It felt like an eternity.
Liu Nian didn't know how long she had slept, but when she woke up, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room.
He sat up with a puzzled look on his face, looked around, and his gaze fell on the back of his right hand.
"Huh?" This?
System: "Host, you're awake."
Liu Nian raised her hand and patted her forehead: "How long have I been asleep?"
System: "Soon, a month. You were able to wake up so quickly only because of some high-tech wake-up."
Liu Nian: "Oh! So the bluish discoloration on the back of my hand is from the IV drip?"
System: "Yes, at first your body was very resistant to the external drug, and blood would always flow back after a short time with the needle."
Liu Nian paused, then asked in confusion, "Where am I? Where's Gu Minhang?"
System: "I've been praying for you for three days and two nights now."
What?! What?!
"What does this mean? What kind of blessing?" Does she need it?
System: "You've been unconscious for too long. This mid-stage virus has drained too much of your energy. You couldn't hold on. When you passed out, it was practically the same as being dead. If it weren't for the heartbeat you had, people who didn't know better would probably have cremated you."
System: "The male protagonist sought help from every doctor. You don't know, when he heard that you were powerless to save him, he felt like he was about to lose all his life force."
Liu Nian nodded: "Can you sense where he is now?"
System: "The male lead is praying for you at Lingguang Temple! It's been three days and two nights already, and it's almost nightfall outside. It's been almost three days and three nights."
"Why pray for blessings?" Liu Nian never believed in this and didn't understand why Gu Minhang would pray for blessings!
System: "Perhaps this is what humanity finds solace in!"
Liu Nian: "You said I woke up so quickly because of external medication, so why do I still feel so weak?"
System: "Master, it's normal that you're not feeling strong because you're consuming a lot of energy every day. If you want to regain your strength, you need to clear the virus out of your body, and your energy will gradually return."
"System, I suddenly regret it." I don't know why, but hearing that Gu Minhang was willing to believe in metaphysics and pray for her, while she selfishly ended things in this way so that he wouldn't feel surprised when she left, felt cruel, very cruel to him.
System: "Master, this is the only path you can take now. Another world is waiting for you to go there, and the main system doesn't have much time left."
Liu Nian stared blankly at the white ceiling.
"I don't think I can be so heartless." It turns out that once you fall in love, it's really hard to make a decision. "Please get rid of the virus in my body!" She didn't want to leave anymore. She wanted to stay with Gu Minhang and make sure he could be happy in this lifetime.
The system remained silent for a long time before finally sighing and saying, "Host, removing the virus is painful, so please bear with it."
Then Liu Nian felt as if her whole body was being pulled apart and her skin was being peeled off.
Even she, who was always so strong-willed, couldn't help but let out a soft groan. Her already pale face turned even paler, and beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Liu Nian felt her vision blurry, she couldn't see anything clearly, and her mind was completely muddled, but she forced herself not to fall asleep.
The whole process only took a few minutes, but it felt like centuries to Liu Nian. It was painful and agonizing, but in the end, she felt like she had been reborn, gasping for breath.
System: "Master, I understand your decision. I will report it to the main system. As for the other task, I think the main system will definitely have a way to control it for now."
Liu Nian lay on the hospital bed, completely exhausted, her eyes glazed over, her chest heaving violently.
System: "Master, I will infuse my energy into you, which will make you feel better."
As soon as the system finished speaking, Liu Nian felt light and airy. Soon, her whole body began to relax, and her muddled eyes began to clear.
The system spoke again: "Host, I will report the situation here in detail to the main system. Is it okay for you to fight alone during this time?"
Liu Nian: "It's okay, thank you."
The system left silently.
After a while, Liu Nian felt that although her energy was still not abundant, she would still try to conjure up a flower.
With a flick of her fingers, a vibrant red rose appeared in her palm.
She hadn't used her superpowers in a long time. Ever since the system said she could use them, she had only used them once, and this was the second time.
She placed the flowers on her pillow, got up, and disregarded the hospital gown she was wearing. She searched her memory and, remembering the "Lingguang Temple" mentioned by the system, teleported without hesitation.
Liu Nian's first thought right now is to find Gu Minhang; she misses him and wants to see him.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we found that it was raining.
Ignoring the passing years, she climbed the steps one by one, looking frail in her hospital gown in the rain near dusk.
Before the Buddha, a man knelt. His once elegant suit was now full of wrinkles. His face was stern, his features were sharp, and his usually warm eyes were now full of piety. He had been in this position for a very long time.
No matter how others tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen. He continued to kneel, hands clasped together, eyes full of piety, gazing at the Buddha statue before him.
At this moment, an old abbot came in leaning on a cane. His wrinkled face stared at Gu Minhang, and he finally uttered a sentence.
"Amitabha."
Gu Minhang remained motionless, seemingly unaffected by the noise from the outside world.
The abbot sat down on the futon next to him, and his deep voice rang out.
