The following day, October 5th, in the evening.
"I'm sorry, Sister Xiao Lan."
Outside VIP ward 2015, Liuli looked at Huyan Lan Huyan Lan through the window, her heart heavy with sorrow. For the past two days, she had been working tirelessly to find a treatment plan that could control the disease without surgery.
But whether it was Huyan Lan's attending physician or the authoritative expert in the field of mental illness contacted through her family's connections, they all gave the same answer—"cerebral cortex removal surgery!"
Only surgery can save Huyan Lan's life; otherwise, when multiple mental illnesses erupt simultaneously, she will surely die.
At that moment, at the instruction of the attending physician, several strong female nurses filed into VIP ward 2015 and, without saying a word, began to Huyan Lan with restraint belts.
"What are you doing? Get out! Get out now!" Huyan Lan panicked and struggled desperately.
The attending physician remained calm and composed, as still as water.
"Ms. Huyan Lan, conservative treatment is no longer effective for your condition. We will arrange a 'cerebral cortex removal surgery' for you tonight. At that time, you will be free from the torment of mental illness and become a normal person."
"I don't want to have surgery! Let me go! Let the hell go!" Huyan Lan's eyes were bloodshot as she screamed and yelled out of control. Her arms and legs were already bound by leather straps, making her look like a shapely rice dumpling.
"What is this?" A thin nurse looked puzzled as she noticed the jewelry box hidden under the blanket. Just as she was about to reach out and touch it, Huyan Lan gritted his teeth and growled, "Don't touch it!"
The nurse shuddered in fright.
"When she has a delusional episode, she imagines a lover, and this thing is a 'token of love' given to her by her delusional lover," the plump nurse said while tightening the restraints. "Don't worry about it, just throw it away."
"Okay." The thin nurse touched the jewelry box!
"I told you not to touch her!"
Huyan Lan's forehead veins bulged, and with a muffled thud, she broke free of her restraints, immediately grabbed the jewelry box, opened it, and shoved it into her mouth. Her throat churned, and she swallowed the jewelry inside.
This scene completely terrified the female nurses.
"Such strength?" The attending physician, with his hands in his pockets, twitched as he looked at the broken leather belt. This leather restraint belt could even restrain a tiger, yet this woman, who weighed only ninety pounds, was able to break it.
"Doctor, she... she... she swallowed a foreign object."
"It's alright, give her an injection to induce vomiting during the surgery." The attending physician remained calm and methodically instructed, "Replace the restraints with steel chains."
"Okay, doctor."
In no time at all.
Huyan Lan was firmly bound to the hospital bed with steel chains and straps, and a mouthguard was put in her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide. The nurses pushed the hospital bed and followed the attending physician toward the operating room.
"I'm sorry, Sister Xiao Lan, I tried my best."
Watching Huyan Lan's departing figure, Liuli bit her lip, her heart aching slightly. Once Huyan Lan completed the cerebral cortex removal surgery, all of her memories from birth to the present would be lost, turning her into a "newborn" unable to take care of herself.
"What should I do now, senior?"
Liuli walked into ward 2015 and Xiang Yang, where rows of beautiful clothes of all kinds fluttered in the wind.
In my memory, Huyan Lan was a fiery and fierce woman, but unexpectedly, she was also very skillful and loved making clothes.
When the Clash of Kings, Huyan Lan personally made the Sovereign Dominion uniform. The golden color scheme was criticized by Yin Long, but it won the heart of his senior Su Hang, who loved it so much that he wore it all the time.
"Um?"
Liuli suddenly froze, noticing a golden jacket peeking out from the clothes rack on the balcony. She frowned and said, "Why does it look a bit like our Sovereign Dominion team uniform?"
Liuli strode onto the balcony, reached out and took the gold-colored jacket from the coat rack. The jacket bore the [ Sovereign Dominion Team ] logo on the chest. Her beautiful eyes widened instantly. "It's... it really is the Sovereign Dominion uniform!"
It's important to know that the Sovereign Dominion Team, which Zhou Keyu recently created, is still in its infancy and has not yet played any matches, so it doesn't have a standardized team uniform.
The appearance of the Sovereign Dominion team uniform can only mean one thing: Huyan Lan's memories may not have been erased, or rather, he may still have memories related to his predecessor Su Hang.
"Could it be that Sister Xiao Lan's memories weren't erased, but rather, like mine, she retained the memories of her senior Su Hang?"
A bold guess popped into Liuli's mind: Huyan Lan didn't have a mental illness at all; it was because she retained the memories of her predecessor Su Hang that her family, friends, and doctors treated her as mentally ill!
"It could also be a coincidence."
Liuli stared at Sovereign Dominion uniform, recalling what she had learned from the attending physician. Starting from September 1, 2025, Huyan Lan's mental illness had deteriorated rapidly. She wore a self-made monster suit and went around scaring people.
They even occupied the hospital attic to assert their dominance, preventing anyone from approaching freely, and stayed there all night, seemingly making something.
"Go to the attic!"
Considering Huyan Lan's past strange behavior and the Sovereign Dominion team uniform in her hand, Liuli felt that this was not a coincidence, and perhaps the answer was hidden in the hospital attic.
She dared not delay and quickly took the elevator to the top floor attic. The door was not locked. She pushed the door open and entered the cramped attic, where motion-activated lights on all four walls turned on.
" The Imperial Emperor Armor suit?"
Liuli's pupils contracted slightly. In the very center of the room stood a suit of Imperial Emperor Armor, identical to the Emperor Hero Armor Hero in both its metal material and details.
"Why is Sister Xiao Lan hiding in the attic making the Emperor Hero suit?" Liuli was lost in thought. In her memory, when her senior Su Hang turned 18, Huyan Lan had given him an Emperor Hero suit.
When her predecessor Su Hang rescued her across borders, he was wearing the Emperor Hero suit given to him by Huyan Lan.
There seems to be something behind me.
Liuli walked behind the Imperial Emperor leather suit, where there was a cone-shaped object covered by a red cloth, about 1.78 meters tall. Judging from its outline, it looked like a human-shaped statue.
"Lift it up and see what's inside."
Liuli's heart raced, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
She tremblingly reached out her little hand and ripped off the red cloth, revealing a mannequin dressed in a golden Royal Guard uniform, wearing an Emperor Hero Sovereign Dominion, and holding a bottle of sugar-free cola in its right hand.
"S-senpai!"
Liuli covered her mouth with both hands, her beautiful eyes filled with shock. Her mind exploded, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably. This exclusive team uniform, this Imperial Emperor mask, this iconic sugar-free cola—it was none other than her senior Su Hang!
" Sister Xiao Lan, like me, has retained the memories of our senior Su Hang. She doesn't have a mental illness at all!"
Liuli's small chest heaved violently, filled with a mixture of surprise and joy, but her expression quickly changed to one of shock, as Huyan Lan had already been wheeled into the operating room and was now preparing for a "cerebral cortex removal surgery."
"Spicy!"
