Chapter 119 Daily Life (XIX)
Countless meteors streaked across space.
They flickered on and off like a beating heart, leaving long, thin trails as they moved.
These trajectories were scattered everywhere, and for a moment, the entire lobby seemed like the universe.
Noticing their looks, Qu Ge asked perceptively: "Did you see the 'thing'?"
"Yes, but..." Mu Yu frowned and took a step forward.
A tiny meteor fell towards him.
Ye Sui and Jiang Shuyue were a little nervous, but Mu Yu stared at the meteor until it hit his body.
The people behind him saw the meteor pass through his back.
At this moment, Mu Yu trembled slightly, his pupils dilated - a picture flashed through his mind.
It was the scene in Yinghu Park where he was sitting on a rock and Lu Chongnian took off his red veil.
The scene is fleeting.
Then, another meteor passed through his left shoulder, and his high school classroom inexplicably emerged in his mind.
His eyes moved slightly, and he took several steps inside and came to the center.
Seeing how bold he was, everyone behind him followed him in.
Soon, Jiang Shuyue, Ye Sui, Yan Shaowen and Principal Dou all saw the scene in their minds.
"What is this?" Jiang Shuyue looked down at the countless tiny meteors that passed through his body, "Our memories?"
"No, I feel it still has something to do with the distortion of time and space here." Mu Yu expressed his judgment.
"Do you think these 'meteors' are fragments of time and space?" Ye Sui asked him.
"Yes, if it was just 'memories', these things shouldn't have attracted those people just now," Mu Yu turned around and said to them, "Don't you think they were all controlled by Him just now?"
Because there were irrelevant people present, Mu Yu was unable to say some words, but Ye Sui and the others understood.
He does not mean the Keeper, but the Thief.
They had judged that the skins of the dead players were left behind by the guardians, but the malicious looks from those people just now did not seem to come from the guardians at all.
The Thief seems to be able to control these skins as well, and why did He let those people come here?
Could it be that the problem of time and space distortion here is becoming more and more serious?
He seemed to be in a hurry, eager to solve some problem.
Yan Shaowen felt it calmly for a while, then pointed upwards and said, "Let's go to the third floor and have a look?"
Mu Yu: "Let's go."
The meteors on the third floor are more dense.
As soon as they stepped onto this floor, countless thin rays of light flew towards them from the front and went straight through their bodies.
For a moment, they felt as if their hearts were pierced by thousands of arrows, their bodies were stiff and they could not move.
Memories came flooding in and overlapped like a herd of horses galloping on the grassland, the clattering sounds overlapping, making it impossible to tell which pair of hooves made which sound.
Jiang Shuyue covered his forehead and his face turned pale. Ye Sui also frowned and felt a little nauseous.
As people who could not see the meteors at all, Qu Ge, Principal He and the group of security guards did not experience a similar situation. They only saw an ordinary corridor.
The security guards looked at each other in confusion and could only step forward to support Jiang Shuyue and Ye Sui who were obviously in discomfort.
Qu Ge and Principal He had different expressions.
Qu Ge pursed his lips, coughed softly, and looked around the space carefully.
Principal He walked up to his friend and asked, "So what did you see?"
"Some scenes from the past," Principal Dou opened his eyes and said, "If these meteor-like things are fragments of time and space, with His anxious attitude, I'm afraid these meteors will become more frequent in the next few days. When they become frequent to a certain degree——"
"What's going to happen?" he mused.
This sentence made everyone present tense up.
What could be the matter that makes him, a higher-dimensional being, so nervous...?
*
Because they were helpless against the meteors, they could only return to the first floor.
If the problem of time and space distortion becomes more serious, it will be difficult to predict what will happen. Yan Shaowen asked the security team to evacuate here.
Tomorrow he plans to call a technician to come over and connect the real-time monitoring cameras in several locations to his mobile phone, so that if those "ghosts" come back or if other abnormalities occur in the club, he will be able to discover them in time.
Then they checked all the doors and windows again before leaving.
Qu Ge coughed badly and had a heavy nasal sound. Mu Yu felt helpless: "Why do you have to come when you have such a severe cold?"
Qu Ge said hoarsely: "If it were you, would you be able to stop being curious?"
Mu Yu: "Well, if it doesn't involve my friend..."
"You also said that it won't involve friends." Qu Ge turned his eyes away.
Mu Yu paused.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide and blinked at the boy as if he had discovered a new continent.
