I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 896 - 896 895. Everything is reasonable

Chapter 896: 895. Everything is reasonable. Chapter 896: 895. Everything is reasonable. Hearing Lu Ban’s words, Feng Yu gave an embarrassed smile.

“If you’re thanking me for taking care of you, then you should find another way to say it, I just graduated two years ago.”

Feng Yu maintained a certain distance from Lu Ban, speaking with a smile.

“Actually, I sometimes quite envy you, being able to immerse yourself in your own world. Some of the stories you told before were quite interesting.”

After saying that, she quickly realized her blunder, it was obviously inappropriate to say such things in front of a patient.

“Cough cough, anyway, it’s good if you’re a bit better.”

“You’re not a Traveler who can travel through time, but just a common nurse?”

Lu Ban asked as if to confirm.

“Of course not, if I could travel through time, I would definitely make my high school self study hard, uh, I guess I would have to start from the first year.”

Feng Yu said to herself, then looked back at Lu Ban.

“All this is your imagination, Lu Ban, you need to learn to differentiate between reality and fantasy, understand?”

“I understand fantasy and reality.”

Lu Ban nodded.

“That’s good. It might be because I’m the one bringing you your meals that you think I’ve helped you a lot and have given me some very unique character traits.”

Feng Yu continued.

“Actually, I’m just an ordinary nurse, I can’t help the patients here much, I can only do some things within my reach.”

“That’s already very great.”

Lu Ban said in a deep voice, then lowered his voice even more.

“I must now be engulfed in The Dark One’s Illusion Realm; I don’t know whether you are also trapped in it, or just a figment of imagination.”

Hearing Lu Ban’s words, Feng Yu looked somewhat embarrassed.

“Lu Ban, if you keep talking like this, Doctor Wu might have you stay in the hospital a bit longer.”

She said this.

“It seems to be imaginary.”

Lu Ban muttered to himself.

“…You eat first, I’ll come to collect the plate in a while.”

Feng Yu left the ward as if fleeing.

Lu Ban began to eat.

The food at the hospital tasted bland but was quite healthy, and Lu Ban finished quickly.

After a while, Feng Yu came to collect the meal tray; this time she didn’t say much to Lu Ban and hurried away.

At ten o’clock in the evening, the lights in the hospital went out; Lu Ban had just finished watching an old film about family relationships. He lay down, wondering about The Dark One’s intentions.

Over the past few days, Lu Ban spent his time watching TV, eating, and at most standing by the window with burglar bars, looking at the courtyard below.

Many light patients were able to go outside to sunbathe, and Lu Ban recognized quite a few of them.

Some were employees of Silent Media, others were passersby he had encountered in Foreign Domain.

A mental patient processing the people he had seen into stories that could even deceive himself seemed a quite reasonable explanation.

The girl who looked like Amber came over every day; it was summer break now, so she didn’t have to go to school.

From their conversations, Lu Ban had a rough understanding of their relationship.

Both of their parents were university professors specializing in archaeology, and both of them grew up together in the faculty housing. Even if they weren’t childhood sweethearts, they were at least childhood friends.

However, Lu Ban’s parents met with an accident abroad and passed away. Lu Ban had a mental breakdown in university and had been staying here these last two years.

There were no logical problems, Lu Ban thought to himself.

The fact that he was an orphan didn’t change in any world.

It seemed like it was destined.

The day of discharge quickly arrived.

Lu Ban packed up his things, which really weren’t much – just some personal clothes and toiletries – and left the hospital accompanied by the girl.

Jiangcheng Mental Health Center.

That was the name of the hospital.

Lu Ban couldn’t help but feel reflective.

He and the girl had taken a taxi, and after getting in, Lu Ban took a careful look at the driver’s appearance in the rearview mirror.

He didn’t recognize him.

The driver had been summoned through an app, a fleeting encounter, so it was normal for Lu Ban to not have met him before.

The driver noticed Lu Ban’s gaze and joked,

“Nowadays, it’s not easy, a lot of people are under great mental strain.”

“Yeah,”

Lu Ban responded casually.

The car started moving, very smoothly, clearly, this was an experienced driver.

“Are you guys visiting a friend?”

The driver asked, maneuvering the steering wheel.

“Not really,”

Lu Ban replied right away.

The girl tugged at Lu Ban’s clothes, trying to get him to stop talking.

“Eh, eh…”

The driver seemed to sense something. He glanced from Lu Ban, who appeared quite normal, to the young girl beside him.

Such a young girl, he hadn’t expected her to have mental health issues.

The driver sighed to himself.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the residential complex.

The place matched Lu Ban’s memory of the house he lived in; after all, this complex was right next to Jiangcheng University, and it was normal for one of the buildings to be designated for staff and their families.

“If you feel a bit lonely by yourself, you could come and visit us,”

The girl pointed to the neighboring house and said as Lu Ban already put his luggage down.

The room was empty and sparsely furnished, which was somewhat similar to Lu Ban’s previous room.

A fairly new computer, an old TV, an unused kitchen, an empty fridge, an unmade bed—all felt strangely familiar yet foreign.

Thoughtfully, the girl helped Lu Ban tidy up and clean. Time quickly passed, and evening arrived.

“Let’s go to the university and grab something to eat,”

The girl suggested.

It seemed her parents weren’t often at home either.

They arrived at Jiangcheng University, where the security guard greeted the girl warmly and then saw Lu Ban, giving him a slightly stiff smile but still saying hello.

They got their food from the cafeteria and sat down at a table.

Lu Ban took out his smartphone, which was given to him by Doctor Wu when he left the hospital.

Connecting to the internet, Lu Ban first searched for the terms he was familiar with.

Regrettably, these terms bore no resemblance to the concepts he knew.

This world also did not have the movies that Lu Ban had filmed.

Entering the term “Ancient Overlord,” all he found were references to a modern myth created by an author.

He then looked up Du Danping and found that indeed he was a well-known musician, often performing abroad, and had even held a solo concert at the Golden Hall.

As for Song Yunyan, she was the daughter of Jiangcheng Industries. She hadn’t become the CEO but instead handled entertainment-related businesses. The two were already married, with children old enough to help out in the kitchen.

“Eat more; the food in the hospital certainly wasn’t good,”

The girl said, picking a piece of pork rib for Lu Ban. She couldn’t bear to interrupt him since he was so focused on his phone, especially since Lu Ban hadn’t touched a smartphone in a year.

Lu Ban shifted his gaze away from the phone screen and acknowledged her with a sound.

At that moment, however, he heard a voice coming from behind.

“F**k, I knew it was that one, believe me, I’ll log on in a bit, don’t rush, I know you’re eager, but just don’t rush.”

This somewhat familiar voice made Lu Ban turn his head.

He saw a female student, speaking into her phone while balancing a meal tray in one hand as she sat down, looking just like Qin Tiantian.
