Tick-tock, tick-tock, it sounded like droplets falling into water...
A very strange nightmare, a step back was an abyss, only by continuously moving forward, forward... but in the end, he still fell into the abyss...
"Ah!"
Zhang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
What came into view was a pale blue soft glow. On the bedside table was a medical device displaying his heart rate and various physical indicators.
For a moment, he had no idea where he was, and he was still in a daze, even struggling to recall who he was.
What on earth was going on?
"..."
Zhang Yuan blinked hard, deep in thought.
Suddenly, a flood of memories rushed up, and he felt his brain churn as if it was plagued by hordes of ants. His willpower wasn't completely up to endure it, and he clutched his head and let out a painful roar.
After what felt like an eternity, the pain slowly faded, and Zhang Yuan found himself drenched with sweat, gasping for air.
