Forty-eight
"How come you have time to come and drink with me today?" The drunkard said after glancing at Yun Qi.
Yunqi did not answer, but leaned his head on the window with a sad face, looking down, staring at the street lights in a daze.
He had been looking for Ling Junyan during the day, and now he was in a complicated mood, so he specially invited the drunkard to come to the restaurant he often stayed in. As expected of a person who loved drinking, the place he found was really good, especially suitable for feeling melancholy.
"oi, you asked me over here and you don't want to drink?"
Yun Qi turned his head to look at him, then shifted his gaze, slowly reached out to pick up the wine jug, tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.
The drunkard just stood there in a daze, holding the wine glass.
Today I finally wanted to be elegant for once and not drink from a big bowl, but the guy opposite me was acting abnormally.
But there is another reason. This wine is too strong...
"Hey! You...you drink more gently!" After saying that, the drunkard was worried that Yunqi couldn't bear it, so he leaned over to grab the wine jug.
Yun Qi accurately predicted his action. When the drunkard's hand was only half an inch away from the pot, he pulled the pot back and let go, and the pot fell to the ground with a clink.
Empty.
The drunkard sighed, then sat back down helplessly, saying, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, drink if you want. At worst, I'll ask that guy to take you back later."
When mentioning that person, Yunqi felt even more upset.
"Why wouldn't he agree?"
The drunkard didn't know what was happening and didn't understand.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yunqi bent down, supported his forehead, and closed his eyes for a while. As expected, the alcohol was taking effect and he couldn't adapt for a while.
He said wearily, "I just...wanted to sleep with him, but...why didn't he want to..."
The drunkard spat out the wine he had just drunk, and then quickly raised his arm and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"What lewd words! I'll get you a hangover pill later. If you can't handle alcohol, don't force yourself to drink. We're in this... this... what kind of place is Yue? Talking nonsense can only lead to trouble."
Yun Qi smiled and asked, "What name are you going to give this medicine this time?"
"What's the name? Hangover Pills, that's not right..."
The drunkard suddenly remembered that he still needed to guide the audience, so he made up one on the spot. "Of course there's another name, it's called... Color TV Dan!"
Yun Qi burst out laughing, then opened his eyes and looked at him, commenting, "That's not up to par."
"Then pick one for me to hear!" The drunkard was still not convinced that someone who knew nothing dared to question him.
Yun Qi thought for a moment and said, "Why not call it... GUIDE."
The drunkard shuddered violently, leaned on the table with both hands and stood up slowly in disbelief.
"you…"
Yun Qi looked at him calmly.
The drunkard asked excitedly, "Did you remember everything?"
Yunqi nodded naturally.
This made the drunkard very happy. He quickly stood up, took out a small bottle from his waist, poured out a pill and handed it to Yunqi.
"Hurry up, eat this, and you'll be able to go back in less than three days."
Yunqi stared at the medicine and did not move.
"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to be able to go back?"
Yun Qi: "So you are really a consciousness guide."
The drunkard said directly: "Yes, I am."
Yun Qi: "What about the Imperial Master?"
Drunkard: “He too.”
Yun Qi: "Well, I have something to ask you."
Since everything has been successful, the drunkard has nothing to worry about. "Ask ahead."
"From what I understand, you're providing one-on-one guidance to the seriously injured. Your target is me, and the one the Imperial Master is guiding is Ling Junyan?"
"Oh, you already know all this. You guessed it right. You're smart."
"So what's his current situation? How long will it take for him to remember?"
The drunkard was a little tired of standing, and seeing Yun Qi asking so many questions, he had to sit back down.
"As you can see, he hasn't revealed any of our characteristics. Furthermore, the Imperial Master has been here for nearly three years, while I've only been here for less than a year. This means his injuries are far more serious than yours. It might be difficult for him to remember them in the short term."
"Okay, I understand. What about you? Can you go back now?"
The drunkard replied, "As long as you remember everything, I can come back anytime. I also have a special elixir that lasts for three days. Essentially, it just tells the people outside that the job is done, and they can just do something about it."
