After coming out of the painting, Lin Mo took the painting away.
This is not a grab.
Because Lin Mo had already had "friendly" communication with the owner of the painting, the patient painter, the other party clearly stated that he could give the painting to Lin Mo without charging a penny.
"Brother, that's very nice!" Lin Mo patted the other person's shoulder.
The other party did not say anything, just hoping that the shameless robber would leave quickly.
Never come back again.
Lin Mo gained a lot this time.
Not only did he ruin the businessman's plan, but he also found a possible way to return home by chance.
There was nothing to do next. I had to find a chance to leave the asylum and reunite with the butcher, then enter the ghost painting together and look for the way home.
This is what Lin Mo will do next.
Leaving the mental hospital was no longer a problem for Lin Mo. He had read some basic settings of the mental hospital written by the novelist and knew how to leave.
But first we have to return to Ward 4.
The administrator's secret passage has been closed and the only way to leave is from the entrance of Ward 3.
Crossing Ward 3 was a very dangerous thing before, but now, every patient in Ward 3 knows how powerful "Paper Bag Head" is.
Especially now that the two paper bag heads are walking together, followed by the beautiful woman in red holding a knife, even the most terrifying lunatic in Ward 3 would not dare to provoke them.
When they reached the entrance, Xiao Jiexi pointed to the iron gate in front and told Lin Mo that he could return to Ward 4 by leaving from that gate.
Lin Mo sensed something was wrong.
"Jessie, you're not leaving with me?"
Little Jesse nodded.
Lin Mo asked him why, since Xiao Jiexi had already agreed to go back to Lvyuan Community with him and also promised to introduce him to new friends.
"Lin, I am a lunatic, and lunatics should stay in a mental hospital." Little Jie Xi has indeed grown up. He could not say this before.
"And I was born in a mental hospital. If something goes wrong in the mental hospital, something will go wrong with me too, or even disappear." What Xiao Jiexi said might be the real reason.
Obviously, little Jesse, who has matured a lot mentally, has realized some truths about the mental asylum.
That is, the patients here are not born naturally.
All their patients are just characters in the novelist's hand.
If there is any problem in the asylum, they will indeed be implicated.
Lin Mo already knew the truth about the entire mental hospital. After thinking about it, he decided not to continue persuading him.
"I locked up the merchant and the wise man is dead. I've thought about it. I can't keep running away, and I can't keep being that carefree kid. No matter how much I run away, I still have to face what I have to face. So I won't create any more secondary personalities. From now on, no matter what problems I have, I will face and solve them myself."
When Xiao Jiexi said this, Lin Mo vaguely discovered that Xiao Jiexi seemed to be much bigger than before, as if he had grown up in an instant.
Lin Mo is not seeing things, little Jie Xi has really grown up.
Originally he looked to be only four or five years old, but now he looked like a teenager, and was only half a head shorter than Lin Mo.
Lin Mo nodded.
"Thank you, Lin." Xiao Jiexi said at this time. Lin Mo asked him why he thanked me. Xiao Jiexi said that if it weren't for you, I would never come out of the TV, and I would not be willing to contact the outside world even until I disappeared.
Lin Mo thought about it and it was true. It was he who tricked Xiao Jiexi into going out for a walk.
"Jesse Robinson is my full name. I know this is a name given to me by others. I don't like it. I want to change my name. If you agree, I want to use your character 'Lin'."
Jie Xi has really grown up and is willing to make his own decision on even something as big as changing his name.
"Do you want to change your name, Jesse Lin?" Lin Mo asked.
Jie Xi shook his head: "It's just one word, Lin!"
Lin Mo laughed and said that there was no one with just one character, and it was just a surname. But Jie Xi was very stubborn and said that he had made up his mind and would call himself "Lin".
The reason is that Jesse Robinson represents his childish past, and he wants to draw a line between himself and his past self, so he must change his name, and change it according to his ideas.
What can Lin Mo say?
