Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 282: Obliterate
As a professional doctor, Jono obviously does not believe in ghost stories.
But if you stay in the hospital for a long time, you will inevitably hear related comments, especially in places like the morgue.
Do ghosts really exist?
Yono refused to believe it, but the answer Xu Shen gave him shocked and confused him.
Normally, people with delusional disorder will never repeatedly see things that do not exist around them and imagine them.
What's more, Xu Shen is constantly taking medicine for treatment.
Those things that disappeared around Xu Shen will also gradually disappear in Xu Shen's imaginary story, such as death or leaving.
If Xu Shen was imprisoned somewhere, such as at home at first, he would repeatedly imagine what he had seen before and cycle it over and over in his mind, but Xu Shen had long since escaped from that harsh environment.
Yono stared at Xu Shen's expression and said, "Are you sure you can see Maeve at any time? Including now?"
Xu Shen looked around the ward and was about to shake his head, but suddenly his expression changed slightly, and it was unclear whether he was happy or surprised. His eyes fell behind Yono.
A figure walked through the wall there.
Maeve.
In an instant, Xu Shen felt as if he was looking into Maeve's eyes.
The electric shock-like feeling made all the hairs on Xu Shen's body tense up.
Soon, his body reacted subconsciously and responded by calmly looking away.
"Here I go again."
Maeve smiled as she passed through Jono's body and walked around to the bed. She was still wearing the same dress, light and beautiful, like a dancing butterfly.
"Does this old man bother you?"
Maeve came close to Xu Shen and whispered softly, and a faint fragrance drifted into Xu Shen's nose.
Xu Shen's heart was shaking.
Is this reality?
So why is there Maeve?
Could it be that she is really a ghost? !
But in reality...where are the ghosts?
Sure enough, this is all an illusion.
But...Yonuo's words and everything around him were so real.
Xu Shen's eyes were dull and he was lost in confusion.
Seeing that Xu Shen didn't give an answer for a long time, Yono shook his head and didn't continue asking, for fear of irritating Xu Shen.
Having just regained consciousness today, he didn't dare to cause too much stimulation to Xu Shen. After all, the effect of the drug was limited.
"You should rest first." Yono said, then turned and left.
The door of the ward was closed. Xu Shen heard the footsteps of Yue Nuo and his mother gradually fading away. He could also hear his mother asking about his condition with concern, and their voices gradually faded away.
"They're gone."
Maeve looked outside and said with a smile.
Xu Shen didn't say anything, just sat on the bed woodenly, but he was very conflicted inside.
The warmth and peace that Maeve brought with him was now mixed with a hint of fear.
Is this absolutely beautiful and ethereal girl before me actually a ghost?
What kind of world is the reality we live in?
"Are you scared?"
Maeve seemed to sense Xu Shen's mood. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and then she slightly turned sideways and lowered her head, moving closer to Xu Shen. In an instant, Xu Shen seemed to smell the faint .
What made Xu Shen's pupils gradually dilate was that Maeve gently held his hand.
Silky and milky to the touch, soft and boneless, with warm body temperature.
Xu Shen was stunned.
"Now, you can't pretend not to see me..." Maeve smiled gently, but her eyes were filled with deep tenderness.
Xu Shen's body became stiff, but soon gradually relaxed, just like the anger that had been suppressed for a long time was slowly released.
He leaned quietly on the hospital bed, his dull eyes gradually regained their spirit, and he moved his gaze little by little, staring at the beautiful girl beside him.
He looked so carefully and seriously.
This time, he did not dodge at all, but just stared at it with all his heart and soul.
Maeve stared back, but with tenderness in her eyes.
"Do you need me to introduce myself?"
Maeve said softly: "My name is Maeve, you have to remember it."
I will never forget it... Xu Shen replied silently in his heart, and said softly: "My name is Xu Shen."
"I know your name..." Maeve giggled like a child, tiptoed and sat on the hospital bed. Xu Shen also quickly moved to the other side to make more space for her.
The infusion tube on his arm was pulled and torn into the wound, and Xu Shen gritted his teeth slightly.
Maeve burst out laughing: "Are you afraid of this little pain?"
Xu Shen couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be afraid."
Maeve's eyes turned and she looked at Xu Shen with interest: "Are you afraid of me?"
The smile on Xu Shen's face grew wider, "Don't be afraid."
