Chapter 227 New dream fragments?

Shen Yao?

Hearing this familiar name, Shen Ge was stunned, because this was the "father" who had transformed into an octopus monster and swallowed his mother in one bite.

"Mom, I think you are confused again. This is my apprentice Shen Ge, not Shen Yao. Have you forgotten that I mentioned him to you before and showed you his photo?" Jiang Jing helped the old lady sit down on the sofa, and said helplessly.

The old lady had some old injuries, and her condition became more serious after her last serious illness. Although she looks strong, she actually feels like she is recovering from a last gasp.

In addition to the body, the consciousness also becomes less clear. It seems that the person is communicating with you normally, but in fact, they are talking at cross purposes and are not on the same channel at all. It is even more common for them to mistakenly recognize the wrong person.

Obviously the old lady didn't think so. When she heard her daughter say that she recognized the wrong person, she was so angry that she pounded the floor with her cane, making a loud bang: "How could I recognize the wrong person? He is Shen Yao. When he was naughty as a child, I used my cane to beat him. He was born in a military family and had a good material for being a soldier, but he chose to do research! What a waste of talent, what a pity... Shen Yao, have you figured it out now?"

"Sorry, Xiao Shen, my mother is a little conscious now..." Jiang Jing looked at Shen Ge awkwardly and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Shen Ge.

"Master's wife, Shen Yao is my father." Shen Ge said directly.

Shen Ge used to think that his childhood memories were vague because of the three years of "advanced studies" in Rongshan Mental Hospital. Now that he discovered that his "memories" were divided into clear and vague, he was sure that it was not that he had forgotten the memories related to his parents, but that this part of the memory was "fuzzy".

The emergence of the dream world made him gradually remember these "fuzzy" memories, but because of his death in the dream world, the originally "clear" memories became blurred.

Fortunately, Shen Ge's memory of his father was not so vague that he even forgot his name.

"Shen Yao is your father?" The old lady stared at Shen Ge, the scrutiny in her eyes becoming more and more severe, it was like a naughty kid who had done something bad and was being targeted by her but refused to admit it.

When Jiang Jing heard that the "Shen Yao" the old lady was talking about turned out to be Shen Ge's father, she was also slightly stunned, and then said: "Mom, look at how old I am, and Shen Ge is so young, how could he be the Shen Yao you are talking about."

"Shen Yao is married? And has a child?" The old lady seemed to be still digesting the information in front of her, muttering something in a low voice.

Shen Ge's memory of his father is very "fuzzy", or it can be said that his memory before he was ten years old is in a very vague state. Therefore, let alone the military family "Shen family" mentioned by the old lady, he doesn't even know whether he has grandparents.

"Madam, can you tell me about the Shen family where Shen Yao is?" Shen Ge thought that perhaps he could find some information about his father from the Shen family. By following this line of inquiry, he might be able to find out the truth of that year.

The old lady seemed to be still immersed in the surprise of "Shen Yao has a child", but Jiang Jing spoke up: "The Shen family my mother mentioned, I heard my grandfather mention it when I was a child. It's not an exaggeration to say that the whole family is loyal and brave. The men in the family, from officers to soldiers, are all soldiers. But later, due to heavy casualties in a war, the family fell into decline. As the elders above retired, they gradually withdrew from Dajing."

"I met Grandpa Shen when I was a child. He brought his grandson to visit my house. I remember that child was called 'Shen Yao'. He loved reading. Later, I heard that he returned from studying abroad and gave up the military officer route originally arranged for him by his family and chose to join the national research industry. Grandpa Shen was so angry about this that he fell ill and finally expelled him from the Shen family."

Shen Ge felt complicated after listening to Jiang Jing's story. In his vague memory, his father and Uncle Tang were just employees of a medical device company, at most a "doctor". How come they suddenly became national researchers?

Shen Ge's memories of his father are very "vague", not to mention the Shen family and Grandpa Shen who kicked his father out of the house in a fit of anger.

But it was not surprising that my father would end up like this. As a military family, they all hoped that their descendants would be iron-blooded men who would follow the path of a soldier until the end. Who knew that there would be an "outlier" who gave up military service and turned to literature, and only liked to immerse himself in research.

