This is a very strange city.

Although the rows of tall buildings and the brightly lit city skyline are almost the same as Jiangnan City, and are also storms and lightning, as if the whole world is swallowed by floods and thunder, Li Yao is still recognized by the humid and hot climate and the tropical plants on the roadside. This place is closer to the south than Jiangnan City. During his coma, they escaped at least a thousand kilometers.

Sure enough, Ms. Gray Mist told Li Yao that this is a provincial capital city in the southern hilly area and a transportation hub for four or five surrounding provinces. It is very convenient to take various means of transportation from here to all parts of the country and even abroad. More importantly, the geological structure of this area is very stable. There has never been a large-scale natural disaster in history. Whether it is earthquakes, heavy rains, floods, or hail, it is even more uncommon, and tsunamis and storms are nothing.

According to the "Red Pole Star", if the "will of the earth" is willing to pay a huge price, in theory, it can certainly erase such a big city that is deeply inland and extremely stable, but forcibly creating a natural disaster that is impossible is considered "going against the will of heaven", which will consume too much of its power and may lead to its failure in the "Great Universe War", so they are temporarily safe.

Sure enough, although there was heavy rain and some low-lying streets here have accumulated water, the normal operation mechanism of the city has not been affected and has not yet reached the point of complete paralysis.

The destination of Li Yao and his group is a secret office of the Ark Foundation in the downtown area of ​​the city.

It is called a "secret office", but it has public concealment on the surface. It is a very high-end psychological counseling club called "spiritual space".

Ms. Gray Mist told Li Yao that the Apocalypse may not have no idea that "Spirit Space" is a branch of the Ark Foundation, but the same thing is said, the downtown area is their best cover. If the Apocalypse attacks here regardless of everything and makes the awakened and superpowers clear to the world, it will stimulate the confused human society, and may "cancer cell mutations" will occur, which is definitely not what the "Lower Will" hopes to see.

What's more, most of the doctors and staff in the "spiritual space" are ordinary people who know nothing about the truth. Similar peripheral institutions are spread all over the world. Even if one is destroyed, it will not have much impact on the Ark Foundation's hidden in the deep sea.

"This ambush, the Apocalypse organization was also suffering a lot of casualties. It is estimated that the hunters will take at least twenty-four hours to gather enough manpower again and launch a second wave of attacks."

Ms. Gray Mist said to Li Yao, "We are here for a night of rest and waiting for the awakening of several nearby provinces - the prison breaker comes to support, set off again tomorrow morning, heading south and crossing the border. Of course, there are also a batch of advanced equipment here that can conduct preliminary testing on you."

"How do you test it?"

Li Yao immediately became alert.

Although he is more inclined to the Ark Foundation and has a vague intimacy and familiarity with the Red Pole Star, it does not mean that he likes to be uncovered secrets in his soul to "detect".

"rest assured."

Ms. Gray Mist said, "It won't be too difficult - we have a very special patient here. I hope you can treat him and relieve his troubles, that's it."

"ah?"

Li Yao was stunned, "Wait, what does it mean? Isn't it a test? Why did it turn into a treatment again? Besides, I'm not a psychiatrist, how could I treat your patients? What's going on?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know, this is the instructions from the Red Polestar."

Ms. Gray Mist said, "Red Polestar said, 'If you are really you, then you must know how to treat this patient'."

Li Yao became more and more confused, but no matter how much he asked, Ms. Gray Mist was also confused.

Everyone entered the building and took the elevator to the "spiritual space" on the 13th floor.

This place is not a professional mental therapy institution, but is just set up to relieve stress and vent negative emotions in modern people. It looks like a classically decorated monastery. On both sides of a corridor filled with light green light are four or five "compression-relieving rooms" of different styles. At this moment, most of the rooms are empty, and there is only one in the innermost room. A middle-aged man with black eyes, swollen eyes, restlessness, and anxious and excited.

If it weren't for his trance and his eyes were confused, this middle-aged man could be considered handsome and had a serious and elegant temperament in every move. According to Li Yao's guess, he should have been engaged in an education profession and did quite successfully.

Sure enough, the information handed to him by Ms. Huiwu showed that this middle-aged patient named "Zhang Jiashu" was the training director of the No. 12 Middle School in the city. Before serving as the training director, she worked as a class teacher for many years. She was serious and responsible in her work, treated students strictly but was not without concern. The students' admission rate was very high. She had won the title of municipal outstanding educator many times. She was a good teacher with a reputation. She was upright, determined, principled, and had a very happy family. She was the object of envy of colleagues and leaders. Logically speaking, there should not be psychological problems.

