Black hair, light eyes, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and a knee-length plaid skirt like a high school uniform, socks, sneakers, and carrying a fabric bag on her shoulder. The girl who appeared at the door of Lu Kan's ward did have a warm and elegant appearance.
Amber has the exact same appearance.
"What, what's on my face?"
The girl noticed Lu Tian's gaze and hurriedly touched her face, then glanced at the hem of her skirt and clothes. She found nothing wrong, and then walked briskly to Lu Tian's bedside.
"You are already dead."
Lu Tan looked at the young and energetic girl in front of him and said seriously.
"ah?"
The girl was stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted.
"You're talking about those settings again. Well, didn't the doctor say it's getting better?"
She sighed, put the fabric bag on the bedside table, took out two apples and a folding fruit knife, and began to peel the apples seriously.
However, her skill in peeling apples cannot be considered to be very good, it can only be said to be a mess. At first glance, she looked like a contestant who would just gnaw the skin after washing it. Lu Tan couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to take the fruit knife and the apple.
Unexpectedly, just this simple move made the girl suddenly startled. She stood up hurriedly and put the fruit knife in her hand behind her. She couldn't even hold the apple firmly and dropped it to the ground.
Lu Tiao saw fear in the eyes of the girl with the amber face who took two steps back.
There is also a little regret.
"...I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you hurting yourself."
She brought the fruit knife in front of her, leaned down slightly, and took another step closer to Lu Tiao.
"How are you?"
The girl confirmed.
"I am fine."
Lu Tan said calmly. He spread his hands flat with his palms facing up.
"I won't hurt you or myself."
After hearing Lu Tian's words, the girl put the fruit knife into Lu Tian's hand.
Lu Tan picked up the apple and handed it to the other party.
"Wash it with water, it can still be eaten."
The girl nodded, picked up the apple and went to the bathroom to clean it.
Lu Tan felt the weight of the fruit knife in his hand, picked up the apple, and began to peel it neatly.
By the time the girl came back from washing the apples, he had already finished peeling them.
"Eat this."
Lu Tan handed the freshly peeled apple to the girl, while he picked up the one that had fallen to the ground and took a bite.
Crisp and sweet.
“It’s quite delicious.”
Lu Jian commented.
"Yeah, I specifically told the fruit shop owner to make it crispier."
The girl smiled happily, chatted for a few words, and said a little excitedly.
"By the way, I just heard from the doctor that you are recovering very well. You can consider going home to rest for a while and gradually adapt to the outside world."
"Um......"
Lu Tan finished eating the apple and was about to throw the core into the trash can when he was stopped again.
"This is wet garbage and needs to be sorted."
The girl put the leftover fruit cores that the two of them had eaten into a bag.
“I didn’t expect that I would have to sort garbage in my hallucination.”
Lu Tan sighed with emotion.
"You're talking like this again, Lu Jian, are you really okay?"
The girl asked a little uneasily, and before Lu Tiao could answer, she said again.
"You have been saying some strange things before, saying that I am dead or burned to death, but I am here just fine."
"yes."
Lu Tan did not delve into these words, and only nodded in agreement.
Obviously, in this illusion, Lu Jian does not have extraordinary power, and the world is quite peaceful. There are no old rulers, no foreign lands, and no pollution.
Lu Jian is just an ordinary mental patient. He has developed a lot of delusional symptoms due to strange illnesses and experimental treatments. Now, after surgery, he has finally recovered from that completely confused state, although his delusional memory
It's still bothering Lu Tiao, but at least he can recognize the real world now.
Naturally, all the extraordinary powers that Lu Jian possessed also disappeared.
He cannot melt, cannot photosynthesize, has no [real vision], and cannot materialize [last words].
In Lu Jian's field of vision, there were no indifferent and cold words about the quiet place.
Everything is normal.
But this is not normal.
"...Okay, I'm going back first. We will go through the discharge procedures next Monday. You have a good rest and don't think too much."
The girl chatted with Lu Tan for a while before packing up and leaving.
Lu Jian was examined by the doctor again. Time passed and the sun faded. The setting sun shone through the window into the house, giving Lu Jian the feeling of a lonely old man.
"Don't let waiting become a regret."
Lu Tan couldn't help but said.
He didn't have a mobile phone, so he could only turn on the TV in the ward.
The TV set also had protective measures to prevent Lu Jian from being moved. Obviously, although this was not a high-risk ward with a straitjacket, it was more or less prepared to prevent Lu Jian from suddenly getting sick.
You can watch programs on the TV normally. Although there are not many channels, they are all serious channels.
Lu Tan turned on the news and read it for a while.
He found that the world in this illusion was similar to the world before he traveled, at least he didn't notice any difference.
After watching the news for more than ten minutes, Lu Kan changed the channel and saw that another channel was playing a variety show.
This variety show is similar to the one where boys and girls go forward and is a physical challenge.
However, the challenger Lu Jian inside looks a bit familiar.
He recalled it and found that these were the explorers he met when he first went to the wilderness.
Giant Arms, Flame Heart, and Old Dreams.
The three people who were mimicked by insects are currently running around the water park and seem to be having a pretty good time.
According to the doctor's theory, Lu Jian's brain will subconsciously remember everything he has seen, whether it is text or human beings. Normally, human beings will not record so much information, and will regularly forget unimportant things, or
Convert it into some block memory.
Just like the ugliness that happened in elementary school, you usually don't think about it at all, but once it is stimulated in a certain way, you can recall it through association, and let the dead memories start to attack you.
But Lu Jian's brain doesn't do this, which makes him like a computer that constantly fills his hard drive with downloaded software. It's so full that it changes shape, and it often crashes.
This creates mental problems.
Under guidance, Lu Jian will transform the characters he sees on TV and the words he reads in newspapers into some delusions. This is the explanation of Lu Jian's so-called "Quiet Place".
The doctor also said that the reason why Lu Tan could always avert danger in those foreign adventures and never fall into madness no matter what was precisely because he was the master of these delusions.
When Lu Tan's overly powerful memory, rigorous logical thinking, and a little bit of mental problems collided, he became what he is now.
Everything is very reasonable.
After all, the explanation is more consistent with cognition than explanations of foreign lands, old rulers, evil gods, extraordinary powers, or mental illness.
If you really believe that this world has extraordinary powers, you are crazy.
Lu Tan was still watching the people on TV falling into the water with great interest. Everyone laughed happily. There was a knock on the door in the ward, and a person pushed the door open and entered.
It's Feng Yu in the form of a nurse.
She was carrying a dinner plate to deliver food to Lu Tan.
Patients like him seem to have a special diet and don't need to go to the cafeteria.
In other words, you are not allowed to go to the cafeteria.
"There is pangasius today. Although it should have no spines, you have to be careful when eating it."
Feng Yu reminded, putting the dinner plate on the table.
