Crazy Nezha

The very next second after Jiang Baiyue pressed the confirm button,

Li Tianbao felt weak electric currents flowing through the electrode pads, impacting him like a massage. It felt very comfortable, and his whole body relaxed, as if he were lying on a cloud. He fell asleep.

"Li Tianbao! Li Tianbao! Can you hear me?"

Jiang Baiyue called his name softly while looking at the laptop screen, which showed fluctuations in brainwave signals.

Li Tianbao, lying on the bed, spoke, "Where...am I?"

Li Tianbao opened his eyes and found himself lying on the beach. The sky was a clear blue, seabirds were flying, and a salty sea breeze was blowing. The feeling of realism was overwhelming.

Jiang Baiyue's shouts reached my ears.

"I...I can hear, where am I?"

Jiang Baiyue's voice rang out, filled with joy, "It's your subconscious, or to put it another way, you're in a dream."

"In a dream?"

"It's also called lucid dreaming. Tell me, what did you see?" Jiang Baiyue asked seriously. The previous patient couldn't hear any outside sounds after entering the dream. Li Tianbao is indeed special!

Li Tianbao lay on the beach, turned his head left and right, and said in a deep voice, "I'm at the beach, lying on the sand."

Li Tianbao, lying on the hotel bed, was also turning his head left and right, his eyes open, and speaking.

Jiang Baiyue frowned. Why was her body moving? Why was she showing signs of sleepwalking? "Don't move. Try to tell yourself that everything around you is fake, it's all a dream."

She curiously documented this phenomenon, which had never occurred before.

Li Tianbao sat up and stretched out one hand. Then he stood up.

Li Tianbao, who was on the hospital bed, sat up, and several of the electrode pads on his body fell off.

"Hey! Don't move!" Jiang Baiyue exclaimed in alarm.

He saw Li Tianbao standing on the bed, looking puzzled, pacing around. He stumbled and fell at the edge of the bed. Jiang Baiyue rushed over to help him, but it was too late.

Jiang Baiyue panicked because he saw that all the electrode pads had fallen off, and Li Tianbao seemed to be in a dream.

Jiang Baiyue called out, "Li Tianbao, Li Tianbao, wake up!"

Li Tianbao couldn't see the objects in the hotel room. He walked around the room and finally bumped into the door. He touched the door with his hand, like a blind person trying to find an obstacle in front of him.

Jiang Baiyue stood behind him, her eyes filled with surprise and curiosity, a mixture of fervor and obsession with scientific research. She put the phone she had taken out into her pocket and began to observe it patiently.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. His dreams and his body are synchronized; it's amazing.

Li Tianbao looked up, glanced around, and called out, "Jiang Baiyue, can you hear me?"

Jiang Baiyue: "I can hear you!"

Li Tianbao nodded: "That's amazing! What should I do next?"

Jiang Baiyue was completely dumbfounded. To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen anything like this.

……

On the beach, Li Tianbao pressed his hands against the invisible wall in front of him, tentatively touching it up and down. He felt the touch in his hands and finally touched the doorknob.

He realized that this must be the hotel door, but everything around him—the sea, the beach—was so real.

Li Tianbao shouted into the air, "This is amazing! What should I do next?"

"Speak up, Jiang Baiyue? I'm by the sea; the air here is wonderful."

Li Tianbao turned around and slowly walked forward. He tripped and felt something furry. He squatted down and stopped moving for fear of falling.

A dog's tongue licked my palm. "Harry, are you licking me?"

Howling Celestial Dog: "Third Master, are you sleepwalking!"

Li Tianbao gasped. "Wait, I wasn't lying in bed?"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Baiyue's voice came from behind, "Try to wake yourself up first."

Li Tianbao turned around and said to the beach behind him, "I'll try. Oh dear, I can't wake up. Damn, it seems like I can't get out of this dream."

"Jiang Baiyue, turn off the equipment and remove those electrode pads. Your technology is amazing!"

In the air beside her, Jiang Baiyue's voice trembled slightly, "Li Tianbao, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"what?"

Jiang Baiyue: "Bad news, the equipment has been turned off, and you're still not awake."

"What's the good news?"

"You have created a medical miracle, a phenomenon that has never been seen before."

On the beach, Li Tianbao remained calm. He stood up and examined himself. His eyes suddenly narrowed as he realized he was shirtless, wearing only tattered red pants, and barefoot.

He reached up to touch his head, feeling his hair standing on end, then touched his face.

"I really want to look in the mirror."

Li Tianbao pulled out a wad of red silk cloth from his waist.

The red silk cloth grew longer and longer in the wind, one end held in Li Tianbao's hand, the other end fluttering in the sea breeze.

"This is... the Universe Ring?"

"Is this...is this the real me? I am Nezha!"

Li Tianbao was shocked and stood there stunned.

……

Inside the hotel, Li Tianbao held his red undergarment, looking at it with a shocked expression.

Then, Li Tianbao waved the red undergarment in his hand and shouted like a madman, "I saw it! I saw everything!"

The celestial hound's eyes trembled with fear as it barked wildly, "Third Master, what did you see?"

"I really am Nezha!! Hahaha! I've become Nezha!"

Howling Celestial Dog: "Third Master, calm down. You haven't recovered your magic power yet, can't we keep a low profile?"

With the Universe Ring already out, how can I possibly keep a low profile?

