"Great Mr. Chen Yu, having been successfully elected as the leader of the human race last night, do you have anything you'd like to say to the whole world?" Chen Yu got out of bed, bewildered and still undressed, "I don't know, I just woke up...” …
Time.
Just like watching a favorite film,
it ended swiftly without the need for fast-forward.
By the time Chen Yu steadied himself against the wall and walked out of the siheyuan, the sky had already begun to darken.
Turning back,
he glanced at the "bottomless" backyard, feeling mentally exhausted, fastened his belt, and headed out of the sacred temple.
"Is the treatment over?"
The pallid man appeared before Chen Yu like a specter, blocking his path, "Why did it take so long?"
Chen Yu stopped, caught his breath, and explained, "Had to get several injections. It delayed things a bit."
"Is that so," the pale man stared at Chen Yu, slowly nodding before asking, "Are you coming back tomorrow?"
"Not coming back!" Chen Yu flatly refused, "Even if you kill me, I won't come back."
"So, you mean the treatment is complete?" the pale man squinted, "Then I'll report back to Her Highness the Princess and settle your task."
