Chapter 57: The Choice of Life and Death
Li Xushui witnessed the tragedy of this whole scene, his expression did not fluctuate at all, and then he looked at Li Xumu and said: "This ability is indeed the eye of life and death, but the person who has this ability is me, and my consciousness is in your body." This correlation between us is not clear. So it's easier to simply be a person. You are ordinary, but you are destined not to be ordinary. ”
Li Xumu looked at the boy who was knocked away, lying in a pool of blood, the surrounding crowd was in a panic, and the exclamated crowd passed through his body one by one, some called an ambulance, and some used their mobile phones to take pictures and videos. And the only people who now know that the boy is dead are probably two people.
Li Xumu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he had obviously seen that this boy was a dying person, no matter how he shouted, it was useless, he could only watch a young life be buried. It's a really uncomfortable feeling to experience someone else's death and be powerless to do anything about it. Whether it is others or yourself, knowing the time of death in advance will be a heavy pressure and burden.
It's really better to be an ordinary person. Li Xumu asked Li Xushui: "Since your consciousness is still alive, is there any possibility of resurrection?" Instead of being in my body all the time. ”
Li Xushui put his hands back in his trouser pockets, raised his head and said, "I will care more about this matter than you." For such a long time, sometimes I will borrow your body to look up some relevant clues and information. There is indeed one case that is more similar to our situation, except that they are acquired, and through a sorcery called symbiosis, the consciousness of two people is bound to one person. There was no clue to anything else, let alone the stripped of one of them's consciousness and resurrected. ”
Li Xumu was terrified in his heart after hearing this, it seemed that his consciousness had not only been replaced by him once before, all he knew was that he had sleepwalked so many times, and there might be more times if he didn't know, such as the one he mentioned just now that he had investigated the matter of symbiosis.
"Heh, don't worry, the next time I borrow my body from you, I will communicate with you in advance like now." Li Xushui took a hand out of his trouser pocket and snapped his fingers, and the bustling city around him disappeared in an instant, turning into a white mist.
"Where is this again?!" Li Xumu was taken aback by this sudden change in the scene, only to see that there was no end in sight around him, just endless white.
"Your physical body has never actually appeared, and our conversation at this moment is just a communication between two consciousnesses. And I chose to meet you today because I have a message to share with you. Li Xushui snapped his fingers again, and two figures appeared in the white mist.
The figure on the left, Li Xumu recognized it at a glance, that person was Han Wei.
And Han Wei actually had a yellow two-digit number on the top of his head! Li Xumu immediately became nervous, realizing that the yellow number represents the hour, which means that Han Wei will die in a few dozen hours?!
Li Xumu extrapolated the time of death of the number backwards and came to an astonishing conclusion. Isn't this just the time for Han Wei's topic tomorrow night?! Han Wei will die in the first project?!
Then looking at the figure on the right, Li Xumu's heart throbbed again.
It was the back of a long-haired girl, familiar and unfamiliar. On the top of her head is a yellow two-digit number that is not much different from Han Wei's.
"Zhao Yunuo?!" recalled that Zhao Yunuo failed to answer the phone, which further confirmed the speculation that she was now in danger.
Li Xumu looked at the backs of the two people in astonishment, and the death number that was counting down.
"That's the message I want to share with you. Predicting the time of death in advance has the advantage of taking some rescue measures in advance, and now the two people happen to be in danger of their lives almost at the same time, I am very curious, as Li Xumu's consciousness, if you need to make a choice, what will happen? Save one, and the other may be goodbye forever. Li Xushui's gloomy face seemed to carry a little expectation.
Two extremely important people in their lives are in danger at the same time. To rescue one while not being able to take care of the other.
One is a brother in the present, and the other is a person who was and is still attached to the past.
After thinking for a while, Li Xumu's face was surprisingly calm at this time, and he asked Li Xushui in a calm voice: "If it were you, what would you choose?" ”
Li Xu replied expressionlessly: "People's life and death are determined by heaven, human intervention may cause more serious consequences than now, if it were me, I would not risk saving anyone." ”
When Li Xumu heard this, he sneered, as if he had already expected his answer.
"So, this is the difference between us, I, Li Xumu, am still me. My answer is to save both. ”
Li Xushui also smiled, having been in the same body for so long, he had long guessed that Li Xumu would make such a decision.
So he asked, "That's your decision?" I said that I will not interfere with your body to do anything, and since you have to choose so, I will bear all the consequences with you, because I am you. ”
Li Xushui looked at the top of his head as he spoke.
Seeing the other party's abnormal behavior, Li Xumu also looked at the top of his head and found that a double-digit yellow number was slowly emerging.
