Chapter 44 Chapter 44 (End of Text) Date...
Three months later, Jiangcheng.
Outside the university gate, Jiang Yiyuan, dragging his luggage, walked to the curb while calling Jiang Shizao, "Brother, are you home yet?"
"arrive."
Jiang Shizao had just returned to the apartment and came down from upstairs before answering his sister's call.
"Brother, wait for us. Xianhao has already picked me up. We will be back soon!"
Jiang Yiyuan found He Xianhao standing on the side of the road. He Xianhao was tall and very conspicuous standing next to the car.
Seeing Jiang Yiyuan, He Xianhao also waved to his sister.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Jiang Shizao's voice was gentle. After hanging up the phone, his fingers pinched the envelope in his hand, intentionally or unintentionally.
After a long while, Jiang Shizao finally took action. He walked into his bedroom, closed the door, and then his eyes fell on the envelope in his hand again.
This is not his letter.
Wen Zhi's name was written in the recipient column on the envelope.
“What on earth am I doing…”
Jiang Shizao squatted down and closed his eyes in shame.
He actually stole Wen Zhi's letter.
Yes, this letter was originally stuffed in the gap under the door of Wen Zhi's house.
But when Jiang Shizao saw it just as he went upstairs, he pulled out the letter from the crack in the door for some unknown reason. Then he returned to his apartment like a thief.
In fact, he really stole Wen Zhi's letter.
In fact, Jiang Shi had already found out who lived upstairs more than two months ago. This was an old neighborhood, and most people had been neighbors for almost their entire lives, so it wasn't difficult to find out who lived there.
Although Wen Zhi hardly interacted with anyone in the community, Jiang Shizao still confirmed that Wen Zhi lived upstairs from him.
Back in Lingcheng, in that dream Jiang Shizao had... Wen Zhi in the dream said that he had actually always lived upstairs from her...
It turned out that Wen Zhi really lived upstairs from him.
And Wen Zhi has lived in their neighborhood for ten years...
But after waking up, Jiang Shizao never saw Wen Zhi again.
At this moment, the man squatting in his bedroom stared motionlessly at the letter he had stolen.
In fact, in the past few months, Jiang Shizao would occasionally accidentally... pass by the upstairs when returning home, like today... but he had never once met the neighbor who was supposed to live upstairs from him.
The old apartment upstairs has been deserted for a long time.
Once, when Jiang Shizao was coming down from upstairs, he was caught red-handed by Jiang Yiyuan who was returning home on the weekend.
Jiang Yiyuan looked at his brother who had just returned from upstairs with a strange look. After hesitating for a long time, he still asked with concern and responsibility: "Brother, you...how long has this situation lasted? You just...don't remember which floor you live on? Or..."
Jiang Yiyuan was certain that her brother had never had this problem before. Her brother had just woken up from the car accident, and Jiang Yiyuan was constantly watching to see if he had any sequelae.
If you are sick, you must treat it quickly.
Jiang Shizao interrupted his sister with a red face, then pulled Jiang Yiyuan and quickly returned to their own home.
Then today, a letter appeared under Wen Zhi's door, and now the letter is in Jiang Shizao's hands.
…
He Xianhao just finished his work report at the RIDT headquarters yesterday. The investigation team gave him two days off. He just returned to Jiangcheng today and came to pick up his sister on the way.
Three months have passed since Jiang Shizao woke up from the hospital.
He Xianhao and Jiang Yiyuan are preparing to make a sumptuous dinner at home tonight to celebrate Jiang Shizao finding a new job!
Since life got back on track, Jiang Shizao quit his previous job and chose to work in a bookstore. Jiang Yiyuan was a little surprised when she first heard about her brother's plan, but after that surprise, as a sister, she naturally gave her brother 100% support.
There was just one thing Jiang Yiyuan didn't quite understand. "Brother Xianhao, why didn't Wen Zhi come to see me?"
When Mingming's brother had just had a car accident, Wen Zhi was even more anxious than she was. However, after her brother woke up, this person suddenly disappeared again, just like when he first appeared.
When Jiang Shizao just woke up, He Xianhao found an opportunity to pull Jiang Yiyuan aside and told her not to mention Wen Zhi to her brother for the time being.
"Why?" Jiang Yiyuan asked the same question at that time.
