Chapter 272: Infinite Flow: Saving the Mad Beauty 31

When he opened his eyes again, it was already the real world.

Jin Chen rubbed his neck and got up from the sofa, recalling the original owner's memories; this should be his home.

【Host, how do you know that the fifteen-year-old him is Little Pitiful One's heart demon?】

0731 was very curious; it had almost thought earlier that both of them had been affected by the Shen Yuan Meng Jing.

【The status is wrong; he is too fearful of this node.】

【I see! By the way, Host, the mental hospital where Little Pitiful One stays is also in this city.】

He responded, fell silent for a few seconds when passing the mirror, then turned back to the bedroom to take a shower and change clothes.

——

Nanyu woke up amidst the noise.

His eyelashes fluttered slightly, he gradually opened his eyes, and only felt a clamor beside his ears.

"Bed 7 is awake!"

Someone was shouting loudly.

There were chaotic footsteps.

There was a harsh smell of disinfectant.

Nanyu sat up abruptly, turned his head and saw the needle tube on the back of his hand; his eyes flashed with obvious rejection.

"Bed 7, you finally woke up."

The director in a white coat approached, relaxed expression, "If you don't wake up soon, we'll have to transfer you to the hospital."

"Where... is this?"

Nanyu asked in a hoarse voice.

"This is the x City Mental Rehabilitation Center; you don't remember?"

The director flipped through his medical records, brows furrowed, "It might be a short-term memory retention after you were agitated once and then fell back into deep sleep."

"Mental rehabilitation center." He repeated after him.

——"Don't be trapped by your heart demon, wake up."

——"I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting outside for you; wake up, and I'll find you."

"Jin Chen..."

In an instant, all thoughts returned.

Nanyu regained his expression, somewhat urgently reaching out to the director, "I'm awake, remove the needle."

"That's fine; since you're awake, no need for the nutrient drip."

The director put down the notebook, sat down to help Nanyu remove the IV needle, "This time you woke up with much better mood; previously you always needed sedatives to stay calm."

Nanyu gave a noncommittal lip twitch, recalling those nightmares.

He never expected that Jin Chen would actually help him solve, one by one, the nightmares that had plagued him since childhood, at each node, and even... discover the heart demon that had trapped him deep inside.

He wanted to see Jin Chen more and more, right now.

"Done yet?" Nanyu urged, his tone beginning to grow anxious.

"It's done, but why do you look like you're about to leave?"

The director shook his head, "You can't leave the hospital now."

"I don't care about you."

Nanyu moved his wrist, then immediately got up and ran out the door.

His movement was so fast that even the director didn't have time to react.

"Hey! Nanyu!"

The director thought he had relapsed again, and hurriedly called for people to stop him.

He hadn't forgotten that this person was a high-level dangerous individual, and when he was brought in, he was still escorted by two special forces teams!

"Come quickly! Bed 7 on the top floor has run away again!"

For a moment, all the idle doctors and nurses on the top floor turned pale with shock and chased after the direction Nanyu fled, even the security guards with electric batons were dispatched.

Nanyu realized this, his speed increased further, and without taking the elevator, he ran down twelve floors straight.

He had just woken up, a time when his body was somewhat weak; although his face didn't flush and his heart didn't race when he ran down, he could feel his legs beginning to go soft.

But when he reached the lobby, Nanyu suddenly froze in place.

People came and went around him, and noisy sounds filled the air.

He didn't know where Jin Chen was.

He didn't even know whether Jin Chen was in this city, and he had left no contact information.

Usually, Nanyu would choose to enter the instance selection area to find someone.

But he feared that if he entered the game, Jin Chen wouldn't be able to find him in reality.

"Bed 7 Nanyu! Where are you going?!"

The security guards came after him, each exhausted, yet still dared not relax their vigilance, raising their electric batons and trying to rush over to surround him.

Nanyu irritably gritted his teeth, turned sideways to face them, his phoenix eyes sharp, "What the hell are you guys doing?"

"There's no order from above; you still can't leave."

The director also came down panting, hands on hips, shouting for people.

"Quick! Bring him back!"

"Oh wow, you want to catch me?"

Nanyu gave a hehe smile, his expression turning cold, "You can try."

Just as the atmosphere was extremely tense, on the verge of breaking out.

A tall figure walked from outside the hall.

"A-Nan."

He froze, turned in disbelief, and bumped into Jin Chen's smiling eyes.

Jin Chen held a bouquet of roses in one hand, opened his arms, and said, "I've come to pick you up."

"Jin Chen..."

Nanyu's eyes reddened, yet he laughed and flung himself into his arms.

The two clung tightly to each other in the hall.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +10! Total 100!】

"How did you know where I am?"

Nanyu's voice choked as he leaned into Jin Chen's embrace, relaxing his body, filled with longing.

"Because I promised I would come find you."

Jin Chen chuckled lightly, rubbed the back of Nanyu's neck, and said, "Be good, don't be afraid."

"I wasn't afraid at all."

Nanyu snorted, embraced his arm, glared at the Director, and spoke righteously.

"The higher-ups said I had no family, so I could only stay hospitalized for treatment; now that I have family, can I be discharged?"

"Family?" The Director scratched his head, clearly remembering that this person's family had all been killed by him himself.

"Hello, I am Nanyu's family."

Jin Chen gathered all the documents, even had 0731 prepare a certificate, the contents of which were enough to let Nanyu leave the psychiatric clinic safely and smoothly.

"I've come to handle Nanyu's discharge procedures."

"This..."

The Director sighed, "I need to go talk to the Dean and the higher-ups to confirm that Nanyu's discharge poses no danger; please wait a moment."

Jin Chen agreed, and together with Nanyu, followed the Director upstairs.

The security guards and the onlookers could only disperse, leaving behind gossip for after-tea chatter.

As expected, the discharge procedures went smoothly.

Having truly left the psychiatric hospital, Nanyu beamed, bright and radiant, clinging tightly to Jin Chen's arm and refusing to let go.

"Where are we going now?"

"To my house; I've got the next game session in four days, so there's time to relax properly," Jin Chen replied.

Nanyu lifted his phoenix eyes, suddenly tiptoed, and offered a kiss.

"I'm really looking forward to the days ahead."

"Me too."

Jin Chen leaned in, wrapped his arms around the waist, and deepened the kiss.
