Chapter 231 Benevolent Hall

A mushroom appeared right under Britney, or Wen Xishu's nose.

The mushroom was very bright, emitting an attractive red color, and it seemed that if you ate it, you would immediately lie down.

But this mushroom also has a strange halo.

Wen Xishu thought carefully about his past life... This mushroom was very famous and was deeply bound to a sewer maintenance worker.

After eating this mushroom, your body will grow larger and be able to smash through brick walls suspended in the air.

【You can have it now, but you have to pay the price of having it. 】

Wen Xishu saw the special notes.

Unaffected by magic resistance, it seems, Scorpio's tone.

"It seems to be the effect of Scorpio Knife's 'Great Tribute'."

Unfortunately, the item that appeared this time was not the one that could break the impasse. A larger body would attract attention, which would make Wen Xishu's escape very troublesome.

Britney is currently the most free to move.

It was very simple to manipulate Britney into a safe state. Wen Xishu only needed to let Britney go back to her room.

Britney is likable.

Wen Xishu seemed to gradually recall some things.

This girl has been very popular since she was young. Everyone seems to assume that she is beautiful and kind-hearted because of her looks.

Britney is indeed like this, often helping others. But Britney is not good at studying... She is too playful, always thinking about going out to play and neglecting her studies.

But after all, Britney is not the kind of person who needs to rely on studying to change her life.

Her family is well off.

This "soul concentration camp" also looked magnificent, which reminded Wen Xishu of some things about Britney's family background.

Soon, he manipulated Britney and returned to his room.

The beautiful and kind-hearted little angel has her own separate room in this concentration camp.

After settling all this, Wen Xishu immediately switched roles.

[Britney is currently in a safe state for two hours. Do you want to switch? ]

Without any hesitation, Wen Xishu switched directly to Chris.

Seeing that tough guy's face, Wen Xishu suddenly felt that he seemed to become more vigorous.

……

……

Intensive care unit. Confinement room.

The light in the confinement cell was dim, but not completely dark.

Wen Xishu suddenly switched scenes, from the bright and warm area for mild symptoms to the damp and dark confinement room. He was still a little uncomfortable.

But he did not forget the rules of the confinement room.

[Unlocking rule 1: In xxx, do not xx silently count numbers. xxxx you are in xxx, hear someone looking for you xxx, please do not xxx. ]

The confinement cell was very small. Chris was a typical muscular man. He curled up in the confinement cell and had very little space to move around.

Wen Xishu was not counting silently at this moment.

He just waited patiently, but he didn't wait too long. After just a few seconds, he began to feel something wriggling and crawling.

There were tiny things crawling on his body, on his back and on his arms.

Wen Xishu had no choice but to start counting numbers silently.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."

As he silently counted to thirty, Wen Xishu finally felt better. The feeling of something crawling inside his body disappeared.

It's parasitized. Something is inside my body, trying to crawl into my brain along various parts of my body.

Wen Xishu realized something extremely bad.

If they are not referring to humans, then has Chris, who is in the intensive care unit, been infected?

"43, 44, 45..."

Wen Xishu was still counting silently, but he still had the energy to do additional thinking.

“Why do I need to count?”

Wen Xishu began to recall.

The first thing he thought of was electric shock, which was to make Chris compromise and obey.

In Wen Xishu's previous life, someone used this trick to "cure" many children.

In a sense, these children's creativity has been stifled.

Then, Wen Xishu thought of Zhou Fei who was in the medium-symptomatic area.

Zhou Fei took drugs, which made his brain fall into a chaotic state and his whole body became dull...

Once you enter the confinement room, it is very easy to be in that state.

Wen Xishu seemed to understand.

"They don't want the 'patient' to think."

"It seems that once I think, I can hinder the actions of the parasites in my body..."

"Of course, this is just a guess."

"But it is impossible for people to stop thinking, unless they sleep... Even when they sleep, they will think."

"It is impossible to completely isolate someone from thinking. If their goal is to turn this person into someone who cannot think, then what they should do is to remove the frontal lobe, just like what I experienced."

“So, they don’t want people to think, but for some reason, their intervention is limited.”

Wen Xishu has counted to ninety-nine.

At this time, Wen Xishu noticed some dents on the wall. He touched them and found that they were numbers.

"It seems that someone has been here before and they carved the numbers on the wall."

"But why carve it on the wall? Could it be that their brains at that time had reached the point where they needed to use spelling to strengthen their memory in order to write out numbers?"

Sometimes people can't remember certain things, but after seeing certain things, they will immediately remember them.

Therefore, children’s memory strengthening starts with copying.

Wen Xishu shook his head. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of torture the people who had been imprisoned here before had experienced.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to do an experiment.

