The nurses on the night shift passed by the door talking in low voices, their voices gradually fading away.
In the returning silence, a flash of blue light left a swaying afterimage.
Zhu Yu felt that his current expression should be similar to that of Neo who took the red pill.
Now there are only three possibilities.
1. He is still crazy. The previous scene showed that his eyes were heavily karmic.
2. The experience of different worlds and time travel is real.
3. In fact, Zhu Yu and Li Wang both have the same mind. This wave is about refining falsehood into reality. I have become the Master!
Zhu Yu crossed out the third option and finally calmed down his chaotic and exciting thoughts.
My current consciousness should be awake, completely different from when I was immersed in hallucinations.
He did witness the fluctuation of magic power.
According to past experiments, such fantasy factors should not exist in the real world, so what caused the exception just now?
Repeat the process just now, but this time nothing happens.
After combing through the differences between today and usual, I am afraid that the only ones were a severe headache and contact with a girl who was also suspected to have returned from another world.
No, if the possibility of hallucination is denied, it is not a suspicion. She is probably the companion who traveled together.
In this case, whether he wanted to continue to verify the authenticity of the time-travel journey or out of humane and ethical considerations, he had to find a way to get her out of the mental hospital.
On the last night I spent in the ward, Zhu Yu stayed up all night.
The next morning, he didn't even eat the breakfast provided by the hospital every day. After stuffing the few personal clothes and a few books into his backpack in the ward, he walked into the duty room again.
Although he already knew the girl's ward number yesterday, he definitely couldn't go to the female ward area at this time. At least he had to get out of the hospital first.
Today, the "guardian" who has not visited him since his recovery will come to take him out of the hospital. Zhu Yu is still hesitating about how to face him better.
"Avoid deliberately bringing up things that the patient has forgotten, which may aggravate the condition. Create a good environment and let nature take its own course. It is best to treat each other in the same way as before..."
In the place that had belonged to him yesterday sat a strange visitor, listening to medical advice.
Because his back was facing the door, the first thing Zhu Yu saw was his long black hair. The wind blew through the open window and swayed slightly, reminding him of flowing brown sugar syrup.
The navy blue school uniform jacket revealed the identity of the other high school student. The school badge exposed between a few strands of hair on the back should belong to the High School Affiliated to Songshui Normal University according to his memory.
She straightened her slender waist upright and placed her hands neatly on her knees, looking like a top student; but in contrast to this appearance were the white canvas shoes hidden under the table that scratched the ground impatiently. .
A layer of sweat appeared on the white back of her neck, indicating that she probably walked all the way here after getting off the subway station nearby.
Zhu Yu withdrew his gaze and took advantage of the interruption in their conversation to ask, "Should I wait here for a while?"
It seemed that the person who came to pick him up hadn't arrived yet.
"No, we can leave right away."
Unexpectedly, the girl turned her head slightly and answered.
The tone of voice is the same as the profile, stern but beautiful.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
There was something slightly familiar about that face, which made him wonder if it was someone he knew before he got sick.
"Someone who's here to pick you up from the hospital."
His guardian...is a female high school student?
"He has a temporary job, so I came to pick you up."
The girl seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and stood up facing him.
Viewed from the front, the opponent was a head shorter than him. He had a tense expression on his face and crossed his arms, puffing out his small chest.
Rather than picking people up from the hospital, it's more like visiting people to collect debts.
"Can I tell you about our relationship?"
"Do you have to know this before you come with me? There are obviously doctors who can vouch for it."
"After all, I'm not a casual person."
She clicked her tongue loudly, which somewhat destroyed the image of a top student that Zhu Yu had built up in his mind.
Then, the bombshell was dropped at this moment.
"I'm your girlfriend."
"……What did you say?"
Zhu Yu frowned and couldn't help but want to protect the doctor in front of him.
"What was that reaction? Has his head actually not healed yet?"
She looked away from him contemptuously, completely unaware of the social bombshell she had just transformed into.
The doctor, who was watching the scene in front of him with great interest, just said: "I don't know if she is your little girlfriend, but your father did tell me that if something happens that day, he will ask her to pick you up."
