"..."
Yu Xiao looked at the wise man in confusion, her mind was blank. What did he just say? What did he mean by predicting six years ago that I would fall in love with me today?
Even though Yu Xiao has always been more confident, she would not dare to think so. Unless...
Yu Xiao suddenly had an idea that the wise man might not be wrong, because this is not impossible.
The wise man had been staring at her intently, so he did not miss the subtle changes in Yu Xiao's expression. He said, "You know?"
"Ah?" Yu Xiao was a little confused, "Know what?"
"Know why the result now is different from what I predicted." said the wise man.
"I don't know." Yu Xiao shook her head, "How can I know?"
The wise man could tell whether she was telling the truth or lying. He took two steps back, turned around, and looked at the sky outside the window where the sunset was blazing red. He asked Yu Xiao a question, "Do you believe in fate?"
Fate? This topic jumps a bit, wasn't it just talking about falling in love with yourself?
The word fate is far away from Yu Xiao, because she has never thought about it. It should be said that most young people in contemporary society don't think about such things. First, atheists occupy the mainstream of society, and second, everyone is very busy, busy studying, working and having fun, how can they have time to think about such mysterious things? Moreover
, online novels are popular now, and most young people who have read them know that my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of God. Yu Xiao is not that naive, but she pays more attention to the results. If her fate is good, she believes in it. If her fate is bad, then it is up to me.
At present, it seems that Yu Xiao's fate is not very good. People with good fate will not get cancer at a young age, so she said firmly: "I don't believe it."
The wise man nodded and said: "I don't believe it either."
After that, he went back to the window and sat down, maintaining the movement when Yu Xiao just came in, looking out the window leisurely.
Why are you ignoring me again?
Yu Xiao also walked to the window and sat down next to the wise man. She said: "Since you can predict the future, do you know why I came to you?"
"Yes." The wise man nodded.
"Since you know, do you agree?" Yu Xiao: "Do you agree to go with us to the rescue hospital?"
The wise man looked at her silently for a while and said, "I don't want to."
"..." Yu Xiao: "Can I ask why?"
"No reason, I just don't want to." The wise man took a plate of snacks from the tea table next to him, put it in his hand and ate while looking at the scenery. His posture was so relaxed and his expression was so bored that he looked as if he could fall asleep at any time.
"Since you don't want to, why do you want to see me?" Yu Xiao felt very puzzled.
"The main reason I want to see you is that I'm curious." The wise man ate a piece of preserved fruit, which seemed a little sour. He frowned, "I want to know whether I will fall in love with you as I expected."
Good guy, Yu Xiao was speechless. She followed the wise man's gaze and looked out the window. The view from more than a hundred floors above was indeed extraordinary. However, the view was just the view. Yu Xiao asked, "Won't you get bored looking at it every day?"
The wise man said, "I'm already bored."
"You're still looking at it even if you're bored?" Yu Xiao found that he was really strange, and his thoughts were hard to understand. "Since you're bored, why don't you go out for a walk?"
The wise man said, "It's boring to go out, too."
Yu Xiao said, "Huh?"
"I know everyone in this city, and I know everything that will happen. If I go out, I'll just see with my own eyes the scenes I've already seen, and experience things I already knew." The wise man shook his head, "It's better to stay here and save some energy."
"..." Yu Xiao was dumbfounded. What kind of realm was this? She couldn't understand.
But she didn't want to understand it. She came here to complete a mission, not to chat with people. Thinking of this, Yu Xiao was frightened. She clenched her fists and stared at the wise man with a ferocious expression, "Since you can predict everything, do you know what I will do to you soon?"
The wise man turned his head, with a calm face and a little bit of disgust, he said: "You won't do that."
"How do you know?" Yu Xiao narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Sometimes when I get angry, I don't even know what I will do."
"You won't." The wise man still said this.
Just when Yu Xiao thought he was going to say something profound, the wise man said: "You have a very good friend in my hand."
"..."
Good guy, I didn't expect this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes to be a threat! Yu Xiao put down her hand and let out a long breath, "Don't force me."
The wise man: "I never force others."
"Do you know the truth of this world?" Yu Xiao tried to impress him with some secrets, "Do you think this world is only this big?"
When she said this, the wise man's expression finally changed.
He frowned at first, looking a little tangled, as if he was struggling with something in his heart. After a long while, his brows relaxed again, and he said: "Do you know the truth of this world?" "
Of course." Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows, "At least more than you know."
The wise man looked a little sad, and he said: "I tried to understand the truth of this world a long time ago. I know you are from the outside world, and the passage to the outside world is in the hospital in the center of this city."
He knows a lot, Yu Xiao thought, just in case I have to explain, and she was ready to start fooling him.
