Pushing open the door, Mo Chen entered the treatment room. Seeing that Gu Liyan was still unconscious, before he could even ask anything, Xiao Tao, who was guarding Gu Liyan, spoke weakly with red eyes:
"Father...is he not going to wake up?"
After saying that, she choked up, "It's all my fault. If only I were stronger, Father wouldn't have used all his strength to save me and got hurt, sob sob..."
Mo Chen stepped forward, patted Xiao Tao's head, and said, "Xiao Tao, this is not your fault. You have already done a great job. You not only saved your father, but also your mother's world. Your father is too grateful to blame you."
Tears streamed down Xiao Tao's face. "But...but Father still won't wake up..."
Mo Chen glanced at Gu Liyan, as if muttering to himself, "Don't worry, he'll wake up, if he wants to..."
No one can stop him!
——
It was a prison from which there was no escape. Gu Liyan watched in panic as the "vortex of death" drew ever closer, with nowhere to run! And so, Gu Liyan faced the "vortex of death" head-on, and was completely swallowed up within it—
I thought there was no future.
I thought reincarnation would end.
But then, the view shifted, and they found themselves in a new world—
beep beep...
Gu Liyan stared blankly ahead, startled by the piercing horn. He saw a car speeding past him, its wind-like speed making the sound of wind breaking in his ears.
Gu Liyan looked at the spotless asphalt road beneath his feet, the flashing red and green traffic lights standing to the side, and the skyscrapers that were many times taller than trees. Finally, he saw the crowds of people dressed in far fewer layers than himself coming and going...
"Is this...is this the new world?" Gu Liyan stared blankly at everything around him.
As soon as the red light came on, the speeding cars stopped obediently, and then a continuous stream of people hurried across the zebra crossing...
A minute later, the red light turned green, and the bustling convoy of cars headed towards Gu Liyan's direction.
Swish—
Before Gu Liyan could react, a speeding car brushed past him. Gu Liyan was immediately startled, feeling that the wind speed was even more fierce than Mo Chen's wind blade. Gu Liyan immediately stopped and hurriedly retreated to the side.
Stepping back to the side of the road, Gu Liyan looked puzzled. "What exactly is this death vortex? How did it bring me here? Could this be an illusion it created? Right, I'll just ask Wuxin!"
Gu Liyan suddenly remembered Wuxin, clutched her chest, and asked, "Wuxin, are you there?"
A cold wind blew by, and the only response he received was the honking of passing vehicles.
Gu Liyan sighed helplessly, looking around. "This place seems like an illusion, yet it doesn't seem like an illusion. What kind of world is this...?"
Just as Gu Liyan was filled with doubt, a thin, bony old man walked past him. Gu Liyan looked at the old man with some curiosity. His clothes were worn out and faded, as if they had been worn for a long time. He was carrying a lunchbox in his wrinkled hands, which emitted a fragrant aroma. And he was walking towards the hospital across the street...
Gu Liyan was somewhat puzzled. How could he walk forward so boldly amidst the endless stream of vehicles as if nothing had happened? However, looking into the old man's seemingly cloudy eyes, he was surprised to find an aura of shrewdness and wisdom shining through them.
Gu Liyan looked at the old man with some curiosity, and for some reason, he couldn't take his eyes off him.
beep beep—
Hearing the urgent car horn from not far away, Gu Liyan was startled and hurriedly said, "Sir, wait a moment..."
Before he could finish speaking, the car sped past and hit the old man directly. The old man was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing to the ground and dying instantly.
The next second, Gu Liyan's face turned deathly pale, because at the same moment the old man was hit by the car, he suddenly felt a powerful force hit him, and felt as if his whole body was falling apart!
Although Gu Liyan appeared to be standing unharmed, his body was experiencing the same pain the old man had gone through before his death.
"Ugh...it hurts so much..." Gu Liyan groaned and collapsed to his knees, his back tingling with pain and sweat dripping down his face.
After a while, the pain subsided, and Gu Liyan subconsciously looked up at the perpetrator, only to find that the perpetrator had fled as if his feet were greased!
Upon seeing this, Gu Liyan couldn't help but curse under his breath, "What a bastard!"
Looking at the old man lying dead on the ground, Gu Liyan took a deep breath. "A life, just like that, gone? How fragile..."
Recalling the scene of the old man being hit, Gu Liyan still felt lingering fear: "Was that... that feeling of being close to death? If it really was me, I..."
Thinking of this, Gu Liyan trembled all over. He had no idea that death could be so terrifying!
Taking a deep breath, Gu Liyan calmed his inner fear and tried his best to convince himself to forget the life-or-death situation he had just experienced. However, before he could stand up, the scene around him changed again.
Thump thump thump—
The drumbeats of the music coming out of my ears produced a deafening sound, giving my heartbeat a rhythm.
Swish swish——
The lights in front of me kept flashing, changing with the beat of the music.
In the dance floor, countless young people gathered together, twisting their bodies wildly to the rhythm of the music. Among them, a stunningly beautiful woman with an extremely alluring appearance was the center of attention as she danced, drawing the gaze of almost everyone.