He stopped counting silently, but kept his brain focused. He began to give himself questions and started counting in his mind.

"Didn't show up..."

The feeling of something waking up and starting to crawl out of the body did not appear.

But when Wen Xishu began to think about other issues, such as history, philosophy, and the three towers - after a while, the feeling as if something was slowly crawling inside his body appeared.

He felt like vomiting.

Because it seems that there are "them" in the stomach too.

Wen Xishu understood.

"The function of the confinement room is to restrict... Outside the confinement room, or in a normal environment, these parasites in the body seem to be suppressed because of the active brain and thinking about various things."

"But inside the confinement room, there is only one relevant thought that can suppress them. That is numbers."

"In other words, only by having numbers in your mind can you suppress them."

Just when Wen Xishu came to the conclusion——

A woman's voice appeared:

"Chris...Chris...my Chris..."

The silent count was immediately interrupted.

It is not difficult for Wen Xishu to do two things at once, but it would be difficult if the process suddenly involves a huge emotional impact and memory implantation.

Wen Xishu immediately recalled some memories about Chris.

"My name is Chris. I am a soldier, but I don't have any concept of defending my country. It's just that everyone wants me to go, so I went."

"I have a childhood sweetheart named Margaret. She doesn't want me to go because my troops have no justification for invading the Middle East. On TV, the children of Battan were sitting in the ruins with dull eyes. Margaret would cry every time she saw this."

"And what I'm going to do is to invade that place."

Wen Xishu felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if a steel needle had pierced his nerve endings.

Chris's memories kept coming back.

He went to the Middle East of this world and started to massacre the people there. He was only responsible for completing the orders of his superiors, but his comrades would hang the bodies of the children on the wall to admire them, just like specimens in a museum.

And all these images will be broadcast to Margaret.

When he returned in glory and the invasion was finally over, Chris enjoyed the cheers and curses of millions of people, but he didn't care. He just felt that he needed some money to give Margaret a good life.

But Margaret was killed by radical war advocates during a street protest.

Bugs suddenly started to appear in the spine, stomach, arms, and all over the place.

Chris was in great pain, and Wen Xishu was also in great pain.

Snot and tears began to flow continuously.

"Margaret! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm a sinner! I'm a sinner!" Wen Xishu suddenly realized that his control over Chris had failed.

He was not sure whether Chris, in his extreme emotions, had escaped his control, or whether he had truly put himself in Chris' shoes in his extreme emotions.

I don't know what the millions of people are cheering for, but the tenderness I wanted to hear has disappeared forever.

Tears of regret welled up in Chris's eyes. Post-war stress was not the real reason why Chris separated from the crowd.

The real reason was that the person he loved most died while praying for peace, and he accepted the medal given by the murderers.

This huge irony made Chris fall into endless self-blame.

broken!

Wen Xishu realized that he had violated the rules.

xxxx You are in xxx and hear someone looking for you xxx, please don't xxx.

Although the second half of this rule was also cryptic, Wen Xishu now understood what was going on.

When you are in the confinement room and hear someone speaking to you, do not respond.

Chris heard Margaret's voice and Chris responded.

"It's okay Chris... You are a sinful man, your mind is dirty from top to bottom, you are a war criminal! But it's okay, just hug me now!"

"Don't think about anything, I will come back to you and I will forgive you!"

Chris opened his arms and tried to embrace something that didn't exist. Wen Xishu only felt... this desire was too strong and had begun to suppress other thoughts.

It’s like a starving person who, when faced with food, will only think about eating it quickly. During this process, he may not be able to think about anything else.

Wen Xishu even himself longed to hug Margaret.

The Chris he controlled was like a machine with self-awareness. Wen Xishu's control was constantly weakening.

But Wen Xishu still controlled Chris's little hand within his ability and slapped himself hard.

Snapped!
The crisp sound confused Chris's brain.

There was only the feeling of something crawling, which became stronger and stronger.

But soon, they fell silent again.

"One hundred and twenty-nine, one hundred and thirty, one hundred and thirty-one..."

After experiencing some torture, Wen Xishu began to count silently again.

Gradually, Chris calmed down.

Wiping away his tears and snot, the embarrassed Wen Xishu couldn't help but sigh.

"We haven't gotten any intelligence yet... We know very little about them, but we almost lost a character."

If the brave man dies, I'm afraid the wise man will feel bad too, right?

Suddenly, a sound was heard outside the detention room. It was the sound of the radio.

“Are you still worried about your child not liking to study?”

"Are you still worried about your child being too rebellious?"

"Or do you feel that your husband, wife, father, mother... they have some bad habits that you cannot tolerate?"

“As the boss of a company, do you want your employees to be more comfortable with you?”

"As an employee of the company, do you hope that your boss can be more friendly?"

