Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly

Chapter 1 Fake, All Fake!

On the third floor of the empty lunatic asylum, a few caregivers sat in the corner and fell asleep. A patient wearing a hospital gown was answering the attending physician's questions.

This patient has a handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing. A pair of sword-shaped eyebrows and piercing eyes. He didn't look like a mental patient, but judging from what the doctor said, this person seemed to have severe delusions.

"So, Li Pu, what does this sword look like in your eyes?" the attending physician asked.

On the table, there is a cool new plastic sword and a fairy tale book.

"Doctor, I have been receiving treatment here for ten years. You have to ask these questions every time I apply for discharge."

Li Pu picked up the plastic sword and said somewhat speechlessly: "It is not the Supreme Divine Sword, it is just a plastic sword, and it seems that you just bought it - please don't use this kind of thing to test me again. "

After hearing this, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and took notes.

"So, Lip, do you still feel that there is a 'fourth wall' in the world?" The attending doctor raised his head and asked, "Or something like a lens?"

"Honestly, even today, when I'm not taking medication, I still see those shots."

"But I know that this is all fake and my imagination."

Li Pu looked at the camera here and said:

"There is no fourth wall or camera, and we are not characters living in a book!"

"I can already tell the difference."

"Well, not bad. If you can distinguish this, it's already very good, Li Pu."

The attending physician was very satisfied and comforted him: "Although according to the diagnosis, your hallucination may be permanent. But after you are discharged from the hospital, as long as you take the medicine on time and have regular examinations, it will not have any impact on your life." Make an impact.”

"Doctor, my application has been approved? Can I be discharged from the hospital?!" Li Pu was a little excited.

"Li Pu, as your attending physician, I have always seen the improvement of your condition."

The attending physician put down his pen and said seriously: "I have made some efforts, and after many discussions at the hospital, the experts also believe that you have met the prerequisites for discharge."

"--but."

The attending physician changed the topic and picked up the old fairy tale book on the table: "You must pass the last test."

Looking at the fairy tale book, Li Pu closed his eyes deeply.

At this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Ten years. During these ten years of treatment, he missed his best youth, his lover and future, and he also felt ashamed of his parents and family.

The root of all this is because of this fairy tale book.

It's time to face this book and start a new life!
  "I'm not a time traveler, I don't have a golden finger. This is not a book of creation and redemption, it's just a fairy tale book."

"I am not the supreme savior. I am just me, an ordinary person. A pitiful lunatic who originally lived in this world."

After talking to himself, Li Pu took a deep breath and opened the fairy tale book full of pictures.

But in his eyes, there was no picture on it. Just one line of text:
  【Li Pu】

[Identity: Supreme God? Savior? Delusional? In any case, you are really sick now. So much so that after you got the Book of Creation and Redemption, you haven't completed any tasks yet. 】

[Status: Extreme paranoia (you imagine yourself to be an ordinary person)]

【Attributes:
  Power: 1
  Dexterity: 1
  Wisdom: 1]

[Attack power: 2 (Basic power 1 = attack power 1, brand new Supreme Sword (plastic quality) = attack power 1;)]

[Defense: 1 (half-old robe of the gods/half-old hospital gown defense bonus 1)]

[Health: 1/1 (Strength 1 = Health 1)]

[Magic/divine power value: 1/1 (wisdom 1=magic/divine power 1)]

[To quote Li Pu’s words to complain, that is:
  "It's been a hundred thousand years. The Forbidden Creator and the Creation Gods have nothing to do with me. They can only imprison me in this evil paradise and try every means to make me think that I am just a lunatic. I won't believe it."
-
  He has not yet left the madhouse and completed Tadar's first mission. 】

Seeing this, Li Pu sighed. I don’t know when I will start seeing narrations like this in any book I read. Many jokes were made.

Now, it's been ten years.

The twists and turns are hard to describe.

