Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

Chapter 4 Monster? Who? Me?

Can Theresa handle these things...uh, Bronya maintained a objective attitude towards this. She still had to find out more about it. In addition, she had to explain the situation to everyone and let Xiao Shi come over to see what condition Li Mo was in.

The doctor pulled out a pile of documents and handed Bronya a black pen. Pointing at the contents, he said, "Sign below after reading. After signing, someone will send him to a mental hospital for observation. Don't worry, this is a regular hospital. The care for mental patients is the most comprehensive in the Far East. We have dedicated staff to record the patient's every move. If the patient shows any abnormality, we will notify you immediately."

Bronya took a quick look and found nothing wrong, then signed her name - Bronya Zajicek.

Before leaving, he looked back at Li Mo in the emergency room.

She always has an indescribable feeling.

"I hope it's just because you're sick."

"If you're not sick, then it's most likely us who are sick."

After saying that, Bronya turned and left.

Half a day passed, and Li Mo slowly opened his eyes. He was surrounded by a soft and slightly pale light, and the air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant.

I woke up and found myself sleeping on a big soft bed. I raised my head and looked upwards. The white ceiling was bare and there was a noisy voice outside.

"Um...where is this place?"

"Are you awake?" A gentle voice broke the silence in the room. Li Mo looked in the direction of the voice and saw an employee in a white coat standing by his bed with a smile, his eyes full of care and expectation.

"Is this a hospital?" Li Mo's voice was hoarse and weak.

"This is a mental health rehabilitation center. Of course, there's a more direct way to put it, and I think Mr. Li should understand." The employee patiently explained in a calm and warm tone, "Don't worry, you're safe now. Before that, could you tell me where this place is?"

Li Mo didn't hesitate at all and blurted out four words: "Mental hospital."

The employee nodded with satisfaction and recorded in the file in his hand - memory is normal.

Just after finishing writing, Li Mo looked around and muttered, "This place... I seem to have been here before. No, the construction was not so new back then... But the layout is exactly the same... It feels so familiar."

"By the way, is there only one room on each floor? This building has five floors."

Li Mo suddenly asked.

The employee silently crossed out the word "normal memory" that he had just written and wrote next to it - normal memory.

"Have you ever been to a mental hospital before? Mr. Li, this is your first time at the Far East First People's Hospital."

"That's not right, don't lie to me. There's a First People's Hospital in the Far East? Isn't that only in Shenzhou?"

The employee smiled and recorded it in the file - normal cognition.

"But then again, there's already a First People's Hospital in Los Angeles. If Far East and Shenzhou come together, or if Far East's leaders get inspired and build a First People's Hospital, it's not impossible..."

The smile on the employee's face suddenly stopped. He crossed out the word "normal cognition" he had just written and wrote "cognitive confusion" next to it.

Li Mo lifted the pure white bed sheet, opened the door and walked outside.

He even closed his eyes and moved on his body's instincts without any stumbling or bumping.

The employees following behind were very surprised, observing and taking notes.

He has observed many newly arrived mental patients, and a large proportion of them were forced into the observation stage because of the serious asymmetry between their thoughts and reality.

Cases like Li Mo's are rare.

It was as if his imagination was actually reflected in reality.

Li Mo closed his eyes, recalling the forgotten memories, and could only get a vague feeling.

Those suppressed emotions and unspeakable pain were like a heavy rock pressing on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

I have clearly returned to a safe place, but my body is always resisting something.

Just when he was confused, a newspaper suddenly flew towards Li Mo's face.

Li Mo opened his eyes and took down the newspaper with his left hand.

Upon seeing this, the staff member immediately came forward to explain, "Mobile phones are not allowed in the mental hospital. It's a rule. The only way to stay informed about the outside world here is through the newspapers provided by the hospital."

Li Mo casually replied, "I understand. After all, these are sensitive matters that could easily lead to misunderstandings if exposed. However..."

"Why is my name on this newspaper?"

Li Mo pointed to the blood-red handwriting on the newspaper. It was crooked and had two big characters for "Shenzhou" - Li Mo.

"Impossible?" The employee took a look, took out his mobile phone from his pocket to scan it, and translated it into Shenzhou language, it turned out to be Li Mo's name.

A prank? But who would do such a thing?

It's impossible for the hospital. After all, from the moment Li Mo was admitted, no one knew that he would be admitted to a mental hospital.

It was even more impossible for Li Mo himself. He was taken care of from the time he fell into a coma to the time he woke up. There was no chance for him to play a prank without telling anyone after he woke up.

Other mentally ill patients? Impossible. Someone in the hospital might have guessed that Li Mo would be admitted and written it in advance.

But there is absolutely no way that other mentally ill patients would know that a new person would join their big family today, let alone know the precise name.

Even if some of these mentally ill patients are insiders arranged by the hospital, they are used to observe their mental conditions at all times and respond to emergencies.

The employee quickened his pace, walked up to Li Mo, and asked softly, "Would you like some water?"

Li Mo was about to nod but stopped in time. After a moment of hesitation, he replied, "Do you have any Coke? Icy, preferably."

