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

"Owner?"

"Owner!"

"Shen Ge!"

"Captain Shen!"

"..."

Shen Ge felt many familiar voices ringing in his ears. At this moment, he felt like he was in the center of the ocean, floating up and down with the waves.

Soon a suffocating feeling of drowning came over him. Shen Ge wanted to grab something to support his body, but he felt that his body had already sunk into the sea, and he subconsciously opened his hands and flapped his wings.

Gulu.

Gulu.

Shen Ge could no longer tell whether it was the sound of sea water pouring into his mouth or the terrifying and weird sound it usually made.

At the same time, his mind flashed through familiar scenes like a revolving lantern before death. There were memories of Shen Ge's childhood, memories of happy life with his parents, memories of being sent to Rongshan Mental Hospital and undergoing various research, and memories of being controlled by Dr. Chen, who absorbed the conscious memories "retrieved" after being sent to various fragmented worlds, resulting in personality split.

In order to preserve the main personality, the secondary personalities controlled Shen Ge to escape from Rongshan Mental Hospital after the accident and modified his memories of that period.

As the secondary personalities dissipated, Shen Ge gradually came to believe that there was something wrong with his "mentality", which caused him to have fits from time to time after he started working, giving people the feeling that he was occasionally crazy.

Afterwards, Shen Ge went to Cheng Shengnan's company. With the emergence of the special "silent" incident, Shen Ge was involved in strange events and came into contact with the Special Policy Department.

Familiar scenes appeared in front of Shen Ge's eyes, especially the part about Rongshan Mental Hospital. It turned out that he did not have a wrong memory, but that the memory was modified by the disappeared secondary personalities.

Those times when I entered the dream world and my experiences in Rongshan Mental Hospital were not hallucinations, but "conscious experiences" from the secondary personalities.

To put it simply, Dr. Chen used the special abilities of the original strange cells to peel off Shen Ge's flesh and blood and sent them to other fragmented worlds. Through Shen Ge's observation of the [Log], these existences equivalent to secondary personality consciousness bodies "read" Shen Ge's experiences in this world line.

This is equivalent to Shen Ge opening countless small clones of his "consciousness body" and then going to different worlds to watch a movie.

That’s right, those experiences were not even Shen Ge’s own, nor were they experienced by his “secondary personality”. They were just “movie scenes” watched by the conscious “secondary personality”.

No matter what, Shen Ge at least pieced together his previous fragmented memories through these "reel doors".

But it's also funny to say that the secondary personalities created by other people are either causing trouble or thinking about how to replace the main personality.

However, the secondary personality created by Shen Ge after suffering torture was only thinking about how to make the main personality have a better life in the future. He was willing to spend himself to modify the tragic memory of the main personality, just to let him abandon the past and start a new life.

"Owner!"

"Shen Ge!"

"Captain Shen!"

"..."

"Hey!"

"Wake up, you bastard."

"We went through so much trouble to get you out of the devil's den. We didn't do that to let you sleep. You should wake up. We burned our lives to get hope."

In a daze, Shen Ge heard those familiar voices calling him again, and this time even his own voice was mixed in with the voices.

The scene goes back to when he escaped from Rongshan Mental Hospital and walked in the mountains with his tired body covered with scars. Those "sub-personalities" burned the traces of their own existence and modified his memories.

Recalling the inhuman tortures he had suffered in Rongshan Mental Hospital, cutting off skin, flesh and extracting bone marrow were just child's play, feeding him parasitic monsters was just commonplace, and even more horrifying was transplanting those weird organs into him in an attempt to transform Shen Ge into a monster.

However, Shen Ge had already been parasitized by the "system", that is, the original strange cells, so how could other strange cells enter his body?

In the eyes of the researchers at Rongshan Psychiatric Hospital, it was a perfectly integrated strange organ, but in fact it was swallowed by the system shortly after entering the body and turned into energy to repair Shen Ge's injuries.

This is also the reason why Shen Ge’s physical fitness was not good in the early days. He even gasped for breath after running a few steps, giving people the impression that he was sick and listless.

Because most of the body's energy was absorbed by the system, and the system's evaluation of Shen Ge's body stripped away the weird data, which made his initially detected attributes not even as good as the average level of ordinary people.

It is painful to recall the tragic memories. Shen Ge feels very complicated when he sees the secondary personalities igniting themselves in order to fight for their future.

If he could return to "reality" alive this time, he would definitely use the intelligence he found in Xinhai City to catch the Monster Association and Dr. Chen, skin them alive, and torture them to death!

