Episode 39: Returning to Dreams
"You...... Who is it?"
"Who are you?"
"I, I'm Ling Qi. ”
"You're lying, you're not!"
"Why do you say I'm not?"
"Because I'm Ling Qi!"
Ling Qi's eyes widened, it was a kind of panic, a kind of trembling, as if his heart was snatched away by others, grabbed in his hands and kneaded wantonly, maybe the next second it would be crushed into a blur of flesh and blood.
Surrounded by a vast expanse of darkness, she stared at her figure without evidence in the middle, and in the distance was a blurry ball of light, slowly expanding.
Am I dreaming? Ling Qi thought dumbfounded, some broken memory fragments slowly gathered and pieced together into a picture from a few minutes ago.
The cheers in the stadium were higher and higher, and Yu Nan had a home advantage when his strength was superior, and the results of the game had gradually become clear. In the third quarter, the main players basically went off the court after Lin Fan's beautiful 2+1 dunk, and the core of Yu Nan, who was sent as a substitute, became Li Feng, and his solid basic skills and strong offensive desire made Polytechnic's already weak interior line even more vulnerable.
However, with Lin Fan's departure, the advantages of Polytechnic's outside projection began to gradually come into play. Since the interior players are inferior to the opponent, Polytechnic simply sent several pitchers to form a fast and dexterous small man lineup, and opened the formation to resolutely play a large-scale transfer. After a couple of consecutive three-pointers, Polytechnic instead closed the deficit to just seven points before the end of the third quarter.
"Ah Qi, do you think it's possible for Polytechnic's style of play to overtake in the last quarter?" Before the fourth quarter began, Guan Ying asked Ling Qi to predict the final trend of the game, compared to her own pure interest in half a bucket of water, she felt that Ling Qi, who had good ball skills, should have a more authoritative opinion.
Ling Qi stared at the Yu Nan player in the rest area in the distance and said, "It is estimated that it is difficult, and now it is possible that Polytechnic is playing like this because Yu Nan has replaced all the offensive points on the outside." Especially Lin Fan, his level can't be prevented at all without a bag, but with Tao Liqi's protection and skilled inside and outside passing, even if Lin Fan is frozen, there must be other outside gaps, and the long-range shooting ability of those two guards is not worse than the pitchers of Polytechnic!"
"Then the coach deliberately replaced Lin Fan's seniors to rest?" Jin Yanling said as if he didn't understand.
"Yes, it was enough to maintain a seven-point lead in the third quarter, and the opposing center has already committed 4 fouls and will be sent off if he is not careful. I think in the last quarter, Li Feng, who has a stronger desire to attack, will be retained, and Lin Fan's lethal breakthrough will be used to abolish the inside line of Polytechnic as soon as possible. Without the support of rebounds, coupled with the heavy defense and the need to consume a lot of physical strength, the collapse of Polytechnic is a matter of time. Ling Qi unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip of his drink, then said, "The main forces on the outside are almost rested, and if they want to accelerate the rout of their opponents, now is the best time to mark people in the whole court!"
If these words came from the mouth of a boy, everyone would only admire his understanding of basketball and his sober mind, but it was a girl who spoke, and the eyes of the people around him were more surprised and admired: There are still girls who know so much about football?
In fact, Ling Qi has been suppressing the urge to rush to the field to show her strength, on the surface, she is in high spirits, but a feeling of envy and longing in her heart is slowly sprouting: If you are still a man, why do you just sit on the sidelines and talk so fast? Lin Fan, at this point, you are so happy. And I'm afraid I won't have such an opportunity again in my life......
The whistle at the beginning of the fourth quarter has been blown, and sure enough, as Ling Qi predicted, Yu Nan sent all the main forces on the outside, and Li Feng and Tao Li Qi on the inside. On the contrary, Polytechnic's interior line has been stretched, the level of defense of the bench is insufficient, and the main center with 4 fouls on his back can only continue to play, and it is a minute to resist for one more minute.
As soon as the guards of the Institute of Technology received the ball and turned around, they met the close care of the defenders, and Yu Nan really used the whole court to press! The guards of the Institute of Technology who were caught off guard struggled a few times to force the ball, and were intercepted by Lin Fan without any suspense, and then scored a dunk in one stop, and the stadium burst into cheers that almost lifted off the roof.
Guan Ying gently tugged at the corner of Ling Qi's clothes, and her eyes flashed with admiration: "Ah Qi, did you often play games before, but you guessed it, it's amazing!"
Ling Qi smiled and didn't answer, and raised his head just to meet Lin Fan's gaze, and the boy raised his right fist and lit it up in front of her, expressing his determination to win. Ling Qi had no choice but to smile back politely, frowning as he turned around and threw himself into the next pressing defense.
The Polytechnic team, which was already inferior to others, now encountered such targeted tactics again, and they were at a loss for their skills, and they did not score a point in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter. Seeing that the score difference had more than doubled, and the efforts of the third quarter were instantly wiped out, the mood of this group of young people began to fluctuate irritably, and their movements became bigger.
