Am I getting old too?
I subconsciously looked down at my hands.
Those hands were covered with blue veins, and the skin was loose like the bark of an old tree, with crisscrossing wrinkles.
I raised my hand and touched my face again. Wherever my fingertips touched, there was only wrinkled skin. Every wrinkle mercilessly proclaimed my aging at this moment.
No wonder Wu Zhiguo let us out so easily; he has already achieved his goal.
He had meticulously planned all of this from the very beginning.
Lin Zimeng led us to the Mysterious Female Furnace, where we solved puzzles along the way—all part of his plan.
He used us to break the seal on the Mysterious Furnace and obtain that mysterious power.
Now that the seal is broken and his goal has been achieved, he will naturally throw us out like tools he has used.
Luo Tianhe naturally understood this as well. He gritted his teeth, his wrinkles deepening with anger: "That despicable Wu Zhiguo, he actually made a fool of us! Damn it, how could I be so stupid as to fall into his trap? I knew that bastard wasn't so kind!"
I sighed heavily: "Moreover, at this rate of aging, we probably don't have many days left to live. The power of the Mysterious Female is eroding our bodies too severely during the unsealing process."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe flew into a rage, waving his thin, bony arms and roaring, "No way! I have to go back and settle accounts with Wu Zhiguo! We'll die together!"
I quickly reached out to stop him.
"Brother Luo, calm down! Go back? How can we go back? When we were strong and healthy, we were no match for those zombies in Sanjiapo. Now, look at our old bones. If we go back like this, wouldn't we be committing suicide? They might just shatter our bones with one punch."
Luo Tianhe was panting heavily, his eyes glaring angrily, but he knew I was telling the truth.
Reluctantly, she asked, "Then what do you suggest we do? Just let it go like this?"
I pondered for a moment, and a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
“Go back and find Master Jin. That old guy led us here, he must know something. Maybe he knows how to restore our bodies.”
"Really?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Tianhe's eyes, and he asked eagerly, "Can we go back to being young?"
I wasn't entirely sure myself, but I had to keep Luo Tianhe calm at that moment, so I spoke firmly.
“We aged because of the Mysterious Female Furnace. Since there is a cause, there must be a solution. Since Master Jin was involved in all of this, he must know some key clues.”
Luo Tianhe muttered helplessly, "I was just following your investigation, how did it suddenly switch from the suspense channel to the fantasy channel? What's going on here!"
Then we walked towards the car.
...
After driving for more than two hours, I realized we were on the wrong route and hurriedly asked Luo Tianhe, "Brother Luo, where are we going?"
Luo Tianhe tugged at his loose clothes, glanced at the rearview mirror in the car, and said with a wry smile, "Looking at us now, we should at least take a shower and change our clothes. Look at us, we look like neither human nor ghost."
The car stopped in front of a store, and upon closer inspection, I realized it was a suit store.
I asked with a puzzled look, "Brother Luo, do we two old men need to come to a suit store to buy clothes? We can just pick out a couple of old-fashioned clothes from a street stall, and we can also use that as an opportunity to get closer to Master Jin."
My plan is that we go to see Master Jin looking like this; he shouldn't recognize us. We can then pretend to be strangers and try to get some information out of him...
Luo Tianhe rolled his eyes and interrupted me: "You really think Master Jin is so easy to deal with? I can recognize you, how could he not? You're too naive. Change your clothes, change your aura, and maybe you can keep him guessing about our background."
Before I could even retort, Luo Tianhe had already opened the car door and beckoned me into the store.
The saleswoman in the store was clearly taken aback when she saw the two old men walk in, but she quickly came over to greet us warmly.
He smiled and said to Luo Tianhe, "Sir, welcome. How can I help you?"
Upon hearing the address "Grandpa," Luo Tianhe's face turned pale and then red, his anger flaring up, but he couldn't lash out.
I chuckled to myself, thinking: Aren't we just two old men?
However, although her appearance has aged, fortunately her figure has not changed.
Luo Tianhe walked around the store and picked out a black suit.
The suit was simple and elegant, and the tailored cut made him look energetic despite his thin frame.
After putting it on, I wore sunglasses and looked pretty cool.
I chose a white suit, and after putting it on, I surprisingly gained a unique and composed demeanor.
The saleswoman's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Wow, gentlemen, I've never seen such handsome old men before! These two suits are practically tailor-made for you, they fit you perfectly!"
Other guests nearby were also whispering among themselves.
"Look at those two old men. Although they are old, they look so stylish in their suits. Their demeanor is completely different."
"Yes, these two elderly people have a unique charm that most people don't have."
"I wish I could be this handsome when I'm old!"
Listening to these comments, I felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
I don't know if it looks good or not, but I do think that when we stand together, one in black and one in white, we look just like the Black and White Impermanence.