But the wise man shook his head, "It's a pity that only people like you can go through the passage to the outside world. People in our world can't go through it."
Yu Xiao prepared a lot of words but they were held back in her stomach. She said depressedly: "Even if you can't get out, don't you want to understand?"
"Then are you willing to tell me?" The wise man asked.
Yu Xiao immediately said: "If you promise to accompany me to the hospital, I will tell you."
"Then don't tell me." The wise man turned his head and continued to look at the sunset, "My curiosity is not that strong."
Yu Xiao was almost choked to death by him. She stared at the wise man with her eyes wide open for a long time. Yu Xiao couldn't help but say: "What's the point of you living like this?"
"You have been staying in this room for many years, right? Staying in the same place every day, seeing the same people every day, and barely speaking a few words a day, right? You have been living this almost identical life for so many years, what's the point? Don't you want to make some changes?"
Yu Xiao was a little excited, because she was really a little anxious. But the wise man didn't react to this, just looked at her.
"Are you afraid of danger?" Yu Xiao said, "If you are worried about this, then don't be afraid, I will protect you. You have seen those paintings outside in the hospital, then you should know that I can protect you."
The wise man looked at her serious eyes and suddenly said, "Have you ever thought that my danger may come from you?"
Yu Xiao was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Is the world outside big?" asked the wise man.
What the hell? Yu Xiao was speechless. Is his thinking so active?
"It's very big, much bigger than your city." Yu Xiao said.
The wise man looked far away, "I don't have a name. Everyone calls me the wise man because I know many things that ordinary people don't know since I was born. Ten years ago, I began to explore the secrets of this world, and then I learned some secrets about this world. For example, this is an incomplete world, and everything in this world originates from the hospital full of taboos in the center of the city, and..."
At this point, the wise man lowered his head, and the bones on his slender white neck protruded slightly, "Then I built this building, and never walked out again. Life here may be boring, but it's not bad. I haven't found a reason to give up this life."
"I'm not asking you to give up." Yu Xiao said, "After helping us, you can continue to come back to live this life."
The wise man smiled. This was the first time he smiled since Yu Xiao saw him.
Then he closed his eyes, his refusal was self-evident.
"What can you do to agree to help us?" Yu Xiao asked.
The wise man did not give her any response. Yu Xiao sighed and took out a card from her pocket. This was the card she exchanged from Luo Jin with the talisman last time, a one-time deep love card.
From the moment she first met the wise man and heard what the wise man said to her, she had a premonition that she would use this card today. But she still wanted to try, after all, functional cards were rare and could save lives at critical moments, so she was reluctant to use it.
It was not until then that she realized that the wise man's prediction was correct, and she would definitely use this card today.
Just when she was about to use it, the wise man opened his eyes and looked at the card in Yu Xiao's hand with a heavy gaze.
"What is this?" asked the wise man.
Yu Xiao was a little embarrassed, as if she was about to do something bad but was caught on the spot.
"Will I fall in love with you if I use this?" the wise man asked again.
"You..." Yu Xiao was surprised, "Do you know?"
"What does it feel like to fall in love with someone?" the wise man asked.
"This..." How could Yu Xiao know, she had never fallen in love with anyone, "I don't know either."
"Don't you know?" The wise man stared at the card in Yu Xiao's hand, and then he said thoughtfully: "It should be a very strong emotion that can make people give up everything, even their lives."
"It's not that exaggerated." Yu Xiao thought that the wise man might have watched too many TV dramas. She felt that if it were her, even if she liked someone very much, she would not give up everything for the other person.
The wise man said, "You haven't fallen in love with anyone, how do you know it won't be like this?"
"Uh..." Although Yu Xiao disagreed, she couldn't refute him. She said, "You can say whatever you want."
"Can I see this thing?" The wise man stared at the disposable Deep Love Card curiously.
"No." Yu Xiao refused of course. This kind of functional card has no binding function. Anyone can use it. What if the wise man took it and used it directly, wouldn't she be in big trouble?
"I won't take it." The wise man said, "Hold it up and let me see it."
"Okay." Yu Xiao held up the card.
The wise man raised his hands and gently held Yu Xiao's hand that was holding the card, and observed the card very seriously.
There seemed to be billions of stars on the black background of the card, and the patterns were complicated and mysterious. On the other side was a dirty heart. If you stare at it, you can see that the dirty heart is still beating slowly.
The wise man looked at it again and again, and then he let go of Yu Xiao's hand and said, "You can use it."
"Ah?" Yu Xiao was confused again.
"You can use it." The wise man said again with a complicated expression.
"Actually, I can do without it." Yu Xiao said in embarrassment: "As long as you..."