This was considered treason in the eyes of the older generation who had just returned from the battlefield, so it was not surprising that they would expel him from the family.

Of course, what Shen Ge cares about is not that his father was kicked out of the family, but how much the Shen family knows about his father's "research" and whether he was a veteran of the Haiya Research Institute back then?
If so, Shen Ge felt that his "system" and dream world might have something to do with his father. Even if it was not done by him, he should know some clues.

Thinking of this, Shen Ge couldn't help but think of what Ye Jingwen had said to him. If he was the baby with the "Original Weirdness" in his body, his father would have gathered talents from all walks of life to form the first group of weird researchers, and then awakened the dormant weirdness in this world step by step...

"Master's wife, do you know the address of the Shen family?" Shen Ge asked.

Jiang Jing shook her head. "After Grandpa Shen retired, almost no one in the Shen family could hold on to the family. You know this place in Dajing. A brick thrown down can knock out several cadres. The Shen family was a well-known figure in Dajing. When Grandpa Shen left, the monkeys scattered... At least the few cadres with the surname Shen that I know in Dajing should have nothing to do with the Shen family."

Shen Ge sighed, feeling a little regretful for not being able to find out any information about the Shen family. Fortunately, he didn't expect to find out anything through his father's line.

At this time, the old lady said, "Wow, isn't this the kid from the Shen family? I remember you, Shen Yao, right? What's the matter? You finally listened to my advice and came to learn Baji from me?"

Shen Ge:?
Jiang Jing: ...

"Madam, you have already said this. I am not Shen Yao. I am his son Shen Ge, and also your daughter's apprentice..."

Before Shen Ge finished speaking, the old lady suddenly realized and said, "Oh! Shen Yao, you are married. Your partner is that girl named Yang, right? I was wondering if you gave up going to the military academy and went abroad to study biological research just for this girl?"

Ok?
Shen Ge was stunned. He didn't expect that this could yield any results. Just as he was about to continue asking questions on this topic, he saw the old lady nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice, as if... she had fallen asleep.

"?"

"..."

The rest of the people present were immediately thrown into an awkward atmosphere. Jiang Jing said apologetically, "Xiao Shen, I'm really sorry. My mother has been like this lately. She often falls asleep while chatting. How about you stay here today and continue asking her after she wakes up?"

"Master's wife, I'm sorry to bother you." Shen Ge was very concerned about his parents' situation. He finally met someone who might know some clues about the past, so he naturally wanted to learn as much as possible. Jiang Jing asked the maid to prepare a room for Shen Ge, and then she and the maid helped the old lady upstairs to rest. Shen Ge and Jiang Jing had lunch together, chatted about the Rongcheng branch for a while, and then went back to the room to rest.

Strangely, when Shen Ge was lying on the bed in the room, his consciousness became briefly blurred, and then a strange feeling of tiredness came over him.

Is this strange feeling of sleepiness again?
Shen Ge was startled and sat up. He asked Xiao Qi to control the blood-corrupted tentacles and lock the doors and windows. He told it to imitate his voice if anyone came looking for him. Then he fell asleep on the bed with red mist armor covering his body.

Soon, Shen Ge once again entered that strange state of confusion, floating up and down, as if he was in the sea, gradually drifting towards the endless sea.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Ge was awakened by a strange noise. He found that his hands were tied behind his back, his mouth was stuffed with a cloth, and then wrapped with transparent tape several times.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Shen Ge struggled hard, his hands and feet were tied up, and his hands were tied behind his back several times, and he couldn't use any strength at all.

During the struggle, he bumped into the person next to him, and then he heard a rich male voice scolding: "It's almost here, if you move again, I will throw you out of the car."

Ok?
Shen Ge felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. It seemed to be the experience when he first entered the dream world and was trapped in a car and sent to Rongshan Mental Hospital?
Shen Ge tried calling Xiao Qi and the system, but still no response.

However, this time, facing the deep male voice cursing, he did not struggle anymore, trying to annoy the other party to get more information, because he already knew what would happen next.

Shen Ge calmed down. He seemed to be curled up in the corner of the back seat without moving, but in fact he was concentrating and trying to gather his mental strength.

