In a small dark room near the exit of the circus, Yi Chen and the others had been waiting for a long time.

"Why did you delay so long?"

William looked helpless, "Oops~ Every area of the circus must be carefully observed to be able to generate a perfect enough "fake memory" without loopholes, and the first disaster will inevitably check our memories after we go back."

Hurry up and open up your brain's defenses, and I'll make a full replica of the forged memories. ”

William took out a set of television equipment that he had used during the Demon Feast, inserted one hand into the back of his head, and extracted the newly made "videotape" from the depths of his brain that was stained with cosmic goo.

The content of the tape is completely fictional, telling the story of them infiltrating the circus in disguise, going behind enemy lines, and completely obliterating all the members of the circus.

With watching this incomparably real. S, the content of the picture also directly overwrites and replaces the memories of Yi Chen and Leni.

In the end, at the cost of sacrificing an arm and a cracked soul, Yi Chen killed Jain and Mr. Rabbit, erasing the entire circus from the plane, and the fear dissipated.

Airplanes!

When the TV screen ended, Yi Chen found that his arm was really broken, and the fracture was twisted into a twisted shape.

cough cough cough ~ There is still a lot of blood coughed up from the throat, and the soul level has also been hit hard, and it takes a long time to rest.

Not only that,

At the moment they are no longer in the circus, but back in the familiar hotel lobby,

Exhausted, Leni has curled up on the couch and slept,

As for William, he went to the central building of the [Evil City] alone to submit this mission.

"It's been a tough battle, Mr. Yi...... Do you need me to take you back to your room? ”

"Thank you, manager, I was able to go back on my own."

Yi Chen knew very well that there was a problem with the memory of the circus in his brain, but he couldn't recall the original memory. Breathing to stabilize the rift between his souls, he carried Leni back to his room with one hand.

The hotel itself offers an absolute sense of comfort, perfect for post-war recuperation.

When Yi Chen put the sleeping Leni on the bed, he couldn't sleep himself. Walking into the bathroom alone while rinsing yourself under cold water, trying to recall real circus memories.

But all that exists in my mind is the memory of the killing.

"William, this guy is terrible, I can't do anything to the circus, but I can form such a perfect forged memory...... Yes~ If I can find the loophole, the first disaster will be even more so.

Don't think about it for a while, just take this memory as real.'"

Yi Chen reached out and summoned the yellow skin hanging on the bathroom door, and the adaptive water absorption function easily wiped off the excess water stains on the body and turned into a loose clothing more suitable for resting.

Reaching out from between his coat pockets, he took out the familiar hanging rope associated with the Hanged King and put it on the top of the bathroom,

As before, he plans to go to the depths of the Dead Sea by hanging himself to repair his physical wounds in a short time.

But just about to hang himself,

There was a strange sound outside the bathroom door,

The whole hotel is absolutely quiet, and Leni is also in a deep sleep, it is impossible to make such a sound.

Call~

Yi Chen tried to spread his breath, but found that his breath could not pass through this door at all, and even the perception of death could not spread out.

"Huh? Are you coming......"

Yi Chen, who was about to hang himself, tied the rope into a tie and walked barefoot towards the door.

As he walked past the sink, a tall woman suddenly flashed through the mirror, and only her chin and mouth were reflected in the mirror.

She leaned on Yi Chen's shoulder and whispered a word of caution, and the whole person disappeared.

Click~ Turn the doorknob.

The door was opened without any hindrance, but when the bathroom door was opened, it was no longer a hotel room, but a lengthy psychiatric hospital passage.

Lined with metal doors with small windows, rusted or scratched.

"The hotel was invaded? No way...... There's no way a manager can allow this to happen.

There's only one possibility, and that's a psychic illusion directed at me. Is this the means of the first disaster? It was able to work for me in such an absolutely safe environment as a hotel. ”

Yi Chen didn't resist fiercely, he was already in the [Evil City], even if he could get rid of the illusion in front of him through death, there would be other ways to find the first calamity.

Stepping on the passage of the mental hospital, the sense of reality is so full that I almost forget that I am still in the hotel.

Walk out of the current passage and reach the nurses' station on this level,

Click~

The door on the side of the platform opened, and a female nurse in her early thirties stepped out.

"Welcome to the Lighthouse Psychiatric Hospital, we have received your medical check-up here, please register here first."

When the nurse took out a booklet and put it on the table,

Zizizi~ A burst of electromagnetic interference flashed, and the picture seemed to be cut off, and Yi Chen's personal information had been written on the booklet in front of him.

Even the world in which he was born and the Montenegro orphanage were recorded.

"Come with me and do a medical check-up here."

The nurse had already walked out of the platform and led Yi Chen to the passage on the other side. There is no hospital room here, only a normal wooden chair at the end.

"Sit down, we'll check your brain and determine if you need to be hospitalized."

Yi Chen listened to the nurse's advice and sat on the wooden chair,

Zizizi~ The picture was disturbed again, and the original wooden chair has become a metal table and chair full of rust and blood stains, connected to various cables.

The metal hood attached to the back of the chair has been attached to Yi Chen's head, and one by one the metal screws are automatically drilling into the skull, reaching the depths of the brain.

A catheter with a huge needle attached to it was also inserted into the back of the head, and a little bit of bloodshot brain was being withdrawn.

The process wasn't particularly uncomfortable, but Yi Chen instinctively wanted to struggle.

The nurse immediately injected him with a tranquilizer and reassured: "It'll be fine right away." ”

Suddenly,

Cracks in the walls suddenly began to seep water, filling the current area completely, and the entire psychiatric hospital began to tremble.

A huge palm smashed through the wall and grabbed Yi Chen, pulling him out of the metal chair and away from the mental hospital...... From afar, the nurse's sister was standing at the broken part of the wall with a bag of extracted brain mass and waving goodbye to him.

……

Crash! Water splashes.

One hand grabbed Yi Chen's collar and pulled him out of the bathtub filled with water, and the person in front of him was the manager.

"Mr. Yi, are you okay?"

"Okay...... Thank you very much. ”

Yi Chen, who was soaked all over, sat on the cold ground and shook his head, checking whether his brain had atrophied due to the withdrawal of brain matter.

In reality, everything is normal, what has just happened is just an illusion, but it is certain that the memory check has been completed.

The manager in front of him showed a rare angry expression, and recovered in a blink of an eye.

"It is my duty to let you be disturbed by non-hotels during your stay, and the hotel will compensate you accordingly, and will also upgrade you to a more advanced suite that is less prone to invasion in the short term."

Yi Chen didn't care, he knew that such a memory check would come sooner or later, and he cared more about one thing than what happened to him.

"Has this ever happened before?"

"No, my hotel doesn't allow that to happen."

"It seems that the first calamity has really gained 'something' in Lorian, and even qualitatively improved itself...... Things are getting troublesome. ”