Another beautiful steal, Tao Li successfully went around the front defense to intercept the opponent's pass that was hoisted into the inside, as soon as he landed, he looked up into the distance, Lin Fan had already spread his long legs and rushed to the front. What else is there to say at this time, Tao Li Qi set up his strong right arm like a bow and arrow, and was thrown forward like a basketball cannonball! When he flew near Lin Fan, his throwing power was old, and he easily stopped the ball, and a beautiful three-step layup had begun to take shape.
The speed of the Polytechnic guard who was chasing after him was a few points faster than Lin Fan's small forward position, and when Lin Fan's last step took off, the red-eyed guy saw that the defense was hopeless, and a hungry tiger pounced and crashed into his back, which was a serious malicious foul! Lin Fan only felt that he was hit in mid-air and lost his center of gravity, and the two people involuntarily smashed into the three girls watching the game on the sidelines.
"Danger!!"
Ling Qi, who reacted the fastest, pushed Jin Yanling and Guan Ying away from him, and the two girls rolled into a ball unexpectedly. It was too late, and before Ling Qi could turn around and make a self-protection move, he felt as if his forehead and chest had been hit by a cannonball, and the back of his head hit the ground heavily, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
"Aqi, Aqi, what's wrong with you!"
The first coma only lasted for a short dozen seconds, and Ling Qi felt a heart-piercing pain in the back of his head, and slowly opened his eyes. Jin Yanling and Guan Ying blushed nervously, tears couldn't stop spilling; Lin Fan angrily grabbed the opponent's guard's jersey and slammed him on the basket pillar, and then rushed over and shouted nervously at himself; in the distance, Tao Li Qi and Li Feng opened their arms to block the players who were about to fight, and the scene was in chaos......
A buzzing buzz sounded in Ling Qi's ears, and just as he wanted to say something, he felt that his whole body was light, and he had been hugged by Lin Fanheng. The boy's teeth trembled nervously, and he rushed out of the gymnasium like crazy, and Jin Yanling and Guan Ying were left far behind, and they couldn't see it in a few clicks. Under the bump, another dull pain hit, and Ling Qi only had time to see the corners of Lin Fan's eyes that had oozed tears, and then he passed out again.
I don't know how long time has passed, Ling Qi heard the blurred whisper in a trance, and then opened his eyes to this strange and ethereal space. The light cluster in the distance had already approached a distance of less than two meters, and after Ling Qi saw the things in the light cluster clearly, his whole body couldn't stop trembling because of panic.
It was the image of a girl, a person who was exactly like her, to be exact, her daughter. The girl's mouth didn't move, but Ling Qi heard the words that had been repeated, as if it was directly tearing open the flesh and smashing into her brain:
"I'm Ling Qi! You're not!"
(Next, in order to facilitate the reader's distinction, the original soul is named "Ling Qi", and the protagonist's soul is named "Ling Qi", and the title will be restored to its original state after it is separated from the sea of knowledge.) )
"It turns out that the original soul of this body, you haven't disappeared at all. Ling Qi gradually calmed down, looked down at herself, and she was disappointed to find that she had not returned to Ling Qi's appearance, she was still the image of that woman.
"If you think I'm not gone, then I'm here, and if you think I'm gone, I'm really gone. Ling Qi's tone was very flat, but it made people feel a trace of sadness.
"Are you holding a grudge against me, a trespasser who took your body?"
"Why do you hold a grudge? Although you are not Ling Qi, you are also Ling Qi, you and I were originally the same person. ”
Alone?
Ling Qi's mouth was slightly open, trying to comprehend the strange scene in front of him, but his right hand was raised in a ghostly manner, wanting to touch the girl's soul. At the same time, Ling Qi raised his left hand, and the movements of the two souls were the same, but the left and right were opposite, as if they were in the same step. Finally, the two hands were closed together through an invisible barrier.
"But I'm not from this world after all, and if you want to get back everything that belongs to you, I'm not qualified to argue with anything. Ling Qi gritted his teeth and squeezed out this sentence.
"And what about your pursuit, what about your goal?"
"Heaven has mercy on me and has given me this opportunity, which I cherish very much! So, although I am not in a position to refute it, I still want to beg you: can I continue to use this body greedily, I need it to fulfill my long-cherished wish. ”
"Then what should I do? Can I only sink forever in this vast sea of knowledge? Outside are my parents, my family, my friends, my life...... Are you worthy of me?"
"I ...... I do not know. Ling Qi lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly into the girl's eyes, "I know that I am selfish, and let you fall into the abyss with me without choice to endure these pains. However, when I enjoy the happiness of family and friendship, it cannot belong to you. All I can say is I'm sorry for you, but I can't give up right now. ”
"I know, I don't blame you, it's providence, you and I can't resist. Ling Qi's eyes were full of loneliness, but the light around his body gradually brightened, as if a change was brewing.