Qu Ge felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he turned his face away even further. When he couldn't stand it anymore, he turned back, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
"What are you looking at?"
"Are we friends?" Mu Yu asked in a low voice.
Qu Ge was stiff: "...Aren't we?"
"I've always considered you a friend, but I don't know what you're thinking. I don't think you're the type to admit that anyone is your friend," Mu Yu was surprised and amused. "I didn't expect you to say that."
Qu Ge: “…Now you heard it.”
Mu Yu pressed the issue further: "Say it again? I didn't hear that sentence clearly, can I listen carefully to this one?"
Qu Ge's face turned red, and he became angry and said, "...that's enough!"
On the other side, Principal He was also expressing his dissatisfaction to his friend because he wanted to "join in", but Principal Dou did not allow him.
"It's really not a fun thing, He Yan. You're already old, stop making trouble."
"If I'm 'old' then what are you?!"
Watching Principal He being stuffed into the car by Principal Dou, Qu Ge stopped and coughed softly a few times.
After coughing, he took a breath, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Are you really not going to get me to join you? Principal He also said that one more head means one more idea."
He glanced at Mu Yu.
The boy next to him stood in the night.
The cold wind blew his black hair, and a faint smile hung on his lips.
"If you were chosen naturally, then I have nothing to say, but if not," Mu Yu said, "Qu Ge, stop."
*
Three days later, another world.
One o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Zhongnian packed the things he wanted to take away in the dormitory, zipped up his backpack, then leaned his hands on the desk and sighed.
What came back to my mind was what happened a few days ago.
…
At that time, it was garbage street.
He stood at the door of a Huajia vermicelli shop, looking at the large and small photos of Mu Yu everywhere in the store, the countless curious customers taking photos, and Gao Zhanyuan who was distributing Mu Yu cards with his younger brother, and fell into unprecedented confusion.
The reason he came here was because Yan Shaowen sent him a photo on WeChat and told him that "Mu Yu" was popular in the university town.
The reason why he was confused was that a few days ago, when he handed over the letter written by Gao Zhanyuan in another world to Gao Zhanyuan in this world, the boy who had forgotten his elder brother and still had hostility towards him in his body, his first reaction was:
"Lu Zhongnian, are you sick? Why are you learning my handwriting?!"
The second reaction is -
"Ha, I have an elder brother? Are you kidding me? I, Gao Zhanyuan, never acknowledge an elder brother!"
At this moment, when the younger brother next to Gao Zhanyuan saw him and ran over to say hello, the younger brother whispered in his ear about Gao Zhanyuan's third reaction after he left that day.
Gao Zhanyuan shook his hand in disdain and wanted to throw away the envelope, but unexpectedly two photos floated out of it.
He bent down suspiciously to pick it up, then turned it over and took a look.
He immediately knelt down on his knees and shouted in shock:
“——Brother?!”
…
Lu Zhongnian: “…………”
It is a good thing that Mu Yu's influence can be expanded in this world.
But in this way...
He thought calmly that he must not let Mu Yu know.
When Gao Zhanyuan saw him again, his face looked awkward.
He came over awkwardly and said, "I believe what's written in the letter, but you still have a lot to explain to me. The most important thing is, how did you get to that world?"
His voice was low and furtive in the last half of the sentence.
Lu Zhongnian could only answer: "I don't know the specific method, He just chose me."
Gao Zhanyuan raised his eyebrows: "Then why did the me in that world write to me? Just to let me know about this?"
"For Mu Yu."
Gao Zhanyuan was choked, looking aggrieved: "...Then I can't do anything else?"
Lu Zhongnian suddenly asked: "Have you remembered everything about Mu Yu?"
"Not yet. I can only remember a few bits and pieces..."
"As long as you can remember it all, you've helped us."
Gao Zhanyuan's face was tense, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the answer.
Then, his eyes wandered and his gaze suddenly fell behind Lu Zhongnian.
Lu Chongnian turned his head sharply and was stunned.
There were two people standing behind him.
A man and a woman.
The man was the one he was planning to visit in the next two days...
It’s Mu Chenxi.
The woman next to him was only slightly shorter than him, but she was quite tall compared to her peers, about 1.75 meters tall.
She was wearing a smart women's suit, had a neat ponytail, and had fresh makeup on her face.
His eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Mu Chenxi and Mu Yu. He has a pair of peach blossom eyes. Although they are a very sweet shape, his eyes are calm and sharp. He looks as powerful as Mu Chenxi.
Lu Zhongnian immediately had a rough guess about the identity of this woman.
