I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 677 Tooth decay

Although he was still very scared, Dr. Liu still maintained his professionalism.

He tested the girl's blood and gave her a thorough physical examination.

The girl's body was normal, with no abnormalities except for slow development and some severe tooth decay.

But after getting the test results of the girl's body, Dr. Liu became even more distressed, because it meant that he could not find the cause of the girl's illness. It was not an organ mutation, nor an infection by pathogens. This abyss disease might really be lurking in another world as the girl said.

After experiencing that hallucination, Dr. Liu was very cautious every time he met a girl. He would always pinch his palms to prevent himself from falling into that terrible hallucination again.

However, he still felt a strange feeling in his heart.

It was a kind of concern that appeared without knowing when. The image of the girl would always appear in his mind. He would always miss her, and sometimes he would even stop the work in his hands and keep thinking about the girl.

He also reported his physical condition to his superiors, but they asked him to hold on for a while longer.

"We can't wait any longer." Doctor Liu knew clearly that he had to find out the cause of the girl's illness, and then apply to his superiors for relics to eliminate the cause, otherwise he would suffer the same fate as Doctor Zeng.

Now, he has confirmed that the other "she" the girl mentioned must be related to the girl's abyss disease.

In order to find the truth, or perhaps influenced by that strange emotion, Dr. Liu made a bold decision - to enter the illusion again.

He found a chair and sat in the girl's ward. He loosened his clenched hands and closed his eyes...

After an unknown amount of time, when he opened his eyes again, the little girl who was reading the book had turned into an adult woman.

She was wearing a loose hospital gown, sitting in the middle of the ward, her slender fingers stroking the pages of the book, and she seemed completely immersed in the world in the book.

"Who are you?" Dr. Liu asked.

"Lan Xin." The woman replied.

"age."

"24."

Doctor Liu took a deep breath. He knew that he had succeeded. The woman in front of him was the source of the disease.

However, just as he was thinking about how to proceed, the woman raised her head slightly and looked at Dr. Liu.

"You're back." The woman laughed, her voice as sweet as a silver bell, exactly the same as when she first heard it.

"Are you here to take me far away? You finally came to fulfill your promise..."

Doctor Liu quickly shook his head: "I never made a promise."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "You forgot?"

She closed the book, reached out and grabbed Dr. Liu.

Dr. Liu wanted to dodge, but out of his duty as a doctor, he allowed the woman to grab him.

The woman's hands were icy cold, as if they had no temperature at all.

And at the moment the woman held his hand, Dr. Liu suddenly had a memory...

That was a memory between him and the woman.

……

One day, his superior gave him an urgent task and asked him to take care of a patient.

He came to the ward and met a woman for the first time.

"Lan Xin, right?"

"Yes." The woman nodded.

"Tell me about your illness."

"Okay." The woman said calmly, "I can see the real world..."

In the woman's description, the world they live in is false, fabricated, incomplete, and just a blank fragment.

In the real world...

"I am only 12 years old, and your last name is not Liu, but Zeng."

The woman calmly described the events in the real world, with perfect details and completely self-consistent logic, as if it were really another world. He listened, completely fascinated. Although he was a doctor, he was immersed in the world described by the patient...

As if by some strange coincidence, he asked the woman a question: "How do we get to the real world?"

The woman was very excited when she heard his question.

"You believe me?"

"Believe it." He followed the woman's words and continued.

"I have a way to get you out, but you have to remember to save me, and we can run away together..."

The woman gently took his hand and placed it over her heart.

Then, he felt a sharp pain...

Memories surged up in his mind, and Dr. Liu simply shook off the icy hand, only to find that the person in front of him was actually a little girl. He quickly tore off his white coat and placed his hand on his heart.

There are actually suture scars on it...

"What's going on? What's going on?"

Doctor Liu stumbled out of the ward and called his superior:
"Is my last name Liu or Zeng?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a name." The leader replied indifferently.

“Is this the real world?”

"What you feel is real is real."

"Lan Xin is not the only one who is sick. I am sick too, right?" Doctor Liu kept asking.

"You are cured." The superior said calmly, "I remember you were a dentist, right? Tooth decay is a disease. If you fill the decayed part, the disease will be cured... But there is another situation. The tooth is completely decayed and you can only replace it with another tooth, porcelain tooth, gold tooth... anything is fine. This can also be considered as a cure.

"We just need to cure the patient. Why should we consider so much? It doesn't matter whether it is the original tooth or the porcelain tooth. As long as the function is the same..."

Listening to the content on the phone, Dr. Liu's mind exploded instantly. He hung up the phone like a zombie and walked back to the ward.

"Lan Xin, right?"

"Yes."

"age."

"12."

The little girl didn't know why Dr. Liu asked the same question so many times, but she still answered obediently.

"Lan Xin, do you want to be discharged from the hospital?"

"of course."

"Lan Xin, do you want to be discharged from the hospital?" Doctor Liu asked the woman in front of him.

"Of course," the woman nodded and replied expectantly.

The two Lan Xins of different ages overlapped, and their longing eyes were fixed on Dr. Liu in front of them at the same time.

There is no difference between the two...

He finally understood why his superiors had given him this task and not sent anyone to help him.

"This is a test."

The superiors already knew his origins, and they also knew that the girl's abyssal disease was not an aura of sympathy at all.

This was an experiment from beginning to end.

Lan Xin is an experimental subject, and so is he.

He escaped to the so-called "real world", but was still trapped in this "ward". The experimenters who observed him didn't care whether he had "cavities" or not. They just watched silently to see if his "functions" were still intact.

As long as it can still chew those hard foods, it is a good tooth...