“Is there anyone in your life who is particularly difficult to deal with?”

"Are you always unpopular in your life?"

“Welcome to the Hall of Good People, where you can come to see whether you are yourself or someone in your life who you think needs to be good.”

"In fifteen days, we will make the target friendly, docile, and harmonious."

"The Good Man Hall is a good place for people to become kind."

This concludes the broadcast.

Accompanied by soothing light music and an intellectual female voice, this passage seems to give people a feeling of hope and sunshine.

But when Xishu heard it, he just felt it was weird.

He remembered that he had seen a city in the time turbulence of Pisces.

In the city...

There are no people between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, and the children there are cannibalistic. The whole city feels sunny and bright, and everyone has a smile on their face.

Although the two places are probably not related——

But Wen Xishu still thought of it.

After all, there are no "people" in the cities of both places.

If all the good people in the Hall of Good People are "treated" and leave the Hall, it is hard to imagine what these things whose brains are completely occupied by "them" will become when the doomsday really comes.

People thought that those people who were once familiar with them just became better and returned to them...

Little did they know that the once familiar people around them were just monsters in human skin.

Thinking of this, Wen Xishu realized that perhaps in order to achieve a perfect ending, the three of them had to escape and describe the scene inside to attract attention.

The appearance of the Hall of Good People might not only involve monsters, but also something more evil or terrifying.

Of course, all of this requires getting rid of the current predicament first.

Wen Xishu seems to be facing some problems now.

"I have to switch to another perspective...Chris is in solitary confinement, which makes him unable to move for a short period of time."

"If I were to sit here and count numbers silently, it would really be a waste of time."

"But if I switch roles and Chris stops counting, it might awaken 'them' in my body. Hmm, that would be troublesome."

If he didn't leave Chris, who knew how long he would be locked up? If he kept counting numbers silently, Wen Xishu felt that this game would be too boring.

Chris is in the critical care unit and does not have the ability to explore.

"Now that Chris is stable, should I try to violently break open the door to the closed room?"

After all, Chris was assigned props and sequences.

Wen Xishu can let Chris launch an extreme kick and use the killer football to score.

After thinking about it, Wen Xishu decided to keep his position for the time being.

At this time, Wen Xishu touched the number on the wall again.

"Wait, could it be..."

Wen Xishu's hand stroked the marks on the wall, which were all numbers.

But at this time, Wen Xishu no longer thought about the numbers, but just kept stroking these numbers...his brain was in a blank state.

After a while, the strange feeling of being crawled by something did not appear.

Wen Xishu sighed:
"I see. So this is the purpose of the numbers engraved here!"

Strangely enough, after touching the numbers on the wall, even if Wen Xishu didn't think about the numbers in his mind, it would not awaken the things lurking in his body.

"I'm still unclear on the principle, but it seems... once you touch these marks, the corresponding shapes will automatically appear in your mind?"

"The brain will allocate extremely low computing power to instinctively think about what it touches?"

Wen Xishu was not sure, but now, after testing, he found that even if Chris did not think about anything, it seemed that he could avoid waking up those things.

"There really must be an antidote within three steps."

Wen Xishu also received a familiar prompt at this time.

[The current character is in a safe state and will not attract "their" attention for a short time, meeting the switching conditions. Do you want to switch the character to the wise man or the sage? ]

The portraits of Britney and Zhou Fei appeared in Wen Xishu's sight.

"Britney has the most authority to act, and Scorpio Blade has brought a lot of in-game props to support us this time. Should we start with Britney?"

From what I could see, Zhou Fei seemed to have woken up.

This made Wen Xishu very curious, because Zhou Fei should have been asleep. Logically speaking, if he chose Britney, with the help of the "Great Tribute" enhanced by the Scorpio Blade, he might be able to find some kind of prop to break the deadlock.

But Wen Xishu was thinking, what if there was no Scorpio Sword?
Zhou Fei should have fallen into a coma after taking the medicine, so why did he suddenly wake up?

Wen Xishu decided to take a gamble. He did not choose the "kind" Britney, but the "wise" Zhou Fei.

"I have a general idea of ​​Chris's bravery. I hope you can really live up to the title of wise man."

After the switch was completed, the scenery in Wen Xishu's sight changed again.

This time, Wen Xishu returned to the ward with a somewhat cold tone.

In fact, Zhou Fei was not the only one in the ward.

But there is a sense of silence.

The so-called silence is not absolute silence, but in a quiet environment, you can hear certain sounds that you can't hear on weekdays.

This will make you feel extremely quiet.

For example, the sound of insects crawling.

Wen Xishu had his eyes open, because Zhou Fei had his eyes open.

But at this moment, Wen Xishu felt many bugs crawling on other people in the ward!
