Where were they now?
Peter Pan kept repeating the question, like some ancient computer that wouldn't stop restarting.
His mind was spiraling into chaos.
Jiang Ning reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Senior! Senior!"
Peter Pan finally stopped talking. Clarity gradually returned to his eyes.
"What happened just now?"
"You got into a strange state of mind," said Jiang Ning.
He had no idea what Peter Pan had gone through and why that coffin was so special to the old man.
Peter Pan wasn't doing very well right now. His memory appeared to be fragmented.
In fact, some of his memories appeared to be jumbled up. Everything must seem so confusing. It was vital that he rested right now. Everything else could wait until he
had recovered fully.
"You should rest right now. You can try and regain the rest of your memories after you're recovered." Jiang Ning eyed Peter Pan.
Surprisingly, the old man did not protest. He nodded and went back to bed. His eyes were still slightly glazed and he still looked a little lost.
It was clear that he had suffered quite a blow.
Even though nothing had turned up in the medical examination, but it was obvious that Peter Pan was an entity that defied conventional wisdom and contemporary scientific understanding.
If Jiang Ning was right, Peter Pan and Mr Lang did not belong to their time.
In fact, he had an idea which era they had come from.
If he were right, then Peter Pan would be ancient. It would have been in his right to
call a sixty-year-old man a kid.
There were some people from the same era that lived to the present day. There were ordinary folks with lifespans that exceeded a hundred years, after all. But no would not be able to discern from Peter Pan's or Mr Lang's physical appearance and mental state that they were men who were more than a hundred years old.
In fact, they appeared as strong as someone in their middle age.
Jiang Ning walked out of the room and shut the door behind him. A few medical specialists were waiting outside for him with the results of their examination.
