Zhu Yu had a dream that was not long.
In the dream, he came to a world like a fantasy work after a car accident. He was engaged in a promising job as an adventurer with a teammate whose name he couldn't remember. His business scope included tomb digging, dragon scale polishing, and charm. Demons fight against wits and courage, etc.
"Elaborate on the battle of wits and courage with the succubus."
The swishing pen suddenly stopped, leaving a plump ink dot on the mostly blank medical record file.
The attending physician in front of him raised his head seriously.
"Isn't there a more serious doctor in this hospital?"
As a customer, Zhu Yu is deeply concerned about the development of mental health services in this city.
He turned his head and looked at the pair of birds that had just stopped by the window. They were now flying low over the river adjacent to the Third Mental Health Center in Songshui City. At dusk, the sky mixed with indigo and crimson rippled slightly on the water.
The doctor, who was obsessed with the patient's delusional setting, coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment: "Do you still feel like you are in a dream now?"
"I can already distinguish between hallucinations and reality. I was a patient who was admitted here last May, not a time traveler."
He doesn't have any superpowers. He has never met people from the future or aliens. Doctors say he is normal.
"Well, the results of the head CT and EEG examinations are all fine. The guardian has also signed it, and you will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
The other party closed the medical record and said, "Congratulations on your recovery."
"I appreciate your kind words, but it seems that I have to wait until later."
The hallucinations that had been haunting him since the car accident had disappeared, leaving only the sequelae of systemic amnesia.
He still remembers his name, common sense, preferences and most of his past, and can communicate normally. However, he has memory impairment for information included in the category of "acquaintances" such as family members, friends and classmates in real life. Fortunately, he can still recover. possible.
"Sooner or later, you will remember it. Remember to come back tomorrow morning."
After finishing today's conversation, Zhu Yu left the medical duty room and returned to the ward along the long and narrow corridor.
When he first woke up, he also thought about the possibility that his consciousness was indeed sent to a different world by the car accident like in the story, but he just happened to return now.
But he quickly gave up on the idea.
Not only because I watched the video of the attack here, but the key is that this conjecture is difficult to confirm.
He tried using old vinegar from the cafeteria to draw magic spells that existed in the illusionary world. The result was that the real physicists were still lying peacefully in their coffins.
It was almost mistakenly thought that the condition had worsened.
So what if I really traveled through time? Do I have to stay in a mental hospital for the rest of my life to study how to travel back?
Zhu Yu has accepted the current situation and planned future plans:
He is still a teenager and has been hospitalized for a year. Next, he should learn to return to society, and at the same time try to salvage his lost memories, and finally get rid of the influence of hallucinations and live a healthy and happy life.
Miracles and magic didn't exist...unless he saw it with his own eyes.
The moment he turned away from this thought, Zhu Yu slid down the sticky tile wall.
The sudden severe pain was like an egg beater inserted into the skull, stirring the brain into a rotten mass. The world in front of him seemed to be flickering with snowflakes on the screen, and he couldn't even squeeze out the energy to call for help.
The sound of someone approaching and a whisper like a ghost sounded in my ears——
"...Are you trapped here too?"
This hospital is haunted. Listening to the lines, it’s just an earthbound spirit!
Is it too late to take back the wish just now and reconcile? Very urgent.
"My face, my face looks so bad!"
After the snowflakes gradually disappear, the first thing you see is the dark upper of the round-toe shoes.
Then, an external force gently adjusted the position of his head.
Then the feet wrapped in white socks and a pair of well-proportioned and tight calves came into view, and the fair skin was dyed warm by the rays of the setting sun.
A feeling of warmth enveloped the palm of his hand, and the salted fish on the ground was pulled up semi-forced by an external force, and the blurry virtual image gradually turned into a clear figure.
Wearing a red hoodie on top of a white sleeveless vest, the dark hospital corridor seemed a little brighter.
The "Earthbound Spirit" let go of his hand in a somewhat helpless manner, and his long, silky hair, which was combed into a side ponytail, slipped from his right shoulder and flowed to his plump chest due to the movement of leaning over just now.
