These scenes include him hearing his men report to him that Yi Yi was in a car accident; him rushing back from Haishi only to find Xiao Fang and Xia Bingqing injured, but not Yi Yi; his tireless search for Yi Yi, which eventually led to him falling ill with a fever; his eventual discovery of Yi Yi's whereabouts and his drive with Xiao Fang to Black Valley, where the car went out of control; and his battle of wits with a pack of wolves in the basement, culminating in the subjugation of the white wolf…

And all of this had been gradually erased from his mind. Simply because they all told him those things were just his imagination. That he had fallen down the stairs, damaged his brain, and that's why he was having these wild thoughts.

Are these just his fantasies?

Are these things just fantasies, or...?

Mu Nanxun continued walking towards the source of the sound, but after walking for a long time, he was frustrated to find that the sound was still very far away from him, as if no matter how long he walked, he would never reach that place.

"Awoo... Awoo..."

The howling of wolves continued, and fragments of memories played back and forth in Mu Nanxun's mind, creating a chaotic mess. He could hardly distinguish which were real and which were fake.

"Ah—ah—"

He held a dagger in his hand, slashing wildly in the air, trying to erase all the jumbled fragments of memories from his mind.

He kept walking forward, disappearing further and further into the dark night...

This...this place...

Before me are familiar buildings, familiar deserted lights, and familiar Phalaenopsis orchids that I planted just a few days ago.

He walked for half a day and ended up back where he started!

That's so strange. He kept walking forward, so why did he come back?

This vast place is like a giant spherical barrier. Nothing from the outside can get in, and nothing inside can get out. No matter how long or how far he travels, he will eventually return to this place.

The wolf was isolated outside the barrier; its voice could be heard inside, but it remained outside. He could hear its voice, but he couldn't see it.

Mu Nanxun was shocked by this idea. If that were true, then wouldn't the place where he lived, all the people in this villa, and all the plants and flowers mean that it was also completely isolated from the outside world? Or perhaps, it didn't even exist at all?

Just like the hallucinations that once appeared in Black Valley in his mind...

To confirm this, Mu Nanxun tried to calm himself down, found a direction, and kept walking forward.

To avoid losing his way in the dark, he brought a compass from his study. Although the compass was quite old, practically an antique, it was very accurate and had never made a mistake.

This time, however, Mu Nanxun hadn't gone very far when he discovered that the compass was pointing in a significantly off-center direction. This compass was designed based on magnetic fields; normally, only changes in the magnetic field would cause such a significant deviation in its direction.

Could it be that the surrounding magnetic field has changed?

Unable to rely on a compass, Mu Nanxun could only depend on himself.

He walked for a long time in the darkness, always moving forward.

Sure enough, he returned to the villa once again.

"Boss..." Xiao Fang ran over from the side. "Boss, are you having trouble sleeping? I've seen you walk around the villa several times."

Mu Nanxun's face was terribly gloomy.
