178. Where am I?
Kelly kept running, almost to the point of losing consciousness from exhaustion.
But fortunately, the "curve ahead" I experienced today is not a coincidence.
Because when her consciousness was hazy and she almost fell to the ground, the road behind the scenes emerged again.
32°,73°,123°,421°.
She kept turning, jumping at angles that were so weird that they shouldn't even exist. With the weak will left, she kept running away with instinct, escaping from this cage of countless souls, escaping from this devil's cave serving the evil god, escaping from that half-living and half-dead man.
monster.
She stumbled forward, swimming slowly like a newborn tadpole in an illusory world that was no longer a human country.
Kelly stopped, not out of her own will, but because the road had reached the end.
The girl who returned to reality was surprised to find that she was not back outside the castle, nor was she even next to a wall that could be easily climbed.
Logically speaking, it is not surprising that such a weird and curvy road ends anywhere, but the last dream has proved that this road should lead her to where she wants to go.
In other words, it's where she subconsciously wants to go.
Kelly couldn't help but feel confused.
If anyone told anyone about the dream experience she had just now, it would be regarded as the most crazy fantasy. Even she herself could not guarantee that she really carried out long-distance movement that was not restricted by space through some kind of surreal method.
Regardless of the path or the sense of time that does not match the path, modern psychology can explain it as a fantasy caused by a certain disease. Misjudgment of the flow of time is not uncommon among mental patients, and confused hallucinations are the most common.
The phenomenon.
But Kelly wants to believe that she has touched the mysterious edge that she has been pursuing.
But this time it still wasn't the way she expected.
What she was looking forward to was a more fairy tale and less dangerous plot, such as a professor with a good relationship taking out his magic wand, revealing his identity as a magician to Kelly, and inviting her to explore the mysterious world.
There may be exciting battles, touching stories, dangerous monsters, and painful betrayals.
But there should be no half-living demons, no dark gods, no spiritual madness.
She always knew why she wanted to pursue the mysterious existence, because she wanted to prove it!
She wants to prove that her strange vision is not some kind of mental illness. She wants to prove that she is still a normal person and that she is not crazy!
But now, look at what she has experienced. Even the craziest mental patient would not tell such an irrational story. The curve is closer than the straight line? The princess is a corpse? My king, how blasphemous is this?
All the mysteries she came into contact with did not help prove her sanity. Instead, she began to wonder if there was anything wrong with herself. Was everything an unfounded illusion? Her brain had some kind of problem that modern medicine could not explain.
of lesions.
Or maybe she has never seen a doctor at all. The psychiatrist and psychiatrist were all her visions. She has been living like this crazy for countless years.
Or even worse, she had already seen the doctors, and they had made the correct diagnosis. This was not reality at all, but a crazy dream she had in her hospital bed.
Kelly couldn't help but shudder when she thought that all the things she came into contact with might not exist, and her parents might be complete strangers.
After all, is it really possible that Her Highness Veronica in the real world is an ugly corpse? Isn't this the brain warning myself that this is a dream?
She never ran away because she was afraid of the "living" corpse, she was afraid of the horrific truth.
But how does the dreamer know that this is not a nightmare?
Yes, everything around her was logical, and everything was so real that it didn't look like fiction. She couldn't find the slightest doubt in the real world.
But this is also how dreamers view their dreams.
It is possible that she was unable to recall what the real world was like in a state of madness? She mistakenly thought that this irrational world was already very real, but in fact, the real world was completely different from this one.
But those mistakes and omissions would never be discovered until she wakes up.
This is an unsolvable paradox, but it should not be a problem for any human being.
Because there are so many similar crazy hypotheses, in the final analysis there is no need to consider the possibility of existence for something without evidence.
After all, how could ordinary people easily doubt the authenticity of the world they live in, but Kelly was different, she had never been ordinary.
From birth, and even earlier, she was protected from the intrusion of visions, which destroyed the girl's mind before she could overcome and master them.
Kelly knew that her cognition was like a doll that was pieced together and sewn together. It was different from ordinary people and extremely fragile. She spent a lot of time rebuilding it.
This tug-of-war with madness has been going on for so long that she almost gave up.
She was now standing in the center of the auditorium, in front of a simple and deep trap door. This trap door had been opened, and underneath it was a quiet staircase extending downward.
She needs to make a decision whether to enter this place or not.
In other words, do you believe in your so-called "ability"?
Not going in means not believing in your own strength. Of course, not believing in your own strength does not mean completely surrendering to fear.
Because this mysterious power may have been born for some evil reasons, it is parasitizing her body and controlling her to do whatever the master of the power wants.
No, that's not the case!
The vision behind the scenes did destroy herself, but this power never actively harmed her. If she had no reason to doubt her ability, it could only be because she had already worshiped the king named Fear.
Enter? That means believing unconditionally.
If you are really a madman, then this step symbolizes endless madness and the irreversible breakdown of your reason.
Why has she never seen anyone with a similar experience except herself? Why did she happen to see a walking dead just today when the rules of the behind-the-scenes world changed.
Isn't this because her mental illness suddenly worsened today? Isn't it because the madness is gradually eating away at her few lucid consciousness?
Wouldn't it be nice to step back, return to a calm and stable reality, and put the crazy problems aside?
Someone whispered in her ear:
Think about it, the lovely Hala, the kind and knowledgeable Professor Hewen, the silly but affectionate friend Iona, the stubborn pursuer Skyd, the strong girl Lei who just met, and the parents who are full of guilt and deep love.
.
These people are so wonderful and they are waiting for you, what if you walk in and find out they are all fake?
Kelly smiled nonchalantly, when had she ever been so hesitant?
This has never been about the choice between reason and madness, nor about the choice between happiness and danger.
It's just about truth and lies.
She resolutely chose to walk through the trap door.
