Everyone has dreams, but for some people with special powers, dreams are more than just dreams.
After Li Shengru dreamed of his younger brother that day, he handed over the task at hand to his clansmen and booked a flight directly to S City.
After getting off the plane, we headed straight to the city center.
The land price in S City is extremely high, but more than ten years ago, someone with a lot of money built a Taoist temple in the city center.
There aren't many people who really believe in it these days. Most people don't even know which three pure ones there are, let alone worship them. But surprisingly, although everyone looked down on this Taoist temple during the period of its construction, it attracted a lot of people after it was completed.
The main reason is that this Taoist temple is beautifully built and the entrance fee is low. After a while, it became a famous Internet celebrity check-in spot in S City. Many people come to take photos during the day, and in the evening, it is dominated by uncles and aunts. And because the ticket price can be halved as long as you go to the main hall to worship, it seems to be very popular over the years, and it seems to be not much worse than the famous Qingyun Temple and Sanqing Temple.
However, for most people, the so-called worship is just a formality. They don’t even know which venerable deity is enshrined inside. When calling friends online, they sometimes mistakenly call it a “temple”.
Li Shengru, who was carrying her bag and heading straight to Changsheng Temple at this moment, was the "stupid but rich" person, and she had never built this Taoist temple for the sake of money.
During the time when he killed his brother with his own hands, Li Shengru almost fell into a semi-collapse state.
She flipped through the Li family's historical records like crazy and was almost ready to use forbidden techniques despite the objections of her clan members. Fortunately, she finally found a possible way to save her brother in the vast amount of historical records in the Li family.
——“Shape the body, gather wishes, and re-condense the soul.”
It is not a myth or legend from the distant ancient times, but a record that was witnessed and written by the ancestors of the Li family. Although it is very old, there are traces to follow.
But, "willpower"...
Even in that era, collecting was difficult, let alone in the modern era of metaphysics and secrecy? Even most people don't know what her brother has done for this city and this world, so how can she pray sincerely?
Li Shengru even thought about revealing her secret to others several times, but as the head of the Li family, one of the three families, she did have the ability to do so.
Fortunately, after being persuaded by that person, she finally chose to use this more tactful method.
…
…………
When Li Shengru arrived, someone was already waiting there.
The young man's hair had probably not been cut for a long time and had grown quite long, as if it had been casually grabbed by the owner. The hair was sticking up in a messy manner, and there were visible wrinkles on his coat and pants, as if they had been casually grabbed from a pile of clothes. The sweater lining had some pilling... In short, he looked shabby from his hair to his heels. If he didn't have a decent-looking face, he would probably be mistaken for a homeless person if he walked on the street.
Every time they met, Li Shengru was amazed at Xiang Zhengqi's ability to "wear a high-end dress that looks worse than a street stall", but this time she really didn't care about it. Just like Xiang Zhengqi didn't have the mood to complain about Li Shengru wearing a short-sleeved cheongsam outside in this weather, the two just looked at each other silently.
Li Shengru spoke first, repeating what she had said on the phone: "I dreamed of a way out."
Xiang Zhengqi knew what she meant and why she came.
He thought for a moment and whispered, "...something is wrong with the model's code. It shouldn't be this fast. According to my calculations, it should be at least after version 10.6..."
Li Shengru didn't understand what he was saying, just like she had never understood why this guy was obviously not without talent, and the Xiang family was not like the Li family, who were all stupid old stubborn people. This guy was living well at home, so why did he run away from home and start a game company?
However, there was one thing she understood.
It shouldn't be this fast?
And...fast?
She has been waiting for more than ten years, and she is not even sure what she will accomplish if she waits any longer.
She pursed her lips, ignored Xiang Zhengqi who was chattering beside her, took the first step forward and opened the door of the shrine. As usual, Xiang Zhengqi did not stop this action-oriented person.
He muttered quietly behind him, "At least pay your respects and say hello to Shenglu? It's so sudden, what if Shenglu gets scared? It's because you are so impatient that Shenglu has been worried..."
His voice became smaller and smaller, and looking at Li Shengru who was lying motionless in front of him, he couldn't help but reveal a look of worry.
Under normal circumstances, Li Shengru would have turned around and yelled at him to "Shut up!"; and if his hope was dashed, he would have turned around and fought with him to vent his anger.
But now it looks like this...
A certain guess emerged in his mind. Although he had just said that, Xiang Zhengqi still found it hard to believe.
real……
Success?
His heartbeat was a little fast, and his voice couldn't help but tremble. He whispered: "Shengru? ... Li Shengru?"
“…Ru Ru?”
Xiang Zhengqi saw the girl in front of him tremble twice, then suddenly turn around, and he unexpectedly hugged the warm and soft girl in his arms. Xiang Zhengqi didn't know why his heart was beating faster.
Without Li Shengru's obstruction, he finally saw the empty shrine, and his mind was a little confused. Although his eyes saw the scene so clearly, his brain, which had stopped functioning, could not give an answer.
There seemed to be water marks on his shoulders, but Xiang Zhengqi thought it must be an illusion.
