Chapter 185: Outsiders, Do You Want Divination?
Mental pollution resistance medicine can alleviate the effects of mental pollution to a certain extent, dragging people out of the illusionary world and returning to reality.
However, it is a medicine that is poisonous.
This agent also has obvious side effects, that is, it can cause serious sequelae, making people's mental state extremely unstable.
This is also the reason why these agents cannot be taken continuously for a short period of time and can cause permanent damage to the brain.
When Meng Lei was trapped in the mental cage, it was Huo Ye and Simon who forcibly fed him a bottle of resistance potion.
As a result, after he regained consciousness, the whole person was still confused, his brain felt tingling pain from time to time, and his consciousness was also a little trance, which is the intuitive embodiment of the sequelae.
However, compared to the other people in the room who were contaminated, they had now become complete fools.
The price of this sequelae is completely affordable.
Taking advantage of the time of adjustment and recovery, Meng Lei had nothing to do, took out the handheld tablet in his arms and swiped the news for a while, and chatted with Simon and Huo Ye for a while.
Only then did he realize that the place where he was staying now was not a hospital in Modo City.
It's not even a residential building in the conventional sense.
In fact, this is actually the fourth floor of the Soho Bar, which used to be a high-end private room.
Due to the severity of the damage caused by the earthquake and the increasing number of patients affected by mental pollution, hospital wards were already overcrowded.
As a last resort, we can only open up some special wards in other less important entertainment venues in the city to receive patients with mental problems.
Soho Bar is located in the heart of Modo City, and is relatively close to the hospital.
All things considered, this is undoubtedly the best place to be contained.
As a result, the high-end private rooms above the third floor, which are usually used for the entertainment of high-class customers, have been temporarily transformed into patient shelters.
In a short period of time, the closure of this area will not have much of an impact on Soho Bar's business.
After learning about this situation, Meng Lei immediately wanted to get out of bed and inquire about the guide's affairs first.
However, he is now too weak and mentally depressed, and he is really not suitable for activities in a noisy environment.
In addition, Huo Ye also informed that Jia Quan was currently staying in the hall on the first floor.
On the one hand, he inquired about information, and on the other hand, as a liaison with Zhang Chao, he avoided finding no one to contact after the other team had an accident.
Hearing this, Meng Lei relieved himself and lay on the bed to recuperate with peace of mind.
During this period, the official medical staff of Modo City in the ward walked back and forth, constantly checking the mental state of others, and recording some of the hallucinations and what they saw, as if they were deliberately investigating.
Soon, Meng Lei was also asked, carefully asking about what happened when he was trapped in the mental cage.
Meng Lei did not hide it, from beginning to end and from the beginning, he told everything he had experienced as it was.
"You're saying that before you hallucinated, you saw a lot of weird whirlpools in the shape of conchs?"
When they heard Meng Lei's description, the medical staff's expressions were a little solemn, and the fingers holding the pen paused slightly.
Meng Lei nodded suspiciously and asked, "What, is there any problem?"
"Uncertain ......"
The medical staff shook their heads, and then said with some hesitation: "However, since the outbreak of mental pollution, many people have claimed to have seen similar whirlpools, which are somewhat shaped like flat conches, twisted and weird."
Speaking of which, the medical staff paused and continued:
"This may be a clue to help us find the source of the pollution, but we still haven't gained much yet."
Hearing this, Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully.
He had felt that there was something wrong with the vortex when the illusion occurred, and it was obviously different from the distortion he saw when he was affected by the Abyssal Banshee, which was very iconic.
Now that you have this message, string it together
Together, he felt even more abnormal.
"Roger judged that in the sea near Modo City, there may be a key to open a large ruin, and there is no clear standard for the so-called type of key, it may be anything.
Is it possible that the conch that frequently appears in the hallucination is actually the body of the key?"
Meng Lei thought to himself and felt that this situation could not be ruled out.
But if there is only this one clue, it really doesn't have much effect.
Not to mention in the endless deep and dark ocean outside the city, even in the brightly lit Modo City, it is difficult to find a palm-sized conch, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
In the absence of other clear clues, it is simply unrealistic to blindly search for this key.
His gaze lingered on the notebook recorded by the medical staff for a moment, and Meng Lei suddenly had an idea, he wanted to see what other people's hallucinatory worlds had experienced.
Anyway, it's boring to rest here, maybe you can find some clues or inspiration from other people's records?
Meng Lei tentatively made a request, wanting to borrow the statistical ledger of the medical staff.
In this regard, the medical staff did not refuse, and readily agreed.
These things are not classified, and there is no need to hide them.
Even the periodicals and newspapers in Modo City will publish some particularly strange hallucinatory phenomena as selling points to deliberately create a sense of mystery in the past two days, and they will be widely distributed.
recorded the hallucination content dictated by Meng Lei, and the medical staff handed the notebook to Meng Lei casually, briefly explained not to break it, and then walked away.
Meng Lei lay on the bed, opened the manual that recorded a large number of bizarre illusions, and turned the page from the first page.
The first record is that two days ago, the protagonist's name was Wande.
[My hallucinations came from passing through the intersection of the old church, it was a strange feeling, the world seemed to be cut apart by one conch whirlpool after another, I felt dizzy and nauseous, and my mouth was filled with a very strong smell of blood.
Then I saw a woman in a white gauze dress, with soft eyes and fair skin, very beautiful.
It's just that her lips are extremely bewitching, extremely bright red, as if they are stained with blood.
She came up to me, gave me a bottle of cloudy liquid for me to drink, and whispered something in my ear.
God testifies that under normal circumstances, I would never drink anything of unknown origin.
