In the exchange, time passes little by little

After two uneventful stops, the train came to the third stop.

Outside the window, in the gray fog that gradually dissipated, a ruined city like ruins appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Under the dazzling full moon, the city was destroyed for some reason, high-rise buildings collapsed, the earth cracked, and the hideous section of bare steel concrete was exposed to the air.

However, in the cracks of the ruins, clumps of weeds and vines are slowly enveloping and devouring the hideous past.

If nothing else, perhaps in thousands of years, there will only be one primeval forest left here.

"Is this the place?" Colin questioned the two of them as he looked at the luminous object in the sky.

It feels like the moon at the time of the full moon.

But whether it is or not, it is difficult to say.

"Yes, that's it."

The orange cat looked at the moon-like celestial body with his eyes, and seemed to think of something:

"It's amazing how the luminous body is here, after falling from the east, it will rise from the east, and then it will rise from the west and rise from the spot, and it will jump sideways from left to right, left and right."

"Indeed, when you reach the highest position in the center, it is about as bright as a typical cloudy day." The Grey Blessed Sacrament nodded.

"Is that so?" Colin shook his head, realizing that there was a high probability that this was a certain world under the jurisdiction of the company.

Heavenly things should be man-made.

And this place should not be particularly far from the earth

'It seems that if it is generally far away and cannot be easily reached, the 'Advent Protocol' will be activated, and those who are close will arrive directly by train, well, this point is not particularly absolute.'

As a thought flashed, Colin felt the train stop, so he stood up and walked to the door.

That is, when I walked here, the door "clicked" open.

Fresh air mixed with a slight smell of bio-feces greeted you

After making sure that there was no problem, Colin went straight out of the door, and the two followed closely behind and left the train together.

When several people left, the train closed the door with a "snap", and quickly moved away in the sound of the "bell, bell, bell".

"There should be nothing dangerous nearby, it's quiet and clean"

Colin raised a ball of flame and covered the trio's heads, not receiving direct fire from the celestial bodies here.

Perceiving his surroundings through the illumination of the flames, he felt a rare sense of indescribable tranquility.

It's as if there is no pollution at all.

However, considering the "non-existent hospital" and the nature of the "train in the fog", Colin was skeptical of his own idea.

But the goal of the trip was not to examine the world, but to "hospitals that don't exist."

Colin didn't waste much time in this regard, took a brief look around, and after discussing it, he obeyed the guidance given by the mission and flew over the ruined world.

A large number of frightened animals felt the deafening vibration in the air, and they all burrowed into their nests in terror and shivered

"The animal image is just a rabbit and a cockroach or something, nothing particularly strange."

Colin took in everything and didn't stop.

But about half an hour later, the big fireball that enveloped the three people in mid-air stopped.

"How do you feel that the distance to this hospital has not been shortened?"

He looked around with a frown, feeling that something wasn't quite right.

The mission leads forward, but no matter how it goes, it doesn't seem to be far away, and there is no real change.

"Actually."

The Grey Sacrament behind him suddenly opened his mouth to attract Colin's gaze, and then continued: "I remember that the hospital is here"

"Right here?"

Colin looked around, apart from the ruins of ordinary residents or the ruins of ordinary residents, where did he come from?

However, the orange cat, who had also entered it, also said, "I remember that it was around here, too."

The fact that the two men determined this at the same time forced Colin to think carefully about why.

"Maybe this hospital is built underground?"

He tried to let the flames seep into the ground of the surrounding area, there were not many underground buildings, such as underground garages, sewers, lower malls, etc.

But there is no trace of a hospital.

"Are you sure it's really here?" Colin retracted the flame and asked again.

The other two did not answer immediately, but frowned together, looked around, and fell into deep thought, if I remember correctly, the hospital was nearby.

It's not hard to find, just a few special.

"Will this hospital have some kind of high-level stealth? Is there a low sense of presence, or something else? ”

Colin jumped onto a tall reinforced concrete building and looked around, thoughtful.

