Chapter 340 Reincarnation
The
old glass door made a slight sound when it was pushed open, breaking the tranquility of the bookstore.
But...
the silver-haired girl sitting on the chair and the black cat next to her still stayed quietly in a corner of the bookstore, without any sign of looking up.
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the refreshing breeze in the bookstore, while walking towards the direction of the black cat and the girl.
"Hello, may I ask..."
As soon as the words came out, the girl who was concentrating on reading slowly raised her head and looked at Chen Fan.
The moment he saw the girl's face, Chen Fan felt a jolt in his heart.
In the girl's left eye socket, there was a mechanical eye - she was a disabled person.
Looking at the light blue light flashing in the flexible mechanical eye, Chen Fan felt a stronger sense of familiarity.
But...
where had he seen this girl before?
Chen Fan swallowed his original words and subconsciously changed the question: "Um... have we met somewhere before?"
The girl tilted her head, her lifeless eyes full of confusion: "?"
"Okay, okay." The young woman behind him urged, "Your pick-up routine is too old-fashioned, be careful not to scare my customers away!"
Chen Fan laughed dumbly and pointed at the black cat beside him: "Sorry, it's a bit abrupt."
"I just want to ask, do you know this cat...?"
The girl looked sideways, looked at the black cat lying on the ground, and slowly shook her head.
Seeing this, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief: I was lucky, at least there was no unnecessary trouble.
He squatted down and carefully stretched out his right hand to the black cat - past experience told him that these kittens who yearn for freedom are not easy to get along with.
Unexpectedly, the black cat with a glove pattern on its back did not dislike his outstretched right hand.
On the contrary, the black cat raised its head and gently rubbed the back of Chen Fan's hand.
Chen Fan was delighted and quickly took the black cat into his arms. In his memory, this should be the easiest commission.
The living expenses for the next half month were settled.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan's smile brightened.
He thanked the woman with a high ponytail and walked out of the bookstore with the black cat in his arms.
The moment he pushed open the door of the bookstore, Chen Fan couldn't help but glance at the silver-haired girl who was still sitting on the chair and the high-ponytailed woman who returned to the bookstore counter.
That inexplicable sense of familiarity surged into his heart again.
Chen Fan shook his head, put the strange feeling in his heart behind him, and walked out of the bookstore.
...
Fanchuang Information Consulting Co., Ltd.
It's called a company, but it's actually an old rental house with a sign that says [Open to the public] - the job of a private detective is not very well-known, so Chen Fan naturally couldn't publicize his job.
He struggled to pull up the dilapidated roller shutter door, pushed open the somewhat turbid glass door and entered his studio and bedroom.
The messy paper documents were spread out on the table very casually. There was even a bowl of unfinished Kangshoufu instant noodles in the corner of the table. The air in the room was as turbid as the glass door.
Chen Fan casually threw the black cat in his arms on a pile of paper documents, and then turned around to look for the client's information.
But...
one minute, two minutes...
ten minutes later, Chen Fan slumped in a boss chair with a face full of doubts about life. The cold wind from the air conditioner beside him could not lower his temperature at this time.
Red temperature, this time it was completely red temperature-the cat was indeed found, but he couldn't find the client's information!
Sitting on the chair, Chen Fan frowned and carefully recalled what happened yesterday.
For some reason, he couldn't remember the client's real face and contact information. The only thing he remembered was the idea of finding a cat that appeared in his mind "out of thin air" early in the morning.
"This is fucking..." Chen Fan raised his hand and scratched his head irritably, "It's too weird, right?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of the two women he saw in the bookstore.
There was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but there was no information about the two people in my memory.
Just like this commission.
Thinking back carefully, the silver-haired girl also had a bit of weirdness - not to mention the rare silver long hair, just the mechanical artificial eye that flashed with blue light, can this thing really be made by existing technology?
Chen Fan shuddered slightly and turned to look at the black cat who was already lying on the table to rest.
Perhaps it noticed Chen Fan's gaze, and the black cat slowly opened its eyes.
The moment the man and the cat looked at each other, a faint electronic synthesized voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind:
"Warning! Brain activity is about to exceed the controllable range..."
As the electronic synthesized voice sounded, a dark, deep tower filled with various green and red lights flashed before his eyes.
"...Fuck?!"
Chen Fan suddenly came back to his senses, and with a look of horror, he reached out and touched his back.
He was covered in cold sweat.
"..." He swallowed hard, the panic in his eyes reached its peak, "Weird, too, too weird..."
