4311 The Other Side 280

"How did that happen? Was I dreaming, or…"

"Did it feel as if your soul was outside of your body?"

"I don't know what it's like to have an out-of-body experience, but I felt like I was looking at all this from a god's perspective."

"That's exactly it!" Alice snapped her fingers and explained earnestly, "The personality who controlled this body at that point of time was not you."

"Then …" Gong Fan was even more incredulous. "Could it be Youyou? Impossible. How could he possibly do something like that?"

"That's what worries me the most. It wasn't you, and it couldn't have been Youyou. So who was controlling the body at the time?"

If one thought about it deeply, it was rather terrifying.

Alice couldn't come to a conclusion on what had happened in Gong Fan's body. But there was one thing she could bet her life on… The person holding the knife was not Gong Fan. Could it be…

An extremely frightening thought struck Alice.

She stood up and said to Gong Fan, "Are you willing to trust me for once?"

Gong Fan looked up at Alice and saw her determined expression. "Trust you to do what?"

"Trust that I am able to help you." Alice said earnestly, "But you need to come back to the Hurricane Group with me. When you do, I'll design a treatment plan. It can't wait. You're not doing well. You have to be treated and monitored as soon as possible."

"Return to the Hurricane Group with you?"

"Yes. But I'm afraid your mommy won't agree. She's been very worried about me taking you away…"

Without waiting for Alice to finish, Gong Fan said firmly, "I'm willing to go back with you."

Alice was mildly surprised.

"You're willing to go back with me?"

"However, I have one condition." Gong Fan suddenly stood up and closed his eyes, as if he had finally made a final decision. "Whatever happens, no matter whether my condition eventually improves or worsens, please… you must save Youyou and destroy me…"

Those words were said almost through clenched teeth.

Alice choked slightly. She didn't know why Gong Fan had made such a decision. Presumably, it was for Youyou's sake and, more importantly, it was for Yun Shishi. However, it was hard to imagine how much courage he had mustered to make such a decision.

Human beings have very strong survival instincts. What kind of pressure did Gong Fan have to bear to have the courage to face death so directly?

The destruction of a personality was like death for an ordinary person. It wasn't as though he was tired of living On the contrary, he wanted to live and be well.

"It's good to be alive." Gong Fan said honestly, "If I live, I will be able to see the beauty of the world and be with the people I like. However, if my existence is built on someone else's pain, then such an existence is meaningless."

As he spoke, he felt himself choking up. He immediately looked away, his eyes narrowing as he tried to force back the tears that threatened to flow. He clenched his fists. "I'll go back with you, but you must agree to this condition."

"Your mommy will never forgive me for doing this."

"There's a saying… It's better to get it over with. Instead of living in torture, I might as well… get it over with. Whether it's for Youyou, or Mommy, or anyone else, it's a relief, isn't it?"
