Looking down at the still steaming cup noodles, Yu Siqi's vision blurred for a moment, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift into the air with the white smoke rising from it.

As for why Father Ann insisted on fulfilling his promise, he still did not think very clearly.

It is true that, in the priest's own words, it is 'keeping the word' that convinces others.

However, Yu Siqi did not fully agree with the priest's statement. It is not that he supports 'perfidy', but that the priest's explanation is incomplete.

For example, he completely avoided why he only let himself stay by Wan Jie's side after choosing to stay.

If Wan Jie, as a local, would be reasonable to stay and help. After all, she is indeed a very qualified guide, and she also has a certain combat power.

But when it comes to his own words, Yu Siqi really doesn't think that after the priest forbade him to use the technique of time, he can provide anything?

In terms of wisdom, even if he had a second ring now, he was far less clear of mind than Father Ann.

In terms of combat level, he doesn't even have the capital to fight against Wan Jie.

'I can't figure it out! ’

Yu Siqi sighed.

Along the way, there are too many problems that plague him.

A lot of times, because something of one kind or another happens, it's put on the back burner. Occasionally, there is a clue, and most of them are not immediately followed up, so that the problem cannot be completely solved, and then it has become one mystery after another.

It was with this additional concern that Yu Siqi realized. If he doesn't take the initiative a little more, maybe he will have to give his already overwhelmed heart a few more troubles that are difficult to end.

For this reason, Yu Siqi tightened his thoughts, looked at Father An who was drinking the soup with a firm gaze, and asked, "Can I ask you a few questions, Priest?" ”

"Don't you eat? The noodles are going to be cold. ”

As if he hadn't heard his question, Father An showed a considerable degree of concern about the uneaten noodles in Siqi's hand.

"I suddenly have no appetite."

Yu Siqi put the uneaten cup of noodles on the ground, crossed his fingers with his hands, and looked at Father An.

"Is it simply a lack of appetite, or is there another reason? Anyway, I hope you'll be able to take a few bites. After all, it's the most 'premium' food we can get. ”

Fr. Ann scooped the bottom of the cup with his fork and after making sure that no dehydrated vegetables were missing, he lowered his hand holding the cup.

"You know what I'm thinking, and you know what I'm trying to ask. But why do you choose to 'escape', Father? ”

In the face of Father An's deliberate evasive behavior, Yu Siqi felt that it was necessary to be more 'radical'. You know, he's actually quite hungry, just pretending.

"There are many ways to seek answers, and you seem to have picked the one I least liked. In this way, for the sake of you starting to 'toss' yourself like this, I will tolerate your 'willfulness' for the sake of it.

But let me say yes first, you can ask me anything. But on my side, there is no guarantee that I will be able to give a corresponding answer. ”

Father An wiped his mouth with a tissue, then looked at Yu Siqi and said.

The priest finally relented, and that's a good thing.

But the loss of hope in his words still made Yu Siqi a little embarrassed.

In fact, he himself knows very well that his approach is indeed not very clever. On the contrary, in the eyes of the other party, it is full of childishness.

"Why did you choose to fulfill your promise, Father?"

After convincing himself not to care about the 'details', Yu Siqi actively began to ask.

"Keeping a promise is a matter of course. I don't know why everyone, including you, is a little prejudiced against me. Is it because you have suffered too much betrayal in modern society? Or have you learned to adapt to lies and deception? ”

Father Ann asked disapprovingly.

"I didn't mean that, I just... I can't even say it myself. That's it, it's so awkward... I don't know if you understand what I mean, Father. ”

Yu Siqi said a lot of things to Father Ann in a confused way that he didn't quite understand himself, and the latter tilted his head, looked at him and said, "I'm sorry. While I admit that I am a little good at language, I really can't fully understand what you're trying to say. If it's convenient, I'd like you to rephrase it. After sorting things out, of course. ”

When Father An said this, Yu Siqi unexpectedly calmed down. He looked down at the instant noodles, which were almost cold, and took a big fork and stuffed it into his mouth.

Even though the noodles themselves are already cold, they are not as delicious as expected. But the feeling of fullness brought by sliding into his throat and rolling into his abdomen still made his physical condition much better.

Perhaps for this reason, Yu Siqi's thoughts began to become clearer than before. He had realized that his question had been asked the wrong question from the beginning.

For this reason, he deliberately brought out the content of the question in the following conversation.

"Then I'll be straight to the point, Father. Why did you choose to leave only me and Wan Jie to complete this agreement for you? ”

Yu Siqi asked while eating noodles.

"Finally got the point? I thought you'd continue to get lost in the wrong direction! Looks like I'm underestimating you.

Yes, you have a good point. Why should I let you stay with her, there is indeed my personal attention in this. ”

While answering Yu Siqi, Father An glanced at Wan Jie. After finding that she had finished eating noodles, she was sitting by the fire in a daze, and then turned her face back to Yu Siqi.

"First of all, let me tell you the reasons that I have come up with under conventional thinking.

First of all, as a local, she must be very responsible for the role of guide. You can't deny that, right?

Secondly, you have to admit that even if she loses her status as a 'tax officer', she is still a very strong woman.

Finally, don't you think she's in a special state right now? To be honest, I've been watching her for a while. It can be said that since you used the power of time to modify the 'so-called future', she has been in this state of 'soul and soul'. ”

Father An told Yu Siqi what he was thinking about and what he was considering, which made Yu Siqi quite embarrassed.

After all, Yu Siqi didn't think of this aspect at all, and he really couldn't compare it at all.

It was just as Siqi was engaged in 'self-reflection' that Father An spoke again: "As for why I want to keep you, this is better explained. After seeing your amazing time ability, I really feel that even if you leave everyone else, you can't compare to a person who can 'regret chess' at will! ”

In fact, Yu Siqi really doesn't think that Father An's last words about himself are sincere. However, he couldn't come up with a reasonable point of view to prove his guess, so he simply chose to give up.

After he had sucked the noodles clean, William, who had not been seen for a long time, floated among them and said, "Shengjia asked me to remind you that the two-hour appointment is almost running out. ”

"It's really, not a moment of leisure!"

Father Ann stood up and stretched.
