“Da Yi, do you feel that your eyelids are getting heavier, but your consciousness is getting clearer and clearer?”
“Yes…”
“It seems like there are many doors in front of you, and each one is labeled with your age. Can you see them?”
“It seems so…”
“Open the door marked with the age you want to change the most and go back to the year you least want to face. Find the injured, crying version of you. Can you see it?”
In Dong Yi’s mind, the scene of her crying on the rooftop during the year of the incident indeed appeared clearly. Her two states of consciousness began to intertwine, and she painfully sought help from Xiao Qian.
“Boss Qian, what should I do? I can see it. I’m so sad!”
Just then, the light bulb in the room suddenly started flickering, and Xiao Qian knew, the ti was now!
Dong Yi, being guided by the oil essence, alcohol, and Xiao Qian, could see the most miserable scene from that year. She started to feel heart palpitations, dizziness, and even cold sweats, reaching out to Xiao Qian for help.
“Don’t be afraid, Dong Yi. I’ll take you out of here. Let’s go through these doors together and find the hurt child in our hearts.”
Xiao Qian grabbed Dong Yi’s hand and started running outward. The hostel’s stairs were not regular stairs but a rusty iron ladder, which led to the top floor.
“Da Yi, run, the mudslide is coming!” Xiao Qian knew that Dong Yi was now in a state of hallucination.
As she spoke, Dong Yi seed to see the flood beside her. At that mont, Xiao Qian suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.
“Boss Qian!” Dong Yi reached out to help Xiao Qian, but she couldn’t get up.
“Da Yi, I can’t walk.”
“I’ll help you!”
“No, if you help , you won’t make it. Only one of us can live. Who do you choose?”
“Stop talking, I’ll help you!” Using her height advantage, Dong Yi managed to put Xiao Qian on the ladder. After Xiao Qian stood on the ladder, she turned around and spoke to Dong Yi.
“The water is coming. You won’t have ti to co up. Sleep, go find your hurt child in your dreams, embrace her, comfort her, tell her that it’s not her fault that her parents have died. It’s just like today when you ‘drowned’ to save …”
After Xiao Qian finished speaking, Dong Yi’s vision began to blur, and her body slumped.
Jumping down from the ladder, Xiao Qian confird that Dong Yi had passed out, and then spoke to the small opening leading to the rooftop, “Alright, you can co down now.”
A man wearing a camouflage mask and glasses imdiately erged from the other side.
“Will she be okay?” The man’s voice was very low.
“The hallucinations caused by the oil essence will naturally disappear as the alcohol fades. In theory, there will be no lingering effects. Quickly carry her up.”
After the man took Dong Yi to the rooftop, Xiao Qian climbed up as well and took the walkie-talkie handed over by the man. Yu Mingyi’s voice ca through it.
“Ready.”
“It’s up to you now. Rember, recreate the scene and speak to her exactly as I taught you. Bring her to the helicopter in the sa way you did when you rescued her in the past. Tell her that her parents have forgiven her. Emphasize over and over that the disaster is not her fault. She feels very secure when you hold her, so if she loses control, rember to hold her and comfort her like a relative would. After the helicopter lands, I’ll handle the rest of her treatnt. I’ll be waiting for you at the agreed-upon location.”
“Understood.”
After Xiao Qian finished speaking, she returned the walkie-talkie to the masked man, only to find that he was staring straight at her intently, his eyes sohow feeling unusually warm even through his sunglasses.
He was so well concealed that she couldn’t make out his features, but the added scarf around his neck reminded her of Xiao Hei’s old unit.
In her past life, she had asked Yu Minglang about the scarf around his neck. His answer was that he didn’t always wear it; the scarf could be unfolded into a map, silent when opened, similar in principle to a pilot’s scarf, and had so other functions. It was seldom used nowadays.
So, was this soone that Second Brother had found to help?
Xiao Qian’s thoughts flashed briefly, not having ti to ponder, as the sound of a helicopter already appeared in the sky. Yu Mingyi was coming!
Xiao Qian took out a small spray bottle filled with clear water from her pocket and sprayed it a few tis on Dong Yi’s face. Seeing her eyelashes flutter, she quickly gestured for the well-covered man to retreat. The two of them withdrew rapidly.
“Can the oil essence really cause hallucinations?” The masked man asked.
“To be more precise, it can amplify the effects of alcohol by ten tis. You could say her state right now is like being intoxicated with alcohol. As for the hallucinations, they were partly induced by external forces and partly by my prior hypnosis. This should not be attempted by anyone without several years of clinical treatnt experience, as it can go wrong.” Do not imitate if you are inexperienced.
What a strange man, even though she had never heard his voice and his face was fully covered, he sohow gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. “How many years of experience do you have, then?”
“That’s classified.”
When Dong Yi woke up, her head was still a ss, and she felt sowhat dizzy. She didn’t understand where she was. The dimly lit rooftop, with gusty winds blowing, felt familiar…
She couldn’t rember anything. It seed as if she had just faced danger, and then Boss Qian had-
That’s right, Boss Qian!
Dong Yi imdiately stood up and looked for Xiao Qian. When she discovered she was on the rooftop, her face changed dramatically, and the world seed to spin.
Was she dead? Had she drowned herself after getting Boss Qian to safety, and now she was in the afterlife? But where were Mom and Dad…
At this point, Dong Yi was between consciousness and her subconscious, her head still spinning and her thoughts jumbled.
Suddenly, she heard noise from above. The sound of a propeller cutting through the night sky. She looked up and saw a helicopter, just like the one from that year!
A rope ladder was lowered from the helicopter, and a man descended. Although the visibility was poor in the weak light, Dong Yi imdiately recognized him as her Uncle!
“Dong Yi, co with .”
“Uncle, don’t bother with ; I should’ve died a long ti ago…” Dong Yi covered her mouth and stepped back.
Yu Mingyi jumped off the rope and looked at Dong Yi, who was trying to run away. He grabbed her quickly.
Wearing an earpiece, he listened to Xiao Qian, who was eavesdropping at the opening to the rooftop. Taking the earpiece handed to her by the man, she said.
“Tell her to live. The disaster wasn’t her fault.”
“Dong Yi, disasters are unstoppable and not your fault. You have to live on, and it’s what your parents would want too.” Yu Mingyi held Dong Yi’s hand, sensing her emotions were on the verge of collapsing.
Seeing the pain of the young girl from back then, Yu Mingyi’s heart also ached. He hoped that Xiao Qian’s reenactnt would work, as Dong Yi’s current situation looked far from promising, as if she could go berserk any mont..