It's someone else's own name, they can change it however they want. The most I can do is offer suggestions, and it's up to Xiao Jiexi whether to adopt them or not.
No, it should be called 'Lin' now.
Before leaving, Lin Mo remembered something and took off his paper bag head. At this moment, less than one-third of his paper bag head was left, and the remaining two-thirds had turned transparent.
According to the wise, this is a spiritual creation. Once separated from its creator, it will gradually disintegrate and need to be replenished with spiritual power.
As a result, Lin shook his head.
"This was created by the old Jesse. There's nothing I can do about it."
Lin Mo said, "Stop making a fuss. It's just a name change. Why can't it charge? Why don't you change it back and then change it back after charging it."
Lin shook his head: "This has nothing to do with changing the name. The old Jie Xi no longer exists. I have grown and changed. I have merged the consciousness of the dead wise man, so you can think of me as another person."
"Well, since it's a different person, I can't do what little Jesse could do before, so I'm sorry."
What he said made a lot of sense. For a moment, Lin Mo didn't know whether the other party was serious or just lying to him.
I don't think it's a lie.
First of all, Lin is a very good person. He locked up the sinister, cunning and hypocritical businessman, which was equivalent to locking up his own dark side.
In other words, the other party will not lie.
Secondly, from the perspective of multiple personalities, each personality can be viewed individually as a separate person.
According to this theory, the little Jesse of the past really no longer exists.
Then it is reasonable that other people cannot replenish the spiritual power of the spiritual creations created by Xiao Jiexi.
Lin Mo thought about it and asked, "Is there really no other way?"
"There is no way!" Lin nodded.
Lin Mo understood that some things could not be forced, but he also immediately realized the consequences of this matter.
Putting the paper bag back on, Lin Mo looked at his steady mother and naughty sister beside him. His father was standing in the distance, still seemingly sulking.
"My little Romi, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Mom saw Lin Mo's mood and asked.
Lin Mo shook his head and took off the paper bag again.
He still had some questions for Lin, and he didn't want the family on the paper bag to hear them.
"You mean the secondary personality attached to it?" Lin said, "Of course it will disappear with the disappearance of the spiritual object. This is inevitable."
"Can't they be separated?" Lin Mo asked again.
Lin shook his head: "No, as I said before, this needs the little Jie Xi from before to do it. Mental power is something very special. Every madman has a different mental power. Mental power is like a key that can only open the corresponding lock. Others can't do it."
Lin remained silent.
He is still thinking about countermeasures.
'Lin' saw what Lin Mo was thinking, so he reached out and created a paper bag head on the spot.
"I captured a new secondary personality and gave it to you."
Lin Mo didn't answer.
“It’s different.”
"How are they different? Dad, Mom, and sister. I have many of these secondary personalities. If you spend some time with them, you will get used to them. They are the same."
"It's different." Lin Mo waved his hand.
Even if they are the same type of secondary personalities, they are different.
Lin did not force it: "It's okay, you can come to me whenever you need me."
Lin Mo nodded.
He walked over and opened the iron gate.
"Well, Lin, goodbye."
"Goodbye." Lin waved from behind.
Afterwards, Lin Mo and Nie Hong walked into the iron gate one after another.
Through this door, they returned to Ward 4.
Nie Hong also noticed that Lin Mo was in a bad mood. She knew she couldn't persuade anyone, so she didn't say anything and just followed behind silently.
Lin Mo finished everything he needed to do in the mental hospital.
Next, a new dean will be elected here, and as for the candidate for the dean, Lin Mo already has his own guess.
It should be 'Lin'.
That is the grown-up little Jie Xi.
This was not Lin Mo's blind guess. He thought that he had once tried his best to add a word to the novelist's manuscript in the novelist's room.
That was the volume about the birth of the new dean. Lin Mo added the word "Lin" before the last two words "Dean".
To be honest, Lin Mo mainly wanted to cause trouble at that time.