"You can use it." The wise man: "If you don't use it, I will never agree to it."
Well, since he strongly requested it, Yu Xiao planned to fulfill his wish. She thought to herself, when you fall in love with me, and love me to death, I will not be so polite to you, and see how I will retaliate against you.
Then she used the card, and the one-time deep love card gradually disappeared in her hand. Yu Xiao stared at the wise man nervously, observing whether he had any changes.
The wise man did not change for the time being. He still had the same posture and expression as before. The two of them stared at each other silently for a long time. When she was about to smile and suspected that the card had no effect, the wise man closed his eyes.
Why close his eyes? What effect would this have? Could it be that Lu Xun and Luo Jin had deceived her? Was this not a one-time deep love card at all?
The wise man raised his hand and gently pressed it on his heart. He said, "So this is what it feels like to love someone."
"Do you feel it?" Yu Xiao stared at the wise man, "Are you willing to go to the hospital with us now?"
This time the wise man still did not agree, but he did not refuse either. He just said, "Do you really want me to go?"
"Of course." Yu Xiao: "You know, I am not from this world. Only if you help us can we leave."
The wise man nodded. For some reason, Yu Xiao suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sad.
"Okay." The wise man: "I promise you."
"Then..." Yu Xiao turned his head, and the sun had already disappeared, and it was already dark outside.
Qingshi said that the hospital would be very scary at night. Yu Xiao laughed dryly and said, "Let's go tomorrow. It's safer to go during the day. Do you want to make some preparations tonight? Or have a good rest?"
The wise man said, "Your friends..."
"Oh!" Yu Xiao slapped his thigh, "I forgot."
She immediately called Zhou Xiaozhen. At this time, Zhou Xiaozhen was in a trash can. She answered the phone despite the pain. Her voice was extremely weak, "Sister Xiao." "
Xiaozhen." Yu Xiao: "How are you now?"
"I'm fine. I'm hiding in a safe place." Zhou Xiaozhen stepped on a mouse to death. "Except for the mouse biting me, I'm fine."
Yu Xiao was stunned. "Why did the mouse bite you?"
"Probably because of the hatred card." Zhou Xiaozhen said: "Anything with eyes will come over and bite me as long as it sees me."
"..." Good man, they are both one-time function cards, why are the effects so different? After Xiaozhen used the card, even the mouse hated her. After she used the card, the wise man's attitude towards her didn't seem to change.
"Sister Xiao," Zhou Xiaozhen asked, "Have you got everything done?"
"It's done. We'll go to the hospital tomorrow when the sun rises," Yu Xiao said.
"That's good." Zhou Xiaozhen smiled happily. She said, "Then I won't tell you. I'm worried that I'll be discovered by the people who are looking for me. I'll hide for one night and meet up with you at the hospital gate tomorrow morning."
"Okay...be careful," Yu Xiao said.
"Got it." Zhou Xiaozhen hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, Yu Xiao said, "Can you let my friends go?"
"Yes." The wise man also took out his phone and called someone. After a few words, he said, "Your friends have been released."
"Thank you." Yu Xiao thanked sincerely, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"Are you leaving?" The wise man looked up and asked her.
"Yes." Yu Xiao pointed out the window, "It's already dark, even if I don't rest, you should rest too."
"I don't want to rest." The wise man looked at her like this, "I love you very much now, can you stay here with me tonight?"
"..." Yu Xiao felt absurd and speechless, do you love me very much? Why can't I see it?
"I will help you a lot tomorrow." The wise man said very seriously: "You should stay here with me, you owe me this."
Yu Xiao: "..."
Yu Xiao stayed here to accompany the wise man, and the wise man asked someone to send dinner to eat. He was really amazing, and the dishes he ordered were all Yu Xiao's favorites.
The two were having dinner together when Zhao Lan called, "Xiaoxiao, how are you doing over there?"
"Done." Yu Xiao said while eating garlic shrimps, "The wise man has agreed to go to the hospital with us tomorrow morning. How are you doing over there?"
"Except for being a little hungry, everything is fine. Have you contacted Xiaozhen?" Zhao Lan asked.
"I've contacted her. Her function card is still in effect and she's still hiding. She said she'll meet us at the hospital entrance tomorrow morning." Yu Xiao said, "Are Liu Yu and the others okay?"
"They're all fine." Zhao Lan said, "When are you coming downstairs? Shall we go eat together?"
"No, I'm already eating." Yu Xiao glanced at the wise man who was sitting next to him and staring at him, and said, "I can't come to see you tonight. Let's meet at the hospital entrance tomorrow morning."
Putting down his phone, the wise man threw a freshly peeled shrimp into Yu Xiao's bowl.
