The System is Four Years Ahead of Schedule, But Weird is Still a Cub

Chapter 201 A world with different “endings”

The unique "Iron Maiden" coffin makes a sound of flesh being pierced after it is closed. The interior is composed of a large number of nails and hinges, and is commonly known as a human flesh juicer.

"Got you."

"Got you!"

The dean kept repeating these words even after being locked up in the Iron Maiden, but her voice became more and more shrill. It was obvious that the Iron Maiden could no longer hold her.

But this is not surprising. After all, even if the dean is not the boss of maintaining this space, he is also the king of Rongshan Mental Hospital.

Shen Ge was trapped in Rongshan Mental Hospital for such a long time and could not find a way out. This alone proved that the director's level was much higher than before.

The report in the archives office mentioned that the dean had successfully completed level 4 alienation. However, as a level 4 monster, in addition to looking a bit ugly, his combat effectiveness was not much higher than that of level 2 weirdos. This was obviously something wrong.

There is also a possibility...the real Level 4 dean is dead. This is just an illusion of Level 2 in the dream world, so why is his strength so low?

Seeing that the Iron Maiden could not be locked up, Shen Ge immediately materialized several iron chains extending from the ground and tied the Iron Maiden tightly from the outside.

But at this moment, the "three boys" whose heads had been chopped off by the blood droplets he manifested all got up and turned into headless monsters and gathered towards Shen Ge.

"...Good guy, from now on the weirdo's weakness is no longer the head?" Shen Ge originally thought that the weirdo during the Rongshan Mental Hospital period should still be in the research stage, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

Just when Shen Ge wanted to use his last will to get into the mirror world, he found that the entrance had been closed, and he also suffered a huge mental backlash, and he felt like the world was spinning again.

 This is also okay?

but.

Originally, Shen Ge just made a bold assumption and tried it casually. Unexpectedly, he actually tried it out, and the mirror produced a space-distorting reaction.

 I haven’t gone in yet!

Shen Ge's original "bold attempt" immediately turned into plan one, and he was going to send the dean directly to take her away. The space compression that killed the weirdo in the mirror was undoubtedly the best plan!

 After these several tests, Shen Ge has determined that the consumption of mental power in the dream world simulates superpowers>hot weapons>cold weapons.

Now there are only three choices before Shen Ge. One is to use a big shot and exhaust all his mental energy to try to kill the dean; the other is to deal with these headless gangsters first, and then focus on dealing with the dean. ; The third is to choose to leave and try to find other ways out.

“Let’s go!” Shen Ge used his mental power to drag Iron Maiden up. When the dean was about to come out of the coffin, he threw him directly towards the mirror.

"ah?"

Shen Ge thought it over in his mind and suddenly came up with a bold idea. He first created some iron chains to trap the headless trio who were trying to rush up. Then, with the increase in power obtained from "hypnosis", he dragged up the headless trio who were trapped by the iron maiden. The dean who lived there rushed into the children's bedroom next door and smashed the iron maiden in front of the sink.

 Continuing to consume it would be detrimental to Shen Ge. After all, it is always unsafe to use this ability rashly before being sure of the harm of "death reset".

Shen Ge knew that throwing the dean in was a risky move. If the mirror really led to the outside world, it would undoubtedly bring the dead back to life, and he would also be a high-level weirdo!

 “Looks like the bet was right.”

Thinking of this, Shen Ge used up all his mental energy to compress the world in the mirror again, crushing the dean into a small meat pie together with the iron maiden.

The Strange One in the Mirror is an "outsider" like Shen Ge. Shen Ge can move freely in the mirror world for some reason, but the Strange One in the Mirror can only be trapped in the mirror.

　　Next, Shen Ge tried to focus his mental power on the mirror. Before, he compressed the world in the mirror to deal with the weirdo in the mirror, but this time he tried to "open an opening" in the mirror.

Therefore, Shen Ge suspected that the mirror might be the connection point between the dream world and the outside world. He tried to use the power of the mirror world, but unexpectedly a "crack" opened up.

