Chapter 42 Chapter 42 "You know me." Standing on the road...
"Do you know me?" The woman standing opposite Lu Ze looked puzzled.
Obviously, the underlying meaning of this sentence is that she doesn't know Lu Ze.
Intuitive creatures like Luze are best at bypassing all confusing items. He grabbed the hand of the white-haired, blue-eyed woman that had just killed the monster and said with certainty: "You are Teacher Xiao Yue!"
The woman opposite him still looked at him with strange eyes. Lu Ze took a breath and said firmly: "I know your ear clip. Since Andy Moya, every time you changed your identity and appearance, the only thing that remained unchanged was this ear clip! It is the supernatural item that supports your changes, right?"
Seeing Xiao Yue didn't say anything, Lu Ze went further: "When you played Lillian, someone also saw Lillian in other places. The Doret you played was a person who had been dead for three years. The Silveira you played was originally a water-type mutant."
Lu Ze subconsciously grabbed her hand and wanted to continue listing the evidence, but the woman opposite him suddenly laughed. She had a stern look to begin with, but with this smile she seemed much more approachable.
"You have grown a lot, Lu Ze." She said in a tone that Lu Ze was familiar with.
At this moment, Lu Ze was like a traveler who saw an oasis in the desert, or a runner who saw the finish line. He still remembered why he wanted so badly to become stronger. Because this kind and friendly teacher suddenly disappeared and because he wanted to know the truth about her disappearance.
Now, he has not yet found out the truth, but he has met Teacher Xiaoyue.
The teacher's face was so strange, completely different from when she was in the academy. The teacher was also so strange. She killed the monster with just one blow. The teacher became very strange, but she admitted that she was Teacher Xiaoyue.
Lu Ze said: "I miss you so much, we all miss you so much..." His voice was choked with sobs that he was not even aware of it.
He really misses Teacher Xiaoyue.
…
Ah, why is this child crying? Today she didn't bring any special items that would make people cry when they see her.
Ren Xiaoyue looked at Lu Ze in front of her, who had tears in his eyes and was about to cry if he got any more excited, and resisted the urge to take a step back. Seeing that Lu Ze completely ignored Catherine in her arms, and didn't even notice Asther running over, and was about to have a long-awaited heart-to-heart talk with her, Ren Xiaoyue quickly stopped him.
"We can talk about the past later. My client is still here." She used the tone she often used when playing the role of a teacher to comfort Lu Ze.
When she said this, Lu Ze finally noticed Catherine in Ren Xiaoyue's arms. Lu Ze reluctantly withdrew his hand and gave Ren Xiaoyue an overly sunny smile.
"Well, I'll wait for you here!" Lu Ze said. He stood there, his heels rooted to the ground, motionless, staring at Ren Xiaoyue.
I'm really afraid that she will run away. Ren Xiaoyue thought. She looked down at Catherine, who looked unhappy, and returned to the tone she had used when she spoke to Catherine before: "The commission has ended."
Catherine looked at her in confusion.
Ren Xiaoyue continued: "The person you wanted to kill is dead."
Now Catherine reacted. Her mind picked up the broken string. She first came out of Ren Xiaoyue's arms, and then looked around. Braden's villa was reduced to ruins, and Braden himself was left with only ashes.
Catherine wanted to ask if Brayden was dead, but she felt a little embarrassed to ask. Should she be sad? Should she be angry when facing such a lover? But what right did she have to be angry?
Finally, all her mental activities calmed down, and she said calmly: "No, it's not over yet."
"Ma'am, could you please collect this dust for me?" she requested.
Although Ren Xiaoyue was a little confused, she still did as she was told. There wasn't much ash left in Brayden, so she could hold it in one hand. She held the handful of ashes and held her hand out to Catherine.
Catherine looked at the handful of ashes and smiled sweetly: "Madam, can you make this dust disappear completely?"
Ren Xiaoyue:?
