That Xiuxian is Xun.
Shang Kaixun, who was sitting on a smooth boulder, ignored their little movements. He flipped through the mobile phone that belonged to his body in this life and opened the photo album according to his memory.
After just one glance, Shang Kaixun fell silent.
This is... him?
The latest photo is a selfie of Shang Yue. The 19-year-old freshman is smiling silly while making a scissors gesture. The bright sunshine is very kind to him, casting a layer of light like fine sand on his head. The sunny and cheerful boy is smiling silly at the camera, and the shadow of a girl is reflected in his bright eyes.
Shang Kaixun closed his eyes and searched in his mind for a moment before identifying the person who took the photo for him.
Yan Yurong is Shang Yue's sophomore senior and also his current girlfriend.
Perhaps he had been wrong before, and the "girlfriend" in this world did not mean a committed husband and wife partner.
In other words, the relationship between them has not yet reached that stage.
This conclusion made Shang Kaixun somewhat hesitant.
In his previous life in Chengyuan Continent, Yan Zhiyun and he formed a bond and became partners. Whether before or after the bond, Shang Kaixuan was sure that Yan Zhiyun loved him deeply. For Shang Kaixuan, Yan Zhiyun was also important enough in his heart.
This was also the reason why he was sure in his previous life that he could only ascend to another world after killing his own relatives.
The ruthless sword art requires the cultivator to cut off all his attachments, so that he can be alone and focus on his own cultivation of the Tao without any attachments, and only then can he find the slightest chance of immortality bestowed upon him by the Great Dao.
Did he succeed?
Shang Kaihuan was not sure. All the memories of Yan Zhiyun in his mind were now reduced to her calm eyes, her bleeding chest, and the buzzing sword.
"bass--"
As soon as he thought about it, a long sword as hard as jade appeared in front of Shang Kaihuan. The young man turned his wrist and grasped the hilt of the sword.
'Destruction' is the name of the sword, but the blade of the sword is now rough and the hairs are not as translucent as when it was stained with blood.
When practicing the ruthless sword art, the sword in your hand is extremely important. The transparency of the long sword reflects the state of mind of the practitioner. Now, annihilation has become like this...
There was a rare hint of anxiety in Shang Kaixun's eyes.
What went wrong?
Before he could think any further, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the distant entrance.
**
Wolong Road is in the suburbs. In order to get there as quickly as possible, Yan Yurong and others decided to catch a taxi and move forward quickly.
The taxi driver was quite talkative, chatting with them with a smile all the way. The topic of the chat was nothing more than that he had a daughter who was the same age as them and estimated that she would be able to go home and rest for a few days during the May Day holiday. In the end, he asked these female college students if they had any recommendations for nearby tourist destinations.
Luo Shiqin is from this city, Yu Yu is from the next city, and only Yan Yurong is a resident of a tourist city in another province. She hesitated for a moment, but still introduced herself to each other.
Thanks to this kind and outgoing uncle, Yan Yurong's attention was distracted a little and her expression no longer seemed particularly worried.
Halfway through the fifteen-minute journey, Luo Shiqin half-leaned on the left rear seat backrest, looking at the unmodified words above the uncle's head.
"The Legend of Wang Lei". It seems that Uncle Zi did not participate in the plot of "Seeking Destiny and Asking the Way" - but it is hard to say, maybe he was just a background board.
She knew without a mirror that the eyes on her neck were always open. Luo Shiqin touched her throat and didn't feel any discomfort physically, but psychologically she felt something was wrong when she thought about having an electronic monitor installed on her neck.
Let’s change our thinking… Just think of it as a smart tattoo.
Thinking of this, Luo Shiqin relaxed instantly.
"We're here." The driver turned around and said to them, "Girl, don't get off on the left side. There are too many cars there. Get off on the right side."
Luo Shiqin, who was sitting on the left, responded, then watched Yu Yu, who was sitting next to another window, open the door and get out of the car, with Yan Yurong following closely behind.
She was the only one left. Luo Shiqin put her left hand on the back of the front seat, trying to use it to get out of the car.
Perhaps it was an accidental touch, she only felt an itch on her fingertips, and then ripples appeared in front of her eyes again.
"Legend of Wang Lei" [Latest update: Chapter 55: Accidental Collision]
Rodchenko was stuck between the seat and the door.
