Chapter 1859: Talking to the Dead
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At around ten in the morning, Lin Yi woke up and called Qiao Xin immediately to ask about Li Chuhan.
Based on the results of the examination, Li Chuhan’s body had all but recovered completely.
However, she was still a little weak. If she walked for a long time, she would still experience chest tightness and shortness of breath.
However, this was only temporary. As long as she slowly recuperated and underwent a period of rehabilitation, there would be no lasting issues.
After calling Qiao Xin, Lin Yi got up and washed up before calling Ning Che. “Are you up? Let’s go eat.”
“Let’s talk about it at noon. We’re out shopping.”
“Huh? Shopping?”
“Everything has been arranged. All that’s left is to wait for the results, so 1 came out to shop.” Ning Che said.
“You’re awake?”
“Yeah.”
“Finish your breakfast yourself. I don’t have time to talk to you today.”
“Fine.”
After hanging up, Lin Yi went to the restaurant on the second floor to eat something before taking a taxi to the cemetery.
Lin Yi didn’t know what day it was today. Although there weren’t any kids flying kites outside, there were more people inside.
However, in a place like this, even if there were many people, it would not be as crowded as the mall.
However, he could only see a dozen or so people across the entire area.
Lin Yi wore a mask and a cap as he walked towards Zhou Liang’s tombstone. When he was young, Lin Yi had once visited a place like this. Because he was young, he didn’t feel anything even when visiting.
But now, the feeling was very different.
This seemed to be an isolated space. As long as someone stepped through the door, they would be enveloped in sadness.
Just like a person, no matter how happy they were, the moment they entered the door of the ICU, they would feel suppressed and find it difficult to control their emotions.
Even someone as strong as Lin Yi was no different.
Every time he came here, the events in Panem would be vivid in his mind.
The two of them went to the slums together…
After staying in the sewers for three days and three nights, he fled to Chepopur.
Everything seemed felt like it had happened yesterday, and it wouldn’t go away.
At the same time, those memories stabbed into his heart like a knife.
Until now, he had yet to overcome the hurdle in his heart.
Step by step, Lin Yi’s footsteps were slow and heavy. He walked for more than ten minutes before reaching Zhou Liang’s tombstone.
The chrysanthemums in front of Zhou Liang’s tombstone were arranged as high as a small mountain in sharp contrast to the other graves.
After all, the families of the other martyrs were considered ordinary compared to Zhou Liang.
The people who came to pay their respects were mostly doing so with nothing but their sincerity. They would not be like rich people like them who would arrange so many formalities.
These were two different lifestyles, and one could not simply judge who was right and who was wrong.
Lin Yi walked past the other tombstones and sat cross-legged on the ground. The people around them were puzzled by this way of paying their respects. This was not an ordinary cemetery. It was the first time they had seen such a person in such a solemn place.
However, this person’s eyes were quite good-looking. The young girl who was paying her respects thought to herself.
Lin Yi didn’t care about the strange gazes of the others. He took out the wine he bought and placed it in front of the tombstone.
Then, Lin Yi lit a cigarette for Zhou Liang and put it together with the wine.
“Do you have enough money to spend down there? I’ll burn some for you when
I have time.”
Lin Yi took a sip of wine and poured another bottle into the ground.
“What alcohol tolerance do you have now? Drink more.”
Lin Yi cursed to himself like a fool, then fell to the ground again.
It was as if the wine that seeped into the ground could be drunk by Zhou Liang. The people who were paying their respects at the side were shocked when they saw Lin Yi’s strange appearance. They felt that this person was a little abnormal.
He seemed to be mentally ill, so they hurriedly ended their own mourning and left.
“What’s wrong with that person? Is he mentally unstable?”
The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman. When Lin Yi was paying his respects to Zhou Liang, she was standing in front of another tombstone a few meters away.
The person buried below was her nephew.
However, because of Lin Yi, she ended the funeral in a hurry. She felt a little dissatisfied.
“Maybe he’s too sad. Let’s go,” the young girl said.
She could tell from Lin Yi’s eyes that he was a handsome man, so she said a few good words.
If it were someone else who was ugly, they would definitely not receive such treatment. However, her mother did not feel this way.
“It wasn’t easy for me to get a day off. I thought of coming over to clean up, but
1 haven’t finished yet.” The middle-aged woman complained.
“I have to talk to the administrator about this. Such a solemn place is no different from a graveyard after what he did.”
“There’s no need to be so overboard, right? I’m still off tomorrow. I’ll help clean up for my brother. Don’t pursue such a small matter.”
“How can that be? I am his aunt and haven’t been here for over a year and want to look at him a bit more,” the middle-aged woman said, wiping her tears. “Alright, I won’t interfere then.”
Then, they walked away, heading to find the administrator.
Lin Yi, standing in front of the tombstone, was unaware of the conversation between the mother and daughter, continuing to speak to himself.
“Your drinking capacity is impressive. You finished a whole bottle and didn’t even get drunk. That’s what I expect from a member of Team 1.”
He opened another bottle and placed it in front of Zhou Liang’s tombstone. “No more dilly-dallying, let’s continue drinking.”
During this time, not only the mother and daughter but others passing by also noticed Lin Yi’s peculiar behavior.
Instinctively, they avoided him, assuming that the man might not be mentally stable.
Lin Yi lit another cigarette and then lit one for Zhou Liang’s tombstone as well. “It seems your family is having some issues. I’ll help you sort it out first.” “But don’t worry, I will definitely avenge you.”
“Daring to mess with someone from our team, this won’t end here! Damn it…”
“Excuse me, sir…”
As Lin Yi was muttering to the tombstone, he felt someone tap on his shoulder.
Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man in a uniform.
He had a name tag on his chest, indicating he was a staff member of the cemetery.
Interestingly, behind the staff member were several ordinary people holding items, seemingly also here to pay their respects to relatives.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Yi asked.
The middle-aged man looked troubled and asked tentatively, “Young man, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. I came to talk to my brother. What’s wrong?”
The middle-aged man shivered and looked uneasy. Brother, how am I supposed to respond to that answer?!
