515 The Queen's Determination
Accompanied by the harsh metal friction sound, the two golden giant doors in front of the royal court began to slowly open to the inside.
The candlelight cast from the outside aisle left a thin golden line in the dark royal court. Unlike other brightly lit areas in the castle, the throne that should have been the most shining, but was shrouded in darkness.
"Do you even have a window here?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the darkness ahead.
"This castle was designed by the Queen himself." The guard maid with wavy hair explained, and then asked in a low voice: "Have your body recovered? We are going back to support Lord Rodill..."
"Go." Lin Chi nodded.
After getting his permission, he carried another maid from Zhen next to him, put the girl in Lin Chi's arms, and then turned around and rushed towards the reception room, preparing to fight to the death with the armor driven by the undead magic.
Lin Chi hugged the girl who was still in a coma and walked into the dark hall. As soon as he stepped into the throne hall, the uninhabited door behind him suddenly closed heavily, locking him and Zhen inside.
“…”
Lin Chi looked around silently, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything here, and he could hardly see anything.
——The task in the contract is to "enter the royal court". Now that I have completed the task, it is logical that I should discover something.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi was about to find something that could shine, but a strong white light suddenly lit up behind Wang Ting, reflecting the nearby area.
Appearing in the center of the light is the dark throne cast by obsidian, which is connected to the floor below. Although it is not as gorgeous as the living room and the main hall, it inexplicably exudes a strong sense of oppression, which makes people feel the urge to "kneel".
"You are here." A cold female voice rang from behind the throne.
While speaking, the girl in a white dress walked out from behind the throne. Whether it was height, body shape or appearance, they were exactly the same as Zhen, and looked like she was carved from the same mold.
Seeing this girl, Lin Chi immediately realized the other party’s identity: “Are you the queen?”
"That's right, here is the ruler of this royal city." The queen nodded slightly, and although her voice was tender, she had a hint of pressure: "You two, welcome to the royal court."
"So you have been hiding here all the time, avoiding the sight of the guard?" Lin Chi frowned and looked at the girl next to the throne.
"Yes." The queen admitted without any vagueness: "I know you will come here, so I deliberately arranged it..."
"But your personal guards will be completely destroyed." Lin Chi reminded.
"It's okay, the guards are not so weak that they can't even handle a scroll." The queen curled her lips and added: "If they really can't handle it, there is no need to exist."
Seeing that the Queen was not concerned about the life and death of the personal guards, Lin Chi did not continue to worry about this issue, but just got to the point: "Do you have anything to say to me?"
He knew very well that as the queen of Zhen's personality fragment, she should have noticed the truth of the matter like Zhen in the apartment world. As expected, the girl in white veil stood in front of the throne, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice:
"Yes, because I was created by her, I actually knew it a long time ago."
Unlike the simple and easy-to-deception "subject" in Lin Chi's arms, the other personalities that Zhen splits out have a better understanding of the situation of this space.
The queen took a step back, sat on the cold throne, and whispered: "Did you find it too? This space has begun to become unstable."
"I guess they were doing electric shock therapy outside." Lin Chi smiled.
"Yeah, that's a damn ECT, I heard the nurse say this name." The queen nodded.
Electro-convulsive-therapy (ECT) is abbreviated as ECT, and has been used to treat major depression, manic psychosis and severe schizophrenia.
Although some "doctors" who cheated on their fathers have swearing that this therapy has no side effects, the medical community generally believes that this therapy can also cause many sequelae including reduced IQ, brain dysfunction and learning disabilities, and may even cause patients to lose some memory.
Because of this, this therapy with great side effects has gradually been abandoned. By 2035, it has long since completely withdrawn from the stage of history.
However, the hospital where Jen is located obviously did not give up the attempt to use electric shock therapy to treat psychopaths.
"Can you see what's happening outside?" Lin Chi asked curiously.
"I can see occasionally... but this is a deep space, so there are not many opportunities." The Queen sighed a little annoyed: "But I can see occasionally the white ceiling and the nurses walking around."
"Are you sure that there is the real world?" Lin Chi looked down at the girl who was still unconscious in her arms.
"I don't know, but I think it should be the real reality." The queen's voice was filled with a hint of doubt: "Because the 'feeling' there is very different from here."
"What's the difference?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.
"Although it is perfect here, everything is what I like the most, it is really unreal. Although that space has shortcomings, it is more like a real world." The queen said and sighed again, blinking her eyes constantly, as if she was a little hesitant.
After being silent for about a minute, she seemed to have finally plucked up her courage, raised her head calmly, and looked at Lin Chi who had walked to the throne: "I also thought of continuing to hide here and spending my life comfortably as a queen. But now they are beginning to destroy the world from the outside, I know that I may not be able to continue living like this..."
"How about leaving with us?" Lin Chi asked.
Hearing this, the queen smiled slightly, but shook her head: "Forget it, I'm just a useless clone. The girl in your arms is the subject. Even if I go over together, when she wakes up and sees me, I'll probably be swallowed by her."
Speaking of this, the eyes of the girl in white lit up a green light, and a bright smile appeared on her face again, as if she had seen a toy-loving child sitting on the throne and shaking her hanging legs:
"I did a little trick when I entered that space last time. Now, I will use all my strength to open the door for you and let you enter the passage to the real world."
"Remember, take good care of her. If you can, kill that doctor and treat it as avenge me." The queen smiled and raised her right hand, and a flashing square space door appeared in front of her body.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Lin Chi did not continue to force her, but nodded and said, "Hold on, I will kill the doctor who uses electric shock therapy."
As he stepped into the space door, the scenery in front of him began to blur quickly. At the last moment before his hearing disappeared, the voice of the girl in white floated over:
Chapter completed!
