Chapter 105 - Come To Human Realm

"A-FENG!"

"A-Feng, please endure, Son!" Mom shouted.

For some reason, Mama's voice seemed to give me strength again.

"Keep calling me that, Mom!" I said quietly.

"A-Feng, you're Mama's son, right? You're a strong man, aren't you? So keep your eyes open, Son!"

I heard Mama's voice sobbing.

"I'm fine, Mom. As long as I'm with you, I'll be fine."

I tried my best to make my voice sound smooth. But, this doesn't seem to be able to reduce Mama's worries right now..

"Mom?" call me, quietly.

"Yeah. What's wrong, A-Feng? Mama's here, Son." Mama said

"You know what? I've loved you ever since I first saw you, Mom. And that won't change forever."

My mother's cries became clearer after hearing my words.

"I'm sorry, A-Feng! I don't deserve your affection. I've been mean to you, Son." Mom said.

Mom stroked my cheek gently. Seriously, this is the first time Mama has done this to me.

"I've forgiven everything, before Mama even said this. So forget it all, Mama!"

Mama's cries are getting louder. Mama sobbed as she kissed my cheek, forehead and hair.

I feel very comfortable in Mama's arms. I want time to stop right now.

"Mama?" I called Mama back.

"Yeah, what's wrong, A-Feng? Say whatever you want, Son!"

"I'm tired, can I sleep for a bit?" I asked, quietly.

Mom shook her head.

"Please, don't close your eyes, A-Feng! Do you have the heart to make me have no one to talk to in the middle of the forest like this, huh?" Mom grumbled, looking annoyed.

A moment later, Mama smiled crookedly. I know that smile is fake. Mama just wanted to strengthen me.

I smiled back at Mama.

"Mom...?" call me again, for the umpteenth time. Normally, Mama would get mad if I called her like this. But now Mama always answers whenever I call. So, I was very happy to call Mama.

"Hmm?"

"Does Mama know the reason why I didn't go back to my birth mother?" I said. As time went on, my voice became more and more quivering and soft, hopefully Mama doesn't notice this.

"Is it because of money, A-Feng?" Mom said, looking annoyed. But, I know that anger is just a lie.

"Hahaha, it's not like that, Mom. At least, Mama Wang never threw me out of the house like Haruhi's mother did." I spoke softly.

After hearing what I said, Mama's crying grew louder. She was sobbing, and I didn't like seeing Mama cry like this.

I tried to reach Mama's pretty face. I rubbed the clear beads that fell from Mama's eyelids, slowly. I want to wipe Mama's tears.

"Don't cry, Mom! I'm still here, I'm not dead," I said which immediately made Mama kiss the top of my hair again.

"Okay, I have a guess. Do you want to answer that?" I tried to hide all this pain again.

"Guess what, Son?"

"If all the citizens of Beijing and the state apparatus change professions to become bus drivers, then what will be the bus driver?" I asked.

For a moment, I saw Mama silent as if in thought. Hahaha, does this sound ridiculous, Ma? But, I don't want to keep you worrying about me, Ma.

"Hmm, maybe become president." Mom answered.

"Hahaha, what answer is that, Ma?" I said. After that, I had a strange feeling.

Cough!! Cough!!

I reflexively covered my mouth when I suddenly coughed loudly. When I looked at my palm, there was a warm liquid there.

Blood? Am I vomiting blood? I'm sure that I'm the one who vomited this blood, it had nothing to do with the gunshot wounds to my shoulder and leg earlier.

I immediately hid the blood on my palm from Mama. And luckily mom didn't have time to see when I coughed up blood.

"That's right, isn't it? If everyone became a bus driver, the real bus driver would be president, right?" Mom guessed again.

"Wrong answer from mom!" I said again.

Mama seemed to be frowning and waiting for an answer from me.

"The answer is, the bus driver becomes a lot." My voice trembled even more violently from the chill that pierced my bones.

"Hahaha, what the hell are you, A-Feng," Mama's laugh echoed, breaking the silence of the night.

