Xingchen is lying on the bed, and the seniors are treating him with their spiritual powers. Xue Yang stood beside him, looking with eyes, hoping Xingchen will wake up soon.

"We are not able to wake him. The Poison he created was too injurious. He is not even breathing. I Lost my child again," said Yu Ziyuan grievously.
Xue Yang said, looking at Xingchen's face, "I Know he will wake up. He promised me that he would stay with me forever while he wiped tears off his eyes."
Ju Yi explained in detail, "The Poison traps a person in its dark black hole. Xingchen's dark thoughts and sadness are holding him from coming back. Xingchen will have to defeat his inner demon's only then he can come back, but it's already been two days. I think Xingchen has decided this on his own."
Xue Yang looked at Xingchen gloomily and thought, "Xingchen, please come back. I can't live without you." Everybody had lost all the hope except Xue Yang.
Xue Yang used to always clean Xingchen before sleeping and kept food next to him in case Xingchen wake up and knowing that he will feel hungry, he always used to make sure food is warm and slept next to him and woke up in the middle of every night with the hope that maybe he wakes up one day.
One night, Xue Yang was admiring Xingchen's beautiful eyes and noticed some dust on his locket. He stood up to clean off the dirt, but as soon as he touched the locket, his body fell on Xingchen, but his soul reached Xingchen's nightmare.
He found himself in a graveyard with evil spirits flying all around; black crows and smelly air. Xue Yang closed his nose and moved forward; he was unsure where he was. He saw people in blood around him. The place was full of spider webs and dust. He managed to pass through the cobwebs and found a person crying in the area's dark corner.
He slowly approached him and asked him, "Who are you?" He got no reply, so he touched his shoulder to talk to him.
The person lifted his face and was now watching Xue Yang's face. It was Xingchen with blood dripping his mouth as if he had killed and sucked the blood from all the dead bodies he noticed earlier.
Xue Yang realized that he must be inside Xingchen's mind, and his dreams were connected to the locket. He extended his hand towards Xingchen and said in a slow loving tone, "Let's go, Xingchen."
Xingchen, without a blink, stared at Xue Yang stood up, ignoring him, and kept walking. Xue Yang followed him and saw him sitting in front of a tombstone with his parents' names engraved in it. He then started walking towards another tombstone and sat in front of it. It had Xue Yang's parents engraved in it.
Xue Yang became emotional and started crying silently, looking at that scene. Xingchen, with an expressionless face, as if he was a walking dead, went back to the same place where he was sitting and held a knife in his hand and kept harming himself with it.
Xue Yang immediately stopped Xingchen. Xingchen stood up and threw Xue Yang away and kept continuing to do the same.
He kept murmuring, "I must die!! I Killed everybody".
Xue Yang held the Knife and hugged Xingchen, saying that it was not at all his fault. He pleaded with Xingchen, but Xingchen remained silent and stood up and started walking towards the gravestone. He Kept doing the same again and again.
"He is stuck in the vicious circle of his guilts, I will have to do something." Xue Yang thought to himself.
Xue Yang grabbed Xingchen's wrist and yelled at him, "Xingchen, we have to go!!"
Xingchen resisted and said, "I must die!! I Killed everybody".
"You did not kill anybody Xingchen. Please, let's go. Everybody is waiting for you to wake up."
Xingchen kept looking at Xue Yang and loosened himself from the grip and turned around.
"Your mother is alive, Xingchen." Xingchen froze on hearing this. Xue Yang kept talking about his mother, and a gentle half-smile flickers over his face.
Suddenly Yu Ziyuan's illusion came in front of them.
"You killed my husband. You are a devil, just like your dad. Go and die, Xingchen. You deserve to die."
The dark thoughts again engulfed Xingchen's mind. Xingchen re-iterated the whole walking thing.
Xue Yang was not going to loose hope; he was about to grab Xingchen, but a black spirit came in between them and threw Xue Yang far away.
"Go!! Away" it said in a devilish tone. The Spirit's face was covered with long hair; nails dirty and long.
The Spirit sent the blade's towards Xue Yang. He found a sword that was covered in blood and used it to fight it.
The Spirit was very clever; It had the power to control one's mind and body. Xue Yang was losing control; his hands and legs turned numb.
He lost control over his body. The Spirit approached Xue Yang and choked him, lifting him from the ground.
Xue Yang struggled to breathe. He suddenly remembered Ju Yi's wordings and knew that this black spirit was none other than Xue Yang's dark thoughts himself.
Xue Yang called Xingchen as loud as he could whilst struggling to breathe, but it was of no use. Xue Yang was now close to falling unconscious, and with his last breath, called for Xingchen.
As soon as his blood from one of the injuries touched the Black Spirit, It started losing its form, and Xue Yang landed unconscious on the ground.
The entire mirage was in chaos with wailing sounds all around. The mirage turned bright white.
Xingchen's locket broke, and he woke up screaming Xue Yang's name.
Xingchen found himself lying on the bed with Xue Yang lying next to him. He tried waking him up and called him multiple times. He got scared and started crying.
"You look ugly, crying," Xue Yang mocked him while acting dead. Xingchen stopped crying and slapped Xue Yang.
"Don't ever do this again!!"
"I am sorry!!" said Xingchen while he cried and hugged Xue Yang.
The birds had started chirping outside as it was the beginning of a new day now.
