Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

After walking out of the slightly heavy door of the hospital, Lantian looked a little tired but with a hint of determination.

She had just left Li San in the hospital ward that was filled with the smell of disinfectant, surrounded by noisy voices and medical staff rushing around.

Lantian found the nurse he had hired and instructed the nurse concisely and clearly to complete the hospitalization procedures for Li San.

Then, she walked to the payment counter and paid Li San's six-month fee in one go, quickly and without any hesitation.

Before that, Lantian pressed Li San's sleeping point.

This is not an ordinary method. In this way, she seemed to have pressed the pause button on Li San's world.

From today on, he will be in a coma as if he were trapped in an endless dark dream.

Unless someone in this world knows the secret and opens his sleeping point, he will be forgotten by time.

Lantian believed that this secret was only known to her and the original owner would not know it.

In Li Hongyan's bustling livestream, it was as if a bombshell had been dropped. News about Lantian and Li San spread like a surging tide, instantly causing a stir. Comments streamed across the screen like snowflakes, with netizens airing their opinions and a flood of speculation. Each one was like a stone dropped into the pool of public opinion, stirring up ripples.

At the hospital entrance, the reporters were like chickens with blood pumped up, their eyes gleaming with excitement as they keenly grasped and pursued the latest news. They swarmed over, surrounding Lan Tian tightly, peppering him with question after question, as if they were trying to dissect his inner world.

Meanwhile, online articles were no less captivating. Headlines as eye-catching as the brightest stars in the night sky blazed with titles like, "Why did Xin Tian do this? What's the secret behind Li San's coma? Will Xin Tian annul his marriage to Li San?" These headlines, like hooks, captivated countless netizens, sending clicks soaring like a rocket.

The reporters were like cheetahs smelling prey, moving swiftly and agilely. The moment they successfully blocked Lan Tian at the hospital entrance, all sorts of questions bombarded her like cannonballs.

"Ms. Lantian, we all know that Li San abused you so badly, but you still treated him. Why is that? What kind of unknown story is there between you two?" A reporter asked anxiously, holding the microphone.

"Li San is in a coma this time. What does this have to do with you? What are your plans? Will you file for divorce from Li San because of this incident?" Another reporter followed up with questions.

"Ms. Xin Tian, ​​we just saw you go for an injury assessment. Will you hold Li San legally responsible for domestic violence against you? This is also a very important point of concern for the public." Another reporter raised the question from another angle.

"And I saw you go to the psychiatric department, and the live broadcast announced that you've been fully cured. So, will you return to the Xin family to fight for your share of the inheritance? Will you directly take over the Xin family's already shaky company? Judging from the current situation, the company is facing a huge crisis. Do you think you have what it takes to lead the Xin family through this difficult time?"

Problems come one after another, like surging waves, one wave after another.

Lantian just frowned slightly and walked through the crowd without saying a word. Her eyes looked firmly into the distance. Her silent attitude was telling the reporters around her that she didn't want to answer any questions now.

Lan Tian thought to herself, at least, after the divorce procedures between the original owner and Li San were completed, nothing would happen between Li San and the original owner. She was really fed up with Li San. He was like a stink bug, not very harmful, but disgusting.

This was something she had already decided in her mind and would not change due to external interference.

(⊙_⊙)?

A crowd of people surged in front of the hospital gate, and reporters, like sharks smelling blood, held microphones and carried cameras, surrounding the place tightly.

The sunlight shining on the ground could not dispel the suffocating atmosphere. The air was filled with tension and noise. Every sound was like a death-prompting drumbeat, beating Lantian's heart.

Xin Tian's soul was like a wisp of smoke, floating quietly behind Lan Tian.

Her figure was illusory and vague, seeming real and illusory, like a transparent dream, but at this moment Lantian was too busy to pay attention to this strange scene.

Lantian frowned slightly, a trace of imperceptible worry flashed in his eyes, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

She seemed to sense the special presence behind her, and glanced back at the shadow floating not far behind her.

There was doubt and inquiry in his eyes.

"Ergou, Xin Tian's soul can't be too far away from her body, right?"

Lantian directly asked the arrogant Ergou in his own sea of ​​consciousness.

"This is very possible, host."

Ergou's voice sounded in Lantian's mind, with his usual cleverness, but this time with a bit more seriousness.

"Look, she hasn't left you more than two meters since we got here. I think what you said might be the truth."

After hearing what Ergou said, Lantian frowned even more and was silent for a long time.

His eyes were somewhat empty, as if he was lost in deep thought.

She was wondering why Xin Tian didn't leave this world. Could it be... some special bond or mission?

But she had no time to think deeply at this moment, as the reporters around her were like wolves and tigers making her feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.

She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and walked out of the hospital.

At that moment, the sunlight shone on her face, but she felt a little dazed. This sunlight did not belong to her. She was a lonely passerby in this lively scene.

She had a feeling that every step she took was cautious, as if there was a bottomless abyss under her feet, and if she was not careful she would be doomed.