"Where's the Imperial Master? Will Ling Junyan need to stay for much longer?"
The drunkard waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, he asked for help before, so I applied for a forced bond with him before I came here. If you get better, we can both go back."
Yun Qi was surprised to hear this. "Can you still ask for help?"
"Of course. We have to be protected. Otherwise, if you don't remember us, we won't be able to go back. The risk is too great. Although I have enough confidence in my professionalism, saving one and losing two is something we must avoid."
"What if... someone dies here during the process?"
The drunkard sighed, "If it's one of us, we'll need another guide to rescue us, but the difficulty factor is extremely high, and it's basically impossible to succeed. If it's one of you who's being guided, then we're really doomed."
Hearing this, Yun Qi's heart suddenly tightened, "Is there no other possibility?"
"Maybe there is, but after all, for people like us who have inserted ourselves into this, the technology is not yet mature, so we have to slowly explore it."
Yun Qi lowered his eyes and clenched his fists unconsciously.
Seeing that he stopped talking, the drunkard thought he had finished asking questions and was about to hand him the pill.
Yun Qi said, "Bring two more pots."
"What? You're still drinking?"
In the end, the drunkard couldn't persuade him anymore, so he asked someone to serve him two more pots.
After finishing another pot, Yunqi wanted to ask more questions.
The drunkard rushed over and said, "Let me first explain to you what you were confused about. You said before that you knew the male and female protagonists. That was all the so-called story line made up by this world to disturb you and keep you. But later, because of your awakening and your extra feelings for him, the story line changed a little.
In other words, the original heroine has become you, and Ling... well, you just need to know who he is. He is controlled by the red line in his body. It is because he was seriously injured that he did things that he did not want to do at all.
But your situation is not as serious as his, and it is difficult to control, so some external control factors arise, which are the supernatural forces you encounter. As for what you said about suddenly knowing something when there was thunder and lightning that day, it was probably a coincidence. Maybe you were scared by the thunder. The fact that you always have headaches and can predict what will happen next, I think, is that in the process of constantly breaking the constraints of your thinking, you have explored the story line in advance.
Anything else you want to ask? Oh, by the way, the things you can change are generally the things you come into contact with in your daily life…"
The drunkard suddenly realized he'd said something wrong and quickly said, "But we don't know what you do. We don't even know your basic identity information. We only know if you're male or female and what you look like. Even if we could guess a little, we wouldn't tell anyone. You're a really good confidentiality expert."
Yun Qi was dizzy, but he listened to the whole thing. He asked, "You're explaining it in such detail, aren't you afraid that it might reveal your internal working principles and affect you?"
The drunk man calmly shook his messy hair and said, "What are you afraid of? You'll forget about it when you get back."
Yun Qi: "...will you forget?"
The drunkard nodded. "Otherwise, it would disrupt our normal lives. But we won't do that. After all, we still need to accumulate experience. That's why many people see psychologists. Some even don't want to do it again after doing it once. Sigh, it's not easy."
After that, he picked up the remaining pot and poured himself some wine.
Yun Qi looked at him and said, "Medical care is already very advanced nowadays. Have you ever thought about the significance of what you are doing?"
Hearing this, the drunkard's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he finally remembered why he had done all this.
Then he replied clearly, "Guiding the body's powerful self-repair function."
Before Yun Qi could respond, he suddenly smiled and said, "Do you think it's too wild? It doesn't matter..."
The origin of everything is fantastic, isn't it?
However, Yunqi did not question this purpose. He reached out and snatched the last pot of wine that the drunkard had taken and held it in his hand.
"This is the first time I've seen you so serious. I wish you success, but this wine... belongs to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Qi stood up unsteadily under the drunkard's surprised gaze.
Then he said "See you later" and walked towards the door, and every step seemed to be stepping on cotton.
This wine really has something special.
The drunk man finally reacted and shouted towards the door: "Hey, no? Medicine! Take the medicine first!"
By the time he chased after her, she was gone. The drunkard scanned the bustling streets, held his waist, sighed, and muttered, "How can he be so agile even when drunk? He's just pretending, right?"