"Senior?" Yu Yu, who was standing on the side of the road, asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"It's OK."
Luo Shiqin got out of the car, stood beside her, and watched Yan Yurong take out her cell phone to pay the fare.
Yan Yurong: "The network here is a bit bad, please wait a moment."
She held up her phone and showed the driver the spinning payment page.
The driver said cheerfully, "No problem, no problem. I can take a break for a while." He took out a large bottle of green tea from the passenger side, quickly opened the bottle and gulped it down. It seemed that he was indeed very thirsty.
When I was at school, the sky over the city was covered by dark clouds, and there were occasional thunderstorms, but when the car drove to the suburbs, the sky became clear. Looking into the city from here, I could still see a dark cloud covering it.
"I brought an umbrella." Yu Yu came to Luo Shiqin and whispered. She was carrying a crossbody canvas bag, not too big or too small, but enough to hold three small umbrellas. She showed it to Luo Shiqin as if asking for a compliment, and her proud look was just like a little sea otter holding a shell to exchange for a gift.
Luo Shiqin smiled.
The three of them were in a hurry to go out and had no cash with them, so they could only wait for the payment page to continue spinning.
Just now, she happened to touch the driver Wang Lei's head, and the other party's life book was displayed in front of Luo Shiqin. She didn't have any special interest in randomly looking up other people's life trajectories, but the name of the latest chapter in the life book made her a little interested.
[Chapter 55: Accidental Collision]
The weather in the city today is very strange.
Wang Lei put his hands on the steering wheel and tilted his head to look at the clearly defined sky from the window. Today he picked up three female students who were about the same age as his daughters. They were probably going to some kind of... team-building party?
Wang Lei didn't quite understand these, but among the three female college students, there was a pretty, generous and amiable girl who chatted with him very well.
Thanks to this little girl, when his family goes home during the May Day holiday, they finally have a cheap and convenient travel destination.
The network in the suburban area was probably affected by Lei Tian and became very unstable. Wang Lei took a large and cheap bottle of green tea and drank several sips to relieve his fatigue and thirst. After the girls paid the fare and said goodbye to them, Wang Lei finally drove away.
But that's how it happened.
Less than half a minute after the start, Wang Lei held the steering wheel with his left hand and took another sip from the tea bottle with his right hand. Then he looked downward for a moment, wanting to put the uncovered tea bottle in a temporarily flat and safe place.
There was a loud thunderclap, followed by a sharp brake sound. Wang Lei didn't even have time to focus his eyes on the windshield before he felt a huge impact on his head! Along with the sound of glass breaking, he felt a slight pain on his face, and his originally clear vision was instantly replaced by blood red!
What happened?
Wang Lei tried hard to open his eyes, but the scene before him made his dizzy brain go fuzzy again:
The shattered motorcycle scattered on the windshield of the taxi. Although the quality was guaranteed, the continuous blows still caused a small piece of the glass to break, which was the reason for the glass shards on Wang Lei's face.
What made him panic was not only that, but there was a person lying on the hood of his car!
The man was wearing a helmet, and Wang Lei had no idea whether he was still conscious. He only realized from his unresponsive limbs that he was in a dangerous situation.
It was you who suffered the accident, but now you have to worry about others.
If it weren't for the severe pain in his head, Wang Lei would have grinned and made a few self-deprecating remarks.
With trembling hands, he unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, and reached for his cell phone in his pocket, intending to check whether this unlucky person like him was still angry.
After getting out of the taxi, Wang Lei realized why the other person suddenly flew over and hit the windshield.
There was a particularly conspicuous black spot on the road just five meters away, and the unpleasant smell of burnt food blew into his nose with the wind.
Wang Lei's scalp suddenly shrank after seeing it clearly, and he felt the blood in his body suddenly run cold. He looked up at the sky blankly, and he didn't know when the dark clouds in the city had already surged above his head in the suburbs.
Is there... someone up there?
Wang Lei looked up at the sky with this thought in his mind, and then his pupils contracted——
“Boom!!”
Biography of Wang Lei - Complete]
Luo Shiqin: …
This latest chapter was not very long, only about 800 words, and Luo Shiqin read it very quickly, finishing it in almost a minute. It was precisely because she read too fast that she was particularly speechless.
