4358 The Other Side 327

Alice stared at the boy in silence. She kept her expression neutral, but inside she was praying that both he and Gong Fan would be able to get through this in one piece.

…

Youyou woke suddenly that night.

His waking was a pleasant surprise to Alice. She could hardly contain herself. There were so many questions she wanted to ask, but because he had only just woken up, she forced herself to calm down.

"How do you feel, Youyou? Do you feel better, more awake?"

"Be quiet for a moment." Romanka motioned for her to be quiet, then brought a glass of milk and held it out to the boy.

However, the little one looked up and around. He first muttered to himself, "Where am I?" Then he turned back and gave her a long look, but he was clearly puzzled.

"I… am not Youyou."

"…" Alice and Romanka were stunned.

Seeing their strange expressions, Gong Fan couldn't help but worry. "What's wrong with Youyou? Did something happen?"

"What … what's going on?" Alice exchanged a worried glance with Romanka. She seemed impatient. "Where… is Youyou?"

Romanka had not expected this turn of events as well. After all, no matter what the experiment, there would always be unexpected twists and turns. Now, he had encountered a tricky matter.

He had hypnotized Youyou, hoping that the boy would go deep into the dream and find Gong Fan. Moreover, by working together in the dream, the two boys could explore the potential personalities in his body.

However, there was still an hour to go before he should wake up.

What caught Romanka and Alice off guard was that it was Gong Fan who had woken up!

That meant Youyou was trapped in the dream.

If the boy wanted to wake up, he would probably not be able to return now that Gong Fan was occupying his body.

Romanka and Alice exchanged worried glances.

Gong Fan sized them up with a strange expression and asked nervously, "What's going on?"

"Well… we were originally conducting an experiment." Romanka told him everything he wanted to know about the purpose of the experiment.

Gong Fan was smart and immediately understood their intentions. In addition, he had heard Alice mention it by chance before. She wanted to do such an experiment. He accepted it gladly. Alice had said that the ideal state for Youyou was to have two of his best personalities—Youyou and Gong Fan—merging with each other. That would be the best outcome.

He agreed with the plan too. Except…

"In other words, if I suddenly wake up in this experiment and take over the body, Youyou won't be able to return, is that right?"

Alice said hesitantly, "That's… that's the theory. But it shouldn't matter."

"No, there is danger."

Suddenly, however, Romanka interrupted Alice. "This time, Youyou shouldn't be sleeping as much as usual. I had hypnotized him into the XY dimension, hoping he'll locate other personalities. When the time comes, he'd better return. If he stays in that dimension too long, I'm afraid those dangerous personalities will surface and harm him."

Alice was skeptical. "The dominant personality never goes away, isn't that so?"

Gong Fan also looked at Romanka in confusion.
