The Strange Jiang Hao

Uchiha Kei numbly allowed the little girl to lead him as they followed the ambulance to the hospital.

Only after Jiang Hao, covered in blood, was taken into the operating room did Uchiha Kei's mind begin to recover slightly.

"They can't see me, so why can you?"

The surrounding medical staff ignored Uchiha Kei, but the little girl chatted and laughed with him.

"They are human, so they can't see you."

The little girl returned his smile with a sweet one, which complemented the beautiful flowers in her hand.

"So, you're not human?"

Uchiha Kei accurately grasped the problem in the little girl's words.

The little girl tilted her head, a puzzled look on her face. "I didn't say I was a person."

Uchiha Kei wanted to ask more questions, but the operating room door opened.

Uchiha Kei hurriedly stepped forward, anxiously waiting for Jiang Hao to be pushed out.

"Don't worry, you're not dead yet."

The little girl saw his anxious look and innocently comforted him.

Uchiha Kei suddenly turned around.

Was he concerned with whether someone was dead or not?

It would have been better if he had died; his soul transmigrated to the Naruto World and became the current Uchiha Kei.

All he needs to do is find out the little girl's identity.

If he's not dead...

So who is Jiang Hao now?

Who is he?

Soon, Jiang Hao was wheeled out of the operating room.

His face was still covered in blood, but his breathing had become steady.

He's really not dead!

Uchiha Kei's heart skipped a beat, and his doubts deepened.

Amidst the doubt, there was also a deep sense of fear.

He now feels like he's in a deep vortex.

From the car accident to time travel, and now witnessing what happened after his "death."

All of this seemed like an invisible hand pushing him forward.

He was like a puppet on strings, completely manipulated by that large hand!

Uchiha Kei followed Jiang Hao closely until he entered the monitoring ward.

The little girl didn't leave; she stayed right beside him.

While Uchiha Kei wasn't paying attention, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Two days later.

For the past two days, Uchiha Kei has been in the hospital room, staring blankly at the unconscious Jiang Hao.

My thoughts are a jumbled mess, I can't make sense of them.

The little girl didn't leave; she stayed right beside him, never leaving his side.

The little girl took out a lollipop from her cute crossbody bag and happily ate it.

Uchiha Kei was already used to it.

Let alone a lollipop, even if she pulled out a Gatling gun that spews blue flames, he would only smile slightly and say, "That's nice."

In the past two days, he noticed that the little girl had taken a lot of things out of that crossbody bag.

A giant sword painted with strange, ghostly patterns.

A shriveled head with half-open eyes.

Half of an enormous, dark doorway, hacked to pieces.

The Japanese cover of <The Divine King's Chronicle>...

The scattered bits and pieces of information had gradually numbed Uchiha Kei.

At first, he would ask in surprise what it was, and the little girl would patiently explain her answer to him.

Toy!

Yes...

These things, which seemed incredibly strange to him, were all just little girls' toys.

In two days, he also learned the little girl's name.

It's quirky, but also very pleasant to listen to.

A-Yi.

There is no surname, only this one name.

A-Yi was completely unguarded around him; she answered every question Uchiha Kei asked, but...

"A-Yi, are you from this world?"

"Of course."

"So, are you from the Naruto World?"

"Too!"

"..."

"A-Yi, are you a god?"

"Gods? The kind that glows and tastes delicious?"

"..."

After some questioning, Uchiha Kei was completely defeated.

It wasn't that he didn't want to ask any more questions, but rather that A-Yi's answer was rather irrelevant.

Like a naive little girl...

That afternoon.

"You're about to wake up."

A-Yi held a strangely shaped fruit in his hand and took a big bite.

"Am I... about to wake up?"

Uchiha Kei was puzzled at first, but then he understood.

Rushing into the ward, Uchiha Kei intently at Jiang Hao on the bed.

As expected, Jiang Hao's face was still pale, but his eyes had begun to move slowly.

"Hey, hey, hey, can you see me?"

Uchiha Kei excitedly waved the object in front of his eyes.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hao, like everyone else, treated him like he didn't exist.

Soon, the nurses making their rounds discovered Jiang Hao's condition.

Before long, a large number of doctors poured into the ward.

After the examination, all the doctors looked surprised.

"To have survived is truly amazing."

"Isn't brain death a true death? How could someone come back to life?"

"It might just be a temporary brain abnormality; thankfully, his family didn't give up."

Uchiha Kei, standing in the crowd, was taken aback upon hearing this.

Family?

Where did he get his family?

Having grown up in an orphanage since childhood, how could he be found by his family on his deathbed?

What a joke!

While Uchiha Kei was still puzzled, Jiang Hao, lying on the hospital bed, spoke with difficulty.

"Run... run fast... the world... is doomed!"

The doctors stopped their discussion and looked at Jiang Hao on the hospital bed with a strange expression.

A doctor was wheeled forward and examined him.

"There's nothing unusual, except for some weakness; all the data are normal."

After the doctor finished the examination, he spoke to the remaining doctors.

"That means the car accident caused some psychological trauma."

"Post-traumatic stress disorder is very normal."

"Prescribe some sedatives, and have a psychological test done after you've recovered a bit more."

The doctors discussed among themselves, gave a few instructions to the nurses, and then left the ward one after another.

"No... don't go, believe... believe me..."

Jiang Hao's already pale face looked even more desperate after the doctor left.

Uchiha Kei stared blankly at him, his mind racing.

Is the world going to end?

Is he really stupid from the hit-and-run?

"Yes, yes, I believe you, I believe you. I'm going to get on Noah's Ark right now to escape."

The nurse nodded perfunctorily, gave him the injection, and left.

"Nobody... nobody believes I... will regret it!"

Jiang Hao lay there listlessly, his eyes devoid of any expression.

"It's still early, don't worry."

After finishing the fruit, A-Yi leisurely walked to his bedside.

"It's getting late... it's getting late A-Yi, it'll be here soon."

Uchiha Kei's pupils suddenly contracted.

A-Yi!

Jiang Hao just called out...

It's A-Yi!

He actually knows A-Yi!

How is that possible!

When the car accident happened, his soul was still Jiang Hao, and he clearly remembered that there was no such person A-Yi in his memory!

After waking up from the car accident, Jiang Hao surprisingly knew about A-Yi?

A-Yi glanced at the shocked Uchiha Kei, "Don't worry, he'll be back soon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao's expression relaxed, but he still looked somewhat dejected.

"If I come back... can coming back stop that from happening?"

Jiang Hao's tone was still filled with despair.

"Probably, who knows?"

A-Yi shrugged indifferently.

Uchiha Kei leaned close to A-Yi's face. "A-Yi, how does he know you? Is the 'him' you're talking about me?"

For the first time, A-Yi chose to ignore his question.

"I'm asking you, A-Yi, answer me!"

Uchiha Kei felt like he was going crazy.

My mind was a complete mess, filled with the conversation between Jiang Hao and A-Yi.

No matter how he asked, A-Yi remained silent.

Uchiha Kei relentlessly pressed for answers until a woman entered the ward.