"Hey, look at Captain Shen gritting his teeth. Is he about to wake up?" At this time, Shen Ge heard a familiar voice.

Wang Han?

"Wang Han, shut up. This is a hospital. Keep your loud voice down." Tu Doubi's voice rang out.

Yang Yuxin said, "If you two want to quarrel, go outside and quarrel. Captain Shen is taking a break. If you continue to quarrel, I will send both of you to Australia to carry out the mission."

Wang Han muttered, "According to Captain Shen, for us he was gone for three years, but he was actually trapped in the strange space for only a few days. Being trapped in a strange space like this, there is definitely no way to rest. It is likely that he is tired after investigating day and night for a few days. He will be fine after sleeping for a while. Besides, didn't the doctor say that Captain Shen's body is fine, and he is as well as a newborn baby... mmm."

Before Wang Han could finish his rant, Tu Dou Pi covered his mouth and dragged him out of the ward, calling him stupid as he walked away.

"Even if the doctor says there's nothing serious, he's been sleeping for almost a month. Besides, look at Director Cheng, he's staying in the ward despite being sick. Aren't you afraid that Captain Shen will wake up and beat you up? Just keep talking nonsense." Tu Dou Bi cursed.

Wang Han said with a wronged look on his face: "Isn't it just to divert everyone's attention and make everyone stop worrying? Captain Shen would be a stone monkey in the Tang Dynasty, with extraordinary abilities, how could he easily get into trouble? What's more, the doctor said that he's fine, and you don't even believe the doctor?"

Shen Ge felt that after Wang Han was dragged out of the ward by Tu Dou Pi, there were still many people left in the room. Deng Yuqi was whispering something to Cheng Shengnan, Lin Yin and Feng Chengxiu were discussing where to take him to dinner after he woke up, and Fang Mingyue and Yuner seemed to be discussing what kind of strange space could trap him...

So... I'm back to "reality"?
Shen Ge clearly remembered that in order to send the Ark back, he had exhausted all of his dream power, and even the red mist's strange energy had been drained. So where did he get the power to initiate the teleportation?
wrong.

At the moment when his consciousness faded, Shen Ge clearly saw a white light burst out from his decomposed body and enveloped him, and then he fell into a coma. Where did that white light come from?

The system automatically issued an alert at the critical moment, activated the transmission device, and sent him back to "reality"?
But without the power of dreams, can the system activate teleportation?
Shen Ge couldn't figure it out. His mind was a mess with all kinds of memories mixed together. He felt like he was going crazy from the torture of the chaotic memories.

But as he regained consciousness, Shen Ge gradually felt his body. He tried to move his fingers, but found that his hands were held by a pair of warm hands.

What came into view was a familiar profile. Cheng Shengnan was leaning sideways and whispering about work with Deng Yuqi beside him.

As if he felt something different in his hand, Cheng Shengnan turned around and called out in surprise, "Shen Ge, are you awake?"

Shen Ge opened his mouth, but felt his throat was very dry and he couldn't make a sound. His whole body seemed to be crushed and pieced together.

As Shen Ge woke up, the whole ward was in chaos. Some people were calling for a doctor, some were running to inquire about the situation, and some were checking on Shen Ge's condition. The bed was completely filled with people.

It was half an hour later when the doctor finished the preliminary examination. If Shen Ge hadn't signaled them to wait, he would probably have been pushed away for a detailed examination.

"Student Xiaoqi." Shen Ge struggled to utter these four words with his hoarse voice.

At this time, Cheng Shengnan said: "Xiao Qi and the Red Mist Armor are still in the B4 area laboratory. Li Xiang's team should still be dealing with the damage. A month ago, you suddenly appeared in the experimental area, and the Red Mist Armor was severely damaged. After Xiao Qi contacted us, he sent you for treatment, and the Red Mist Armor was taken away by Li Xiang. Do you need me to contact Li Xiang?"

damage?

Shen Ge's heart sank. The strength of the Red Mist Armor was comparable to that of a fifth-level monster. After absorbing the "Endless" characteristic, it could basically complete self-repair.

But when sending the Ark into the rift to close the channel, Shen Ge's dream power and paranormal energy had been exhausted, and the attacks of the "Earth" black fog paranormal energy were almost all borne by the red fog armor.

No matter how powerful the Red Mist Armor is, it is still not enough to face the "Earth".

Shen Ge lost consciousness first. If he wanted to know what happened, he could only find Xiao Qi.

