I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Li Zijian was puzzled.

Lu Ban did not continue speaking.

If I speak again, I won't be able to swallow the grass in my mouth.

His body is now almost entirely filled with various green plants that are trying to heal his wounds, which include not only the external injuries caused by the elevator fall, but also the pollution from the cement that had previously eroded his body.

However, since there is no sun yet, the grass inside Lu Ban's body can only barely repair his fatal wounds, preventing him from dying suddenly due to a chain reaction.

He looked around at the ruins, the broken walls and rubble like the desolate wasteland of a ruined city, and the system's indifferent and cold words emerged from the dust.

Welcome back to the Silent Land!

In Lu Ban's eyes, these words gradually disappeared.

Thirteen thousand points, which is three hundred less than the previous 100% exploration progress, so the remaining three percent doesn't seem to be that valuable.

However, Lu Ban was still curious as to what secrets he had not yet discovered.

Only then did he remember that the man who had guided Dean Zhao Gongping in the ritual to summon the monster was named Correa.

That person seemed to possess more than just that much occult knowledge, and he wasn't some charlatan trying to swindle people, but a genuine individual with knowledge of otherworldly realms.

"Is it another chosen one? Or is it an existence that has always existed in this world?"

Lu Ban recalled what Trist had mentioned: some chosen ones would gradually lose themselves and their principles as human beings during missions in other realms, thus becoming beings more terrifying than monsters.

Perhaps that man felt the same way.

After all, this man named Correa had never appeared in the hospital records. He suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Gongping, then suddenly disappeared, and then they met again many years later. He seemed like a chosen one who came to this world to do a mission.

Lu Ban decided to keep an eye on it.

It was already past five o'clock, and the sky was already beginning to lighten.

Under the sunlight, Lu Ban could feel the plants inside his body wriggling, repairing the wounds on his body.

As if reborn, he saw the ruins of the hospital gleaming in the sunlight. In the Reality View, something vanished along with the sunlight.

Lu Ban couldn't say for sure whether the explosives could actually kill the monster, but he could deduce that the monster, tormented by the delirium, had gone mad and was constantly expanding. At this moment, it had not truly and completely descended into this world and was still subject to certain constraints.

At the same time, the mother's final obsession allowed her child's consciousness to remain within the monster's body, thus diminishing the monster's power.

The child and the monster were in a symbiotic relationship, which is impossible under normal circumstances.

The offspring of a great being from a distant land could have devoured the will of a child in a matter of moments, but unexpectedly, she survived.

Furthermore, she and the monster are two sides of the same coin, sharing life and death, and can even share a portion of power.

This is why those who were devoured by the monsters were still able to retain a sliver of consciousness and send information to Lu Ban, and why some workers were able to save the streamer who had mistakenly entered the fifth floor.

New life and destruction go hand in hand.

Therefore, Lu Ban's final choice was... to kill the child.

Only by killing her will the monster lose its foothold in this world, be rejected by the world, and fall into mediocrity.

No one noticed that the elevator's pristine mirror had been smashed at some point.

For Lu Ban, he still hoped to fulfill the mother's long-cherished wish and save the child.

But just as that mother was willing to sacrifice everything for her child, the child, through years of observation, also came to understand his own existence.

Despite the many disagreements, hospitals are still places for saving lives and healing the wounded.

Where there is light, there is hope.

Even when they are in darkness, some people will always look up to the light.

Back home, Lu Ban felt extremely tired.

Not only because he didn't sleep all night, but he also went to the hospital and carried out a major demolition.

More than anything, it's mental exhaustion.

As Lu Ban sank deep into the cement, the obsessions and cries of the dead, and the will dominated by the monster, all flowed into his body.

If it were someone else, they might have already turned into a monster shape, stuffed full.

But Lu Ban was, after all, a seasoned and experienced chosen one, and he shouldered all the burdens.

"Speaking of which, if that child had grown up normally, he would probably be about my age by now?"

Lu Ban placed a small shard of mirror on the table. It was a fragment of the mirror in the elevator, only the size of a palm, and still as clean as new.

Nanhua Private Renji Hospital was established at the end of the last century, about 22 years ago. It's about the same age as Lu Ban. If that child had been born and grown up normally, he would be a recent college graduate now.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, took off his tattered clothes, and went into the bathroom.

Lu Ban in the mirror looked somewhat surprised, as if he had noticed something different about Lu Ban.

He turned on the shower, letting the hot water flow over his entire body, and the vegetation around his wounds grew even more lush as the water nourished it.

Sunlight, water, air, and nutrients are the essential elements for Lu Ban to sustain life.

"At this time, lying in a sun-drenched pool might help with faster recovery."

He muttered to himself.

After changing his clothes, Lu Ban returned to his room. Ignoring the subsequent tasks, he opened the curtains, letting the sunlight flood his room. He lay down to sleep without covering himself with anything.

In the afternoon, as the sun dipped below the horizon, bathing the room in a golden glow, Lu Ban finally regained some consciousness.

He felt a little heavy on his shoulders.

"It's him again?"

Lu Ban lowered his head and looked at the black mist swirling around his chest.

But soon, Lu Ban discovered that next to the black fog, there was also a gray fog.

"?"

Strange and eerie things have increased.

The two wisps of mist looked like two curled-up cats, unconsciously vying for a place to sleep.

"Could it be..."

Lu Ban recalled the words he had read before.

Strange things attract each other.

If you find a strange object in your home, it means there is definitely more than one strange object in your home.

Those who possess clairvoyance will inevitably encounter strange and mysterious things.

This is why the protagonists in horror movies always encounter ghosts, and even in sequels and sequels.

So, did these cohabiting partners in your own home attract other cohabiting partners?

After a while, Lu Ban might wake up to find his bed covered in these colorful mists, leaving him nowhere to sleep.

The thought of that kind of cat slave life sent chills down Lu Ban's spine.

This problem must be solved!

He jumped up, and the two wisps of mist immediately vanished, disappearing into the closet and under the bed.

Lu Ban searched around but couldn't find them, so he decided to lie down and pretend to be asleep.

After a while, the two wisps of mist gathered again on Lu Ban's chest.

"Hehe, got you guys!"

Lu Ban immediately raised his hand, trying to grab the two wisps of mist.

But they vanished at the speed of light, leaving Lu Ban scratching his head in the room.

His phone vibrated and rang.

Lu Ban glanced at the caller ID; it wasn't Feng Yu, but police officer He Youwu.

"Hello? What's up?"

Lu Ban asked, "Could it be that another psychopathic killer has targeted me?"

"What are you doing? I received another complaint from your neighbor saying that you were doing sit-ups on the bed with the curtains open and naked."

"?"

Lu Ban immediately covered himself with the blanket.