In a similar situation, he immediately thought of an out-of-control "humble knight" he encountered in the early days, and the other party cut off his head several times in the "Book of Numerology: Fragments" by reducing his sense of existence.

Thinking of this, Colin tried to spread the flames out of his body.

With his current strength, if he encounters such a method again, he can easily break the game through the "bonfire".

However, ten minutes passed.

Colin reluctantly put away the flames, but he didn't get anything.

The Ash Saint not far away saw the flames retracted, and knew that Brother Shunzi had not succeeded in finding it this time, so he couldn't help but say: "It's strange, I obviously feel like it's here, but there seems to be a force that prevents us from discovering it."

"To be honest, I feel like I'm here, as if I can touch it." The orange cat said and even reached forward and touched it.

'I've checked it all, how could there be.'

Colin was also puzzled, inexplicably a little creepy.

Both employees have strong feelings, but they don't notice anything, what is the reason?

Could it be that the strength is stronger, which will lead to the inability to see that hospital?

Or is the feeling of the two people all imaginary and fake?

"No, it should be true, combined with the invisible guidance of the mission, the 'non-existent hospital' does always point to the vicinity, theoretically speaking, I can see this distance directly, but I don't feel it at all."

"If there really is a hospital here, then why can't I feel it, both of them. Kindness? ”

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and Colin jerked his head up to look in a certain direction.

But when I saw it, I couldn't see anything but ruins and vines, and everything was like an illusion

He rolled his eyes, quickly thought about what he had just felt, and then realized something, and suddenly closed his eyes: "The hospital should be here, since the two employees have determined this, it must be right.

"The hospital is over there, it's over there, yes, the mission affirms that, it's right there!"

That is, when Colin was muttering in his heart like self-hypnosis, the voices of two employees suddenly came to his ears.

"It's out! The hospital is out! Brother Junko, look! ”

Hearing this, Colin held his breath and opened his eyes, only to see an asphalt road appear in front of him out of thin air.

At the end of the asphalt road, a gray-white medical complex with a large number of departments looms.

At the same time, some inspiration kept coming in, and Colin understood why.

'This hospital is, if you believe it, you don't believe it'

'The reason why the two of them always felt that they were nearby was because they had already been there once, and they probably knew why, and they believed that there was one nearby, but because I didn't believe it, it didn't appear.'

Or, if there was no me, but only the two of them, then it should have appeared, but because my spirit was higher than the two of them, I directly suppressed them, but the follow-up kept hinting that it could appear. ’

Colin roughly figured out the logic behind the appearance of this thing.

If you lose your relevant memories through some means, I am afraid that it will disappear again and no longer exist in the world.

"It really deserves its name of 'non-existence'."

After figuring out the situation, Colin retracted his thoughts and beckoned two employees to follow.

And when the three of them entered the asphalt road at the same time, the hospital, which existed in a strange way, disappeared in place again.

Everything on the asphalt road was intact, and there was no sign of destruction, and along the road, the looming hospital became more and more clear as the light of the fire entered.

It's a huge hospital made up of multiple buildings, and it's even lit up behind nearly a fifth of the glass windows, as if a patient is being seen in it.

"It's better to turn off all the lights, a few of them are pretty scary," Colin sighed.

When he looked directly at the hospital, he felt nervous for no reason, and an indescribable sense of depression.

"There will be some shadows in those lights, but there will be no one, anyway, as long as you don't touch those shadows, there will be no problem"

The orange cat on the side said, and then pointed in a direction: "The first three floors are actually not too dangerous, and no one even exists.

"Let's go to the outpatient department first and find a special staircase from the inside."

"Well, yes, it's okay to go up the first few floors, as long as you find a little special staircase, you can go up." The Grey Blessed Sacrament added.

"What kind of special law?" Colin asked.

"It's hard to say, anyway, you can feel something is wrong at a glance, a very uncomfortable feeling"

"And what about the buildings in the back?"

