Chapter 198: Chapter 197: Impossible to Tell Truth from Falsehood
Lin Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes, and a snow-white head came into view.
Her thoughts were somewhat sluggish, and for a moment she didn’t understand where she was or who the little girl in front of her was.
"Mother, you’re awake? I want some water." The snow-white little girl suddenly called her mother.
"Oh, Mother will get you some water." Lin Wanwan turned over out of bed, went to the coffee table in the small living room next to the bed, and awkwardly found the cup and kettle, pouring half a cup of water.
What? No, this is the room she rented in modern Yu City, how could there be a vintage ceramic kettle and cup here?
Lin Wanwan’s spirit jolted, she realized it and suddenly turned her head to look at the pure white little girl leaning obediently against the bed, looking at her with a pair of innocent grey-blue eyes.
It’s that little girl again! She must be poisoned by the little girl, causing hallucinations! But, how could it be in modern times? Why is it that every time she goes under hallucination, the scene is modern? The first time as well, she inexplicably appeared on the bustling streets of the modern era.
But none of this is real. This isn’t reality, and the little girl before her might also be imagined.
After all, later on she inquired, all the monks at Lingyin Temple said they had never seen such a white little girl. A person as characteristic as the little girl, anyone who encountered her, could not possibly forget.
Lin Wanwan’s face turned cold, she withdrew her gaze from the little girl, turned around, and sat on the sofa, clutching the cup, silent and speechless.
Now Elder Sun is gone, she doesn’t know how to detoxify and return to reality. The toxicity of the poisonous mushroom is hard to estimate, some directly target the nerves. As an amateur barefoot doctor, relying on medical skills to detoxify might be impossible.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan suddenly turned her head to stare at the little girl coldly, saying: "It’s your trick, isn’t it?"
The little girl blinked twice, dragging her dress from the bedside towards Lin Wanwan. She reached out her little hand to hug Lin Wanwan, but Lin Wanwan pushed her away.
The little girl was a bit aggrieved: "Mother, do you not want me anymore? I’ll be very obedient, is it not okay if I don’t want water anymore?"
Lin Wanwan didn’t want to talk to the little girl, hallucination, it’s all hallucination! She refused to communicate with hallucinations! She wanted to leave the little girl and find a place without people and open the Space-Time Gate to see for herself.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan suddenly pushed the little girl away, causing her to fall onto the floor, then Lin Wanwan quickly stood up, opened the door, and ran out. Just entering the elevator, she bumped into Gong Mingyu from next door.
"Oh, Wanwan, what’s wrong, why are you in such a hurry?"
Hallucinations, it’s all hallucinations! Whether she opened the Space-Time Gate or not, how could she appear in the modern era?
Lin Wanwan didn’t want to say a word, fearing that opening her mouth and communicating with figures in the hallucination would cause her to sink deeper, unable to extricate herself. Faced with Gong Mingyu’s questions, Lin Wanwan pretended not to hear, pushed her aside, rushed into the elevator, and pressed the button for the first floor.
"This... what’s going on?" Gong Mingyu was at a loss.
The elevator gently descended, finally reaching the first floor, the door opened, and there was no one in the elevator hall, shockingly quiet.
"No, why should I leave, the one who should leave isn’t me."
Lin Wanwan murmured to herself, reached out to press the close button, and just as the elevator door was about to close, a pair of white hands suddenly extended inside.
The elevator door touched the arm, then automatically opened, and in front of Lin Wanwan appeared the breathtakingly beautiful albino little girl. Behind her followed a strangely dressed, ugly old woman.
Lin Wanwan inhaled sharply, staring straight at the white-haired little girl, anger gradually flaring up in her eyes.
"What exactly do you want?!" She suddenly shouted sternly, scaring the little girl who touched her chest and jumped.
Following her again and again, really thinking she has no temper?
Lin Wanwan stepped forward, arriving in front of the little girl, grabbing her collar and lifting her up. With her current arm strength, lifting a little girl was an easy task. The oddly dressed, ugly old woman clearly didn’t expect Lin Wanwan to suddenly make a move, hurried to stop her, but was kicked out by Lin Wanwan, unable to get up for a while.
If Lin Wanwan hadn’t held back, just that kick would’ve been enough to kill the other person. After all, now she’s a strong person.
The little girl was clearly startled, saying timidly while looking at Lin Wanwan: "Auntie, I’m scared."
In those grey-blue eyes, crystalline tears actually emerged.
"Auntie? You’re calling me auntie now? Not calling me mother anymore?" Lin Wanwan’s eyes turned red, glaring fiercely at the little girl, "Acting so well, why don’t you become an actress?!"
"Ah! Wanwan, what are you doing, why are you grabbing a little child?" Realizing Lin Wanwan seemed a bit wrong, Gong Mingyu chased her downstairs and was shocked by the scene before her.
She saw Lin Wanwan holding a five or six-year-old little girl with one hand, and there was a middle-aged woman lying on the side of the elevator hall.
"Call... call the police, help... help me call the police..." The old woman lying on the ground pleaded to Gong Mingyu for help, Gong Mingyu was somewhat scared by Lin Wanwan’s crazy appearance, not daring to approach.
This beauty writer who likes to stay home for days without going out or socializing, could really be mentally disturbed?
The little girl in Lin Wanwan’s grasp was frightened by her fierce expression and cried, "Wah wah, grandma, I’m scared! Wah wah, grandma, grandma, I’m scared!"
Lin Wanwan’s expression softened for a moment, could it be that she brought the little girl from the Great Tang to the modern era through the Space-Time Gate? Could it be that all of this wasn’t an illusion, but reality?
No, this is hallucination! The Space-Time Gate can’t bring people! She’s tried, she’s tried it!
It’s all fake!
Lin Wanwan suddenly tightened her grip, clutching the little girl’s neck, wanting to crush her in the next second, thinking it’s just an illusion, as long as she crushes the source of this illusion, everything will return.
"Cough cough cough!"
The little girl painfully stuck her tongue out and coughed, tears dropping onto Lin Wanwan’s hand, almost inflicting a burn.
Lin Wanwan suddenly loosened her grip, what if the little girl truly existed? What if she really brought her from the Great Tang to the modern era? She... she can’t kill someone in modern times. Otherwise, she’d have to hide in the Great Tang forever, unable to return to the modern era again, the law won’t tolerate her.
"Is this really true or false? What should I do! I can’t distinguish!" Lin Wanwan murmured a few words, suddenly looked at Gong Mingyu, asking her, "Are you real? What’s your name?"
"I... I’m Gong Mingyu, don’t you recognize me?" Gong Mingyu replied cautiously.