 Opening a hole in the mirror had consumed a lot of Shen Ge's mental energy, and the feeling of dizziness was second only to compressing the space and killing the weirdo in the mirror.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

The Iron Maiden, who was "wrapped" by Shen Ge's mental power, was stuffed into the mirror. Shen Ge wanted to follow her in to see if he could leave the dream world, but he found that he was "blocked" from the outside.

All kinds of non-human powers are classified in the column of superpowers, but silent and intangible are used as examples. The functionality of the latter is far greater than the former, and the consumption of mental power is also greater.

Then, exhausted Shen Ge's eyes darkened and he passed out, and fell asleep "sleepfully" again.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Ge gradually woke up from his drowsiness. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still lying on the floor of the bathroom. He was still a little exhausted and his mental strength was not fully restored.

 Obviously, there was no "death reset" after killing the dean.

Although this is a good thing, Shen Ge originally thought that as the dean was the maintainer of the dream world, as long as he killed it, the world would collapse and he could get out, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

In the dim bathroom, Shen Ge sat up on the stool and glanced at the cracked mirror on the sink.

　　The mirror was still intact when I compressed the space to kill the weirdo in the mirror, but this time when I used it to deal with the dean, cracks appeared on the mirror like a punch.

And you can also see the Iron Maiden and the Dean being crushed into small meat patties in the mirror, with blood dripping down the mirror and onto the sink.

Shen Ge tried to use up his mental energy to open an opening in the mirror again, but unfortunately, as his mental energy was being used up, the phenomenon of opening an opening in the mirror before did not appear.

　　　…”

Shen Ge suddenly felt that this "bold plan" had gone too far. He obviously thought that the weirdo in the mirror could affect the dream world through the mirror, so the reality was that he would insert himself into it to see if he could leave the dream world.

Of course, there is a "risk" in doing this. If the weirdo in the mirror is not dead, Shen Ge will be waiting for Shen Ge to throw himself into the trap to replace him. This is why Shen Ge did not choose to go in and take a look at the beginning. In his opinion, it is safer to find a breakthrough from the dean.

 The most "death reset" will be achieved if you die fighting the dean, but if you fall into the hands of the weirdo in the mirror, you are likely to be completely replaced.

In any case, the biggest threat to the mirror world is now that the dean is gone. Even if he can't leave here for the time being, Shen Ge can try to "explore" it.

After coming out of the bathroom, Shen Ge went straight through the children's room to the classroom. The place was still the same as the previous battle. The headless boys who were beheaded by him were tied to the ground with chains. After the dean died, these headless boys The weirdo seemed to die as well.

With the dean as the biggest threat, Shen Ge no longer had to climb the ventilation duct, and walked through the dark corridor to the stairs with a flashlight.

Going down the stairs, the floor number at the corner indicates that this is the third floor, and the second floor down is the floor of the ward where Shen Ge first entered the dream world.

 In other words, the first floor that Shen Ge originally thought was actually the second floor. He discovered that the operating room of the headless pig weirdo was on the fourth floor, and the pregnant weirdo was on the fifth floor.

Shen Ge did not rush to the first floor to try to see if he could leave Rongshan Mental Hospital. Instead, he went to the fourth and fifth floors first. However, no trace of the weirdo was found in the operating room, not even the strange ones he encountered when he entered the dream world for the first time. Those "white coats" were nowhere to be seen. Apart from him, there were only various weird experimental subjects left in the whole building.

Shen Ge took advantage of the light-sensitive and non-light-sensitive characteristics of these weird experimental bodies to easily lead them away with a few flashlights, and then found them in the archives to check.

Except for some clues about the Eccentric Association found in the dean's office, the rest are basically patient data and research data from Rongshan Mental Hospital, and there is not much useful information.

 But Shen Ge still wrote down this information, preparing to check the conditions of these patients in "reality" after leaving the dream world.

 After checking the information, Shen Ge came to the first floor of the mental hospital. The door of the narrow and dark lobby was locked, and a mummy wearing a nurse's uniform lay lying on the front desk.