But at that time, her voice was full of bewitchment, and I don't know why, so the ghost sent the god to drink the turbid liquid.
It didn't take long for me to fall asleep, lie down on the side of the street like a homeless man, and wake up to the hospital, and it's a miracle that nothing has been stolen from me!
I'm sure my lethargy must have something to do with the bottle of liquid in the hallucination.
Because when I wake up, I can even figure out that disgusting taste in my mouth! 】
……
"Old church crossing, woman in white gauze skirt, unknown liquid ......"
Meng Lei groaned, from the first content, he only found these more valuable clues, but it couldn't prove anything.
He continued to flip the pages, looking back in order.
[My name is Obaid, and the hallucinations are happening on Klimt Avenue.]
At the time, I was walking down the street, ready to go to the East End Market to buy some food.
Suddenly, I saw ......
It was so fast that I didn't even have time to react to what it was, it turned into a huge black shadow and jumped out of the hospital window.
Immediately afterward, the scene in front of my eyes changed.
I seemed to see a man, dressed in a doctor's uniform, huddled in the corner of the room, writing and drawing on paper.
His hands were shaking, his body was trembling, and his eyes were full
Despair, like writing his own suicide note before dying.
Through the dim light in the room, I could see something standing behind him.
No, to be exact, standing on his shoulders!
It was a fetus, a malformed fetus, with its lower limbs completely twisted, coiled around his neck like tentacles, a mouth full of fangs, and a wicked and resentful expression!
Upon discovering my arrival, the baby immediately gave up on the doctor's restraint and pounced on me instead.
It's a scream I'll never forget for the rest of my life!
Even after waking up, I still shudder when I hear the baby's cry, and its resentful and cruel gaze involuntarily appears in my mind, which is really terrifying......]
"First saw a mysterious black shadow, and then hallucinated?"
Meng Lei frowned suspiciously, thinking to himself.
"Or is it that the hallucinations were already having an effect before the mysterious shadow appeared? And what do doctors and babies represent?"
For the second part of the handbook, he was also confused, and he couldn't connect any clues.
He then began to flip back the pages of the book to scan the third entry.
[No matter what the earthquake and flood have made this place look like, this city of the magic capital in the 66671 channel still maintains its unusual side.
I finally traveled far from Passage 66672 to this point, and although I knew that there were frequent strange things in the city, I still couldn't resist my urge to go out for a walk.
And as it turned out, everything was self-inflicted.
I went to a grocery hypermarket in the heart of the city, right at the intersection of Dwight Avenue and Wendoco Avenue, and the hallucination appeared.
The light of the whole world seemed to be swallowed up, and everything around it became dark.
There is only the only light in the whole world around me.
I felt so lonely that I had become a woman, trapped in a room with my limbs chained.
In the darkness outside the window, many terrible and miserable cries could be heard, and there seemed to be monsters everywhere.
My body was infected, to be precise, this woman was infected.
I don't know if it's a painted skin parasite or a strange fungus like thalamic spores, which are slowly decaying under the influence of some unknown force.
My body turned into a monster, it was so itchy that I could even feel the rapid fission of the cells in my body!
I scratched my cheek with my hand desperately, trying to relieve the pain caused by the symptoms, but to no avail.
Eventually, I had to put my hands around my neck......
Finally, I suffocated and fell unconscious.
When I woke up, I found myself slumped on the side of the road, crying like a madman, tears hanging from the corners of my eyes.
An ugly-looking pirate kicked me and snatched my wallet.
I was so emotional, but I didn't have a conflict with the other person, which is really weird......]
"This is a bounty hunter from the 66672 Channel, who has changed his gender in a hallucination, and he has also seen the light being swallowed, but there is no conch-shaped vortex."
Meng Lei muttered silently alone, constantly flipping back through the contents recorded in the handbook.
From the first part, it took him nearly half an hour to finally read everything carefully.
There are a total of twenty hallucination records, among which there are few valuable clues.
The mental cage that everyone faces has no repetition or regularity, and there is no connection at all.
These twenty spiritual visions are like twenty different worlds, where twenty people have experienced twenty different stories.
The only thing they have in common is that these hallucinations are bizarre, as bizarre as they are.
And Meng Lei also found that not all hallucinations will appear monsters,
And perhaps the conch-shaped vortex of the "key" is not very likely to appear in the hallucination.
Of course, the hallucination records he had learned so far were only a drop in the ocean for the overall number of hallucination events in Modo City, which was quite one-sided and did not have any reference.
To get more valuable clues, you have to consult more hallucination records.
However, he didn't have that much energy to get to the bottom of it.
Investigating these records was purely curious, and he didn't intend to solve the strange illusion incident that happened in Modo City for the Moken family.
When you find a guide, you can fix the boat.
When the time comes, he will leave here directly with the help of Roger's relationship, no matter what big things happen in Modo City, it will have nothing to do with him.
It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and the after-effects of the anti-drug of mental pollution had finally subsided.
At this time, Hans and another combat member, who were recuperating in the next ward, also returned to normal one after another.
Everyone met in the corridor and came to the lobby on the first floor of the Soho Bar to ask Jia Quan about the situation and see if the guide's affairs had been settled.
A few people had just come out of the elevator and were looking for Jia Quan in the bustling crowd.
Suddenly, a figure burst out of the corner, stretched out an arm, and stopped in front of everyone.
Meng Lei looked at it fixedly, and saw that it was an old woman wearing a black robe and a hood.
Judging from the dress, it has an extremely strong Western soothsayer style.
Before Meng Lei could speak, the old woman looked at Meng Lei directly, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Outsiders, do you want divination?"
