With a stomach full of doubts, Chengsheng went around and returned to the hospital.

Considering that this world is full of weirdness, for the next seven days, Chengsheng has been honestly staying in the hospital.

During this period, the hospital would ask her to take a drug called 'heart change' every day.

Under the investigation of the living divine sense, he quickly analyzed the composition of the drug, which is a drug with strong antidepressant effects and trace hallucinogenic effects.

In short, people who are depressed will become relatively more positive after eating.

It's obvious.

The rulers of this time, 'on the highs', do not seem to want to see people who are in negative moods.

In order to make all people positive, they even do not hesitate to use drugs to control the mental state of the person.

After seven days in the hospital, the artificial intelligence judged that the mental state of the survivor had reached the standard of being discharged.

So after completing the discharge procedures, Cheng Sheng was allowed to meet his parents who were the original major.

Thanks to the world's advanced level of science and technology, the life expectancy of human beings has generally been more than 100 years old, and it is precisely because of the long life expectancy that people generally regard marriage and childbirth as very thin.

It is understandable that the longer a person lives, the lower the willingness to have children.

Under the influence of this concept, young people's concept of love has also been affected to a certain extent, and it has become the norm for couples to separate and merge, and divorced couples are even more common.

It's like surviving the body that is currently occupying.

The parents of the travel cultivator are the family that reunited after the divorce - and it is the adoptive father and his biological mother who will be seen this time.

Both of them are currently residing in Yingdong City No. 1 Psychiatric Hospital.

As for why these two people were locked up in a psychiatric hospital, because the original main Lu Xiu had suffered a severe brain injury before his death, so he can't recall such details now.

Riding on the anti-gravity aircraft, Chengsheng soon came to the gate of Yingdong No. 1 Mental Hospital.

Looking inside the psychiatric hospital from the door, you will see a drone flying back and forth in the air.

Within the sight of the survivors alone, there are at least more than 20 planes.

In addition to drones, the hospital also has several towers with ionized turrets and robotic guards.

After such a battle, those who didn't know thought that this was a special prison for some dangerous prisoners.

In view of the abnormality of this mental hospital, Cheng Sheng was worried that there was a black technology that could detect human consciousness here, so he did not dare to release the divine consciousness in his body.

After completing the registration procedures according to the process, he put his hands in his pockets and walked into the psychiatric hospital building with his head down.

On the way, a sound quickly attracted the attention of Chengsheng.

The voice came from the first-floor ward.

"A bunch of miscellaneous roots, you can't understand people's words when you say it, right?"

"I don't eat! I said I wouldn't eat! ”

In the end, the patient yelled and said the word 'don't eat'.

Driven by curiosity, Cheng Huo carefully probed out the divine sense of the body a little, and enveloped the room that made the sound.

In the next second, everything in the ward was in full view:

Perhaps to prevent the patient from developing negative feelings, he discovered that a patient was being force-fed a 'heart-changing' pill in the ward he was exploring.

That is, the kind of medicine that was taken in the hospital before surviving, and has a strong antidepressant effect.

The patients who were force-fed pills did not seem to be very cooperative.

In order to get the patient to take the medicine, a nurse and four robot nurses forcibly tied the patient to the hospital bed and tried to force the 'heart change' pill into his mouth.

As for the patient who was tied up and struggling, he kept shouting the word 'miscellaneous roots' at the nurse.

It sounds like some kind of swearing

Cheng Huo secretly remembered this scene in his heart, and took the elevator all the way to Ward 404 on the fourth floor.

in the hallway.

As soon as Cheng Huo arrived outside Ward 404, before he could knock on the door, he heard an exclamation from inside: "Is Xiao Xiu here?" ”

Listening to the voice, it seems that the person who spoke was a woman.

Soon, I heard a man say happily: "It's Xiao Xiu!" I already sensed Xiao Xiu's evil power fluctuations, and he was definitely right. ”

Perceive? Evil powers?

Hearing the conversation in the ward, Cheng Sheng couldn't help frowning.

He unleashed his inner consciousness and enveloped the two men in the room who were talking.

Under the investigation of the divine sense, the familiar faces that belonged to the memory of the original master of the brigade soon appeared in the sea of living consciousness.

That's right.

The man and the woman in the ward are indeed the adoptive father and biological mother of the original main trainee.

It's just that these two people seem to be a little different from the normal people on this planet

Outside the door.

