Chapter 146: The False Reality (Part 1)
"Dr. Terramon......?" Claire looked at him with some curiosity, "Who is it?" β
Hearing such an answer from the other party, Zhou Jialiang was shocked, as an old classmate of Krar's father, Teramon is a year-old friend between himself and Kral, I remember that from the time when I was sensible, I would always make an appointment with my good partner Claire, and run to each other's laboratory twice in three days to listen to him talk about those unclear scientific theories, and sometimes act as risk-free experimental subjects, his bizarre inventions, although not much innovative, but can always bring them endless happiness. Later, the three of them went on a camping expedition together and experienced all kinds of hardships and dangers...... It can be said that the existence of Teramon is a stroke that cannot be erased in their lives, but now that Kraal does not know each other, it is a bit unbelievable.
"Have you forgotten that treasure map you found in the attic floor!?" Zhou Jialiang persevered in his questioning, trying to evoke the other party's memories that seemed to have been lost.
"What treasure map?" Claire still looked like she didn't know anything, "I said Zhou, what's wrong with you today?" Is there something uncomfortable? β
Zhou Jialiang's expression was suddenly excited, and he grabbed Claire's shoulders on both sides: "I'm not uncomfortable, listen, we followed the treasure map you found to a place called "Disillusionment Zone", and then we were separated, there are guilds, wild areas, and ......"
Zhou Jialiang began to talk endlessly, and said all the mysterious things, and Klar was confused when he heard it, only to see him look at the best partner in front of him who was almost crazy with extremely strange eyes, and he was speechless for a while......
The afterglow of the sunset is sprinkled on the main road of the city during the rush hour after work and school, the whole city of Turin is about to usher in the night life, today is the national derby between the city's Bianconeri Juventus and Inter Milan, originally such a grand event can not be absent Zhou Jialiang and Clal, the two senior fans, but this time Zhou Jialiang politely refused to get a ticket Kral, walking alone aimlessly on the Verma street full of fans carnival, pushing a bicycle, lonely and depressed him, It seems to form a sharp contrast with everything around it.
He always felt that his encounter was not a dream at all, but it did exist, but for some reason it led to a deviation in consciousness and cognition, and it was indeed what he hoped to return to the real world, but the reality with obvious errors like this made him unacceptable, and the originally familiar person never appeared, which must have been a huge joke played by God on him.
In a trance, he was caught by a shop with a bland, unremarkable neon sign next to him, a very inconspicuous small shop, with a blue curtain hanging above the door head made of pine planks, outlined by blue neon lights, and in the middle were several Chinese characters that glowed in whiteβAoki Ryori.
It turned out to be a Japanese restaurant, Zhou Jialiang felt strange, in his impression, there are no Japanese restaurants on this street, there are only a few Chinese restaurants, and there are countless other coffee shops and taverns, on days like today, many people who have not bought tickets will go to the noisy tavern to watch the live broadcast, so in the Japanese restaurant in front of him, now there is not even a single customer except for the store, which seems to be extremely deserted, just like his mood at the moment.
Zhou Jialiang opened the curtain of the door and walked in, the wind chimes swaying at the door made a crisp and pleasant sound of rubbing, which was full of Japanese decoration, simple and bright, and a porcelain beckoning cat on the bar was waving to him.
"Good evening, what do you need?" The boss, a middle-aged Asian man with a white turban, was slightly chubby with a hearty smile on his face, beckoning Zhou Jialiang to sit in the nearest seat to the bar.
"Daddy, your phone!"
At this time, a young girl's voice came from upstairs, speaking Japanese.
"Got it!" After answering a sentence, the boss said apologetically to Zhou Jialiang, "I'm sorry, I have to go up to answer the phone first, you wait here for a while." β
"Okay, that's okay." Zhou Jialiang picked up the barley tea that the boss had made for him and took a sip.
After a while, a young girl walked down from upstairs, with long black hair and fair skin, who looked a few years older than Zhou Jialiang, and saw her hurriedly walk up to Zhou Jialiang: "I'm sorry, Dad is still calling, so let me receive you first, give, this is the menu." β
Zhou Jialiang lowered his head and took the menu and flipped through it, but the girl was still standing quietly beside herself.
"Just bring me a sushi platter." After Zhou Jialiang finished speaking, he handed the menu back to the other party.
"Okay, wait a minute."
At this time, Zhou Jialiang suddenly reacted, this voice seemed to have been heard somewhere, so he raised his head sharply and looked at the girl who was walking towards the kitchen, because he only saw the back, so he couldn't recognize the other party's appearance.
"Excuse me!" Zhou Jialiang subconsciously shouted.
At this point, the girl finally turned her head.
That face was so familiar, and there was a bit of stubbornness in his cold eyes......
"Tetsuko!?" Zhou Jialiang couldn't believe his eyes, "It's really you!" β
Tetsuko looked at him with extremely surprised eyes: "How do you know my name?" β
"I ......" Zhou Jialiang was speechless for a while, not knowing how to explain, judging from Tetsuko's current reaction, it is obvious that he does not know himself, just like Claire does not know everything about "Zone of Disillusionment".
After the call, the boss walked quickly down the stairs and said to Tetsuko, "Okay, you can go ahead and do your homework." β
"Got it."
After Zhezi finished speaking, he went upstairs by himself, obviously not caring about Zhou Jialiang's performance just now.
Zhou Jialiang, who left the Japanese restaurant after finishing his meal, glanced at the second floor with the lights on, and thought in his heart: "No, this must not be accidental!" If it was a dream, I wouldn't have dreamed of someone I'd never met before, or even be able to say their name accurately......"
At this time, Zhou Jialiang's mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he took it out, it turned out to be his mother calling.
"Hello? Mom. β
"Jialiang, why haven't you come back so late? Did you go to the game with Clal? β
Zhou Jialiang hesitated for a moment......
"What's wrong? Why don't you speak? β
"I ...... At Dr. Teramon's. Zhou Jialiang deliberately lied and wanted to test his mother again.
"What Dr. Teramon? Is it a teacher in your school? β
Zhou Jialiang hung up the phone, raised his head and took a deep breath, at this moment, he was completely desperate......