Maeve heard Xu Shen's words, as if she had expected it, but there was still a strange light flashing in her eyes, as if she was excited and moved. She whispered: "You are the only one who can see me here."
Xu Shen whispered, "Are you the ghost they were talking about?"
Maeve didn't answer, but asked, "What do you think?"
"That should be it." Xu Shen thought of the scene when she had just penetrated Yono's body.
"Aren't you afraid?" Maeve asked.
Xu Shen smiled and said, "You have been with me for so long. Even if you are a ghost, you are a good ghost."
Maeve was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but laughed with her hands covering her mouth, as if she had heard something extremely funny. She laughed so hard that her body shook. It took her a long time to calm down, and she said with a half-smile, "How can ghosts be divided into good and bad ones?"
As she spoke, her eyes seemed to become slightly evil.
That gaze was very familiar to Xu Shen, like prey staring at the delicious plate in front of it.
But Xu Shen was not afraid this time, he just smiled quietly: "Maybe not, but I can define it."
Maeve laughed and said, "If I ate you, would you still think I was a good person? "
Xu Shen thought about it for a moment, then nodded gently: "At least you accompanied me."
When Maeve heard this, the smile on her face faded slightly. She stared at Xu Shen deeply, and said with a bit of melancholy and sigh, "What a lonely answer..."
She was silent for a while, then looked up and smiled at Xu Shen: "I won't eat you, because... at least you kept me company."
The two looked at each other, then smiled at each other.
Two lonely souls, one human and one ghost, keep each other company.
Time passed quietly in the ward.
The sun sets and night falls.
The doctor on duty came in for rounds, and Xu Shen saw that the doctor's face was the middle-aged man he had seen downstairs at the Yono Private Clinic.
He looked indifferent and no longer thought about whether it was an illusion or reality.
When the doctor on duty came over, Maeve's figure disappeared and became illusory. She stood by the window and waited for the doctor to leave. Then Maeve reappeared and chatted with Xu Shen.
The window was slightly opened, and the cool breeze from outside blew in, making the curtains flutter.
The night is cool as water.
The lights in the ward were turned off early, and only the bright moonlight shone in, allowing one to see the shining stars outside.
Xu Shen gave half of his hospital bed to Maeve, and the two of them leaned on the bed and chatted.
Maeve told Xu Shen the interesting things that happened in other wards.
It was the first time that Xu Shen chatted with Maeve so genuinely and freely. They had met countless times before but could only pretend not to see each other, but now they could communicate to their heart's content.
The moon rises and the stars set, the sun rises and changes.
Time passes day by day .
In a blink of an eye, it has been almost a month since Xu Shen came to the ward.
Yono would come to check on Xu Shen every day and fill in the gaps in his story with reality, so that Xu Shen would understand that everything was a reference to reality.
Including everyone he knew.
Su Shuang is a patient in Xiao Zhao's clinic. She also has delusional disorder, but her symptoms are much milder than Xu Shen's. Once, Xu Shen accidentally saw her being violated by another doctor.
The Queen Ant is the patient in Room 1 in Xiao Zhao's clinic. She has the most serious condition, much worse than Xu Shen, and suffers from severe schizophrenia.
Maeve quietly revealed that she saw the Queen Ant split into three personalities, talking to herself and each other.
The people from the Black Light Cult were in a children's hospital next to Xiao Zhao's clinic, where all the inmates were minors.
In other words, the four great bishops of the Black Light Church in Xu Shen's eyes are actually young children.
And Xu Shen is the king of the kids!
Such an explanation made Xu Shen laugh and cry, and he was speechless.
The sun is shining brightly through the window.
The cool breeze was very comfortable.
Xu Shen lay quietly in the hospital bed with Maeve by his side. Such a peaceful and comfortable life made him unwilling to pursue whether what Yono said was true or false.
Maybe it would be nice to spend the rest of my life like this.
"Do you really plan to stay here forever?"
night.
The two were having a pleasant conversation when Maeve suddenly stopped smiling and spoke seriously to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen was slightly stunned.
He smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? This is reality, and I won't think about those stories anymore. This way, my symptoms will be alleviated, and I can be discharged from the hospital earlier and accompany you to see more things."
Maeve stared at Xu Shen: "Do you really think so?"
