Chapter 292: Ghosts

"What am I sick about?"

Xu Shen did not rush to argue, but stared at his mother in front of him.

"The doctor says you're paranoid." Mom said: "If it's serious, you will treat reality as illusory, and illusory as reality, but as long as you listen to your mother, take medicine on time, and cooperate with treatment, you can still be cured." ”

Xu Shen's expression became indifferent, and he said, "Paranoia is a mental illness, so this is a mental hospital?" ”

"This is my private practice."

Yono at the door leaned over slightly and said, "In Xiao Zhao's private clinic before, you were briefly sent to a psychiatric hospital because of your illness, and there were a few people who were sent with you, and some of them were left in a psychiatric hospital, and your mother was worried about you, so she spent a lot of money to hire someone to bail you out." ”

"Once you are recorded in the file at the psychiatric hospital, you are completely qualified, and you can no longer get out of it."

"There are no mental illnesses that have been cured for the time being, or rather, the number is very small."

Xu Shen saw that Yono was making up "reality", and couldn't help but sneer, and said, "Since there is no eucalyptus case that has been cured, why do you think I can be treated?" You say there are other people, who are they? ”

"I'm referring to very few cases of eucalyptus, and I'm referring to cases in psychiatric hospitals."

Yono said calmly: "Once you enter there, you are surrounded by patients, and you can't get effective treatment at all, but in our private clinics, you can be cured." ”

"As for the people you asked, you must have the impression that they are two women and a man, one is named Mu Xue, one is called Li Meiya, and the other is called Ono."

Yono said: "The woman named Mu Xue has been transferred to another clinic, the sister named Li Meiya is the head nurse in that clinic, and the one named Ono, whose original name is Li Ye, has madness. ”

Xu Shen's face changed slightly, but he didn't expect the other party to even know Mu Xue's name.

Is your memory really being spied on?

Or is it now your own consciousness that fills itself?

"Don't talk nonsense......" Xu Shen was about to scold, but he was suddenly stunned, these names were added together...... He suddenly thought of going out of the city for the first time, and the Liu Bureau summoned him, and the rest of the team members included Mu Xue, Miya, and Ono.

At that time, there were also Chu Bai and Uncle Wang.

Could it be that the mental hospital in his mouth is outside the walls?

Thinking of the ubiquitous fog outside the wall, and the shell that can absorb the fog and heal continuously, Xu Shen suddenly felt a chill.

The fog symbolizes one's confused perception of the surrounding environment?

The shell represents a glimpse of those people who are mentally ill, have no sense of self, and are therefore just wandering and walking shells?

Xu Shen suddenly thought about the fog that was also floating in the bottom city and the inner city.

The whole world is shrouded in fog.

It's because ...... The parts that you can't recognize are covered by fog?

No, no!

Xu Shen clenched his fists suddenly, his eyes became sharp and hideous, he couldn't follow such thoughts anymore, otherwise he would really go crazy!

Xu Shen never believes that everything he has experienced is a "story" made up by himself.

How should the huge bottom city, the inner city, the seven great families, including the secret world, be explained?

What are the so many ruins that you have slaughtered?

That's right, ruins!

Xu Shen's eyes were like electricity, staring at Yono: "You said that the hair on my shoulder was pulled from the nurse's head before, but in fact, it has always been with me, it is called Black Snow, the ruins I killed, how can you explain it?" ”

Yono sighed lightly and said, "I said that everything in the story you made up is an allusion to reality, and the nurse who was pulled off by you is called Xiaoxue, who was arranged to take care of you shortly after Xiao Zhao's clinic went to work, and then was attacked by you. ”

"The 'ruins' you mentioned are all the existences you imagined in combination with reality, including the abilities you mentioned."

"If you think about your own ability carefully, do you feel that the abilities you said are all based on point-to-surface optimization, such as the ruins you said, to the chains, you see the chains, you fantasize that you have plundered the other party's abilities in some way, so that your own imagination deepens, and you think that you can use it."

"What you think about cultivating and becoming stronger is because your symptoms are gradually becoming more serious, and you have mixed everything you have seen and heard together."

