Chapter 98 - Backtrack
After saying all that he had to say, the smiling Doctor Li gently patted Li Huowang’s head, put on his glasses, and walked out of the ward. When he reached the door, he stopped for a moment. “Right, Little Li, didn’t you say that you could bring something belonging to that world back here, and that’s why you thought this world was fake? Then, have you tried bringing something from here to there? Maybe you will find an unexpected answer.” The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.
After saying those words, Doctor Li left.
On the other hand, Li Huowang was stunned as he contemplated what Doctor Li had said. “Wait, if I could bring something from here to there... Then, which side would be the reality?”
Should I try? What if I succeed? No, I can’t do something like that. I can’t interact with the hallucinations or I will never be able to snap out of them! But... It’s only a test. What am I so afraid of?
Li Huowang was once again filled with a sense of confusion and doubt, feeling conflicted.
Just as he was contemplating the question, he felt the white walls around him slowly fade into darkness along with the beeping machines. At the same time, the bright LED lights transformed into oil lamps.
Li Huowang realized that he was currently lying on an old bed. When he saw the dusty rafters, he realized that he had returned.
After a moment, Li Huowang removed the sheets covering him.
Rather than bringing something from the hallucination, there’s another method that I can use right now to determine whether the world there is fake or not.
Li Huowang checked his abdomen and was surprised to see a clean white bandage wrapped around his body. He gently pressed down on the area where he had cut himself open, but there was only a slight numbing pain.
But how was this possible? He was certain that his intestines had fallen out back then!
My intestines should be suffering from sepsis right now, but they have healed up?
Li Huowang was genuinely surprised.
Back then, when he had decided to use the bamboo slip, he had already given up on making it out of there alive. But to think he was still alive!
Wait.
After telling him everything, Bai Lingmiao pulled herself out from Li Huowang’s embrace and watched him gingerly. “Senior Li, I really didn’t want to lie to you. Please don’t blame me, ok?”
Li Huowang let out a breath of relief and laughed. “It’s fine, it’s fine. As long as you are real.”
“Real? What do you mean?” Bai Lingmiao still didn’t quite understand what just happened.
“Nothing. Bring me the chicken soup, I’m hungry.” Li Huowang decided to change the subject. Now, he was feeling much better. No matter what Doctor Li had said, he was certain that this side was real and that side was fake.
After eating the Black Taisui, his hallucinations had stopped appearing for a long time. That was the most important evidence he had.
He resolved not to get trapped in the hallucination or be fooled by them a second time.
Then, Li Huowang devoured the chicken soup; his stomach was telling him that he required nutrients immediately.
Soon, he finished the chicken soup and passed the empty bowl back to Bai Lingmiao while requesting for seconds.
“Wait, I was trapped inside my hallucinations earlier, so how did you feed the chicken soup to me?” asked Li Huowang.
Hearing this, Bai Lingmiao did not answer, instead blushing as she ran out with the empty bowl.
“How else could she have fed you? She did it with her own mouth. I told her to just pour the soup down your mouth but she couldn’t bring herself to do something so cruel.” It was Xiaoman who answered his question as she entered the room.
Xiaoman stood beside his bed and stared at him with a complicated expression. “Senior Li, Junior Bai has done a lot for you. Please cherish her.”
Cough-cough!
Li Huowang coughed out of embarrassment and decided to avoid the topic. “What happened to the people in this village after the incident? Did they allow us to stay here?”
Hearing his question, Xiaoman hesitated for a moment before answering. “They all went away.”
“Went away? Where to?” Li Huowang was confused.
Wasn’t this their village?
“I have no idea either. After the forest around the village started to wither away, all the villagers suddenly had their personalities and memories altered. None of them recognized each other. Even the village head’s six sons did not recognize each other. It was... it was almost as if they had never heard of the surname Wu nor were they brothers.”
