Inside the operating room.
Lying on the operating table, Huyan Lan stared at the operating light, a clear, faceless male figure appearing in her mind—her first love, [ Su Hang ].
After the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor on August 31, Su Hang disappeared completely, while she inexplicably appeared at White Emperor Hospital, becoming a mental patient suffering from mental illness for ten years, and her past life memories were also altered.
Not only were the lives of her friends and family rewritten, but all memories of Su Hang were also completely erased, as if some force wanted to erase Su Hang's existence from the world.
"Even though I resist with my biological instinct of absolute loyalty to you, I am still affected to some extent." On the operating table, Huyan Lan's eyes flashed with sadness.
She remembered fighting Su Hang more than two hundred times in the mountains, joining Su Hang's newly created Sovereign Dominion Team to fight against Clash of Kings, and also remembered going to Kyoto, Japan with Su Hang to rescue Liuli...
She remembered every little detail of her time with Su Hang, but she had completely forgotten [ Su Hang's face].
I can't remember your face.
Huyan Lan's fingertips trembled. She remembered Su Hang's height, weight, and measurements Qingqing, but she just couldn't recall his face no matter what.
She made countless mannequins of Su Hang in the hospital attic and tried to depict Su Hang's face, but the Su Hang in her memory was the [Faceless Man], and she couldn't depict him at all.
They could only deceive themselves by putting the Emperor Hero mask on Su Hang and hypnotizing themselves into believing that Su Hang looked exactly like the Emperor Hero.
" Su Hang, the Shadow Beasts have all appeared, why don't you, as the Emperor Hero, show up to subdue me?"
Huyan Lan's eyes reddened slightly. Ten years ago, when she first met Su Hang, she was wearing a Shadow Beasts suit. He mistook her for a real Shadow Beasts and attacked her while wearing an Imperial Emperor mask.
So, during this time, she wore the Shadow Beasts suit and went around scaring people in the hospital, hoping to meet Su Hang again in his masked form, Emperor Hero, through this childish and cringeworthy method.
However, that didn't happen.
" Su Hang, everyone says I'm delusional, that you're a lover I've imagined, but I'm absolutely not delusional. The token of love you gave me ten years ago is proof of that."
Feeling the Diamond object in her stomach, Huyan Lan gradually calmed down. It was a gift from Imperial Emperor when she was in the Imperial Crown Team, when she and Imperial Emperor were bound to a romantic relationship and she swore absolute loyalty to Imperial Emperor.
She wore a pair of DR brand heart-shaped Diamond earrings for ten years, carrying them with her wherever she went and not letting anyone touch them, not even her close sister, Huyan Ya.
"I clearly noticed your unusual behavior the night Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor, but I just assumed you wanted to process your emotions and be alone. If I had chased after you then, you definitely wouldn't have disappeared."
Huyan Lan was filled with endless regret.
On August 31st, Su Hang did not attend the award ceremony Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor. Instead, while everyone was immersed in joy, he quietly left the arena and disappeared without a trace.
"The anesthesiologist administers the anesthetic."
The doctor's voice came through my ear.
A transparent anesthetic mask descended from the sky. Huyan Lan's beautiful eyes widened as she struggled violently. She understood very well that once the cerebral cortex removal surgery was completed, all her past memories would be erased, and she would forget Su Hang forever!
"Relax, you'll fall asleep in 20 seconds."
As the anesthetic gas was slowly injected, Huyan Lan was initially able to resist with her survival instincts, but gradually her body became unresponsive, drowsiness crept in, and her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, blinking more and more slowly.
"Someone forced their way into the operating room!"
"Who are you? You're committing a crime!"
Ah~
The screams of doctors echoed in her ears. In her dying moments, Huyan Lan saw a beautiful figure wearing Emperor Hero mask. Her eyelids closed heavily, and she murmured, "Is it you? Su Hang."
Huyan Lan was woken up by noise, or more precisely, by someone calling her.
" Sister Xiao Lan, wake up, wake up quickly."
Huyan Lan slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a delicate and beautiful anxious face. She recognized the person; it was [ Yugong Liuli ], who had just registered her marriage with her lover Su Hang.
"Thank God, you're finally awake." Liuli's eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
Where am I?
Huyan Lan sat up in bed, feeling extremely dizzy; clearly, the anesthesia hadn't completely worn off. "Did I have a cerebral cortex removal surgery?"
"This is the resort villa [ Imperial Fortress ] on Imperial Crown Island." Liuli hurriedly brought over a glass of water, her face full of joy. " Sister Xiao Lan, thankfully, someone came to our rescue, and the surgery couldn't be performed."
"Someone saved me?"
Huyan Lan took the water. She remembered that after the anesthesia was administered in the operating room, in her fading consciousness, she vaguely saw a figure wearing an Emperor Hero mask. She didn't know if it was a hallucination.
"We still don't know who saved you," Liuli said, wiping away tears, her heart filled with joy. "But it's so good that you're alright."
Huyan Lan was about to drink some plain water, her stomach suddenly churned violently. She hurriedly stretched her neck to the side and vomited violently. With two clattering sounds, two sparkling heart-shaped diamond pendants fell to the ground.
"This is..."
"Don't fucking touch it!"
Huyan Lan roared with red eyes and threw the water glass.
With a snap, the water glass shattered into countless pieces at the foot of the Liuli.
"This is a token of love that your senior gave you when you became a couple in the game 'King of Glory,' right?" Liuli bent down to pick up the heart-shaped diamond pendant, wiped it clean with a wet wipe, and said gently, "No wonder Sister Xiao Lan Xiaolan treasures it so much."
Huyan Lan froze, the madness in her eyes gradually fading, her fingertips trembling slightly as she said, "You... what do you mean?"
" Sister Xiao Lan, I remember Senior Su Hang, I remember everything about Senior Su Hang." Liuli tilted her head, golden tears streaming down her face, and smiled radiantly, "You are not alone."
"You... you remember Su Hang too?" For some reason, Huyan Lan's eyes suddenly reddened. "Impossible, you must be like those people who think I'm mentally ill, deliberately lying to me, right?"
"You're not mentally ill; it's not you who's sick, it's the world!" Liuli raised her right hand, the gold ring on her ring finger gleaming. "The twelve gemstones on it have been removed and appraised."
"The... the Imperial Ring?" Huyan Lan's voice trembled. It was a gift that the core members of their Imperial Crown had raised money to give to Su Hang. There was only one in the world. Even without the gemstones, she could still recognize it by the ring itself.
" Liuli, do you have a photo of Su Hang?"
"After my senior disappeared, all the photos vanished, including our wedding certificate photo." Liuli took out a photo from her bag. "However, I found a portrait artist to draw a portrait of my senior based on my memory of him."
Huyan Lan hurriedly reached out and took the photo, looking down at it.
I was stunned for a moment.
