Forty-six

"So what about the divine realm you're talking about?"

"As the name suggests, it's another world, except the people living there aren't gods, but ordinary people like us. You could also call it the real world."

"Okay, so since you just said the recording belongs to that real world, does that also mean Queen Diyue is from that world?"

"You're half right," the doctor said as he slowly extended a finger, holding it in the air and trembling uncontrollably. "She used to be, and now, she completely belongs here."

"Why?"

"Because...she's dead."

The miracle doctor's voice was hoarse, and the pauses in his words seemed to be due to lack of strength, but for some reason, Yun Qi felt a chilling chill through and through.

Because the other person's expression always gave him a morbid feeling that he was laughing at life and death all the time.

He looked at the man in front of him who was gloating over his own erudition and asked sincerely, "Do you have any grudge against her?"

The doctor raised his eyebrows, not expecting him to ask that. The next second he put his hand down and really started thinking.

After a while, he replied, "No hatred or resentment."

After hearing this, Yun Qi turned around and put the pot of succulents back to its original place. Because it had not been watered for a long time, the leaves at the bottom of the succulents had dried up. Seeing this, Yun Qi pulled them out without thinking.

As he worked on it, he said, "Then I'd like to know what role the Miraculous Doctor plays in this network of relationships. You have a deep understanding of the so-called real world and you wholeheartedly assist Beitang Fenghe. I can't believe you say you have no connection with the Queen. In other words, which world are you from?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Qi lowered his eyes and saw that he had plucked several dry leaves, and his hand stopped instantly.

What am I doing???

How can it be so easy...

Yunqi felt guilty and wanted to arrest Ye Zi, but then he thought again and decided to let it go since things had come to this point.

The doctor didn't take his action seriously at all, as if it was normal and reasonable. What he cared more about was the question asked by Yun Qi: Which world do you belong to?

Yeah, which world does he belong to?

I have clearly made up my mind, so why am I still so unwilling and so reluctant to admit it?

Yunqi had no idea about his inner struggle, and he only heard the result of his struggle.

"half…"

Not quite here, not quite there either.

Half? Yun Qi muttered these two words in his heart. If the queen's half was because she had died here and could never return to the real world, then could his half also be...

"Is there no way back now that I'm here?"

Until this moment, the miracle doctor was still immersed in his own emotions. He only felt a voice slip into his ears. After barely understanding it, he was about to nod, but then he suddenly looked up.

He saw Yunqi looking at him quietly.

The genius doctor was stunned for a moment before suddenly smiling. "You're very clever, but haven't you considered that it's just people's obsession with power? As long as I have it, I'll be wherever the world takes me. Who cares about belonging?"

Yun Qi had sharp eyes. Just as he finished saying this, he accidentally saw something through the crack in the window. He then quickly took a few steps back to get out of the range where he might be exposed.

Before the genius doctor could react, Yun Qi whispered, "Beitang Fenghe."

…

Feng He pushed the door open and a gust of wind came in, blowing the window that was not closed tightly into a larger gap. The room was empty. He looked around at everything here, and a rare indifferent and dead expression appeared on his face.

He walked in carrying the food box. Before Yun Qi and the genius doctor, who were hiding in the dark, could see what was going on, they heard a "click" from inside. Then Feng He opened the wardrobe, and a secret passage appeared inside.

The two of them gasped. Originally, they wanted to hide in the closet, but then they changed their minds and realized that when they saw Feng He, he was still some distance away from here. In the end, they decided to hide outside the back window and peek, which was safer.

It seems that it is correct.

However, the genius doctor had no idea about the secret passage. Not to mention Yun Qi, even he himself was almost questioning whether he was the instigator.

"Mother, I'm here to see you." Feng He said towards the entrance of the secret passage.

But the next second, he suddenly turned his head to look at Yunqi and the others, but he saw nothing.

Because Yun Qi, who realized something was wrong a moment ago, had already dragged the miracle doctor away and hid.

