"Have you been taking your medication on time lately?"

"Yes."

"Are hallucinations more frequent? Has the auditory hallucinations improved? Having a tendency to lose control or go berserk? ”

"Better."

"If the external pollution is temporarily eliminated to avoid the rebound of emotional pollution, and the trend is declining, I will increase the dosage for you. Your situation has been recorded in the official file, and there is no problem with the time to clock in, if you are seriously emotionally unstable, have a tendency to go berserk, lose mental control, etc., I suggest that you seek the official free killing service. ”

"Okay."

"Take a backup of your medical records, the registration gate on the first floor, and you can punch in and go home after taking the medicine."

Mo Yu took away the backup of the doctor's medical records from the desktop.

......

......

Drip!

[Successful check-in!] 】

Mo Yu took all the medicine with the medical records and left the hospital with a crumpled yellow paper bag.

His steps were heavier than usual, and only he knew that the so-called pollution disease showed no signs of getting better at all!

"It's the seventh day since I was reborn in this weird world, and I take medicine on time every day, why hasn't my condition improved... Even if I haven't eaten for a week, I don't need to excrete, and sometimes I can't even go up and down emotionally, what is the situation? ”

As the only surviving body of the fire in Building 520 in the old town of Hongyue, his life is being subjected to various restrictions and surveillance.

The corpses that should have died were all burned to charcoal, but they came back to life with ashes all over their bodies!

"Living in this kind of world, I might as well be burned to death in that fire."

In his previous life, he unfortunately died early due to illness, but now he does not have any joy of reliving, but a deep fear of this strange world.

Because from the memories inherited by the body, I know that there is a disease in this world that is defined as 'pollution'!

Contaminated patients will experience various hallucinations, which are the mildest signs.

More serious problems such as: mental disorders, loss of physical control, breakdown, loss of mind, madness......

In the end, there is no cure, and when it reaches the stage of 'madness', it will even mutate, transforming from a human into all kinds of unspeakable monsters.

This includes, but is not limited to, werewolves, geismas, ghosts, giant skeletal monsters, strange tentacles, and so on.

As far as Mo Yu can remember, there is a man who took a private detective to catch an adulterer, because he couldn't bear the shock of the chaotic scene at the scene, he instantly turned into a werewolf with black hair on his back, and killed more than 20 people with red eyes and went crazy before he was killed.

It is not known what the source of the pollution is, it may be unstable emotional control, or there is another source of pollution, and there are many reasons, depending on how the doctor in the pollution department evaluates the cause of the pollution in the patient.

After surviving the fire, he could see all kinds of strange phenomena, and Mo Yu speculated that he had been polluted during the fire or in the previous period, and he must be very sick now.

He felt that he should not be human now, but he was certainly not a ghost, but he was not a monster.

The Ash Man is such a thing, which can only be thought to have mutated under the influence of pollution, gaining some kind of immunity to burns? That's why you didn't die completely because you were in the fire?

But this is not a good thing, there is only one end to the pollution mutation, that is, the loss of reason and the end of becoming a monster!

Before that day comes, Moyu will make a brave decision.

"I'm going to turn myself in!"

Be lenient in your confession! He wants to confess his identity as an Ember Man to the authorities.

"Instead of watching my pollution get worse step by step and turn into a monster, it's better to go to the official to seek relief, at least I'm still a human when I leave, not a monster, pollution."

......

......

Back downstairs, Mo Yu was stopped by two guards.

The various details of the fire case have not yet been investigated, and he is the only one who survived the fire that burned hundreds of people, so he is naturally the focus of attention.

However, he was later identified by the hospital as mildly polluted, and Moyu, who was a shield for his illness, had the right to remain silent.

Mo Yu faced the two guards and took a deep breath.

He said slowly: "Arrest me, I surrender, I am the Ash Man who escaped from the scene of the fire that day." ”

The guard was stunned at first, as if he had auditory hallucinations, during the investigation of the case, Mo Yu did not reveal any news to the security department, and every time the guard intercepted and interrogated, he was silent.

In the past week, the Security Department has found that the identity of the victim and survivor of the Moyu fire case is becoming more and more suspicious, but the evidence is insufficient, and there is a pollution disease, so it has not been summoned for investigation.

Recently, the Security Agency has stepped up surveillance of Moyu, and if there is any suspicion that something is wrong, it will immediately carry out a mandatory arrest.

I never thought that the first thing the other party said today was to turn himself in!?

The guard handcuffed Mo Yu suspiciously, and then said to the walkie-talkie: "Mo Yu has been controlled." ”

The intercom sounded: "Mo Yu is out of control? ”

The guard replied, "He turned himself in." ”

“......”

After a short time, the silent Mo Yu was escorted into the police car.

He repeatedly thought about his life, to live in this hellish world, and then wait for the crazy ending, it is better to die early than to be relieved.

But until then, there were always several questions haunting him.

In that fire with 100 deaths, why didn't anyone survive except himself? Hundreds of people, no one can get out if it's on fire?

Memories of why he was at the scene of the fire, what he was going to do there, and what he did were lost.

The only thing he remembered about the fire was that a strange rhythm echoed in his mind before he was reborn as an Ember Man.

The syllables are like an extremely ancient and pure language, so ancient that they were not created by humans, but in the mind, the meaning of the syllables can be clearly perceived.

"You've stolen the Primordial Fire, found the Flame Transmission Shrine, and the fire prevention shrine will give you guidance."

"Stealing fire? Fire Transmission Sacrifice Ground, Fire Prevention Shrine Maiden ......"

"Initial Flame, Flame ......"

"It's all about the fire?"

No matter how much you want to do it, it won't help, and it will have nothing to do with Mo Yu, because he will die soon.
