The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

Chapter 231 Close to the truth
Seeing this, Sanzi showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a lonely tone: "In fact, I have known for a long time that I am not a normal person. I don't even have any memories of the past, and I don't even know where I came from... I have been locked up in this building since I became conscious. I also know that there are many "people" like me here, thrown into the toilet like garbage, slowly rotting, and sent to the backyard for disposal..."

"You are my first friend, don't worry, I am the one who brought you out this time, I will take the responsibility alone if anything happens, and I will never implicate you!"

"Hurry up, it will be too late if you leave later!"

The true feelings revealed on Sanzai's pale face did not seem fake. It seemed that he really regarded Shen Ge as his friend and wanted to help him leave here.

Shen Ge always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while, so he could only follow Sanzai's instructions and step on his hands to climb towards the ventilation pipe above.

After Sanzai struggled to prop Shen Ge up, Shen Ge lay down at the ventilation pipe and stretched out his hand: "Grab my hand, I'll pull you up."

"It's too late, you should leave quickly!" Sanzai said anxiously.

Shen Ge said: "But you said that if we are caught, we will be fed to insects?"

Sanzai grinned, revealing a creepy smile: "Don't worry about me, I'm used to eating bugs, I miss them after not eating them for a long time. Don't worry about me, I know how to run. It won't be easy for them to catch me!"

"and many more!"

Before he finished his words, Sanzai jumped down from the sink, opened the door and rushed out. When he ran out, Shen Ge faintly heard the sound of "da, da, da" footsteps coming from the corridor.

At this time, Shen Ge had mastered the ability of "materialization", so naturally he would not panic like he did in the first dream world because of the influence of the mind of the ten-year-old Shen Ge. Instead, he lay quietly inside the ventilation duct, paying attention to the situation in the toilet.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

At this time, a skinny figure slowly walked into the toilet. The scary thing was that she didn't walk in directly, but stretched her head and neck in first. After looking around, she slowly raised her neck and looked in the direction of the ventilation duct, and then her body walked into the toilet.

Shen Ge was no stranger to this terrifying scene. The person he saw the most in his last dream world was the dean of "The Neck Man".

Shen Ge lay down on the inside of the ventilation duct and lowered his body. He then "materialized" an illusion that led normally from the ventilation duct opening to the depths, hiding himself in the illusion.

The dean stretched his head over the ventilation duct and took a few glances, but was deceived by the illusion created by Shen Ge. He retracted his neck and left the bathroom.

Shen Ge followed the ventilation duct all the way down according to his memory, and finally returned to the floor where the ward was located and returned to the ward.

He lay on the hospital bed waiting for the "end" of this night. If the reincarnation ended smoothly, it would prove that his guess was correct.

On the contrary, he would need to find a new way to escape from the repetitive dream.

Just as Shen Ge was trying hard to recall the details of this "infinite reincarnation", he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, as if a cold dagger was wiping across his neck.

But there wasn't even a window for ventilation in the room. The observation window on the door and the hole below for delivering meals were all closed, so it was impossible for wind to blow in.

Shen Ge felt the bed board shaking slightly and making a creaking sound. There seemed to be something crawling under the bed, making a rustling sound.

In the narrow ward, these tiny sounds seem to be infinitely amplified, and normal people usually feel uneasy and panicked in this situation.

Shen Ge sat up from the bed and listened carefully to the movements around him: "Strange, I spent the night safely in the previous reincarnations, why did something go wrong today?"

This kind of horrifying scene was not unfamiliar to Shen Ge, because strictly speaking, he entered the "loop" mode when he first entered the dream world.

The only difference was that back then, he would enter the "loop" only after each death, but now it would be "reset" after spending a night.

Shen Ge originally thought that tonight would be as peaceful as before until the next day, but who knew that something unexpected would happen ahead of time!
Shen Ge was ready to "materialize" weapons and fight back at any time, but after a few minutes, the temperature in the ward dropped inexplicably, and he shivered involuntarily.

This feeling was so weird, as if he was thrown into an ice cellar, and it affected his physical senses from a mental perspective.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound from under the bed. Shen Ge turned on the switch at the head of the bed, and the desk lamp on the right lit up. Strangely, there was nothing under the bed.

However, the strange noises under the bed became louder and louder. Shen Ge felt as if a cold wind was blowing across his ears, neck, and back of his neck, as if there was a cold person lying behind him, brushing his body with his fingers.

