In the rental house, the doors and windows were closed all day, and there was a murky smell in the air. Sun Suhe opened the window and poured himself and Alice a glass of boiled water each, and a cool breeze whistled by, which made people feel refreshed.

The two sat down on the sofa, Sun Suhe clapped his hands in imitation of Alice, nodded his ears again, and then pointed to the air around him, and couldn't wait to ask: "This, how did you do it, is there really such a thing as magic or superpowers?"

Alice nodded solemnly: "Magic does exist. And, in my world, blocking out sounds is just a trivial trick. However, what I didn't expect was that I could still use magic in this world. Think about it, if I can use magic, how is it possible that no one has discovered a similar method in the long history of mankind? ”

Sun Suhe's heart arose with an irrepressible excitement, and goosebumps arose all over his body. He eagerly asked, "Then what magic do you have, can you show me it?" ”

Alice smiled bitterly, "You are equivalent to a person who doesn't understand addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and is asking a mathematician if he knows mathematics, how can he tell you? And, perhaps because I haven't adapted to the world yet, my magic hasn't worked since I got here. Well, so be it, I'll show you the most basic. ”

As she spoke, Alice stretched out her right hand, her palm flat upwards. Sun Suhe saw a warm green light appear out of thin air in Alice's palm.

The green light seemed to be a seed, germinating and branching at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few breaths, it grew into a small grass seedling glowing with green mangs, which seemed to be real and illusory.

The cool breeze blows, and the grass seedlings sway with the wind, swaying.

Sun Suhe was fascinated, and the excitement in his heart was indescribable. He couldn't help but ask, "Can I touch it?"

"Absolutely. Alice smiled at the corner of her eyebrows, looking at Sun Suhe's excited appearance with interest.

His fingers cautiously approached the grass seedling that seemed to be composed of pure green light, Sun Suhe felt a faint resistance coming from his fingertips, and with a slight force, his fingers actually passed directly through the grass seedling, as if passing through water.

Without waiting for Sun Suhe to ask, Alice explained carefully: "This is a plant between the virtual and the real, absorbing the owner's thoughts and growing. With the help of it, it can easily sense the thoughts of the creatures around it, and it is also one of the common catalysts for casting magic. ”

"Well, translated into Chinese......" Alice said after a moment's silence, "let's call it Niancao." ”

Sun Suhe was so excited that his mouth was dry. "It's, it's incredible. To be honest, even though magic is actually in front of my eyes right now, it's hard for me to imagine that this is a world of magic. It's incredible. ”

Alice smiled charmingly as she looked at the glowing green grass in her palm. "If you think about it, it's not that hard to accept. After all, our perception of the world is entirely dependent on the information we receive. Although this era is known as the information age, you can know the news thousands of miles away, but do you know the name of your downstairs neighbor? We seem to be drowning in the sea of information all the time, but in fact, the information we are exposed to is constantly chosen by ourselves or others, consciously or unconsciously, and we still know very little about the world. ”

It took a lot of effort for Sun Suhe to finally take his eyes off this Nian grass.

Since magic can be real, ...... Alice's other words were like a spreading haze that always lay across Sun Suhe's chest. Sun Suhe pondered for a long time, and finally asked the question that had been entangled in a slightly trembling tone: "When and how did you, or me, die?"

I can't answer that question because I don't know the truth either. Alice replied crisply.

"I don't know? Countless thoughts flashed through Sun Suhe's mind in an instant, and the time-travel plots in many comics, novels, and movies he had read in the past suddenly became distinct. Does she really not know? Or is she reluctant to say, if I don't die, will it affect her existence? So in order to ensure history, will she ...... This thought made Sun Suhe shudder.

