1183: Chapter 1183: Changing Trajectory
This statent made Xu Huo furrow his brows.
However, the younger Xu Huo, imrsed in his mories, showed little reaction and calmly accepted Doctor Zhang’s explanation.
Chang Bei asked Doctor Zhang how he had restored the pen to its original state, and Xiao Liang, along with several other children, said they wanted to learn as well.
Doctor Zhang looked at them with affection in his eyes and said gently, “Everything and everyone has their own trajectory.
People move from birth to death, and things go from inception to extinction.
Trajectories can typically be seen as a straight line—much like the shape of a pen.”
As he spoke, he once again demonstrated splitting the pen into two segnts and then rging them together.
“Can trajectories be altered?” Chang Bei asked.
Doctor Zhang gave an affirmative reply.
Xiao Liang followed up, “Then how can a person’s trajectory be changed?”
Doctor Zhang raised his hand, gesturing for Xiao Liang to step forward and face the other children.
Using one hand, he placed his palm lightly on Xiao Liang’s head, then slowly lifted his arm.
A white thread-like substance erged from between Xiao Liang’s hair, trembling slightly under Doctor Zhang’s manipulation.
Although Xiao Liang’s eyes remained open, he appeared to have lost consciousness and stood there blankly.
The thread extended about thirty centiters before Doctor Zhang stopped and gently snipped it in the middle with his other hand.
The thread split into two segnts but continued to float above Xiao Liang’s head.
Then, he conjured another white thread out of thin air and attached it to the part of the broken thread still connected to Xiao Liang’s head.
The entire process took less than ten seconds.
When the white thread returned to Xiao Liang’s brain, subtle changes occurred in his gaze as he reopened his eyes.
He looked at Xu Huo as if he were a complete stranger.
“You altered his mory,” Xu Huo stated.
“mory cannot be changed,” Doctor Zhang responded.
“It is stored completely in a person’s brain.
At most, it can be selectively forgotten or deepened.
However, mories can be grafted.
mories that don’t belong to soone can be implanted, and they will accept them as reality.”
“Won’t he eventually recall his original mories?” Xu Huo asked as he lightly patted Xiao Liang’s head.
Xiao Liang gave him a look of disdain in return.
“That depends on the circumstances,” Doctor Zhang replied, pushing Xiao Liang aside while signaling Xu Huo to step forward.
Xu Huo complied and extended his hand when instructed.
Doctor Zhang injected him with the potion and gently patted his head.
“So people are able to recall them.”
Xu Huo clutched the top of his head.
“Don’t add soone else’s mories to .”
Doctor Zhang smiled and removed Xu Huo’s hand.
“You’re a smart child.
You should know you cannot resist .”
“Then I’ll start training to resist you.” Xu Huo said, “When I gain enough power soday, I’ll succeed.”
From the perspective of a teacher and student, such words could be considered a defeat for Doctor Zhang.
However, not only did he not take offense, he even smiled and said, “That’s a very good thought.”
“But for now, there’s no need.”
He instructed the other children to leave the office.
“Today, Xu Huo is undergoing testing.”
Amid the envious gazes of the other children, Xu Huo remained in the office.
As the door closed, he felt the subrged version of himself locked outside.
When he opened his eyes, he had returned to the earlier darkness.
Xu Huo swam up from the water, once again finding himself standing on its surface.
While subrged, he didn’t feel like he was drowning, but upon surfacing, his clothes were soaked, and his body felt noticeably heavier than before.
Squeezing water out of his clothes, he turned back toward the broken bridge.
However, the bridge remained misaligned, neither moving closer nor aligning properly.
The fragntary mories from earlier weren’t enough to reconnect his altered mories.
After lingering in place for a mont, he raised his hand and made a counterclockwise motion, then returned to the drowning location and subrged himself again.
This ti, the first thing he felt was pain.
His head seed like it was splitting apart, forcing him to kneel down and writhe in agony.
However, the next mont, his head was seized by soone and lifted upward.
Doctor Zhang pressed him against a floating fra in midair, forcing him to stare directly at the intense light emitted from within.
His tone remained gentle: “Look carefully at what’s inside.
Humans can only perceive things through their eyes.
If you can’t see, then you’re no different from the blind.”
“My eyes hurt…” Tears stread down Xu Huo’s face.
“This isn’t real pain,” Doctor Zhang said coldly.
“Your eyes are deceiving you.
Open them!”
Xu Huo was forced to open his eyelids, but the intense light stung his eyeballs once more.
Liquid stread from the corners of his eyes; he couldn’t tell if it was tears or blood.
Doctor Zhang seed displeased.
After releasing him, he administered another dose of potion and said, “You won’t be leaving until today’s task is complete.”
With that, the sound of footsteps retreated, leaving Xu Huo kneeling on the ground.
It took him a long ti to adjust before he finally regained his ability to see.
After resting for a few minutes, he returned to the floating fra and forced his eyes open to look inside.
When younger Xu Huo looked, all he saw was dazzling white light.
But the current Xu Huo could peer through the brightness and see what lay within—an eyeball.
It bore a striking resemblance to the vertical pupil in his spiritual world, except this one was spinning.
Hundreds, thousands of identical eyeballs were arranged together in impossible configurations, morphing with inhuman speed.
At tis, they seed to form pixelated depictions of indescribable objects; at others, they resembled writhing, densely packed worms that evoked visceral nausea.
Young Xu Huo vomited.
Xu Huo knew Doctor Zhang was waiting outside but did not enter.
Even after vomiting, young Xu Huo climbed back up and looked again.
This ti, he saw the eyeball in the white light.
As he adapted to its changes, he quickly caught the mont when the countless overlapping eyeballs created a single image—a long and winding passageway.
Through this corridor, the eye could effortlessly see farther than normal.
At the sa ti, the floating eyeballs in the white light slowed down significantly, becoming clear to the observer.
Each layer of eyeballs resembled a layer of space, thodically and serenely expanding their vision into dinsions beyond this world.
Xu Huo’s spiritual world was massively impacted.
While he could withstand the first half, he couldn’t endure the latter.
The pain made him convulse uncontrollably, but even as his body began to separate from his consciousness, his awareness remained entangled, following his younger self into the unnerving eyeball spaces!
Realizing his body and consciousness were gradually detaching, Xu Huo tried to forcibly awaken his spiritual world in order to escape.
Before he succeeded, however, another hand ca down to rest on his own.
In the blink of an eye, his vision abruptly returned to the treatnt room from earlier.
Tang Guangbo was still seated in front of him, but all the other players outside had vanished.
“The therapy isn’t over yet,” Xu Huo said, looking at Tang Guangbo.
Tang Guangbo kept his left hand on Xu Huo’s hand and passed him a cup of water with his right.
“It hasn’t ended.
This is rely the intermission.”
An intermission didn’t an that Xu Huo had erged from hypnosis; they were simply situated in another spiritual world.
“I didn’t expect you to actually pull
out,” Xu Huo said, accepting the cup.
“I want to use my mories to gain a chance at experiencing Spirit Evolution for the third ti.”