Shen Ge retreated to the bed, leaned his back against the wall, and pulled the quilt over his body. Only then did the cold feeling on his back gradually disappear.

At this moment, the corner of Shen Ge's quilt on the bed slowly bulged up, as if something crawled out from under the bed and got into his quilt.

Shen Ge simply stood up, stepped on the quilt, stared at the bulge and said, "Hey, why don't you learn something else? Why learn to crawl into the quilt like Kayako? Can this method still scare people these days?"

"Hey, come out and talk for a minute?" Shen Ge moved the bulge in the quilt with his foot.

Shen Ge did not rashly "materialize" his weapon, especially after learning from Dr. Chen that hidden cameras were installed throughout the inpatient department, he became more cautious in his every move.

After all, it has come to this point. Shen Ge is a little tired of being trapped in the endless repetition of the past. He just wants to find a way to leave the dream world as soon as possible.

Shen Ge believed that he was forcibly dragged into the dream world in an "unconscious state" every time, but when he thought about everything that happened in Ping An Hotel, he thought that there should be a "switch" for all this. Once he mastered this switch, he would be able to enter and exit the dream world at will.

Of course, this premise is based on the fact that what the monster in the mirror said is true, and Shen Ge really has the "key" to "open" the dream world.

"Shen Ge."

"Shen Ge."

At this time, a voice came from under the bed. It was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, or an age, but it didn't sound like an emotionless mechanical voice like AI. It could be felt that it was a person calling Shen Ge's name, but the voice seemed a little illusory.

Singer Shen leaned on the bed and bent down to look under the bed: "If you have something to say, please say it. If not, please leave."

The originally tense and terrifying atmosphere instantly became less terrifying under Shen Ge's calm tone, but after Shen Ge bent down, he immediately saw a pale, wrinkled face, as if he was an eighty or ninety-year-old man, who was sticking to the dog hole next door and looking at this side.

"Hi, do you want to visit?" Shen Ge smiled at the old face and extended an invitation.

"Shen Ge."

"Shen Ge."

The old man's face was still calling Shen Ge's name in a rapid voice, and his whole face was squeezed against the dog hole, as if he was trying to squeeze in.

Shen Ge looked at the horrifying scene in front of him and said calmly: "Your figure is a bit difficult to penetrate. Since it's so close, why don't you try going through the door?" "Shen Ge!"

"Shen Ge!"

The voice of the old man's face became louder and louder, even becoming a bit shrill and harsh.

Shen Ge grabbed the spittoon and hit the old man's face with a perfect bowling ball with his backhand. He said in a bad tone: "Just shout, why are you shouting so loudly? It's so noisy."

There was disdain and impatience in Shen Ge's tone, as if it was not something terrifying in front of him, but trash that he despised.

However, what was strange was that as Shen Ge's "fear" of the old man in the cave became weaker and weaker, or he had never felt fear in the first place, the face of the old man in the cave became clearer and clearer, and one could even see that it seemed to be an effect achieved through makeup and disguise.

Shen Ge always felt that the appearance hidden behind the face of that "scary old man" looked somewhat familiar, but before he could see clearly, the other party shrank back to the next room.

Shen Ge immediately realized that something was wrong, as if the truth and the answer were gathering in his mind, with only a piece of paper blocking the way. As long as he broke through the paper, he would be able to see the truth!

"Hey?"

"are you still there?"

"You're already here, why don't you leave without a few words?"

Shen Ge crawled under the bed without hesitation and wanted to go through the dog hole to check on the old man, but the person next door was panicked as if a trick had been exposed. He blocked the dog hole with a quilt and laid the bed down, completely blocking the dog hole.

This strange behavior immediately made Shen Ge even more suspicious, but just as he was wondering, there was a loud "bang" suddenly coming from the door, as if someone was hitting the door with a hammer.

Shen Ge then looked towards the door, but he was not tall enough to look through the window, so he followed Sanzai's example, turned the spittoon upside down in front of the door, and stood on it.

Looking out through the window, Shen Ge met one eye.

"…" Literally an eye.

Because there was no one outside the door, there was only a puddle of melted meat sauce, and there were a few eyes in the meat sauce, staring straight at the window.

This was not the first time that Shen Ge had seen these tumor-like "eyes". In front of him was the giant eye that appeared in the sky of Sakura Island, and behind him were the eyes that filled the rooms in the high-rise buildings and spires in the dream world, all exactly the same as this eye.

