Chapter 1900: The Reason Behind the Vital Energy Rampage

As he thought about it, Fu Wangchan secretly clicked his tongue.

And yet, without seeing his parents or Fu Xiyan give him any correction fees, he still called them "Mom and Dad" and "Brother Yan" with ease.

While secretly grumbling, he started the car.

After driving for some distance, Fu Wangchan suddenly asked Gu Zhiqi, "Fu Xiyan said you asked me to call you once I woke up. What was that about?"

Gu Zhiqi: ?

"Hmm? When was this?"

Did that really happen?

Fu Wangchan: "It was after my Vital Energy went out of control and I regained consciousness. That’s what Fu Xiyan told me."

He only woke up at noon the next day, and after learning from Fu Xiyan that Gu Zhiqi wanted him to call, Fu Wangchan immediately dialed her.

However, he was unable to reach her.

It wasn’t until he went to the Yun Family that he learned Gu Zhiqi had entered the Trial Realm.

Only after asking did he find out she might not come out until the trial was over.

Yesterday was the last day of the trial, so he came around six in the afternoon and waited in the second-floor lobby for the entire night.

Unexpectedly, she only emerged at dawn.

When Fu Wangchan said this, Gu Zhiqi suddenly recalled it.

No wonder, when entering the trial, she felt like she was forgetting something—it was about Fu Wangchan.

"I did ask you to call me." Gu Zhiqi said, turning to look at Fu Wangchan, "That night, when you saw Fu Yingying’s painting, what did you feel? Why did you suddenly want to tear it up?"

After listening, Fu Wangchan pondered for two seconds, then found a place to park the car, and as he recollected, he described his feelings to Gu Zhiqi.

"The painting was very smelly, the stench was overwhelming, making one want to destroy it."

"As soon as I saw it, I felt as if I were in a cold, sinister world, with no light or direction, just pitch blackness, a very disgusting odor, and horrifying sounds constantly echoing in my ears."

After listening, Gu Zhiqi paused for a few seconds and asked, "What about Fu Yingying’s other paintings?"

"Sometimes there’s no particular feeling; other times, it feels very disgusting."

"Most of the time, her paintings feel stinky, and seeing them makes me feel like I’m dragged into strange illusionary realms—some are like purgatory, some are darkness with no end, and some are sinister realms piled with skeletons."

"And they are indeed very stinky, each with a different odor, bizarre yet equally repulsive."

So, every time he saw Fu Yingying’s paintings, he couldn’t help but tear them up.

Because the smell and colors were too nauseating.

And he couldn’t control himself even if he wanted to.

Gu Zhiqi was silent for two seconds, then asked Fu Wangchan, "Do you have synesthesia?"

Fu Wangchan was taken aback, then asked with a face full of confusion, "What is synesthesia?"

Gu Zhiqi: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, Gu Zhiqi rephrased her question to Fu Wangchan, "Aside from Fu Yingying’s paintings, do other things drag you into an illusionary realm? For example, if you see something, do you hear music or smell a scent, or if you hear a sound, do you see images or smell something?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Wangchan immediately nodded.

Apart from Fu Yingying’s paintings, he sometimes gets dragged into an illusionary realm when looking at other people’s artworks as well.

However, there is no bad smell or horrifying sounds.

More often, they are rather pleasant sensations.

Especially when viewing Yun Ling’s paintings.

Additionally, hearing sounds sometimes makes him suddenly see images or smell scents.

[Synesthesia: a phenomenon where one’s sensory stimulation triggers another sensation.

In layman’s terms, it involves tasting colors, seeing smells, touching flavors, and similar experiences.

Fu Wangchan’s symptoms are adapted from synesthesia.]
