Chapter 1043: 1041: ntal Examination
In a small dark room near the exit of the circus, Yi Chen and the others had been waiting for quite a while.
"Why has it taken so long?"
William looked helpless, "Ah, we must carefully observe every area of the circus to create a ’fake mory’ that is perfect without loopholes. When we return, the First Disaster will surely check our mories.
Quickly open the defenses of your minds, I’ll completely replicate the fake mory onto them."
William brought out a set of television equipnt used during the magic banquet, inserted one hand into the back of his head, and extracted a ’video tape’ deeply soaked with cosmic goo.
The contents of the tapes were completely fictional, narrating how they disguised themselves to infiltrate the circus, went deep behind enemy lines, and erased all circus mbers completely.
As they watched the incredibly realistic VHS, the scenes directly overwrote and replaced the mories of Yi Chen and Lene.
In the end, Yi Chen sacrificed an arm and cracked his soul to kill Jian and Mr. Rabbit, erasing the entire circus between planes, with fear dissipating.
Buzz!
When the television screen ended, Yi Chen found his arm indeed severed, twisted into a braid at the break.
Cough cough cough~ Quite a bit of blood was coughed up from his throat, his soul severely injured, needing long rest.
Moreover,
They were no longer in the circus but back in the familiar hotel lobby,
The exhausted Lene had curled up on the sofa and fallen asleep,
while William had gone alone to the center high-rise of the City of Evil to submit the task.
"It was quite a brutal battle, Mr. Yi... Do you need
to take you back to your room?"
"Thank you, manager, I can go back myself."
Yi Chen knew there was an issue with the mories of the circus in his mind, but he couldn’t recall the original mories. He steadied the cracks in his soul through breathing, and with one hand carried Lene back to his guest room.
The hotel itself offered an absolute comfort, very suitable for post-war recuperation.
After laying the sleeping Lene on the bed, Yi Chen couldn’t fall asleep himself. He went alone into the bathroom and washed under cold water, trying to recall the real mories of the circus.
But all that existed in his mind were mories of slaughter.
’William is really scary, even though I couldn’t possibly act against the circus, he could create such a perfect fake mory... Indeed~ If I could find a flaw, the First Disaster would be inconsequential.’
’For now, let’s treat this mory as real.’
Yi Chen reached out to fetch the yellow skin hanging from the bathroom door, easily wiped away excess water with its adaptive absorption function and changed into loose, more suitable clothing for rest. ????Ｎ????????
He reached into his pocket to take out the familiar noose related to the Hanging King and set it on top of the bathroom.
Just like before, he prepared to self-strangulate to journey to the depths of the Dead Sea, to swiftly heal physical injuries.
But just as he was about to hang,
a strange noise was heard outside the bathroom door,
The entire hotel was absolutely quiet, with Lene in deep sleep, incapable of making such a sound.
Wheeze~
Yi Chen tried to spread his breath but found that the breath couldn’t pass beyond this door, even death perception couldn’t extend.
"Hmm? Is it here..."
The ready-to-hang Yi Chen tied the rope into a necktie and walked barefoot toward the door.
As he walked past the sink, a tall woman’s figure suddenly flashed in the mirror, with only her chin and mouth reflected.
She whispered a caution softly into Yi’s shoulder, then disappeared.
Click~ Turning the doorknob.
The action of opening the door encountered no obstacles, but once the bathroom door was opened, what lay before him was no longer the hotel room but a lengthy ntal hospital corridor.
tal doors lined with small windows were arranged on both sides, rusted or full of scratches.
"Hotel intrusion? Impossible... The manager wouldn’t allow this to happen.
There’s only one possibility, a spiritual illusion targeting
personally. Is this the First Disaster’s thod? To be effective in a hotel environnt of absolute safety?"
Yi Chen didn’t fiercely resist, for he was already in the City of Evil;
even if he could escape the illusion before him by death, the First Disaster would have other ans to reach him.
Walking through the ntal hospital’s corridor, the sense of reality was so overwhelming that he nearly forgot he was still in the hotel.
He exited the current corridor and reached the nurse station on this floor,
Click~
A thirty-sothing female nurse walked out from a door on the side of the standby.
"Welco to Lighthouse ntal Hospital, we’ve received your dical examination form, please register here first."
As the nurse placed a booklet on the tabletop,
Buzzing~ A wave of electromagnetic interference flashed by, the scene seed cut off, and Yi Chen’s personal information was already written on the booklet.
Even where he was born and the Black Mountain Orphanage were noted.
"Co with , you’ll undergo your exam here."
The nurse had already left the station, leading Yi Chen to another corridor where there were no wards, only a simple wooden chair placed at the end.
"Sit down, we will check the state of your brain and then determine if hospitalization is necessary."
Yi Chen followed the nurse’s advice and sat on the wooden chair,
Buzzing~ Once again the scene was interfered with, and the original wooden chair had already transford into a blood-stained tal table-chair covered in rust, connected by various cables.
The tal helt connected to the chair back had already been fitted onto Yi Chen’s head, and tal screws were automatically drilling into the skull, reaching deep into the brain.
A conduit equipped with a large needle was inserted into the back of his head, and brain matter mingled with blood was being extracted bit by bit.
The process wasn’t particularly painful, but Yi Chen instinctively wanted to struggle.
The nurse imdiately injected him with a sedative and soothed, "It’ll be over soon." .
Suddenly,
Water began seeping from the cracks in the walls, completely flooding the current area, and the entire ntal hospital began to tremble.
One gigantic hand smashed through the wall and grabbed Yi Chen, pulling him from the tal chair and out of the ntal hospital... Looking back, the nurse sister was carrying a bag of extracted brain matter, standing at the breach in the wall, waving goodbye.
...
Splash! Water splattered.
A hand grabbed Yi Chen’s collar and pulled him abruptly from the water-filled bathtub, the person before him was the manager.
"Mr. Yi, are you alright?"
"I’m alright... Thank you." Yi Chen, drenched from head to toe, sat on the cold floor, shook his head, and checked if his brain had shrunk from the brain matter extraction.
In reality, everything was normal, what just happened was rely an illusion, but he could be certain the mory check was complete.
The manager before him wore an uncharacteristic expression of anger, which was quickly restored.
"To let you be disrupted by non-hotel interference during your stay is my negligence. In the follow-up, the hotel will provide relevant compensation, and we will upgrade you to a higher suite that is less easily invaded soon."
Yi Chen was indifferent, knowing such a mory check would inevitably occur, his concern lay elsewhere.
"Has this happened before?"
"No, my hotel doesn’t allow this to happen."
"It seems the First Disaster indeed gained ’sothing’ from Lorrian or even improved qualitatively... Things are becoming troubleso."
