Me? The director of the Asylum of All Heavens!

Chapter 2 Where does this come from?

"I am..." Lin Zizhi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar blonde female teacher in front of him in confusion.

In the empty hospital, time and space seemed to be frozen, and the silence was frightening.

"How about this, let's change the question. Do you think the environment you live in now is real?" The blonde female teacher walked towards Lin Zizhi step by step.

"Have you ever had that feeling where you don't know whether you are awake or dreaming?"

As she walked slowly, the scene behind her gradually collapsed, like the chain explosions in a Paris street cafe when the dream collapsed in "Inception", but there were more lightning-like patterns of red and purple intertwined in the sky.

"Have you ever wondered why you have never seen other staff members in this huge hospital? You can't remember anyone's appearance except the patients. Everyone's face seems to be covered with thick mosaics."

"Have you ever thought that the illogical jumps in your life aren't because you're sleepwalking, but because you're always living in a dream?"

The scene behind the blonde teacher was falling apart, and her disguise was gradually falling off.

The first thing that catches your eye is the bright lipstick on her lips that is so exaggerated that it looks like she wants to eat a child, and the second thing that catches your eye is the iconic red and blue twin ponytails.

This reminded Lin Zizhi of a character in an anime - Harley Quinn.

"No, it can't be! I must be dreaming! No, I'm not dreaming!"

Lin Zizhi spoke incoherently.

Harley Quinn had already walked in front of him. She spread out her palm, with a blue Rubik's Cube hidden in it.

"Last question, how does the Rubik's Cube hide the key?"

Lin Zizhi was stunned where he was. In his opinion, the Rubik's Cube was difficult to solve, so it would be perfect to use it to hide the key to the handcuffs, so that he wouldn't run around while sleepwalking and couldn't solve the problem.

But looking at the Rubik's Cube in front of him, which was a whole piece with no storage space at all, Lin Zizhi suddenly discovered the biggest logical loophole.

The Rubik's Cube is just a toy, there is no space to hide the key.

Lin Zizhi's muddled mind finally became a little clearer. He took the Rubik's Cube and calmly and skillfully put the colors of the six faces back in place.

Watching the Rubik's Cube turn from blue to red, Lin Zizhi raised his lips slightly:
"I am myself, and all this is my dream."

In an instant, the Rubik's Cube began to spin wildly. Amidst the strobing purple and red flashes, Lin Zizhi suddenly woke up from a simple operating table.

He struggled to get up, but found himself firmly locked to the operating table by elastic leather restraints and a strange top hat on his head.

The incandescent lamp above my head flashed a dazzling white light with unstable voltage.

There seemed to be a lot of wounds under the bandages on his body, and there was no part of his body that didn't hurt.

"I... where... am I?" Lin Zizhi felt that the splitting headache was even more unbearable than the pain in his body. He wanted to cover his head, but with one force he broke the leather restraints with one hand.

Lin Zizhi threw away his hat and covered his splitting headache.

The top hat fell to the ground and spun around a few times before finally covering an empty syringe, leaving only a small amount of fluorescent purple liquid in the syringe on the ground.

"Hi, Mr. Lin. Welcome back to the real world."

In the dim shadows, Harley Quinn discovered that Lin Zizhi had woken up, and excitedly wanted to rush over, but she was stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Lloyd Folger.

"Be careful, he's not the man we know."

Looking at the deep and calm eyes of the man who had just awakened, Lloyd Foldger felt that he was being deeply analyzed from the inside out.

Lin Zizhi is obviously confused about the current environment, but he still habitually observes and analyzes everything around him, especially analyzing the psychology of people around him from the perspective of a psychiatrist.

Harley Quinn didn't believe it, but she couldn't ignore the intuition of a top spy.

She turned her head to look at another person, a thin, bald man with a hooked nose, sitting on a folding chair not far away, his chin supported by his hands.

"If you are worried about his sudden surge of violent anger, I can only say that it is a normal reaction to using the glimmer. As for whether the body that possesses this power is a familiar friend of yours, or some evil devil, I have no idea."

The bald man had horrible scars from burns on his face, and the half of his face hidden under the high collar of his clothes seemed to be wrapped in a little bandage.

As he spoke, he stood up and slowly backed away, as if trying to hide in the darkness to avoid possible danger.

Lloyd Folger glanced at him but ignored him.

'When people lack a sense of security, they will subconsciously look for a safe escape route, but this direction is still far from the door, unless there is a secret door he left here. If the situation is not right later, you can try to break out from this direction.'

