27 On The Way (1/2)

The first thing that Hua Yan did when he came to was to check his hands.

What confronted him was by no means a welcome discovery. His palms were still fresh with blood, though the bleeding had stopped some time in the not too distant past.

The reason why he was displeased with these findings, and even somewhat terrified by what he saw, was not because he was scared of blood or anything like that.

If Hua Yan were really someone that was afraid of bodily wounds, he would never have opted to do a labour job for around 16 hours a day in a field of employment where it wouldn't be rare for body parts, especially hands, to get injured. Hua Yan was quite used to injuring himself.

A few cuts and grazes, and even fractured bones perhaps, were not things that were new to him. He could take all of this without blinking. Consequently, he was rather indifferent towards wounds and whatnot.

What made him panic this time though, was not the wounds themselves, but what the wounds signified. Their implications were so frighteningly terrifying that they had nearly given Hua Yan a literal heart attack.

It wasn't a dream like he had initially thought it was! It wasn't an illusion like he so desperately wished for it to be!

He never thought a day like this would come where he would feel bad because he hadn't been deceived. He wanted all of this to be fake. He wanted this to be nothing more than a sick joke that he would never have to think about again!

He was actually only a few breaths away from stabbing the very person who he lived to protect…

He had almost committed his life's greatest mistake, and he was totally powerless to do anything about it.

Even as it all unfolded before his eyes, he was nothing more than a bystander in his own body! He couldn't do a thing. He was absolutely useless…

As his depressing thoughts began to sink in and consume him, Frenzy had awoken.

Frenzy seemed to be doing something that Hua Yan couldn't quite put a finger on. It was tempering with his thoughts and memories, altering his very subconscious itself.

Of course, it didn't mess with Hua Yan's core principles, as that would have turned Hua Yan into nothing more than a bumbling idiot, but it did change the details regarding minute and seemingly trivial events.

If it were just one or two of these incidents that were altered, perhaps no visible change would have taken place in Hua Yan's conscience. But since Frenzy was taking quantitative to a whole new level, there were bound to be qualitative changes in Hua Yan as well.

With time, the flames that lit up Hua Yan's madness grew brighter, completely engulfing his self-attacking, despondent thoughts in their wake. At the peak of their intensity, Hua Yan was even influenced to throw his arms into the air and laugh.