"Yes, we do. Wait here for a moment. I'll get it for you."

The employee left quickly without asking why.

Li Mo didn't know why he drank Coke. Maybe it was his preference before he lost his memory.

Not long after, the employee handed Li Mo a bottle of ice cola.

"Don't worry, drink it. It's free. Your fiancée will cover all your expenses in the mental hospital."

The employee said casually.

Li Mo seemed easy to communicate with, at least it was easy to communicate when his mental illness was not in full swing.

But after hearing what the employee said, Li Mo showed a confused expression: "Fiancée? Who?"

"That's the girl with long gray hair who brought you to the hospital. Don't you know her?"

"...I know him, it's okay."

Bronya must have her reasons for saying that, so it's better not to expose her.

Li Mo unscrewed the bottle cap and drank the ice cola. The cool feeling stimulated his throat and made him feel extremely comfortable.

However, a frightened voice appeared nearby——

“You…what are you doing?!”

"I'm drinking..."

Li Mo subconsciously turned his head towards the source of the sound, but suddenly felt a strange sensation in his throat.

Nausea and vomiting.

The cold cola turned hot and bitter.

The surrounding area was filled with soldiers who came to support him, looking at him in astonishment.

Li Mo lowered his head stiffly and found that what he was holding in his hand was no longer an ice cola, but the corpse of a small Honkai beast.

There was an obvious wound on the neck of the corpse, and dark red blood was constantly flowing out of it.

Am I...drinking the blood of a beast?

Li Mo immediately dropped the Honkai Beast in his hand, turned around and explained to everyone: "I thought it was Coke! I didn't drink blood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers came forward and put a movement restriction device on Li Mo, then held Li Mo's head down and marched into the base.

"Let the medical department decide whether this is the case or not. Relax, you're just too tired and that's why you're hallucinating."

Li Mo was taken back to the base for examination.

The examination results showed no problems, but Li Mo was still looked at strangely.

After asking, I found my room.

At night, Li Mo tried to return to the world where Bronya existed, but he failed to do so.

No matter how sober he tried or how much he hurt himself, he couldn't go back.

It was as if this was the real world, and the world where Bronya lived was just a beautiful delusion.

"Live."

Li Mo clenched his fists and spoke to himself in a firm tone.

Whether in that peaceful world or this turbulent world, staying alive is his primary goal.

He must survive, no matter the cost...

Must survive...

Only in this way can...

……

"What can you do?"

Li Mo stood there, his mind stuck in a dead end. It seemed like he had been spending too much time in a daze recently.

It freezes all the time, like the game is offline.

Li Mo shook his head, covered himself with the quilt and took a look at tomorrow's tasks.

Through information from various channels on my phone, I roughly understood that this world is frequently plagued by natural disasters called "collapse."

Natural disasters are one of the manifestations.

In addition, there are creatures such as Honkai Beasts and Death Soldiers, as well as... Herrschers.

The dead soldiers are humans whose minds have been eroded by the Honkai energy. The Honkai beasts are the beasts that he had seen before. A powerful Honkai beast can even destroy a city alone. It is definitely not an existence that can be defeated by individual strength.

Of course, there are also weak types of Honkai beasts, such as the Assault-level Honkai beast he is holding in his hand today.

The most special one is the Herrscher, who possesses human wisdom but has an innate malice towards humans.

Each Herrscher possesses special powers and is extremely dangerous.

Li Mo stared at the four bold red words "Extremely Dangerous" and muttered, "If you see a Herrscher, just run away. Survival is the most important thing. But... once the Herrscher appears, even running away seems to become a luxury. I can only pray that I don't encounter the Herrscher tomorrow."

Li Mo turned off his phone, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Perhaps a good night's sleep would allow him to return to Bronya's world. Even if not, he could still gather his strength to face the hidden dangers of tomorrow's mission.

Half a day later——

Faced with the overwhelming tide of destructive beasts, even those equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment could only become a speck of dust crushed in the tide of beasts.

The screams and wails rang in my ears for a long time, and then... it was my turn.

"I can't die, I can't die here!"

Li Mo raised his gun and fired continuously at the advancing tide of Honkai beasts.

But all the bullets were used up, but no one died.

I can't even delay for a second.

The tide of collapsed beasts was approaching, and their raised giant feet cast a deep shadow, blocking the dawn of the sky.

Li Mo gritted his teeth, dropped his weapon, and supported himself with his hands when the Honkai Beast fell. His left hand fingers penetrated the silicon-based armor that even bullets could not break.

"You guys go to hell!"

He used all his strength to grab the Honkai beast and used it as a shield to sweep across.

Suddenly, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the corpses of the collapsed beasts appeared one after another.

This action left Li Mo's teammates stunned.

"What is he...doing?"

"This guy... can lift the Honkai Emperor. Is he still human?"

"This person seems to be the alien who drank the blood of the Honkai Beast yesterday."

"Does drinking the blood of a Houkai beast have this effect? Why did the previous experimental results show that it only increased Houkai energy erosion and had no benefits for the body?"