Yono said, "Otherwise, do you think that a normal person can still remain normal after what you have experienced?" ”

This question hit people's hearts, Xu Shen was about to argue, but he was speechless and choked after opening his mouth.

He looked at Yono in front of him, and suddenly had a strong impulse, this is the test that the other party gave him?

Is the only way to get rid of the illusion of "reality" in front of you?

If that's the case, the solution may be to kill Yono in front of him.

Or, to create a surreal existence to break the reality that the other side has constructed.

After all, everything you say is imaginary in the eyes of the other party.

Once something surreal happens at this level, it means that everything the other person says is.

But...... How do you create a surreal event?

Xu Shen couldn't feel the ruin power in his body, and at this moment, he was like the state of the fog people in front of him, the only difference was that he could open his eyes.

That's right, Foggie.

"How do you explain the fog people I see everywhere?" Xu Shen looked at Yono and said.

Yono didn't answer immediately, but looked at his mother next to him, and then said with some embarrassment: "Speaking of this, I have to talk about your information, according to the information provided by your mother, you were a genius in your childhood." ”

"Genius?"

"That's right, you have extraordinary insight and an IQ far beyond the average person, and you refer to those who walk according to the predetermined trajectory of life as the Foggers, believing that they are just flesh and blood mechanical beings who live according to some kind of 'program'."

"I have to say, this feeling is very accurate."

Xu Shen glanced at him and said, "What about the Seven Great Families?" ”

"Those are the seven famous mental hospitals in the city, and the news that your mother inadvertently leaked around you when she was looking for each hospital was made up by you through imagination after hearing it." Yono said.

That...... What about the Secret World?

Xu Shen wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he didn't know if the Yono in front of him was an extension of the real Yono's consciousness, which was one of his core secrets, and he had to be silenced once it was exposed.

After thinking about it, Xu Shen still chose to keep.

And he vaguely felt in his heart that even if he brought it up, the other party would most likely find a reason to explain.

"The stories you make up involve a lot of knowledge, which proves that you have a genius brain, but unfortunately geniuses and madmen are often separated by a thin line."

Yono looked regretful and said, "The most obvious thing is that you haven't noticed that in the story you made up, your childhood memories are very thin?" You don't have any friends, you don't have any relatives, you have autonomously covered up some of your memories of normal times, and I believe what you remember most so far is the period of your illness, the months when you deteriorated at home, and the ...... that followed."

Xu Shen looked at him in a daze, and his face gradually became ugly.

He couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.

Could it be that what he said is true?

Over here...... Is it reality?

Is it a reality where there are no ruins and no monsters?

Peeling is electrotherapy, and the Seven Families are the Seven Psychiatric Hospitals...... It's all my imagination?!

Xu Shen couldn't help but grab his hair, almost pulling his hair off, the pain was so severe that he felt better.

But what made him desperate was that the world in front of him did not have the slightest wave, the white sheets he covered his body were still white, the stripes on them were clearly visible, and there was still a faint dust floating in the air.

He looked up at his mother next to him, but saw her mother's heartbroken expression.

He suddenly thought of the ingredients his mother had fed.

Could it be that those are all medicines?

Countless thoughts came rushing and hovered in his mind, and Xu Shen couldn't help but feel a sense of mania.

He roared, "Get out! Get out of here!

"Xiao Shen."

Mom hurriedly wanted to hold Xu Shen, but was stopped by Yono.

"It's me who talks a lot, he just woke up, I said a little too much, it stimulated him, don't touch him now, go out first, and wait until he is emotionally settled." Yono pulled his mother to avoid being injured by Xu Shen's indiscriminate punches.

Xu Shen watched his mother being dragged out of the ward, with a look of pain in his eyes.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and there seemed to be a breath in his chest that was holding his breath and had nowhere to vent.

No, he would never believe that the world was real in front of him.

But the pain he felt at the moment, including the pain from the needle that cracked his arm when he swung his fist, was so clear.

This Yono is a two-state, and the other party constructs such an illusion through ability, so it can be affected by a small Boda!

However, no matter how Xu Shen called and felt his body, he could never feel the slightest ruin power.

