Chapter 2 - Li Huowang
“Phew, I’ve finally returned,” Li Huowang sighed in relief before calling out into the microphone installed at the headboard.
A few moments passed before his attending physician came into the room, holding a white tablet. The physician was accompanied by a nurse.
“How are you feeling, Little Li? Are there any changes in the hallucinations?” The doctor sat on a stool and asked in a kind voice.
“In the hallucination, I was stuck in the same place and doing the same thing as last time. However, this time, that bald master cruelly killed a person right in front of me and attempted to use her body parts to refine a pill,” Li Huowang described his hallucinations in detail.
“Mm-hmm.” The attending physician nodded, taking notes on the tablet.
Li Huowang thought about something and hesitated before asking, “Doctor, what do you mean when you say a different hallucination? How does it reflect my psychological and subconscious status? Does all of it mean something?”
“No, you do not need to care about such things. It is much more important to take note of how long your hallucinations last as well as your mental stability,” the doctor shook his head and avoided the question.
“Since this is a hallucination, you must always remember that it is not real. You have already recovered from your psychosensory disorder, so you must not regress.Everytime you enter a hallucination, you must always follow the logic of that world. With the help of our treatment, you should be able to recover soon.”
Li Huowang’s heart pounded upon hearing this. This was the key to being discharged from the hospital, so he could not afford to be careless.
Meanwhile, the doctor did not forget to cheer his patient up.
“Actually, you’ve already recovered quite a lot. When you were admitted, you couldn’t even differentiate between the real world and your hallucinations. You are on track to recovery, so keep it up. Keep fighting!”
While the two of them were conversing, the soft sound of footsteps echoed from the direction of the door.
Both of them turned at the same time and saw a girl peeking into the room. She was wearing a black turtleneck.
She looked to be sixteen or seventeen, an age where she was like a flower ready to blossom.
Her skin was white as jade, her straight black hair covering her shoulders like a dark waterfall. She looked as pretty as a flower in bloom.
Both teenagers wanted to say something, but no words came out.
Meanwhile, the doctor chuckled; he knew what was going on and so he just adjusted his glasses and promptly left the room.
“I still have something to do, so I will leave the two of you alone. Oh right, don’t forget to take your medicine on time, Little Li.”
As soon as the doctor left, the young girl walked into the room. Both of them smiled at each other as Li Huowang felt a warm feeling in his heart. All his concerns about his illness were quickly forgotten.
“Stop smiling. You look ugly when you smile like that. I brought you a little something... It’s the homework assigned to us by our dear teacher!” The girl smiled slyly, revealing a sling bag made from cloth behind her.
Seeing this, Li Huowang’s smile disappeared immediately. “Nana, we are childhood friends! Is this how you are going to repay me?”
Yang Na turned around and closed the door before taking out a portable game console and waving it in front of him cheekily. “Of course there’s also this! Call me big sister, and I will give it to you! Hehe~”
“Big Sis! My dear sister! You are my one and only big sister.” Li Huowang excitedly ran up to her and took the gaming console from her hand.
“Aaa~” Li Huowang held his chest, showing a pained expression, “such harsh words, my lady.”
Yang Na chuckled and lightly punched him before leaving the hospital. She then walked toward the bus station just across the hospital.
Li Huowang stood at the entrance of the hospital until she got on the bus and disappeared from his view. Slowly, the smile on his face disappeared.
He was concerned about what he had just seen, and so he quickly went to the doctor’s office.
An hour later, Li Huowang was turning and tossing in his bed. He was concerned about his future with Yang Na.
A new set of medications had been prescribed to him and was now placed on his table.
The mortar that he had seen, as well as Yang Na’s smile, were constantly on his mind.
What if my illness worsens? What if I am not discharged before the National Higher Education Entrance Examination? Then I would not be able to enter the same university as Yang Na.
Even though he was stuck within the hospital, he still knew about the rumors. In the eyes of the people outside, he was nothing but a crazy man.
To think that his childhood friend, Yang Na, would confess to him a day before he was admitted to the hospital, despite knowing that something was wrong with him.
Yang Na is an amazing girl, so as a man, I must not let her down.
This can’t be right. I’ve been following the doctor’s orders, so why have my hallucinations been getting worse? Should I transfer to another hospital? But this is already my third one.
There should be nothing wrong with Doctor Li’s treatment. Dad had told me that he was the best.
All these thoughts continued to plague his mind before he finally gave up on thinking and sat up.
He took out the textbooks and exercise books that Yang Na had delivered to him and started studying. He wanted to use complex theorems to drown out his ever-growing thoughts.
Late into the night, he started completing his homework.
After completing a mock exam sheet for English, he stretched his back and rubbed his temples.
“Yawn~ What time is it? It should be pretty late.” Li Huowang wore his slippers before heading to the toilet. He needed to sleep soon.
Just as he walked toward the toilet while yawning and scratching his chest, his right hand felt something weird and paused.
He looked down at his gown and saw something black and sticky stuck to his chest.
That color looked quite familiar.
Suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind.
He touched the object and licked his finger. A bitter taste that was accompanied by a hint of sweetness caused his pupils to shrink in surprise.
This was the piece of candy that the mentally challenged disciple had given to him!
An object that should have only existed in his hallucination had appeared in reality!Chart your course back to the origins of this substance at n0v^lbin
