This world is somewhat different from the world Fang Zheng is familiar with, in that the civilization and technology development in various regions seem to be quite even.

That's right, according to the original development of history, because of the emergence of the Industrial Revolution, Europe and the United States should have been the leaders in the electrical industrial revolution. However, the situation in this world seems to be that an Einstein, Stella or Newton has appeared in Asia, North America, Europe and other places, giving people the illusion that all forces have been promoted to the same stage of civilization when playing the civilization game.

Meanwhile, China and Japan were also improving their civilization to the same level. Fang Zheng even saw a passenger plane from China Airlines at Tokyo Airport. Well, the big, black and rough shape of the plane, coupled with the shabby paint job, there was simply no more distinctive feature than this.

I really don’t know whether the world will develop in the direction of Command & Conquer or Red Alert in the future.

With the help of the little angel's information modification, Fang Zheng successfully came to the Tokyo University School of Medicine as a doctor of psychology, where he will carry out his next work. As for Miskatonic University... well, it can only be said that due to a sudden fire, their collections were burned to ashes. This is really a tragedy.

But what does this have to do with me?

Fang Zheng simply gave the other party a few hundred thousand dollars as a donation, then walked away.

Fang Zheng felt that Tokyo was no different from other places. The newspapers here were the same as those in other places, with only a small amount of space devoted to describing political, economic and military issues. The rest of the space was used to explore and introduce various ghost stories, urban legends and mysterious villages.

Not only that, by reading the news, Fang Zheng discovered some strange things.

That is, the "strange phenomena" occurring in each region seem to be different.

According to the descriptions in the newspapers in Asia, in China, there are more stories like those that Fang Zheng had read in Liaozhai Zhiyi, where stories about animals becoming spirits are everywhere, and even forced the government to introduce special laws to prohibit animals from becoming spirits. In addition, there are stories about Taoist priests traveling and killing ghosts, and some feng shui - in short, it is equivalent to the urban supernatural novel section of Qidian in 193X.

Fang Zheng even found a section called "Travels of Taoist Priest Mao Xiaofang", which was a news record about a Taoist priest named Mao Xiaofang exorcising demons and zombies?

But the situation in Japan seems a little special.

After all, according to Fang Zheng's previous experience, these things in the news usually have reasons. For example, in European and American newspapers, if you see collective riots, mysterious disappearances, or some strange phenomena, most of them are caused by cultists who believe in foreign gods and the Old Ones.

In China, there are reasons why monsters become spirits and zombies appear.

But many things in Japan are incomprehensible, as if they suddenly appear and disappear.

Just like the newspaper in my hand right now, it describes the "human head balloon" phenomenon that occurred in Japan last year. It talks about huge human head balloons that look exactly like me suddenly appearing in northeastern Japan, and these balloons will find their respective owners and hang them to death. Not only that, those balloons can't even be destroyed, because if they are destroyed, the owners of those balloons will also die like the attacked balloons.

For a while, people thought it was the end of the world, but suddenly one day, everything ended, and those human head balloons disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

There are many similar things. To put it simply, these things seem to happen without any logic or reason. They just appear, do evil, and finally disappear.

As for why it appeared? How did it appear? And how did it disappear?

Although there are many different opinions on TV and in newspapers, there is no accurate statement.

"Teacher, the patient in bed 203 has woken up."

Just at this moment, Asakura Ryoko, wearing a nurse's uniform, walked in and said to Fang Zheng with a smile.

"Yes, I understand."

Looking at Asakura Ryoko in the nurse's uniform, Fang Zheng nodded. He had to admit that Japan was indeed a country that had taken the production of O** to the extreme. Looking at Asakura Ryoko in front of him, wearing a pure white nurse's uniform, white pantyhose, and white slippers, well... this reminded Fang Zheng of the movie "Night Shift Sickness" that he had watched in his previous life...

After I go back, should I let Eriri and the others wear this outfit to "look after" me?

That seems like a good idea.

By the way, this time Asakura Ryoko came to the hospital as Fang Zheng's assistant, and Nymph had to stay at home. However, since there was a personal terminal to contact her, Nymph didn't mind this little thing.

Fang Zheng picked up his white coat and put it on, then walked out of the office. After greeting a few patients and nurses on the way, he came to a ward in the psychiatric department, knocked on the door gently, then pushed it open and walked in.

Soon, Fang Zheng saw a young man who looked like a college student lying on the bed, staring at the door in fear. When he saw Fang Zheng and Asakura Ryoko walk in, a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Hello, doctor."