However, this time Shen Ge was not "timid". He lay down by the door and "looked into" the eyes outside the door, and the strange feeling of looking into the eyes of the old man in the cave appeared again.

The less afraid he was of these strange phenomena, the more "real" these horrifying scenes became, as if they were illusions deliberately created by someone.

Shen Ge couldn't help but guess that he had been undergoing the second phase of Dr. Chen's experiment, and after being injected with the so-called "virus antibodies", the strange images began to appear one after another.

First of all, we should know that Shen Ge came to Rongshan Psychiatric Hospital as an "experimental subject". In other words, he was the object of experimental observation.

At best, it is just a "high-level guinea pig".

Then the so-called "first phase of the experiment" is just to inject various weird experimental substances, even "weird samples" into Shen Ge. When his body can fully accept the weird energy, which is what the system calls "mental power", the second phase of the experiment will begin.

The only difference from the first phase of the experiment is that in the second phase, the "observation" of Dr. Chen and others changed from open to covert, and they even let the staff pretend to be some scary monsters. When Shen Ge was under the influence of psychotropic drugs, he could not distinguish between reality and dreams, thereby stimulating the so-called "key" to the dream world?
If this hypothesis is true, then it can explain why when these terrifying beings face Shen Ge, the less fear Shen Ge has, the more "real" the scenes he sees.

Just when Shen Ge felt that he was about to break through the piece of paper that blocked the truth, the air temperature in the ward suddenly dropped several degrees, and the cold air made him shiver uncontrollably.

Shen Ge opened his mouth and found that he couldn't make a sound. His body became stiff and he couldn't even move a finger.

He used to think that this was caused by fear, but now he was sure that it had a lot to do with the sudden drop in temperature in the ward... It was probably some kind of poisonous gas that affected the mind!
Before Shen Ge could think about it, he felt his consciousness becoming increasingly faint, and then he fell straight backwards, hitting the ground with a thud. His eyes went black and he passed out from the pain.

Not knowing how long he had slept, Shen Ge vaguely heard someone talking next to him. The voice sounded familiar, and it seemed to be Doctor Chen.

Shen Ge felt that various detection instruments were inserted into his body. He tried his best to slow down his consciousness and then used "hypnosis" to keep himself in a "comatose" state.

Doctor Chen and others gathered around the bed, paying attention to Shen Ge's testing equipment and talking in low voices. It seemed that Shen Ge woke up "earlier" this time than before, so he heard some information related to the experiment.

"He was a little abnormal last night. Those idiots almost got him discovered. Replace them and send Team 2."

The voice belonged to Doctor Chen. There was a sense of authority in his tone that made the doctors in white coats feel a little breathless.

Then I heard Dr. Chen's assistant say, "Boss, although this kid had some minor problems, we successfully triggered the paranormal reaction. If we interrupt it now...wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

"Stimulation? Didn't you read the report last night? He almost woke up completely... If the '****3133' sample hadn't been used this time, the experiment would have gotten out of control!" Doctor Chen said angrily.

"This... But we have also found out that he should have a second personality."

"No, there is more than one personality. He should have multiple personalities. Look, when he faced those monsters, he was incredibly calm..."

"Yes, and &"

The assistants seemed to want to fight for it, but Dr. Chen was very determined. He seemed to want to give up the second phase of the experiment and prepare for the third phase instead.

"Interrupt this experiment and prepare for the third phase."

Doctor Chen spoke, and the rest of the people could only keep silent with regret.

Shen Ge didn’t know what the difference was between these three stages, but the only thing that was certain now was that the “infinite loop” situation should have been resolved.

So, Shen Ge gradually slowed down the effect of "hypnosis" and let his body return to normal. As soon as he cancelled the hypnosis, a reaction immediately appeared on the detection instrument.

"Shut up, he's about to wake up." Doctor Chen growled.

For a moment, the only sound in the ward was the "beeping" sound of the instrument.

Shen Ge slowly opened his eyes, pretended to look at Doctor Chen and others with doubt, and said with a painful expression: "Doctor Chen, what's wrong with me?"

Shen Ge was very concerned about what these people called the "second personality" and wondered if they mistook his adult soul that had returned from the "future" as the second personality of his original ten-year-old body.

But since they want to experiment with a "second personality", he will cooperate and pretend to have a split personality. He will take it one step at a time and see how they respond!