Coat, sweater, lining... He wore three layers today. Even if the girl on his shoulders really cried, she wouldn't get wet so quickly.
and……
Cry? Li Shengru?
This woman still cries?
She would only beat up people she disliked until they cried. She had been like this since she was a child, and she would even go to their homes to apologize afterwards...
A way to survive.
His racing mind finally came up with an explanation for the scene before him, but Xiang Zhengqi still felt it was unreal.
——Did they really succeed?
Is the way out really back?
…
…………
Now the question is...
Xiang Zhengqi: Then...
Should the next game version be updated?
Originally, the next expansion pack was going to kill off "Life Path", but if Life Path is now back and it's released again, wouldn't that seem unlucky?
If we want to change it, we have to go back to the version three months ago and rewrite it...
In front of the shrine, Xiang Zhengqi just hugged a beautiful woman and fell into deep thought about his work.
Chu Lu, who finally succeeded in settling down in the Han family, didn't know that he had been severely cheated by his predecessor who came to this world before, and even almost forced the heroine in the previous destiny line to become a villain.
He was now studying the power of the Han family that made him feel very familiar. Before sending Han Lenian to the hospital that day, it was because of the hint of this thing that he successfully drew the simple protection charm on the other's arm.
It is undeniable that this power is one of the most important reasons why Chu Lu chose to stay in the Han family.
With the current energy reserves of the system, even daily operations have to be supplemented by Chu Lu basking in the sun every day. Slightly more complicated programs have to be in semi-dormant state for several days. There is basically no need to think about the traversal method, and Chu Lu does not want to become a vegetable due to the memory shock, so now he can only investigate manually.
In addition, Chu Lu was actually a little worried about Han Lenian's safety.
Chu Lu knew very well what kind of characters he had played before. The purpose of the villain's existence was to be defeated by the protagonist, and his moral level was really terrible. Although the staff of the Space Bureau was only responsible for the fate line and tried not to hurt the natives of the small world in other aspects, for the villain, the fate line was already cruel enough. If it was really the shelter he had set up before, who knows what troubles were hidden behind it.

"Huh? Why don't you turn on the light?"
The door was opened and a hand pressed the light switch. Han Lenian, who had just returned home, looked at the little kid sitting upright on the sofa in confusion.
Han Lenian's school is some distance from his home. In fact, given his situation, it would be more convenient for him to live on campus. However, after two years of high school, Han Lenian still insisted on being a day student.
One reason was that he was the only one left at home, and Han Lenian couldn't help but feel that if he didn't come back, this family would really be gone; the other reason was that since he was a child, he could only sleep peacefully at home, without waking up in the middle of the night and seeing something lying on his bedside...
Now he has even more reason, as he has a younger brother living at home whom he has to come back to take care of and tutor.
Chu Lu answered Han Lenian's question: "Turn off the lights to see more clearly."
Chu Lu did not hide from Han Lenian that he was investigating this unknown force. And according to Han Lenian, it seemed to be like this since he was a child. As far as he could remember, he had the impression that he would be safe if he ran home.
After hearing what Chu Lu said, Han Lenian said "Oh" and asked again: "Then how about I turn off the light again?"
"No need," Chu Lu jumped off the sofa and walked to the dining table, "Let's eat first."
The school cafeteria had dinner, and Han Lenian had already eaten before he came back. But it was getting dark early, and it was already dark when he came back. Even if it was the same road, walking outside during the day and at night was like the difference between a normal version and a nightmare version for Han Lenian.
Although he rarely needed to be sent to the hospital, it was common for him to be chased by various little tricks. By the time he got home, he was already starving. If it were in the past, he would probably just have instant noodles, but now——
Han Lenian looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table and sighed for the countless times: It’s so great to have a “younger brother”! !
After dinner, Han Lenian took the initiative to take on the job of washing the dishes.
Chu Lu was looking through the evening study homework that Han Lenian had brought back.
Yes……
Whether it is tutoring or taking care of, it is in passive voice, and Han Lenian is the one being "tutored" and "taken care of".
Because Han Lenian's own growing experience was full of all kinds of "abnormalities", he accepted this "abnormal" situation very well. At most, he would feel ashamed because he had to take back the in-class test paper full of crosses and was publicly punished.
Speaking of which, it was Han Lenian who took the initiative to propose this tutoring after he discovered that Chu Lu could understand his test papers.
Ever since he could remember, he had been chased by all kinds of strange ghosts. He had been thinking frantically about how to "survive" or "survive as a normal person" every day. He had already exhausted all his efforts. It was obvious that Han Lenian's grades were not very good, or should I say, very bad. If possible, Han Lenian still wanted to be closer to home in college.
But it is obvious that with his current grades, it is unknown whether he can even be admitted to a university in this city, let alone be admitted to a university.
After all, he is my own brother, a “real brother” listed in the household registration book.
What kind of shame is it to be embarrassed in front of him? !
Although, but...
Why is today's evening study assignment the daytime in-class test paper? !