At this time, a new line of text suddenly appeared in the book in front of you:
  [——"What is it that envelopes 'Saint Tadar'? Gods, or the prophesied supreme savior. Whoever it is, please answer our prayers!!" (Queen Margaret) His Majesty)】

Suddenly, the text in the book changed again:

[Main Mission Zero: The Summoning of Santadar—the ‘Holy Angel’ of salvation and destruction! 】

[Explanation: You are destined to go 'there' to rebuild heaven and give salvation to the mad gods or die in their hands. 】

[Go quickly, go to Santa Dal - you are already ten years late. The 'holy spore angel' who is destined to meet you for the first time has awakened three months ago. 】

"Li Pu, what did you see in the book?" the doctor asked.

"It's a simple but interesting illustration." Li Pu pointed to the text in front of him and said, "It depicts a strange mountain. In the mountain are a sheep, a tiger, and a mad rabbit that escaped from a madhouse."

"In addition, there is no text in it." Li Pu looked at the dense text in the book and added: "I remember you said that my previous book was a children's book, so there were some simple words on it. But there is no text in the book in my hand, so this book is not mine, but a reading book specially made for patients in the hospital."

"Oh? Did you actually see it? You also saw the story in the illustration."

The doctor nodded with satisfaction. Li Pu was right.

Suddenly, the words in the book changed again.

[You can’t see the picture at all! Stop fooling yourself! You mentioned the illustrations in the book because you cheated! 】

'Fake! all fake! Li Pu was sweating profusely, but he pretended to be calm: "This book only has pictures, no text!" '
  "Let's start talking, Li Pu." The doctor pointed to the line "You can't see the picture at all" and said, "Let's start with this rabbit."

Li Pu began to tell the first fairy tale - the story of the rabbit escaping from the madhouse and saving the sheep from the tiger's mouth.

[It turns out that the nurse who took care of Li Pu has gone crazy - before this test, the nurse stole this book for his 'Holy Majesty' and told him every story in it. Ask Li Pu to memorize all the contents in the book. 】

[But this cheating plan has a fatal flaw - Li Pu memorized all the stories and knew the page number of each story, but he could not see the page number! 】

[In other words, if the attending physician turns to a random page and asks him to speak, he will make a mistake. 】

Soon, the rabbit's story was finished.

The doctor took the book with an expressionless face, opened a page at random, and asked Li Pu to continue talking.

After looking at it twice, Li Pu told the second story - it was a fairy tale about a monk and a monkey.

Next, the doctor continued to randomly turn the pages of the book and asked Li Pu about the content of the pictures on the pages.

Li Pu told the doctor one fairy tale after another with great emotion. He pretended to have seen the illustrations in the book, but in his eyes, the words in the book kept reminding him of the consequences of 'test failure' - they continued to torture Li Pu.

[Side Mission Zero: Test in the Madhouse]

[Success reward:
  努力通过的测试*1、“果然都是我的幻觉，果然，我有病！”*1、永远消失的召唤*1、半旧的病服*1、塑料剑*1、童话故事书*1】

[Failure reward:
  被你放弃的测试*1、“卑劣的创世神们！疯狂的真相*1、圣.塔达尔人的召唤*1、众神之袍*1、至高神剑*1、创世救赎之书*1、全属性+3】

"That's it." Li Pu closed the fairy tale book and asked, "Do you want to continue, doctor?"

The attending physician didn't answer. He took the fairy tale book, looked through it, and checked the stories Li Pu had just told.

‘I don’t know if I just told the wrong story. 'Li Pu secretly wiped the sweat from his palms.

After a while, the attending physician placed a test paper in front of Li Pu expressionlessly.

Regardless of whether the story is told correctly or not, the test paper is a necessary process. Li Pu did not dare to ask the attending physician whether he had told the wrong story, so he could only bite the bullet and write the test paper.

After finishing the test paper, the attending physician said something meaningful.

