Chapter 124 Thinking

Chapter 124 Thinking

"Where am I? Where is this!"

A line of messy words was written on the back of the surgical record.

The strange thing is that the words left behind this time did not express fear and despair, but were instead filled with strong doubt and madness.

On the third time node of the first year of the era, the person who left the words discovered something that destroyed his worldview.

Bai Yanliang closed his eyes and quickly strung the clues together in his mind.

Xu Zhifei did not disturb him, she was also thinking quietly.

Bai Yanliang quickly connected all the strange things together, and he had a vague feeling that he was about to find it.

Find the monster that killed everyone in the hospital again and again in the seven-day cycle.

……

Du Shangjing is still alive.

This was something he himself had not expected.

When the compass stopped rotating and the door opened, Du Shangjing's pupils suddenly contracted.

Dead.

This was Du Shangjing's only thought.

However, the pair of blood-stained bare feet stopped at the door of the room and did not come in!
The other person stood at the door for a while, and then just... left.

Du Shangjing was a little confused.

Did it let me go?
Du Shangjing did not feel any joy at all after surviving the disaster. On the contrary, his mind became even more confused.

Before Du Shangjing entered Wuji, he was a very outstanding person.

He graduated from a prestigious affiliated hospital, and both his parents are senior intellectuals. His family has a long history of learning and he has no worries about food and clothing.

But Du Shangjing was not happy, which became more serious after his father passed away. His mother demanded that he be better than others in everything.

Sports, art, academics, even appearance, height, etiquette... he was forced to meet certain standards.

Du Shangjing felt that his mother had died on the day his father died, and what stood before him was just a living being with his mother's shell.

She was mentally confused, sometimes hysterical, sometimes laughing wildly, and sometimes crying bitterly.

Du Shangjing tried to persuade her and comfort her, but all he got was a crazy beating from his mother.

Du Shangjing lived like this for a very long time. If it weren't for the compass left by his father, he might have lost his way long ago.

So, after opening the door for the first time and entering Wu Ji, Du Shangjing's first reaction was not fear, but... relief.

After experiencing the first mission, Du Shangjing's worldview was greatly impacted.

He originally thought that the Mist Collection was just a subspace that existed in the cracks of the real world, but... after the evil spirit swallowed up the old senior who had taken good care of him at that time, Du Shangjing gave up that idea.

He finally understood that compared to the subspace, the fog was more like a bridge between the materialistic and idealistic worlds.

It connects two completely different worlds.

The laws of the two worlds are completely different, but they blend with each other under the influence of the fog.

Du Shangjing feels that perhaps one day in the future, the other world connected to the fog will collide and merge with the real world.

And the proof is.

The first mission time he experienced was the first time node.

And what followed was... until the last 7th time node.

The duration of each task is gradually approaching the real time.

Although no evidence was found, Du Shangjing was almost certain that this mission took place after the year.

This is the evidence Du Shangjing found. Strange footsteps are gradually approaching the present from the past!

So... next, will it be... until the 9th time node?

When the day comes when Wu Ji’s strange world truly approaches the real world, what will this world become?
Du Shangjing couldn't imagine it.

Maybe... he won't live to see that time.

So Du Shangjing was well prepared. He wrote down his findings and ideas on his computer and sealed them in a file.

This document needs to be checked by yourself once a week. If you miss it for a week, the document will be sent to the Wuji discussion group.

By that time, even though he is dead, he has still made some contribution, right?

Du Shangjing smiled bitterly.

Retracted the messy thoughts.

This mission was so strange that he had no clue what was going on.

The blood-stained bare feet that appeared just now still made him feel frightened.

After turning the corner strangely and going up to the second floor from the first floor, he immediately entered this horrifying space, which made his scalp tingle.

This mission is so illogical. It seems that a ghost may suddenly appear anywhere at any time. Maybe it doesn't need to come out at all. Just like on the first floor, it kills people invisibly. By the time you notice anything, it may be too late to save the situation.

That barefoot thing...will it come again?
How are Qin Chuan, Su Jieyi and the others? Where did Xu Zhifei go? Are they... still alive?
Du Shangjing didn't know.

He knows nothing.

But when he discovered the correct direction and knew that the sun here rises from the west, Du Shangjing became firm in his idea.

This world is definitely not the real world.

It is upside down, chaotic, illogical, and can only be explained by dreams.

Du Shangjing did not find any other clues, but in his understanding, there was a person who was the real core of this world.

He was the one who created everything, and only by finding him and killing him can we break through this strange space with chaotic logic.

All of this... was most likely a dream he had.

Only by finding the person who created the dream can there be a possibility of survival.

By now, the statement that there are no truly unsolvable evil spirits in the fog has been widely accepted, and Du Shangjing also agrees.

He carefully recalled all his experiences. Although each mission seemed extremely terrifying, thinking back on it, there seemed to be one... or even several suspected ways of survival!
Sometimes, the way out is so simple that all you need to do is change your way of thinking.

Just like Yu Wenxuan, although his approach was too extreme, it did break the situation.

My bones are not yet worn out, so where do you come from?

With just this one sentence of understanding, Yu Wenxuan killed thirteen members of the Liu family and set the entire compound on fire.

Indeed, if the guest has no place to return to, nature cannot arrive.

Yu Wenxuan fundamentally eliminated the path for the evil spirit to come, and the mission was naturally completed.

His approach is not recognized by Du Shangjing, but...it is also a way of thinking.

So...what is the way out this time?
In fact, when encountering horror and illusion, all strange phenomena are some kind of hints. This is something Du Shangjing discovered a long time ago.

But the more he thought about these strange things, the more Du Shangjing became certain of his thoughts.

This is most likely a dream.

The dream of a madman in a mental hospital.

Even the dreams of normal people have no logic at all, let alone those of crazy people?

Bizarre and fantastic is the color that dreams should have.
