The difference between this world and the one Fangzheng was familiar with was that the technological development of each region seemed to be quite equal.
That's right, according to historical development, due to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution, Europe and America should have been the leaders in the electrical industrial revolution. However, the situation in this world was like Asia, North America, Europe, and other places with an Einstein, Strahm, and Newton. It gave people the illusion that in a game of civilization, all forces had been promoted to the same level of civilization.
As for China and Japan, they had similarly raised their standards of civilization. Fangzheng even saw a passenger plane from China Airlines at Tokyo's airport. Yes, it was a big, black, and thick Russian plane. Coupled with the crude paint job, there was nothing more distinctive than this.
Sheyan wondered if this world would develop in the direction of 'Command and Conquer' or 'Red Alert' in the future.
With the help of the little angel, Fangzheng successfully entered the medical school of Tokyo University as a Doctor of Psychology. He would continue his work here. As for Miskatonic University... well, it could only be said that because of a sudden fire, all their collections were burned to ashes. It was a tragedy.
But what did that have to do with Fangzheng?
Fangzheng gave them a few hundred thousand US dollars as a donation, then left.
Fangzheng felt that Tokyo was no different from other places. The newspapers here were the same as other places. They only spent a small amount of space to describe the political, economic, and military issues. The rest of the space was used for all sorts of ghost stories, urban legends, and the exploration and introduction of mysterious villages.
Not only that, Fangzheng discovered something strange through reading the news.
That was, the "strange phenomenon" that happened in each region seemed to be different.
According to the description of the Asian newspapers, in China, it was more like the stories Fangzheng had read in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. Stories of animals turning into spirits were everywhere. It even forced the government to issue a special law to prohibit animals from turning into spirits. Apart from that, there were also stories of Taoist priests traveling and slaying ghosts, as well as some Fengshui. To put it simply, it was the same as the Starting Point City Supernatural Zone in 193X.
Fangzheng even found a section titled "Taoist priest Mao Xiaofang's travels", which was dedicated to the news of a Taoist priest named Mao Xiaofang slaying monsters and zombies?
However, the situation in Japan was a little special.
After all, according to Fangzheng's previous experience, these things on the news usually had a reason. For example, in European and American newspapers, if you saw a mass riot, a mysterious disappearance, or some other strange phenomenon, it was most likely the work of those cultists who believed in foreign gods and the rulers of the old days.
In China, there was a reason why monsters became spirits and zombies came out of their cages.
However, there were many things in Japan that didn't make sense. It was as if they suddenly appeared and then disappeared.
Take the newspaper in Fangzheng's hand for example. It described the "human head balloon" phenomenon that happened in Japan last year. It was about the sudden appearance of giant human head balloons in the northeast of Japan. These balloons would find their owners and hang them to death. Not only that, those balloons could not even be destroyed, because if they were destroyed, the owners of the balloons would also die like the balloons that were attacked.
For a period of time, people thought that it was the end of the world. But suddenly, one day, everything was over. Those human head balloons disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
There were many similar things. To put it simply, these things happened without any reason or reason. They just appeared, committed crimes, and then disappeared in the end.
Why did they appear? How did they appear? How did they disappear?
Although there were many different opinions on TV and in the newspapers, there was no accurate explanation.
"Sensei, the patient in bed 203 is awake."
Just then, Ryoko Asakura, who was wearing a nurse uniform, walked in and said to Fangzheng with a smile.
"Okay, I got it."
Looking at Ryoko Asakura, who was wearing a nurse uniform, Fangzheng could not help but nod. He had to admit that Japan was indeed a country that played with temptation to the extreme. Looking at Ryoko Asakura, who was wearing a pure white nurse uniform, white pantyhose, and a pair of white slippers …. This reminded Fangzheng of the "Night Shift" he had watched in his previous life ….
Should he ask Ying Lili and the others to wear the same uniform to "look after" him when he got back?
That seemed like a good idea.
By the way, Ryoko Asakura came to the hospital as Fangzheng's assistant, so Nimf could only stay at home. But with the help of her personal terminal, Nimf did not mind such a small matter.
Fangzheng 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 psychiatry department. He knocked lightly on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.
Soon, Fangzheng saw a young man who looked like a university student lying on the bed, staring at the door in panic. When he saw Fangzheng and Ryoko Asakura coming in, his face showed an expression of relief.
"Hello, doctor."
"Hello, Mr. Sasaka. How's the situation today?"
As he spoke, Fangzheng approached the bed and carefully looked at the man in front of him. His name was Iki Sasaka, a victim of a car accident. Although he did not look too badly injured, he seemed to be suffering from some kind of cognitive dissonance. Well, Fangzheng could understand this situation very well.
