Chapter 1: Karma Arises Like Birth Act 2: Another World (2)

Just as Yu Wei was sighing for history, her shoulders were slammed. Shocked, she jumped up from her seat and found that behind her was the blonde woman who was helping her on the Rhine, that is, Lin Jingru's roommate, Christine Mathilde Schüzer, the only daughter of the mayor of Munich.

"Mia, what are you doing? Spoke Chinese that I didn't understand at all. Christina smiled sweetly, two deep dimples blooming on her cheeks, "Great, you are so proficient in German now, you will definitely be able to adapt well to the study life here in the future!" Believe me! She sank down again, annoyed, "By the way, the meteorological department actually sued me, and they were also very confused about the 'inexplicable' rain!" It's ironic, since they can't accurately forecast the weather, what's the use of keeping them? ”

Yu Wei patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, glad that she muttered in Chinese that the other party did not understand, otherwise if she rashly spoke German and was heard by the other party, it would be a big deal.

"Thank you for helping me on the Rhine. Otherwise, I'll be miserable. Yu Wei is grateful to Christina, after all, if she hadn't cleared the siege in time before, I'm afraid that she would have been arrested as a suspicious character by the ** official. And, according to Christina's admiration for her language in the woods, she learned the important detail that the real Lin Jingru was not fluent in German, but the blonde woman's expression did not seem to care. But after all, he was not at ease, and raised his eyebrows: "By the way, Christina, is it better for me to change to the original non-standard German?" ”

This question seems to be careless, but in fact there is a mystery inside, which is clearly to test whether the other party is aware of or suspects something. After all, after Hu Ruotong's incident, he had to be more thoughtful. Moreover, in this different time and space, we must be more careful step by step and be careful in everything.

Christina didn't know what the other party meant, and shook her head again and again: "What are you going to do when you change it?" Mia, it's good that you're fluent in German! I'm really happy for you that you've been so fluent in German for only half a month. ”

Yu Wei looked at the other party's expression, using the knowledge of medical psychology she had learned to conclude that she had not lied, and was a little relieved, secretly thinking that she was lucky to eat and live with this rough roommate. If the other party is thoughtful, he will definitely grasp the mystery and ask to the end, so that her true identity may be completely exposed. It's just that the daughter of the mayor of Munich actually lives with Chinese students, which is really puzzling. When I was wondering, I didn't dare to ask Christina directly, so I had to suppress this question for the time being, and leave it for later to explore slowly.

"The Buddha of great compassion and Guanyin! I wish I could return to the future in my sleep one day, and I would have had a nightmare! Also, before I return to the future, I must not let that 'Lin Jingru' appear! Although she did not believe in God, Yu Wei still put the jade Guanyin pendant hanging from her chest into the palm of her hand before going to bed, lowered her eyes and palms, and prayed sincerely in Chinese.

With a "bang", in the darkness, a bucket of water splashed on a body curled up on the ground. The man was doused with water and opened his eyes from his coma, and when he was about to get up, he was horrified to find that his mouth was tightly gagged, and his hands were tightly cuffed behind his back, making it extremely difficult to move. The original carefully woven twisted hair braid has long been messy, wet and clinging to the face and neck!

'Kidnapping!? What a bold man! Who dared to kidnap her Lin Jingru, didn't she know that her father was-'It's a pity that she was gagged, she had to make a "hmm" sound, and her body was on the cold and dark gray marble floor, squirming like a snake.

"Sir, she's awake." In the darkness, a deep male voice sounded, "Do you need me to leave for a while?" ”

"Huh! No, you're not 'them'. Another male voice sounded, with a smile, but his voice was as cold as the frost of the moon, "By the way, how did you arrange the two people involved in 'this matter'?" ”

"This—sir, you think that's good—" The male voice hesitated, lowering his voice, and his voice became more and more indistinct.

Lin Jingru listened carefully to the conversation between the two of them, and secretly wondered if they had kidnapped her? I vaguely remember that I went to a picnic on the Rhine with Christina and others before, and then I was suddenly attacked for some reason, and I didn't even know the other party's appearance and was unconscious. It turned out that the previous turmoil in her heart was that the tip of her nose was sore with remorse, and she had to hold back her tears and look around at this dim place where not even a trace of light leaked.

