Chapter 29: Xiying Xixia Manor
Logically speaking, when you reach this age, you find that you are actually living in a fictional world, and everything in your life is written and set by others.
A normal person's reaction would be to collapse.
He Rui was confused.
I feel that the protagonist has a strong ability to withstand blows. He is not depressed at all and doesn't take it seriously.
Didn't this guy believe what he said and think he was talking nonsense?
He Rui asked curiously, ".....You don't believe what I said?"
He looked at the other person, and his attention was drawn to the protagonist's suddenly moving hand.
The broad, bony hand was placed close to the glass kettle on the coffee table.
The next second, the water in the pot boiled and steam rose from the mouth of the pot.
A guess instantly flashed through He Rui's mind.
Perhaps because he said a lot of truth, the other party thought he was talking nonsense and was enraged, so he planned to burn the glass pot and pierce him with glass fragments, turning him into a glass hedgehog.
He subconsciously wanted to run, his leg muscles tensed, but he realized that it was useless to hide from this man.
After all, if the other party really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to escape. It would be better to stay still and not show any weakness. Maybe the situation wouldn't get too bad.
He Rui stared at the other person's hand movements with a tingling scalp, but it seemed that he was too vigilant and overthinking.
It seems that the protagonist just boiled some water.
Ji Changqing asked calmly, "Then what role are you in the book?"
Hearing this, He Rui was stunned. He looked at the man who was making tea by himself, his mind was confused.
"Are you talking about this rich second-generation He Rui? I don't know. I quit reading before I even finished the first chapter. Who knew there was someone with the same name as me in the book?
And if I had known that you two knew each other, I wouldn't have been so reckless to come here to find you the day before yesterday."
"No, I'm talking about you. What role do you play in this book?" Ji Changqing raised his eyebrows and said jokingly.
He Rui looked at the other person in surprise.
For a moment, I didn't know how to react. "I'm a real person, not from a book. I don't belong here. I don't have a role."
"You are not from the book, so why are you here?"
Ji Changqing put the teapot in his hand on the table with a "pa" sound, raised his thin lips slightly, and looked at the stupid expression on the man's face with a half-smile.
He Rui was instantly frozen by the protagonist's soul-questioning questions.
His CPU ran quickly as he began to think.
It was also when the protagonist mentioned it that he realized some details that he had not considered.
Now, he has entered the world of a novel. Can this novel still be considered a novel?
After all, he is not a character, he is a living person.
He can confirm that his thoughts and actions are not under his control. Then will the people in this book and this world still be controlled by the established plot of the original book?
Or, originally the world operated according to the text, but with my interference and him as a variable, the development of the novel has changed and become different from before.
After all, because of his existence and appearance, no matter what happened before, at least now, the world is out of control.
Fundamentally, from the moment the protagonist intersected with him, it was impossible for him to be a virtual character controlled by someone. After all, the plot had changed beyond recognition and no longer developed along the original main line, yet the protagonist still had his own will and could chat with him here.
The protagonist is free...
He Rui looked at the calm guy and felt very bad.
The other party was not hit by him, but instead felt a little emo.
So, apart from Ji Changqing, the others are also paper dummies.
He Rui took a deep breath. After the disaster, those who died...were they living people...
"That's all I have to say." The man suddenly threw out a closing remark.
He Rui felt a chill in his heart.
Judging from the other party's expression, I knew that today's play was almost over. It was a waste of words and I didn't get any closer to the protagonist.
He didn't get any victory at all.
"Oh, that's all." He Rui stood up depressedly and simply prepared to go back to 701 for lunch. He was no longer in the mood to continue hanging around the protagonist to make his presence felt.
Thinking about the takeaway I just threw away, the soup might have spilled, so I definitely can't ask the protagonist to eat with me.
"Then I'll be leaving first, Brother Ji. I won't bother you today." I'll report back tomorrow.
He Rui prepared to go back and take it easy.
After taking two steps, the protagonist behind him suddenly called out to him, "Why would you say such a thing?"
He Rui turned around and gave the man a strange look. "If you ask, I'll tell you. I came here to surrender, and I didn't intend to hide it from you."
Anyway, he is the only one here and no one cares whether what he says is confidential or not. He can just say whatever he wants to say and let it all out.
“.....”
The other party didn't respond, so He Rui walked out again in a depressed mood. When he was about to reach the door, he remembered something was wrong.
I had originally intended to bring back at least some news about the apocalypse today, but after he finished speaking, he just gave up and prepared to slip away.
He Rui turned around and trotted back to the protagonist, with a smug look on his face, trying to beg for favors. "Well, Brother Ji, I want to ask you something. Do you know that there's a Xixia Manor near Xiying Mountain?"
Thinking about how well the rich second-generation employees had taken care of him these past two days.
He Rui also wanted to do something for those people.
The man on the sofa nodded slightly, and from his expression he didn't seem annoyed that he ran back.
He Rui continued to ask, "Do you know if there will be earthquakes in that area after the apocalypse? Is that place safe?"
"Are you planning to move back?" Ji Changqing tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes gazing at the thin young man. "As far as I remember, that place didn't suffer an earthquake."
He Rui felt strange. From the protagonist's tone, it seemed as if he knew where the rich second generation originally lived.
He continued, "I don't know. It depends on the situation. If you keep ignoring me, I plan to follow you after the apocalypse."
He mainly wanted to ask on behalf of the employees whether that place was available for them to stay.
Ji Changqing was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect that this person would tell him such a plan directly.
He narrowed his eyes and his voice turned cold, "You can try it and see what the consequences will be."
"....." After being warned, He Rui felt even more uncomfortable.
"Although there weren't any earthquakes in that place, the reason I remember this place name is because it was occupied by a wave of evolvers after the apocalypse and became one of their strongholds."
He took a look at He Rui's eyebrows and eyes that were not covered by the mask.
Ji Changqing concluded in his heart that if this idiot went back and stayed in the manor, according to the original trajectory, even if this guy could survive the early stage of the apocalypse, his fate would not be good when he met the so-called evolvers later.
After all, with this kind of appearance, there is no reason for those guys who don't care about meat and vegetables to let it go.