Anyway, I didn't want a businessman to become the new dean, so I wrote a Lin. Also, I felt that maybe, possibly, I might have a chance.
After all, I am the only one with the surname Lin in this place.
But what no one expected was that little Jie Xi actually changed his own name in the end.
There is no way the other party could have anticipated the word I added.
So we can only say that this is destined by heaven.
However, Lin Mo didn't really want to be the dean. After all, it was impossible for him to stay in the mental hospital for a long time.
“It’s time to go!”
Lin Mo took Nie Hong and walked towards the rooftop.
The exit from the asylum is on the roof.
Lin Mo had mixed feelings.
When the spiritual object disappears, the secondary personality above it will also disappear.
The wise man said it, and Lin also said it, so this point cannot be wrong.
Although those three secondary personalities are not Lin Mo's real family, and they themselves know it, but in the spiritual realm, they are a family.
Even Lin Mo, who was wearing a paper bag, did not deny this.
Perhaps the concept of "home" was left by Xiao Jiexi on this spiritual object, which may have also influenced the three secondary personalities and even Lin Mo.
Lin Mo thought about parting with these three family members, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Thinking back to the time when I first put on the paper bag and saw the three family members, everything I experienced along the way is still vivid in my mind.
Lin Mo put on the paper bag again.
He saw his sister crawling around on the ceiling, his mother still beside him, and his father walking very quickly this time, already on the upper floor.
Lin Mo is not a sentimental person.
But at this time he didn't know how to talk about this matter.
Or rather, he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
For example, some patients who have terminal illnesses and must pass away may not be told the truth by their family members until they die. This is another form of protection.
That is what the saying goes, to die peacefully.
"Romi, I told you, we are a family. If you encounter any difficulties, no matter what they are, you can tell your mother." Mom said from the side.
"Look, there's a ladder up there. Let me go up and take a look first." My sister made a new discovery. She climbed up along the wall to a metal ladder and climbed up.
Lin Mo also looked up and saw the passage leading to the roof.
The exit is over there.
Lin Mo glanced at his mother and said, "Mom, I do have some troubles."
"Tell mom about it." Mom's voice was still so calm, as if nothing could make her nervous.
Nie Hong saw that Lin Mo was having a mental breakdown again, and heard that the other party had something to say, so she quickly climbed up.
Lin Mo's life has rarely been as tangled as it is now.
He wanted to get the situation straight.
Just say that you will disappear soon because the spiritual object, the paper bag head, that you have deposited will disappear, and there is nothing that can be done about it, and no one can save you.
But the words got stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter them.
"It's okay, think it over first." Mom patted Lin Mo.
The younger sister upstairs shouted that she had found a door and asked her brother and mother to hurry up.
Lin Mo also climbed up.
When I reached the top door and opened it, a cool breeze blew towards me.
This is the roof of the asylum.
It was pitch black all around and thick clouds could be seen, but surprisingly, the fog that filled the surroundings seemed to have dissipated a lot.
Because it is near the sea, there is a damp smell in the air.
My sister started to have fun, running around, very happy.
Dad was standing not far away, and he seemed to be able to see through the clouds and see things farther away.
The way to leave the asylum is to go through the roof and jump down from a place with a white doll painted on it.
It's crazy.
But that's the setting the novelist wrote.
Lin Mo took a deep breath and prepared to say goodbye to his mother and the others.
But before he could speak, his mother took the lead and said, "My little Romi, I have something to tell you. Although it is difficult to say it, if I don't say it, it will leave some regrets..."
Lin Mo was stunned.
"Actually, mom, sister, and dad can't leave with you."
While my mother was speaking, my sister came over, and even my father turned his head away.
"The three of us were just created by little Jie Xi. We know this ourselves, which is why we are treated as aliens and locked in the deepest part of the spiritual realm. We are reincarnated over and over again. That kind of life is more terrifying than death. We know that everything is fake, but we still have to act it out."
"Until we met you."
