Chapter 398 The Charm of Life

“The human brain is a mysterious instrument that cannot be deciphered by even the most advanced technology. Any research based on the brain is fraught with risks.”

"Yes, this is a very dangerous attempt, and her silence will make it even more difficult. She has no way to ask for help, and we can't give her any substantial help. She is all on her own."

"Don't be afraid. No matter what the outcome is, it won't be any harder than it is now. She's brave, so please believe in her."

"Perhaps this is the charm of life. Such an ordinary and lonely resume can give rise to such an astonishing desire. You must be the perfect experimental group."

"Of course, of course, everyone is a perfect experimental group and control group, everyone is the protagonist of their own life. I just hope you won't let me down."

"Wake up."

Why wake up?

There is no why. There is no need for so many whys in this world.

The mission is over, the rain has stopped and the sky is clear, it's time for the wandering soul to go home.

She misses home.

I can go home now.

My hazy consciousness shuttled through the darkness. It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it seemed like only a moment.

Gu Nan suddenly opened his eyes.

The feeling of suffocation and death still hung in her heart. She gasped for breath, and her empty eyes turned around blankly for a few times, but could not find a place to land.

Everything in front of her eyes was white, and the chaotic light and shadows made her eyes hurt.

She tried to discern her surroundings, but failed. The dazzling white made her dizzy and almost nauseous.

Her heart was beating so fast in her chest that it seemed like it was about to burst out. She frowned in pain, and a sickly blush appeared on her pale cheeks.

"Gu Nan?" Someone came up to her and gently patted her shoulder. "Gu Nan, can you hear me clearly?"

Gu Nan opened his lips and wanted to respond, but only a few hoarse and short "ah ah" sounds came out of his throat.

She mumbled a few unclear syllables, and it was impossible to make out what she said. However, the other party seemed very excited about her reaction, and his unconsciously accelerated speech speed sounded joyful and anxious. "Don't worry, don't worry, this is what happens when you just wake up."

The other person lowered his body to Gu Nan's ear, raised his hand and touched the top of Gu Nan's head in an attempt to comfort him, repeating: "You're awake, you're awake, Gu Nan."

Gu Nan suppressed the feeling of nausea and blinked hard, following the sound and making out a blurry figure in the dazzling white light.

It was a thin girl wearing a snow-white long gown with a blue work badge tucked on her left chest. She was bending over and talking to the person on the other end of the phone:

"Professor Yi, 2703 is awake."

The work badge kept shaking in front of his eyes. Gu Nan's stomach churned, he retched a few times, his eyes rolled back and he fainted again.

Just before his consciousness fell into darkness, Gu Nan heard the other person say, "Ah, he fell asleep again..."

After that, Gu Nan woke up several times and was surrounded by a group of people in white coats.

They pushed and shoved each other with folders in their hands, arguing excitedly or calmly about unfamiliar vocabulary and profound theories, as if in their eyes, she was just a string of data that could be brought to a seminar.

Before Gu Nan had adapted to his unusual body functions, he began to feel disgusted with this group of impolite scholars and professors.

It was seven days later before she was able to regain consciousness for a long time.

It was evening, and the nurse fed her dinner and asked her if she wanted to listen to the radio or watch TV for a while.

Gu Nan glanced out the window. The sun was setting in the west. The window was ajar. The rising evening breeze swayed the half-open shutters. The sparse light and tired shadows made the place peaceful and tranquil.

The sunset after the heavy rain is so gentle that it makes people full of hope.

"When can I get out of bed and walk?" Gu Nan asked in a hoarse voice.

"At least one or two years." The nurse answered subconsciously, then realized that it was Gu Nan who was talking to her. She paused to pack up the lunch box and looked up in shock, "Can you speak now?"

Although Gu Nan's voice was hoarse and his tone was difficult, his word order was correct and his expression was clear. At first glance, he sounded just like an ordinary person.

She was so surprised that she was a little overwhelmed. "How come you can speak so quickly?"

It was a miracle that only a week had passed from the time he woke up to the time he started talking.

"I'll go call someone!" The nurse ran out in a hurry. After a while, a group of people in white coats came in and surrounded her.

"The nurse said you can speak now, is that right, Gu Nan?" said the man in the white coat standing in the front.

All the people in white coats were wearing masks, with only their eyes and foreheads exposed. It was difficult to recognize them when they were crowded together, but Gu Nan could easily recognize everyone here.

The person who spoke was Yi Jingrong, and everyone called her Professor Yi. She was the leader of all the white coats and the main person in charge of the Skylight Awakening Project.

This was what the other party said when Gu Nan regained consciousness for the second time.

The other party also said that it was the second year since she fell into a coma due to the car accident, and she was the first vegetative patient to be awakened by the skylight simulation system since the project began.

Gu Nan didn't know what the skylight simulation system was, but that didn't prevent her from understanding it. She was an experimenter being observed by researchers in this project.

Why she was able to successfully wake up in such a short time is her greatest research value at present.

Gu Nan looked at Yi Jingrong, "I want to see my mother."

Yi Jingrong raised an eyebrow, as if surprised by Gu Nan's fluent expression, "You mean Dean Gu? We have already informed her that you are awake. She will come to accompany you when you start rehabilitation training."

After that, she instructed the assistant beside her, "Starting tomorrow, start sitting training and standing training, so she can get out of bed as soon as possible."

The assistant took note, the pair of eyes outside the mask full of inquiry.

Gu Nan's rehabilitation plan was supposed to be in the swallowing training stage, but who would have thought that in just a week she would be able to communicate fluently and be incredibly lucid and stable.

Yi Jingrong also noticed Gu Nan's overly calm demeanor, but didn't take it to heart.

As the first person to wake up since the project started, Gu Nan found some of the peculiarities normal. Her focus was on: "What did you experience during your sleep?"

Gu Nan: "What do you mean?"

Yi Jingrong paused for a moment, then said, "To put it in a more understandable way, I'm very curious about your experiences in the 'other world'."

Experiences in another world.

Gu Nan shuddered, and goosebumps appeared all over his body instantly because of these words.

This question is so naked that it makes you want to vomit.

Fear and disgust surged into her heart, and the bullet that destroyed her seemed to be fired again with a "bang", hitting her right between the eyebrows.

The cramping stomach made her body twitch unconsciously, and her already ugly face became even paler.

Her guess was verified. The hypocritical cyber world was fake, and Yi Jingrong was the manipulator who sat firmly behind the scenes and held the power of life and death.

Yi Jingrong knew what kind of world she would enter, knew the system, knew the plan to save the male protagonist, knew that she would die and be resurrected again and again, and even the fact that she was regarded as an immortality experiment subject by high-ranking government officials was just an ending that had been set long ago.

The three years she spent minute by minute were just a piece of experimental data.

Her love, hate, struggle and pain were all created by the program.

Her relatives, friends, and lover are all fake.

There was no book or system from beginning to end, everything was fake.

This horrible realization made Gu Nan vomit.
