Chapter 33: The Heart of the Tin Man (1)
In the afternoon, Star Swirl returns to the café and book bar, but Mr. X is nowhere to be seen, she orders a cup of coffee and waits.
"Xuanyue, your latte." Gu Yi lightly placed the coffee on the table, with a shy smile on his face. Star Swirl nodded as Gu Yi opened his mouth, and finally returned to the workbench without asking anything. Star Swirl picked up the cup and noticed that there was a love latte art on the coffee, and looked up again at Gu Yi's gaze from a distance, and he looked a little uncomfortable, and quickly pretended to bow his head to play with his phone.
didn't wait for Mr. X to come back, but waited for the "incident" to come. The energy lock vibrates, and Star Swirl sits at the table next to her a woman reading a book with a stroller in her hand and a one-year-old child asleep in it. Star Swirl looked at her quietly, and it was not difficult to tell from the way the woman was dressed that her family background was very solid, but there was no clue to the negative energy in her expression.
Flawless makeup, no specific age, and a shallow smile on his face all the time. Star Swirl can't help but wonder if the wife, who can enjoy a leisurely afternoon with a cup of coffee, won't be trapped by life, so could it be her other half? Marriage and family were not yet known to Star Swirl, and she was only guessing in ignorance.
"I'm in a daze again." Mr. X's languid voice catches in his ears, and Star Swirl looks up at him, her eyes falling on his thin, glossy lips, and unconsciously closes her eyes. "Are things going well today?" Mr. X sat down on the opposite side. Star Swirl held out her hand to him, "Do you want to share?" He shook his head: "Nothing special, you don't have to report it to me." Star Swirl's hand froze in mid-air, stunned for a moment, and then withdrawn in embarrassment.
"Empathy should already be ready to go?" Mr. X continued to ask. Star Swirl nodded, "I feel like there's more room to play, but I'm not sure when to create the illusion." Mr. X thought for a moment and replied, "It's not difficult, just let Mr. Lu add a function key later." As the energy lock continues to improve, so does your ability to handle events, do you feel the frequency of encountering events increasing? Hearing him mention the frequency, Star Swirl gestured with her eyes, "There's something new here." Mr. X glanced at the woman at the next table, a rare look of surprise on his face: "This person's file is in the space." "So she's been purified?" Star Swirl was amazed. Mr. X rubbed his temples with his index finger and said with a complicated expression: "This situation is rare. "So what should I do?" "Doing nothing, it's beyond our jurisdiction."
After sitting here for a short while, Gu Yi frequently cast his attention to him, and Mr. X leaned lazily on the sofa and said with a smile: "From a friend to a fanatical suitor?" Star Swirl said solemnly, "Didn't you say I wouldn't cross paths with him again?" Mr. X was amused by her serious little face, and his smile deepened a little: "And you may not, and Li Xuanyue is unknown." Star Swirl frowned, anger in her tone, "Will you still be forced to remember clearly?" Or do you have some other bad effect? ”
Mr. X spread his hands, "I can't predict everything," and then smiled, "You seem to care about him?" "Of course, we've known each other for more than a decade." Star Swirl frantically confesses. "Your friends should be in your own space, not here." After saying this, Mr. X stopped talking. Li Xingxuan fell into contemplation, his own space? So what is it now?
This night, Li Xingxuan dreamed again. In the dream, the back of a woman appeared, and the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her was the vast night, "Look, the stars outside are twinkling and twinkling." She patted the child on her shoulder and held out a hand into the night. With a click, the window opened, and a gust of wind poured in and ruffled her hair, "Maybe, we'll be stars too......" she muttered, stepping out of the window...... "Don't!" Star Swirl screams as she wakes up from her dream. There was still a familiar room in front of her, the head of the bed was shining with a warm yellow light, and she wiped the cold sweat on her head with her hand, could this be the woman she had seen during the day?
Li Xingxuan, who couldn't sit idly by and ignore it, spent a morning anxiously in D, and took advantage of his lunch break to investigate the woman in his dreams. Since the energy lock didn't give a location, she had to ask Mr. X after thinking about it.
"Isn't it a part-time job today?" Mr. X frowns when Star Swirl appears at the café book bar again. Star Swirl ran too fast, panting and said, "I left the house too early in the morning to tell you that I dreamed of that woman jumping off a building last night." Mr. X was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Follow me." The two drove to a stop in front of the White Building. What to do in SPACE? Star Swirl thought he would take him straight to the woman. I'll show you her profile. Mr. X replied.
Star Swirl takes a closer look during her second visit, noticing that entering the space involves three doors, one for ID cards, fingerprints, and one for an eye mask, but she doesn't remember the last time she visited. Walking down the hall, Mr. X taps on the computer keyboard for a moment and says to Star Swirl, who is looking around, "Come and see." ”
The screen shows the woman's information, name: Zhao Lu, age: 30, occupation is a housewife, and the family relationship column is filled in with her husband and daughter. Energy source background: resentment due to her husband's cheating. Mr. X poked his finger at the bottom corner of the screen: "The purification time is two years ago. "So the rule is that it can't be purified twice?" Star Swirl asks. Mr. X's gaze at Star Swirl turned cold, "Don't worry about this anymore, do you understand?" Star Swirl nodded silently, but kept Zhao Lu's home address in mind.
Unexpectedly, when Star Swirl returned to D in the afternoon, she met Zhao Lu again. Although he was just passing by in the hallway, he felt a strong vibration of the energy lock. As a human being, in addition to seeking advantage and avoiding harm, there is also a strong sense of curiosity, so Star Swirl follows and turns on the sharing feature where no one is around.
A spacious and bright room appeared in front of her, and Zhao Lu sat on the sofa with her daughter in her arms, as if she was reading a storybook, "Dorothy asked the Tin Man, 'What do you want most?'" The Tin Man lowered his tin head, thought for a moment, and said, 'Do you think Ozhi will give me a heart?' ''I think he will, it's easy.'' The baby in her arms made a babbling sound, Zhao Lu looked down at her lovely daughter, with a pair of big eyes and long eyelashes, very similar to Zhao Lu, "Is it really easy to have a heart?" ”
