Chapter 499 - Yang Na
Li Huowang looked at the two of them getting further and further away. His eyes were bloodshot when he collapsed in front of the wire fence. “They will turn back! Yes, that’s right! They will turn back!”
Li Huowang stared at their back without blinking as he tried to control the primordial breath within his body that he couldn’t detect in this world.
“Come back! Turn around! TURN AROUND!” Li Huowang pressed his face onto the wire fence, causing his face to have a checkered mark.
Yang Na suddenly shook off her father’s hands and ran back to him with tears streaking down her face. Li Huowang smiled, “Hahaha! It worked! I can turn this hallucination into reality!”
Li Huowang could swear that he was the happiest he had ever been in his life when he saw Yang Na crying and running toward him. His cultivation was working!
Li Huowang extended his arms through the wire fence and grabbed Yang Na\'s hand; his voice was shaking with excitement as he said, “Yang Na, wait for me! Give me three years—no two! Two more years, and we can return to how we were back in school, just like the old times!”
Yang Na shook her head; her black hair was plastered to her face by her tears. Then, she suddenly felt weightless. Her father carried her and slung her over his shoulder to separate her from Li Huowang.
“How much longer are you going to live in this delusion of yours? Can’t you see that he’s a complete lunatic? You have to forget him to be cured! He is going to destroy your life, so forget about him!”
But no matter how hard he tried to pull her away, the two did not let go of each other.
Yang Na used the last of her energy to shove her face toward the wire fence and planted a heavy kiss on Li Huowang’s cracked lips.
The moment Li Huowang felt her soft lips, he suddenly found himself transported back to the time when he first kissed her on the rooftop during that sunset.
He didn’t want to think of anything else and hoped that time would stay still for now.
Unfortunately, time would never stop ticking. Li Huowang also saw Yang Na\'s hands becoming red, as she was getting pulled from two opposite directions, so he decided to let go of her.
“Nana! Go back and rest! Two years! I will come and get you in two years!” Li Huowang shouted with all his strength.
Yang Na cried out and screamed as she was carried away by her father.
Li Huowang stopped shouting only after Yang Na disappeared from his view.
He looked at where they had gone for a very long time before he gripped the wire fence and stood up.
He was about to pick up the broom again when he saw Sun Xiaoqin had brought a doctor and three nurses. They had seen what was happening.
“Five people?!” Li Huowang immediately reacted and took a step back as he held onto the broom. He took his stance and got ready to fight, “Don’t come any closer! I will cut down if any of you take even a single step!”
Sun Xiaoqin was hurt by his words and was about to say something when the young doctor pulled her back. He whispered to her, and all of them retreated before the young doctor talked to Li Huowang.
“Li Huowang. Calm down. We won’t approach you for now. Can you tell me why are you so wary of the five of us? What about the four of us?” The young doctor waved his hands, and the three nurses retreated to the building with Sun Xiaoqin.
“Are you in danger on the other side? Are there five people there trying to hurt you? You are not the only one with the same symptoms.”
Li Huowang held his broom like a sword and glared at the doctor. “I just want peace for now. No one does anything to me. I just need some time alone.”
“Of course. We can do so. See, I’m not doing anything to you. Are you waiting to return back to the other side? It’s fine, as long as you don’t lash out or do anything extreme.”
The doctor removed the white coat as he calmed Li Huowang down. He then removed his wig like a hat, shook it off, and wore it back.
“Li Huowang, since I’ve complied with your request, could you help me then? I don’t want to care about you, but I have no choice since I still need to write the report. Do you think you can answer some of my questions? It\'s so stressful trying to write a report about you that my hair is falling off.”
The doctor pushed his glasses when he looked at the silent Li Huowang. “Do you not want to say? If you don’t help me, then I won’t help you. I will go and ask for five people to come and capture you.”
“Wait!” Li Huowang looked at the doctor and tried thinking about what was happening on the other side. What was happening in the other world that would correspond to this situation? Is the doctor one of the Surveillance Bureau? No matter what, I should calm him down first and I would probably be safe once I get back to the other side.
Li Huowang hesitated before asking, “What do you want?”
“Nothing. It’s just that I don’t know what you are thinking after seeing how attached you were to that girl just now. Do you think this side is real or the other side?”
Li Huowang’s eyes were shrouded in confusion. “Fake—no real! This is real!”
The doctor nodded and approached Li Huowang slightly, “We should first put away which side is real. Instead, let’s talk about why you think this side is fake.”
"No!" Li Huowang shook his head and exclaimed, “This side is real! Everything here is real!”
“I know you want to get better soon, but convincing yourself alone just won\'t work. Let me think... Is it because there had been too many coincidences? Are you unconvinced because every time you come back here, something unrealistic would happen, such as Yang Na\'s sudden appearance?”
Li Huowang’s mind instantly calmed down the moment he heard that. “Did you read my case report? My past doctors are the only ones who are supposed to know that.”
“That’s not important. I just want you to know that it’s not a coincidence. You\'ve been stuck in your hallucination for a long time now, but it doesn’t mean that your mind is empty while you\'re on the other side.”
“What do you mean?” Li Huowang frowned.
The doctor approached Li Huowang slowly as he said, “Your subconscious is still gathering information even though you\'re stuck in your hallucination. If you learn any information that is important to you, your subconsciousness will call you back here. Do you understand what I mean? In other words, the coincidences that you see when you come back here are not entirely coincidences. Your inner self is craving for those events, and it calls you back here whenever you\'re anticipating something to happen. I did a small experiment once. I told your girlfriend to call your mother while she was feeding you. During the call, I instructed Yang Na to tell your mother that she will be coming to visit you. I was hoping that your subconsciousness would learn that she was coming. The goal of the experiment was to see if you\'d \'awaken\' due to your subconsciousness calling you back here.”