Of course, there is no reason for mental illness.

"What's wrong with this Teacher Zhang?"

Li Yao looked at the distance through the door and found that the director Zhang Jiashu was tilting his neck and focused on the ventilation duct above the "compression decompression room". His eyes were dripping, and he had no demeanor to be a role model. Instead, he looked like a thief who was stealing.

This kind of temperament that looks very...worry, I always feel very familiar with it, and it seems like I have seen it somewhere.

"Teacher Zhang woke up, but his awakening was very strange, unlike the conventional awakened person we found. It seemed to be polluted by something...external, awakening memories and souls that do not belong to him."

Ms. Huiwu handed over a medical record and said, "As you can see, Teacher Zhang was originally a very decent, kind and traditional person. She had a happy family and a successful career. She can be regarded as a winner in this life. Generally speaking, such people rarely awaken.

"However, according to Teacher Zhang's self-report, one day he confiscated a cell phone of a student while inspecting the classroom. At that time, the student was secretly reading novels on his mobile phone in class. Naturally, this kind of thing is never allowed. If he was confiscated, there was nothing to say. Anyway, he would be returned to the student by the end of the semester.

"However, after Mr. Zhang confiscated the student's cell phone, he glanced at it by chance. With just one glance, he was attracted by the novel on his cell phone. In his own words, "It seems like he was entering a demon's cave." It took about a week to read all the novels of millions of words.

"The novel that the student secretly read was naturally not a world-class masterpiece, but an online novel. Teacher Zhang himself graduated from the Chinese department and taught Chinese. He rarely read these things... In his original words, "short-made, cheating gods and ghosts", but this time, somehow, this novel seemed to have terrifying magic, which made him day and night, forget to eat and sleep, and even didn't even care about his job.

"Of course, just this is not enough to make Teacher Zhang ask psychiatrists and psychological counselors for help.

"A few days after reading this online novel, Teacher Zhang had a small high fever, had a nightmare for two or three days, and then he had many very strange habits."

Li Yao was so stunning that he couldn't help but say, "What habit?"

“Drill sewers and ventilation ducts.”

Ms. Huiwu said, "According to Teacher Zhang's self-report, after this fever, he seemed to have a sleepwalking problem. He often sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night, uncovered the manhole cover in the community, drilled into the sewer to run and explore. It seemed that only in a narrow, dark and stuffy space could he feel like a fish in water and extremely comfortable.

"At the end, not only at night, even when he was very awake in broad daylight, he couldn't help but think about the ventilation system of each building, thinking about how he could climb in without knowing it - and really put it into action.

"Teacher Zhang told us that he really got into the ventilation ducts of several buildings, trying to avoid the eyes and ears of everyone and invade the tightest space. Every time he escaped, he would sweat a cold sweat. As a teacher, if he was caught in the ventilation duct and could not explain clearly, he could really be ruined, but he just couldn't help it, the impulse that originated from the depths of his soul."

Li Yao: "Uh..."

"And, it's temperament."

Ms. Huiwu continued, "Teacher Zhang was originally very popular with her classmates in school. Although she had to be a harsh position like the "Director", she still impressed many students with her integrity and elegance. However, according to his self-report and our secret investigation, many students did believe that Teacher Zhang has become... lewd, treacherous, and cunning in recent times, and will use many despicable and shameless tricks to deal with students. She can understand the tricks of those "bad students" clearly, and is even worse than "bad students", which makes many students complain.

"But sometimes, he seems to have insufficient brains, his IQ suddenly drops, and he will blurt out some very naive words, which will turn from a high school coaching director to a mindless junior high school student."

Li Yao: "And, is there such a thing?"

"There are those nightmares. Although the fever has long subsided, it still lingers around him, making him unable to sleep well for several days and nights. Often, when he closes his eyes and opens his eyes, he finds himself in the ventilation duct or sewer. Teacher Zhang has no choice but to go to see a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said that he is middle-aged, and his life is not harmonious, and his desire cannot be vented. Subconsciously, he finds sewers and ventilation ducts as... a substitute for his wife, you know."

Ms. Huiwu said, "Teacher Zhang scoffed at this statement, but the problem does exist and he has to treat it. After searching for it, he found us."

"etc--"

Li Yao frowned and said, "Let me ask first, what is the name of the online novel that Teacher Zhang read before he fell ill?"

"You should have guessed."