"Goddess, where are you going?"

A crisp voice came from behind. Lantian turned around and saw that it was Li Hongyan and Zhang Li. They had just turned off the live broadcast and were jogging to catch up.

There was curiosity and concern in Li Hongyan's eyes, but more of it was nervousness. Her lips turned slightly pale and her hands were unconsciously clenched.

Zhang Li was breathing slightly, but his eyes were fixed on Lantian, and the veins on his forehead were slightly bulging due to tension.

Lantian didn't answer, but just signaled them with his eyes to be quiet.

She looked around and found a relatively hidden path where there were no reporters.

She winked at Li Hongyan and Zhang Li, then crouched down and tiptoed towards the path.

Li Hongyan and Zhang Li understood Lantian's suggestion and followed him cautiously. Their steps were as light as cats, and they observed their surroundings before taking each step. Their heartbeats were particularly clear in this silent movement, beating the drums to the tense rhythm of the three people.

When they turned a corner, a reporter seemed to notice the commotion and walked towards them.

The reporter's footsteps were light, but each step weighed heavily on Lantian's heart.

Lantian's heart was in her throat. She felt as if her throat was being tightly strangled by an invisible hand, making it impossible to breathe.

She quickly pulled Li Hongyan and Zhang Li to hide behind a large trash can. The trash can emitted a pungent smell, but the three of them didn't care about that at the moment.

The three of them huddled together tightly, not daring to breathe, fearing that any breathing sound would expose them.

Lantian could clearly hear the heartbeats of Li Hongyan and Zhang Li. The "boom, boom, boom" sound echoed wildly in her ears, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

Li Hongyan's body trembled slightly. She grabbed Lantian's arm tightly, and her nails dug into Lantian's clothes.

Zhang Lize closed his eyes tightly, frowned, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.

The footsteps of the reporters were getting closer and closer. Zhang Li felt so nervous that her palms were sweating. She covered her mouth with her hands, afraid of making any sound.

The wet palm pressed against her mouth made her feel an inexplicable fear.

Li Hongyan's face was also full of tension, her eyes were wide open and full of fear, like a frightened deer.

Just as the reporter was about to reach the trash can, a noise came from another direction. The reporter hesitated for a moment and turned to walk towards the direction of the noise.

The sound of the departing footsteps, every step seemed to step on their nerves, until they completely disappeared, and then the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and took this opportunity to quickly run out from behind the trash can and continue running towards the trail.

Their figures ran wildly on the trail like prey being chased by hunters.

The wind whistled past their ears, but it couldn't blow away the tension that followed them like a shadow.

They ran all the way until they were sure that the reporters had not caught up with them. Then Lantian stopped, supported his knees with his hands, and gasped for breath.

Her legs were weak. This body still didn't have enough physical strength. Everything that had just happened was undoubtedly like a life-and-death battle for this body.

"Huh... I finally got rid of them." Li Hongyan breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on her face, but there was still a hint of shock in that smile.

Zhang Li looked at the two of them and smiled at each other. There was relief in that smile for having survived the disaster. The tense atmosphere just now gradually dissipated like a dark cloud, but the thrilling feeling was deeply engraved in their memories.

Lantian stood there, his eyes lingering on Li Hongyan and Zhang Li for a moment. Then he raised his slender arm and gently shook the phone in his hand. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said softly, "Contact me if you have anything."

Her voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the somewhat silent atmosphere, and her tone had a sense of alienation yet politeness.

In fact, not long after entering the hospital, Li Hongyan pulled Zhang Li and chased Lantian, and the three of them added each other on WeChat.

Li Hongyan was a smart girl. She glanced at Lantian, and a hint of understanding flashed in her bright eyes.

She knew, from Lantian's eyes and actions, that the person behind her didn't want to follow her.

But she was not annoyed, and still had a bright smile on her face. That smile was like the warm sun in winter, with the power to warm people's hearts.

As she smiled, she naturally took out her cell phone and, like Lantian, gently shook it in the air. A clear voice accompanied her cheerful words: "If you have anything, contact me. See you later."

There wasn't a trace of embarrassment or dissatisfaction in those words, but instead they were filled with open-mindedness and unrestrainedness towards this special encounter.

Zhang Li watched the two of them from the side and laughed too. He waved to Lantian as a farewell.

＼(＾?＾)メ(＾?＾)ノ

When Lantian dragged his somewhat tired body back to the cabin, the night had already quietly covered the entire sky like a piece of black silk.

The last bit of sunset glow on the horizon gradually lost its luster as it was swallowed by the darkness, just like her complicated and somewhat heavy mood at the moment.

On the way back, she passed by the bustling snack street.

The streets were filled with the tempting aroma of various foods. There were sizzling grilled skewers emitting a unique aroma of cumin and chili peppers, steaming wontons rolling in the pot, emitting a fresh and fragrant aroma, and there were freshly fried sugar-roasted chestnuts, the sweet smell of which permeated the air.