Shen Ge stepped forward to check and found nothing special, so he came to the door and pried it open with the embodied equipment. There were overgrown weeds in the yard, and it was raining lightly in the sky. Shen Ge tried to catch a few drops of rain with his hands. The coldness and touch of the rain were very real, so real that Shen Ge couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.

Shen Gegu put on a raincoat and walked through the yard to the gate.

　　Boom!

At this time, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and a thunder exploded. At the moment when the lightning flashed, the **** red letters "Rongshan Mental Hospital" on the peeling paint sign next to the iron gate were particularly scary.

There were two black cars parked at the gate. Shen Ge still remembered that these were the cars that took him up the mountain when he entered the dream world for the first time.

Shen Ge approached the car and checked it. The door was locked and there was no key in the car. But this didn't bother him. He showed some tools, easily opened the door and started the car.

Such a skillful operation stunned Shen Ge who was sitting in the car. If I remember correctly, he didn't know how to drive... But even if Dominic came, he would have to give in to this operation.

Shen Ge raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, wondering if he had lost the memory of attending Hawaii Vocational and Technical College.

In any case, Shen Ge saved the mental energy to "hypnotize" himself into driving, started the black car and drove down the mountain.

Driving on the narrow mountain road, some memories of Rongshan Mental Hospital flashed through Shen Ge's mind. Strangely, the environment and the "white coat" that appeared in the picture were the same as those he had met in the dream world these few times. Big discrepancy.

Shen Ge had also tried to find the "underground research institute" in Rongshan Mental Hospital before, but there was no "collapse" of the invisible realm and he could jump directly to the next floor, and it was not that easy to find a hidden entrance.

Therefore, between staying in Rongshan Mental Hospital or going down the mountain first to see the difference between Rongshi at this time and Rongshi in "memory", Shen Ge chose the latter.

boom!

Just when Shen Ge was lost in thought, the car turned a corner and hit a big tree on the side of the road. The air bag was deployed and Shen Ge almost fainted.

“…” Shen Ge felt like he was suffocating. He thought that he was really not suitable for driving. He suddenly missed an artificial intelligence that was proficient in autonomous driving.

 The car was scrapped, and Shen Ge could only get out of the car and consume mental energy to "hypnotize" his wounds to heal quickly.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Shen Ge pulled down the hood of his raincoat, took out his flashlight, turned it on, and continued walking down the mountain road.

From time to time, thunder exploded in the sky, and lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the woods on both sides of the mountain road. It looked particularly scary, and it also made it very strange for a ten-year-old child to walk alone on the mountain road with a flashlight.

If this were to happen in the real world, and a car going up or down a mountain collided with it, it would probably use the brake as an accelerator and fly down the mountain directly.

After walking for several hours, Shen Ge came out of the mountains. Not far away was Quanshan Village, which had not yet been demolished. The few buildings there made the place look like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Shen Ge searched around and found no one in the abandoned building, not even weirdos or weirdos, let alone people. Instead, there were many unknown insects crawling around.

Shen Ge is not an entomologist, and he doesn't have Xiaoqi's classmates to scan and explain. Naturally, he doesn't know what these bugs are, but since these bugs look weird and he has never seen them before, he always feels that they have something to do with the "parasitic weirdness" , I found a bottle, put one in it, and continued walking towards the city.

This area, which was later known as Donghuanhu Park, was only a few dozen minutes' drive from downtown Rong City. However, Shen Ge had to walk because his car lost his car, and the time consuming suddenly doubled several times.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier. The Rongquan Road that has not yet been repaired is muddy, and the woods on both sides of the road have not been planned, causing some weeds to grow into the middle of the road.

“That’s not right, Rongshan Mental Hospital was built more than ten years ago, and Rongshan Road was planned in the early 2000s. It shouldn’t be a dirt road.”

As a native of Rong City, Shen Ge has to rely on mobile phone maps to travel in the city, but he is still very aware of some major renovations in the city.

