Chapter 2: The Eve: This dead house is not too cold

"Qi You..."

"This year is 12 years old, July 22 is your birthday every year, and seven days later, it will be your thirteenth birthday."

"Your parents died in an accident when you were in the third grade of primary school, and you have been living with your grandfather since then. In the second semester, you move back to your former home, live alone, and return to your grandfather's house every weekend to visit your grandfather and grandmother. ”

With every word I said, Qi You's eyes became more and more strange and shocked. Then she walked briskly in front of me, raised her little finger to me, and stammered:

"You...... Where are you from... Heard of this? ”

Although her actions were a little rude, I didn't take it to heart, and still said to myself: "When you were in the second grade of elementary school, you once had a black fawn dog named Yoyo, and then it got lost, and you were sad for a while. ”

"You ......"

"And now, you like the study committee member in the class, surnamed Meng, because he often helps you with your homework. But you didn't confess to him because you felt that a nerd with good grades like him might not be interested in this kind of thing. Moreover, you are also afraid that the first confession will end in failure. ”

"Who the hell are you!?" Qi You shouted at me in horror and uneasiness.

"I... Things are a bit complicated, and I hope you can try to calm down now and listen to me explain to you slowly. Under Qi You's complicated eyes, I raised my left hand, pinched the bridge of my nose repeatedly with my thumb and forefinger from top to bottom, organized a speech, and said in a suppressed voice:

"Your world will usher in a catastrophe tonight, and this catastrophe will eventually lead to the demise of humanity - hey, dare to look at me with that 'psychotic' look again, do you believe that I beat you up?"

“…… You... Are you God? Qi You stared at me timidly.

"Me? I'm just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who has fallen into blood mold. I pouted, "Okay, that's all, let me hear it first." ”

"Hmm... In the future, you became a fighter for humanity, but in the end you failed. And at that time, you found me living in another world, and asked me to save your world. ”

"I... Why did I find you? ”

"That's because... Eh, there's something wrong with your focus, right? Shouldn't you ask me questions about that disaster? ”

“…… You... Are you filming an entertainment show? Qi You's eyes lit up, as if she had found a reason to "convince herself to face this incredible thing in front of her", and after speaking, she also glanced at my clothes, "Where is your miniature camera hidden?" ”

"Do you think that if I were a show host, I would know your past so thoroughly? Everything I have just said has been revealed to me by you in the future. ”

I took my backpack and took out the "paper with tool instructions" from it, and then took out another piece of paper from my coat pocket that "the future Qi You" had left for me, and handed them to Qi You in pairs.

"The contents of these two pieces of paper were written to me by you in the future, if you look closely, you should be able to distinguish your own handwriting, right?"

Qi You stared at the two pieces of paper I handed her with wide eyes, and hesitated for a long time in silence before raising his hands and pinching them hard, but he didn't look at the paper at the first time.

"Uncle, you... You must be kidding me, right? ”

At this point, I could see her fingers trembling slightly, and the smile on her face seemed strange and far-fetched, and I sighed and didn't explain anything more.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Qi You had no choice but to devote his attention to the two pieces of tissue paper in her hand.

Seeing this, I let out a heavy breath and leaned back on the back of the couch, facing the ceiling with my face closed.

After a few minutes, I felt the surface of the couch beside me suddenly sink down. I opened my eyes, turned my head to look, and found that Qi You had already sat next to me, her delicate and delicate little face was full of determination, she took a deep breath, looked up at me with a little face, and asked:

"Uncle, what the hell should I do? You're going to help me, right? There was apprehension and plea in her voice.

"Yes, you don't have to worry about that, I can only return to my world if I successfully solve your problem. So, I'll do my best to help you. ”

“…… Well... Well! Thank you, uncle. ”

I looked at Qi You's strong appearance when she smiled, and suddenly understood: why she became an excellent fighter in such a short period of time.

"I know that even now, you still have doubts in your heart. Because I'm the same, I also hope that all this in front of me is actually just a dream, and when I wake up, my life will return to its original trajectory. But it did happen, and we had to face it. ”

"Uncle, I feel like you're so organized, what do you do?"

"Student, part-time street writer."

"The network... Writers? Can you find a novel in my world? ”

"It shouldn't be possible." You know, the world you're in is actually my novel.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

"Go to dinner and fill your stomach first." I slung my backpack to my shoulder and turned to look at Qi You, "Is there anything you want to eat, I'll have a treat." After thinking about it, I added again: "Don't think about saving me money, just go and eat open." ”

“…… Pizza Hut, is that okay? ”

"Of course."

……

Half an hour later, in a Pizza Hut restaurant.

I sat face to face with Qi You, looking at Qi You who ate the food on the plate cleanly and did not waste a single thing, and a feeling of guilt rose in my heart for no reason.

Both parents died at a young age, and he lived with his grandfather, and his grandfather's family conditions were not rich, so he didn't have to think about it, he knew how unsatisfactory Qi You's life had been over the years.

And all of this is precisely what I indirectly caused.

"Uncle, why don't you eat?" Qi You asked me.

I took a sip of the iced juice in my cup and pushed the untouched roast beef tenderloin in front of me towards her, "You eat, I'll lose weight." ”

"Giggles, uncle, you're not fat, what kind of fat are you going to lose."

"You eat, I usually eat less at night."

Qi You nodded at me, picked up a roasted beef tenderloin with a fork, and put it on his plate, "Uncle, can we succeed?" ”

"yes, definitely." I promised Qi You that I was actually encouraging myself.

"Uncle..."

"Huh?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"......," I bit down on my straw, "why did I suddenly remember to ask this question." ”

"Giggles, it's nothing, I just feel like you're a good person."

Well, you're nice and gentle, really. However, I will not be with the dead house.

"Uncle, have you watched "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"?"

"Yes." I waited for Qi You's next step. I really enjoyed the movie played by Natalie. Portman's role as the little girl, as well as Jean's play. The killer uncle played by Renault.

"I think we're in a little bit like the two of them." Qi You said to me with a smile, "Uncle, if you can be more stylish and mature, it will be more like." ”

"Okay, eat yours quickly, if someone has someone in the house, I will still be worried here." I gave Qi You a blank look.

"Hahaha..."
