"Where is my head?"

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

Upon hearing Li Huowang's question, Li Sui thought that Li Huowang was asking himself and quickly replied, "Dad, I know. It fell on the ground when we were in the city. Should we go back and pick it up?"

Li Sui's words seemed to drain the last bit of life from Li Huowang. His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

"Dad? Dad, what's wrong with you?" Li Sui worriedly nudged Li Huowang's body with his tentacles, but there was no response. He didn't understand why his dad wasn't moving.

Was it because he didn't have a head? But his dad didn't have a head before either, and he still ran such a long way. It shouldn't be because he doesn't have a head.

Just then, Li Sui suddenly noticed that the little toy his dad had given him was moving.

Using his tentacles, he took out the small leather doll, and it grew rapidly in size, soon reaching the height of a person. It had Li Huowang's face, but its body was flat, only a thin layer of skin.

This flat and light Li Huowang instinctively crawled to the ground and forcefully sucked on the shadow next to his own corpse.

As the shadow was sucked into his stomach, the skin bag inflated rapidly like it was being filled with air. After a while, Li Huowang, with a head and naked body, appeared next to his own corpse.

Looking at the headless body on the ground, Li Huowang, who had escaped death, took a deep breath with lingering fear.

When his head fell off, he was blind and didn't see who took his head. It was most likely the resurrected official from the Monitoring Bureau.

The Monitoring Bureau indeed had a backup plan. If he didn't have this magical tool for self-defense, he would have been in real trouble.

"The next time I face the Monitoring Bureau, I must be extremely cautious. Their methods are too strange and dangerous. If I'm careless, they can easily kill me."

Just as Li Huowang was thinking about these things, everything around him began to tremble. He guessed that the people from the Monitoring Bureau were ambushing him, and suddenly everything turned into a bleak white color.

Li Huowang, wearing two layers of restraining clothes, lay quietly on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the unlit white energy-saving lamp above his head. "I'm back again."

Li Huowang belatedly realized what was happening. He had returned to this false world because he had borrowed someone else's body to revive himself, but Li Sui was still inside his previous body. Without it suppressing the illusions, this false world appeared again as expected.

"Li Sui, Li Sui," Li Huowang mumbled with a muffled voice, his words unclear. "Quick, come into my stomach and help me go back."

After Li Huowang finished speaking, he immediately lifted his head and opened his mouth as wide as possible, blocking it with a cloth.

The camera in the upper left corner of the ward, flashing red light, immediately turned towards Li Huowang, who was bound to the bed.

Whether it was because he couldn't speak clearly with his mouth blocked, Li Sui didn't bring him back to reality.

"Li Sui! Stop dawdling, hurry up!" Seeing no response, Li Huowang became anxious.

He knew that he not only didn't have Li Sui in his stomach right now, but he also didn't have the black spinning hammer. If he attracted anyone's attention at this moment, his true identity would be exposed!

A "clang" sound rang out as the door of the ward was pushed open.

When Sun Xiaoqin, holding a food tray, walked in and saw Li Huowang staring at her intently, tears of excitement welled up in her eyes.

"Son, son, are you awake? You're finally awake, right?" Sun Xiaoqin rushed over, cradling Li Huowang's head and examining him closely.

After Sun Xiaoqin removed the cloth from Li Huowang's mouth, he was about to pretend to be crazy and confused, but when he saw the worried expression on her face, the words in his mouth were stuck and he couldn't say anything.

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you can recognize people, it means your condition is gradually improving. You will get better one day. Come, let's eat. Let's eat first." Sun Xiaoqin wiped away her tears and picked up the food tray from the ground, holding it in her arms.

The four-layered food tray was opened layer by layer, with one meat dish, one vegetable dish, one soup, and one main dish.

Using a short-handled plastic spoon, she first picked up half a spoonful of white rice and dipped it in the egg soup, then picked up a piece of pork belly and brought it to Li Huowang's mouth.

Looking at the thing in front of him that he didn't know in the real world, Li Huowang opened his mouth and let the spoon enter.

"Good boy, my son is the best. Mom knows that you always open your mouth to eat at this time. Compared to the other patients in the ward, my son is much easier to take care of."

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Li Huowang asked, "Mom, how did you come in?"

Upon hearing Li Huowang finally responding, Sun Xiaoqin immediately bit her lower lip. But she was afraid of scaring her son again, so she forced herself to remain calm and said, "This place is called a hospital, but it's actually a prison. The food here is very bad, and I was afraid you wouldn't eat well, so I came to take care of you."

"Originally, it's not allowed according to the rules, but the warden is quite easy to talk to. As soon as I said that my son is the best when he's with me, he immediately agreed. There are still good people in this world."

Li Huowang nodded silently and opened his mouth again to eat the food. But just as he took a few bites, he saw Sun Xiaoqin acting strangely, looking around left and right.

She took out a small handful of rice from the main dish and walked to the nearby hollow with a fine mesh, using the rice grains to block the listening device.

Following that, Sun Xiaoqin sat back down by the bed, whispering into Li Huowang's ear in the softest voice, "Son, if I'm not by your side the next time you wake up, and anyone asks you about the gold, just say it's your grandmother's dowry! Do you hear me?"

"If it really comes to it, you can just keep your mouth shut and not discuss it. Never ever say that you took the gold from under your blanket! People nowadays are all bad! Never ever say it!"

Li Huowang wore a helpless smile on his face, "Mom, did you spend the gold?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, child! That's your grandmother's dowry! We can't touch it unless it's absolutely necessary!"

"Don't worry, this place is government land. It won't cost much, your dad can still earn it."

"Mom, I gave you the gold, just spend it, don't save it. After all, it's all an illusion, I can have as much gold as I want—"

At this point, Li Huowang froze, looking at his mother again. A terrifying question suddenly popped into his mind.

In the past, he always thought this world was fake, because he could bring gold and jade pendants from the real world, and many too coincidental and abrupt things happened here.

But if what Zhuge Yuan said before was correct, that the Heart Element truly had the ability to make the fake real and create something out of nothing, then was there a possibility that those pieces of gold and those sudden incidents were changed by his unintentional use of the Heart Element's power?

Or to put it another way, was there a possibility that this real world could also be real?
