Chapter 18: Strange Things

I don't know how long it has been in the dark, as if I can't feel the passage of time......

"Ding~"

A crisp sound was like an elevator arriving at the destination floor, and the prompt sound to open the elevator door suddenly sounded in my head without warning.

Chu Yi woke up suddenly as if he heard a piercing alarm in his sleep, sat up from the bed, looked around, and finally determined that he was still staying at Zhu Yiqun's residence in Lingxiu Jiangnan.

"I ...... Alive?! ”

Looking at his clenched hands in disbelief, smell, hearing, perceiving...... Everything is back, and I can clearly feel the beating rhythm of my heart when I press my hands tightly on my chest.

What's going on?

Chu Yi frowned, and then quickly called up the countdown, and when he saw it, the whole person was stunned on the spot.

The weird blue font, the ':" sign that flashes every second, is still the original countdown, but it is not the original countdown, because the number has changed.

8759:59!

That is, 8759 hours and 59 minutes, if you record the minute that has passed, the total should be 8760.

"That's the number above the woman's head from before!"

Chu Yi has the ability to never forget, and he is also extremely sensitive to numbers, this look was immediately determined, isn't this the number above the head of the crying mother who saw it on TV in the hospital ward?

How did it add to the countdown to his life?

Was it because she rescued her daughter?

That's the correlation between overhead numbers and countdowns?

A series of questions emerged in his brain, and Chu Yi calmly analyzed, trying to sort out a clear logical line.

8,760 hours, that is, three hundred and sixty-five days, that is, one year, I have now extended my life to one year!

These numbers are life for themselves, but what are they for that mother?

Her daughter was rescued and returned to her side, she will definitely be grateful, could it be a quantified gratitude?

Although these things sound a bit fantastical, but the memories of Chu Yi who traveled to this world by himself and fused this world are very magical and incredible, and now even if he suddenly arrives in an alien spaceship, he can quickly accept it.

I took out my phone and searched for the latest news content.

It was found that the rescued children had made headlines, along with a photo of the mother holding her daughter and weeping gratefully.

It seems that it is indeed the value of human gratitude!

Chu Yi threw his phone aside, frowning worriedly, he thought he could enjoy life freely, but he was constrained and restricted by a countdown to life, if he wanted to live, he had to do good deeds to gain gratitude.

And this gratitude is not everywhere, it can only be found in certain people!

Depend on!

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a big head.

But he also secretly felt lucky, if he hadn't met those two traffickers, if he hadn't hated the traffickers to the core, he would definitely not have made a move, then when the countdown was over, he would never have woken up.

Looking at it from another angle, if he has gained enough health and it takes a hundred years or even a thousand years for the time countdown to end, then wouldn't he be able to live for a hundred years and a thousand years?

What a complete old youkai!

Chu Yi couldn't help but shudder, feeling a little frightened.

"Knock knock~"

The door of the room was knocked three times, and then Zhu Yiqun's duck-like voice came from outside: "King Chu, come out quickly, let's go down to eat, fucking starve to death." ”

Chu Yi put on his glasses, walked out, and asked curiously, "Where is your cousin?" ”

"It's crazy to go crazy with her classmates, their senior students only have one day off a week, and they have classes tomorrow, she must hurry up and play, let's leave her alone." Zhu Yiqun said.

"Oh"

Chu Yi nodded, and he asked casually, but he didn't really care about that girl.

This meal was paid by Chu Yi, and the relationship with Zhu Yiqun is really good, but one yard is one yard, and the money for the meal is still derived, and Zhu Yiqun can't always be made to pay.

"By the way, King Chu, why don't you buy some cooking guys, cook and eat by yourself every once in a while, it's very expensive to go to the restaurant all day long." Zhu Yiqun proposed.

"There's no need."

"Why?"

Chu Yi glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "You do it?" ”

"I'm a woollen yarn, I don't have the talent to cook at all, and the ghosts will eat everything I make!" Zhu Yiqun picked his teeth with a toothpick and walked side by side with Chu Yi.

"That's not it."

Chu Yi spreads his hands, he can do it, even if he can't easily master it with just a little learning, but he is too lazy to do it, and it is absolutely impossible for him to cook.

"That's okay, my cousin has a lot of schoolwork, even if it's not heavy, she can't count on it, it seems that we can only go to the restaurant or order takeout every day." Zhu Yiqun smacked his lips and said.

"Bell bell bell ~"

At this time, Chu Yi's mobile phone had an incoming call, and the ringtone was pure music that came with the system, and there were no bells and whistles at all.

"It can't be that Gu Meinu is coming to redeem you, right?" Zhu Yiqun jokingly guessed.

Chu Yi glanced at him: "It's an unfamiliar number." ”

"Isn't this it, I'm afraid you won't answer, so I'll call you with an unfamiliar number." Zhu Yiqun said with a smile.

Chu Yi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, slid away to the right, and answered.

"Hello."

"Hello, is it Teacher Chu Yi?"

A woman's voice sounded on the other end, very relatable.

Call me a teacher?

Could it be someone from Xiacheng University?

Chu Yi secretly thought in his heart, although he decided not to go to the school to be a teacher in the original path of Chu Yi, but he did not contact Xiacheng University to say that he would not go there to teach, and now he is calling to urge him to go to the school to take office?

Politely asked, "I am, who are you?" ”

"My surname is Guo, my husband wants to meet you, do you have time now?" The woman's voice was filled with longing.

"I'm sorry, I'm busy."

Chu Yi bluntly refused and was ready to hang up.

"Teacher Chu Yi, wait, my husband, he ...... He is terminally ill and is about to undergo the first stage of chemotherapy, and until then, his greatest wish is to see you......" said the woman.

Terminally ill?

Is your biggest desire to see yourself?

Chu Yi's mind was full of doubts, and in his impression, he didn't seem to know anyone who regarded him as so important.

He asked, "Who is your husband?" ”

"My husband, his name is Li Yude, and he is a teacher at Xiacheng University." The woman said in a calm tone.

Chu Yi is very sure that he doesn't know this Li Yude, but why did Li Yude clearly ask to see him?

Strange thing, really strange thing!

"Teacher Chu Yi, please come and see my husband, if I don't see you, my husband refuses to accept treatment, please leave it to you." The woman pleaded.