When Yunqi tried to look into the house again, he couldn't see Fenghe at all.

Seeing this, Yun Qi hurriedly looked around, making sure that this person would not suddenly appear behind them before whispering to the doctor, "Did he go in?"

The miracle doctor had just been dragged down by Yun Qi and fell to the ground. Upon hearing this, he slowly propped himself up and looked inside.

"It should be."

Later they waited for about an incense stick of time. Feng He came out, closed the entrance to the secret passage, took the food box he brought with him, and left without looking back.

This time, Yunqi saw the location of the mechanism clearly. After making sure that Fenghe had gone far away, they did not go through the main door, but climbed in through the window again.

The miracle doctor was not young anymore. After Yun Qi climbed in, found the mechanism and opened it, his feet finally reached the ground. He almost couldn't stand when he came down.

Yun Qi sighed when he saw this, and when the doctor came to him, he said, "Let's go in and take a look."

One side of the thatched house leans against the mountain, and the secret room leading to the secret passage in the wardrobe is inside the mountain. It is pitch black at first, and one can only use a tinder to explore the way until one sees light not far ahead. Even though one is still in the mountain, one feels as if the world is suddenly enlightened.

What none of them expected was that there were only candles burning at the door of the secret room, and the light in the secret room was emitted by the pile of large and small luminous pearls.

The night pearls surrounded an object that looked like a crystal coffin, with a small table in front of it. As I guessed correctly, the food on it was the one Feng He had just delivered.

Yunqi and the miracle doctor stood at the door, not knowing how to proceed.

After a few seconds of mental preparation, Yunqi walked in first, followed closely by the miracle doctor.

Yun Qi went straight towards the crystal coffin. The coffin had no lid, so he could catch a glimpse of the person lying inside. Yun Qi slowed down his pace and started to get nervous for no reason. With every step he took forward, the person inside became a little more exposed to his field of vision, until the whole person was exposed to Yun Qi's sight.

Yun Qi's breathing immediately stopped.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman was lying there, her face calm as if she was asleep.

The miracle doctor came forward and his eyes widened when he saw the scene in front of him.

It was as if everything happened yesterday, instead of more than a thousand days and nights having passed.

"How is this possible?" the genius doctor couldn't help but ask.

Is she not dead yet?

But Yun Qi knew that Beitang Fenghe had used some special method to ensure that the corpse would not decay for three years.

He stared at the woman's face, and the inexplicable feeling he had when he was in the sea of ​​flowers came over him again. This time, his consciousness was instantly dragged into an unfamiliar space.

"Xiaoye is here. Are you going to work so early today?"

Yunqi was standing aside, and a woman whose face could not be seen was talking to him with a smile.

At this moment, a person appeared in the direction she was facing. Although she couldn't see clearly, Yunqi felt that this person looked like herself. The moment his voice came, Yunqi's vision suddenly became clear...

"Not only is it early, but he also worked overtime last night. Maybe he'll have to work overtime tonight as well."

Yunqi stared in horror at the man who looked exactly like him. He was about to speak but found that his throat could not make a sound. He covered his neck. He was clearly standing next to them, but they seemed to be unaware of his existence.

The woman continued, "You guys are really tired from doing this. I'll go and make some arrangements and send you a banner when the time comes."

Her words successfully attracted Yun Qi, and he turned his head to look. At this moment, he saw the woman's face...

It was the Queen of Yue, Ping'an.

What is going on???

Yunqi recalled that he was clearly in the secret room just now, so how did he suddenly end up here? There were two people who looked exactly like him and Heping An, and why did this scene feel so familiar?

The person who looked like him spoke again, but this time the voice seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

"You're so polite, Aunt Zhao. I'm so sorry."

"You little brat." The woman shook her head. "No matter how important your work is, you still have to rest. Don't overwork yourself."

Xiaoye immediately stood up straight, placed his right palm on the side of his forehead, and said, "Got it!"

