Love in a mental hospital

Chapter 361 Beauty is motivation

Darkness is an ocean in which one cannot breathe.

Fortunately, Gu Ran could hold his breath for twenty to thirty minutes, during which time he could stay safe in the dark.

Recently, whether it was due to [Parapsychology·The Heart Sutra of Controlling Women] or the influence of [Strange Dream·Cannon Fist], Gu Ran felt that his body was getting better.

Now, perhaps he could survive in the darkness for a longer time.

But where is this?

Gu Ran looked around, there was nothing, or maybe there was, but he couldn't see it.

My body felt like it was falling into the deep sea. I couldn’t see clearly, but I could feel myself sinking.

Gu Ran twisted his body to stop falling, and with all his strength flowing through his limbs, his body shot up like a sharp arrow.

Behind him, a child with a schoolbag on his back was running breathlessly. The ridge of the field was so deep that you couldn't see your fingers. If he wasn't careful, he would easily fall. He might fall into the field or into the muddy stream.

Occasionally, phosphorous fire flashed around the child, and graves appeared and disappeared in the cold light.

As this picture appeared, Gu Ran seemed to have gained some kind of power, and his speed of moving upwards became faster and faster.

Suddenly, he turned around again, stopped his momentum, and looked into the depths of the Black Sea as if he was suspended in the air.

The running child also looked back, his face full of fear, as if he had seen a monster.

Gu Ran could see clearly that there was indeed a monster, but the monster was the child himself. The graveyard, the forest, the heaven and earth were all silent, as they were frightened by him and dared not make a sound.

Gu Ran dived down.

There are no monsters in the darkness, Zhuang Jing said, the divine power in a small space can trap the mind.

Those who have died will only be resurrected in your heart when you allow them to be resurrected. There is nothing to be afraid of.

Gu Ran swam downstream for more than an hour without even caring about breathing.

The child ran so fast that I could never catch up with him at his speed.

Don't be afraid

Don't be afraid!
Gu Ran reached out to the child's back.

He tried to grab the child twice, but failed to touch him. It was not until the third time that Gu Ran grabbed the child.

"Don't be afraid, we'll go together."

Gu Ran was suddenly startled and woke up.

The waves were roaring, and he stood in the crystal clear waves. In front of him was a beautiful island. The beach was like snow in the sun, and the coconut trees were emerald green, with leaves like gems adorning the treetops.

Gu Ran waded through the sea step by step towards the island.

He was wearing a white coat, the kind of clothing he wore to work.

Standing on the beach, Gu Ran looked around in a trance, confirming that this was indeed Sunlight Island.

But was this a lucid dream or a black dragon dream? What was the darkness just now? Wasn't he swimming towards the bottom of the sea? How did he suddenly come out of the sea?

boom!
The world is spinning.

In an instant, he was like a small fish that had taken a bite of the hook and was pulled to the surface of the water by an irresistible force.

"Ha, ha, ha." Gu Ran woke up, gasping.

"What's wrong?" Yan Hanxiang saw that something was wrong with him.

"No, nothing." Gu Ran was still in shock. "I feel like I'm being tricked."

"I didn't hook you."

"No." This joke made Gu Ran relax a lot. He smiled and said, "I'm not sure if it was a lucid dream or a black dragon dream. I just went to Sunlight Island, and the moment I was suddenly awakened, it was as if I was an ornament in a sandbox, and was suddenly taken out of the sandbox by the owner of the sandbox."

Yan Hanxiang looked him over and said, "Pour you a cup of hot tea."

"OK, thanks."

"Forget it, it's too much trouble."

Gu Ran smiled bitterly: "Then I'll do it myself, do you want to drink?"

"Black tea." Yan Hanxiang crossed her arms and smiled as if to tease him.

Gu Ran brewed a cup of black tea and a cup of green tea. It should have a more specific name, such as Junmei black tea, but he had no interest and was not in the mood to pay attention.

The handsome young doctor, the stunningly beautiful female professor, each with a cup of tea and snacks were Gu Ran’s brief dream just now.

"Auntie Xiang, I want to try the perfume I used just now again." Gu Ran said.

"It has nothing to do with perfume." The beautiful professor murmured while sipping black tea. She leaned on the workbench, making her waist look even thinner.

"It's nothing to do with perfume?"

"I have studied dream fragrance for many years. I know very well what effects a dream fragrance can have. Your situation has nothing to do with perfume."

"What is that?" Gu Ran was puzzled.

Yan Hanxiang raised her picturesque little face and asked, "Did you go through something?"

"What happened?" Gu Ran was even more confused.

"It looks like you've captured Sunlight Island."

Got it.
It can't be because Zhuang Jing said that he was only allowed to study "Parapsychology: The Heart Sutra of Controlling Women" with him on Sunlight Island, right?
"It seems like you really went through something." Yan Hanxiang said.

"Could it be because Su Qing might still have Qing Yan?" Gu Ran said.