"It's a trick, when we first came, we wasted a lot of time on the top, and when we finally had to leave, we found that the road to the next floor was in the low building of the outpatient department." The Grey Saint said hatefully.

"Okay."

After a while, several people walked into the door of the outpatient department, and the smell of disinfectant water greeted them.

Unlike what you see from the outside, the inner hall is brightly lit, and it looks like a normal hospital except for the fact that there are no people, and it is unusually quiet.

Colin stepped inside, and was about to look for the so-called special staircase

However, his eyes flickered, and he stopped and looked at a consultation desk in the middle of the lobby of the outpatient department.

There, a figure of a woman in a white uniform stood

Noticing Colin's movements, the two looked at each other, and then they were also taken aback.

"! How could anyone be here!? The orange cat was startled, surrounded by wind blades on her body, and almost flew directly towards the other party.

But Colin reached out and dispersed the blades with flames.

"Don't upset the balance here," Colin whispered, not feeling the danger for a moment.

Coupled with the fact that I don't know much about this place, in this case, it's best not to mess around.

At this moment, the woman standing at the front desk turned her head to look at several people, with a professional smile on a beautiful face:

"Hello, welcome to our hospital, is there anything you need my help with?"

The soft words echoed through the empty hall under the incandescent lamp, making people shudder.

"What's the matter, the last time we came, we didn't seem to have this person." The orange cat looked at Brother Junko.

Just didn't wait for Colin to speak, the Ash Saint on the side suddenly spoke: "This voice seems to be an employee of our previous actions, and the figure is also similar, no, it's her!" ”

"Employees? What happened to her? Colin frowned.

"She was one of the two who couldn't get out of the house because she was in some trouble and got lost," said the Grey Blessed Sacrament, with mixed feelings.

One of the purposes for him to come in was to want to know the fate of his old teammates, but he didn't expect to see one when he entered the door.

"In other words, if something happens here, it could become a part of this place?" Colin pursed his lips.

"So what now?" The orange cat said nervously.

Hearing his words, the Grey Eucharist also looked at Colin.

"It's a little weird, to be honest, it doesn't look like a living person, it doesn't look like a dead person, it's a bit like a puppet." Colin flashed away in the light of the fire, sensing it.

"If there is no problem, ignore her for the time being, and at present, the task requirements are the main focus, investigate downwards first, understand the situation, and then consider her."

Hearing Colin's decision, the two did not object.

However, before the action, Colin thought of the mission notes, looked for a while, and finally stopped on an LED screen.

"Patients are welcome. During the visit, the patient or the patient's guardian is asked to follow the following rules to avoid being deceived. ”

"1. Please note that there are only three floors in the outpatient department of this hospital, and there are no more floors, if you see an unruly upward staircase, please withdraw it in time."

"2. All the diagnosis and treatment in our hospital are completely unmanned, please do not trust any fraudsters who pretend to be our hospital, and do not respond to any of their words."

"3. Please 甯府鎴戝府甯垜甯府鎴戯紒锛侊紒."

The red font scrolls on the LED screen

"Third, what is this? Garbled? ”

Colin looked at the previous two again, there were no more floors, which, combined with the experience of the employees, in a sense, hinted at the path to the next floor?

As for Article 2.

This is in conflict with the female employee in the lobby who has become the front desk.

"What happens if this violates the rules?" Ash Eucharist and Orange Cat also noticed the font on this LED screen.

"Don't worry about this for now, let's act first."

Colin beckoned and began to search the outpatient building.

With information from two people, they did not waste time entering the other buildings behind the outpatient department, which greatly shortened the search area.

About ten minutes later, Colin was near a corner on the first floor, and saw a passage that was indistinguishable from any other hallway, but gave the impression that it led to an abyss.

"This is it." Both were determined at the same time.

Hearing this, Colin did not hesitate, surrounded by flames, carrying a revolver, and took the lead in the forefront. (End of chapter)
