In the secret chamber, Lin Yuan's face was full of struggle.
Several times he reached out, wanting to pick up that blood-filled wine glass and drink it all, but then weakly put it down.
To drink or not to drink.
To die gracefully, or to live on in this neither human nor ghostly state.
For Lin Yuan, this became an excruciating choice.
If only...
If Ghost Leader hadn't come, if he didn't know his sister had woken up, if Ghost Leader hadn't told him he could be restored...
If it weren't for these factors, then Lin Yuan could have chosen death without hesitation.
When he chose to bind himself with chains and lock himself in the secret chamber, he wanted to die silently and unseen.
His sister's awakening and the hope of restoration became obstacles in Lin Yuan's quest for death.
He couldn't bear to die anymore.
"I want to see Chan'Er, even if I die, I must see her."
"I can't see him in this non-human, non-ghost state, I must restore myself, I must recover."
