The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1136 Tragedy of Fate
Things seem to be finally back on track.

Tommy. Keller. Lanny. The neighbor lady and the baby. Crockett.

Everything is over, everyone is happy, everyone has found the direction and focus of life, and the world seems to have finally returned to normal.

except him.

So, if only he disappeared, everything would be perfect, right?
Perhaps, this is the simplest thing.

Evan lay in the bathtub, turned on the faucet, and watched the water flowing quietly. The icy cold water drowned him bit by bit.

Taking a deep breath, Evan closed his eyes and let the water wrap around him, drown him, and swallow him, and the world fell into endless darkness.

However, things are not that simple.

The buoyancy pushed him up and down in the water. His body was never able to sink completely, but instead resurfaced when the bathtub began to overflow.

He tried to hold his breath and let himself sink again; but he continued to struggle.

Just then, Tommy came in and saw Evan struggling in the bathtub. He quickly stepped forward and pulled Evan out of the bathtub.

Tommy didn't think much about it, he thought it was an accident.

Devastated, Evan admitted that he was trying to take his own life.

Unexpectedly, it was Tommy who began to comfort Evan. The whole weird situation made Evan collapse, "I can't even kill myself."

Tommy hugged Evan tightly and stayed by his side with practical actions. Despite the bitterness and struggle, Tommy forced himself to cheer up.

"I have to get you out of here or visiting hours will be over."

Visiting?

What visitation?
Before the audience in the theater had time to let the doubts spread in their minds, the movie had already given the answer -

Andrea. Lung cancer.

The once lively Andrea was now lying on the hospital bed like a zombie, dying.

Evan was stunned.

Nicholas was also stunned.

The face on the big screen looked haggard, decadent, and depressed, with untidy beard and messy hair. The terrible dark circles under the eyes and cracked lips made his complexion look even duller. The worst thing was that there was no light in those deep blue eyes, only deep fatigue and exhaustion.

At this moment, the pair of eyes stared blankly ahead, flickering slightly, panic and fear, timidity, anger and other emotions intertwined and entangled together. He tried to struggle and explode, but was grabbed by a deep powerlessness at the ankles. He continued to fall in the endless darkness and was swallowed up bit by bit.

I can't shout or cry.

The helplessness and confusion instantly overwhelmed him.

At the same time, it also defeated Nicholas in front of the big screen.

Nicholas opened his mouth slightly, trying to make some sound, but found that there was no thought in his mind. He just fell along with the gaze of those blue eyes, like a free fall, falling endlessly.

"Have you become a chain smoker ever since I blew myself up?" Evan murmured.

Andrea was stunned.

It was Tommy who comforted Andrea, "I'm sorry, he's been acting a little strange lately."

Evan didn't have time to pay attention to these things. He was just immersed in his own thoughts. "I can fix this." Andrea, "Fix?"

Evan said to himself that he needed his diary, but then he realized that he had no hands, so he might not be able to find his diary in this time and space. What should he do? How could he go back?

Evan's panicked look made Andrea alert, and she realized that Jason went crazy when he was Evan's current age.

However, before Andrea could even say it, Evan already knew what Andrea was going to say; the problem was that in this time and space, Andrea had never told Evan about Jason, and Evan had never visited Jason.

Evan's thoughts became a tangled mess, his memories were all disrupted in different time and space, the timelines were intertwined, and the ups and downs of things began to become confusing.

Andrea looked at Evan who was gradually falling into trouble, tears slowly falling from her eyes, "You... just... are becoming more and more like Jason..."

Andrea was strangled by despair and fear, but Evan didn't pay attention. He didn't care about these things. His mind was full of only one thought:
Save mother.

With the help of Lanny, Evan found the only diary in this time and space. Before the mailbox exploded and before Crockett died, Evan had no choice but to go back to the timeline where he started recording the diary, but he still found a solution:

As long as he destroyed the detonator in advance, nothing that happened afterwards would happen.

So Evan rummaged around in the kitchen and found a kitchen knife. When he was about to leave, Andrea saw this scene.

Before Evan could take the next step, Andrea stopped him.

Then, Evan came back to reality and nothing happened.

Then, Evan returned to the afternoon when he was filming the movie in the basement. Without even having time to stop George, he turned around and found the detonator according to his memory. He dug it out, ready to destroy it once and for all.

However, he never expected that when George was trying to stop Evan from destroying the entire basement, the lit detonator was thrown out and Keller picked it up.

When he woke up again, Evan realized that he had been sent to a juvenile detention center, began a wandering and decadent life, and finally ended up in a mental hospital.

Evan regains consciousness and tries to retrieve his diary; but the doctor tells him that there is no diary at all and that there never were any diaries.

"…This is just part of a fantasy world your brain created to overcome your guilt for accidentally killing Kyler Miller."

The doctor said.

"Think about it, Evan, think about it. You invented a disease that doesn't exist, and you live in a world of college, prison, and paralysis."

The doctor said he was crazy.

But Evan didn't believe it. "I want my diaries, and I want them now. I know they are in your hands, and you have to give them back to me. Don't lie to me again, I need them."

Evan went crazy, his eyes were red, he was yelling and roaring at the doctor, his shouting turned into begging, the sadness in his eyes could no longer be controlled.

Nicholas was completely stunned.

At some point, he actually began to believe the doctor. Maybe everything before was just Evan's fantasy, a story played out in a schizophrenic mind. Maybe.

However, deep in their hearts, there is a voice that firmly grasps the reins of reason. Everything that happens in the entire movie is real, but ordinary people like them cannot understand it.

So, what is real and what is an illusion?

Also, what is normal and what is insane?

When they look at the lunatics in the mental hospital, they naturally think that they are abnormal and that all the unreasonable cognitions they say are crazy talk. They are afraid, reject, and dodge them, and then lock them behind iron bars and bars to maintain order in the world.

So who is crazy? And who holds the truth?