After all, his SAN had been reset to zero.
In fact, everything in this world had become extremely disgusting and indescribable in Iki Sasaka's eyes. According to his description, apart from himself, all other creatures he saw were monsters. Only Fangzheng and Ryoko Asakura were normal humans in his eyes. That was why Iki Sasaka was willing to tell them about his condition, hoping to get help so that he could return to a normal life.
With regards to this, Fangzheng naturally nodded in agreement. In fact, to him, Sasaka Ikuji was a very good experimental subject. He was different from those who had their SAN hit zero due to witnessing an Outer God or being mentally corrupted. Sasaka Ikuji's SAN had changed due to a physical impact. Therefore, Fangzheng wanted to try and see if he could change him back from a physical perspective.
If he succeeded, it would be a good reference for the situation of the Origin World being corrupted by Chaos.
"Thank goodness …"
Iki Sasaka had a complicated expression on his face as he looked at Fangzheng. Fangzheng chuckled and sat beside him.
"Hmm, let's talk about it. Do you feel like you can distinguish between food?"
"Hmm … Let me think. When it comes to food, I seem to be able to tell which are fruits, which are vegetables, and which are meat … but that's just the taste. In my eyes, they still look like rotten meatballs. Besides, when I talk to people other than you, Dr. Haruhino, their voices are still filled with murmurs. It's very ear-piercing and annoying."
"Hmm, I can understand that. But this is already a great improvement. Alright, close your eyes."
"Yes."
Iki Sasaka closed his eyes obediently after hearing Fangzheng's words. Then, Fangzheng gave Ryoko Asakura a look. She immediately left the ward and closed the door. Then, Fangzheng stretched out his right hand. Soon, a holy light appeared and enveloped Iki Sasaka. Feeling the holy light, Iki Sasaka's expression slowly relaxed.
"Alright, now listen to me. Recall your past memories. Think carefully about the grass, the sea of flowers, the lake in your memory.... Think about your friends...."
Fangzheng lowered his voice, and his voice was filled with divinity as it echoed in Kasaka Iki's ears.
"Recalling their original appearance, that's right … the appearance that they should have …"
What Fangzheng was trying to do was also a kind of Information Corruption. After communicating with Yogesothoth, Fangzheng's' Aspect of the Ancient God 'skill was upgraded to level 2, and he obtained a skill called' Demon of a Thousand Throats'. As usual, Fangzheng could not understand the skill. However, after Little Angel experimented with it, she told Fangzheng that the skill allowed Fangzheng to subtly change the information deviation of others through voice and whispers.
To put it simply, it was similar to the creatures in the Cthulhu Mythos who listened to the murmurs of the ancient gods, eventually turning into something that was neither human nor ghost. Fangzheng could also use this method to achieve a similar effect.
This time, Fangzheng used this ability. However, the original 'Demon of a Thousand Throats' was used to deviate a human's information. This time, Fangzheng intended to correct the deviated information back to the human's information.
Fortunately, Sasaka Ibuki cooperated with him, and the situation did change for the better. For example, in the beginning, everything in his eyes appeared to be distorted in a way that humans could not tolerate. But now, he was able to distinguish between scents and colors. This made Kasaka Ibuki even more excited, and he started to feel a sense of urgency to cooperate with the treatment.
But for Fangzheng, of course … more haste, less speed.
Soon, Iki Sasaka regained his composure. Fangzheng looked at his watch and stood up.
"That's it then. Today's treatment will end here."
"Ah, doctor."
At that moment, Iki Sasaka suddenly spoke up.
"About that …"
"What's the matter? Mr. Sasaka? "
"Yes, about that … Last night, I heard a very clear girl's voice coming from outside the door."
"… A girl's voice?"
"Yes, it wasn't Ms. Asakura's voice, but a younger one … I heard it very clearly. It sounded different from the others …"
"Hmm …"
Hearing Iki Sasaka's words, Fangzheng pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly.
"You probably overslept and heard it in your dreams."
"… Is that so?"
"Even if it's a dream, it's still a good start, isn't it? If you can experience normal life in your dreams, then it's only a matter of time before you return to normal life. "
"Is that so … That's good."
Iki Sasaka did not doubt Fangzheng's words. He let out a long sigh, then closed his eyes and lay back on the bed. Fangzheng walked out of the ward and gestured to Ryoko Asakura, who was standing nearby. Soon, Ryoko Asakura came over.
"What's the matter? Master? "
"You're in charge of keeping watch tonight. Pay attention to this ward. Don't let anything near it."
The corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up.
"Anything."
