The loss of lifespan was secondary; the main issue was the mental damage the experience of death inflicted on Shen Wei. It took him a good while to recover most of his mental composure. He looked at the laboratory interior with a solemn expression, seemingly deep in thought.

"Wanna try another simulation, kid?"

The Evil God's right hand asked cheekily.

"The mental impact of dying is too great for me. Let me recover a bit before simulating again..."

Shen Wei said, gasping for breath.

"Are you sure you can handle it? Weakling..."

The Evil God's right hand's tone was full of disdain!

"Nonsense! I'm not a weakling. I'm a macho man. Let's simulate again..."

Shen Wei forced himself to stand up. His Evil God's right hand let out a scheming laugh!

"Heh heh heh, that's more like it! Look at the eye pattern on my palm. Simulation start."

My name is Shen Wei. By the time you hear my name, I might already be dead, because I've been dragged into the Qingshan Mental Hospital anomaly. I've arrived at a terrifying underground laboratory here.

I put on a protective suit and walked inside cautiously. There were dried-up corpses everywhere, looking extremely horrifying. This time, there were no hallucinations. I walked smoothly into the experimental area.

Just then, the surrounding environment changed strangely again. I found myself inside a glass experimental chamber. Outside were a group of excited medical personnel, and inside the chamber were eight patients with ferocious expressions. They were strapped to metal chairs, their bodies injected with various differently colored drugs.

Then, the mental states of these mental patients suddenly became extremely unstable. They howled and screamed hysterically, and energy ripples even appeared in the air. At the same time, the chairs they were sitting on suddenly became electrified.

The intense electric current made them twitch all over, bleeding from all seven orifices. Then, unbelievably, one terrifying monster after another emerged from their bodies. These monsters then engaged in a horrific slaughter and devouring. After an unknown amount of time, the mental patients were dripping with blood and slumped in their chairs, heads hanging low, no longer knowing if they were dead or alive. But the monsters that had emerged from their bodies had finished devouring each other, transforming into a new monster. This thing was wearing a red doctor's coat, its face a blurry mess, impossible to see clearly.

I gasped. Could this be the process of the Red Coat Director's birth?

Then, the Red Coat Director let out a sharp laugh. The sharp laughter merged with the laughter of the medical personnel outside doing the experiment. Then, a terrifying monster ran out of each of their bodies. These monsters carried out a massive slaughter in the laboratory.

I saw many people being killed, and many people being captured. Thus, the situation reversed. The experimented-upon side became the experimenters, and the experimenters became the experimented-upon. The remaining eight mental patients used the same methods to inflict cruel torture on the medical personnel. Many medical personnel were also forced to kill and devour each other. Even Vice President Wu Kaiyuan and the President, whose face I couldn't see clearly, were locked in the same experimental chamber.

Some medical personnel couldn't withstand the torture and split off another, escape-oriented personality, which became the red-striped mental patients.

And the Red Coat Director was very interested in these red-striped mental patients. The Red Coat Director devoured them, and then gradually broke free from the control of these eight people, becoming an independent existence.

I watched as these eight mental patients impersonated doctors, managing the mental hospital. The large number of medical personnel who were tortured to death may have attracted outside attention. Finally, the scene changed! A large group of fully armed personnel stormed into the mental hospital.

They were badly defeated by the terrifying monsters that had been materialized from their minds, but they managed to take away some of the research data from this underground laboratory.

The scene changed again. I saw that every once in a while, these armed personnel would send a batch of mental patients in to feed the Red Coat Director.

The Red Coat Director grew stronger and stronger. Finally, he discovered my presence.

The Red Coat Director tore me apart and devoured me. I died, a very miserable death.

The Evil God's right hand secretly took away a year of my lifespan, gloating with satisfaction. Shen Wei collapsed to the ground, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He gritted his teeth, enduring the intense mental discomfort.

After a long while, Shen Wei recovered. He raised his right hand, and the black color had already spread to his elbow.

"You're always scheming against me..."

Shen Wei shook his head with a wry smile.

"I call it Jiang Taigong fishing; the willing take the bait..."

The Evil God's right hand said shamelessly.

Shen Wei recovered some of his mental strength. He prepared to formally enter the laboratory on the first underground level.

"Didn't you already figure out most of the truth through the simulation? Why do you still need to risk going in?"

The Evil God's right hand asked, puzzled.

"I haven't seen any information about 'him' yet. I suspect that there's interference from 'him' here. 'He' is preventing me from obtaining information about 'him'. I suspect that 'he' has other plans..."

Shen Wei remained skeptical of everything he saw in the illusion. So, he prepared to risk himself and look for some new clues.

He entered the laboratory and put on a protective suit. Then he walked towards the experimental area. There were corpses and human remains everywhere. Shen Wei came to the experimental area again, walking down the line of experimental chambers, one by one.

Many experimental chambers were full of blood and corpses. Shen Wei walked in to carefully observe the items they had dropped on the ground, including employee IDs, pieces of clothing, and other things.

"Indeed, many medical personnel died here. Could 'he' have died here too? The simulated illusion didn't show him being killed, only that he was locked up with Vice President Wu Kaiyuan in the end..."

Just as Shen Wei was pondering, his Evil God's right hand suddenly and frantically tugged at him.

"Something's not right, kid..."

Sure enough, Shen Wei looked in the direction the Evil God's right hand was pointing. There, two bloody figures appeared. One was a charred corpse, still emitting sparks, holding a sharp knife and roaring in pain as it walked towards Shen Wei.

The other looked like it had been dissolved by a strong acid. Yellowish-green corpse fluid was constantly dripping from its body. It was impossible to make out its features. In its hand, it held a sharp and heavy hand axe, and it was now staggering towards Shen Wei.

"Kid, you killed these two, didn't you! The terrifying things you're thinking about have been materialized..."

The Evil God's right hand said, looking at Shen Wei with the red eye pattern on its palm.
