Waiting hall on the first floor of Company Hospital.

There is nothing strange about the interior alone, it is nothing more than a blood stain in front of the door and a centipede with a human face in the infirmary...... Well, it's weird.

"You've succeeded," Jurius praised, looking at the human-faced centipede on the ground, "and you've completely cleared your suspicions." ”

Su Ling was now out of anger.

He felt completely in the dark, at the mercy of Julius.

Holding back his anger, he looked at him indifferently: "I need a reasonable explanation, about this mission, about this hospital, and about you. ”

"I'll answer," answered Cecilia, who always had a sense of mystery, "this mission has little to do with you, it's purely Julius' bad taste." ”

Julius raised his hand in surrender: "Wronged, but the test results are not bad, are they?" ”

Cecilia pointed to the terrifying mutant city outside: "Dare to come in with us, it means that courage is no problem." ”

He also pointed to the dead centipede in the infirmary: "I was not bewitched by [Dead Words], which shows that my position is not biased towards monsters." ”

"[Dead Words] is a strange existence that is unknown so far, he is not aggressive, but he can create bizarre illusions, if the will is not strong enough, he will be distorted mind, become crazy, and even degenerate into weird, if it is weird itself, then [Dead Words] will make it rampant, this is a key step to detect whether you are biased towards weird, and you are extremely calm."

"What about you?" Su Ling asked rhetorically, "I felt that something was wrong before, you know the layout of this city well, and all this is your arrangement?" Coming back here is like coming back to your home! Are you doing human experiments?! ”

"Yes......" Before Julius and the two could reply, a voice suddenly came from the corridor, "This is your home, brothers and sisters......

Julius's face changed suddenly.

Su Ling turned his head to look in the direction of the second floor.

A disgusting slug-like monster wriggled down the hallway, with a human-like head, snail-like antennae, a slug-like lower body, slippery slime, and terrifying tentacles all over its body that replaced the function of the hands.

It's like a ball of jelly, pinched out to look like a human face, but without the shape of a human being, and it's definitely the most disgusting jelly.

The monster stretched out a tentacle: "Come on...... Mom has been waiting for a long time, welcome home. ”

He immediately glanced at the dead face centipede in the infirmary, and said regretfully: "Pity our receptionist." ”

Julius grimaced: "Let her wait." ”

He turned his head to look at Su Ling: "I don't have time to say more, we have to go see an old friend first...... We'll see each other again soon. ”

Julius threw something to Su Ling: "Just activate this thing when you leave, before the start of the big war, you are allowed to explore here, don't go upstairs, we have cleared all threats in the room on the first floor for you, don't worry about exploring boldly, maybe you can find something useful for you, and then return to the reserve, we will personally compensate you accordingly." ”

Cecilia looked upstairs and said, "It's time to go, I can't let her continue the ceremony." ”

Julius nodded and patted Su Ling on the shoulder: "I'm sorry, I know it feels bad to be in the dark, but believe me, you won't end well if you get involved in this matter." ”

Su Ling replied indifferently: "I have no opinion, but what about her?" ”

He was referring to Lorna, of course.

Julius was silent for a moment: "How important are you to the Holy City...... We need you, and as for her, sorry, can't tell her the truth out of the need to conceal the test. ”

Su Ling sneered: "Very good, her father died because of your order!" You just got her involved on a whim? ”

Julius sighed: "Informing you in advance will lead to deviation, we can only choose to do this, your identity is too sensitive...... There are many people in the Holy City who want to kill you, and this way of taking the sword off the edge is the most convincing. ”

Su Ling was silent, he didn't know anything about this.

But he also understands that he may mean a lot to humanity.

Cecilia finally instructed Su Ling: "No matter what treasure you find, if there is any movement, remember to activate the Silver Key in advance, otherwise you may not be able to escape at all." ”

The two walked up to the unknown second floor of the hospital, leaving Su Ling and the unconscious Lorna in the waiting hall on the first floor.

Su Ling didn't speak, just looked at the things in his hand.

It was a silver Rubik's cube with a strange glow at its core.

The corners of the cube can be pressed, maybe that's the switch.

The Silver Rubik's Cube gave him a similar feeling to the [Silver Gate], but it was a little different.

Can this thing take itself back to the reserve?

Su Ling could only choose to believe Cecilia and the two.

But he wasn't ready to leave.

Inexplicable task, what is hidden in this strange hospital?

Feeling uncomfortable being kept in the dark, Su Ling decided to explore the truth.

He didn't want to be calculated and go back stupidly without understanding anything.

Although Julius said it was best not to get involved, Su Ling hated the most about those who manipulated the fate of others.

Su Ling looked at the unconscious Luo Na and had a little headache.

How do I get into the Dead Words?

The words of the dead, the words of the dead...... What exactly was said?

Su Ling's mind flashed, and he thought of the words of the yellow-robed actor in his dream.

He closed his eyes, took off Lorna's mask, put his head on her fair forehead, and said silently:

"The Incredible Black Star ......"

......

"How many times? You still can't do it," the red-haired general looked coldly at his wheezing daughter in the kendo hall, "A coward who can't even overcome his fear, and still wants to be a hero?" ”

Lorna gripped her sword tightly, trembling uncontrollably.

