I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

But Lu Ban's brain wouldn't do that, which made him like a computer that was constantly filling its hard drive with download software, so full that its shape changed, and it would often crash.

This leads to mental health issues.

Under guidance, Lu Ban would transform the people he saw on television and the words he read in newspapers into delusions, which is Lu Ban's explanation of the "Silent Place".

The doctor also said that the reason Lu Ban was always able to escape danger in those exotic adventures and never went mad was precisely because he was the master of these delusions.

When Lu Ban's exceptionally powerful memory, meticulous logical thinking, and a slight mental issue collide, it becomes what it is today.

Everything is reasonable.

After all, compared to otherworldly realms, ancient rulers, evil gods, or supernatural powers, the explanation of being mentally ill is more in line with common sense.

It would be madness to actually believe that such extraordinary powers exist in this world.

Lu Ban was still watching with great interest as people fell into the water on TV, and everyone was laughing happily when there was a knock on the ward door, and someone pushed the door open and entered.

Feng Yu is in the form of a nurse.

She was carrying a tray; she had come to deliver food to Lu Ban.

Patients like him seem to have a specially planned diet and don't need to go to the cafeteria.

Or rather, they are not allowed to go to the cafeteria.

"We have basa fish today. Although it should be boneless, we still have to be careful when eating it."

Feng Yu reminded them to place the plates on the table.

"Thank you."

Lu Ban said, glancing at Feng Yu again.

"You really are the woman who can become my mother."

Chapter 895 Everything Makes Perfect

Hearing Lu Ban's words, Feng Yu smiled awkwardly.

"If you're thanking me for taking care of you, you'd better rephrase it. I've only been out of school for two years."

Feng Yu kept a certain distance from Lu Ban and said with a smile.

"Actually, I sometimes envy you for being able to immerse yourself in your own world. Some of the stories you told before were quite interesting."

After she finished speaking, she quickly realized her mistake; it was clearly inappropriate to say such things in front of a patient.

"Ahem, anyway, I hope it gets a little better."

"You're not a time traveler, just an ordinary nurse?"

Lu Ban asked, as if to confirm.

"Of course not. If I could travel through time, I would definitely make my senior year of high school study hard. Uh, it seems like I would have to start from the first year of high school."

Feng Yu spoke to himself, then looked at Lu Ban.

"These are all your imaginations, Lu Ban. You need to learn to distinguish between reality and fantasy, understand?"

"I understand fantasy and reality."

Lu Ban nodded.

"That's good. Maybe it's because I'm the one who brings you food that you feel like I've helped you a lot, and that's why you've given me a unique persona."

Feng Yu continued.

"Actually, I'm just an ordinary nurse. I can't really help the patients here. I can only do what I can."

"That's already amazing."

Lu Ban said in a deep voice, then lowered his voice again.

"I think I'm currently trapped in the illusion of the [Dark One]. I don't know if you're also trapped in it, or if it's just a figment of your imagination."

Upon hearing Lu Ban's words, Feng Yu's expression became somewhat awkward.

“Lu Ban, if you continue talking about this, Dr. Wu might let you stay in the hospital a little longer.”

She said that.

"It seems to be fictional."

Lu Ban muttered to himself.

"...You eat first, I'll come back to clear the plates later when you're done."

Feng Yu left the ward as if fleeing.

Lu Ban started eating.

The hospital food was bland but quite healthy, and Lu Ban finished it quickly.

After a while, Feng Yu came to collect the plates. This time, she didn't say much to Lu Ban and just left in a hurry.

At 10 p.m., the hospital lights were turned off. Lu Ban had just finished watching an old family-themed movie. He lay down, wondering what the purpose of "The Man in Darkness" was.

For several days, besides watching TV and eating, Lu Ban mostly stood by the window with the security bars on it and looked down at the courtyard.

Many patients with mild symptoms were able to go out and sunbathe. Lu Ban looked at them and recognized quite a few of them.

Some were employees of Silent Media, while others were strangers encountered in a foreign land.

The explanation that a mental patient processes the people he sees into stories that he can even deceive himself seems quite reasonable.

A girl who looks like amber comes here every day. It's summer vacation now, so she doesn't have to go to school.

From their conversation, Lu Ban gained a general understanding of their relationship.

Both of their parents were professors majoring in archaeology at a university. The two grew up together in the family compound. Even if they couldn't be called childhood sweethearts, they were at least childhood friends.

However, Lu Ban's parents passed away in an accident abroad, and Lu Ban developed mental abnormalities during university. He has been staying here for the past two years.

There's nothing wrong with the logic, Lu Ban thought to himself.

The fact that I am an orphan remains unchanged in any world.

It seems it was destined.

Time flew by and the day of discharge arrived.

Lu Ban packed his things—not much, just some change of underwear and toiletries—and left the hospital accompanied by the girl.

Jiangcheng Mental Health Center.

So that's what the hospital was called.

Lu Ban sighed.

He and the girl took a taxi. After getting in, Lu Ban carefully looked at the driver's appearance in the rearview mirror.

He didn't know him.

The driver was called through an app; they were complete strangers. It's normal that Lu Ban hadn't met him before.

The driver noticed Lu Ban's gaze and joked.

"It's not easy these days either; many people are under a lot of mental stress."

"Yes."

Lu Ban answered familiarly.

The car started moving very smoothly, clearly indicating that the driver was an experienced one.

Are you visiting a friend?

The driver, holding the steering wheel, asked.

"Not really."

Lu Ban immediately replied.

The girl tugged at Lu Ban's clothes, trying to stop him from continuing.

"Uh uh..."

The driver seemed to sense something. Seeing Lu Ban acting so normally, he couldn't help but glance at the girl next to him.

It's unbelievable that such a young girl would develop mental health issues.

The driver sighed.

The car quickly stopped at the entrance of the residential area.

This place is consistent with the house Lu Ban remembers living in. After all, this community is right next to Jiangcheng University, so it's quite normal for one of the buildings to be used as a staff dormitory.

"If you feel lonely, you can come to us."

The girl pointed to the next room and said that Lu Ban had already put down his luggage.

The house was empty and extremely simple, much like Lu Ban's previous house.

The computer was relatively new, the TV was old, the kitchen was unused, the refrigerator was empty, and the bed was not made up. Everything seemed both familiar and strange.

The girl thoughtfully helped Lu Ban tidy up and clean, and time passed quickly until evening.

"Let's go to the school to get something to eat."

"That's what the girl said."

It seems her parents aren't home very often either.

When the two arrived at Jiangcheng University, the security guard greeted the girl warmly. When he saw Lu Ban, his expression was slightly stiff, but he still greeted him.

After getting their food at the cafeteria, the two found a table and sat down.

Lu Ban took out his phone, which the doctor had given him when he left the hospital.

Once online, Lu Ban first searched for the words he was familiar with.

Unfortunately, these words were completely different from the concepts he knew.

There are no movies like those that Lu Ban made in this world.

Entering the term "Great Old Ones" only displays modern mythology created by the author.
