When I woke up in Qingshan Mental Hospital, there was a black stone in my pocket with a ghost talisman engraved on it.
The doctor said I was crazy because I always said I saw shadows in white coats floating in the corridors and monsters that could eat people locked under the ward.
Until that day, the system exploded in my mind: [The Ten Thousand Realms Extraction System was successfully bound, and the novice gift pack: "Lord of Mysteries" clown characteristics!
Only then did I know——
Those "hallucinations" are real monsters in the Forbidden City. This mental hospital is a cage that holds the gods of the past, and the black stone in my palm is one of the keys to open the cage.
When the cleaning team in a strange situation broke into the ward with a soul-suppressing gun, when the monster in the painting crawled out of the paper and rushed toward me, when the three fragments resonated to awaken the sleeping god...
I clutched the fluorescent scroll of Harry Potter that I had just pulled out of the system, and smiled at the director of the Department of Foreign Affairs who was chasing me:
"Don't worry, I just got the Bone Tempering Pill from "Global Martial Arts". Give me a few more seconds to kill the gods? It's just a matter of convenience."