Chengsheng tried to speak: "Dad, Mom? Can I come in? ”

"Come in, what are you doing standing outside?" As soon as Chenghuo's words fell, he saw that the door of the ward was opened from the inside.

Behind the door, I saw a girl with a messy hairstyle like a chicken nest, and a bald man, but also looked extremely young.

The appearance of the two made Chengsheng stunned:

Under the investigation of the Living Divine Sense, the age of the adoptive father and biological mother of the traveling cultivator was about to be in their forties.

But when he looked at these two with the naked eye, he found that they were only twenty-three or four-year-old just looking at their appearances.

is so young, let alone the parents who are traveling cultivators, even if they are the brothers and sisters of the brigade cultivators, they are all believed.

"Why are you looking at us like that?" Seeing Chengsheng standing in a daze, the biological mother of the brigade cultivator said, "You can't recognize us, right?" ”

"I guess so." The adoptive father on the side echoed: "He has just had the SAN value recovery operation not long ago, and now his memory is confused, so it's normal that he can't recognize us." ”

Hearing what his adoptive father said, Chengsheng thought in his heart:

Therefore, the memory in the mind of the original master Lu Xiu is confused, is it because of the so-called 'SAN value recovery surgery'?

Thinking of this, Cheng Huo Chong's biological mother and adoptive father said: "I really don't have much impression of you, so the way I am now, is it because of the influence of the 'SAN value recovery surgery'?" So what exactly does surgery do? And what exactly does 'SAN value' mean? ”

Seeing that Chengsheng threw out these many questions in one go, the biological mother and adoptive father of the traveling cultivator looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

The mother smiled wryly and said, "It seems that my son really can't remember anything now, and I don't know how long it will take to recover." ”

The adoptive father was relatively bigger: "It's okay if you really can't remember, let's just tell him no slowly." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Chengsheng: "Son, have you seen something unusual in the past few days since you woke up?" ”

"This" adoptive father's words made Cheng Sheng subconsciously recall that the ground that could devour blood was like flesh and blood.

He thought for a moment and said, "I've really seen it, so what I saw at the time wasn't a hallucination?" ”

"Of course not."

In the hospital room.

The adoptive father looked around, lowered his voice like a thief, and said with a mysterious expression: "There are some things that I can't explain to you here, otherwise once the keyword is triggered, it will attract the robot guards in the building, so I can only remind you vaguely now."

"Why is it inconvenient? Is it because there is surveillance equipment in this ward? Hearing his adoptive father's answer, Chengsheng immediately released his inner consciousness and enveloped the entire ward.

Seeing that his adoptive father was about to say something, Cheng Huo hurriedly interrupted the other party and said, "You wait a while before talking, give me some time." ”

With that, he closed his eyes and used his divine sense to carefully search every corner of the ward, even the walls and floor.

Less leaning.

I saw Cheng Huo open his eyes and said, "Okay, the monitoring equipment has been turned off by me." ”

"Huh?" The adoptive father was instantly dumbfounded after hearing this: "It's really fake, you just closed your eyes for a short while, and then turned off the monitoring equipment in the room?" ”

"It's not that hard." Cheng Sheng explained: "All high-tech equipment is almost inseparable from electricity to operate, and electricity is a kind of energy, so it can be pulled by human beings with mental power, that is, controlled by divine consciousness. That's why I turned off the monitoring device very easily. ”

If "this" survives, it only makes the adoptive father feel confused, and he doesn't know how to answer.

He looked at the biological mother of the brigade cultivator and looked puzzled.

The latter shook his head, indicating that he was not very clear.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Cheng Huo urged: "In short, don't worry about how I turned off the monitoring equipment." ”

"Now that the monitoring equipment is turned off, if you have anything to say, just say it. Otherwise, when the staff in the hospital react and fix the monitoring equipment, it will be too late. ”

"Indeed." As soon as he heard this, his adoptive father was no longer entangled in the monitoring equipment, and said very quickly: "Actually, our world has long been polluted, and including me, your mother and you, we are all people who have been polluted. ”

"Pollution?" Hearing the word pollution, Chengsheng's face suddenly changed: "Is it because of an indescribable creature?" ”

"Unspeakable creatures? What's that? The adoptive father was puzzled: "The pollution of this world is brought about by evil gods, what do you mean by indescribable creatures?" ”

"Nothing."

Different planets have different names for unspeakable creatures.

Maybe the people of this planet are used to calling unspeakable creatures evil gods.