According to the mental health regulations of the province to which Songshui City belongs, mental patients need to be discharged from the hospital by their guardians. However, generally speaking, no one is so big-hearted as to leave the former patient to a girl of this age after signing the contract. Pick up and drop off.
"Is it really possible to find a lover in high school who will come to pick up his boyfriend from the hospital a year after his brain breaks?"
Which unfinished science fiction masterpiece does this plot belong to?
"If you continue to linger and say nonsense, the best girlfriend you can find in the world will soon become your ex-girlfriend."
The girl who called herself her lover sighed.
No matter who she was, the conversation that just happened naturally made Zhu Yu feel close to her.
It's as if they had been fighting each other like this in the past. Even if there are obstacles in memory, the vague outlines of past behavioral patterns and emotions will still be imprinted in the mind.
He thought for a while and thought that the goal of getting out of the mental hospital should be the priority at this moment.
"Since the doctor said so, I will leave myself to you."
"Don't say such disgusting things."
Is this person really his girlfriend?
Other discharge procedures had been completed before. When saying goodbye, Zhu Yu gave the attending doctor a well-thought-out excuse.
"Can you tell me the name of the person we met yesterday? After all, we had a very happy chat with the patient before. I will go to the temple to wish her a speedy recovery."
The girl stopped and leaned against the door frame to look at him.
For some reason, the doctor glanced at her: "This is not in compliance with hospital regulations... The girl's surname is Xia, and her first name is Feng He, which means Xia Feng He He."
Regardless of the reason for his change of mouth, Zhu Yu remembered the other person's name in this world and followed him to the door: "Let's go."
"Lin Suicao, Shuangmulin, Suicao is the name of the medicinal material."
"Huh?"
"I thought that after you got sick, your interest became asking for girls' names. Isn't that true? Or did you actually forget my title?"
She raised her eyes dissatisfied.
"It's best to introduce yourself at the beginning. My name is Zhu Yu."
It is said that it has the same name as a kind of magical herb that is not hungry, and it is a little more powerful than ordinary medicinal herbs.
"It's not me who lost my memory."
The sound of the two talking gradually faded away.
When they were approaching the entrance of the hospital, Lin Suicao suddenly pulled him and hid in the corner of the corridor on the first floor, hiding their figures.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Yu looked around and saw a woman wearing a mask hurriedly walking upstairs.
"Don't look blindly."
She held her sleeves and pulled him back. The fragrance lingering in her hair inevitably entered Zhu Yu's nose, "There is someone I know and I don't want to meet her."
Is this someone you met when you came here to visit?
They don't actually leave the mental hospital until this episode is over.
"I've called for a car before, it should be parked on the side of the road."
Behind him, the iron gate for people to travel slowly closed with a creaking sound, drawing a cold dividing line between the abnormal and the normal world.
Lin Suicao looked down at his mobile phone. There were cartoon-style octopuses and dolphins painted on the back of the blue casing. During the time Zhu Yu had been communicating with her, this was the only one that made him feel that a girl of his age should be like that. lovely features.
"Aren't you going to take the subway?"
Zhu Yu couldn't help but look at her show, where the beads of sweat that had appeared before were now gone.
"I was tired from walking when I came here, so I wanted to save some energy when I went back."
"Oh, thank you."
"It's inexplicable. Is there any part of what I just said that would allow me to be thanked?"
This guy is so awkward.
The car's tires screeched to a stop. Lin Suicao opened the back seat door and sat in first.
"This is the first time I've seen someone who loves a place like this."
She looked at the boy who stopped and looked back, his plain cheeks shining with ivory white light in the sun.
Under the long sky, the sun penetrates the thin clouds, pouring heat onto the asphalt road, and there seems to be white smoke rising; the prismatic building of the Third Mental Hospital of Songshui City is in the summer dust. Outlined by the light into a gloomy figure.
The flying bird I saw yesterday stood alone at the window on the third floor, and the other one went somewhere unknown.
"goodbye."
In the cicada chirping at the end of summer, he learned the names of the two girls.
In the summer of this year, Zhu Yu left the mental hospital.