This place does not look like the suburbs of Rong City more than ten years ago. Instead, it looks like the suburbs of Rong City decades ago, which is somewhat weird.

The light rain gradually turned into a downpour, and Shen Ge's speed was greatly affected. After finally walking into the city, he found that the Third Ring Road was desolate inside and outside. The strangest thing was... the "Third Ring Bridge" in his impression "There is not even a shadow at this time.

"Is it because of the rules of the strange space that the time and space here are out of order?" Shen Ge felt something was wrong. After all, if the urban area was Rong City decades ago, then Rongshan Mental Hospital could not be more than ten years old. What it looked like years ago.

 Unless, similar to the situation in Yuzhou, there is a situation of "multiple mysterious spaces", and each area is a timeline.

If this is the case, then according to the Stranger in the Mirror, this is an "ending" where every area is Earth-2.

Shen Ge continued to walk forward for another two hours. The strange sight in front of him immediately confirmed his suspicion. This place is indeed a chaotic time and space, and each area has a different scene.

 Because what appeared in front of him was not the Rong City of a few decades ago, but more like the Rong City of a few decades later, where even a certain unfinished landmark building had been built.

In the center of the urban area where tall buildings stand, a round building reaches straight into the sky, looking particularly eerie against the backdrop of heavy rain and lightning.

What Shen Ge couldn't figure out was that even if this area was in the "future" time and space, who was so generous as to contract this unfinished building and even built it?

Shen Ge was walking on the streets of the city. There was still no one around, but there were many parasitized people with fleshy petals and scorpion tail heads wandering the streets.

Shen Ge quickly attracted the attention of the parasitized person. In order to save his mental energy, Shen Ge did not go on a killing spree. Instead, he climbed up to the roof of the building with the help of the equipment displayed and walked towards the city center from above.

When entering the "First Ring", Shen Ge discovered that something was wrong. The central area was surrounded by a wall, and a "moat" was dug outside and an iron fence was built.

 It’s just that most of the buildings are in dilapidated condition, with gaps in walls and iron fences everywhere, as if they had experienced a war.

 The situation in the central area is not much better than outside the wall. There are more parasites and weirdos than in the urban area outside. It looks more like the center of a disaster.

Shen Ge somehow thought of the "shelter plan" proposed by the Rong City boss when he participated in Liu Zongrui's group's wine party -

The central area of ​​Rong City was fenced off and built into a shelter, and then managed by them, the people in power in Rong City, to keep all dangers out of the fence.

“Could this be the end of a ‘sanctuary’ being built here?” Shen Ge walked through the tattered wall into the downtown area with doubts and walked towards the landmark building.

 Judging from the scene in front of him, the "Shelter Project" not only failed, but also basically coincided with the situation that Shen Ge judged at the beginning, and became the center of a strange outbreak.

Although the Shizhong District is not big, the degree of "chaos" in time and space is even greater than what Shen Ge encountered along the way. However, there are almost no living people in each area, leaving only the strange pursuit of the parasitized person.

Perhaps because he devoured a large number of parasites and similar creatures, Shen Ge discovered among these strange things the fourth-level strangeness that had completed four times of alienation.

These high-level strange "smells" are very keen. Shen Ge was discovered as soon as he entered the central area, and they immediately gathered towards his location.

 Fortunately, the problem of weird "cannibalism" has not been solved in the dream world. These high-level weirdness are just sweet buns in the eyes of the other party. When they met, he started fighting without waiting to deal with Shen Ge.

Shen Ge took this opportunity to walk through the ruins area and entered near the central landmark tower. After walking in, he observed this high-rise building that was "unfinished" in the original world. It can only be said that the boss who proposed the "Shelter Plan" had a lot of ideas and indeed put this into consideration. The building was handled very well.

No matter how well it is handled, after the weird outbreak, this place has become a toy for monsters, like a corn cob that has been gnawed by a dog.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

Looking at the corn cobs in front of him, Shen Ge had a vague illusion of "déjà vu" in his mind, as if he had been here before.