Li Tianbao took a step forward following the sound, but tripped over the stool. He quickly got up and calmed down. He knew that he couldn't panic, especially at times like this.

On the beach, Li Tianbao, dragging the Hun Tian Ling in his hand, asked seriously, "Jiang Baiyue, please describe objectively what this thing in my hand is?"

Jiang Baiyue's face stiffened. "A red bellyband."

Li Tianbao's expression darkened. He sat down cross-legged, hung the Hun Tian Ling around his neck, and began practicing the meditation technique he had been using, entering his spiritual platform.

Jiang Baiyue shouted, "Li Tianbao, you're dreaming! Try to wake yourself up!!"

"Okay, no rush, I need to verify a hypothesis."

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Li Tianbao, following the method of cultivating stillness before, entered his spiritual platform with his consciousness. An unprecedented surge of powerful magic swept over him, and within his spiritual platform, the twelve-petaled lotus flower shone like the rising sun.

Holy crap! I'm here with full mana?!

Li Tianbao tried to use his mind to mobilize his magical power. The twelve petals shone brightly, and his magical power leaked out like a funnel, flowing away from the middle!

"Why is this happening? Why can't I use magic?"

Li Tianbao observed carefully and discovered that the center of the lotus flower, where the stamen should be, was empty. Any magical power gathered there would flow away. The lotus flower was missing its stamen?! Where was the stamen?! How could he cultivate a stamen?!

"Jiang Baiyue, how do I get out of this dream?"

"Don't move, stay seated, I'll reconnect the device."

Jiang Baiyue deftly attached the electric suction cups to Li Tianbao's body one by one, connected the equipment, and quickly typed on the keyboard.

Her expression was extremely serious as she stared at the screen, occasionally pressing keys on the keyboard, and slowly began to speak:

"Your brainwave patterns indicate that your superficial consciousness is dormant, while your deeper subconscious is fluctuating frequently."

She pressed a few more keys on the keyboard and then stated the result of her calculation: "Based on the current brainwave frequency trajectory, you will most likely recover to normal in 6 days, 23 hours and 42 minutes! However, this is only a conclusion drawn from data analysis, and the actual situation cannot be determined with 100% certainty."

After a moment of contemplation, the Celestial Hound barked, "The cycle will return in seven days. Yin and Yang will reverse. I will wake up in seven days. There's no mistake."

Li Tianbao stood up and pinched himself hard, wincing in pain. "Pain can't wake me up!"

Jiang Baiyue: "It's amazing! The consciousness can simultaneously control both the dream and real body. It's incredible! Li Tianbao, I'll take responsibility for you. I'll find a way!"

On the beach, Li Tianbao saw a half-human, half-fish monster emerge from the sea and rush towards him at high speed.

The next moment, Li Tianbao in the hotel seemed to be hit by something, fell backward, and rolled a few times on the ground.

Li Tianbao screamed, scrambled to his feet, waved the undergarment in his hand, and shouted, "Get out of here!!"

"What's wrong with you? What did you see in your dream?" Jiang Baiyue exclaimed.

On the beach, the half-human, half-fish monster opened its mouth wide, revealing a row of tiny teeth, its saliva thick and stringy.

Li Tianbao looked cautious. Although he knew it was a dream, the pain was still very real. He roared, "What are you?! A monster?"

The half-fish, half-human monster pounced again.

Li Tianbao nimbly dodged; though he had no magic power, his skills remained.

……

Inside the hotel, Jiang Baiyue and Xiaotian were pressed against the wall, their eyes trembling. Li Tianbao was in the room, dodging left and right as if fighting someone he couldn't see. The room was a complete mess.

A loud knocking sound came from the doorway.

A room manager called from outside the door: "Guest, do you need any assistance?"

"VIP, VIP!"

Jiang Baiyue's heart skipped a beat. What should she do?

"It's okay, it's okay. I was watching a movie, and the speakers broke."

The room manager outside sensed something was wrong. He pressed his ear against the door, listened for a moment, and then, with a serious expression, said, "Open the door!"

The cleaning staff next to me swiped their room cards.

Nourishes—

Upon opening the room door, the room manager looked bewildered.

Inside the room, a young man with his upper body bare stood on the TV cabinet, waving a red bellyband and shouting threats. The TV set had a large hole in it.

A short, shoulder-length, aloof woman and a husky stood shivering in the corner.

The room manager asked, "What's this??" Role-playing? S&M? And a dog?

Damn, rich people are really twisted.

The next moment, the young man came rushing towards the door, his eyes filled with rage, "You little devil! Where do you think you're going?!"

"Holy crap!!" The customer service manager was terrified and quickly backed away, with the corridor behind him, his body pressed against the wall.

Li Tianbao chased after him, almost nose to nose with the room manager, panting heavily with anger.

"You little devil, I'll fuck you to death!"

The room manager slowly slid down, pleading, "Brother, I'm just an employee, I don't sell my body..."

"Oh no." Jiang Baiyue, usually so calm and collected, rubbed her forehead with one hand, looking utterly bewildered, as if she'd been given a hot potato.

Li Tianbao calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Baiyue, a monster attacked me just now. I... I couldn't help it. Did I mess up the room?"

Jiang Baiyue's face stiffened: "I'll pay the compensation."

Xiaotian shook his head: "How are we going to get through these seven days?"
