VOLUME 9 CHAPTER 8: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS THE AWAKENING OF LIU BEI (1)

Liu Bei POV

I slowly opened my tightly shut eyes as I felt the warmth of sunlight coming in from the window. When I looked up, I saw a pale white ceiling with a rather dirty 3-blade fan hanging motionlessly from it.

Is this… A hospital?

It took all of my cognitive power and a good deal of time before I was able to recognise what the red cross sign and the various contraptions nearby meant.

Then what I went through before, everything I saw, what was all that?

Was it… A dream?

I seemed to have seen a dream of sorts. A dream where I found myself in the Three Kingdoms era and took the place of the virtuous Liu Bei. That seemed a little too realistic for a dream though. In comparison to what I saw in the dream, what I’m seeing before me now feels less like reality.

Ah… What a long dream… Now that I think about it, it feels like a year has pa.s.sed.

But why am I in a hospital? Could it be that I met with a car accident of sorts just like in the tv serials? Or perhaps I came down with something.

So why was I out for so long?

*Giiyaa*

The door was pushed open and I was a little slow to react as I was still in a daze.

When I looked over, I saw a nurse who was wearing a mask pus.h.i.+ng in a trolley from the outside. Thereafter, another 2 nurses came in as well.

Of the 3, the figure of the nurse who was the first to come in was the best and was elegant to boot too. The other 2 behind weren’t bad either. In fact, I must say that the quality of nurses in this hospital is perhaps the highest I’ve ever seen. In my impression, nurses are typically 40 year old aunties.

“How is your condition?” She asked before she made it to my side.

“Ah… Un, I’m fine.” I was still in a daze but I nodded as I felt that I was alright. At the very least, I haven’t lost my memories at all and I remember my parents’ names, my own name, age and other experiences.

“What’s your name?”

“Ah, I’m Liu Bei Liu Xuan De.”

Wu! I got a shock from the words that came out of my mouth and hurriedly covered my mouth. When I looked up at the 3 frowning nurses, I did my best to show an expression of shock and disbelief at what I just said.

As for the nurses, they first frowned at what I said before smiling. Even though they were wearing masks, I could still clearly see that they were smiling.

“You said you were Liu Bei? Hahaha.” The nurse at the front said as she laughed and then looked at the other 2 who chimed in as well.

“If you’re Liu Bei, then I’m Lu Bu~”

“Yes, yes and I’m Zhao Yun too~”

When I heard their laughter, I felt terrible and wanted to find a hole and bury myself.

“Never mind, we’ll just do our job and stop making fun of you.” The nurse at the front said as she pulled the cover off the trolley, showing layers and layers of pill bottles, “Come, it’s time for your medicine.”

“This is…”

I can’t identify any of these pills at all nor what they are supposed to do. In the first place, I don’t even know what I’ve contracted or how I came to be here.

“Umm, can you first tell me what I have contracted?”

“You?” She said and looked at me for a moment before telling me in a somewhat melancholic tone, “You have delusional disorder and you have to stay here and receive treatment.”

Eh? Delusional disorder? Only after repeating it in my head over and over did I understand what that meant.

“Have I…

Got some sort of mental disease?”

“If you have to put it that way, yes.” The nurse nodded and grabbed some pills.

“Come, open up.” Another nurse said as she grabbed my chin and yanked open my mouth in one swift motion.

Uwaa~~ Just then terror struck me and the more I looked at the 3 nurses, the more sinister they seemed and I began flailing about.

“Uwaa!!”

“d.a.m.n you! Stop thras.h.i.+ng about!” The nurse yelled as she stuffed the pills into my mouth

Wu!

In the next instant, I felt like my mouth was completely filled up.

“Don’t be so hasty, there’s more~”

Wu!!