Without ruin power, it is naturally impossible to unleash power.

How do you prove that you're not going crazy when everything you build and think is called a "story"?

Xu Shen suddenly thought of a figure.

He couldn't help but look around the room.

But I didn't see the figure.

Is it because of the consciousness level?

"Yono!

Xu Shen shouted reluctantly.

Joo, who was comforting his mother outside the ward, heard Xu Shen's roar, and immediately comforted his mother softly, then opened the door and said, "Don't be excited, I'll give you some tranquilizers later......"

"Shut up."

Xu Shen interrupted him, with a strange look in his eyes.

This look made Yono slightly stunned.

Xu Shen's eyes were extremely abnormal at the moment, with heat and excitement, and a little nervousness, as if he was harboring hope and longing.

He whispered, "How do you explain it...... What about Maeve's existence? ”

When Maeve said the word, Xu Shen felt a trembling feeling of excitement all over his body, as if the pores of his whole body were shrinking and expanding, and there was an indescribable feeling.

It was the first time he had said Maeve's name in person.

It's like the deepest call that has been held for thousands of years.

When Yono heard Xu Shen's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately showed a puzzled expression: "Maeve......?" ”

Xu Shen stared at him with blazing eyes: "Give me an answer!" ”

In reality, Xu Shen has never mentioned Maeve, if everything he has experienced is an allusion to reality, then what are the insinuations of the characters who have never been mentioned in the "story"?

Seeing Xu Shen's serious and determined expression, Yono faintly felt that this was a key point in the treatment.

His expression also became serious, and he didn't take Xu Shen's words as a joke, but came to the side of the ward and picked up the previous medical record book.

He quickly flipped through the pages, quickly to the end, but found no record of it.

Yono's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said to Xu Shen: "You wait a while, I'll investigate." ”

"I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation."

Xu Shen smiled, looking calm and relaxed.

Yono didn't speak, just hurried out of the room.

After closing the door, Xu Shen heard Yono outside the door whispering about his mother about Maeve.

After listening to this, my mother was silent for a long time, and then she hesitated and whispered, "He...... Did he really mention the name? ”

"What, what's wrong with the name?" Yono asked, confused.

Mom was slightly silent: "This is the name of our former neighbor's child." ”

Yono suddenly said, "I see, that's nothing. ”

"But the kid died."

"Dead?"

Yono was surprised, and immediately thought about it: "That's normal, I said a long time ago, everything he made up with such paranoia has a corresponding thing in reality, and everything can be explained......"

In the ward, Xu Shen listened to the conversation between the two in a daze.

Maeve ...... Is it the kid next door?

Maeve ...... He's dead?

That is to say, the Maeve I saw did not actually exist?

When Xu Shen's mind was dazed, the door of the ward was opened, and Yono walked in, looking at Xu Shen's dull expression, as if realizing that his conversation was overheard, so he said, "You just heard it, the Maeve you said is just your neighbor." ”

Xu Shen came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and couldn't help but look at him: "You said earlier that the ruins I saw have corresponding things, that is, the things I saw in my story all exist?" ”

"You're finally convinced that those are stories."

When Yoo heard Xu Shen's words, a slight expression of relief appeared on his face: "That's right, as long as what you see, it exists in reality, and your conjectures are all made up based on reality." ”

Xu Shen looked at him in a daze, and his expression slightly became strange and unnatural: "But...... I see Maeve all the time...... She's always there for me. ”

Yono was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

A dead child, Xu Shen saw it anytime and anywhere?

But soon, he came back to his senses and chuckled, "Don't be kidding, it's impossible unless you keep seeing her body." ”

Xu Shen shook his head slightly, his eyes were extremely serious and determined, staring at him: "She has always been by my side, but I haven't been in contact with her, but I can see her ......"

Yono was shocked by Xu Shen's serious expression, and was stunned for a while, unable to speak for a while.

During the treatment of Xu Shen, he knew that Xu Shen would not talk nonsense, that is, Xu Shen really saw the child named Maeve?

But...... How is this possible!

Paranoia is not made up out of thin air, everything has a reference.

Unless...... What the hell?!
