I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Du Danping said, then suddenly hesitated, swallowed, and looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Lu Ban knew that Du Danping definitely wanted to ask about his future.

But Du Danping also knew very well that once he learned something from Lu Ban, the future would be set.

If something bad happens to you, then there's no way to avoid it anymore.

He remained silent for a moment, then finally asked.

"How is Yunyan doing in your future?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ban remained silent for a moment.

"She's fine."

"……That's good."

Du Danping did not ask any further questions.

He already knew why Lu Ban only mentioned Song Yunyan and didn't say much about himself.

Most likely, he had already passed away during Lu Ban's era.

He felt a little sad, but quickly rallied.

Since everything is going well in Song Yunyan's future, then everything I do from now on will be worthwhile.

He thought for a moment, then took a harmonica out of his pocket.

"This is an extraordinary item I once obtained. It can maintain sanity even amidst pollution. I hope you can deliver it to Yunyan."

Lu Ban took the harmonica, and in his field of vision, the cold and indifferent words of the Silent Place appeared.

【Du Danping's Melodic Fragments 4/4】

He looked closely at the harmonica, and it seemed as if a light was being nurtured within it.

I never expected that the last fragment of Du Danping's melody would be here.

However, after careful consideration, Lu Ban could understand that [Du Danping's Melody Fragments] must have been something left behind by Du Danping.

Now that Du Danping himself is right in front of him, obtaining the final fragment of the melody would be incredibly easy.

Lu Ban saw that the waterfall of words was pouring down again in his field of vision.

Just as he was about to confirm the words, he saw a man standing in the ruins of this utopia, a world that had survived the catastrophe.

The man had dark skin, a tall and thin build, and handsome features. He wore a well-fitting, bright-colored suit and had a very polite demeanor.

He walked slowly toward this place, strolling leisurely, like the only ray of light in a world of decay.

But Lu Ban knew that this was not light, but rather the deepest darkness.

"Come on."

Lu Ban said, and he gave Du Danping a hard shove, causing him to fall into the void between the different realms.

The moment Du Danping disappeared, Lu Ban looked up and saw the dark-skinned man standing within arm's reach, revealing his bright white teeth.

"Got you?"

The next moment, Lu Ban felt a sharp pain in his head and lost consciousness.

……

……

When Lu Ban woke up, he found himself facing an unfamiliar ceiling.

He is not dead.

Lu Ban quickly realized this fact.

It is said that after a person dies, they go to a movie theater to watch their last movie. Only after the curtain falls and the audience disperses will they leave, ending their long life.

Lu Ban is currently lying in bed.

He sat up and realized that he was in what looked like a private hospital room.

Lu Ban was wearing striped pajamas, which were hospital patient gowns.

He felt something on his wrist. He raised his hand and saw that it was a plastic bracelet, light but sturdy.

The bracelet has some basic personal information written on it.

Lu Ban instinctively reached for his phone, but found nothing.

Lu Ban had no idea how he got to this ward or what the "man of darkness" did to him afterwards.

Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open.

A doctor led a nurse into the ward. He was somewhat surprised to see Lu Ban sitting on the bed, but quickly calmed down, came to the bedside, and spoke to Lu Ban.

"how do you feel?"

Lu Ban did not answer.

Because he realized that the doctor in front of him was the dark-skinned man.

That is the [Man of Darkness]!

Chapter 893 The Ward

When Lu Ban realized this, he did not react quickly.

He merely glanced at the nurse beside him.

When Lu Ban saw the nurse, he was stunned once again.

"Feng Yu?"

Because the girl standing next to the "Dark One," dressed in a nurse's uniform, was none other than Feng Yu.

Although he was wearing light makeup, Lu Ban couldn't mistake him for his old classmate, Feng Yu, who had been possessed by an alien creature and impersonated to remain in this world!

"Ok?"

The nurse seemed a little confused, wondering why Lu Ban was calling her name at this moment. She looked at the doctor.

"It's okay, it's normal."

The figure in darkness approached Lu Ban's bedside, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"Mr. Lu, do you remember who you are?"

He asked in a kind tone.

"I am Lu Ban."

Lu Ban answered as a matter of course.

"anything else?"

The figure in darkness inquired earnestly and persuasively.

“I just went through a mission for the Chosen Ones in the wasteland. Everything was settled, but then you suddenly appeared, and that’s how I ended up here.”

Lu Ban said earnestly.

"The mission of the chosen one, is it? You mentioned before that you are a chosen one who will be teleported to various worlds, uh, what you call otherworlds, right? You will go to otherworlds to do missions."

The man in darkness picked up where Lu Ban left off and said.

"Yes."

Lu Ban nodded.

"Could you tell me about this mission?"

The man in darkness showed no sign of surprise and continued talking to Lu Ban.

Lu Ban briefly recounted his experiences in the wasteland. The Dark One had no objections, listening silently and occasionally pointing out details of his experiences while taking notes.

While they were talking, Lu Ban secretly observed the expression on nurse Feng Yu's face.

The girl, who was about the same age as him, did not have Feng Yu's temperament at all. Instead, she listened to Lu Ban's story with a confused and puzzled expression, mixed with some fear.

Lu Ban understood that expression very well.

This is the expression a normal person would have when listening to a mentally ill person recount their feelings.

After saying that, Lu Ban saw the dark figure take notes for a while longer. When he stopped writing, he snapped the pen back into place and put down the notepad.

"Mr. Lu, don't be surprised when you hear what I'm about to say."

The figure in darkness revealed a smile, attempting to reassure Lu Ban.

"Actually, everything you've experienced is just your imagination. There are no alien realms, evil gods, or chosen ones in this world. You're not a well-known director; you're just a college student who's suffering from an illness."

Hearing the words of the dark figure, Lu Ban felt as if he had not expected it.

"You mean those were all my imagination?"

He remained calm and collected, searching for any flaws in the layout.

"That's right. In fact, you've been experiencing these symptoms for a long time. You confuse reality with fantasy and build a logically consistent worldview, adding a lot of plot and characters to it."

The man in the darkness said with a hint of helplessness, then pointed to the sign hanging on his chest.

“Look, my name is Wu Kelei, and my English name is Correa. You’ve projected me into your fantasy as well.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ban checked the other party's exposed card with his eyes, and then glanced at the nurse's chest.

It is indeed Feng Yu.

"Actually, most of the people you encountered in that mission you just mentioned were patients, doctors, staff in the hospital, and people who appear on television."

The dark figure gestured for the nurse to take out the tablet, opened some photos, and handed them to Lu Ban.

Lu Ban took the tablet and saw the photos on it.

He recognized Du Danping at first glance.

"This is Du Danping."

Lu Ban pointed it out.