But no matter what, Mu Chenxi's uninvited visit still exceeded his expectations.
"Are you here to eat noodles? There are no empty seats in the store right now. How about you two wait for a while?" Gao Zhanyuan greeted them as guests, "Shall I get you two stools?"
"No, we're not here to eat. We just saw it online, so we came over to ask," Mu Chenxi raised his eyes and scanned the Mu Yu poster in the store, "Do you know this person named Mu Yu?"
Gao Zhanyuan was stunned: "...You know him too?"
"Can we meet with him?" the woman asked in a deep, magnetic voice.
Gao Zhanyuan was a little stuck: "No, who are you?"
Lu Zhongnian took a step forward and said, "If you want to know about Mu Yu, follow me."
…
That day.
Gao Zhanyuan said something to his cousin and followed them eagerly.
Mu Chenxi and the man named Mu Chenxing, who should be Sister Mu Yu's man, looked at each other and stopped asking questions. They asked Lu Chongnian to lead the way.
They came to his dormitory, and he took out the paper that Mu Chenxi from another world had given him from the drawer.
That was what Mu Chenxi gave him before the end of the evening study session.
[To awaken the me in that world, just one sentence is enough. 】
Having said this, the man wrote down a sentence, tore off the paper, folded it in half, and handed it to him.
And that evening, in the dormitory, he handed the paper to Mu Chenxi of this world.
When Mu Chenxi took it, he was still looking at him inquiringly.
Then, his eyes fell on the paper.
He unfolded the letter in front of everyone.
There was only one sentence written on it.
【Mu Yu is your younger brother. 】
With just this one sentence, the dormitory was silent for a full minute.
…Then, the two men accepted the paper with unexpected calmness.
Mu Chenxi gave him a mobile phone number and said, "I don't know what exactly you are facing, but if a 'special situation' occurs, please contact us immediately."
Lu Zhongnian frowned and said, "That happened in another world. Currently, no one can get there except me."
"It doesn't matter."
The two men showed no confusion or fear when they heard any unfamiliar words, as if they had made up their minds to accept whatever they encountered and face any danger.
They stood in the sunset, and the two pairs of sharp eyes reminded Lu Chongnian of Mu Yu.
"No matter what, we have to see with our own eyes what is going on."
…
Time goes back to this moment.
There is no calendar in this world, and dates only exist in people's oral statements. Lu Chongnian remembers that today is December 13th.
Almost a month has passed since the last evening study session ended.
The interval was unexpectedly long, which seemed to imply that some major changes were about to happen.
And today, he finally had a premonition that the copy was coming.
Do you want to contact Mu Chenxi and Mu Chenxing?
Lu Zhongnian rubbed his eyes.
By the way, there is also a far-sighted one.
That guy was also present that day. After hearing what Mu Chenxi said, he immediately said that he would take him with him.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Chongnian put down his hand.
...Forget it. Anyway, he is the only one who can go to the other world.
If they want to follow, let them follow.
After making two phone calls and informing the destination of his trip, he went downstairs.
He went back home a few days ago and drove back, and he planned to drive there today as well.
As soon as he sat in the driver's seat, a figure flashed outside the car, and then the passenger door was opened and Yan Shaowen got in.
Lu Zhongnian had a headache again: "What are you doing here?"
"That's why I asked you, what are you going to do? Recently, 'Mu Yu' has become more and more famous, and your whereabouts have become more and more secretive." Yan Shaowen looked inquiring.
"It's not something you would be interested in." Lu Zhongnian started the car.
"How do you know I wouldn't be interested if you haven't tried it?"
Lu Zhongnian glanced at him.
Yan Shaowen received this look and raised his eyebrows: "Ah, you do know, so, how did you know?"
...This is also a sharp person.
Yan Shaowen from that world did not ask Mu Yu to pass on any letters, but Lu Chongnian could guess what he was thinking.
Perhaps he felt that in this world, he didn't need any reminders and could guess the core issue.
Lu Zhongnian looked away. Forget it. It doesn’t matter whether he brings three people or four people. There is no difference…
So he drove out of the dormitory area.
His quick and decisive compromise seemed to make Yan Shaowen even more interested.
The man looked at him for a few seconds, then looked forward: "Where are you going?"
"Medical University."
"Why there?"
"You'll find out when you get there."
Yan Shaowen snorted meaningfully.
Then he was quiet for a while and said, "There's always a sense of urgency lately."
"I don't know why, but I just feel like an important moment is about to come."
