Chapter 228
Shen Ge remembered his “experiences” from his previous Dream World journeys very clearly. The last time he looked out through the observation window and met one of those gazes, he felt like he couldn’t breathe, as if a hand was choking his neck. His body went weak, almost collapsing.
Then his consciousness blurred. In a daze, he heard someone open the door, followed by a group in white coats pushing a gurney in, strapping him onto it.
He was then wheeled into a sealed operating room. While his mind was hazy, they asked him some bizarre questions—like having him repeat the process of seeing his father turn into a monster and bite off his mother’s head—or injected him with various drugs and performed all sorts of tests.
This situation lasted for several months. His consciousness remained in a semi-lucid state, every day either locked in a pitch-black ward or wheeled into an operating room for various experiments: blood draws, tissue extraction, injections of different drugs.
But this time, meeting the gazes of those white-coated figures outside the door didn’t trigger terrifying hallucinations, and they didn’t inject him with any drugs.
Was this a deviation in this dream fragment? Or was it because he had been cooperative since entering the hospital, so they didn’t resort to extreme measures?
Shen Ge calmly averted his gaze, pretending to sit dazed on the bed while carefully listening to the conversation outside.
However, they only spoke about trivial matters: “The subject is relatively calm,” “Situation normal,” “Proceed as planned,” etc. They didn’t discuss anything related to the experiments.
The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, Shen Ge heard the door open and sat up from the bed. Several fully-masked, “fully-armed” figures in white coats entered, pushing a gurney.