If Shi Enle's life book ends with the inevitability of environmental riots, then Wang Lei's ending is simply a pile of unspeakable black mud.
Who would be struck to death by lightning for no apparent reason while walking on the street?
According to a survey that the Americans got from nowhere, the probability of a local being struck by lightning is only one in 600,000. How come in "The Legend of Wang Lei", he witnessed two lightning strikes? And he was the unlucky one.
Shouldn't this kind of situation only happen in novels?
Luo Shiqin was stunned.
...Yes, this is the novel.
"Okay, Master," Luo Shiqin heard the voice and looked over. Yan Yurong waved her cell phone at the taxi driver Wang Lei, "I'll pay."
Wang Lei: “Okay!”
He responded readily, then reached for the car gear with his free right hand.
Luo Shiqin's heart trembled. She quickly passed Yu Yu beside her and quickly pressed her hands on the open car window: "Wang Lei!"
The driver shuddered all over, and he lost hold of the green tea bottle in his left hand, so most of the tea spilled all over him.
This is serious.
Wang Lei quickly picked up the bottle, then looked toward the right window, helpless and confused: "What's wrong, girl? Did you forget to take something?"
The little girl in the black sweater didn't respond, but just looked up at the sky. Wang Lei was confused by her action and subconsciously followed her gaze to the sky.
At some point, dark clouds spread over the city and the sky in the suburbs was also covered with a layer of gray.
"Wang Lei," the little girl's voice was in his ears again, but... had he mentioned his name to them before?
"Do you believe in fate?"
Wang Lei:……?
Are you kidding?
He subconsciously wanted to answer like this, but when he looked into the other person's eyes, he swallowed his words back.
She didn't even have any expression, but her ordinary pair of brown-black eyes gave him a bottomless feeling at this moment.
"No, sister, you——"
Wang Lei's words were swallowed up by a thunderbolt before he could finish them. The nearly fifty-year-old uncle turned around in panic and saw that the place he would pass by was blackened by lightning. There was even a motorcycle that was broken into pieces and slid away, and a figure was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
He was so frightened by what happened that moment that his hands and feet were sweating and his whole body felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.
“Knock knock.”
The knocking sound brought Wang Lei back to his confused state of mind, and he looked at the girl in a daze.
"Uncle," the other party still had a normal expression, but this time Wang Lei did not dare to question her, "Call an ambulance for him."
Luo Shiqin said softly, "Don't get close for now. You might get struck by lightning again."
She looked at the screen in front of her that no one else could see. The latest content of "The Legend of Wang Lei" had been updated again. Luo Shiqin glanced through it quickly. When she turned to the bottom and found that the "The Legend of xx·End" that made her feel suffocated was not there, Luo Shiqin breathed a sigh of relief.
Not sure whether the two lightning strikes were man-made (from the perspective of the novel, she guessed that they might be other characters that had not been written about in time?) or coincidences, she still suggested that the other party stay in the car and wait for the ambulance to arrive.
As for how Wang Lei was shaken and shocked, Luo Shiqin didn't pay much attention. However, this provided her with a strong conjecture:
Perhaps, the profile of her through these "life books" can add some unexpected effects to her subsequent actions?
Watching the driver tremblingly taking out his cell phone to call for help, Luo Shiqin turned her head to look at the two little school girls who were already stunned.
"Shall we go?"
Yu Yu subconsciously said, "No, why don't we wait together?"
"We still have the most important person to meet." Luo Shiqin smiled, "We can't let him wait too long."
She looked at the two school girls who were looking at each other in bewilderment, then looked at her with trust in their eyes, nodded, and followed Luo Shiqin.
The schoolgirls were so cute. She raised her hands and rubbed the heads of the two little guys, saying softly, "Don't be afraid."
"Senior will protect you."
"Seeking Destiny and Asking the Way" [Latest Chapter:
The senior student in front of them had a gentle look in her eyes when she said this, but Yan Yurong/Yu Yu felt that there seemed to be something different about the other person.
What is it exactly?
She doesn't know.
But she knew that on the way to this strange meeting, with the company of Yu Yu/Yan Yurong and Senior Luo, she was no longer afraid of the unknown.
Senior Luo has always been the most reliable person.
