Under a series of brainwashing by Merlin, Lin Qiye and Li Yifei stayed where they were.

"You mean...... The world we live in is not real? Lin Qiye's expression was a little strange.

"Yes."

"Do you have proof?"

"Isn't that proof that these myths of ours have suddenly appeared in your world?"

"......" Lin Qiye rubbed the corners of his eyes, and suddenly felt ...... There seems to be some truth to what Merlin said.

"But if the world we live in is false, does that mean we are false?" Li Yifei couldn't help but speak.

"That's right." Merlin nodded as a matter of course.

"In that case, how can you, a false being, question the truth of the world?" Li Yifei paused, "Just like you just said, fish don't question creatures outside the ocean, and two-dimensional creatures don't question the world beyond the plane......

Well, when you begin to question that the world is false, your existence itself ...... Or is it fake? "

When Merlin heard Li Yifei's words, it was like a lightning strike, and he was directly petrified in place.

Lin Qiye's eyes when he looked at Li Yifei changed instantly.

"You still know philosophy?" He leaned into Li Yifei's ear and asked.

"No, I just didn't figure it out." Li Yifei scratched his head.

Lin Qiye glanced at him meaningfully, and then turned his head to look at Merlin, "You said that you are a scholar looking for the real world, so have you found it?" "

Merlin's eyes sparkled again!

"Found it!" He said firmly, "I don't know how long ago, I used magic to communicate with a mysterious plane, although I don't know where it is, but I can vaguely predict that it is the real world!" "

"What's that world like?"

"It seems to be at the bottom of the sea, and there are all kinds of small houses in it, in the shape of pineapples, in the shape of human heads, there are shops selling strange food, and there seems to be a strange yellow square......"

Merlin began to recall what he had seen and heard, his eyes widening and his body began to twitch unconsciously......

Lin Qiye frowned, and found that things were not simple, so he took Li Yifei and silently took half a step back.

"Real world...... I saw the real world!! Merlin's hands and feet danced wildly with excitement, and the peace and wisdom in his eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by a strange madness.

His body twisted violently, and after a moment, turned into a pink starfish.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the staff next to the chair turned into a fishing net, and he quickly ran to Lin Qiye's side, dancing with his hands.

"SpongeBob SquarePants!!

Let's go catch jellyfish! "

Patrick Merlin circled around Lin Qiye a few times, and then ran out of the ward with a fishing net, and ran in the yard, running and running, he jumped up, and the fishing net in his hand danced wildly, as if he was catching something invisible.

Suddenly, he saw Nyx sitting in a rocking chair in a daze......

"Plankton! Plankton boss! You're here too, huh? Patrick Merlin leaned over to Nyx's side and asked cheerfully.

Nyx was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the unidentified pink object, lost in thought......

After a while, she stretched out her hand tremblingly, hugged the Patrick Merlin into her arms, and said with tears in her eyes:

"You...... Are you my grandson too?! "

"Plankton!!"

"Sun Tzu!"

"Plankton!!"

"Grandson, grandma is here!"

"……"

The two who witnessed everything on the second floor......

Lin Qiye: ( ・᷄ὢ・᷅ )?

Li Yifei:( ••ˍ•※ )

"I think, I probably know where he is......" Lin Qiye silently watched this scene and said quietly.

"How can I say it......" Li Yifei scratched his head, "It looks like this, it's actually a little inexplicably touching......"

Lin Qiye pushed the flat glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a doctor's tone:

"In the long process of exploration, the 'real world' has become Merlin's inner demon, and in order to find it, Merlin used prophecy and magic countless times, and finally did not know what strange magic circle he made, connected to the so-called 'real world', and teleported his consciousness to the past......

Whether or not that world was the 'real world' or not, I don't know, but there is no doubt that it had some strange effect on his mental consciousness, which eventually led to a mental disorder. "

"So what are we going to do?" Li Yifei felt a little headache.

"…… I don't know. Lin Qiye shook his head, after all, he was not a real psychiatrist, although he could reason about what happened, but how to treat it, he really didn't know anything.

Do you want to go to Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital again and repeat your old tricks? But now that it's the New Year, the doctors in the psychiatric department are probably going to have a holiday, right?

Lin Qiye looked at Merlin who was jumping around below, and sighed slowly.

"Before the real world, he was relatively normal, and now this should only be a short-term symptom...... Anyway, let's go and inject him with some tranquilizers first to see if we can change back to the original first, it's too much of a toss-up. "

"Who's going?"

"What do you say?"

"……"

A humble nurse who was oppressed by the black-hearted boss sighed and walked alone in the direction of the pharmacy.

After a while, Li Yifei carried a big syringe and chased after the Patrick star Merlin, and Nyx also followed closely behind, shouting:

"Little Flyer! That's your brother, you can't do it so ruthlessly! "

The three of them chased in the courtyard for a while, and finally Li Yifei successfully injected the tranquilizer into Merlin's body, who suddenly quieted down, turned back into a human form and shook on the road for a while, and sat down on the ground with a poof.

Li Yifei sat on the ground tired, panting heavily.

"This job...... It's so tiring! "

Lin Qiye stepped forward and confirmed Merlin's state, and found that he was only a little confused, which should be the sequelae of the confusion just now, and there was nothing serious.

Although Merlin's illness is serious, it will not last long, at least when he does not mention the real world, he can still communicate normally, so there is no need to worry too much, the main problem now is to think of a cure first.

He patted Li Yifei on the shoulder, "Take care of them, I'll go first." "

Then, in Li Yifei's resentful eyes, Lin Qiye disappeared behind the door of the hospital.

……

Early morning.

Lin Qiye woke up from the bed leisurely, raised his eyes and looked out the window, but at some point, there was already a blanket of silver outside the window.

"It snowed so heavily last night?" Lin Qiye muttered, walked to the window, and stopped to look into the distance.

Outside, the streets were already white, and large snowflakes were falling slowly from the sky, condensing on the edges of the windows, and gradually melting.

In Cangnan, such heavy snow is rare.

Just as Lin Qiye was about to go to wash, he suddenly stopped, looked back at the corner of the house, and sighed softly.

In the corner, a little gray mouse was lying there quietly, motionless.
