Chapter 88-2: Pull Him Back (2)

Monsters Are Coming

One day later.

Pei Yun returned to the hospital and received the evaluation and compatibility report.

Seeing the words ‘Compatibility Successful’ at the bottom, a faint smile appeared on Pei Yun’s face.

Entering the hospital room, he saw his mother still lying unconscious.

Sitting beside her pale, exhausted face, memories of everything she had endured to raise him filled Pei Yun’s mind.

In his eyes, there was no need for grand words to describe her. Just two words were enough: truly great.

He remembered how, during a high fever in his childhood, his mother once sat by his bedside and said.

“Everyone in this world has a light that illuminates them. In my eyes, you are that light. You must grow up healthy.”

And to him, the mother who carried the family on her shoulders was that very light.

In his memories, every dawn began with his mother already busy, only resting late at night. Even after returning home, she would still tutor him, like a tireless machine giving everything she had.

Despite the advanced medical technology of the present day, his mother never treated minor injuries or illnesses, always enduring them just to save money and give him the best.

For his sake, she poured her entire heart and soul into raising him, dividing her time into countless fragments, each one carrying her love.

She taught him, through her actions, what responsibility and sacrifice truly meant.

As these memories played like a slideshow in his mind, Pei Yun never once regretted his decision.

Twenty years ago, his mother gave him life.

Twenty years later, he would give his mother new life.

His only regret was that he would no longer be able to accompany her in the future.

The child who had been cared for all his life was now unable to fulfill the duty of caring for his mother in her old age.

Unconsciously, his eyes reddened.

Half an hour later, Pei Yun stood up and left the hospital room.

In the coming days, he needed to adjust his daily routine and diet to reduce the burden on his kidneys and prepare for the upcoming surgery.

[Can someone tell me where Brother Darkness went?]

Posted by: Tornado

Content:

Recently, while in the test tower, I came up with a Star Vein combination that I think has great potential. After testing it myself, it seems pretty good, so I wanted to ask Brother Darkness for his opinion and suggestions. But I discovered that the usually super active Brother Darkness hasn’t shown up at all.

I’ve tried tagging him many times, but unlike before, where he always replied quickly, he hasn’t responded for three days.

So, does anyone know where Brother Darkness went? Any updates?

Comments:

Raging Chicken: You’re right. Brother Darkness hasn’t posted in days. Normally, he floods the forum with daily guide posts. I kinda miss him already.

Is This a Beaver?: I believe the mysterious disappearance of forum king Brother Darkness should raise concerns.

In today’s society, we often hear of strange incidents, and Brother Darkness’s sudden vanishing adds an eerie layer to these disappearances. There may be unspeakable secrets behind this, sounding an alarm for player safety.

I can’t help but ask, what could cause a living person to suddenly vanish? Is it a moral collapse, where Brother Darkness lost respect for life? Or a distortion of humanity, where he chose to hide and run away?

Regardless, we must face the issues reflected by this disappearance. We need to strengthen social morality, raise legal awareness and responsibility among players, and care more for the people around us, ensuring their mental health to avoid tragedies like this from happening again.

Finally, I call on all players who might know anything to step forward and help find Brother Darkness’s whereabouts.

May Brother Darkness return safely and continue sharing new guides for the hungry forum brothers.

And for Brother Darkness, if you’re lurking, don’t trample on everyone’s care and expectations. Disappearing without a word is a grave offense.

Game Gold-Farmer replies to Is This a Beaver?: Beaver, you really know how to chatter. Seems like you’re the freest one in Dinner Gang, replying to every hot post. While others play the game, you’re playing the forum, huh?

Is This a Beaver? replies to Game Gold-Farmer: Hee hee, we’re about the same. You’re the most idle one in your gold-farming squad. Instead of training hard, you’re slacking off on the forum. Be careful or I’ll beat your butt.

My Brother Can Turn Into A Succubus: Ahhh, where did Brother Darkness go? I can’t live without his guides! One day without his posts makes me feel itchy all over, like countless little ants crawling inside my body. I can’t stand it! Someone get Brother Darkness back and post a guide to keep me alive!

Because Brother Darkness, who usually flooded the forum with frequent posts and guides, hadn’t appeared for several days, the forum was abuzz with discussion.

At the same time, in the real world.

Yelan City, Mirror Cloud Lake.

Night had fallen. The sunset’s afterglow spread across the lake, while the shore was wrapped in the gentle embrace of twilight.

The evening breeze carried a faint chill as it brushed across the lake, stirring delicate ripples and caressing Pei Yun’s face, lifting the short hair on his forehead.

Leaning against the railing by the lakeshore, Pei Yun gazed at an old, weathered boat floating on the water.

Swaying gently in the wind, the small boat seemed like a forgotten relic lost in time, standing in stark contrast to the tall, modern buildings along the lake, appearing exceptionally lonely.

Just then, a text notification sounded.

Pulling out his phone, he saw a message from the hospital.

They requested that he arrive at the hospital by 8 AM tomorrow to complete the admission procedures in preparation for the kidney transplant surgery.

After pressing confirm, he slipped the phone back into his pocket.
