Li Huowang lay on the clean hospital bed, his eyes wide open, taking in everything around him. He glanced about the room, then down at himself. It felt as if he understood something, yet at the same time, understood nothing at all.
As the ringing in his ears faded, a familiar voice spoke up. "Li Huowang? You're finally awake? That's great!"
Li Huowang turned to see Yi Donglai beside him, gazing at him with a worried expression.
"I... I'm awake," Li Huowang said, his face immediately flooding with relief. "I'm finally awake. Those Huan Jue were terrifying, but thank God they were fake. Thank God it was all fake."
"What do you mean, fake? It's all real! Time rewound again! It just rewound to a different point this time! Haven't you noticed you only have one eye?" Yi Donglai's tense voice rose a notch. He looked terrified, his eyes completely bloodshot.
