[Comprehensive terror] frighten the ghost

He turned off the phone's voice, leaving only the faint light of the flashlight to illuminate his surroundings.

Lying on the ground, he stared blankly at the starless sky.

In the dark sky, only the moon hangs alone.

It's like lying here alone on the dark land.

Is one world big?Maybe it's so big that he can't see the edge.

But it was also very small, so small that he was the only one.

Nothing else.

After a long time, he mustered up the courage and turned on the phone.

"Captain, I have two explanations, a fantasy version and a scientific version, which one do you want to hear?"

Qu Fei's voice made him feel a little comforted.Zhou Feng remembered that the book of reincarnation said that this is a fantasy world, maybe he should choose the former, but now, he wants to hear a scientific explanation that makes him feel at ease.

"In that case...Captain, I think you probably have a mental breakdown."

"What does that mean?" He only knows about split personalities, like the killer in Hitchcock's Psycho, who has two personalities and will make weird behaviors due to switching between different personalities, but this is not the same as his The situation is completely irrelevant.

"That is to say, you will have hallucinations, all kinds of hallucinations, visual, tactile, auditory, all possible. This is a positive characteristic. If your hallucinations revolve around a theme, it means that your spirit Splitting is the paranoid subtype."

After a moment of silence, he asked, "To put it bluntly, you think I'm crazy, right?"

"Well, the common name for schizophrenia is psychosis."

He dropped the phone very simply.

After calming down for a while, he picked up the phone again, "Why did this happen? Why did it happen to me?"

"Schizophrenia is generally caused by genetic mutations, usually inherited, and symptoms begin to appear in young adults, which is the age you are now, captain."

"There is no history of mental illness in my family!" He is still sure of this.

"But...Captain, don't forget that your bloodline has changed! In other words, your genes have changed."

He froze there. Indeed, according to the Book of Reincarnation, his blood was not human, but a mutant.

"Also, I have to remind you that in the original work, Sailor, the villain who has the same ability as you, suffers from schizophrenia. It is usually believed that Sailor's mental problems were caused by his initial learning of superpowers, but in fact he appeared Symptoms of paranoia begin with access to the superpower you have - telekinesis."

"So you think this is caused by my ability?" He never thought that superpowers would have such a sequelae.

"I'm not sure, it's just an explanation, a more scientific one."

"What about the fantasy version?" he asked.

"The mission world you are in now is Lovecraft's world."

"Who is that?" He always felt that he had heard this name somewhere.

"I mentioned him to you, a horror novelist, but his works are very niche and not many people read them, but the setting system he created called Cthulhu Mythos is widely spread. The place you are in The world may have merged with his settings."

"What will happen then?" He suddenly felt hopeful, if it was caused by a certain setting, then there must be a solution in the original work.

"The core attribute of this setting is called sanity, which translates to sanity value or sanity value. Captain, have you seen the episode of Stealth Naiyazi? It is a work based on the Cthulhu mythology."

"No, I basically don't watch anime." In this regard, he can only be dumbfounded, all thanks to Qu Fei's cheat.

"Then let me explain. In the Cthulhu mythology, the truth that humans can discover is extremely limited, and the entire universe is full of terrifying truths that humans don't understand. These truths completely conflict with the scientific world we know. When a person explores the truth of the world, his past cognition of the world, his logic, and the cornerstone he used to build rational judgments will be impacted. In terms of gamification, the san value will drop. And if the san value A large drop in a short period of time will lead to the appearance of some mental symptoms, such as the hallucinations you experience. This hallucination is not caused by magic or some kind of world rules, but your own sanity is collapsing and reorganizing Therefore, the two gold-levels in the team can't see any clues."

"And the other members of the team are not human and don't understand the so-called science, so they are not affected?" Zhou Feng thought for a while, and found sadly that in the end it was because he was a human being. "Okay, so how can I solve these symptoms?"

"If the schizophrenia is caused by genes, you can only rely on drugs to treat it, or you can use other blood cards to wash out your existing genes. But if the symptoms are caused by the decline in san value, I have no choice."

