0713: You who shine in the parallel world

The mechanism opened a secret door, and inside the secret door was a dark area. As far as Yu Yu could remember, there was no map of the area behind the secret door downstairs.

So, that darkness represents a completely new and unfamiliar area.

By the time they got here, most of the night lights in the brothers' hands had run out of battery, leaving only the two small lights in Yu Yu and Su Xing's hands, which could barely support the task of lighting.

The secret passage was not long, and they reached the end after a while. At the end there was a wooden door that looked quite old.

The door was not locked and made a creaking sound when pushed open. Yu Yu was still at the front, clearing the way. He first opened a small gap and observed for a while. After making sure there was no problem, he pushed the door open completely.

Behind the door was a small room. No one knew who the owner of the room was. Just looking at the paper covering the entire wall, everyone thought that the owner must be very knowledgeable about this nursing home.

The papers had turned yellow, and the red lettering on them had faded and oxidized to a dull reddish brown.

Most of the words and sentences on the paper were illogical. They spent a long time to decipher them and rearranged the sentences according to logical rules before they could understand what was being said.

These are the room owner's observations of all the creatures in the hospital, whether they are patients, nurses, caregivers, or even doctors they have never seen.

Next to the personnel situation analysis are a bunch of medical theories, brain research, surgical clinical trials, etc.

Yu Yu didn't look at it carefully. He just glanced at the words on the paper, thought of something, and took out the letter paper they got from the mission before.

The red words on the back of the letter are exactly the same as the font on these papers.

The owner of this secret room is the one who left them a warning.

"There's another piece of letter here." Lu Hu found a letter neatly lying in the middle of the desk. "It should be a new clue? So let's take a look at it with our brain first."

Su Xing took the letter, opened it, put it on the table, and read it with others.

The letter describes an interesting incident.

"Hello, to the person who sees this letter. I hope the warning I left for you is of some use to you. I know that when I try to leave something for you in your future reincarnation, he always stops me and makes it impossible for me to maintain a clear mind."

"I think you must be very curious about who I am. Actually, I don't know. The closer I get to the truth, the further my self-perception is from me. I'm not sure if I am still the same person."

"All I know is that he called me a 'rat', a dirty 'rat' that ate and destroyed things in his house."

"What's going on? Is this what the 'rat' person among us left behind?" Land Rover was confused.

"Not necessarily. Pay attention to what he said before, 'you in your future reincarnation.'" Su Xing pointed to the key words at the beginning.

Whenever the topic of setting comes up, the middle-aged bird starts to have wild ideas: "This means that this nursing home is constantly restarting reincarnation. Maybe he is not the 'rat' in our reincarnation, but the 'rat' in a previous reincarnation?"

"! That makes sense!" Wang Yuexin suddenly realized.

"Look down, it's written below." Chen Qisheng said that he had been reading the contents of the letter and did not participate in the discussion.

"He thought I was a 'rat', but I didn't think so. I just broke free from the shackles he put on us. I started to have my own ideas and thoughts. I started to be curious and yearn for life outside. I started to understand what freedom really is."

"You may have a lot of doubts after reading this, it's okay, I will tell you everything I know."

"I am a failed 'rat'. I failed to stop all this before reincarnation. I will face my destruction calmly, but I hope that you, or other 'rats' in future reincarnations, can inherit the evidence left by these predecessors and embark on the path that neither I nor my predecessors have ever reached."

The former "rat" left everything he knew in the letter.

The surgery performed by the nursing home on these elderly people is similar to a prefrontal lobotomy, but is even more horrific and cruel than a prefrontal lobotomy.

They extracted the elderly's entire brain, and before brain death, they put their consciousness into the collective consciousness of an artificial brain and locked it in the lowest level.

Therefore, the reason why the elderly people admitted to the hospital become younger is not because of some magic, but because their physical bodies have died, and only their reshaped spiritual bodies are left.

In order to prevent the mental body from collapsing, the artificial brain still retains the appearance of a nursing home, so that they subconsciously believe that they are in a nursing home.

However, self-consciousness is a very mysterious thing. Even if their consciousness leaves the body, even if they have forgotten many things in the process of reshaping their consciousness, one day, the desire for freedom and the call of their true self will make them gradually remember everything and turn back into old people. That is when their consciousness collapses.

Therefore, the little red flower was born in the "nursing home", which can seal their emotional fluctuations at the conscious level, but the little red flower is not omnipotent.

When they turn back into the appearance of old people and their consciousness is about to collapse, the only thing the nursing home can do is to perform consciousness transformation surgery and turn them into faceless caregivers and nurses in the nursing home.

At that time, everything they have will disappear, leaving only a body that has been transformed into a monster. Wearing a small white flower, it will commemorate its own death while maintaining this tattered body to prevent it from breaking on the spot.