"I'll tell your brother about Wen Zhi. But try not to mention Wen Zhi in front of Shi Zao..." He Xianhao told his sister at the time. He was mainly worried that mentioning Wen Zhi would irritate Jiang Shi Zao.
Especially when the other party's whereabouts are still unknown.
After that, when Jiang Shizao's condition was completely stable, He Xianhao talked to him about Wen Zhi one day after Jiang Shizao was discharged from the hospital.
After seeing Jiang Shizao's attitude towards Wen Zhi in Lingcheng, He Xianhao did not think of hiding what he knew.
No matter what, Jiang Shizao had the right to make his own choice and the right to know what happened.
So He Xianhao spent an entire afternoon reporting to Jiang Shizao how Wen Zhi found him in the hospital, how the other party helped Jiang Shizao survive the car accident, and... the fact that those who tried to trap Jiang Shizao in Lingcheng were Wen Zhi's soul fragments.
Of course, after Jiang Shizao woke up, He Xianhao immediately reported the situation of Wen Zhi and Ling Cheng to the investigation team.
At that time in Lingcheng, when Jiang Shizao finally fell into a coma, He Xianhao suspected that it was Wen Zhi's doing.
He Xianhao saw clearly that Wen Zhi's final condition was very unstable.
After Shi Zao fell into a coma, the soul fragments in the man's body began to awaken, and different souls were fighting for control of the body. Finally, a black river appeared behind the madman. The river extended into the underground of Lingcheng, as if leading to an endless abyss.
When He Xianhao's consciousness left Lingcheng, the last thing he saw was Wen Zhi sinking into the black river.
...After waking up, He Xianhao confirmed that Jiang Shizao was fine and immediately reported the matter.
In fact, I also had a little bit of luck, hoping that the investigation team could find a way to rescue Wen Zhi.
Although Wen Zhi is 001, the RIDT investigation team has existed for so many years, and its strength in all aspects is both complete and powerful.
When He Xianhao met the captain Song Chenyue, he immediately told the commander-in-chief that Wen Zhi might lose control.
He Xianhao later told Jiang Shizao that Wen Zhi might lose control.
The man himself said that what he split out were the parts of himself that were out of control. Now the other party has re-integrated those out-of-control souls. If... if Wen Zhi was still alive, he might have gone crazy too.
Of course, He Xianhao later learned that Wen Zhi must still be alive. 001 hadn't disappeared, nor had he been replaced. Confirming this wasn't difficult for the investigation team.
After listening to He Xianhao's narration, Jiang Shizao was silent for a long time before asking him a question:
"Wen Zhi entered Lingcheng for me... to recover those souls?"
Jiang Shizao seemed a little bit unbelievable.
He Xianhao sighed and told him: "It's too early. That person has been secretly in love with you for a long time."
When Jiang Shizao heard that Wen Zhi had a crush on him, his expression was even more shocked than when he knew that Wen Zhi entered Lingcheng for him.
"He has a crush on me...?"
…
The car was driving on the way to the supermarket. When it stopped at a red light, He Xianhao looked at his sister and asked, "Is your brother doing okay lately?"
"It's normal." Jiang Yiyuan said and thought for a moment, "Oh, except for the thing I told you last time, my brother kept running upstairs... there's nothing else."
He Xianhao tapped the steering wheel with his fingers. When Jiang Yiyuan told him about this for the first time, He Xianhao knew why Jiang Shizao went upstairs.
For so many years, the investigation team has been tracking down 001, who actually lived in that old community, upstairs from Shi Zao.
Thinking of this, He Xianhao spat inwardly. What a pervert.
"So you haven't answered my question, Brother Xianhao, what secret do you and Wen Zhi have?"
"...I have no secrets with him." He Xianhao choked and said tactfully, "He has a secret with your brother, right?"
He Xianhao met someone when he went to the headquarters to report on his work this time, which is why he found a reason to meet Jiang Shizao as soon as he returned to Jiangcheng.
I'll have to discuss this with Shi Zao when we meet later...
"Wow, really?" Jiang Yiyuan's eyes widened. She had felt that Wen Zhi had deep feelings for her brother when they were in the hospital before. Sure enough, "So what happened? Where did he go? My brother doesn't seem to have contacted him recently..."
