Lu Ban woke up to the ringing of the phone.

The curtains in the hotel room were drawn and it was a little dark. He heard the sound of "Good Luck Comes" and picked up the phone. It was Feng Yu calling.

"Hello, I've arrived at my place, I'm calling to let you know I'm safe."

Feng Yu's voice sounds lively and sunny.

"Oh, that's good. It's quite far away. I've already had a good sleep."

Lu Ban moved his shoulders. Perhaps due to his sleeping position, his body felt a little sore.

"You'll feel sleepy if you're full, but don't sleep too long, or you'll gain weight!"

When Lu Ban opened the curtains, Feng Yu's voice came, as soft as the sunshine.

"I know."

After chatting with Feng Yu for a while, Lu Ban hung up the phone.

He put down his phone, went to the bathroom, washed his face with water, and looked at himself in the mirror. He seemed a little haggard.

After taking a quick shower and changing clothes, Lu Ban sat down on the bed.

He opened his laptop, clicked on a web page, and typed two words in the search bar.

Feng Yu.

After pressing Enter to search, Lu Ban saw a piece of news.

"Recently, a film crew encountered a flash flood while filming in Leiming Mountain, killing many crew members and injuring many others."

Under this news, Feng Yu's name was clearly seen.

She was one of the victims of the disaster.

Lu Ban looked at the time on the news. It was March of this year, which was probably not long after he traveled through time.

"She pretended to be Feng Yu and communicated with me. What was her purpose?"

Lu Ban frowned slightly.

From the first moment he saw Feng Yu, he felt something was wrong. Later, when he was about to leave, Lu Ban finally remembered what the weird feeling was.

Feng Yu and Lu Ban hardly spoke a few words in college, but when the two chatted, they were like old friends who had known each other for many years.

Even when Lu Ban said something that might not make sense, Feng Yu could pick up on it.

This is so incongruous.

Feng Yu must be fake.

So Lu Ban tried it out.

Unexpectedly, when he asked that question, Feng Yu instead showed a bright smile.

"Want to sit somewhere?"

She did not respond to Lu Ban's question, but invited him to a nearby cafe.

The two ordered coffee. Lu Ban took a sip and found that it tasted no different from the cheap coffee in the convenience store.

"Where should I begin?"

Feng Yu crossed her fingers and placed them in front of her body. The sunlight shone on the side of her face, and she could see the very thin fuzz on her face.

"To be precise, I am actually Feng Yu, but I am different from the one you first knew."

Feng Yu said something that Lu Ban didn't quite understand, and then picked up the cup in his hand.

"For example, if this drink looks like coffee, smells like coffee, tastes like coffee, and is analyzed by various physical and chemical methods, then what is it?"

"coffee?"

Lu Ban saw Feng Yu take a sip of the black liquid in the cup, with some still on the edge of his lips. She pursed her lips and smiled.

“It’s the same with humans.”

Feng Yu put down the cup.

"If I look like Feng Yu, talk and act like Feng Yu, have all of Feng Yu's memories, and can react like her, then who am I?"

"But you are not Feng Yu."

Lu Ban was not very interested in such philosophical questions. He did not want to discuss the debate on self-cognition or the Ship of Theseus. He just wanted to know what happened to the real Feng Yu and who this Feng Yu was now.

"I won't tell you the truth, because the more you know, the more likely you are to be contaminated. I can only tell you that I am a traveler."

Feng Yu chuckled.

"Traveler?"

Lu Ban felt more and more confused.

However, the information in Feng Yu's words made him feel very familiar.

The more you know, the greater the possibility of contamination.

This is the default rule in A Quiet Place.

Of course, this world is also part of the Land of Silence, so this rule naturally applies as well.

So, Feng Yu is also God's chosen one?

When Lu Ban was confused, Feng Yu opened his mouth to answer his questions.

"Yes, I travel to every corner of the world, and sometimes I become a part of the locals and experience their lives. I am such a traveler."

Although her appearance had not changed at all, Lu Ban could sense a sense of indifference and vicissitudes from her.

The unique temperament that I felt when I first saw Feng Yu must have come from this kind of connotation.

"So the real Feng Yu..."

"The real Feng Yu is here."

Feng Yu smiled sweetly.

Gorgeous, sexy, deadly and dangerous.

Lu Ban felt creepy.

He concentrated and stared at Feng Yu.

The ability of [True Vision] will become stronger as Lu Ban knows more relevant knowledge, and he will be able to see more things.

Now, Lu Ban knows a lot more about Feng Yu, so theoretically he can see more things.

However, when he did this, Feng Yu suddenly stretched out his hand.

She put two fingers together and gently covered Lu Ban's eyes.

Although it is just a very ordinary action, when Feng Yu does it, it has an extraordinary meaning.

"I advise you not to watch it. It's for your own good."

Feng Yu's voice was a little worried, like an old mother whose son didn't do well in math.

“Although curiosity is the greatest driving force for human progress, in fact, curiosity can easily lead to destruction. Knowing everything does not mean you will understand the truth. Sometimes ignorance is the greatest happiness.”

She withdrew her hand and smiled.

"Besides, casually looking at a girl's secrets is not what a gentleman should do."

"I see."

Lu Ban gave up the idea of ​​using [True Vision] to see Feng Yu.

Thinking about it carefully, he had been able to search for Feng Yu's recent situation several times before, but he didn't do so for various reasons.

In a sense, this is subconscious self-protection.

After all, the class monitor, who I hardly spoke to in college, suddenly started talking to me very happily and often asked about my recent situation, just like a girl who had a crush on me. There must be something wrong.

Perhaps Lu Ban realized this subconsciously and that's why he avoided meeting Feng Yu.

Since the other party said there was no need to look, Lu Ban obeyed and did not look.

After all, he is not a madman without reason. When an unknown entity kindly advises you not to do something, it is best not to do it.

"Okay, now that I've made myself clear, I really should go back. I hope you'll still treat me as Feng Yu, just like before. Well, of course, I can't be your mother."

Feng Yu drank the coffee in one gulp and stood up.

"Also, I really like your movies and hope to see your works. Come on."

She waved and left.

Lu Ban watched Feng Yu leave, sat in silence for a moment, and then drank the coffee in front of him.

"…Didn't she pay the bill just now?"

Lu Ban realized it later.