The physical pain suddenly subsided, but that delicate and familiar face was like an air-dropped nuclear bomb, blowing Zhu Yu's spiritual world, which had been repaired and rebuilt after a year, back to the Stone Age.
In a nutshell——
The teammate whose name I forgot in the hallucination came to reality!
"you--"
"sorry!"
The girl in the corridor interrupted him nervously, "The guard is chasing me, let's run away first!"
guard?
An angry roar suddenly exploded at the end of the corridor like an air raid siren.
"You're from Room 402! You ran out blindly again!"
Like a demon descending from the sky, he is really the Tai Sui God on earth.
Zhu Yu turned around and saw a violent female nurse who seemed to be running towards them at a sprint.
"Run!"
The girl she met by chance turned around and ran away. This awesome Jax... no, the awesome Mundo caught up with her from behind, put his hands under his armpits and lifted her up.
"Humph, want to escape?"
Why, she came to this world through the Energy City?
Due to the previous headache, Zhu Yu's brain circuit had fallen into a psychedelic state like an investigator looking directly at an ancient god.
"Hey, Xiao Liu, take care of the patient. I have just recovered, so don't bring him back."
It wasn't until the doctor who heard the noise outside yelled at them that his rationality returned.
As we all know, there is only one kind of patient in this hospital.
The girl was struggling like a cat being lifted up: "So you must have recognized the wrong person! I can leave on my own, let me go!"
The female nurse remained vigilant and temporarily released the shackles and put the prisoner down. Zhu Yu looked at the girl who was arranging her clothes through her.
He gradually had a premonition that things were developing in a strange way.
"Although I don't know why we met here, I will rescue you too."
After regaining her freedom, the girl in Room 402 pursed her thin lips into a straight line, held the cuffs of her hoodie and waved at him, turning around in an attempt to leave a slender and handsome back.
This scene of tearful farewell and passionate farewell takes up a whole page in the comic, but the nurse ruthlessly grabbed her by the back of the collar and brought the style back to a comedy: "The ward is not over there."
"oh……"
The girl who was once again grabbed by the back of Destiny's neck lowered her head and cast a sad look at Zhu Yu. The resolute expression just now was shattered to the ground.
"If it fails, please think of a solution."
"You promised to rescue us all not long ago?"
This girl's crotch index has been rising ever since they met, and now she's even starting to cry.
"I've been thinking hard about my plan! Aren't you always laughing at me for being stupid? Then use your own brain!"
The complaining tone is also very similar to that of the companion in the hallucination.
But unfortunately, without any planning, he can be discharged from the hospital in a dignified manner tomorrow.
There is already a sadly thick barrier between us!
The two medical staff ignored their conversation and simply exchanged a few words like their respective guardians. Then the girl Zhu Yu met on the eve of discharge was half-grabbed by the wrist and escorted to the direction of the elevator dejectedly.
After watching the two disappear at the end of the corridor, he silently turned to look at the doctor.
"For the sake of your patient's mental health, could you please explain this?"
The other party looked over with sympathy: "That girl was admitted to the hospital at about the same time as you. Her surname seems to be Xia? I used to see you guys chatting happily when we were having fun together. It turns out we were online."
"...I just had a sudden headache. Do I need to check again?"
Not only did he have a headache, but he was also tired.
A former teammate turned into a patient. Unexpectedly, he was involved in a serious illness.
After dinner and a physical review, and after a long day of tossing, Zhu Yu returned to his ward and threw his tired body prone on the bed.
I was obviously mentally prepared for everything, so why did I meet her at this time?
According to the doctor, he may have projected the image of the girl and the content of their chat into hallucinations.
Zhu Yu turned off the light and went to sleep, spreading his palms towards the ceiling.
When he first woke up, he would try to touch the supernatural power that existed in the world of hallucinations every night, which he translated into magic.
However, I recently made up my mind to stop such actions that might cause misunderstandings and delay my discharge.
Even if they have diseased brain circuits, it can be considered a kind of fate to be able to meet each other, and it can be treated as a final commemorative ceremony.
Or maybe it was used as an excuse to confirm for the last time whether that extremely realistic experience was actually a dream——
Then, a flicker of light literally lit up in the darkness.
