Chapter 1 Instant Noodles
"Li Nuo, there is no abnormality in your brain MRI."
"Well, do you want to check again?"
"Everything that can be checked has been checked."
"Okay..."
"So, can you not Do you want to play with your own brain slices to find differences again?"
Li Nuo listened to Dr. Xu's words, put away the two brain magnetic resonance images with circles on them, raised his eyes to the doctor, and said seriously: "But I really feel that my brain I'm sick."
"I'm glad you are aware of this problem."
Doctor Xu picked up the teapot, took a sip like an old leader, and said, "I still remember when you were 15 years old, you tricked an old gentleman with constipation." If you put something in and squeeze it out, it means that the constipation is cured. At that time, I suggested that your mother go to the psychiatrist to register for you." Li Nuo still remembered
the old man and said: "Think of it better. Through that incident, at least he began to bravely face up to his sexual orientation."
Dr. Xu put down the teacup and said seriously: "It would be a mistake to talk to you in a normal way... Let's talk about something serious. What's wrong with your head?"
Li Nuo: "I've been dreaming about a TV series recently, which lasted for a month."
Doctor Xu's eyes were a little strange: "Most people have a hard time remembering what they dream about every day."
Li Nuo replied: "A month ago, I dreamed that I entered the game. At first I was a green-shell tortoise in Super Mario, and then I was made into soup by Mario. The most hateful thing is that the plumber didn't eat me, I only drank it. He drank my soup and poured me into the sewer. That's when I realized that Mario only drank soup and didn't eat meat, and I was just a side dish." "
Wait a moment." Dr. Xu took it out of the drawer A few walnuts, cracked one with a stethoscope, and made a sign of please.
Li Nuo's profession is a "cartoonist" and he has a lot of wild things in his mind. He sometimes asks Dr. Xu to tell the story of his cartoons in a tone similar to his current one.
But what he said today actually happened.
Li Nuo continued: "When I opened my eyes again from the dream, there was a fog all around. A group of nurses wearing very elegant clothes approached me and wanted to prick me." Dr. Xu said, "I know this, Silent Hill."
Li
Nuo Nuo nodded: "Then I used Turtle Style Qigong to blast them into pieces."
Doctor Xu: "..."
Li Nuo: "I thought everything was over. When I walked out of the fog, a line of subtitles appeared in front of me: Ya Nan welcomes you... In the Victorian era, the Turtle School Qigong could walk sideways."
Doctor Xu handed over a piece of walnut and said: "I have played Bloodborne. It is a very enthusiastic game, but it is not as good as Dragon Ball's Qigong Wave. No way."
Li Nuo nodded, took the walnuts and crunched them while saying, "Yes, so I pulled out my silver sword, turned into a demon hunter, and finally killed several werewolves. A 300-pound sorceress jumped from a Gothic-style building and trampled me to death. My pelvis was broken. I woke up from the pain in my dream... This scene is from the fourth day." Dr.
Xu He said: "I think about it every day and dream about it at night. The same goes for dreams. Have you played too many games?"
"I thought so too at first..." Li Nuo stared at the walnuts in his hand with dead eyes. He said helplessly: "So on the fifth day, I watched Two Women and One Drink all day long. When I was sure that my mind was filled with shit, I went to bed. As a result... the sorceress sold me to the pirates, and I Joined the Brotherhood... They sent me to the Sky City to assassinate Jing Ke... I went through this series for twenty-nine days." "
Last night, when I was conquering 2B in the Fangyuan area, suddenly a train passed through the sky. , and knocked me in."
Li Nuo picked up a pen, drew a train on the paper, and said at the same time:
"In the train, I heard a mechanical sound that sounded like a system - the trailer has ended, thank you for watching , you have obtained the qualification for internal testing and will board our train on April 11, 2030." "
After the public beta is over, your world will usher in the intersection of the heaven and earth, when..." "
Sorry, before that, please You must pass the newcomer screening first."
Ten days later it will be April 11, 2030.
"So in case you don't see me again, just think that I have traveled through time. After all, I meet the requirements for time travel." Li Nuo pointed at his face and said, "No father, no mother, good-looking." He
said Then, he took out the toilet paper from his pocket, tore off a small handful and wiped it on his nose.
There was a pool of bright red on the paper, and he threw the paper into the wastebasket as if it didn't matter.
Doctor Xu saw it and was not surprised.
Patients with congenital immune deficiency are likely to die from a cold, and death follows them like a shadow. This is the foundation of Li Nuo's twenty years of life.
There are about 60,000 people with similar diseases in the country.
Less than 5% live to be 20 years old.
As one of the five percent, according to recent physical examination data, Li Nuo's lifespan has basically entered a countdown.
When normal people reach this point, they generally don't think about dreams anymore. On the one hand, the physical discomfort does not allow the brain to think too much, and on the other hand, they are not in the mood.
