My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Second Aunt Luo Yuqing has two daughters, one is Li Lanjun, and the other is Li Zhujun. Li Zhujun is young and is still in high school.

Li Zhujun disappeared inexplicably a month ago. Surveillance footage showed that she never left the school, but no one could find any trace of her there.

No one can be seen alive, and no body can be seen dead.

The reason I hadn't told Luo Hanying's family before was because Luo Hanying's condition wasn't very good, Luo Yubai wasn't around, and Duan Zhuoyun was naturally sentimental, so I didn't want to add to their worries.

Luo Hanying, holding her dizzy head, was about to speak when she heard a screeching sound of brakes and a crash from her phone. A few hurried words cut off this last communication.

Luo Hanying's ears were injured in the explosion, and her hearing was impaired. She used the loudest speakerphone when making phone calls, which Li Lanjun naturally heard clearly. She froze on the spot: "A car accident? They were in a car accident?"

Luo Hanying was shocked and tried to cheer herself up to comfort Li Lanjun, but then everything went black and she lost consciousness.

When Luo Hanying opened her eyes again, besides the caregiver, there was also her aunt Zhou Minsu.

Luo Hanying hummed a few times, and Zhou Minsu quickly walked over and sat down next to her: "Xiaoxue? How are you feeling?"

The doctor said Luo Hanying was not doing well; the emotional blow had caused her physical condition to deteriorate significantly.

"I'm fine, I'll be alright..." Luo Hanying felt unwell, and the agonizing pain made her want to die.

But she couldn't die; she had to live to see what was really going on, to see if God had rejected her and was in a hurry to reincarnate her.

"Where's my older cousin? Did she go home? How are my aunt, uncle, and second aunt? I remember they were supposed to come see me, but they hung up when I called..."

Looking at Zhou Minsu's evasive gaze and increasingly pained expression, Luo Hanying suddenly understood: "Something's happened."

Something happened! Something happened! What about them? How are they doing now?

Luo Hanying's voice was hoarse; her throat hurt a little, probably from tonsillitis.

Zhou Minsu had originally decided not to say anything, but Luo Hanying had already guessed what was going on, and if she kept it from her, it would only make Luo Hanying anxious.

After finishing their family matters, Luo Yuxia and Luo Yuqing agreed to come to the hospital to take care of Luo Hanying again. Although they had hired a caregiver, they could not completely relax.

After learning of his wife's arrangements, Luo Hanying's uncle, Yu Yanjin, planned to visit his niece together. The last time he saw Luo Hanying, she was still in a coma.

When Luo Hanying called Luo Yuqing, they happened to be at an intersection. It had snowed for the past few days, making the roads slippery. The driver was also driving while fatigued, which led to the chain-reaction car accident.

The fire caused by the car accident spread to the fuel tank, causing an explosion. Several people died despite rescue efforts.

Zhou Minsu said that Li Lanjun went to handle the funeral arrangements for Luo Yuqing and the others. Her cousin Yu Peiwen is currently unreachable and no one knows where he's gone off to. Li Lanjun and Luo Hanying's second uncle, Li Zhengqiong, need to figure out how to handle the funeral arrangements for Luo Yuxia and the rest of the family.

Luo Hanying clutched her chest, feeling increasingly unable to breathe. The caregiver pressed the nurse call button, and another group of people came to give her emergency care.

After Luo Hanying calmed down a bit, she saw her uncle Duan Zhuofeng and Zhou Minsu standing together, talking about something.

Luo Hanying's breathing was heavy; the physical pain and mental torment left her with no energy to deal with any possible events.

She was terrified that Duan Zhuofeng would bring more bad news.

She repeatedly asked herself and God whether what was happening was real and why she had to go through such a thing.

Why wasn't taking her parents' lives enough, and now they have to harm her relatives as well?

If all of this is true, what did she do wrong to deserve such punishment?

Why do people struggle with suffering throughout their lives? Why is that?

"Xiaoxue, my poor child." Duan Zhuofeng saw Luo Hanying wake up, walked over and gently patted Luo Hanying's head. "Uncle just finished dealing with things at home and came to see you."

You have to be strong, okay? Promise your uncle you won't abandon us like your mother did, okay?

Duan Zhuofeng and Zhou Minsu had no children, so they doted on Luo Hanying as their precious daughter. Although Luo Hanying grew up under everyone's watchful eyes, she was still Duan Zhuoyun's daughter. They were afraid that she would be like her mother and unable to bow to reality.

Luo Hanying nodded. She would not commit suicide. As long as she was alive, there was hope, and as long as she was alive, there were countless possibilities. Even if she had only one breath left, she would never give up.

Duan Zhuofeng and Luo Hanying met each other's resolute gazes.

He mustered all his courage to tell her about the arrangements for his sister and brother-in-law: "Your father and mother will be buried together, and they will be together in the mountains and rivers from now on. When you think about it this way, don't you feel that they are still happy?"

Take good care of yourself and don't throw a tantrum or refuse to take your medicine. Once you're fully recovered, your uncle and aunt will take you back to your hometown to see your grandparents, parents, and other family members, okay?

And your maternal grandparents, you haven't seen them in a long time either.

Luo Hanying sobbed as she agreed. She had never had a concrete understanding of her parents' departure until this moment. The thought that she would never see Luo Yubai and Duan Zhuoyun again, and that they would be sleeping together in a small box, made her deeply realize that she no longer had parents.

Although Luo Hanying lacked her father's company when she was young, she got along very well with her uncle's family, aunts, brothers and sisters. She grew up in love.

And now? How could such a drastic change have occurred? How could my family be torn apart and my loved ones killed? What about all those beautiful times before? Were they the only solace in my heart at the moment of death?

The doctor forbade Duan Zhuofeng and Zhou Minsu from disturbing Luo Hanying's rest too much, as it was they who had brought one bad news after another, causing her health to deteriorate.

As Luo Hanying listened to the sounds of the treatment equipment running in her ears, tears blurred the sunlight on the ceiling.

She couldn't find a way out amidst deep contradictions and pain.

"What should I do? What should I do... Am I going to die... Should I commit suicide...?"

How can I get out if I don't die... How can I leave this illusion if I don't die...?

...What if this place is real...What if everything before was just a dream...Then if I die, wouldn't I really be dead...?

She tried desperately to recall what had happened to her in the Canglan Realm, the phantom images of the two seniors she had seen before waking up here, and the sound of the konghou she had heard in the secret realm.

Suddenly, Luo Hanying's chaotic mind recalled her previous haphazard interpretations: "...to live towards death...since it is difficult to fully comprehend, it is better to fall into the void. Having understood the divine destiny, what is there to worry about in this body..."