Her father was her opponent, and in her consciousness, she was invincible.

My father didn't keep his hands and gave it his all every time he attacked.

I've been dead for I don't know how many times, and I open my eyes and start again.

She knew she was in a terrible vision, but she couldn't help herself.

The red-haired general put away his sword and walked around her, saying as he went:

"Want to be a hero? But the fear in your heart has always lingered, what, just like that, how are you going to fight monsters? ”

The girl bit her lip and raised her sword with difficulty: "You are too strong, father ......"

"Is being strong a reason to hold back?" The general looked at her coldly, "You're just a coward!" ”

"Father!" Lorna swung her sword and slashed, using all her might, but was easily dodged, and she fell to her knees weakly, "But I can't find a way to defeat you......"

"If you can overcome your fears, you may be able to overcome me." The general's tone changed suddenly, and he stopped.

The girl raised her head and looked at her father in confusion: "I can't do it...... I, I can't ignore the horrors of death......"

"Human beings are really limited," the general leaned down with a sneer, looking at his daughter, "Fear is the most primitive emotion of living beings, so should we go beyond the limits of living beings?" ”

"Beyond the limits of living things?" The girl froze.

The general's tone had a psychedelic flavor: "After fighting with the strange for half a life, I understand their horror more and more, but I have also discovered where they surpass humans...... Transcend the bondage of the flesh and become a greater spiritual being! ”

Lorna was stunned: "Father, what are you talking about......."

"I'm saying," the general shouted with open arms, "the dragon slayer will become a dragon, come, fight the demons, only the demon king of hell, with me, break free from the shackles of the weak body!" ”

His body changed rapidly, swollen, melted, mutated...... In the blink of an eye, it had become a terrifying giant snake, and the entire gym seemed crowded.

The serpent's skin is lustrous like lava, its scales exude a furious aura, and its eyes burn with fire, like the legendary spirit born of the pure fire element, the Saloman Serpent.

Lorna stared blankly, her father had become his former enemy, and only the red scales of the armor were left with a familiar color.

"Lorna," the Saloman snake spat out a fiery red hyacinth, and a strange little bead fell to the ground, "come, swallow it, great power, immortal life, will beyond death!! ”

Lorna looked at the small bead in front of her, it was an embryo, and she could faintly see the wriggling germ inside.

To become a hero, you can only surpass the human ...... The girl trembled and picked up the embryo.

"Courage is not avoiding fear." An indifferent voice sounded in his heart, and the thing in his hand fell to the ground involuntarily.

Lorna was shocked, why did she hear Su Ling's voice?

She didn't know how Su Ling came to this terrible nightmare, but hearing his voice at this moment, she was extremely relieved.

Su Ling infiltrated this world, but he couldn't interfere, he could only say to Lorna: "Fear is the instinct of life, to avoid it is to avoid yourself, to face fear is to be brave, but you lack the faith that can support you." ”

Su Ling ignored him and looked back at Lorna: "Death is not something that cannot be defeated, but you haven't recognized yourself and found your faith yet!" ”

Seeing that Lorna was not moving, the Saroman snake hissed twice, and its burning pupils bit Lorna: "Daughter, what are you hesitating about?" ”

Lorna kept her head down, but her heart was calm.

She no longer trembled, but asked in her mind in confusion, "But what should I do......

Su Ling saw the saloon snake clearly through her vision, it was like a nightmare in hell, an unrivaled existence.

There is only one reason why it is so terrifying.

"You live in the shadow of your father," Su Ling dissected the girl word by word, "Whether it is glory or family inheritance, these are all false things, and the reputation of the outside world is not worth mentioning, but you are immersed in the glory of your father and can't extricate yourself, always want to chase him, but ignore yourself." ”

Su Linggai's coffin concluded: "You always feel that you can't surpass your father, the hero you believe in is not you, but your father, wake up, why do you always have to live in the shadow of others, prove yourself, you don't have to be bad with your father!" ”

Lorna was dumbfounded.

What do you believe......

"Father......" The girl picked up her sword and walked towards the flame serpent, bowing her head, "I know what I want......

"What?" The Salomans were a little puzzled, "What stupid thing are you talking about?" ”

Lorna looked up: "I want to be myself, not the eldest daughter or the hero's daughter who is called Lancelot, I want to prove myself, I don't want to live in your shadow!" ”

Like the shadow of the hero of the mythical demon slayer, she leaped high and slashed down at the invincible flaming serpent.

......

Su Ling came back to his senses from the illusion and had a splitting headache.

It's not a good feeling to have your spirit annihilated.

Lorna's breathing calmed and she slept peacefully in his arms.

The strength of human beings depends on how firm they are in their beliefs, and the girl has finally found the purpose of her faith in life, which is herself, then in this illusion, she is truly invincible.

Su Ling found that the profession of psychiatrist was simply the noblest profession in this strange world.

Shaking his head, Su Ling looked at the bloodstained corridor.

Just went back without knowing anything, Su Ling was unwilling.

At least dig up some treasures, don't you?

Carrying the girl's body on her back, Su Ling muttered: "It's quite light......"

Looking at the blood-stained staircase, "I want to see what the secret is!" ”

He pushed open the door to the first infirmary.

The "patient" inside opened a "hug" to him.