Xu Shen looked into her eyes. The distance was so close that he could even see the star-like lines in her pupils.
Xu Shen's smile gradually faded.
The ward was extremely quiet, with no sound at all.
for a long time.
Xu Shen sighed softly, his eyes filled with reluctance and sadness, and he reached out to stroke Maeve's hair: "If I leave, I will never be able to talk to you like this again."
"It doesn't matter……"
Maeve smiled and said softly, "There will be a chance. I believe you will come to me one day."
"Do you trust me that much?" Xu Shen laughed.
Maeve nodded vigorously: "I believe you can do it."
Xu Shen stared at her for a while and nodded: "As you wish."
Maeve smiled, stood up, and retreated to the end of the ward. Then she waved gently to Xu Shen: "I'll wait for you..."
After saying this, the figure gradually disappeared and faded away.
Xu Shen took a deep breath.
He slowly sat up from the bed.
Then he pulled out the IV tube in his hand and threw off the quilt.
The alarm on the nearby instrument sounded.
Suddenly, there was a sound of running footsteps outside the ward.
Soon, the door of the ward was swiped open.
Yono and other doctors looked at Xu Shen, who was covered in blood and had the tubes removed from the bed, in horror: "You, what are you doing?"
Xu Shen looked at Yono, smiled, and said, "Thank you for telling me the story."
As he said this, he stood up from the bed.
Yono hurried forward and said, "Don't get out of bed, your body won't be able to support it..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped.
Yono covered his neck in disbelief as an infusion needle pierced his neck. He looked at the mad Xu Shen in front of him in horror and staggered back.
Xu Shen's smile became more intense.
"Even if this is reality, I will destroy it all!"
"Crazy, he's crazy!"
The other doctors screamed in shock and anger.
"He has gone completely crazy!!"
"After this month's treatment, isn't he almost recovered?"
"He, he was pretending, damn it, he shouldn't have been untied!"
Xu Shen burst into laughter.
Then he thrust another infusion needle into his throat.
The only way to destroy reality is to destroy yourself.
As long as you die, everything in reality will disappear.
The whole world will disappear.
Although this disappearance is for oneself.
But it's enough.
The blood flowed down his palm and seeped down. The sticky and warm feeling made Xu Shen laugh even more happily.
"Quick, stop him!"
Jono covered his neck and spoke hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, the other doctors were about to step forward, but Xu Shen threw the infusion bottle beside him and smashed it in front of everyone's feet.
While everyone was stopping, Xu Shen grabbed a piece of glass and cut his throat again.
Relying on only one needle is too slow, even suicide would be difficult.
"quick!"
Jono roared.
Xu Shen slit his throat.
Blood gushed out, and he saw the person in front of him rushing towards him, punching wildly, and gradually, perhaps due to excessive blood loss, the ceiling in front of him began to shake, and the doctor in front of him turned into multiple figures.
"Save him!"
"quick!!"
Before his consciousness faded, Xu Shen heard Yono's scream of fear and anger.
The cry was so loud, yet so slow, as if it was played at 0.5 times the speed, and every word became slow.
Finally, it gradually faded away...and disappeared.
Endless darkness surrounded me.
Xu Shen felt as if his body was falling continuously, falling into an invisible abyss.
Until in the depths of darkness, he saw a faint light.
There... seems to be a room?
At the door of the room, Xu Shen saw many heads sticking out, including his mother, Director Liu, and King Mu...
Xu Shen approached the cabin quickly.
When he thought his body was about to hit the ground, he was about to stand up, but suddenly he found that there was still an endless and he stepped on empty air.
…
…
call!
Xu Shen suddenly opened his eyes.
He sat up from the recliner as if startled.
In front of me is Jono's treatment room on the third floor.
But at this moment, the treatment room was a bit messy, with plowed grooves all over the walls.
The tables and chairs around were overturned, as if they had been through a fierce battle.
The exquisite porcelain used for decoration was also destroyed.
Xu Shen turned his eyes and saw a teenage boy three meters away, looking at him with fear on his face.
There were force chains wrapped around the boy's ankles, preventing him from leaving.
The world in front of Xu Shen's eyes changed, and he seemed to have returned to the scene in the ward. The chain was like the IV tube that he had knocked over on the ground...
Damn it!
Xu Shen covered his head and bared his teeth slightly.