"Your test scores are very good, but what about the stories you just told?" The attending physician shook his head and said no more.

Li Pu's heart skipped a beat.

I must have told the wrong story just now.

"But, Li Pu." After a pause, the attending physician raised his head and said, "In a sense, you no longer have cognitive problems - at least you can tell that this is a fairy tale. I have read the book. I also know that we do not live in the world of the book.”

"Tomorrow, the experts will conduct a final consultation with you. After that, you can be discharged."

Li Pu was granted amnesty. For a moment, he felt a mixture of ups and downs in his heart, and he couldn't help crying with joy. Ten years have passed and I finally passed!

Finally able to go home!

What are your parents like now? My mother hasn't been here for a long time. I don't know if she is sick. But my father didn't say much.

In the past ten years, my family has spent an unknown amount of money on treating me. I have to make money quickly to treat my mother!
  But after I am discharged from the hospital, can I still work?

Would anyone want to hire a psychopath?
  I am already out of touch with society.

The attending physician noticed that Li Pu was a little excited and encouraged and comforted him.

The two have known each other for ten years and have a good relationship. As Li Pu's attending doctor, he hopes Li Pu can be discharged from the hospital more than Li Pu. He has also been working hard to help Li Pu.

Therefore, both of them were very emotional today.

Li Pu and the doctor chatted for a while. Afterwards, the attending physician stuffed the book and toy sword into Li Pu's arms and personally walked him to the door.

But after opening the door, it turned out that the door outside was not a corridor, but outside the building. This door originally seemed to be a window, but at this moment, it was transformed into a door by the courtyard. Take a step forward and you'll fall out of the building.

Looking down, there is a large balcony downstairs. Even if he fell, he would fall into the balcony downstairs. In the playground further down, in addition to inflatable mattresses, there are also dense crowds.

"Go back to your room with peace of mind. Get a good sleep tonight. You can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." As the attending physician said, he winked at the caregivers on the balcony downstairs to let them pay attention to Li Pu's actions.

It seems that this is the last test. If this patient really moves forward, he will need to continue to stay in the hospital for observation.

The entire lunatic asylum worked hard for this most special patient in history.

At this moment, Li Pu was sweating profusely.

As the key tenant in the lunatic asylum, Li Pu has seen all kinds of tricks used by doctors.

He could guess from the doctor's actions that something was wrong. But at this time, he couldn't tell whether it was a door or a balcony.

Because in his eyes at this time, the balcony in front of him was a door - the fog was thick outside the door, and a magnificent and decaying castle appeared in the fog like a mirage.

‘What is the real scene right in front of me?
  Is there a door in front of me or a wall? ! '
  Li Pu couldn't even see the balcony in front of him.

The attending physician's gaze became more profound.

Li Pu smiled and said to the doctor: "Doctor, I will go back first."

In the disappointed eyes of the attending physician, Li Pu stepped onto the balcony.

With a thump, Li Pu fell downstairs, and then his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

‘It turns out to be a balcony’
  When Li Pu regained consciousness, he found himself lying on the balcony downstairs.

There was still heavy fog outside the balcony, and there were a lot of faint shouts downstairs.

Silently picking up the plastic sword and book on the ground, Li Pu sat on the balcony dully, his heart filled with despair.

A severely mentally ill patient who is unable to take care of himself is a huge burden to a family.

He was unable to participate in labor production and had to be watched all the time. What is even more worrying is that his illness has caused tremendous mental torture to himself and his parents.

At the beginning, Li Pu always believed that his illness would be cured.

But now, after ten years of treatment and torture, Li Pu has a complete understanding of his condition.

This is terminal illness.

What happened today can be regarded as completely shattering his last hope for the future life.

This is a terminal illness! ! !

"Should I be grateful that I didn't fall to death, or should I be grateful?"

A voice interrupted Li Pu's soliloquy.