“!!!” Li Xumu chuckled in his heart, since Li Xushui showed the countdown to death, then...
Li Xumu swallowed his saliva, raised his neck stiffly, looked at the top of his head, and found that the same number as Li Xushui appeared on the top of his head!
The time of their own death... The countdown even began...!!
Li Xushui looked at Li Xumu in a panic, his expression showed that he had already expected everything, and said: "I said that those human emotions will become an obstacle to survival in this school. And if you choose to do so, the end will be the price of your own life. ”
Li Xumu's eyes were round, his brows were furrowed, and he lowered his head. If he saves the lives of these two people at the same time, he will die, so what kind of dangerous situation will Han Wei and Zhao Yunuo face in the near future... Other words... In the process of rescuing them, you will also be in danger and lose your life...
recalled that she saved Lu Xiaoyi at that time, but the aunt who was supposed to die was killed by Zhao Qian's ghost, this is the butterfly effect that Leng Jue said at the time? !
"Heh, I already guessed that you would choose this way, and it is a matter of your life and mine, so I choose to meet you now. The purpose is also to discuss with you, and at this time, it is up to my consciousness to make some preparations in advance. Maybe it will not only help them escape the fate of death, but it may also save you, Li Xumu's life. ”
Listening to Li Xushui's cold voice, Li Xumu looked over with sharp eyes.
"You're saying that acting on your consciousness could save them both, as well as my life?"
Li Xushui nodded and said, "I mean it's up to me for the time being." Again, I'm doing this for the sake of our lives. ”
Seeing that Li Xumu didn't speak, Li Xushui kept approaching, and said as he walked: "Life or death, I'm not sure, I'm destined to see you again." ”
Li Xumu was about to speak, but his voice suddenly choked in his throat, and he took a deep breath, Li Xumu opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed in the dormitory.
Sitting up from the bed all of a sudden, I found that everything in the dormitory was still the same as before, and it seemed that I had returned to the normal world, and looked at the top of my head, it was empty, and there were no more countdown deaths.
"Could it be that he's settled everything?! Or is it... The ability to predict death is the same as ever, but it can't be seen anymore?! Li Xumu looked out the window, it was already dark, and it seemed that after coming out of the cafeteria, he had been asleep until now.
Glancing at the time on his mobile phone, Li Xumu gasped, now this time is not the day he came out of the cafeteria! It's been a day and a night, and it's the next night!
It is now 19:45, which means that Han Wei's project at twelve o'clock will start tonight?!! Then according to the number I saw Han Wei just now, the time of death is approaching!
Other words... Zhao Yunuo's numbers, as well as his own, are not over, but he can't see those numbers for the time being.
So what did Li Xushui do with his body in this day and night?
Just when Li Xumu was thinking nervously, Jia Shengtao stood at the door and looked over in astonishment, and said, "Wake up so soon!?" You've just been lying down and falling asleep for less than 10 minutes. ”
"Huh?! Where have I been since yesterday? Li Xumu still remembers that after he and Jia Shengtao came out of the cafeteria, they fainted for a while, and then they saw Li Xushui in the illusion, and after agreeing to Li Xushui's consciousness, he completely lost consciousness until he woke up from this bed.
Jia Shengtao put down the kettle he was holding and said: "At that time, we walked out of the cafeteria together, and we found that you were almost dying, not saying a word, very painful, but after a while, you returned to normal, but your expression and way of speaking were completely different from usual, just said hello, said that you were going to deal with something else, and then left alone, and never came back all night!" I didn't go back to the dormitory until just now, and said that I was very tired and went to sleep directly, but I woke up less than 10 minutes after you lay down, have you forgotten all this?! ”
Li Xumu didn't speak, and lowered his head with a solemn expression. It seems that he was controlled by Li Xushui's consciousness at that time, but where did he go and what did he do?
At this time, a strange call came.
Li Xumu answered cautiously, and Leng Jue's familiar lazy voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm glad that you joined, as a condition for you to join the psionic group, the vulture will participate in Han Wei's first project, I believe that the vulture will guarantee the safety of your friend's life." ”
When Li Xumu heard the cold phone call, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Now I suddenly felt a faint pain on the outside of my calf, and when I lifted my trouser leg, I found that my skin was engraved with the same tattoo as on the tip of Leng Jue's eyebrows. There was redness and swelling around the tattoo, and I slowly even felt some discomfort in my whole leg.
Li Xushui actually let himself join the psionic group?!
Before hanging up the cold phone, Li Xumu noticed a piece of paper next to the pillow, on which was his own handwriting, and wrote:
"If you want to save Zhao Yunuo, rush to the Yinshui River ferry in the southern district before 12 o'clock tonight."
