4355: The Other Side 324

The Other Side 324

Alice had once said that no matter what happened to him in the dream, he was the main personality and could never be destroyed! Perhaps for that reason, he became fearless and emboldened.1

He braced himself against the wall, lifted his feet a little to take a step, and listened carefully for an echo.

There was none.

That reassured him. He ventured out again, and began to walk.

However, before long, the strange footsteps returned and overlapped with his own.

The boy could tell that the sound was coming from behind him. He pretended to walk calmly. Then he turned abruptly and looked behind him!

In the distance, a shadow flashed past the end of the corridor. Clearly, the shadow was also highly alert. After sensing his discovery, it had quickly ducked into a room along the corridor.

The door to that ward did not open, so the dark figure seemed to press himself against it, deliberately curling himself up.

Suddenly, Youyou's limbs went cold. This person… was obviously following him. But what was his purpose of following him?

Youyou took half a step back, suspecting the identity of the shadowy figure.

Could it be… Gong Fan?

The boy cautiously called out, "Gong… Fan?!"

Nothing happened for a while. He stared in that direction as he slowly backed away, trying to lure him out. As he moved, the dark figure heard his footsteps and seemed to think that he had left, so it reappeared.

Youyou saw the shadow appearing slowly at the end of the long corridor. Despite the distance, he could feel the figure's eyes meet his. He could not see the figure's face clearly, but he could tell that the dark figure was also slightly startled.

"Gong Fan, is that you?" He spoke a little louder.

The dark figure paused, slowed a little, and walked towards him.

Could it really be Gong Fan? Nervously, the boy started toward him. Halfway there, however, he felt the shadow quicken its pace.

That's not right…! He was not Gong Fan! Gong Fan was about the same height as him, but this dark figure was rather tall!

From what he could see, the boy guessed that the shadowy figure was a grown man, perhaps more than six feet tall! How could Gong Fan be so tall!? He was not Gong Fan. Who was he then?

The boy suddenly remembered the dangerous personality Professor Romanka had mentioned. Could this be him?

Oh no! Could this be another personality?

The boy took a few steps back, then realized the shadow had quickened its pace and was heading in his direction. Not good, he thought, then he turned around and started running!

As he hastened his pace, the shadow behind him increased its pace too. Instantly, the boy broke out in a cold sweat. Barely daring to look back, he strode out and ran, not knowing where he was heading.

And now, the huge hospital had become the battlefield for this chase. In the immense space, he hardly had time to consider where the exit might be. Seeing that the door to a room was open, he rushed in without thinking and turned around to lock the door.

He nervously leaned back against the wall, listening to the approaching footsteps. Immediately, it seemed to stop as it came up to the door, as though it was trying to make a decision.

The boy held his breath in fear that it would break in!
