Chapter 243: Chapter 224 Hallucination_2

However, not understanding does not mean it cannot be understood.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi thought of something; he couldn’t help but take a deep breath:

"Hiss... could it be that what I’m seeing now is another scene from the story?"

[Still in the story! Why can’t he forget about the last instance?]

Xiao Yi quickly denied this thought. "No, that’s even less likely; scenes from the story, that would be too unscientific..."

Honestly, Xiao Yi still hadn’t figured out what exactly had happened to him before.

However, Xiao Yi also knew that he should prioritize his current work for now.

Xiao Yi looked towards the ocean in the sky again and then he thought of another possibility.

"Hiss... could it be that this is actually my dream? Is this really a dream this time? Then..."

Xiao Yi seemed to think of something and immediately took action.

Xiao Yi stood on the railing of the boat, looking down into the unfathomably deep abyss below.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi was on a rocking boat; it wouldn’t be surprising if he fell at any moment.

Everyone in the live stream saw Xiao Yi’s action and their hearts skipped a beat, filled with tension and also very curious.

[Brother Xiao Yi, what are you doing!?]

Then, they heard Xiao Yi say,

"This must be a dream, I saw in a movie that in a dream, feeling a strong sensation of falling can wake you up, let’s test it here!"

[...Uh?]

Hearing this, the audience was even more shocked!

[Bro, don’t jump! That’s just a setting in movies, it might not apply to this instance!]

[And this might not even be a dream! It’s more likely a hallucination! What if Brother Xiao Yi is actually standing somewhere high up and jumps down, that would certainly be disastrous!]

But Xiao Yi couldn’t hear anyone else; with unwavering conviction, he jumped straight into the abyss that was seemingly bottomless.

This action scared many viewers so much that they immediately covered their eyes.

Quickly, Xiao Yi felt a strong falling sensation and then, he felt an impact on his back! The sensation of falling dissipated rapidly.

Feeling the solid sensation on his back, Xiao Yi immediately came to his senses and looked around.

He discovered that he was lying on the small bed in the cabin room; everything was the same as before, even the positions of the furnishings hadn’t changed.

"Indeed..." Xiao Yi nodded slightly, "I told you it was just a dream."

Seeing this scene, many viewers also breathed a sigh of relief; as long as nothing bad happened.

Xiao Yi then started searching himself, quickly finding his mobile phone.

"Oh! It’s really on me! I knew I couldn’t have possibly left my phone somewhere else; it’s the crystallization of modern human civilization, essential for life!"

However, while searching for his phone, Xiao Yi also felt a foreign object sensation on his body.

There was something in his pocket.

"What is this?" Xiao Yi picked it up to see—it was a medicine bottle. "Is this... medicine? I don’t recall being sick, whose medicine is this?"

It didn’t need to be said that it must be the medicine mentioned in the rule document, the only drug that could suppress hallucinations before the formal treatment proceeded.

Of course, Xiao Yi himself definitely did not understand this.

So, out of curiosity, Xiao Yi opened the medicine bottle to look inside.

Inside, there was only half a bottle left of white granular pills, certainly not lasting long.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Yi, driven by curiosity, picked up a pill and chewed it in his mouth.

[...Ah? He started eating it already!? But that medicine is extremely precious! Just wasting it like that?]

"Um... um... um?" Xiao Yi was chewing when he suddenly realized something was off, and immediately spat the medicine out, "Ptui! Ptui! This tastes so weird, not good at all. I guess I better not take it."

Having said that, Xiao Yi put the medicine on the table inside the cabin room and abandoned it there.

[Ah, this...]

The live streaming room also fell silent.

"So... now that I have my phone and have woken up from the dream, let’s go outside and see what’s really going on."

Saying this, Xiao Yi walked out of the room.

Outside, there was no longer the dim, abnormal scene, but instead a very calm and normal one.

The ocean was right below, with gentle waves continually moving toward the horizon.

The sound of the waves was also very calm, occasionally mixed with the calls of birds.

At this moment, it was just starting to get light, and... Xiao Yi vaguely saw shadows of land.

It wasn’t long after that the ship docked.

Although still unclear about what exactly was going on, the captain of the ship stated that it was Xiao Yi who had asked him to come here, and he was too tired to continue and asked Xiao Yi to quickly disembark.

Xiao Yi got off the boat somewhat confused, looking at the harbor, which was not only narrow but also dirty and messy, unsure where to go.

"Speaking of which, where’s Old Xu?" Xiao Yi muttered, "Why hasn’t he reported in this time? I wonder who pays his salary, he should definitely get a big deduction for slacking off like this!"

Just then, a middle-aged man, who seemed out of place in the dirty, chaotic environment and was dressed in clean, decent attire, walked straight toward Xiao Yi.

But one thing Xiao Yi didn’t understand was why this man opted to wear a yellow suit? That was too ugly...

Soon, the man in the yellow suit had already reached Xiao Yi and greeted him.

"Hello, I heard that a good friend of Doctor Carl’s was coming to town today, it seems that’s you, a pleasure to meet."

Saying this, he reached out his hand in a friendly gesture.

Xiao Yi didn’t shake his hand, but instead asked directly,

"Who are you? Do we know each other well?"

"Oh! My apologies." He bowed slightly to show his regret and continued, "I haven’t introduced myself yet, I run a Literature Lovers Club here, a haven for those lost souls living but not content just to live. My name isn’t important, after all, folks here prefer to call me Gentleman, and you may do the same."

"I see, then we are indeed not acquainted."

Xiao Yi concluded, intending to leave immediately, not bothering with this overly familiar person.

"...Ah?" The Gentleman didn’t expect Xiao Yi to just walk away, which flustered him, and he quickly stopped Xiao Yi.

"Wait! Are you leaving already? You probably don’t know where Doctor Carl lives, do you?"

"...And who is Carl?" Xiao Yi asked.

The Gentleman gave a resigned smile, "I must admit, your ability to feign ignorance is rather impressive. If I wasn’t aware of the situation, your naive demeanor might have actually fooled me."

Xiao Yi: "?"

Xiao Yi wondered what on earth this man was talking about.

The Gentleman then said, "But back to the point, I heard that a friend of Doctor Carl was coming here for treatment. There was an incident at Doctor Carl’s, so he couldn’t come to meet you himself and asked me to wait for you again. I am personally very interested in meeting Doctor Carl’s friend and wanted to see for myself what sort of person he might be...and indeed, you are extraordinary."

Saying this, the Gentleman looked Xiao Yi up and down again, as if contemplating something significant, nodding thoughtfully.

Then, he suddenly continued,

"However, out of goodwill, I’d like to warn you about something. It’s best not to trust Doctor Carl too much. I know he is a longtime friend of yours and you likely won’t listen to this advice. But remember, people are easily influenced by external forces; your old friend might have changed into a stranger within."
