Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 320 Lin Hui's Chapter (8)

Time passed slowly and gradually it was night.

At this time, everything was ready and everyone gathered outside the door.

In the room, the moonlight shone on Ge Lian from the left window. Bai Yan stood beside her, holding the decocted medicine and feeding it to Ge Lian's mouth spoon by spoon.

The medicine soup slid down Ge Lian's lips to his throat. After he finished drinking the soup, Bai Yan carefully comforted him to the bed. However, after waiting for a long time, Ge Lian's condition still did not change. Finally, he, who had been suppressed in a heavy mood for a long time, exploded.

"How could this happen? I followed the prescription exactly, why, why is it still not working?"

He collapsed, he went crazy, he fell to his knees, unable to endure this endless torment any longer.

Looking at everything in front of him, Long Xianlin, who was standing aside, sighed.

"Oh, accept reality. Life and death are determined by fate, by yin and yang. We can neither control the fate of others nor reverse the trend of life and death. Ge Lian... her fate is over."

Bai Yan suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse: "No! I don't believe it! There must be a way... There must be a way to save her! I have done so much, it is impossible that there is no result! Besides, you also said that this prescription is real, and the rumors are true! But why..."

His voice echoed in the silent room. Everyone stood at the door holding their breath, and no one dared to answer.

At this time, Long Xianlin shook his head. "Yes, that's true. But I also said that even if the prescription is effective, it won't achieve the results you want. Moreover, Ge Lian passed away three years ago. In the meantime, according to mortal worldly terms, she may have even entered the cycle of reincarnation. Even if the Resurrection Pill can bring her back to life, it will be just a body without a soul."

"No, I don't believe you are lying! Ge Lian is still alive, she just... doesn't want to open her eyes to look at me, ah! Yes, Ge Lian, please open your eyes, don't make such jokes anymore, okay?" He looked at the bed, his voice trembling, almost begging.

But Ge Lian still lay there quietly. Even though her face was full of life, her chest did not move at all.

Long Xianlin closed his eyes. It was obvious that his earnest advice had no effect. On the contrary, the other party was unable to accept the reality and had already fallen into a self-anesthetized fantasy. Even if he knew the truth, he was unwilling to face it. As a doctor, such people are often the most pitiful and the most helpless.

As she sighed, suddenly, spiritual energy began to gather. Under the moonlight, Ge Lian's body was dotted with starlight. The spiritual energy wrapped around her whole body, merging and spreading. All these signs surprised everyone outside the door.

A moment later, Ge Lian, who had been dead for three years, actually sat up from the bed.

"Fake, fake corpse?" Karen exclaimed.

"Could it be that the resurrection pill is really effective? That's not right. If that's the case, then why doesn't Long Xianlin show any sign of relief?" Mo Yan frowned and looked at Long Xianlin beside him.

He just stood there. Seeing Ge Lian coming back to life, he didn't show any joy at all. Instead, he showed a hint of worry and helplessness.

At this moment, Bai Yan had already rushed to Ge Lian's side, holding her hand tightly, tears streaming down his face: "Ge Lian! You really woke up! I knew... I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"

He was happy and excited. Seeing Ge Lian "come back to life", he thought that God had heard his call and finally responded.

Ge Lian slowly turned her head, her eyes fixed on Bai Yan's face. Her pupils were unfocused, as if she were looking through him at something far away.

"Bai...Yan..." Her voice was dry and mechanical, as if squeezed out from a very deep place, and each word had a strange pause.

And at this moment, she smiled and fell towards Bai Yan.

Seeing this, he wanted to help her, but at the moment when his fingertips touched her body, his hand passed through Ge Lian's body as if touching nothingness, and at this time Ge Lian's form began to shatter like starlight.

"What's going on...what the hell is going on!" Bai Yan's voice trembled as he watched Ge Lian in his arms transform into tiny specks of fluorescent light, slowly dissipating in the moonlight. His hands grasped in vain, but he could only catch empty air.

"This is the truth about the Resurrection Pill." Long Xianlin took a step forward, his face looking particularly solemn in the moonlight. "Indeed, some of the herbs in the Resurrection Pill contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It does have the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life. However, that so-called resurrection is merely a temporary revival of the spirit energy within the herbs. When the spirit energy completely dissipates, not only will the 'memories' of the mortal world, but also the physical form, vanish completely from the universe."

Bai Yan knelt on the ground, his arms still clasped together, a few lingering fluorescent lights still lingering on his fingertips. His voice was hoarse, "So she... the Ge Lian just now... is..."

Long Xianlin nodded solemnly: "It's just an illusion forced by the condensation of spiritual energy, carrying the final obsession of the deceased."

The room fell into a dead silence, with only the rustling of leaves outside the window. Bo Yan's tears fell silently on the floor, splashing tiny particles of dust.

"No! Things shouldn't be like this! Ge Lian... Ge Lian she..."

At this time, Bai Yan almost collapsed. After experiencing several ups and downs in his life, he even imagined that this was just a dream, a nightmare that he was unwilling to accept.

Long Xianlin sighed again: "Accept reality. In fact, you and I both know that Ge Lian passed away three years ago. It's time for her to wake up..."

"No, that's not true, that's not true!"

Bai Yan pounded the ground hysterically, his nails digging into his palms, oozing blood. A beast-like whimper erupted from his throat, and he curled up into a ball, as if this would allow him to escape reality.

Suddenly, he turned his gaze to the scissors used to trim branches.

The despair in his eyes gradually transformed into a terrifying determination as he looked at the scissors that flashed with cold light. His fingers twitched slightly, as if he could already feel the cold touch of the metal.

"Yes, since this world can't keep you, then I will go to your world... to find you!"

Under the gaze of everyone, he quickly picked up the scissors on the windowsill and put the blade to his throat.

"That's right, it's time to wake up from the dream."

In an instant, there was an uproar at the scene. Long Xianlin, Mo Yan, Kailin and others wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was too late.

The cold scissors flashed a sharp cold light in the moonlight, and at this critical moment -

Boom!

A fine flash of lightning flashed by, instantly knocking the scissors out of Bai Yan's hand. At this moment, he sat on the ground, wailing in pain, holding his right hand which was numb from the lightning.

"Fool, do you think you can be worthy of Ge Lian by dying like this?"
