　　"Mr. Li, I believe you owe us an explanation." Inside the intensive care ward of the hospital, Li Yiming was being questioned by the National Security agent - it took a lot of self-restraint for him to keep his voice low and stop himself from yelling at Li Yiming.

　　He now bitterly regretted not following Li Yiming to the sauna center against the orders of his superiors. Had he been present, chances are that it would not have turned into a bloodbath. It did not take long before the city's police came to look for an explanation, especially given that they had just taken over a local station before the incident occurred.

　　Although the last year had been rife with paranormal incidents which had to be covered up from the public eye, the thirty or so witnesses that Li Yiming left behind made it extremely difficult to keep the lid on the affair, and mounting public pressure only increased the chances of a disaster.

　　"What did your superiors tell you?" Li Yiming was unsure how to answer the agent, as he himself did not quite understand how he could have lost control of himself fighting against a small group of mobsters. He had suspected a Heart Trial at first, but immediately dismissed the possibility, as he recalled being completely aware of what was going on. Simply losing control of his body was vastly different from the drunken fuzziness of his memories after being taken over by a Heart Trial.

　　"My superiors…" The young agent was speechless. As unbelievable as it was, his superiors had told him to do nothing at all. The only orders he received since the incident was to "wait until Lin Lu recovered."

　　"I need to know what happened back there… If you really…" The young agent was not about to give up, as he had a feeling that Li Yiming had the answers which could explain many of the paranormal incidents that had transpired over the last year.

　　"I'm sorry, but the patient's awake." The door to the room was opened as the head nurse interrupted the two, all while avoiding looking at her two guests in the eyes. As the head nurse, she was exceptionally well-versed in profiling. On top of that, she knew from the non-disclosure act she signed the day before that she most definitely did not want to become entangled with Lin Lu, who clearly had an exceptional background based on the number of bodyguards she was able to hire.

　　"Why don't you go have a look." Li Yiming sighed and turned toward the hallway.

　　"You…" The young agent was clearly vexed, but he was in no position to force Li Yiming to confess.

　　The two agents stationed at the front door thought about stopping Li Yiming from exiting the hospital, but they did not dare to intervene. After all, if the information they received was accurate, two men armed with conventional firearms was far too little to restrict Li Yiming's freedom.

　　As Li Yiming looked up at the azure sky, he took out the half-pack of cigarettes he had kept from a long while back, reminiscing the time he met Mr. Kong for the first time.

　　"Mr. Li… I've lost the tablets…" Chen Quan suddenly came running, having rushed back to the small convenience store to pick up what he had left there.

　　"You've checked?"

　　Chen Quan nodded with a grave countenance, very bitter about the lead breaking off when he was so close to finding out the truth.
