On December 15, 1972, the wind on Sanshi Island was cold. After breakfast, Cheng Zhenzhu's heart was pounding with anxiety, as if something was about to go off the rails.
Until one day in January 1973, a cup fell from her hand without any warning...
"Mom, what's wrong?" The warm-hearted boy San Tiao heard the noise and hurried out of the room, and Liu Tiao also followed him out to see.
"It's okay, the cup fell accidentally. It's cold outside, let's go inside." Cheng Zhenzhu bent down to pick up the enamel cup, and carried the two little kids back into the house.
Just now her hand seemed to suddenly become transparent... Was it an illusion?
Three days later, Cheng Zhenzhu was certain it wasn't an illusion. Furthermore, the frequency and duration of her hand becoming transparent increased, even spreading from her right hand to her left. Something serious must have happened! Having experienced so many bizarre events, Cheng Zhenzhu felt certain.
The plot was quiet, with no new clues, so nothing out of the ordinary was going on. Could it be that they sensed that this alien spirit had survived as someone who should have died, and so they wanted to eliminate the uncertainty?
Cheng Zhenzhu gently stroked her violently beating heart. She had died in that car accident, so living these few extra years was a win for her anyway. But she was unwilling to accept the inexplicable invisibility and the possibility of non-existence someday.
"Xiao Qi." Cheng Zhenzhu called out the system. She thought of the body that existed in the system.
She had confirmed with Xiao Qi that it was her original body, Zhang Siyu's. She hadn't just arrived in this world with a soul, but also a body, which had been absorbed into the system from the beginning to be nurtured. Therefore, the system had already been bound to her from the beginning, still in Zhang Siyu's identity.
She was wondering why every time her consciousness entered the system, she could still sense things and touch them...
"Xiao Qi is here. Host, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes..." She had an idea. She wasn't sure if it would work, but she had to do something. If it worked, living as Zhang Siyu again might not be so bad. If this fucked-up world insisted on turning Cheng Zhenzhu transparent and non-existent.
Over here, Cheng Zhenzhu and Xiao Qi were communicating closely with each other, while over there, the two brothers San Tiao and Liu Tiao were busy fiddling with something, quietly...
When Nijo came home from school, he looked at Sanjo and Rokujo's "masterpieces" and laughed out loud. "Brother, why are you playing with poop? There are so many lumps..."
"It's Xueyin!" Liu Tiao was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly. Second brother is a bad guy, second brother is the daddy!
"No, Daddy!" Sanjo defended his work. They were using mud and water to make a snowman. It had been ages since they'd made a snowman. They didn't have any snow here. It was getting cold, and there was no...
"If you say it's not, then it's not." Er Tiao spread his hands, whistled and walked into the house with a smile.
Ichijo has to clean up today and will be back a little late. When I entered the yard, I saw my three younger brothers playing with mud balls and couldn't help but tease them. "Brothers, why are you catching poop and smelling it? Eh~"
"Where's the poop!" Er Tiao suddenly stood up, grabbed a lump and threw it into his brother's hand...
"Okay, Yitiao, stop playing in the mud with your brothers. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Cheng Zhenzhu came out after cooking two dishes and saw the four Tiaotiao still playing in the mud. She felt a little helpless for a moment. She shouldn't have brought the three Tiaotiao and the others to dig up so much mud yesterday!
January 15th, Monday, was the day the school had set for the final exams. Ichijo and Nijo finished their breakfast, happily shouldered their backpacks, and headed off to take the exam.
After the exams, it was time for the holiday! The two brothers were very excited and started writing as soon as they got the test papers. Halfway through the first exam, two pencils suddenly rolled to the ground.
"Mom, mom~" Not long after, Liu Tiao, who was playing on the bed after dinner, suddenly opened his eyes wide, dragged his shoes away, and threw himself into his mother's arms crying. His "woooo" sound was full of grievance and fear, which made people feel heartbroken when they heard it.
"What's wrong with Liu Tiao?" Cheng Zhenzhu lifted up Liu Tiao's sad little head.
"My hand is gone, my hand is gone..." Liu Tiao pouted aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Is his hand missing? Cheng Zhenzhu hurriedly grabbed Liu Tiao's hand to check it out when she heard what he said. Could it be that Liu Tiao's hand had also turned transparent?
"Again~" Liu Tiao felt himself being pulled, and saw his hand appear again. His crying stopped abruptly, and he hummed to his mother that it didn't happen just now.
"Our six hands are all here. You must have seen it wrong..." Cheng Zhenzhu held Liu Tiao in her arms and comforted him softly, her heart sinking slightly.
She was an outsider, but Liu Tiao was not. This proved that her previous guess was wrong.
Could something have happened to Xiao Gu Zhiqing? She hadn't received any letters from him since July. She later wrote two letters to Caoshi, but received no reply. The occasional plotline from the book hadn't surfaced since hinting at Comrade Lu's serious injury...
————Ding ding ding!
The cold mechanical voice came again, exactly the same as the voice that prompted the previous plot section, and again, only she could hear it.
————Warning! The male protagonist Lu Jiamu and the female protagonist Gu Xixi encountered a storm at sea and have been missing at sea for a month. Their presence cannot be detected.
Sure enough, something unexpected had happened, and Cheng Zhenzhu felt even more heavy-hearted. What did it mean to be unable to detect aura? Wasn't Comrade Lu injured? Why did he appear at sea with little Gu Zhiqing and then disappear together?
Cheng Zhenzhu's eyes fell on the two rows of scarlet characters in front of her. The sound in her ears became more and more shrill. Before she had time to think more, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"It's cold, San Tiao feels uncomfortable, it hurts~" San Tiao came out of the room and threw himself into his mother's arms. His voice was softer than usual, and his little face looked a little weak.
Cheng Zhenzhu picked up San Tiao and sat him and Liu Tiao on her lap, one on each side. It seemed that all of them were affected. It was at this moment that she realized more clearly that she was in a book. It was clearly her own fate, yet it was tied to someone else's, and the pain was inexplicable...
San Tiao raised his head and noticed that his mother's face was pale and looked even more uncomfortable than him, so he blew on her. "Cui Cui, it doesn't hurt~"
Liu Tiao pouted and blew saliva at Cheng Zhenzhu's face, "Mother, it hurts, fly away~"
"Well, Mom doesn't feel any pain anymore. They've all flown away." Looking at the two Tiao Tiao's heartwarming actions, Cheng Zhenzhu hugged them and felt that the angina pain was relieved by half.
————Warning! The male protagonist Lu Jiamu and the female protagonist Gu Xixi have been confirmed dead.
Meanwhile, in the distant Jiaohai waters of Liaohai City, a large force recovered two unrecognizable bodies, a man and a woman. Judging by their stature, they must be Comrade Lu and his wife. The troops were deeply saddened and observed a moment of silence...
