Extraordinary pedigree

Xia Xiu's foot ravaged Hilde a few times before letting it go. At this time, Hilde's pale face had already left a very clear shoe print.

"Ahem~"

When Xia Xiu's soles were removed, Hilde couldn't help but start coughing loudly. His nose flaps were beating wildly, and he breathed in fresh air. The pain in his mind, as if he had been struck by an axe, was still stirring. It's affecting his brain, and he can't rest for a moment now.

Clang——

Hilde heard the sound of a bench moving in front of him, and his heart was instantly filled with fear. He raised his head in panic and looked forward.

In front, the blond young man pulled the bench next to him, and then sat down directly. He looked down at Hilde like a bereaved dog, and Hilde couldn't help but look at the other person's golden eyes. Started sweating profusely.

"Don't be so nervous. Just relax. It will be more convenient for us to chat later." Xia Xiu comforted Hilde, who was so nervous that she was shivering, in a warm tone.

"...You are right." Hilde replied with a forced smile.

Looking at Hilde with a forced smile, Xia Xiu didn't pay much attention. He needed to get more information about this dream from this guy before his memory was repaired by the dream, so that it could be single and independent [ Dreamland] has its own set of internal operating rules, which are fundamental to maintaining the existence of the dreamland.

Xia Xiu glanced at the other person's clothes up and down, and then asked:

"What's your name and what's your current occupation?"

"Hilde, sir, my name is Hilde." Hilde quickly replied, and then he continued to say to Xia Xiu:

"My current job is as a [correction security officer] at the [Institution of Truth]. My duty is to correct those patients who have objections to the system of the Institute of Truth and are dissatisfied with the management of the head nurse."

Institute of Truth, Thought Correcter, Head Nurse...

It seems that Atliff's dream is really a mental hospital. Xia Xiu said secretly in his heart.

"Go on, I am very interested in what you are talking about [the Academy of Truth]."

The blond young man crossed his hands and put his chin on the crossed hands. His golden eyes looked at Hilde quietly.

Hilde became even more nervous under the other party's gaze. He raised his head and began to tell the other party what the [Institute of Truth] was.

Xia Xiu sat on the bench and listened quietly to Hilde's description, and soon he determined the core structure of the Institute of Truth.

In this mental hospital, the head nurse has absolute power, and her words are almost equivalent to orders. Patients must abide by hospital rules, otherwise they will be punished, which may include injections of punitive drugs, electric shocks, or even forced confinement.

The head nurse has comprehensive monitoring and control rights, and can even suddenly punish a patient, while other patients have to watch all this obediently.

In this mental hospital, there exists a particularly violent institution, the Thought Corrector.

Their task is to maintain the order of treatment and correct patients' ideological problems, even if they show any abnormal behavior. They will often carry out violent acts to suppress patients, such as forced electroconvulsive treatment, abusive methods, etc., and even Beat the patient to death to let other patients know who is the ultimate truth.

The class divisions in [Truth Hospital] are very clear. The head nurse is the controller of the entire mental hospital and has absolute power, while other staff such as doctors and nurses are in a lower status. The head nurse can decide the treatment and treatment methods of patients at will. , and can even punish and deprive patients of their freedom.

As for why such an absurd power structure exists, of course it’s because this is a dream, or a dream specifically maintained by Atliff. However, sometimes reality is more ridiculous than dreams. It’s not like things like this have never appeared in the real world. Pass.

In addition to the head nurse, she is a violent institution and corrector who maintains stability in the hospital.

Correctors are mainly divided into two categories: one is ordinary correctors who are responsible for investigating and arresting "thorn heads". They wear blue uniforms, also known as "blue robes", and are usually held by other nursing staff in the hospital; The other category is higher-level correctors, known as "black robes". They wear black uniforms and have higher privileges and powers. They are responsible for monitoring and suppressing dissidents in the court.

"Such a high-pressure structural system, it seems that [hide] relies on this to maintain the rule of this dream." Xia Xiu rubbed his chin and said secretly in his heart.

[Dreamland] is a parallel space composed of subconscious mind and imagination. The physical laws in it are very different from reality. In it, dreams are reality. In [Dreamland], in addition to the main four continent areas, other phantom fragment areas They are all self-defined rules. The dream makers set the rules and maintain the rules.

The creators and maintainers of the phantom fragments will gain power from it. After all, dreams are also part of the [Ether Ocean]. Drawing power from dreams is equivalent to drawing power from the [Ether Ocean], but the way it is drawn is different from that of the [Ether Ocean]. A bit convoluted and dangerous for a regular thaumaturge.

"Are you going to report my situation to the head nurse later?" Xia Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Hilde.

In this dream, every new "patient" who enters the dream must stay in Room 101 and undergo a test by the black robes. The black robes will rate them based on the patient's response, from high to low: [Good], [Normal] There are four levels: , [Control], and [Danger].

[Danger]: Patients with serious illness need to wait in 101 for long-term thought correction. Only in this way will the patients become more rational.

[Control]: Relatively dangerous patients need medication assistance and direction persuasion. Patients at this level are in a semi-conscious and semi-awake state. They always think that they are awakened. This is a sign of terminal illness.

[Normal]: Normal patients need to take medicine on time. As long as they take medicine on time, I believe the patient will recover soon.

[Good]: Patients who are in good condition will consciously take their medicine on time, will consciously help the correctors to "cure" other patients, and have the right to enjoy the radio frequency room 24 hours a day.

Oh, the radio room is a room with TV bottles on all sides. The TV in the room will continuously play programs that can make you laugh and forget about time. According to Hilde, even the advertisements inside are very lively and interesting. ah.

