front of me, adjusted a few options, and showed the same picture that had happened to me, Tomie, and Mitsui Tsukao after they entered the area. The only thing that is different from what I remember is that Tomie looks like in these pictures.

No, just from these camera records, it wasn't Tomie who came to this place with us, but the mysterious expert who manipulated insects, or rather, that kind of body, which didn't look like Tomie's body at all.

The silent eyes, the pale face, and the stiff body all told me that it was just a corpse.

In the picture, I'm staying with a corpse, doing what any couple would do. At that time, I was talking to myself, as if I had heard something, so I responded accordingly, and even when Mitsui Tsukao and the others were present, no one expressed surprise. It's as if what they see is not just a corpse, but, more importantly, a kind of "complete ignorance of the fact that there are other people besides me and themselves". They only reacted to my voice and movements normally, and throughout the whole process, they also behaved in a way that seemed strange just from the picture.

Those weird behaviors made my behavior weird too.

It's like we're making some kind of connection, some kind of interaction, in a way that no one else knows.

The interaction between me and Tomie, which was supposed to be "Tomie", but was only a female corpse in the picture, was relatively independent of my interaction with them.

"Corpses?" I couldn't help but be stunned.

Dr. Nguyen Le came over with a file: "The natal is Clasette. Root. Franco-American Franco-American national, Franco-American national, engaged in financial fraud, sentenced to more than five years in prison...... The code name for the crime is: Insect Master or Moth. That's kind of interesting. The exact timing of the mental illness caused by the influence of Claudia White is unknown, but the degree is one of the more severe on the peninsula. She read the paper as she handed it to me.

In the upper left corner of this personal file, before it became "Tomie", the bust of this "insect master" was sandwiched there as it was. In the photo, she is wearing a patient gown that I am familiar with, and just the look in her eyes makes people feel that she is abnormal. She didn't seem to care at all about the state of her photo, her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the lens, the photograph, and time and space, staring closely at anyone looking at the photograph, such as me.

I looked up at the surveillance footage in front of me. There is no doubt that she is the corpse in the video. And the moment she became a corpse, according to my memory, had a lot to do with me, the only difference was that she did not become "Tomie".

Yes, in the observation that Dr. Nguyen Le borrowed the monitoring device, the person who was with me was not "Fu Jiang", but just a person named "Clay Sette. Root. Mitterrand" is just a female corpse.

I have nothing to say, although I think Tomie exists, and I am really with her, but such a reason is completely unconvincing in the surveillance video in front of me. Even if it wasn't Dr. Ruan Li, as long as there was a little bit of logic and a little normal scientific concept, they would only agree that it was my psychotic seizure that I regarded a female corpse as my lover.

Moreover, he is also a fantasy lover.

"I've repeated it countless times, but as long as you can't accept it, then that's all I can say." Dr. Nguyen Le said: "Zhenjiang has been dead for many years, and Tomie does not exist, not only Tomoe, but the 'virus' and the thing called 'Jiang' that you imagine do not exist. There is indeed a threat of apocalypse in this world, but the danger comes from a more practical form of life, which takes the form of a plant, and some suspect that it comes from the universe, but has a growth instinct, and we are affected by this growth instinct. This is a species invasion, and this species that has invaded the human world is called 'White Claudia', and its existence not only causes mental abnormalities in people, but also has been proven by many physicists to have a certain degree of interference with physical phenomena. But I don't care about the physical issues, I'm just a psychologist who wants to work out a drug against the mental erosion of Claudia White, that's all. All the worlds you have experienced, the inexplicable mysteries, are nothing more than psychopathic interactions with other patients under the influence of White Claudia. ”

The world, the world you call the Las Vegas Repeater, is the real thing, and you think you've broken into it, but in reality, you're just mentally re-engaging with the real - she said. (To be continued......)
