This actor is full of tricks.

"you……"

"Long time no see? Didn't we just see each other a couple of days ago?"

Hearing Dong Jian's words, Zhao Yin glanced at Lin Jue, then at Dong Jian, and said, "Wait, wait, are you two really that close?"

He recalled that Lin Jue had said before that he and Dong Jian were good buddies, but he didn't seem to know Dong Jian very well.

Unless the Dong Jian that Lin Jue mentioned isn't the Director Dong from this hospital, but rather...

"Are you Director Dong from the real world?"

Zhao Yin reacted instantly. He was a clever and cunning man, and realized that the Dong Jian in front of him was not the Dong Jian he knew.

"Oh?" Dong Jian exclaimed softly, "Dr. Zhao, you actually know these things."

“I told him,” Lin Jue finally spoke, smiling. “It has indeed been a long time. Dong Jian in this world is a completely different person from you. He is extremely wary of me. I think you must have been in this world for several days now.”

Lin Jue had been guessing since Dong Jian's attitude towards him changed, and now it seems that the person in charge has indeed been replaced.

"Number 1 let me in and told me to show you the way." Dong Jian sat down on the edge of the bed as if they were old friends, and looked around with some emotion: "It's been a long time since I've been back here. At this time, there has been no riot in the hospital. Everything is so familiar yet strange. But in a couple of days, this place will become a living hell."

In a couple of days?
Is the riots really just around the corner?
Lin Jue was silent for a moment: "Number 1 sent you? Where is he now?"

“He’s on his way here. Perhaps you’ll see him once you leave this world,” Dong Jian replied.

"How do I get out of this world? What exactly happened in reality?" Lin Jue asked, this was a question he had been pondering. He didn't know why he had suddenly come to this scripted world, nor did he know what the connection was between this scripted world and reality.

Dong Jian didn't rush to answer, but glanced at Zhao Yin beside him. Zhao Yin immediately understood and prepared to temporarily evade the question, but Lin Jue stopped him: "Dr. Zhao, you're just being evasive. Just say what you have to say."

Zhao Yin was stunned, and the yellow fluid on his body stopped flowing. He seemed to understand now why he was willing to work for Lin Jue. Perhaps it was because of the other party's sincerity.

Although he didn't say a word of truth, his actions showed that the other party never treated him as an outsider, and didn't even let him avoid such a very private conversation.

“Okay.” Dong Jian pondered for a moment and said, “Actually, I’m not too sure either, because when I entered the inner world, I was sent here by Number 1’s ability, but I can roughly guess some of the answers.”

"You've been investigating this hospital for so long, you should know that you and Qin Lang both possess half of the God of the Underworld's consciousness, right?"

“I understand that, but I don’t know what my underworld consciousness is doing; it hasn’t made a sound for a long time.” Lin Jue nodded.

"That's right. This false world was constructed by Qin Lang's half of the Underworld God consciousness. He wants you to be unable to distinguish between illusion and reality. When you are completely immersed in this false world, that is when you merge with Qin Lang's Underworld God consciousness. He wants to devour you and become a completely new Underworld God."

"And your Underworld God consciousness must be resisting that fusion, which is why it hasn't reappeared. Perhaps you've also noticed that the timeline of this world is problematic. Sometimes it's a normal hospital, and sometimes it's a hospital after a riot. This is actually the result of the two Underworld God consciousnesses resisting each other." As Dong Jian spoke, Lin Jue seemed to realize something and pondered, "In the normal timeline, I do have a feeling of gradually forgetting reality, but in the riot timeline, I don't have that feeling. In other words, the normal timeline comes from Qin Lang's Underworld God consciousness, while the riot timeline is my Underworld God consciousness constantly reminding me not to forget what happened in reality?"

No wonder Lin Jue always managed to escape danger despite the perilous timeline; it wasn't just good luck, but rather the secret help of the Underworld God's consciousness.

No wonder that guy never showed up again; it turns out he was fighting against Qin Lang's Netherworld consciousness.

No wonder the normal timeline is sometimes very long, and the desolate timeline is also very long. It must be that whichever of the two underworld consciousnesses has the upper hand, the timeline of that person is longer.

“That’s most likely the case. And you know that the supernatural was born from the God of the Underworld. Perhaps the supernatural things you found in the timeline of the riots were actually the God of the Underworld’s help to keep you alive in this world.” At this point, Dong Jian glanced at Zhao Yin: “They will be born because of this world, and they will also die because of this world. When you leave this world, everything will collapse, and they will disappear with it.”

Zhao Yin had similar thoughts when Lin Jue told him about the truth of this world. Now that Dong Jian has said it, it confirms that Zhao Yin and his group will perish as the world collapses.

Zhao Yin sighed deeply and forced a smile. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

I cannot accept, yet I must accept, my impending demise.

"Is there any way to get them out of here? You've been following Number 1 for so long, you should have a way, right?" Lin Jue didn't want to see Zhao Yin and the others disappear like this. Although they hadn't known each other for long, they were genuinely helpful friends to him.

Timid Xiao Qiu and cold-faced but warm-hearted Wu Pi are his friends.

Zhao Yin gave Lin Jue a deep look, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes. To be honest, Lin Jue's personal charm was indeed very strong.

“Yes, there is.” Dong Jian nodded: “The premise is that you become the God of the Underworld. The supernatural is born from the God of the Underworld. Once you become the God of the Underworld, you can recreate them.”

“That makes sense.” Lin Jue lowered his eyelids. He knew this was something he couldn’t escape. When the consciousness of the God of the Underworld appeared in his body, this was his destiny.

To be precise, this is his and Qin Lang's destiny: either become the new God of the Underworld, or become nourishment for each other.

This is inescapable. When he leaves this world, everything will come to its final conclusion, and the winner and loser will naturally be revealed.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Jue composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Then how should I get out?"

"Think about it, where are the timeline divisions?" Dong Jian said with a meaningful smile.

Lin Jue was taken aback: "Ninth floor, patients are rioting!"

“That’s right. I told you the purpose of the Ninth Floor is to incite a riot, just like Number One did back then, to make everything develop along a predetermined path.” Dong Jian stood up: “Let’s go, call all your helpers, I’ll clear the way for you.” (End of Chapter)
