ng Chi had no idea what happened during his coma; he only felt an explosive pain in his head and waist, like a traveler lost in the desert without water, food, or companions, as if the whole world had only him left.
Powerlessly collapsing on the desert, nerves in his head entangled with everything breaking apart, causing a wave of dizziness before his eyes. For so reason, ng Chi felt a sensation—a feeling of being close to death.
It turns out... a person is so close to death...
ng Chi is not afraid of death; in fact, he had experienced death early on.
The death of his mother during childhood left a shadow in his psyche for a ti, but he had to maintain normalcy, had to restrain himself because he knew that only this way could he survive in this family. Otherwise, the woman who caused his mother’s death would imdiately send him to so so-called ntal hospital for treatnt, while his father would hand over the inheritance originally ant for his mother to his so-called brother.
But he couldn’t shine too brightly; he needed to conserve strength and accumulate energy. He had to possess enough capability to genuinely avenge his mother in the future.
However, ideals are full, reality is bony.
Revenge is a distant matter. Whenever he seed about to uncover the truth, he’d be discovered and locked in the small dark room, faced with the endless sense of despair that descended on him repeatedly.
Lying in the small dark room with nothing, ng Chi sotis wondered if dying would end all this. That way, he could go to another world to find the only person who cared about him: his mother...
But he was unwilling to let those who killed his mother live a life stolen from her, enjoying the fruits of her hard work, playing the role of the so-called good father and stepmother.
[Do you want to die?]
Suddenly opening his eyes, ng Chi looked at the deserted desert, eyes wide open, "Who are you!"
[Who I am doesn’t matter; just answer my question,] the voice was unfriendly, sowhat displeased, [Why don’t you be a normal person and instead awaken your spiritual power, causing so much trouble for your sister? You guys are really annoying!]
ng Chi paused slightly. For so reason, he felt the originally mature and aged voice unexpectedly had a tinge of youth, and... who was this sister?
[ng Chi,] the aged voice sounded again, [Tell , why did you choose to beco a spiritual power user? Do you know the danger in doing so? You were supposed to be an ordinary person, living an ordinary life.]
Listening to the questioning voice, ng Chi slightly lowered his eyes and, after a while, chuckled faintly, "Why choose this... Do I need a reason?"
[Don’t you need a reason?]
"Of course not," ng Chi suddenly lifted his head, seriously looking toward the horizon, "I never think there needs to be a reason for everything done for that person."
"If a reason is really needed..." His lips curled faintly, voice gentle, "Bi Xia is my reason."
"I want to truly beco a brother who can help him, stand beside him, and strive together, instead of being soone he constantly needs to worry about and protect as a hindrance! If he were an ordinary person, I’d be willing to block bullets and shield him; if he were a spiritual power user, then I... even if faced with endless danger in the future, I would be willing!"
[Are you sure?] That voice was cold, [You might have no normal life, no normal world; you are different from Bi Xia. You are a normal person; awakening spiritual power is damaging your life chanism. Even if it shortens your life, are you willing?]
"As long as I can see him standing at the top, I am willing!"
[...What charm does she have that makes you do this for her? Do you like her?]
ng Chi was choked by the voice’s questioning, dumbfounded, staring at the gossipy horizon. After a while, he scratched his head, "I think... I should be straight..."
With that, ng Chi laughed heartily, "Honestly, I can’t distinguish it, but I’m very sure that I want to be Bi Xia’s eternal brother, a brother he can trust to guard his back!"
"As for why..." He chuckled lowly, softly murmuring, "Because he is... Bi Xia."