"Beauty is indeed one of the biggest motivations." Yan Hanxiang laughed, "Don't drink anymore, hurry up, try again, don't think about beauty, you can stabilize Sunlight Island, which is a great discovery."

"I don't understand what you and Aunt Jing are talking about." Gu Ran was just dreaming.

Putting down the teacup, he lay down again on the small bed filled with the deadly scent.

After Gu Ran fell asleep, Yan Hanxiang did not look away. If he could fix Sunlight Island, could other dreams also be fixed? What about Beicheng Dream? Could it be fixed as well?

She even forgot to drink her tea.

◇

Gu Ran rushed into the dark sea again, then stopped at a certain moment and turned to look into the depths of the darkness.

The child is running.

Come on, Gu Ran, it's time to wake up from the nightmare.

Gu Ran swooped down!

The moment he caught the child, he stood in the transparent sea again. In front of him was Nikko Island. Looking into the distance, he could still see the hill where he once shouted so loudly.

'Blackbird,' he said to himself.

A shadow rushed out from the shadow of the coconut tree and pounced on Gu Ran like a crash.

"Plop!" The waves along the coast cracked open, and the crystal clear sea water turned into spots of light in the air, as if swallowing the sunlight.

"What's going on?" Gu Ran was extremely confused.

His strong hind limbs were gone, and he could feel his hands and feet, but he lay on the beach as if he had no hands or feet, with his head right on the sand. When the waves came, the waves could reach his chin, and when the waves receded, his 'neck' was completely exposed.

Gu Ran turned around and looked at himself.

As he turned around, he instinctively thought: It's inconvenient to look back like this.

So, when the dragon turned around, its entire body hovered and floated in the air.

"It turned into a Chinese dragon? But what's up with these bat wings?" Gu Ran was puzzled.

Despite his confusion, he was surprisingly calm.

His view on appearance has never changed: no matter how ugly he is, he will not exchange himself for someone beautiful or handsome, but he can accept becoming handsome.

As long as it's yourself, that's enough.

The snake-like dragon circled in place, took a vague look at the sea surface, and then flew into the island without much concern.

After circling the island, he checked the 'Dragon Flame Oven Cave' and the 'Dragon Claw Cave' and confirmed that this was the Sunlight Island and not other similar islands.

It's the same dream.

How did they do it? Was it because of Su Qing, Qingyan, or Zhuang Jing? Or were they all the iron chains that fixed Sunlight Island?
What is the dark sea? Why do I see my past self when I was in school?
Can he keep other dreams?
The snake-like dragon hovered on the top of the mountain. It seemed easier to hover in the air than to lie on the ground.

As he pondered, he kept an eye on the sea to see if there were any seabirds gathering. However, it was noon, and there were many people taking a nap, but it certainly couldn't compare to the night, like the off-season.

Gu Ran also wanted to get familiar with his new body, to see if it had any new abilities, and if there had been any changes in his physical strength.

It definitely wouldn't work on Nikko Island. Gu Ran would feel sad if a tree fell down, so the only way to try it was to go to the sea, but that would scare the seabirds.

Forget it.

So what if the seabirds gathered? He only had five minutes.

In a hurry, try out the speed: the snake dragon rushed to the sea in an instant.

The speed is undoubtedly faster, like a cannonball fired.

Strength——

Gu Ran subconsciously wanted to extend his claws, only to find that his claws were pitifully small compared to his body. Whenever he used his claws, he felt like a poisonous snake that had been caught by its vital points and had no way out. He could only use his body to entangle the opponent to death.

He gave up his claws and instead used his transformed dragon tail to whip the sea surface hard.

Bang!
He was stunned. The sea water rushed down and hit the sea surface with a crackling sound. It was like a huge rainstorm, but it lasted for a very short time.

Not only is the speed like a cannonball, but every part of the body seems to be able to exert the power of a cannonball.

This made Gu Ran think of the "cannon fist".

What does that mean? Sunlight Island, Cannon Fist, why do they seem to suggest that he is a pervert?
No, no, no, Gu Ran, what is trapping you is not the difficulty itself, but the negative suggestions in your imagination. You are definitely not a pervert.

There is no other boy as pure as you in the world, huh!
After calming the mind and gaining a general understanding of the body, the next step is superpowers - for dragons, the word "super" seems a bit redundant.

Gu Ran opened his mouth and let the feeling of dragon flames surge out of his body.

Then, the sky and the earth suddenly darkened, or no, it seemed to light up at the same time. This contradictory feeling was all due to the huge light coming out of the snake-shaped dragon's mouth.

A ball of fire, about ten centimeters in diameter.

This was not Gu Ran's full strength. According to his own feeling, if he exerted all his strength, he could probably spray out a fireball with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters.

Time is precious. Aiming at the sea, Gu Ran quickly spits out the fireball.

It was clearly a fireball, but it flew as fast as a cannonball and hit the target with a whoosh.

After hitting the sea, the fireball suddenly exploded again, bounced high up, and rushed into the sky, dragging a dazzling blue-green light.

