âHow did that happen? Was I dreaming, orâ¦â
âDid it feel as if your soul was outside of your body?â
âI donât know what itâs like to have an out-of-body experience, but I felt like I was looking at all this from a godâs perspective.â
âThatâs exactly it!â Alice snapped her fingers and explained earnestly, âThe personality who controlled this body at that point of time was not you.â
âThen â¦â Gong Fan was even more incredulous. âCould it be Youyou? Impossible. How could he possibly do something like that?â
âThatâs what worries me the most. It wasnât you, and it couldnât have been Youyou. So who was controlling the body at the time?â
If one thought about it deeply, it was rather terrifying.
Alice couldnât come to a conclusion on what had happened in Gong Fanâs body. But there was one thing she could bet her life on⦠The person holding the knife was not Gong Fan. Could it beâ¦
An extremely frightening thought struck Alice.
She stood up and said to Gong Fan, âAre you willing to trust me for once?â
Gong Fan looked up at Alice and saw her determined expression. âTrust you to do what?â
âTrust that I am able to help you.â Alice said earnestly, âBut you need to come back to the Hurricane Group with me. When you do, Iâll design a treatment plan. It canât wait. Youâre not doing well. You have to be treated and monitored as soon as possible.â
âReturn to the Hurricane Group with you?â
âYes. But Iâm afraid your mommy wonât agree. Sheâs been very worried about me taking you awayâ¦â
Without waiting for Alice to finish, Gong Fan said firmly, âIâm willing to go back with you.â
Alice was mildly surprised.
âYouâre willing to go back with me?â
âHowever, I have one condition.â Gong Fan suddenly stood up and closed his eyes, as if he had finally made a final decision. âWhatever happens, no matter whether my condition eventually improves or worsens, please⦠you must save Youyou and destroy meâ¦â
Those words were said almost through clenched teeth.
Alice choked slightly. She didnât know why Gong Fan had made such a decision. Presumably, it was for Youyouâs sake and, more importantly, it was for Yun Shishi. However, it was hard to imagine how much courage he had mustered to make such a decision.
Human beings have very strong survival instincts. What kind of pressure did Gong Fan have to bear to have the courage to face death so directly?
The destruction of a personality was like death for an ordinary person. It wasnât as though he was tired of living On the contrary, he wanted to live and be well.
âItâs good to be alive.â Gong Fan said honestly, âIf I live, I will be able to see the beauty of the world and be with the people I like. However, if my existence is built on someone elseâs pain, then such an existence is meaningless.â
As he spoke, he felt himself choking up. He immediately looked away, his eyes narrowing as he tried to force back the tears that threatened to flow. He clenched his fists. âIâll go back with you, but you must agree to this condition.â
âYour mommy will never forgive me for doing this.â
âThereâs a saying⦠Itâs better to get it over with. Instead of living in torture, I might as well⦠get it over with. Whether itâs for Youyou, or Mommy, or anyone else, itâs a relief, isnât it?â