Ren Xiaoyue looked Catherine up and down, as if she had a new understanding of her. Ren Xiaoyue nodded, clenched her fist, and when she released it, the handful of black dust had disappeared.
Catherine looked at Ren Xiaoyue's empty hands, with a look of relief in her eyes. Then, she asked hesitantly: "Can I... still hire you? It's not an excessive request, I just need you to take me home."
Ren Xiaoyue shook her head.
No, if she doesn't run now, it will be difficult for her to run.
Catherine turned to Lu Ze and asked, "Can I hire you to take me home?"
It's not that she is squeamish, it's just that this place is on the top of a mountain, and there is no one living within a hundred miles. It is very far away from the city. It will take Catherine at least three hours to walk up the mountain before she can get down. It is night now, and she may encounter wild animals. She was still young and didn't want to be food for the beast.
Lu Ze was conflicted. Rather than accepting the commission, he wanted to have a quick chat with Ren Xiaoyue.
"I am the eldest daughter of the Miller family. If you send me home, I will prepare enough compensation." Catherine added, but she didn't expect that the reason for Lu Ze's hesitation had nothing to do with the reward.
Lu Ze finished struggling, and just as he was about to refuse, Aster covered his mouth.
"No problem, we can take it." Asther said.
Luze pulled Aster's hand down and asked her what she was doing through mouthing. Asthe couldn't help but hit Luze. She mouthed back to him, saying that it was a big deal for them to leave an ordinary person who was powerless alone in the mountains.
Ren Xiaoyue watched them fight leisurely until they were almost done before she spoke: "Lu Ze, let's talk somewhere else."
"Aste and Mr. Zhe... let's talk after you come back? Sorry, I want to talk to Lu Ze alone for a while." Ren Xiaoyue looked at Aste who was about to catch up, with a guilty look on her face.
Facing Teacher Xiaoyue, Aste hesitated for a moment and then agreed, while Zhe looked at Ren Xiaoyue for a long time. Zhe had been holding the fort not far away from the beginning. When the black mud monster approached Ren Xiaoyue, he also used his supernatural powers, but they were like a stone thrown into the sea and had no effect.
Previously, Zhe had had a serious talk with the principal about Ren Xiaoyue’s matter. The principal revealed to him that Ren Xiaoyue was not an ordinary person, and he was mentally prepared for this. So when he felt that his supernatural powers were losing their effectiveness, Zhe did not show it.
The long-missing teacher reappears, his position unclear. Given Yizhe's caution, he shouldn't let Lu Ze be alone with her.
but……
Everyone has selfish desires. Zhe sighed inwardly and agreed.
"Ten minutes," Zhe said, "If you're not back in ten minutes, I'll go find you."
Ren Xiaoyue curled her lips and smiled: "Thank you for still trusting me, Lu Ze, let's go."
Ren Xiaoyue led Lu Ze through the woods and came to the edge of the cliff. Standing here, they could see the city below the mountain. Even though it was already late at night, there were still dim lights in the city. Ren Xiaoyue felt the night breeze and looked towards Lu Ze.
She didn't speak, and Lu Ze didn't speak either. Lu Ze, who always speaks his mind, finally gets a chance to chat with Ren Xiaoyue alone, but suddenly becomes speechless.
He wanted to ask so many questions that he didn't know which one to ask first.
Lu Ze was feeling sad over there, but Ren Xiaoyue felt that the atmosphere was just right. When he spoke, Ren Xiaoyue had to organize her words to fool him. When he didn't speak, who knows, the blank space in the comics could be used to create an artistic feeling.
Lu Ze was stunned for a full minute, and finally figured out what to ask first.
"Teacher, how have you been lately?" he asked.
His question made Ren Xiaoyue couldn't help laughing. She burst out laughing: "Why would you ask this question? I thought you would first ask me why I suddenly disappeared."
"Of course I want to ask that," Lu Ze said, "but I want to know more about how you are doing."
This route is really good. Ren Xiaoyue clicked her tongue inwardly. She said readily: "You should have sensed it, I am a powerful psychic, of course my life will not be bad."
