Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 171 - Strayed One

When Dan Yangzi came back to his senses, he saw that his left arm had regrown.

He tried to move, but found himself strapped to a metallic bed. His limbs were being tied down by leather straps. He couldn’t move an inch.

Seeing this, he tried muttering some chants to use his supernatural powers, but none of them worked.

Given the situation, he was no different from a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.

Dan Yangzi felt humiliated.

Ever since he started murdering people at the age of ten, he had never found himself in such a situation.

“Who’s there?! Who is trying to use illusory tricks on me?!” Dan Yangzi howled at the woman in front of him. He was unfamiliar with the place.

“I don’t care who you are, just you wait! Once my main body arrives, all of you will die!” Dan Yangzi growled.

His outburst visibly shook the woman in front of him, causing her to run out while shouting, “Doctor! Doctor, come quick! Something’s wrong with my son!”

While she was gone, Dan Yangzi tried to escape his restraints, but it was no use. After a while, he calmed down and surveyed his surroundings.

“The Sitting Oblivion Dao! Maybe it’s them! There might have been more than six of them and now they are attacking me from the dark!”

After some time, Dan Yangzi saw the woman walking in with two men in white.

Three people? They have restrained me and yet haven’t done anything to me. What is their goal?

While he was thinking, one of the doctors asked ‘Li Huowang’.

“Xiao Li, look carefully. Who is she?” asked the doctor wearing a pair of round frame glasses while pointing at Sun Xiaoqin.

Dan Yangzi calmed down. “Talk. Who sent you over? Since when did you start following me just so you can stop me from achieving Immortality?”

The doctor was not surprised by this response and just nodded calmly before writing something down on his tablet.

“Do you still remember your name?” asked the doctor.

At this point, Dan Yangzi decided to change his strategy a little and said seriously, “Zephyr Temple, Temple Master Dan Yangzi. You tied me up when you don’t even know who I am? Which sect are you from? I’ve lived for almost half a century and traveled across the lands. I’ve met many people. It’s even possible that your elders were my friends at some point in time. Let me go and help me achieve Immortality. If you do, then I will reward all of you handsomely.”

Hearing his response, Sun Xiaoqin panicked. “Son, what are you talking about? You are not Dan Yangzi. You are Li Huowang!”

“Li Huowang?” Dan Yangzi’s eyes were filled with doubt before he shook his head. “No! There’s no Li Huowang! There’s only Dan Yangzi! Li Huowang was nothing more than a part of my Three Corpses!”

Sun Xiaoqin wanted to say something but was stopped by the doctor. “Madam Sun, please calm down. Let us finish questioning him first.”

Sun Xiaoqin gripped her bag and nodded before retreating to a corner of the room, her heart burdened with anxiety.

On the other hand, the two doctors talked to each other and discussed a strategy. Once done, they decided that one of them would question Li Huowang while the other would note down his responses.

The doctor asking the questions sat on a stool beside Li Huowang. “Dan Yangzi, let me ask you a question? What is one plus one?”

Dan Yangzi was confused by the purpose of the question. What was this man in white trying to do? But he was more than happy to entertain him. After all, as long as his main body returned, it would be his win.

And so, both of them began to probe the other, neither of them getting the answer they wanted.

As he watched this interaction, the doctor recording their exchange was confused. “That’s strange. Why is he suddenly exhibiting a new symptom after his illness had been stable for so long? Madam Sun, did your son receive any stimulus from the outside world?”

“No! My son is still very good! He even talked to us during his birthday,” replied Sun Xiaoqin truthfully.

The doctor thought about it and suggested, “We should transfer him. Your son’s internal fistula has been resolved and he can now defecate normally. We can transfer him to a normal psychiatric hospital. The doctors there are much more skilled in treating cases like this. Don’t worry, we will record all his symptoms in his medical history and will not delay his treatment in the slightest.”

“But how can we transfer him when he’s like this?” worried Sun Xiaoqin.

“Don’t worry. It’s not unheard of for an illness to rebound. Please give your son some time. I will give your son some Risperidone and Olanzapine. Nothing will happen to him while we are transferring him,” explained the doctor.

Soon, Dan Yangzi saw two burly men approach his bed before wheeling him outside.

“Where are you taking me? Put me down! I will kill all of you when I become an Immortal!” shouted Dan Yangzi.

Hearing this, the nurses scoffed at him, causing Sun Xiaoqin to be upset.

“What are you laughing at?! My son is a patient! Do you think it’s funny to laugh at a patient?” shouted Sun Xiaoqin.

Then, she placed her hand on Li Huowang’s face and gently caressed it. “Don’t be afraid, son. I am here. No one can bully you while I am here.”

At that moment, Dan Yangzi was stunned. The soft feeling on his face and the earnest gaze of the woman in front of him unlocked a distant memory within him. Gradually, Sun Xiaoqin’s face grew hazy before being superimposed on an unfamiliar face.

Dan Yangzi trembled. “Mother?”

Just as he uttered that word, his surroundings crumbled. The white walls all around him quickly disappeared and he was once again in the cave filled with the stench of blood.

“This... This... What is happening?” Dan Yangzi stared at his surroundings warily. He had seen many bizarre things in his life, but nothing as crazy as today!

After a moment, Dan Yangzi took his sword and carefully inspected everything around him.

“Where is my main body? Why is it not here yet?”

At this point, Dan Yangzi started panicking. Even though everything looked normal right now, the hallucination from just now was definitely not something a normal human could induce!

The one who had trapped him in that hallucination was definitely someone very strong!

“Master...”

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out from behind him, causing all the hair on his body to stand on end.