Yu Xiao had never been treated so considerately before, and she felt a little embarrassed. She said, "Don't just peel it for me, you eat it too, you eat it too."
The wise man peeled another one, "I like watching you eat."
"..." Yu Xiao got goosebumps all over her body, and she was afraid that the wise man would say something corny again, so she didn't dare to say anything and just ate the shrimp silently.
"What is your world like?" The wise man asked, "Can you tell me about it?"
"Of course." As long as it wasn't corny, Yu Xiao would say anything, "My world is similar to yours, but it's much bigger, and there's no such thing as a wise man..."
This was the first time that Yu Xiao had said so much to the dungeon NPC, and with the wise man asking questions from time to time, she kept talking.
The two of them talked at the dining table at first, and then went to the sofa, mainly because Yu Xiao was a little sleepy.
When Yu Xiao opened her eyes, she found that it was already daybreak, and the dim sun was still in the east. She rubbed her eyes and wondered when she fell asleep last night.
When she turned her head, she saw a face very close.
Yu Xiao was so scared that her heart almost stopped. The wise man said, "Did you sleep well?" "
...Yes." Yu Xiao pressed her pounding heart and asked doubtfully, "You didn't look at me like this all night, did you?"
"Yes." The wise man was very frank.
"..."
When she thought about the time when she was asleep, there was always someone staring at her intently, and Yu Xiao felt sick.
"Go wash up." The wise man: "I'll ask someone to bring breakfast over."
The breakfast was very rich. After breakfast, the wise man took Yu Xiao's hand and the two walked into the elevator together.
This was the first time in so many years that Zhizhe left the top floor. His bodyguards had already made all preparations and set up control around the hospital in advance to prevent anyone from getting close to there.
Zhizhe was still wearing a snow-white Tang suit, with long black hair draped behind him. He went downstairs with Yu Xiao's hands. Whenever people in the company saw him, they would show extremely enthusiastic eyes.
However, Zhizhe didn't care at all and just left the Zhizhe Building.
Standing downstairs of the Zhizhe Building, Zhizhe looked around, and Yu Xiao said, "How does it feel to get out?" "It
's just so-so." Zhizhe said, "Let's walk."
"Huh." Yu Xiao smiled proudly, "You want to see more of the scenery outside, right?"
Zhizhe: "I want to stay with you for a while."
"..." He started to be corny again! !
Yu Xiao didn't dare to say anything more, and just walked hand in hand with the wise man on the street?
The wise man's building was not far from the hospital. After walking for about twenty minutes, he could see the hospital. Yu Xiao was relieved, thinking that although this disposable function card was easy to use, the side effects were also quite serious. He had to be careful next time he used it.
"Hey!"
"Hey!!"
Someone shouted behind her. Yu Xiao turned around and saw a fat man running towards her. She squinted her eyes and felt that the man looked familiar.
"I knew you would pass by here again." The fat man ran over breathlessly and saw the wise man. He was a little surprised. Why is someone dressed like this?
"You are..." Yu Xiao remembered, "the owner of a mobile phone repair shop."
"You don't remember me after just one day?" The owner of the mobile phone shop exaggeratedly asked.
"You're looking for me?" Yu Xiao was a little surprised. "What's the matter?"
"Yes." The mobile phone store owner raised his hand, which contained a mobile phone charger. The owner said a little embarrassedly: "I remembered last night that I actually have an old-fashioned mobile phone charger at home. It belonged to my father. Later, he passed away, and I kept it. You can take it."
Yu Xiao was a little surprised. "This..."
"Oh, it's useless for me to keep this thing, so I might as well give it to you." The owner said: "You want a charger, do you want to know if your elders left any words for you in the mobile phone?"
"Ah." Yu Xiao said quickly: "Yes, thank you."
"Oh, thank you, it's nothing." The boss shook his head in embarrassment, stuffed the charger to Yu Xiao, and said, "You are busy, I have to go back to the store."
Yu Xiao held the charger, feeling a little complicated.
"Let's go." The wise man led her and continued to walk.
When they reached the door of the hospital, a dark figure jumped out from the corner, "Sister Xiao!!!!"
Yu Xiao looked closely and found that it was a dirty, tattered and smelly person. The voice sounded like Zhou Xiaozhen.
"Xiaozhen?" Yu Xiao took two steps back.
"It's me, Xiaojie." Zhou Xiaozhen wiped her face, "You don't even recognize me?"
"How did you get into this state?"
Zhou Xiaozhen was so dirty at this time, her clothes and shoes were tattered, and she looked like a senior member of the Beggars' Gang.
"Wuwuwu... I'm so miserable, I was chased by so many people yesterday, and I finally hid, and the rats and cockroaches started to chase me again..."
