From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

In the early morning, sunlight shone through the blinds onto Li Yi's face. Li Yi's tightly closed eyes quickly opened, and a flash of white light appeared inside.

He stared quietly at the ceiling, and after a night, he keenly felt something flowing in his blood.

It was a living thing, incredibly tiny yet perfectly unified, an incredible form of life.

A virus.

As his thoughts raced faster, more and more memories surfaced in Li Yi's mind, and the world that Li Yueyou considered to be a deep delusion gained more detail.

On the contrary, in this world, the memories of her together began to show some flaws.

I know this woman, but when exactly did we start dating?

This detail was the first thing that made Li Yi suspicious.

The more Li Yi thought about it, the calmer his expression became.

Da da da.

Li Yueyou's footsteps sounded here; she was carrying a plastic plate with a simple breakfast on it.

A fried dough stick, a bowl of soy milk, and a peeled egg.

The faint scent caught Li Yi's attention.

"How are you? How are you feeling? Let's have breakfast first, I'll feed you."

Li Yueyou said affectionately, then quickly sat down beside her and shook the handle to raise the front half of the hospital bed where Li Yi was.

While eating, Li Yi, who had been very calm, suddenly said something.

"You know what? I can go a year without eating and not starve to death."

Upon hearing this, Li Yueyou's wrist stiffened, and the spoon fell to the ground.

She stared intently at Li Yi for a moment, her expression suddenly turning sorrowful. "Are you still thinking about that non-existent world? Are you really going to completely abandon me? Our relationship..."

As she spoke, she was on the verge of tears, but Li Yi still stared at her intently.

He scrutinized Li Yueyou with a unique gaze, no matter what she did.

After a long pause, Li Yueyou suddenly calmed down. Her eyes were red, but her determination was unwavering. "No matter what, I will heal you!"

After breakfast, it was time to take my medicine.

It was another handful of eyeball-shaped pills, each one unique and lifelike, exuding a sense of the bizarre.

But Li Yi pretended not to know and ate them, remaining perfectly calm.

This time, Li Yi clearly felt those subtle things flowing and lingering within his body, trying to take over everything about him.

However, once this attempt is made, they will die one after another, with only a few managing to survive.

At night, Li Yi quietly closed his eyes, his expression serene.

He had the upper hand, taking his time, and although he was still confused, his instincts told him that he would find everything and know everything.

This momentum is unstoppable.

Da da da~

Footsteps sounded again. In the darkness, Li Yi opened his eyes and saw Li Yueyou, half of her body illuminated by the moonlight.

"What is it?"

He asked calmly.

Li Yueyou didn't answer, but said to herself, "I know you imagined a lot of things in that world, but they are all false, like that white python."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's pupils contracted slightly.

As she spoke, Li Yueyou took off her white coat, revealing everything underneath.

Her figure is truly flawless; with the added height of high heels, she exceeds 1.8 meters, especially her perfectly curved legs.

Tonight she wore super short shorts and black high heels, showing off her perfect curves.

"When you imagined the white python, it was just the early stage of delusional disorder. At that time, you were still imagining it based on reality."

At this point, Li Yueyou suddenly took out two leg rings with a hint of shyness and put them on in front of Li Yi one by one.

The two leg rings are inlaid with two round gemstones, one red and one blue, which emit a mysterious light, like two eyes.

"You used to enjoy this kind of... fun, which is why you fantasized about the white python."

She explained slowly.

Then, Li Yueyou walked up to Li Yi and looked at him earnestly with her beautiful eyes.

After a while, she continued, "Do you remember how we met?"

Li Yi shook his head.

"After graduating from university, I contracted a harmless genetic disease that caused my eyes to change color. We met in the hospital."

As she spoke, Li Yueyou slowly reached her hand toward her pupils.

"At that time, you hadn't been diagnosed with mental illness yet; you just occasionally had splitting headaches. I was still an intern, trying to figure out how to solve my own problems."

She removed the colored contact lens from her right eye, and the original black pupil disappeared, replaced by a dark green, jewel-like crocodile eye.

The pupil, now reduced to a tiny dot, looked quite terrifying, yet in Li Yi's eyes, it seemed incredibly endearing.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yueyou removed the colored contact lens from her left eye, revealing a yellow sapphire-like eye.

"The two crocodile companions you met in that world were both from me."

"I am your true love. All your fantasies about your partner come from me. Do you remember?"

As she spoke, Li Yueyou gently stroked Li Yi's cheek. His yellow and green eyes looked rather strange, yet they were full of affection.

"Stop dwelling on your own world, come back. I really can't live without you."

As she spoke, two lines of tears streamed down Li Yueyou's face, running down her fair and flawless cheeks.

Unexpectedly, Li Yi said something completely nonsensical with utmost seriousness: "Crocodiles don't shed tears, like me."

Upon hearing this, Li Yueyou's eyes twitched, then she covered her face and wept, turning and running away.

She seemed to have fallen to the ground as soon as she left the ward, letting out a soft "ouch".

Then Li Yi continued, "Even crocodiles don't fall down, just like me."

Everything quieted down, leaving only the moonlight shining on Li Yi's face.

Li Yi seemed very familiar with this faint moonlight, and as it shone upon him, a certain color change appeared in his eyes.

Just as he was enjoying the moment, the blinds suddenly closed, and darkness completely enveloped the area.

"hehe."

Li Yi smiled faintly; he already had a feeling that this place was fake.

And he had absolute faith in himself, and no faith in anything else.

He always felt that he was the one who pioneered this world, the true master.

However, if he were to say this out loud, no one would care, since he is a patient with severe paranoia.

In the stillness of the night, Li Yi finally closed his eyes slowly.

In the silence, an eyeball suddenly grew out of the round light bulb above Li Yi's head, round and staring at him.

Then, many different eyes grew on the walls, the ground, and even the straitjacket, spinning around and chattering.