Seeing Shen Ge nod, Fang Mingyue beside him immediately said: "I will contact Minister Li."

Today was the second team's patrol day, and since there were no strange warnings in the city, everyone decided to go to the inpatient department to visit Shen Ge.

Now that Shen Ge has woken up, and Cheng Shengnan and others are with him, Lin Yin and the others tactfully leave.

While Shen Ge was listening to Cheng Shengnan talking about what happened in the "reality" during the three years that he was "missing", he tried to wake up the system to check on his physical condition.

Unexpectedly, after calling out several times in my heart, there was no response from the system.

You should know that in the past, when the system absorbed strange cells, the longest time it would be "down" during upgrades was only a few days, and other functions could still be used normally.

But now, not only is there no response to the call system, all system-related commands are also unresponsive, and even its own properties cannot be seen.

Shen Ge recalled the magical state his body entered when he was resisting the erosion of the strange energy black fog, as if it was being decomposed and then quickly reassembled.

If it weren't for his strong will, he would have fainted from the horrible pain and would not have been able to send the Ark back into the rift.

In fact, there is another way to test whether the system is still on the body or whether it is just in a "downtime" state, which is for Shen Ge to test his physical strength.

After the system completed the sixth-order alienation, Shen Ge's physical strength was more than four times higher than that of ordinary people. His strength came from the combination of human cells and the strange cells of the ancestor. Therefore, as long as he tested his physical strength, he would know whether the system still existed.

But now Shen Ge even has difficulty moving his fingers, and it takes him a long time to utter a single word, so it is really not possible to conduct a test.

But soon Fang Mingyue and Li Xiang came to the ward. Fang Mingyue spread out her hands, and a blood spider jumped off from her palm and attached itself to Shen Ge's wrist, forming a black wristband.

"Master, long time no see."

While Xiao Qi was talking, he began to separate the little spiders and quickly attached them, and did a preliminary examination of Shen Ge's body.

"Master, your physical condition has improved a lot since that battle. At that time, I detected that you were being attacked by the power of dreams and were decomposing. I could only try to repair your body with the red mist, but the black mist of weird energy in the sky was too strong and the red mist armor was blown to pieces. Just as we were about to be swallowed by the black mist of weird energy, you seemed to have successfully activated the transmission. As a white light enveloped us, we successfully returned to the base."

"You were already in a deep coma at that time. I could only contact the people at the base to send you to the medical department for treatment."

Classmate Xiao Qi briefly recounted what happened after Shen Ge fell into a coma. After listening, Shen Ge fell into deep thought.

In Xiaoqi's opinion, it was he who finally activated the transmission.

But Shen Ge remembered very clearly that at that time his strange energy had been drained and his dream power had also been exhausted, making it impossible to activate the teleportation.

In that case, the most likely scenario is that the system self-warned and initiated the transmission, which can also explain why the system is now "down".

Shen Ge raised his hand with great effort and looked at his palm. His skin was covered with fine cracks, as if it would break at any time.

Although overdrawing his paranormal energy and consuming a large amount of dream power allowed him to gain extremely powerful strength in a short period of time, it also put a great burden on his body. He could even feel that every cell in his body was wailing, as if it would collapse at any time.

If it weren't for the perfect fusion of the body and the system, that is, the strange cells of the ancestor, and the human body to bear that terrifying power, I'm afraid he would have ended up like Shen Lin.

"Student Xiao Qi, my, body...strength, strange cells." Shen Ge just said a few simple words, and Student Xiao Qi immediately understood and conducted an in-depth examination of Shen Ge's body.

"Master, your body strength has slightly weakened, but it's not because you were seriously injured, or because the strange cells of the ancestor were killed by the strange black fog in that battle. Instead, your body seems to have been reorganized. It seems to be a good thing at the moment... Well, for example, have you read a cultivation novel, Master?"

"There is a realm called 'foundation building', which usually cleanses the tendons and marrow, removes impurities from the body, and makes the body purer."

"According to my calculations, dream power is the source of world power. Master, you released a large amount of dream power through your body in a short period of time. At the same time, your body also appeared to be in a state of 'decomposition' during that period, although this process was very short."

"So I guess, Master, you are also experiencing a similar situation. The strange cells of the ancestor have been cleansed by the power of dreams and eliminated the impurities in your body."

“After all… Master, in your current state, besides being a little weak, your skin is as soft and smooth as a baby’s, and even the mistress’s skin is a little weaker.”

Shen Ge: ...It's so fucking soft and smooth like a baby's.
