(After many days)
Li Mo's physical condition had never been a problem throughout. Staying in this hospital would merely be a waste of money. He proposed to his sister that they should handle the discharge procedures. There was no need to waste time on the hospital bed.
Although my elder sister was somewhat reluctant, she knew that she would have to go to work at the company in a couple of days. If Li Mo continued to stay in the hospital, there would be no one to take care of him. Maybe she could spend the remaining few days of her vacation with Li Mo by her side. After all, it would be a worthy use of the vacation she had applied for with great difficulty.
(After one day)
Her elder sister's company urgently needed her to go back and handle some tasks. She ordered Li Mo to stay at home to take care of Alice and then rushed out to go to work in a hurry.
Alice wasn't in the mood to sit on the sofa and watch TV all day. She hoped Li Mu could accompany her to go shopping. Looking at the street scenes would be better than watching those extremely awkward and stupid TV programs. I really don't know what the point is in comparing each other's misfortunes...
"Are you going out?"
Li Mo looked at Alice, who was pleading with him, with a cold expression. He didn't want to wander around the city with someone he didn't even know at all. He didn't like to get too close to anyone. He despised this trashy world where people competed with each other for profit while disregarding emotions. He didn't understand.
"Why Alice's arrival would make him feel some kind of happiness that he had never experienced before..."
"Isn't happiness and joy good? Why not open your heart to embrace and integrate them, instead of making yourself miserable?"
This is not his idea. It's as if there is a voice speaking to him and presenting him with a thought that he cannot accept.
"Is it a kind of honor to be bathed in the happiness created by others... Is it lucky to live like the birds that think they are happy because they are attracted by the grains placed by the bird catchers... I even can't control my memory and thoughts. What's the use of accepting these happiness that appear out of nowhere..."
"No, look at Alice. She is listening attentively for your reply. Those who love you are right beside you. Why don't you cherish them?"
Li Mo's hands seemed to be out of control as they caressed Alice's head. The golden long hair had an alluring touch, which could emit an irresistible affection. It was like a spider's web, sticking to every fool who got entangled in it.
Li Mo knew that he had no choice but to comply with Alice's request. There was no alternative. Now he had to accompany her out. Wherever she wanted to go was fine with him.
...
Alice held Li Mo's hand and walked along the street. Her cheerful laughter was accompanied by her agile steps. She hummed a cheerful British nursery rhyme and looked around here and there.
"Brother, we can go to many places. There are the food streets that are so charming that one can't help but linger there, the romantic restaurants, or the cinemas that are frequented by many people... Brother, which one do you think is better?"
"Cinema..."
This is definitely an option with good value for money. You only need to spend a little money to enjoy yourself for one or two hours. Moreover, when Alice is distracted by the movie, she won't cry or make a fuss to disturb you.
"Yay! It's the cinema. Many big brothers take big sisters to watch movies. I don't know why exactly... It's so delightful for me to go there with my brother!" (*^▽^*)
Li Mu didn't even want to deal with the girl in front of him. He wouldn't be happy just because he was wandering around with others. But he had no choice. Li Mu had tried to rush onto the road and be killed by a car, but when the car approached, everything would revert to the state before he rushed onto the road and was hanging out with Alice. At that moment, he could feel that this was definitely not some so-called time-space travel. Instead, it was the things around that had changed... Now he could only act according to Alice's will.
"Ah... What did I hear? A person who failed in suicide attempt and suffers from cerebral palsy actually took his sister along to the cinema to watch a romantic comedy movie that is actually a bit of a joke."
Li Mo turned his gaze towards the woman who was mocking him from behind. He didn't know this woman, but she knew him. All the Shadow Warriors knew him. Only he himself had forgotten.
"You really haven't changed at all... Wait, what kind of expression are you wearing? It's as if you don't even recognize me... Hey! Don't play dumb!"
Li Mu looked at the talkative girl in front of him as if she were a fool. If his memory hadn't been damaged and the memories had been completely imported into his brain, he would surely have warmly waved to welcome the arrival of this girl... Unfortunately, now he knows nothing. He'd better know nothing at all...
Alice watched the woman before her warily, as if she had seen a terrifying monster. She timidly hid behind Li Mo.
"Have you really forgotten? Or are you not... But the blind left eye, the all-black outfit, even that identical face... How could it be... Have you really stopped recognizing me? I'm Fang Xin. You don't remember me anymore?"
The unremembered past, no matter how one tries, can never be recalled like the protagonist in a movie. No matter what happened in the past, it is now of no significance to Li Mu. Everything before him now might be hallucinations that are untrustworthy and fabricated. And he himself is like a guinea pig tossed into a glass cage and manipulated at will. Even he doesn't know who he is.
Fang Xin walked towards Li Mu without any hesitation. Meanwhile, Alice's trembling became more and more intense. Li Mu clearly sensed Alice's fear. Maybe the woman in front of him was very dangerous, or perhaps he could try to kill her...
"Hey! I didn't sense your slave's murderous intent or the aura of dominance, but I did sense your murderous desire. Are you being vigilant against me? Have your memories been impaired?"
When a passer-by walked past Fang Xin, his body was suddenly chopped in two by Steve's axe. After a scream of terror, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground. His blood slowly spread on the ground and then vanished like a pen mark erased by an eraser. Meanwhile, the surrounding passers-by just walked about as if they had witnessed nothing at all.
"Do you know? Right now you don't have the right to be wary of me. My kindness isn't something I offer all the time, and your life is not something you can control..."
Fang Xin looked at Alice who was hiding behind Li Mu, and seemed to have thought of something.
"Wait a moment... That frail little girl, could she be your slave? Hehe, it seems that the once most powerful Shadow Warrior has turned into a useless loser who dances with trash in this lifetime..."
Li Mo covered Alice with his hand. He himself didn't know why he did such a thing. The skull brand on the back of his hand was exposed in front of Fang Xin.
Fang Xin incorporated Steve back into her own imprint. She was not in the mood to torture newcomers now, let alone someone who was his reincarnation. Even if she lost her past memories, she wouldn't want to kill Li Mo here.
"Perhaps you should be grateful that I don't want to kill you right now. I think you don't even know the rules by now, aren't you? " "Desire" is really... All you need to know is that I have no ill intentions now... "
