Chapter 289
Shen Ge believed that starting to question “whether or not I’ve gone crazy” meant he was beginning to doubt himself, and that in itself signaled that something was fundamentally wrong.
What’s more, the key issue was that he had no memory of that period. Or rather, the memories he thought he knew were “false memories.”
But judging from Wang Han’s current memories, at least this portion wasn’t “false”—it’s just that what Shen Ge saw differed from what everyone else saw.
Shen Ge didn’t know whether his own real memories were the same, but one thing was certain: the “Shen Ge” in Wang Han’s memories could no longer tell the difference between reality and dreams.
Because from Wang Han’s perspective, everything about “Shen Ge” seemed normal—it was Shen Ge who was the abnormal one. Yet in “Shen Ge’s” vision, he really did see the old man and San Zai.
Shen Ge watched as the “himself” in Wang Han’s memories was treated like a circus monkey, darting around the hospital while a crowd chased after him, only to be caught and locked back in his ward.
The next memory scene shifted to a crowded hospital room of less than ten square meters. A young boy was pinned against the cold wall. A doctor used a tool that looked like a dentist’s mouth gag to pry his jaw open, then poured food and nutritional supplements down his throat.
But in Shen Ge’s memory, during those dream visits, it wasn’t he who was force-fed—it was San Zai who’d been caught, and what was poured down his throat was bugs.
“I am San Zai, and San Zai is me… so from the very beginning, San Zai never existed. It was all an illusion?” Shen Ge frowned. It wasn’t that he refused to accept this truth—it was that this truth was worlds apart from “reality.” If there was no such thing as the supernatural, then who exactly was the whole world fighting?