This is not a fireball, it's ball lightning!
The most mysterious lightning in nature is so powerful that it is said to be able to penetrate enclosed spaces such as walls and spin freely like it did just now.

The "fireball" exploded in the air, and a large area of ​​the sky was dyed red. The air there seemed to have turned into sea water, gushing out in all directions like huge waves.

The wind was howling and the trees on Sunlight Island were rustling. If it were a human, I would probably feel like my scalp was being blown off.

The strong light made Gu Ran unable to open his eyes for a moment. The bat dragon wings moved slightly, blocking his head and blocking the heat and strong wind.

powerful!
The serpentine dragon suspended in the air opened its mouth again, this time using all its strength.

According to Gu Ran's estimation, if it were in reality, even a piece of copper could be turned into copper slurry.

The next moment, Gu Ran was "hooked" up like a dead dog.

◇

"."

"You look like you were interrupted. What's wrong?" Yan Hanxiang handed over the green tea.

"My transformed form has also changed." Gu Ran took the green tea and reported while drinking it.

Yan Hanxiang couldn't help but smile naturally when she saw his excited look.

During the following lunch break, the two conducted repeated experiments and confirmed one thing: as long as Gu Ran wanted to dream and repeated his actions in the Dark Sea, he would be able to enter Sunlight Island.

"Unfortunately, the possibility of replicating this miracle is very small." Yan Hanxiang speculated, "Other dreams, including those that can give you parapsychology, are not as attractive to you as beauty."

"I——" Gu Ran hesitated to speak.

It may also be impossible to refute, especially when facing Yan Hanxiang.

"It's getting late, let's go back. Don't let me down tonight. I also want to go to the island and take a look." Yan Hanxiang said with a smile.

"Ok."

Standing in the corridor bathed in autumn sunshine, Gu Ran couldn't help but think: This time it shouldn't be a hint, he really wants to go to Sunlight Island.

He was in a good mood.

So when I met nurse Meiyangyang in the sanatorium, I wanted to tease her.

"I heard it." Gu Ran said with a smile.

"What did you hear?" Nurse Meiyangyang looked at him in confusion.

"You secretly took the civil service exam."

"No, I didn't."

Gu Ran raised a finger: "A cup of milk tea."

"I didn't!" Nurse Meiyangyang said in a firm tone.

"I might accidentally talk to Su Qing about it, and Su Qing might accidentally talk to the dean about it. I wonder if they will guess that you secretly practiced during work hours?"

“.Okay!” Nurse Meiyangyang is about to turn into Red Wolf.

"I want Fei Lintao to treat us." said Gu Ran.

"Okay, I'll talk to him, but I don't care whether he invites me or not~" Nurse Meiyangyang laughed.

In the afternoon, it was Gu Ran's class, so he simply continued teaching Xie Xiya and let everyone sit in.

He walked onto the stage with a cup of milk tea in his hand, and the nurse Feiyangyang in the audience gnashed her teeth.

"Today we are going to have psychiatry class and talk about An Yao."

Li Xiaoye and Master Aqiu's eyes lit up.

"What do you think of the patient's symptoms disappearing after only five days in hospital?"

"Pretending to be sick!" Li Xiaoye said.

"Whether it's good or not, I think we should observe more." Master Aqiu looked compassionate.

"That's right, we need to continue observing!" Li Xiaoye agreed strongly.

Gu Ran took a sip of the milk tea and said, "It's delicious. It tastes better than ball lightning. I've tried it for everyone. You don't have to try ball lightning anymore."

"Ball lightning? Which milk tea shop's new product is that?" Nurse Meiyangyang, who was also drinking milk tea, whispered to the nurse next to her.

The nurse shrugged slightly.

Meanwhile, the dean's office.

Yan Hanxiang gave all the sorted information to Zhuang Jing.

After reading the information, Zhuang Jing couldn't help but reveal a charming, elegant and genuine smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Yan Hanxiang asked curiously.

"Finally, the day came when Xiaoran completely broke free from the darkness and brought back something incomparably beautiful."

《Personal Diary》: October 19, Monday, Jinghai

At noon, I went to Aunt Xiang’s office to continue the experiment.

I have captured Sunlight Island and transformed myself into a snake-shaped dragon that combines Chinese and Western elements. Let me change my name to Shenlong!

Well, it’s too early to call it that now. Since flying is easier than lying on the ground, why not call it Sky Dragon?

It can also spray ball lightning, so its full name is 'Lightning Sky Dragon'?
Wait, Sky Lightning Dragon? Sky Flash Dragon? Sky Flash Dragon? Electric Sky Dragon?

No, why not just call it this - Human God?
----

"Doctor's Diary":
There is absolutely no ghostwriting and I will never ask others to write for me, please believe me!

In addition, I have landed on Sunlight Island and would like to report to you.

(Zhuang Jing’s comment: Don’t go to Sunlight Island every night and give up the possibility of dreams.)
