This kind of life continued day after day, and Ye Hua was immersed in this dreamlike life, cherishing this wonderful experience.
He drove his parents fishing over the weekend and caught a 20-pound crucian carp. The moment the crucian carp was caught, his excitement and joy were palpable, attracting many anglers to come and watch.
They climbed Mount Tai, one of the Five Great Mountains, and took a group photo at the summit, panting, in the sunset.
They also went to the zoo and saw tigers lying lazily on the ground, not moving at all.
The hands are ticking away, time is ticking away.
Several more weeks passed.
Ye Hua said goodbye to his family and arrived at the edge of this world.
From here, he could see that the outside world was pitch black, like an endless void.
He opened the car door, stood on the edge of the world, and stared blankly into the endless darkness.
He realized that he had fallen under Qian Shudie's illusion.
The longer one remains immersed in the illusion, the harder it is to break free.
If you become addicted to it, you will die of brain death and physical annihilation.
He understood all of this.
but……
Ring ring~
Ye Hua's cell phone rang in his pocket.
He picked up the phone and saw the word "Mom" displayed on the screen.
He had a guess in his heart.
He pressed his finger on the answer button, slowly moved it upwards, intending to hang up the phone.
His breathing was trembling, and his fingers seemed to be out of his control.
In the end, he answered the phone.
"Hello?"
On the other end of the phone was Ye's mother's anxious voice, "Something terrible has happened! Son, your father has suddenly fallen ill! We're at the First People's Hospital now, you need to come quickly!"
"Yes, I know, Mom." Ye Hua forced a smile. "It's cirrhosis, right? I know."
"Cirrhosis? What... what are we going to do?" Ye's mother's voice was filled with anxiety and panic.
Ye Hua did not respond for a long time.
He bit his lower lip hard, his voice trembling, and slowly said, "Mom..."
Ye's mother noticed the tremor in Ye Hua's voice. She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and finally asked in as calm a voice as possible, "What's wrong, son?"
"you……"
Ye Hua bit her lower lip for a long time before asking, "Can you please not leave that hospital?"
"Don't leave the hospital? Why?" Ye's mother was puzzled.
“There have been a lot of car accidents lately.” Ye Hua looked up, his eyes welling up with tears. He reached out and wiped them away, sighing, “We never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first, and when an accident does happen to us, the despair is indescribable.”
"Son, why are you suddenly saying all this? Aren't you going to come back and visit?"
"No, the road home is too far, I can't go back for a while," Ye Hua said with a smile, her eyes slightly reddening.
Where are you? Did you drive there?
"No, that's a place you can never reach by car..."
"Is it the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a place we can never reach by car?"
“Further than that…” Ye Hua gave a self-deprecating bitter laugh. “It’s a place… farther away than the stars.”
Ye's mother remained silent.
She did not respond for a long time.
"Mom," Ye Hua said with a smile through her tears, "I was ignorant before and caused you trouble."
Mother Ye: "..."
"I'll be back as soon as possible. Until then, hang in there and wait for me, okay?"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
Finally, a single word drifted in slowly.
"good."
"Um."
Ye Hua gave a soft "hmm".
He gently kissed his phone.
"Close your eyes and rest well, Mom. I will find a way to save you and Dad."
The moment he finished speaking, he threw his phone into the void, where it vanished without a trace.
He looked at the void that was constantly encroaching on the boundary, and he knew very well that he had wasted too much time.
The illusion is shrinking rapidly; in just a moment, this world will become his grave.
At this point, even Ye Hua was facing a desperate situation.
He lowered his head and slowly raised his palm...
...
The Forest Beyond.
The moment Qian Shudie initiated the blood sacrifice ritual, she was already prepared to trade one for one with Ye Hua at the last minute.
She knew very well that Ye Hua was Su Nian's greatest enemy in this life. If she could keep him here forever, Su Nian would be free from all suffering.
The moment she touched the Heart-Eating Demon Mist, she emptied her consciousness and body, preparing to face death.
However, when she opened her eyes again, she found that she was still alive.
"Great! You're awake! I thought you were going to die with him!"
The sound of Shen Xingyue crying with joy reached her ears. Qian Shudie raised her head in confusion and looked in Ye Hua's direction.
There, Ye Hua knelt on the ground, all five of his fingers severed.
Qian Shudie's pupils contracted.
He actually broke off his own finger to force himself to wake up from the illusion?
"Heh..." Ye Hua choked on blood, slowly raised his head, his eyes cold and menacing.
"If Ru Beiqiu can do it, why can't I, Ye Hua, do it? Qian Shudie, I admit you are indeed very courageous. This desperate gamble actually affected me, but... now that I have broken free, you will never have another chance!"
Ye Hua took out a long sword from his storage ring and said coldly, "This sword is called the Soul-Slaying Sword. It does not cut the flesh, but only the soul. Originally, I did not intend to leave you alive, but now I have changed my mind. I will keep you, lock you up, and use you for my own purposes!"
