The sun rose and the morning light shone on Polly Joan’s old body. It was like he finally finished his last matter as he turned his wheelchair in a relieved manner in the direction of the laboratory, his eyes becoming more gentle.

Lu Feng didn’t look back.

Polly wondered, “He has woken up. Why aren’t you looking at him?”

There were some chaotic noises from the laboratory. A long time later, Lu Feng finally spoke.

“You once asked me what I thought of him.” Lu Feng’s voice came from a distance. “I thought about it a lot.”

In the long silence, golden sunlight flowed from the eastern mountains and a red sun leapt out of the sky. He closed his eyes in the wait. The statue of the waiting man, the portrait of the pilgrim, everyone looked like him. Everyone had shown this look the night before the trial.

He stated calmly, “He is the one who judges me.”

A door opened and gentle footsteps stopped not far away. On the top of the mountain, in the light and misty breeze, a clear and soft voice was heard.

“Lu Feng?”

CHAPTER 84

An Zhe sank into a dream.

He had such a dream long ago—the day he left Lu Feng.

Sometimes, when it was clear during the day and when he was awake, he would fall into the dream again. It was probably the hallucination of a dying man. He didn’t mention it to Polly. The coughing up blood, high fever and pain everywhere had already caused Polly too much worry.

In the dream, his body was divided into two halves, half at the Highland Research Institute and half in an unknown place with no pain and without the heavy human body.

In the dream, he had no eyes, no ears, no sense of smell and no human consciousness. It was like the feeling of being buried in the rain-soaked soil when he was born. Mushrooms had their own senses that couldn’t be described with the human language.

He knew that he wasn’t far from Lu Feng’s side. This must be a delusion after leaving Lu Feng but this didn’t prevent him from getting closer to Lu Feng in his dream.

The dream wasn’t always happy. Sometimes, he was placed in a closed container and accompanied by cold liquids. In the beginning, Dr Ji was next to him. Later, it was Polly and many people coming and going. He had nothing to do. If Lu Feng was next to him then he would wrap around Lu Feng. If Lu Feng wasn’t present, he would soak in the liquid and reflect on his life.