Seeing Lin Jingru's dazed expression, Andrew sneered again in the dark, stretched out his hand to signal Ancoste to approach him, and said in a cold voice: "You 'handled' it very well this time!" Come, treat this little slut with me! ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Jingru heard a few heavy boots coming towards her. Before she could take a closer look, her long hair was grabbed by someone, and a piercing pain ran from her scalp to her brain. Then her mouth was empty, and the long-lost freedom made her take a long breath greedily, and subconsciously shouted: "Someone! Help me! ”

Andrew was furious, raised his palm and waved it, with a crisp "snap", and hit Lin Jingru's left cheek impartially. He scolded hatefully, "Stinky bitch! Do you think that if you change your name and surname, you will be able to escape from my palm lightly? Haha, I thought you eloped back to China with that bastard, but it turned out that you were hiding on campus, you were really bold enough! ”

Lin Jingru's cheeks were swollen by this slap, and the hot pain made her gasp, and the sweetness between her mouths swelled. She couldn't hold it back, her head stretched forward suddenly, and she spit out all the blood-mixed spittle, and the tears couldn't stop falling. She couldn't understand the meaning of the other person's words, and she was sure that she had never known any Germans other than her class when she had just arrived in Germany. She tried her best to widen her eyes and look at each other, but the room was so dark that she couldn't see her fingers, and suddenly the firelight flashed, and she saw a pair of ice blue eyes looking at her with strong hatred, and the murderous intent emanating from those eyes made her tremble all over!

In my memory, almost all the people who have this murderous aura are those short men from the Dongying Islands who are dressed in khaki military uniforms. Now that he is locked up in this dark room, is it the order of the German ** side?

"Please, let me go!!" The more Lin Jingru thought about it, the more frightened she became, and finally cried, all the previous arrogance and arrogance had faded cleanly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I just offended you, I was wrong! Please let me go!! ”

Hearing her beg for mercy, Andrew frowned and stared at Lin Jingru, and for a moment, a trace of doubt flashed in his ice-blue eyes, and his eyebrows twisted into a vertical line. Through the flames of the bean-sized kerosene lamp, he clearly noticed the difference between her temperament and "her" - his "she" was always a quiet and elegant person with a calm smile. And the woman named "Lin Jingru" in front of him had an inexplicable disgusting aura, which even made him nauseous.

How can it be? She's not "she"!? Unexpectedly, this is the first time in his life that he has caught the wrong person!

Andrew clenched his fists, stared angrily at Ancoste who was standing beside him, and scolded: "Bastard! Along the way, didn't you realize a certain aura of her? ”

Ancoste was stunned and shook his head hurriedly: "No." After he successfully arrested Lin Jingru, he hurried to the Chief's Castle to resume his life, how could he have any spare time to pay attention to this? Curiously, he leaned forward slightly, looked at Lin Jingru, and was soon speechless by the strange feeling she had.

"Let me go, let me go! Please, both of you! Facing the two tall German men in front of her, Lin Jingru's body trembled like chaff, sobbing, "I'm just an ordinary Chinese student." My father, Lin Zhengdao, is-"

Andrew looked up and laughed wildly, cutting off Lin Jingru's statement: "Don't show off your ridiculous family background in front of me!" Don't even show off your rotten German in front of me! It's a shame that such beautiful language has been tarnished by you! Didn't you practice our great Germanic language in China's 'Ten Mile Field' before you studied abroad? ”

Lin Jingru's eyes froze, and she immediately knew that the man in front of her who had given her a slap in the face had already known everything about her. Intuitively, she sensed that the other party was brewing a bigger conspiracy, and that she was just a pawn of him. I couldn't help but feel weak, and asked with a crying voice: "You, who are you!?" ”

Staring at Lin Jingru's panicked look, Andrew laughed fiercely, but he had another idea in his heart.

What if you don't find "her" now? Anyway, this woman named Lin Jingru is so similar to "her", isn't it God's "compensation" for him?

He never made the slightest mistake, was, is, and will be.

Thinking of this, Andrew slammed Lin Jingru on the marble floor, turned around and strode away, ignoring Lin Jingru's figure of picking up her life for luck and kowtowing.

***

Outside the window, the rain was murmuring, and the night was as deep as ink.

Yuwei lay on Lin Jingru's bed, tossing and turning. When I remembered that I had only studied in Germany for two days, I suddenly found myself in a dormitory at the University of Munich in 1939. Christina, who lives in the same dormitory, has already fallen asleep due to a daytime outing, and she has no idea how complicated and confused her mood is at this time.

"How did I end up in World War II? Why did you arrange for me to come here? Will I be able to go back to the future? Yu Wei's eyes widened, staring straight at the ceiling, and countless questions kept circling around her mind. I don't know how long it took, she finally felt a little sleepy and slowly closed her eyes.

Suddenly, the closed windows in the dormitory seemed to be pushed open from the outside by an invisible hand, and a light breeze blew and the curtains gently flickered. In this girl's dormitory, which was supposed to be only two people, there was a strange extra person. He was dressed in a pitch-black robe, his face was covered by a hood, and only a pair of emotionless blue eyes were left, staring at the sleeping Yuwei.

"Vivi, wake up." He stepped forward, stretched out his hand to shake her, and said lightly in Chinese, "Time is running out." ”

After a while, Yu Wei's eyebrows moved, and she opened her eyes reluctantly, secretly complaining about who woke her up. She turned her face sideways, and suddenly found a black-robed man standing in front of her, the figure was like a ghost, instinctively, she opened her mouth to exclaim, but for a moment the person tightly covered her mouth.