"Hello, Mr. Niosaka, how are things going today?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked to the bedside and carefully looked at the man in front of him. His name was Niosaka Yuki, and he was the victim of a car accident. Although he did not appear to have suffered much trauma, he seemed to have suffered from some kind of cognitive dissonance symptoms. Well, Fang Zheng also understood this situation.

After all, the SAN value has returned to zero.

In fact, in the eyes of Niosaka Yuki, everything in this world has become extremely disgusting and indescribable. According to his description, except for himself, any other creature he sees is like a monster. Only Fang Zheng and Asakura Ryoko are the only two humans who appear normal in his eyes. It is precisely because of this that Niosaka Yuki will reveal his situation, eager to get help and return to normal life.

Fang Zheng naturally nodded in agreement. In fact, for him, Niosaka Yuki was also a very good experimenter. Unlike the guys before whose SAN values ​​were reduced to zero because of witnessing the Outer Gods or being mentally polluted, Niosaka Yuki's change was caused by physical shock. Therefore, Fang Zheng wanted to try to see if he could give him another blow from a physical perspective and change him back to normal.

If successful, it will also be a good reference for the situation where the main world is eroded by chaos.

"fine……"

Looking at Fang Zheng, Niosaka Yuki had a complicated expression, while Fang Zheng just laughed and sat next to him.

"Well, tell me, do you feel like you can distinguish things again now?"

"Hmm... Let me think about it. When it comes to food, I seem to be able to tell which ones are fruits, which ones are vegetables, and which ones are meat... But that's just the taste. In my eyes, they still look like rotten meat balls. Moreover, when talking to people other than Dr. Kasugano, their voices are still filled with noise, which is very harsh and annoying."

"Well, I can understand that, but this is already a huge improvement. Okay, close your eyes."

"yes."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Niosaka Yuki closed his eyes obediently, and then Fang Zheng winked at Asakura Ryoko, who immediately left the ward and closed the door. Fang Zheng then stretched out his right hand, and soon, a ray of holy light emerged from it, covering Niosaka Yuki's body, and feeling the holy light, Niosaka Yuki's expression began to slowly relax.

"Okay, now listen to me, recall your past memories, think carefully about the meadows, flowers, lakes in your memory... think about your friends..."

Fang Zheng lowered his voice, and his divine whisper echoed in Niosaka Yuki's ears.

"Recalling how they were originally, yes...how they should have been..."

What Fang Zheng was trying was actually also a form of information pollution. After communicating with Yog-Sothoth, Fang Zheng's "Appearance of the Ancient God" skill was upgraded to Lv2, and he gained a skill called "Demon of a Thousand Maws". Although Fang Zheng still couldn't understand this skill, the little angel told Fang Zheng after conducting experiments that this skill allowed Fang Zheng to subtly change the information deviation of others through sound and whispers.

Simply put, just like those things in the Cthulhu mythology who listened to the whispers of the ancient gods too much and eventually became neither human nor ghost, Fang Zheng can also use this method to achieve a similar effect.

This time, Fang Zheng used this ability. The original "Demon of Thousand Throats" was used to divert the information of humans to other places, but this time, Fang Zheng intended to correct the diverted information back to humans.

Fortunately, Niosaka Yuki also cooperated with him, and the situation did change. For example, at the beginning, everything in his eyes was distorted in a way that humans could not tolerate, but now, he can gradually distinguish smells and some colors, which made Niosaka Yuki more motivated, and he even began to cooperate with the treatment urgently.

But for Fang Zheng, of course... haste makes waste.

Soon, Niosaka Yuki regained his composure, and Fang Zheng looked at his watch and stood up.

"Well, that's it, today's treatment ends here."

"Ah, doctor."

At this moment, Niosaka Yuki suddenly spoke.

"that……"

"What's going on, Mr. Niosaka?"

"Yes, that...last night, I seemed to hear a very clear girl's voice coming from outside the door."

"…A girl's voice?"

"Yes, it's not Miss Asakura's voice, but a younger one... I heard it very clearly, and it's different from the other voices..."

"Um……"

In response to Niosaka Yuki's words, Fang Zheng pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"Maybe you were in a deep sleep and heard it in your dream."

"……is that so?"

"Even if it's just a dream, it's a good start, isn't it? If you can experience normality in your dreams, then it will only be a matter of time before you can fully return to normal life."

"Really? That's good."

Niosaka Yuki didn't seem to doubt Fang Zheng's words. He sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and lay back in bed. Fang Zheng walked out of the ward and gestured to Asakura Ryoko who was standing not far away. Soon, Asakura Ryoko came over.

"What is it, Master?"

"You are in charge of keeping watch tonight. Keep an eye on this ward and don't let anything get close."

At this point, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly.

"Anything."