"...Yes, we all need to report the situation of new patients to the head nurse. This is necessary, reasonable and correct..." When hearing Xia Xiu's question, Hilde naturally asked He replied.

In his mind, the head nurse is the absolute authority and the rule that cannot be disobeyed.

"So what's my rating?"

The blond young man looked at Hilde with interest, his eyes full of playfulness.

"Think from your perspective, answer me objectively and ideally, what level of patient am I?"

Hilde looked at the blond young man tremblingly. He didn't know whether he should lie. No matter how he looked at the man in front of him, he looked like a terminally ill madman who could not be saved. He was no longer a "dangerous" existence.

"Ah hahaha, of course you are good, you can only be good in this way."

Hilde finally chose to answer "honestly", and his honesty made Xia Xiu feel very satisfied.

"Well, that's good. I like honest people."

Xia Xiu stood up and came to the kneeling Hilde. He wanted her to honestly tell the head nurse the report, otherwise he would not be able to integrate into the dream she had created.

"I need you to tell the head nurse my report. In order to prevent the head nurse from seeing anything unusual, I need you to cooperate with me in doing a small thing."

"You...what do you need me to do?" Hilde looked up at Xia Xiu with confusion.

Xia Xiu looked at Hilde with a smile, and he said to Hilde:

“Have you ever heard of [reset]?”

"Reset??"

Hilde repeated the words Xia Xiu said in confusion. Looking at Xia Xiu with a smile on his face, a strong uneasiness emerged in his heart. He felt that something bad was going to happen next.

And soon, his inspiration was verified.

"Dreams actually exclude people from having lucid dreams. You are more or less awake now. If nothing else happens, you should be [personality reset] by this dream, but you have to reset anyway. Well, instead of letting this dream reset you, why not let me help you."

A soft and magnetic voice, as if with magic, reached Hilde's ears.

Hilde, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the blond young man in confusion. Although the distance between the two of them was so close, he felt that there was an abyss between them. The blond young man's gentle eyes watched quietly. At the same time, he raised his steps and slowly walked towards him.

Under Hilde's gaze, a right hand similar to that of an artist approached him. The light was projected on the ground through the gaps between the fingers, forming some soft light spots. Before he could react, the slender fingers were Buttoned it on his forehead.

"Hilde, see you later."

Xia Xiu's [Absurd Control], which entered the reading mode in advance, had already completed reading the article, and the [Concrete Materialization Process] was launched at this moment.

[Absurd Pollution·Message Bombing]

The messages that Xia Xiu had customized before began to superimpose crazily in Hilde's consciousness. Under such powerful Mi Mu pollution, Hilde's body began to become distorted. At this time, his body and his surrounding environment Like a twisted mosaic, small squares of different colors are constantly flashing alternately, making it colorful.

Poof——

Along with a strange fever sound, a new Hilde appeared in place.

The newly appeared Hild's missing teeth and bruised face had all disappeared. He looked just like the one Xia Xiu had seen before entering Room 101, except that his expression now seemed a little confused.

"Mr. Hilde, are you okay?"

A magnetic voice came to Hilde's ears, and he looked up at the speaker.

In front of him was a young and handsome young man.

His golden mane fell gently on his forehead, shining softly under the light of the room. His eyes were clear and bright, like two stars, exuding a kind and warm light. The closed lips give people a sense of calm. The entire face has clear contours, exquisite facial features, and no flaws. It exudes a charming and handsome temperament.

Well, it was the wound on the forehead that made people more concerned. It looked like it was a new wound.

"The wound on your forehead?" Hilde asked her doubts to the blond young man.

"Oh, I was disturbed and knocked a bit by the dog when I came in."

"That dog really deserves to be beaten!"

"Don't worry, I've already been beaten." The blond young man replied with a warm smile.

I don't know why, but looking at the genial smile of the blond young man, Hilde always felt very at ease and warm. The blond young man in front of him had an indescribable affinity for him.

"By the way, who are you?" Hilde's head was still dizzy at this time.

"I, I'm a new patient." Xia Xiu looked at Hilde pretending to be puzzled and said.

"Yes, that's right. You are a new patient. As usual, you need to come to me for testing first." Hilde covered his dizzy head. He always felt as if he had forgotten something important.

"Yes, we were testing just now. You have personally rated it for me. It is good."

The soft tone of the blond young man reached Hilde's ears again. His dizzy head seemed to have really recalled the test. By the way, he had already completed the test.

The friendly and kind young man in front of me is a patient in good condition.

"Yes, you are in good condition."

"Wait a minute, I'll give you the [good] number plate right now."

A dazed Hilde nodded and said, then he went to a safe in room 101 as usual, entered the password, opened the safe, took out a sign with [Good] engraved on it and handed it to Xia Xiu.

Xia Xiu naturally took the number plate, and then asked Hilde:

"When can I see the head nurse?"

"You can see the head nurse during the patient investigation time every week. Now I have to report to the head nurse. You can go out with the number plate first. The number plate is your pass. Only with him can you [ Action of the Institute of Truth." Hilde replied to Xia Xiu.

"That's right." Xia Xiu said with interest as he tossed the number plate in his hand.

··········

Inside the mental hospital, a gloomy and depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire building.

Along the long corridor, the walls are deliberately painted dark gray, as if to absorb all the light and leave no room for it. People in the hospital, whether they are patients or staff, are all dressed in uniform white clothes, giving people a boring feeling.

And today, a new patient was welcomed here.

The door to the passage in Room 101 was opened, and a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes walked out of the passage with a leisurely expression.