"Shhhh The man in black raised a finger and signaled her to be quiet, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." ”

Yu Wei nodded hurriedly, judging from the other party's voice, he should be a man. She calmed the pounding heartbeat in her chest. Looking at the man in front of her, inexplicably, she felt so close to this mysterious man, and he exuded a warmth that only a mother could give her. She gradually calmed down, for fear of waking up Christina, who was sleeping on the other side, so she lowered her voice: "Sir, who are you?" How did you get into this place without the housekeeper? You're dressed like a human or a ghost? ”

"What do you say, dear child?" The man in black chuckled twice, waved his sleeve and pointed out a few silver rays of light above his head, and those silver rays converged to form the shape of a pentagram, and then slowly fell, encircling Yuwei's bed with him. He lowered his hand and said to her in German, "Don't worry, I've set up a 'barrier' around me,[3] so that no one can hear you and me. ”

Yu Wei was deeply surprised by the series of strange spells performed by the other party, she never thought that there was really such a strange person in this world, she always thought that it was just a virtual plot in movies and science fiction novels, she was silent for a moment, and shook her head: "I don't want to ask more." But it's kind of clear that you can let me travel through time so lightly, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Presumably, this time trip is to achieve some kind of purpose for you, right? ”

"What a smart boy! It's really 'her's relatives! The man in black clapped his hands and smiled, "Not bad." It is for a certain 'mission' that I have to bring you here. As for what the 'mission' is, I can't tell you the truth. Someday, you'll know. His tone suddenly became sad, "I am very saddened by the death of your mother. So Vivi, promise me that you must live strongly, for the sake of the people you love and the people who love you! ”

Yu Wei nodded solemnly, secretly guessing that the "she" he said was referring to his mother? But it's often not as important as something. I couldn't help but blurt out: "Then sir, can I still go back?" If I can't return to the future for a long time in 'here', then wouldn't there be one more person in 'this' who shouldn't be in zài, and one less person in the future who should be in zài? Although I don't understand the so-called 'laws of time and space', this situation is bound to lead to some kind of 'time and space crisis', right? ”

"Exactly!" The man in black smiled slightly, and paced back and forth a few steps unhurriedly, "So when the 'mission' is completed, I will personally send you back to the future." The time is set when you wake up from a nap on the banks of the Rhine, so no one will find out that you have ever been missing. And you need to remember these four words—" he said softly, putting his lips to the other's ear, and then leaving her ear and staring at her, "if anyone insists on asking you where you came from, you will tell him so." ”

Yuwei chewed these words carefully, peach blossoms are her favorite flowers, and she secretly thought that her future life would be closely related to it? She looked at the man in black's calm and indifferent expression, and for a moment felt that he seemed to be able to understand all the mysteries of heaven and earth. was about to open her mouth to ask a detailed question, but saw the other party approaching her, reached out and stroked the jade earrings in her hair and the jade Guanyin hanging on her chest, and sighed, "Jade is indeed a holy object to ward off evil spirits." Especially this jade Guanyin, it must not be lost or damaged! ”

A seat made Yu Wei solemn, this jade Guanyin was the earnest admonition of her mother when she was a child. Now that her mother is deceased, it is a relic left by her mother, which means that her mother is still carefully guarding her. She shrugged, thinking that something so precious would be worn all the time, and that she would not take it off for a moment. How could she be damaged or lost?

Looking at Yu Wei's noncommittal expression, the man sighed secretly and handed her the things in his hand: "You forgot to bring it here." This thing will support you, comfort you, and put it away carefully for a period of time in the future. It's not too early, I have one more word to warn you: be careful of 'Andrew' and avoid meeting 'Andrew', remember! ”

"Sir, may I tell me who 'Andrew'? Who is he? Yu Wei found that the item in her hand was the flute she had forgotten 'over there', and looked up to ask. only to find that the figure and the pentagram enchantment he had set up earlier were gradually fading, turning into a little fluorescent, floating out of the window, and only the words "take care" came to her ears with the wind.

With that sentence, Yuwei fell into darkness again.

After some time, she felt someone shaking her vigorously, and Christina's voice faintly came to her ears: "Mia, hurry up!" Get up! Going to be late!! When she opened her eyes, she saw Christina standing in front of her bed in her pajamas, and it was already dark outside the window.

Yu Wei sat up from the bed, recalling the conversation with the mysterious man in black last night, the words were clear in her ears, but it felt like a fantasy, a qiē was so unreal.

"Could it be that I was dreaming?" Yuwei stroked her drowsy head, lifted the futon and was about to get up, but at a glance, she saw a bamboo flute lying quietly next to the pillow, and the sunlight shining in from the window, glowing with the unique luster of bamboo.

She held it tightly - it wasn't a dream!