Alice casually played with her hanging hair and said with a heavy face: "When I was reborn in my current body, I knew very well how important my memories as Sun Suhe were to me, so I used to spend a lot of effort to carefully sort out the memories of the past with magic. That's why I was able to tell you everything about you in the noodle shop before, and I'm afraid you don't remember any of the things yourself. But I don't know why, no matter what method I used, the clear memory is only to this day. I know what you did yesterday, I know what you did in the afternoon, and I know that you don't have to work at a convenience store at night. But I don't remember exactly what will happen after today. I only vaguely knew that you were going to die recently because you were involved in an extraordinary incident. This feeling is not so much a memory as an emotion, an emotion that is still unforgettable even after forgetting everything. ”

Sun Suhe's mind flashed with inspiration, and he hurriedly asked: "Wait, you said that until today, in your memory, did you meet a person named Alice today?" ”

Alice shook her head, "No, in my memory, I went home from dinner today and went to sleep on the computer after playing for a while. ”

Sun Suhe clapped his hands lightly, "In other words, history is not unchangeable. Then it is possible that I will not die, or I may die and die, and I will not have a chance to be reincarnated like you. Damn, is this good news or bad news? Having said that, I think the point in time when you're back into this world is probably not accidental. ”

Alice smiled knowingly and said, "It's so easy to talk to you. That's it, because of my appearance, the reality has been different from my memory. As for why I came back to this point in time, whether it was accidental or inevitable, there is no way for me to verify the answer for the time being. However, I am not without knowledge, at least for the crisis you are about to encounter, and an incident that happened today has given me some hints. Guess what's going on?"

"Today's matter?" Sun Suhe picked up the water cup, took a sip, and analyzed: "If it were me, today, today, by the way, jump off the building, if I had known that someone would jump off the building, no matter what, I would always try to stop him." And you will magic, should, wait a minute, you stopped, but it didn't work out. Is it because the magic is out of order? Or is there something wrong with the jump itself?"

Alice shook the Niancao in her hand, "I said it before, with the help of this, Eh, Niancao, you can sense the thoughts of the creatures around you." As long as you immerse your mind in it, you can feel that the surroundings are pitch black, but there are points of light suspended, which is the embodiment of the idea. Moreover, as the mind changes, the point of light will change accordingly. Generally speaking, the spot of light for ordinary people is a tiny milky white one. However, if it is a person who is about to jump off a building, whether he is disheartened and decided, or he is in a dilemma and hesitates, his mind is bound to be far stronger than the ordinary people around him, and the light emitted will be very different. There's no way I can't find out. However, this afternoon, I actually heard a loud noise, and then I noticed a large-scale change in the minds of the people around me, and then I realized that the jump had happened. ”

"Could it be that he didn't commit suicide, but accidentally fell from the building?" Sun Suhe guessed.

Alice shook her head: "No, even if it's an accident, in the short time between his fall from the building to his death, his point of light will change dramatically, just like fireworks in the night sky, I won't miss it." I thought carefully that the person who fell from the building should have been unconscious or dead before the fall, that is, there must be a murderer who pushed him down the stairs. But the intensity of the killing intent is by no means inferior to the death intent, and it is impossible for me to see it. There is only one possibility, and that the perpetrator has mastered some kind of magic to hide himself. ”

"Is it possible that the murderer was an extremely calm person, so you can't find out. Sun Suhe thought about it and put forward his own guess.

"No, no, no, Nencao senses thoughts, not emotions. The more people who can control their emotions, the stronger their minds are, and I won't fail to find out. ”

Sun Suhe bit his lip, "Whether it is accidental or inevitable, today is definitely a crucial node. And the jumping off the building that happened today is very strange. Do you mean that from this jumping incident, you might be able to find some clues about my future crisis?"

"That's what it means, and even if my death isn't directly related to this event, through this event, we may be able to reach out to the people in this world who have mastered magic. It's just that eighty percent of the other party is not a friendly character. Are you afraid?"

"His grandmother's, can you not be afraid? To be honest, I'm scared to death now. Sun Suhe smiled and patted his neck, and then said: "However, since stretching out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, can you still sit and wait to be killed?
