Chapter 29 I can’t afford the compensation!
It is difficult to tell whether this cup of "At least we are together now" is a drink or wine.
From the appearance, it is very similar to the mechanical bartender in front of it, so it has a sense of novelty in the wine glass. The orange-yellow liquid inside was as calm as the setting sun, and it seemed to be just a drink without any bubbling alcohol.
Xing seemed to be very familiar with this. After sitting down next to me, he asked the bartender for a glass of wine as soon as possible.
She seemed to be used to the new cup, so she drank it all in one gulp and said happily, "Great!"
Under Walter's gaze, she eagerly picked up the second cup and said loudly, "Come on, General, I'll toast you a glass!"
After saying that, Xing clinked his glasses and drank again.
Just as she was about to touch the third cup, Walter immediately stood up and walked over to hold her down, "You've already drunk a lot today."
Xing looked over at me pitifully, as if hoping to get a few more drinks by taking advantage of my presence as a guest.
"Drink in moderation." I deliberately put my hand over the cup in front of me to express my firm attitude.
Unexpectedly, Xing was particularly surprised and said, "Wine? But this is just a zero-alcohol drink."
Xing scratched his head embarrassedly, "If you drink too much, it may cause excessive sugar intake. But including the two cups just now, I only drank seven cups today!"
Seven cups? It was understandable that he was stopped by Mr. Walter. But...why did you drink so much just now?
It turns out that we can’t use common sense to speculate about the pioneers. I pressed my eyebrows helplessly, and suddenly began to doubt the correctness of my decision.
"Sorry, I was prejudiced." I raised the cup in front of me, "Well, this is my apology."
I drank the orange liquid in it, both as a response and to stop her from drinking it again.
Xing blinked curiously, then blinked again. After repeating this dozens of times, he finally couldn't help but ask, "So, how does it taste?"
"How does it feel?" I recalled the taste and answered truthfully, "Like water, no special taste."
Xing's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out a pen and paper from his back to record it. At the same time, he said excitedly as if he had discovered the truth of the world: "It turns out to be the most ordinary and common water! Doesn't that mean that if you are about to die of thirst and have no water to drink, you can choose to drink this?!"
Although I really want to explain: maybe it’s because I’m still having a fever, so the drink tastes a little bland.
But given Xing's current train of thought, it would be better to just let her be happy.
——To this day, we still don’t know how the condition of “having drinks but no water and about to die of thirst” was achieved.
Taking advantage of Xing's rare quiet time to take notes, Walter began to explain: "The same drink will taste different under different circumstances. Some people think it is as fresh as glass, some think it is as sweet as a dream, and some think it is as bitter as tree bark."
He stared at me with a steady gaze, and said meaningfully, "General, do you really think it's just like a glass of water?"
I don't know what he wants to ask, but... "What's wrong with plain water? Compared to others, it fades away all the complicated colors and irreconcilable tastes. It is undoubtedly the best choice for those who are thirsty."
"But it only needs a tiny boost to be re-dyed." Walter picked up a cup of coffee and poured it into the water.
The rich brown spread through the water, gradually fading, but still coloring the entire glass of water. They became one and could never be separated.
I stared at the colorful light reflected from the glass and felt a sense of boredom and powerlessness for no reason. As if I was escaping from it, I felt a little sleepy, but this was not a place to sleep, not to mention that I had not yet finished what I came here to do.
Wait a little longer, until they are no longer wary of me, and until I have enough time alone...
The light from the chandelier filled my blurry vision. I saw Xing put away his pen and paper with satisfaction after finishing his record. I saw Mr. Walter still waiting for my response.
......I saw blood suddenly burst out from the person in front of me and dripped silently.
I was instantly awakened from my hazy consciousness.
"Mr. Walter." I looked at the intact Walter with doubt, then suppressed the throbbing in my heart and smiled, "Maybe you are right. Water is indeed changeable."
I was cheated.
Just as the scene I saw just now did not exist, the Jing Yuan I saw at that time was just a phantom.
Or to be more precise, it is the real Jing Yuan, but it is different from the state I projected in my mind.
Yes...if Jingyuan's problem is really that serious, how could Yanqing be indifferent to it? And how could "Yan Qing" not know the reason for my abnormal mood?
Therefore, all of this is an illusion deliberately created in order to obtain the whereabouts of that information.
"It's not creation, just a little influence and interference." It answered truthfully, as if the use just now did not exist.
"Ha." I couldn't help but laugh at myself.
Memories are false, vision is unreliable, and even sounds are deceiving me. It's not just a fog in front of your eyes, but you are completely in the fog, unable to figure out the direction or know your position.
It's bright and clear everywhere here, but it successfully made me feel like I was in Heguan.
Intellectually, I shouldn't believe anything this voice says anymore. But at the same time, I couldn't help but think, its first behavior was perfect and flawless, so why did it show up in front of me a second time?
This is undoubtedly an act that does not make up for the loss.
What is its purpose? Or was it just a "good-hearted" move on his part, that after learning that all the information had disappeared, he randomly found someone to show me his skills, and "kindly" told me: Don't worry, Jing Yuan is fine?
...How absurd and ridiculous.
"General, are you drunk?" Xing, who had no idea what had just happened, waved in front of me, "Hey, hey, hey? General, can you still see what time it is?"
I skipped over Xing's fingers that were so fast that they left afterimages, and apologized, "I'm sorry, if you don't mind, I might faint first."
"Ah?" Even though Xing had been in the abstract world for so long, she had never heard of anyone coming to apologize before fainting.
——Especially since this person is General Jingyuan!
Xing asked in disbelief: "General, are you serious?"
Before she could finish her words, she heard a thud and "Jing Yuan"'s head hit the bar counter.
It’s over. What if such a precious head becomes stupid? This was Xing's first thought.
The second thought was: Oh no, Dan Heng is the real estate of the train, and General Jing Yuan is probably also the real estate of Luofu.
This will definitely lead to serious compensation issues!