Therefore, Chengsheng did not dwell on the matter of the title, but only asked: "So what exactly does the evil god refer to, and how does it pollute this world?" ”

"We don't know much about that," replied the adoptive father, "but in short, people like us who have been polluted by evil spirits are generally called 'sorcerers' in circles. ”

"Sorcerers have in their hands a power called 'evil power,' which is incredibly powerful and cannot be explained by any physical law, i.e., knowledge."

"In addition to the sorcerer, there are countless things in this world that are polluted by evil gods, they may be some kind of animal or animal, or they may just be a table, a chair, or even a certain movement, a certain dance."

"In short, contaminated things are dangerous to human beings, and can even threaten the lives of thousands of people."

"Something like this that has been polluted and has a certain amount of evil power is called an 'evil thing.'"

During the conversation, the adoptive father's expression gradually became serious: "The 'evil things' are often extremely powerful, even if the soldiers are equipped with various high-tech equipment, they often have no good way to deal with the 'evil things'. ”

"If you want to deal with evil things, you can only let the evil magician who also has the power of evil take action. That is, let our kind of people do it. ”

"Therefore, as sorcerers, we have an obligation to fight against the evil creatures in this world, and find ways to destroy, control, or seal them away."

Boy.

The adoptive father's words made Cheng Huo feel that he had opened the door to a new world.

But at the same time, he was puzzled: "If you are so important as a sorcerer, then why are you still locked up in a mental hospital?" ”

"I can feel that there are so many more contaminated patients like the two of you in this mental hospital."

"You can even feel this??" The adoptive father and birth mother of the traveling cultivator did not know the concept of 'divine consciousness'.

So they just attribute the ability of Chengsheng to perceive it to the talent that is unique to Chengsheng.

After a brief shock, the adoptive father explained to Chengsheng, "Although we sorcerers can wield great power, this power comes from the pollution of evil gods, so in the final analysis, it is actually a double-edged sword. ”

"The more severe the pollution of the evil gods, the stronger the power of the evil magicians, but when the pollution exceeds the limit of what the human body can bear, the human spirit will completely collapse. In the words of the circle, it means that the SAN value is completely cleared. ”

"After the SAN value is reduced to zero, the sorcerer will degenerate into an evil creature because the pollution is too severe, in this case, the sorcerer will either die, or be caught by someone in a 'high place', and then completely remove the pollution from the human body through the SAN value recovery surgery."

The technology of this world can completely remove pollution from a person's body??

The adoptive father's words made Chengsheng feel a little incredible.

After all, how domineering and powerful the pollution of unspeakable creatures is, as a god-transforming monk, I have a deep understanding of how successful I am.

At that moment, he followed his adoptive father's words and asked: "So the reason why I can't remember what happened before is because I was too polluted before, and then I was taken away by the 'high place' and underwent SAN recovery surgery?" ”

"Probably." The adoptive father was uncertain: "We've been locked up in a mental hospital and can't get any news from the outside world, so we don't know exactly what happened to you, but all in all, there's one thing you have to know." ”

"What's the matter?" Cheng Sheng followed and asked.

The adoptive father said, "Don't think that the 'high places' help the sorcerers clean up the pollution in their bodies, they are good people. In fact, the 'high place' arrest doesn't matter whether the sorcerer's SAN value is cleared or not. ”

"As far as the 'high places' are concerned, as long as they are sorcerers, they will all catch them correctly, including sorcerers who are in their right minds, such as me and your mother."

"Even if there are no evil magicians caught in this world, even if evil things are raging everywhere, the people in the 'high places' probably don't care."

"The purpose of the 'high places' is simply to catch sorcerers at all costs."

"So, what is the purpose of catching sorcerers from 'high places'?" Survive to ask.

"I don't know." The adoptive father shook his head and said, "That's why I remind you to pay extra attention. When you first came to visit us, I thought you had been completely cleansed of your body by the 'high places' and turned back into a normal person, but now it seems that you are not. ”

"You seem to be one of the very few sorcerers. Even if the body is cleaned of pollution, it can still retain a small amount of evil power, otherwise, you can't just turn off the monitoring equipment in this room, am I right? ”

"Well," he said, not knowing how to explain the concept of 'divine consciousness' to his adoptive father.

I only heard my adoptive father say again: "Also, I asked you if you have seen something unusual, and you said that there are." ”

"Being able to see visions is actually a manifestation of the residual pollution in the body."

"So to sum it up: even though the 'High Place' has performed SAN recovery surgery on you, you are still a sorcerer after the operation."