Soon, he felt a stone appear in his palm. This was the stone he condensed with his mental strength in an attempt to utilize the power of "materialization".

The ability to materialize is still there, so it is definitely a dream world.

However, what puzzled Shen Ge was that, whether it was his previous exploration into the high tower of Doomsday Banyan City, where he was swallowed by the dark room full of eyes, or his falling into the dream world at the Dajing Ping'an Hotel, and finally entering the spire causing the collapse of the dream world, all meant the destruction of the "dream world". So why did he come in again now?
Shen Ge thought of the mirror fragments he saw when the dream world collapsed at Ping An Hotel. Countless images overlapped on top of each other, just like the "ending" that "Tian Gan" had said!
So, whether it is the collapse of the high tower in Doomsday Banyan City or the collapse of the spire of Ping An Hotel, the collapse of these two dream worlds is just the collapse of an "ending", the collapse of a dream fragment, not the collapse of the dream world?
So, here are new dream fragments?
Every time Shen Ge enters the dream world, he can get a lot of clues, and his control over the "power" in the dream becomes more and more proficient. This time, he wants to see what the dream world has to give him!
Just as Shen Ge was thinking, he heard the car stop, followed by the sound of a door opening, and then a big hand grabbed his shoulder and dragged him out of the car.

Just like the last time, as soon as he was pulled out of the car, he was thrown heavily to the ground by the person who pulled him out, and he almost fainted from the pain.

With the previous experiences, Shen Ge also knew that all the perceptions in the dream world were exactly the same as the reality. That was why he would experience several months of human experiment that was worse than death.

This time he did not struggle or make a noise, and the man next to him did not curse at him either. He just pulled him up from the ground and tore off the rag covering his eyes.

Then, the man pointed to the rusty iron gate in front of him and the paint-chipped sign on it and said, "This will be your home from now on. If you behave yourself, I promise you'll live like a normal person. If you don't, we have a hundred ways to make your life worse than death!"

Boom!

This time the thunder came earlier, and it exploded while the man was still talking. In the split second when the lightning flashed, the bloody red words on the peeling sign next to the iron gate were particularly creepy -

Mental hospital.

"Is it because I didn't struggle this time and this person had less time to curse, so there are some deviations in the details?" Shen Ge's eyes sank slightly and he thought of a question.

If the choice made in this journey to the dream world is completely opposite to the last one, will the ending be completely different?

For example, did he cooperate with the experiment from the very beginning, or even try to actively join and become a member of Rongshan Mental Hospital, just like in his "clear" memory of Rongshan Mental Hospital?
"Okay, I understand." Shen Ge stood up obediently, appearing very docile.

His submissive look also stunned the man, but he didn't say anything and dragged him straight to the mental hospital.

Shen Ge walked in the compound, looking around curiously. This was somewhat different from the layout of the Rongshan Psychiatric Hospital in his original "clear" memory, but it was similar to the scene he saw when he escaped from the inpatient building after defeating the dean in his last dream world.

After Shen Ge was taken into the mental hospital by the burly man, a group of doctors and nurses in white coats came forward, took him from the burly man, and said something to him.

This time, Shen Ge cooperated with the men in white coats in the preliminary inspection, mainly because he wanted to listen quietly to what the burly man said.

Unfortunately, after just listening to a few sentences, I was taken to a closed room.

The room was very small, only ten square meters, and there was nothing in it except a bed. There was not even a window for ventilation. It was like an independent prison.

The strange thing is that after Shen Ge had a clear "subjective consciousness" this time, he did not experience the first time he came to the dream world and faced those white coats. His body was out of control, he struggled and roared excitedly, and shouted words like "I'm not sick, let me go", "I'm not mentally ill", "They are hurting me", "Let me go".

Because of this, the man in the white coat did not inject him with a sedative this time. He just gave him a few instructions and left.

After the man in the white coat left, Shen Ge looked towards the palm-sized observation window above the closed door on the left. Looking out through the window, it seemed as if several pale faces were crowded together, staring at Shen Ge in the room.

This time he saw clearly that those pale faces were the ones in white coats who had just left!