Normally, patients at the lower level cannot see the little white flowers on the caregivers and nurses, because the beautiful hypocritical mask of the lower level covers everything. But when the space is unstable and turbulent, they will have a chance to see the little white flowers, which are things that the conscious beings cannot understand and bear, and thus collapse.

The secret passage between the patient area and the staff area, as well as the passage between the staff area and the upper level, are actually more like small paths for smuggling between levels of consciousness, perhaps dug by the previous "rats".

As for doctors, they exist when the consciousness space is stable. Of course, they are just called "doctors". In fact, they are all human-shaped monitors projected into the consciousness layer by the artificial brain, just like the owner inserts an eye to observe the daily condition of his pet. They are that eye.

Normally he would not take back the eyes he had inserted, but if there was a spatial turbulence, or the consciousness projected at the bottom had reached the critical point of collapse, the nursing home would take back the doctor, because he needed energy to cope with the restart of reincarnation. If necessary, he would even devour the patient's consciousness, otherwise he himself would collapse.

Once he collapses, all of this, all the false utopias, will disappear. This must not happen. Although there is no freedom, although they live in a hypocritical world, although they are isolated from the world, this is the only place that can truly provide a place for all the elderly with incurable mental illnesses to rely on. Here, they can live without worries, without being disturbed, and without being disliked by their loved ones and excluded by society.

If this world of consciousness is stable enough, they can even achieve immortality in a spiritual state.

Unfortunately, the current collective consciousness space is simply unable to do this. He cannot solve the gradual recovery of the consciousness body's self, and can only barely maintain everything by restarting the reincarnation. When the restart comes, all the consciousness bodies in the hospital, including those empty shells of caregivers and nurses, will all be annihilated into powder, leaving only an empty consciousness space, waiting for a new group of people to join.

Therefore, from entering the nursing home until now, the brothers have not seen even a single doctor.

No, except perhaps one person, and that is the "non-human" Mo Lai, the doctor lurking among them. His purpose is actually quite simple, he is still observing them, this is the mission he was created for, but he is also very special because he has become "curious".

The tool born from the consciousness space developed self-awareness, and he could not take it back. He became a special existence that was neither human nor object.

The purpose of the "rats" is actually very simple. They don't want to be trapped in a world that is doomed to destruction.

They are like the opposing debaters in the debate on whether nursing homes should exist in the collective consciousness space. This kind of space does solve the problem of difficulty in providing for the elderly to a certain extent, but on the other hand, nursing homes are openly doing things that are supposedly good for all the elderly under the banner of providing a utopia for them and making decisions for their lives, which is actually a selfish behavior.

The elderly trapped here have the right to know the truth and to say goodbye to their relatives and friends in person, even if it was their relatives and friends who sent them in.

Such an inhumane organization should not exist in this world. The "rats" want to escape from here and make public everything they know. Even if they are doomed to die if they leave here, they are willing to sacrifice their lives in the struggle against all oppression and slavery.

Unfortunately, every previous one fell before dawn, and they were unable to escape before the restart.

Now, this important task falls on the shoulders of these "rats".

Yu Yu couldn't help but take a breath. He didn't know why he felt so stressed.

No, he should feel pressured for Su Xing. After all, he was just pretending to be a "rat".

Su Xing, who was pretending to be a "non-human" but was actually a "rat", had a complicated expression after reading all these inside stories. He originally thought that he was just a consumer who was cheated by a nursing home and had to go through all kinds of difficulties to complain to the Consumers Association, but who would have thought that he would suddenly become a revolutionary pioneer.

No, let alone saying that the doctors in the nursing home are "non-human", every one of them is not human, they are just conscious beings.

“So, you are also a ‘non-human’, I am also a ‘non-human’, he is also a ‘non-human’, and none of us are human anymore, hahaha.” Zhang Yuan casually threw the documents in his hand into the sky, letting all the papers fall like flowers from the sky. Suddenly he realized that he was not a human anymore. He seemed quite happy. He is also a player with status, not a commoner.

After Kai Xin threw the papers away, he found Yu Yu looking at him and laughing. He realized belatedly that he had messed up the evidence, so he immediately squatted down and picked up the papers on the ground: "I'm sorry, Yu Yu, this is the evidence you need, right? I'll pick it up and keep it for you."

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't need these." Yu Yu quickly waved his hand to deny.

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment that he had almost exposed Yu Yu's vest. He chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, you don't need it. You just keep these things for us, haha."

Su Xing, who was having a hard time holding back his laughter, decided to change the subject: "The previous 'rat' has already pointed out the direction of the exit for us. As long as we crack the mechanism behind us, we can escape from this consciousness space. Come on, brothers, let's go and see what kind of mechanism it is that has caused all the people before us to fail."
