Zhou Fei was puzzled, still crouching with his head in his arms outside the door of the confinement room.
Wen Xishu said:
"Have you ever thought that both experiences are actually real, but each time they use a rough and identical way to end your exploration of the true world facts."
"Whenever you see something, something that does not fit your cognition, your fate is to wake up in bed..."
"Combined with your familiarity with drugs—I think you have really always been taking some drugs. These drugs have severed a part of your recognition of reality."
"When you access the truth, someone forces you to fall asleep. Then you wake up... blaming it all on sleepwalking."
Zhou Fei was shocked:
"Both parts... both experiences, are real?"
Wen Xishu said:
"Actually, there are no two experiences, only one experience. The environment you live in hasn't changed... which makes it even harder for you to distinguish."
"You saw your father shedding skin, that is true, but which led you to contact the real world too early, and someone doesn't want you to know these things..."
"Thus, you are controlled by some kind of drug, when the drug effect wears off, you wake up, thinking everything was just a dream."
"Some child is unstable, seeming not yet accustomed to its new body, thus exposed before you."
"Which also caused you to see things you shouldn't have, so you were once again controlled by drugs, when the drug effect ended, you woke up again."
"Zhou Ming was the same, Zhou Ming tried to tell you the truth, he saw everything you did."
"But without a doubt, some will does not want you to know the truth."
"They made you insane, hoping you continue to play the Zhou Fei they want you to be."
Zhou Fei was horrified, trying to accept this reality but feared suddenly waking up.
Wen Xishu seemed to know Zhou Fei's worries:
"You won't wake up. Because you aren't in a dream, Zhou Fei, this is real."
Zhou Fei was puzzled:
"If it's really like what you said... what kind of environment am I living in?"
This was also the current issue troubling Wen Xishu.
Britney, Zhou Fei, seemed to live in a world where "monsters wear human skin" and massively impersonate humans.
This world, Wen Xishu had actually experienced, right in the time turbulence.
Of course, not necessarily the same world.
But Wen Xishu always felt maybe the world that ate children, and the world where Britney and Zhou Fei are... not necessarily the same, but the owner behind it, the associated constellation, might be the same.
This is a constellation with very large influence, which is likely controlling several cities. The rule rate over these cities is very high.
Unlike Jiangcheng, Mo'en, Hujiang, these places contain multiple forces.
But Wen Xishu could feel, the cities occupied by this constellation seemed to have no other forces.
Almost an entire city cooperates with its arrangement.
For instance, Britney, everyone listens to instructions, allowing Britney to live in a carefully arranged lie. Making everything about Britney seem like a show.
She is the only one not in the loop.
The feeling given to Wen Xishu is—backstage powers go to huge lengths to make Zhou Fei and Britney believe the world they originally lived in was normal.
Wen Xishu also thought, could the constellation's style of acting attempt to make everyone, unable to detect anomalies, live in a monster-filled city?
But he quickly overturned this idea:
"Good People Hall, the place to transform humans into Good People. Here many people's soul differences are erased. It's a soul concentration camp."
"Logically, the original storyline should lead me to help Zhou Fei, Chris, Britney, about to become Good People, escape here."
"But this is the strange place, during my exploration, I noticed one thing—the monster's forces were large, monsters had already spread throughout the Magic City."
"In reality, monsters had ruled the Magic City. So why slowly transform Zhou Fei and the others?"
"Wouldn't be better just killing them directly? Why go to great lengths to deceive and hide from Zhou Fei and Britney, not letting them know monsters' existence?"
Wen Xishu felt through Zhou Fei's memory, he seemed very close to the truth.
"Zhou Fei, Chris, Britney, the three people are different from ordinary people."
"Thus, I can control these three, instead of others, for a reason."
"It's precisely because of their three's uniqueness... leading the person behind them to pay extraordinary attention to them three?"
"Thinking carefully, Zhou Fei's abilities, if used to climb Deceit Tower, are actually very abnormal. If these abilities are permanent on him, if he can use them skillfully... then Zhou Fei is definitely a cipher to decrypt the strange."
"So that person tries to weave their lives, making them think they live in a normal world?"
"But eventually failed, as Britney and Zhou Fei detected the oddity. Eventually, they were sent to Good People Hall?"
The truth is elusive, everything is just Wen Xishu's personal speculation.
But Wen Xishu's interest in the truth has gradually increased.
"Zhou Fei, next I will control you. Don't worry, the truth you desire, I will surely unravel for you."
Zhou Fei and Britney's memory allowed Wen Xishu to notice a key point—
This city is full of monsters, monsters disguised as humans. The situation he feared most has become reality...
Assuming this is the handiwork of a constellation, then the constellation's execution is quite astonishing.
At this moment, Wen Xishu's perspective has already come to Zhou Fei here.
Confused, unable to distinguish reality from dreaming Zhou Fei's gaze gradually became sharp.
"Hello, Chris."
In the confinement room, Chris said in surprise:
"Who are you?"
"My name is Wen Xishu, here to rescue you out of here."
Britney from the Mild Illness Area and Zhou Fei from the Moderate Illness Area have already allowed Wen Xishu to gain some truth.
Wen Xishu has a hunch that Chris's memory might help him unravel the puzzle.