He turned his head to look at the setting sun outside the door, and with a ruthless heart, he picked up the black cat from the desk, turned around and threw it out of the glass door.
If he can't afford to offend, can't he hide? !
Watching the black cat slowly walk away, Chen Fan felt a little relieved.
A few hours later, after dealing with various remaining matters, Chen Fan fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
...
The next day.
The harsh cicada sounds and waves of heat came to his face, and Chen Fan even heard the roar of some car engines.
He opened his eyes suddenly, but was stunned by the scene in front of him - at this time, he was standing under the shade of the tree, holding the dry trunk of the ancient tree with one hand, as if he was about to faint from the heat.
"What the hell?"
Chen Fan rubbed his eyes hard, and his drowsy mind suddenly became clear: "What the hell is going on? Didn't I fall asleep?"
"Detective Fan, what case did you receive today?"
A familiar voice came from the side, attracting Chen Fan's attention - the young woman he had just seen yesterday was pushing open the door of the bookstore and waving at him with a smile on her face.
"Just to find a restless kitten..."
Before Chen Fan recovered from his shock, familiar yet unfamiliar words came out unconsciously.
What the hell? !
Chen Fan, who realized what he had just said, was even more shocked.
The world line was reset? !
He, a street-failed private detective, could actually encounter such a thing? ! !
In order to verify his guess, Chen Fan subconsciously stepped forward. Amid the exclamation of the high-ponytailed woman, he eagerly pushed open the door of the bookstore and entered.
The silver-haired girl and the black cat stayed quietly in a corner of the bookstore.
Sure enough.
Looking at the identical scene in the bookstore, Chen Fan's guess was completely verified.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
The high-ponytailed woman seemed a little angry and questioned Chen Fan in a low voice.
"This cat... seems to be the cat I'm looking for." Chen Fan, who was in a state of turmoil, pointed to the black cat on the ground and said casually.
"Huh?" The high-ponytailed woman exclaimed softly, muttering to herself, "Where did the kitten come from?"
"Has another cat gone missing around here?"
Chen Fan's heart trembled slightly when he heard the familiar words.
Again?
For some reason, when Chen Fan heard the word "again", he had an extremely bad feeling in his mind.
At the same time, the black cat that had been lying on the ground raised its head and glanced at Chen Fan.
The moment the two looked at each other, an inexplicable feeling of dizziness surged into Chen Fan's heart, and the strange voice he heard last night rang again.
"Warning! The investigator's brain activity has exceeded the controllable range!"
The strange tower flashing with blue and red light appeared in front of Chen Fan again. It was slightly different from last night. This time, the blue and red light around was flashing violently, and countless machines with fangs and claws that could not be called out were grabbing towards his position!
Not only that, a faint, inaudible and obscure murmur inexplicably emerged in his mind.
"Chen Fan?" The concerned voice of the high-ponytailed woman came from the side, pulling Chen Fan out of the illusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Fan looked at the high-ponytailed woman in front of him in confusion, and countless similar scenes flashed through his mind.
The same bookstore, the same time...
Day after day, the same conversation is repeated every day!
However, starting from the middle-aged woman at the beginning, the other party's appearance seemed to be affected by something, and gradually turned into the high-ponytailed young woman in front of him!
Looking at the high-ponytailed woman who reached out to him, Chen Fan took a half step back in horror: "You..."
He didn't know how to describe this feeling.
No wonder the other party said "again"!
He has experienced the same scene countless times! !
It's like a movie that keeps repeating, and he is trapped in this reincarnation and keeps repeating the same life and experience!
"Warning!!"
The weird electronic synthesized voice was a little anxious: "The investigator is about to enter a deep resonance state! Trying to force awaken!!"
Chen Fan shook his head vigorously and rushed out.
I don't know when the blazing sun disappeared, and the unique summer heat also dissipated.
Between heaven and earth, there was an inexplicable and familiar green-red light.
Chen Fan stopped abruptly and looked up at the sky.
"This..."
His voice stagnated, and he stared at the horrifying scene in the sky with a trembling heart - the original position of the sun was replaced by a huge mechanical ball.
There was a clearly visible rock-gray scar on the surface of the mechanical ball. The scar was uneven and looked like a mountain range.
And the green-red light that diffused between heaven and earth came from this giant mechanical ball! !
Behind him, the door of the bookstore opened with a bang, and the black cat with a hand-held pattern on its back jumped to Chen Fan's right hand, opened its mouth and let out a hiss: "Warning!!"
"The investigator has entered a deep resonance state!!"
Chen Fan suddenly realized
that the faint electronic synthesized sound came from the black cat in front of him!