But Li Nuo, he's a weirdo.
He is 20 years old, a cartoonist, and can also be called a vagrant. He has many eccentricities. Although they are not crazy, most of them are still incomprehensible.
For example, a high fever a few years ago caused him to develop dyslexia.
So Li Nuo tried to learn fragmented memory and developed the "bad habit" of looking at problems from multiple perspectives.
Because of his lack of security, he also has a habit of collecting information. As long as anything that may interfere with his life happens, Li Nuo will spare no effort to collect relevant information and prepare in advance for possible crises.
Just like a few years ago, there was a thief who stole underwear near his home. Li Nuo learned to make Molotov cocktails for this purpose.
Even though his dyslexia is now gone, he still can't change those habits.
Dr. Xu has watched Li Nuo grow up, and sometimes he feels happy for the society that this kid is sick and cannot practice regularly.
"Can the topic of your dream be over?" Doctor Xu asked.
Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "Uncle Xu, your transition is a bit abrupt."
Doctor Xu ignored him and stared at the computer screen.
Li Nuo's test records were displayed on the screen.
"Instead of worrying about strange dreams, it is better to consider practical issues. There is something wrong with your physical parameters. It is necessary to have a comprehensive examination and hospitalization, Li Nuo." "Sorry,
I want to die at home." Li Nuo said very seriously. Jingping: "Uncle Xu, people have feelings before they die. I can't tell clearly, but I think I should be close."
Doctor Xu said, "Your disease can wait for a bone marrow transplant. As long as you are a match, our Cairo Hospital has Under those conditions, I can do this operation."
"Do I have the money?" Li Nuo asked.
Doctor Xu fell silent: "We can crowdfund."
"I wish you good luck." Li Nuo picked up the crutches leaning against his legs, supported his shaky body to stand up, and limped out of the department. Doctor Xu looked at the closed door, silently picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip.
"I feel like I'm about to die, so I'm looking for a reason to say goodbye...this kid..."
No matter what others think, Li Nuo really went to the hospital today because of that dream.
Since the serial nightmare appeared, Li Nuo began to search for relevant information to prepare for possible time travel or death.
In some private forums, some people did mention related dreams.
Except for the different content in the dreams, they all involve the integration of the game's worldview.
For example, seal the devil's door in Raccoon City (Resident Evil + Devil May Cry);
catch ghosts in Westworld (Red Dead Redemption + Zero);
deliver express delivery in Gotham (Batman + Death Stranding);
challenge in the world of Monster Hunter Eight gyms (Monster Hunter + Pokémon).
The only thing that is the same is that the last scene of the dream is frozen in the train.
And these posts are just like pranks, and all of them have no follow-up.
Although the IP address of the poster can be found, he cannot be contacted. All traces of his existence are like a torn diary, only the past has no future, as if he has disappeared from the world.
"Excluding scientific hidden diseases and chance, the most likely thing is only supernatural events."
After Li Nuo returned home, he sat at the computer desk and stared at the dimly lit screen. He lowered his head slightly and placed his left hand on the screen. Hold your right elbow, point your right index finger in the center of your forehead, and gently slide it down the bridge of your nose.
"The only valid information is related to the game. The best early preparation is to be familiar with the game. All the games that have appeared so far are masterpieces or masterpieces. The emergence of 4399 mini-games cannot be ruled out, but the scope of the game is too wide. I have to make a screening plan..."
Li Nuo took out the thermometer under his arm, 38°2.
"It's okay, not high."
He put the thermometer aside, preparing to take a bite to take medicine before making any plans.
There are still ten days left until April 11th, the ultimatum in the dream...
What can I do...
Li Nuo leaned on crutches and went to the kitchen cabinet to take out instant noodles, poured boiling water, and held the instant noodles in one hand. I'm going to go back to my computer desk to think about it and eat it at the same time.
The straight line distance from the kitchen door to the computer desk is 5 meters.
When there is only one meter left from the computer desk.
Li Nuo slipped.
The back of his head hit the corner of the table without any bias.
There was a "thump" in his brain, and as his vision was obscured by darkness, his last heartbeat stopped.
When he opened his eyes again, he was looking at his body.
Li Nuo was completely stunned at this moment. He couldn't feel the existence of his body, as if he were a ghost, but his mind still existed.
——I am dead...
——I have been ill for twenty years, and the way I die is like a funny cartoon?
——That’s too hasty!
Li Nuo didn't understand and couldn't understand what was going on now.
At this moment, he heard the wind pouring into the room, smelled the smoke of burning gas, and saw a railroad track passing through the window and grafting in front of him.
——"Woo".
When the whistle of the steam engine reaches my ears.
Outside the window, the rumble of the train was accompanied by the sound. A steam-spewing locomotive broke in from the outside, followed the railway track, and hit Li Nuo.