After receiving He Xianhao's affirmative response, Jiang Yiyuan thought for half a second, and then it suddenly dawned on her, "Yes, no wonder I feel like my brother is sometimes like he's been heartbroken, that's it." Before, she thought it was one of the sequelae of the car accident.
"..." He Xianhao coughed dryly. He had just casually said he had a secret, so how could his sister immediately conclude that the two were in love?
That's fine, He Xianhao said, "That person will be returning to Jiangcheng soon. Ask your brother later if he's willing to meet this person."
"Wow." Hearing this, Jiang Yiyuan sighed again, "Why does it sound like my brother dumped her? Is Wen Zhi trying to win her back now?"
He Xianhao: "..." Whatever my sister says is fine.
After the red light turned green, He Xianhao restarted the car. To be honest, when he went to RIDT headquarters to report on his work this time and saw Wen Zhi there, He Xianhao was surprised but didn't seem particularly surprised.
This guy is still alive. He seems to be doing well. He even chose to join the investigation team.
The only thing that might make He Xianhao a little depressed is that Wen Zhi is about to be transferred to the Jiangcheng investigation team.
Now the other party is not only the chief researcher of RIDT headquarters, on the same level as the commander-in-chief Song Chenyue, but also the highest-ranking officer of the Jiangcheng Investigation Center. In other words, this person has become his direct superior.
He Xianhao's career ambition is very depressed.
But I can also understand the investigation team's arrangement.
I heard that during the few months that guy disappeared in the Dark Bell River, he brought back many souls of those who failed in the copy.
There are also human souls wandering in Bell City or unknown space.
Because of Wen Zhi, those who were originally in a coma began to wake up one after another.
He Xianhao also found out that Wen Zhi's parents were both from RIDT Academy of Sciences.
…
When Jiang Yiyuan returned home, she didn't see her brother in the living room, so she called out, "Brother, where are you? Wen Zhi asked if you'd like to meet him for a date—"
He Xianhao, who was changing his shoes, staggered and almost fell.
Almost at the same time, some noise came from Jiang Shizao's room.
When the bedroom door opened, Jiang Shizao looked at his sister outside the door with a look of panic... and He Xianhao.
The young man asked with unsteady breathing, "What? Who wants to date me?"
Jiang Yiyuan was also surprised by her brother's reaction. She looked at He Xianhao, then said to her brother, "Wen Zhi?"
"But brother, what were you doing in the room just now...?"
Jiang Yiyuan knew her brother too well. Judging from his reaction, he definitely cared about Wen Zhi. But her brother's expression now... didn't he look a bit guilty?
Jiang Shizao was of course panicked! Just as he was extremely entangled and struggling, wondering if he could get through the letter to see if there was any recent news about Wen Zhi... then he heard his sister's voice and the name of the letter's owner -
Jiang Shizao was so scared that he thought he had been caught.
My brain processed the information only slowly, and it seemed like my sister was talking about meeting up for a date or something like that?
But these words contained too much information, and Jiang Shizao was still confused.
Finally he looked at He Xianhao.
Jiang Yiyuan also looked at He Xianhao.
He Xianhao sighed, put down the dish in his hand, and said, "Wen Zhi is back. It's early. Would you like to make an appointment with him... ahem, meet up?"
Influenced by Jiang Yiyuan, He Xianhao almost blurted out the word "date" spontaneously, but luckily he bit his tongue in the end.
However, these words coming from He Xianhao and Jiang Yiyuan had completely different effects. Jiang Shizao's brain processing of them instantly became smoother.
First of all, this thing will be true.
More importantly...
He Xianhao said that Wen Zhi was back.
That means Wen Zhi is fine—!
Finally...
After a long time, Jiang Shizao suddenly felt a little embarrassed again.
He looked at his sister, then at He Xianhao, and finally asked, "Did he say what time it was?"
"..." He Xianhao was silent for a moment. He took out his phone and glanced at the text message Wen Zhi had sent him. Then he replied.
Jiang Yiyuan exclaimed, "Brother, you look so anxious." Does he really want to go on a date with the other person tonight?
Jiang Shizao smiled awkwardly and hid the letter behind his back again, "Is there one?"
It’s over! No wonder Wen Zhi, who hadn’t received any letters in the past few months, suddenly received a letter. It turned out that the owner of the house had returned.
Oops, he needs to put the letter back quickly!!