Lu Ze retorted: "Being powerful doesn't mean you can live a happy life!"
Ren Xiaoyue smiled and shook her head: "Lu Ze, thank you for your concern, but I am really doing well. I haven't been apart from you for long, right?"
Lu Ze complained: "Yeah, I never thought you were around me all this time... What a joke! You didn't disguise yourself well at all, leaving so many loopholes!"
"I can't help it. I'm not a professional," Ren Xiaoyue stroked her hair and said gently, "Okay, that's all for this question. Do you have anything else you want to ask?"
"Why did you disappear after graduation day?" Lu Ze asked seriously.
Ren Xiaoyue thought for a moment before answering: "Because I was discovered by a very troublesome enemy, I had to give up that identity."
In fact, this is only part of the reason. The main reason is that if he continues to use the identity of a teacher, it will not be easy to integrate into the plot of the second volume. And if he does not exit in this way, how can the protagonist remember him now?
Lu Ze also discovered the problem, and he continued to ask: "Then why do you have to change so many identities now? Just change one and then contact us."
Ren Xiaoyue sighed in a mock manner: "Originally, I had no intention of getting to know you."
Lu Ze frowned unconsciously.
Ren Xiaoyue continued: "You have been warned many times during this journey that you will encounter danger. In fact, the enemies I face are more dangerous and more troublesome than you think. I don't want to involve you."
Lu Ze frowned and said, "But we are already involved."
"Are you blaming me?" Ren Xiaoyue asked calmly.
When she asked this, Lu Ze's face was about to wrinkle. He said decisively: "No, what I mean is that we are friends, and friends should help each other."
"Help each other," Ren Xiaoyue repeated softly, "What a novel word. Even if I have been deceiving you, are you willing to treat me as a friend?"
Lu Ze said without hesitation: "Even so, the bond we have formed is real, and the process of getting along with each other is also real."
"Young people are full of energy." Ren Xiaoyue couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Ze: "Don't make yourself sound so old!"
Ren Xiaoyue was silent. They stared at each other for a long time, and Lu Ze suddenly reacted.
"Oh, did I say something wrong?" he said.
Are you really old?
Seeing the words that were almost written on Lu Ze's face, Ren Xiaoyue laughed happily. She rubbed Lu Ze's head and said, "Hahahaha, you see, you were fooled by me again. So, don't trust me too much."
“Rather than not trusting yourself too much, it’s more important for you to give us more trust.” Lu Ze let her hands do whatever they wanted, and only when his head was rubbed into a mess did he mutter loudly.
"Well, I'll try it." Ren Xiaoyue said.
After saying that, they suddenly fell silent again. It's like suddenly completing a task successfully and not knowing what to do next. Lu Ze quickly reacted and continued to ask: "Why do you want to chat with me alone? Is there something you can't tell everyone?"
"There is nothing I can't tell you." Ren Xiaoyue said lightly.
For some reason, Lu Ze suddenly felt panic in his heart, and he asked: "Then why..."
"Because the time for reunion is limited." Ren Xiaoyue interrupted Lu Ze.
She said: "You must have a lot of questions, such as who I am, why I approach you, and what my purpose is. Keep getting stronger. As long as you keep getting stronger, you will get all the answers one day."
"Or..." Ren Xiaoyue hesitated, "You can ask your mother, ask Lu Hui."
Ask Lu Hui?
Lu Ze heard a name he had never thought of. It's like knowing that Kangxi and Leibniz were pen pals, that square watermelons are pressed out of molds, and that the shape of raindrops is more like the top half of a hamburger than a teardrop.
At the moment when Lu Ze was shocked, Ren Xiaoyue took a step back and jumped off the cliff on his back.
Lu Ze opened his eyes wide and subconsciously reached out to grab something. Of course, he got nothing. When he looked down the cliff, there was no one there.
Only a few leaves floated across the empty night sky.