Lin Zizhi tried to analyze useful information from the unfamiliar environment.

"Hi~Mr. Lin...Mr. Lin, do you...still remember me?"

Harley Quinn forced an awkward smile and waved to Lin Zizhi cautiously. "Harley Quinn."

While Lin Zizhi struggled to free his other hand, he coldly observed the blonde beauty in front of him with exaggerated makeup and strange behavior.

He recognized that this was Harley Quinn who had approached him disguised as a female doctor in his dream, but the color of the ends of her twin ponytails was not the red and blue color scheme in his dream, but the red and black color scheme that was more like the classic style.

Red and blue should be the same meaning in dreams, symbolizing reality and illusion.

"I was dreaming."

Lin Zizhi frowned and tore at the restraints on his body in annoyance.

"See! He knows me! But he looks a little grumpy."

Harley Quinn jumped up excitedly, not caring at all about Lin Zizhi's indifferent attitude.

"The other one also knows you." Lloyd Folger reminded carefully, his whole body still tense.

Lin Zizhi observed the woman who claimed to be Harley Quinn.

At this time, Harley Quinn was wearing a pair of goggles on her head, a black T-shirt with dark red clown graffiti, a leather jacket full of metal rivets, and slightly grayish brown overalls.

Although the overall dressing style still has some rebellious punk elements, this low-key color combination does not seem to be in line with her usual flamboyant personality.

Maybe it has something to do with the environment here. Dark-colored clothes are more resistant to dirt, and overalls and leather jackets are more wear-resistant. It seems that the environmental pollution here is very serious and her situation is not very safe.

As for wind goggles, they are generally used to protect the eyes from wind, dust, and harmful substances. The stains on the glasses are not just for decoration.

Could it be that Harley Quinn has been doing some chemistry experiments lately?
A punk-style chemist named Harley? What kind of weird OC setting is this? Where the hell am I? Is this really Harley Quinn?
Seeing the glasses, Lin Zizhi suddenly realized that although he was not wearing glasses, everything in front of him was extremely clear, which made him doubt the authenticity of the scene.

"I guess I'm shortsighted..."

He held out his palm and tested his vision in front of his eyes.

At this moment, Harley Quinn's eyes turned and she thought of something. She pointed at Lloyd Folger and asked, "What about him? Do you know him?"

Lloyd Folger's face darkened slightly, and his hand reached for his waist inconspicuously.

"A gray-green suit? Short flaxen hair? With you? A sane clown? No, a clown's suit should be purple."

Lin Zizhi looked at the man with cold eyes and couldn't figure out who he was.

But he could sense from the man's body language the distrust of him and a hint of hostility that he was deliberately hiding.

Especially after watching himself tear off the restraints, this man has been maintaining a posture of being ready for battle.

At this moment, Lloyd Folger was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected this answer, but he still did not let his guard down.

"Ding ding ding ding, this is Dusk from the world of "Spies", the most powerful spy of the Western Kingdom against the Eastern Kingdom! In order to complete a mysterious mission, he used the alias Lloyd Folger and sneaked into the Eastern Kingdom to become a psychiatrist. By the way, his cooking skills are so good that even Alfred praised him highly!"

Harley Quinn excitedly set off a firework that she had taken out from somewhere and solemnly introduced Lloyd Folger.

"Damn it, if you guys aren't cosplaying, then I must still be dreaming! I'm actually seeing fictional characters from anime appear in front of me?"

Lin Zizhi frowned and said to himself.

'But why are the characters in Japanese comics related to the characters in American comics? If I remember correctly, isn't Alfred Batman's butler?'

Lin Zizhi was removing the bandages on his body while looking around vigilantly.

At first I thought I was in a mental hospital, but now it seems like I just had an operation?
But which decent hospital uses restraints to restrict patients' movements?

In the dim light around him, Lin Zizhi could still see clearly that on a workbench in the distance, there were bottles and jars filled with strange potions. Several of the jars contained unknown biological specimens.

'This isn't a hospital, this is Frankenstein's laboratory, right? Am I still dreaming? But what's with this terrible headache? I've never heard of such realistic pain in a dream.'

Soon the bandages on Lin Zizhi's body were torn to pieces, revealing the hideous wounds on his body that were gradually healing.

Seeing that he was free again, Lloyd Foldger frowned slightly, stood in front of Harley Quinn unnoticeably, and slowly grasped the pistol behind him.

"Haha! I got you!"

Suddenly, the door of the simple operating room was violently kicked open.

A group of thugs dressed in punk style broke into the simple operating room with several portraits.