"What do you mean?" He squeezed the phone tightly, "Isn't there a way to restore the san value in the original work?"

"If you follow Lovecraft's original work, no, all the characters are either dead or completely crazy. If it is an improved version of the setting, there is usually only one way to recover the San value, and that is to rely on time to recover naturally But I have to ask first, Captain, do you know what caused your San value to drop a lot? For example, have you seen anything particularly scary these days? Except your hallucinations."

"Does the owl man count? When we first came to this island, there was a monster that could scare people to death, but now they have been dispersed."

"Well, it's possible, but the time is wrong. You didn't confirm that you had hallucinations until today, but it has been four days. If it was really caused by the owl, then you should have symptoms by now."

If not an owl, then what else?Zhou Feng recalled the experience of the past few days. Compared with the thrilling world of the last one, his current life can be regarded as leisurely and leisurely. There is no fierce battle, and there is no need to fight against any terrifying existence.That being the case, what caused the san value to drop?

Could it be a genetic problem?

Since the symptoms have intensified in the past few days, it must be something that can be encountered these days.

He suddenly remembered that the night before yesterday, His Royal Highness mentioned that there was some kind of evil spirit in the darkness, and the other party also said that he would be the first to be breached.

"A Fei, do you think it's possible, I saw something that would cause my San value to drop, but I don't know what it is, and I don't think I saw anything. For example, a dark monster standing in the dark among?"

He remembered the figure he had seen during the day.

Maybe it wasn't a hallucination, maybe he saw evil spirits.

"I don't know, but in Lovecraft's world, I don't easily assert what is possible and what is impossible."

That makes sense.Every night he faces the darkness, so his symptoms get worse.

He stood up and wanted to go back to the camp, but suddenly remembered that he could no longer see the campfire.

The evil spirits have tampered with his individual reality, leaving only a small amount of light in his world that can be emitted by a mobile phone.

He sat back in despair, "A Fei, I think I may, there is no way to recover."

The other party was silent and did not answer.

No one can help him.

What Qu Fei said is right, this is just a natural phenomenon in the collapse and reconstruction of reason.He's not sick, he's not hurt, he's not cursed, he's okay, he's normal, it's just that his normal, in other people's eyes, isn't normal.

This is his own battlefield.

But he slid step by step into the abyss of defeat in front of the indescribable enemy.

Footsteps came from far to near, but he didn't care to pay attention to who was coming.

It doesn't matter to anyone.Maybe that was just his hallucination.

So what if it's not a hallucination?

Looking at each other is like looking at the huge chasm between each other's realities.

So close, as if they were within reach, but spiritually, it was as if the entire Milky Way was separated, and they would never be able to cross the gap that lay between them.

Zhou Feng never thought that one day, he would be so afraid of loneliness that he would not dare to contact anyone.

The other party sat down quietly beside him, put the torch aside, and then took his hand.

Interlocking fingers.

"Captain, I know you don't believe me, but I can see what you see and feel what you feel."

"When I touched you, I saw only your hand shimmering in the darkness."

"I know what that's like."

"It seems that the whole world has played a big joke with me."

"When perception no longer becomes the dimension of reality, the reality of the universe is out of your control in an instant."

"I can feel your fear, the fear of losing control, and the hatred of yourself, fate, and the world caused by fear."

"When I held hands with you, it seemed like I was lost in this dark and empty universe. I wanted to grab something, but there was nothing."

"I'm right here, in your world."

"And the only thing I'm afraid of is that I'm here, but you don't know my existence."

He raised his head, and Her Royal Highness was sitting beside him, the glimmer of light in his hand seemed to be reflected in the dark pupils.

With a sudden impulse for no reason, he suddenly pulled the other party into his arms and hugged him tightly.

He just wants to hug someone, anyone is fine.

He thought the other party would push him away, but the other party didn't, but gently stroked his back.

He buried his head in the soft neck of the other party, motionless.

Tears fell silently.
