Truth is everywhere within range

Everything is already clear.

When Qiao Qiao saw this scene, all his confusion was solved.

He sighed.

Junko Yasuda does not have a mental illness.

The paranoia she exhibited was simply the result of being affected by the strange effects of antimemes.

The key to all problems is probably that logging axe.

In Qiao Qiao's spiritual vision, the ax was wrapped with extremely strong Yin energy and resentment, and the deep black mist almost covered the axe.

However, these Yin Qi were extremely restrained and did not spread around. This is probably a manifestation of its antimemetic properties.

Qiao Qiao briefly speculated that the logging ax itself existed in the form of an antimeme, and ordinary people could not see it. Only those who were selected by the ax could feel it.

The consciousness of the selected person will ignore the axe, so theoretically no one can perceive its existence through normal means.

As a weird thing, its purpose is to kill people.

The person holding this ax will gradually be controlled by his mind, just like this, using the logging ax to kill people.

So why has the murderous ax remained unnoticed?

This is because a person killed by a non-existent ax will himself become a "non-existent" person.

According to the strange stories Qiao Qiao heard, perhaps the mentally ill man many years ago was the original owner of the axe.

He was influenced by the ax and killed one of the nurses on duty in the hospital, and then the nurse's existence was erased.

To be precise, it was the retroactive effect of the antimeme that caused the knowledge of her to be erased.

The nurse's parents will not remember that they raised a daughter, and the hospital will never be able to trace the nurse again. All her past life trajectories will be erased.

Even her body was ignored and it just kept lying in the ward. No matter how much it was cleaned or renovated, it would not have an impact on her body. Even most of the bacteria and microorganisms ignored its existence. As a result, the degree of decomposition of the body was not that serious.

This is why you can occasionally smell some strange and unpleasant smells in the psychiatric sanatorium, or you can be inexplicably stirred by invisible things when you walk, and you can occasionally hear screams late at night.

This is a considerable degree of memetic manipulation. Of course, it may be due to the lack of ability of the weirdness itself. Therefore, such anti-memetic traceability is not complete.

In theory, the nurse's existence would be completely wiped out, leaving no trace behind, but in the end, she left some clues.

That’s the urban legend about hospitals.

Perhaps in the minds of people who knew her, although this nurse no longer exists, some impressions still remain. In the end, these impressions merged to form urban legends.

At the same time, various loopholes also subtly affect the cognition of people here.

For example, when the nurse was doing rounds, the record of the originally twenty-one ward showed twenty-one people, and she couldn't find out who the extra person was.

This is because there were originally twenty-one patients here, but after the ward rounds, the extra person was killed with an axe, and his existence was erased, which led to this situation.

Also, a similar weird incident happened. The police and the spirit exorcist came to investigate, but they only had good records without signatures. Nurse Kudo said that she had thought about asking the spirit exorcist to investigate, but she didn’t know why. Didn't happen.

In fact, both the police and the spirit exorcist were here. Qiao Qiao even guessed that the spirit exorcist was still like himself and came over at night to check the status of the hospital.

But it is a pity that the exorcist failed to see through the characteristics of the antimeme and was killed without anyone noticing, and his existence was also concealed.

At this time, Qiao Qiao guessed that the holder of the logging ax might be a relevant person in the hospital. During this period, no one knew how many people died under the ax.

What's even more terrifying is that the weirdness of this ax doesn't just control one person.

If the person holding the ax does not kill the other person, but is killed by the other person, then the ax will change its host and lodge in another person.

It is true that Junko Yasuda suffered a fracture. She accidentally fell down and suffered a fracture, and was sent to the hospital by her husband. Her husband and daughter, who loved her, often came back to visit her, but they did not know that this was the beginning of the tragedy.

This logging ax was controlled by relevant personnel of the hospital. In the past few years, the ax has caused trouble and killed several people. This time, the target was Junko Yasuda.

It's just that it may be due to the physical and mental exhaustion of the original host due to being housed for a long time. Junko Yasuda was not killed by some strange combination of circumstances, or even suffered too many injuries, and even killed the opponent.

This was not lucky, because the host of the ax became Junko Yasuda.

The nightmares Yasuda Junko had were not actually dreams, but memories.

It's the memory of when she was holding an axe.

As for the people she killed in the nightmare, she didn't know them. A man and a child.

It should be the husband and daughter she mentioned.

Yes, Junko Yasuda was influenced by the weird and killed her husband and daughter with her own hands.

Just as she described in "Hypothesis", she met her husband when she was working in a trading company. After the two got married, Junko Yasuda became a full-time housewife. Later, she gave birth to a daughter. She took her daughter to kindergarten every day and met her husband. The parents of my daughter’s classmates and the principal and teachers of the kindergarten.

After being lodged with an axe, Junko Yasuda first killed her husband in the hospital, and then her daughter some time later.

Qiao Qiao didn't know how she felt before her family was killed.

I don’t know what images appeared in Junko Yasuda’s mind when she thought of her husband and daughter when the influence of the antimeme weakened.

He pushed open the door to the ward.

Junko Yasuda, holding an ax in her hand, was about to lift it up and strike at the patient lying on the bed next to her.

Her eyes were dim, with no whites, just darkness.

The black mist on the ax has entangled Yasuda Junko's hands and climbed up her face, looking ferocious and terrifying.

The originally heavy logging ax was lifted up easily by her.

At this time, Junko Yasuda suddenly stopped his movements.

She kept her original posture, only her neck turned, and she looked towards the door.

For a moment, as if he was being targeted by some kind of predator, Qiao Qiao could feel an instinctive sense of threat.

However, he didn't feel any more panic.

Yasuda Junko turned around and rushed towards Qiao Qiao at a speed that was difficult for humans to achieve. She raised the ax in her hand and hit Qiao Qiao's head.

But before that, Qiao Qiao had already formed the shape of a huge revolver with blood.

Bang——

The rubber bullet shot out and hit Junko Yasuda in the head.

She fainted.
