Chapter 284 (1/2)

Miracle District (1)

Ye Lang had another theory, but this theory had nothing to do with any modern science…

His theory was that the girl was a soul living in his body. He wasn’t supposed to be in this world, not supposed to have this body so this body was supposed to belong to the girl.

It was very possible that Ye Lang’s soul had taken the girl’s body and merged with it. And because of Ye Lang’s soul, the foetus destined to be male had developed into a female instead…

That seemed too far of a stretch though…

Perhaps the girl was like him, both of the souls were not supposed to exist. However, their souls arrived at this body at the same time so now Ye Lang controls the body and she only exists in the dreamscape.

Of course, this was only a few speculations Ye Lang had when he was bored, they might not be true. It may or may not be true, but he thought there wasn’t much of a need to dwell on the matter. He didn’t care. He liked having someone to talk to in his dreams anyway.

And the girl disappeared whenever he woke up anyway, so she didn’t affect his life in any way!

Take this moment as an example. Once Ye Lang woke up, he’d quickly forgotten about the girl and stared into space for a moment. Very soon, he heard a shout.

“Mr Ye is awake!!”

There were many people guarding him. There weren’t only the original refugees, but also Sheng City’s doctors, and that man who called himself Pope Eden who went from a shady preacher to the most prized experiment during the epidemic.

Pope Eden wasn’t there to take revenge. Even if he wanted to, the Sacred Teachings would let him- and the hundred thousand people outside wouldn’t either.

And with his wit, why would he want to take revenge now? That would only endanger his position and ruin his reputation among the people.

That would just be stupid. Right now, all he had to do was to thank Ye Lang for everything he’d done for the people.

“Thank me? I punched you, then infected you with the plague and you’re thanking me? You’re insane!” exclaimed Ye Lang, confused, when the pope thanked him. He thought the pope was there to take revenge too, he didn’t expect this at all.

Everyone wanted to laugh when they saw Ye Lang’s reaction but kept it in due to Pope Eden’s position.

“...That was a misunderstanding. I understand now, I deserved that punch and I was infected so everyone could be saved. This is what I wanted all along. If I can help everyone, even death would be worth it!” said the pope passionately.

“Yep, your death would be worth it!” nodded Ye Lang in agreement.

“...” Everyone fell silent. Did this mean Ye Lang didn’t actually have confidence in keeping the pope alive?

“I trusted that you could save everyone, I truly believed you’d save me!” smiled the pope as if he did believe in Ye Lang. Only his slightly clenched fists gave him away. He was actually on the verge of punching someone.

Ye Lang stared at him with a weird look, “I do trust myself, but I can never guarantee successful treatment. Why would YOU believe me?”

“...” The pope was speechless for a moment, then looked up at the skies (more like at the low, ugly ceiling). The ceiling still didn’t stop his awe for the heavens…