"Jesse released us and gave us to you. Your sister and I were so happy. By the way, even though your father didn't say anything, he was actually very happy too. We were like a real family, happy and sad together. Although it was only for a few days, it was the most wonderful experience since we were born."
"You recognized us, and we recognized you."
"Now that little Jie Xi has disappeared, naturally there is no one left to maintain our existence. Any spiritual power will disappear one day. Although I am very reluctant, Mom must tell you that we are leaving."
Lin Mo felt like there was a stone blocking his heart.
"That's what I wanted to talk about," Lin Mo muttered.
"Really? That's such a coincidence." Mom smiled.
Just like before.
Lin Mo sighed, "I tried to stop him, but Jie Xi... I should call him 'Lin' now. He has no way to stop me. Even the wise men said so."
"So, you should accept it. There are many things in this world that are like this. Even though you hate it, despise it, and fear it, sometimes you just have to accept it."
As soon as my mother finished speaking, my sister next to me clapped her hands and said, "Mom, what you said is so profound. I don't even understand it!"
This time, Lin Mo also laughed.
The paper bag collapsed at the same speed as Lin Mo expected.
By now, there is no difference between Lin Mo wearing the paper bag and not wearing it.
The pace of this transparency is clearly increasing.
It's like a balloon filled with water.
Puncture a hole and the water will slowly flow out. At first, if the balloon is big enough, it may seem like it will take a long time for all the water to flow out. But in fact, the water inside will flow out much faster than you calculated.
Lin Mo did not leave immediately. He didn't know whether passing through the mental barrier of the mental asylum would have any impact on Paper Bag Head, especially after he found that his mother and the others seemed to like the view from the rooftop, so he decided to stay a little longer.
"It feels so good to feel the wind blowing on my body." My sister sighed.
"Yes, it's a pity that the fog is too thick, otherwise we should be able to see the moon." Mom looked up.
"What is the moon?" my sister asked curiously.
"The moon is the moon. It is like a bright lamp, very beautiful. Sometimes it is like a disk, and sometimes it is like a crescent."
"It's amazing. I really want to see the moon."
The whole family looked up together at this moment.
But there was nothing to see except dark clouds.
At this moment, Lin Mo really wanted to split the sky with a knife, so that his sister could see the moon.
The waving mother clapped her hands, then said to Lin Mo: "Luomi, it's time for you to go."
Lin Mo's heart twitched and he nodded.
He found the place with the white doll painted on it, stood on the edge, and told Nie Hong that they could leave the asylum by jumping from there.
Nie Hong nodded: "I'll wait for you outside."
After saying that, he jumped down without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, Nie Hong's figure disappeared into the darkness.
"This little girl really trusts you. Whenever you tell her to jump, she jumps. It's great to have a friend like her." Mom said jokingly.
Lin Mo couldn't laugh anymore at this time.
"I'll wait a while before I go."
As a mental patient, Lin Mo could feel that there was only a little mental power left on the paper bag head, but it would not disappear in at least a few minutes.
He wanted to wait until the last moment.
"Let's go. Mom wants to see you leave the asylum safely."
"But I..."
Before Lin Mo finished speaking, he suddenly felt someone pushing him.
Suddenly he fell from the roof.
The moment he fell, he saw his three family members on the roof. His mother and sister were waving goodbye, and even his father was standing next to them waving.
"It must have been Dad who pushed me just now."
This thought flashed through Lin Mo's mind, and the next moment, he felt himself falling to the ground.
When I looked up again, I found myself standing on a beach.
In front of me is the sea connected to the darkness.
Faintly, there seemed to be an island in the distance.
Nie Hong stood not far away, looked at Lin Mo, and said: "Your paper bag head..."
Lin Mo reached out and touched it hurriedly.
That’s all.
Sure enough, it’s gone.
Not only was the physical object gone, but not even a trace of spiritual energy was left.
Lin Mo didn't say anything. He looked at the island in the distance for a long time. Then he sighed and asked Nie Hong to leave.