I'm so happy to see Mama like this. Mom ruffled my hair. My head is still in Mama's lap.

"AAARRGGGHH!!" I groaned in pain while writhing.

I can't take this pain anymore.

My body shook violently, and moved without my will. I felt my mother holding me tighter. But, I can't look okay right now. My body reacts.

"A-Feng, stop it, Honey! Don't be like this! Calm down, My Son!" Mama screams which I can still hear faintly.

I can't control it. His body moved on its own. I had a seizure and I didn't know what caused it and how to control my own body. My body shook violently and everything felt stiff.

My breath was getting heavy and painful. My chest is in excruciating pain. My body is shaking violently and shivering.

The cold was so piercing to the bone. I can even hear the sound of my teeth chattering.

I blinked. For a moment my vision went dark, but I could control my vision.

Faintly, I could hear Mama's wailing wailing. Mom kept chanting my name.

But, a moment later the voice disappeared and my ears were ringing. My eyes felt heavy, I couldn't open them anymore. I went into the darkness and I don't know how long I can get out of this dark place.

***

Vincent Greyrat walked down the path, which had weeds on its right and left. His long silver hair fluttered in the wind.

Vin's steps are so sure, treading every inch of snowy land. Vin gets a hint from the Dream King Vassilias.

The King of Dreams said that one of the descendants of the owner of pure and holy blood is still alive in the Human World. That's what makes Vin determined to find the owner of the 'holy and pure blood'.

Vin's long footsteps stopped near two tombstones made of quite large black stones.

From the date of birth and date of death, Vin can conclude that these two tombstones are the graves of father and daughter.

So, if these two pure and holy blood owners had passed away, then it was possible that their surviving descendants who were referred to as 'pure and holy blood possessors' were left.

But, how can Vin find and recognize him? In fact, Vin felt alien in this Human Realm. Although the land here is like the city of Gefroren covered in white snow.

There was a chrysanthemum flower and a bottle of wine on top of the two graves.

Did that 'holy and pure blood possessor' just come here? Vincent Greyrat thought.

***

Today was the 20th day after such a stifling incident for Zhang Yushen.

How come? Yushen had to witness for himself his little brother, whom Yushen had been protecting with all his life, lying helpless. And that too was because of Yushen's fault. Yushen should always carry his cell phone with him wherever he goes. So, Yushen would know when Sifeng asked for help.

Yushen was so sorry that he felt he had contributed to Sifeng's misfortune.

Yushen still vividly remembers the time when he found his brother slumped under the heavy rain at night.

The rancid smell of Sifeng's blood also seemed to still be smelled by Yushen's sense of smell. Yushen found Sifeng lying on a pool of blood.

(flashback_on)

It was a dark night, Yushen was in a village on the slopes of the Changbai Mountains. Yushen visited the graves of his mother and grandfather. Yushen left his cell phone in the car.

After Yushen returned to the car, he reached for his smartphone and found that there were already dozens of missed calls from Zhang Sifeng. And Yushen got a short message from Sifeng.

[Gege, for the umpteenth time I need your help. I'm currently in the vicinity of Narin Gol Valley at the moment. An area in the Kunlun Mountains in Qinghai province. I'm fine, Yushen Ge.]

The sentence 'alright' made Yushen aghast. Yushen deeply understood the true meaning of that sentence.

The phrase 'alright' meant that something painful was happening to Sifeng. Yushen understood his brother's character very well. Zhang Sifeng often uttered the opposite meaning of the actual meaning.

Hurriedly, Yushen headed to the location Sifeng pointed out using the two Jade Bracelets of the Gods, both of which happened to be with Yushen at the time.

A second later, Zhang Yushen had already reached the location. Yushen tracked Sifeng's whereabouts via GPS from Sifeng's cell phone at the time.

Zhang Yushen entered the deepest forest. Walk through the thickets and jump over the big roots sticking out of the ground.

The road was still watery because it had just rained so heavily, it seemed. It's still drizzling at the moment.
