Chapter 26 The World is a Huge Cage
The strange herbal smells overlapped each other, each emitting a different extreme. I originally wanted to sleep a little longer, but the smell was so different that it woke me up from my sleepy nap.
I opened my eyes, propped myself up with my arms and tried to get up, but after a few flutters, I found myself only able to sit up against the head of the bed and stare at the beams in a daze.
It’s not that I don’t want to get up, but my body is just as sore as when I woke up the next day after not exercising for a whole school year and suddenly took a physical test.
——Especially the arms.
Damn it, I want to protest! I'm going to sue Liu Yu!
Let's not talk about "Dan Heng" who can switch between two weapons at will, let's just talk about "Yan Qing" and "Ren" who also use swords. It's obvious that they have been using them for much longer than me, but they don't seem to have any sequelae!
As I was thinking with deep resentment, I saw Yan Qing walking to the door and preparing to knock.
You came at the right time! Since I was in so much pain all over my body, I had to give up the "assassination" and said bitterly, "I hate you."
Yan Qing stopped raising his hand immediately, and he subconsciously looked back, but there was no one there. Then he turned around and tentatively asked, "General?"
...Oh no, every time I woke up before, I saw my own people first, which led to the preconceived notion now.
"Yanqing?" I coughed lightly, retracting the evil ghost-like resentment around me, pretending to have just seen him and asked, "Does Jingyuan have any news to tell me?"
For example, he changed his mind and agreed to my plan? Or something else would be fine.
"The general didn't send me here, I just wanted to come and take a look." Yan Qing said worriedly.
Although he answered my question and didn't seem to want to ask any further questions, I always felt that Yanqing's mind was still on those three words.
Oh no, he wouldn't think I was talking to him, would he?
If I directly praise him to make up for it, Yanqing shouldn't think that I'm trying to cover up something, right? Or try to change the subject?
Just as I was struggling, Yan Qing suddenly said, "And..."
"Hmm?" I responded a little nervously, afraid that he would ask the same question as the one in the illusion: Did Yanqing do something wrong?
However, Yan Qing did not mention these, but just said in confusion, "Miss March Seven sent this letter, but I don't quite understand it."
The letter sent on March 7? I took the envelope in confusion and found that the outermost layer indeed said: Xianzhou Luofu - To Jingyuan.
Although the envelope had been opened, I still didn't open it right away. I just asked, "Are you sure this is for me?"
No matter how you think about it, it's more likely to be Jingyuan!
However, Yan Qing shook his head and explained, "This is something that suddenly appeared in March 7's room. It is not a letter given to the general by the Starry Sky Train."
He pointedly looked at the opened seal and apologized, "I originally thought this was for the general."
But even if the letter wasn't sent from the Star Train, how can I be sure it's for me?
I took out the letter paper inside, unfolded it and found only a short sentence printed on it: The world is a huge cage, and so is time.
There was no signature at the end, and the back of the letter was also blank, clean and tidy, as if the sender was sure that this one sentence was enough for people to understand.
So I can only turn my attention back to that sentence. This is a very coherent sentence and does not look like ciphertext that can be further parsed.
But...isn't this really a philosophical saying written by someone? I thought about it and decided to start with the people I had come into contact with.
If the sender was sure that I could understand something from this sentence, then there would be no deliberate roundabout way of delivering the letter. Otherwise, he should have put the letter directly in Luofu, or appeared in time when I received the letter.
Therefore, this person is not in Luofu at this time, and conversely, the Starry Sky Train is an easy place for him to enter.
Visitors invited to the Star Train? I subconsciously recalled the message record book in the Starry Sky Train. If I really counted them, there were too many visitors.
However, from a practical point of view, the Starry Sky Train is now docked in Luofu, and there will be no visitors from other places logging in, so the train of thought returns to the starting point.
...Or maybe this person can enter and leave Luofu freely and board the train without any hindrance, but for some reason he cannot show up in person.
While I was thinking, there were two knocks at the door.
The door that was already open was knocked, and the person who came was the new Si Ding Lingsha of Dan Ding Si.
I subconsciously folded the letter again and put it back into the envelope.
Lingsha noticed my avoidance and had no intention of exploring the content, so she stopped at a distance and observed: "It seems that you have recovered quite well. Or rather, a little too well."
Although Lingsha arrived at the right time, judging from her current performance, she did not seem to be the sender.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that she was performing deliberately.
After making sure that I had put the envelope away, Lingsha took a few steps closer. She twitched her nose slightly, then frowned and felt it carefully: "Your scent is very complex. The top note is fresh and elegant, like pine resin; the middle note is dull and bitter, more like a traveler before a rainstorm; the base note is light and slightly sweet. You are tired of everything, but you still enjoy it?"
"......?" I lowered my head and smelled myself, but I didn't smell anything except the messy herbal smell in the room, let alone such a detailed layering. "Maybe it's your illusion."
Lingsha smiled disapprovingly, but did not mention it again. Instead, he turned to look at Yanqing and said, "I think you haven't forgotten that you are also a patient who needs to be recuperated?"
Yan Qing, who had indeed forgotten, said: "...Actually, I have more important things to do."
"As far as I know, everything has come to an end for now..." Lingsha paused, "But I know you are not the kind of person who would lie just to avoid trouble, so I won't ask you about the reason for now, but you must remember to take the medicine."
Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Si Ding."
"......" I looked at Yan Qing who was relaxed, and I always felt that something was wrong. "Yan Qing, have you read the contents of this letter?"
Yanqing looked at me somewhat stiffly. He remained silent and did not answer, but this was already an answer.
Perhaps feeling that what was to follow was not something he could listen to, Lingsha silently left the room.
"You have read the letter, and you said before that Jingyuan didn't ask you to come..." I sighed, finally able to confirm the inconsistency, "So, Jingyuan didn't see the letter, why?"