The woman smiled and asked, "Is it still the same?"

"Well... I need to get a few more buns today to bring breakfast to those guys..."

…

The voice was no longer audible and the person was gone.

Yunqi was still standing there. His head suddenly hurt, and he glanced away inadvertently.

blue?

Is that the succulent pot?

The screen changes again...

"Xiao Ye" walked over there, picked up a succulent plant, and said to himself, "Why are so many leaves withered?" As he spoke, he pulled them off one by one.

Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, he was also so easy to do...

Yunqi wanted to wait and see what would happen, but suddenly a strong suction force took him out of here.

When he opened his eyes again, he was standing beside a street. Something was running very fast on the street. The houses here were very tall and the people were dressed very strangely, which dazzled him.

As he was watching, someone suddenly pulled his hand. He looked down and saw a little girl. The little girl said in a childish voice: "Brother, can you take me to find my mother?"

"Looking for... Mom?"

Yun Qi muttered something, and just as he was in a daze, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Qi Ye, the little girl must have accidentally gotten separated from her mother. Take her to look for her."

Yunqi looked around in confusion.

Who shouted? Who was he shouting?

Before he could figure out what was going on, a girl stood in front of him and stared at him. Yun Qi's heart skipped a beat and he took a step back.

The girl looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Why are you so absent-minded lately?"

"Ah? Me?" Yun Qi pointed at himself.

The girl nodded, "Yes! You! Qi Ye."

Yun Qi waved his hands repeatedly, "I am not, I am not, you admit your mistake..."

Before he could finish his words, Yun Qi glanced at his sleeves and then glanced down.

clothing?

Raise your hand and touch it again.

hair?

He was just about to ask the girl what was going on when the scene in front of him suddenly became chaotic. The girl, the little girl, and the busy street were all covered by smoke. He heard movement behind him, turned around suddenly, and saw a mirror.

He approached cautiously, and the person in the mirror was doing the same movements as him. Yun Qi remembered that with this outfit, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the same person as "Xiao Ye".

Yun Qi was thinking, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed that the person in the mirror was motionless. He was startled and looked directly at him.

As expected, they looked at each other.

But he knew that what was reflected here was no longer him.

Sure enough, when Yunqi didn't move, the man in the mirror spoke. He looked at Yunqi with a gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything.

"It's time to remember."

As soon as he said this, Yunqi's head began to explode with pain. He couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on the ground with his hands supporting his head. His vision became more and more blurred, and sweat dripped down his cheeks. He looked at the mirror with difficulty, and the person inside was looking down at him.

A flood of memories began to flood into my mind...

…

"Why!"

Yun Qi took a deep breath and came to his senses. The doctor next to him had been calling him for a long time.

He once again lowered his eyes in disbelief at the woman in the crystal coffin, as if she were from another world.

The doctor beside him asked, "Why are you standing still all of a sudden?"

Yun Qi ignored him, his eyes still fixed on the crystal coffin, and his heart suddenly felt extremely sad.

"Aunt Zhao..." he murmured involuntarily.

What happened? Why are you here?

He looked at the small table again, and on it were steamed buns.

Yunqi clenched his fists.

The doctor seemed to have heard him, so he pushed him and asked, "What did you say?"

Yunqi turned to look at him, and even though his throat was choked, he didn't let tears show in his eyes.

Because this miracle doctor in front of him dared to lie to him...

Although Yunqi deliberately concealed his emotions, the doctor still saw some hatred in his eyes.

Before he could say anything, the secret passage outside suddenly lit up.

Yunqi and the miracle doctor turned their heads at the same time.

Feng He, who had already gone far away, appeared outside the secret room and looked at them with a smile on his face.

There was obvious panic on the doctor's face, and Yun Qi's eyes were strangely cold.

Inside the thatched hut, the leaves of the succulent plants had been blown to the ground by the wind, adding a flaw to the spotless ground.