"Happy? You should be lucky that the balcony of my room is just downstairs from the prayer room! Stop being delusional, my dear, cough, cough, cough, cough."

A cold female voice came from behind the curtains.

After dry coughing, the woman said angrily: "Please stop having delusions!"

"My dear Cardinal Ayesha!"

"Those summoning doors you mentioned do not exist! They are all your illusions!"

"The savior does not exist at all. If we want to survive this strange plague, we can only rely on ourselves, cough cough, cough cough."

The woman behind the curtain started coughing again.

Li Pu looked behind him in shock.

Behind him is a huge and thick red gold curtain, and between the gaps in the curtain is a magnificent and spacious bedroom.

In a corner of the bedroom, several sick maids were carefully wiping a crown.

Suddenly, the golden pattern in the big red curtain gradually twisted into a text.

[Side mission zero (completed?? Failed??)]

【完成？？失败？？奖励：塔达尔人的召唤*1、半旧的病服*1、塑料剑*1、童话故事书*1、力量+3】

'This this.'
  "Don't be in a daze, Ayesha, you can't die yet. At least the two of us can't die yet."

As if considering that the next words were not suitable for spreading, the woman coughed and kicked all the servants out of the house.

After a while, the room became quiet. There was a sound of barefoot walking and undressing coming from the room.

After a while, a graceful figure walked through the gap in the curtains, then stopped by the wardrobe in front of the curtains and picked out a Victorian-style dress.

"Okay, Ayesha, cheer up. You have time to be in a daze here, why not help me think about who should be the 'evil god' or the 'devil' today. And whose head should we chop off."

The woman's voice was pleasant, but the underlying message sent chills down the spine.

Snow-white thighs were looming through the gaps in the curtains. While changing her clothes, the woman said to the outside of the curtains: "After all, my dear people are all in the square, waiting for the two of us to lead the nobles and priests to inspire people."

It sounds like Her Majesty the Queen is not an ordinary shady person. Moreover, she especially likes to chop off heads - she plans to drag a random person to the square and slander him as the culprit of the plague, and then execute him in public.

[It seems that Queen Margaret must not worry about this matter. Because, as long as she opens the curtain]

The pattern on the curtain changed again, and the pattern gradually formed a text:
  [Side mission one: prove identity]

[Completion rewards: The Supreme Savior in People’s Hearts*1, the Sacred ‘Tadar’ Magic Kingdom*1, Queen and Archbishop’s Beloveds*N, Free Attributes +3]

[Reward for failure: Unidentified mental illness*1, sacred ‘Tadar’ Square*1, strange lovers who pay attention to you through the lens*N, beheading +1]

[Hint: In the prophecy, the savior comes from heaven. No matter how imaginative the Queen is, she probably won't associate the 'robe of the gods' with the standard clothing of a lunatic asylum.

Besides, Her Beautiful Majesty the Queen will not wait until tomorrow to open the curtains. 】

Li Pu couldn't help but subconsciously look at his outfit - a blue and white hospital gown.

Gotta get out of here as soon as possible!
  At this moment, there was a crash, and the bright red curtain was suddenly opened by the Banguo woman inside.

The two stared at each other for a long time. The queen took a few steps back in fear. She covered her chest with her clothes and asked in a panic: "Who are you?!"

"If I say... well, I mean if."

Li Pu coughed and said bravely: "If I said I was the savior, would you believe it?"

"Guard!!! Guard. Guard woo woo woo"

A big hand viciously covered the Queen's mouth, and then held her tightly in his arms.

"Shh, don't shout!"

Li Pu put a plastic sword in front of the Queen's neck. But the queen struggled even harder.

In panic, the queen's clothes fell off her chest.

Feeling Miaoman's struggle in his arms, Li Pu sighed helplessly and could only tighten his arms.

"My dear friends, I don't know whether I can save Santadal today or not." Li Pu helplessly looked at the camera here and said: "But I know that I will probably be dragged to the square. Beheaded."
