Chapter 790: Despair and Hope (2)
I had trouble controlling my emotions.
If you say, Li Xingfang's matter makes me feel cold and dazed; The Xu Tie I met just now made me resentful and unwilling; Now, when I'm standing in the Aoba Paranormal Office, what I feel is despair.
I never doubted that Ye Qing was a very good person. Not to mention his ability to deal with supernatural events, but his determination to persevere after all kinds of tribulations is admirable.
Anyone, who kept losing their loved ones when he was young, and knowing the "truth" when he was older, may find it difficult to face his experience calmly, let alone someone like Ye Qing who is not discouraged and does not give up, turns into a ghost after death, and still insists on his own struggle.
I already admired him. Under admiration, it is a kind of trust. There is no reason for this kind of trust, it may be more because I was infected and moved by Ye Qing's life experience, so I chose to believe him from the subjective emotion. It is also through Ye Qing that I believe in myself.
In the past, I tried to convince myself that Ye Qing's choice was correct and would succeed.
He chose to use me to rescue the other members of Aoba. I've rescued two people.
And among Aoba's unfinished commissions, I also solved several of them.
Things are moving in a good direction.
I'm not an all-powerful superman, but I can save other people's lives.
until I heard about Li Xingfang......
I was really shaken.
According to the information provided by Chen Xiaoqiu, I changed the fate of Li Xingfang's family six years ago, but today, six years later, the tragedy is still happening. And this tragedy is closely related to what happened in the dream, and what I did.
After going around and around, fate is back to square one again.
So, what about the husband of Jin Haifeng, whom I saved earlier? What about Gu Mo and Nangong Yao I rescued?
Even......
What about the fat man I have come back from?
I just shuddered.
Of course people will die, and this is inevitable.
But after escaping death, he faced death again...... That escape from death is just a reprieve, and it feels completely different.
My efforts were in vain.
This is the real despair.
"What happened?"
Ye Qing's voice was remembered in the silent office, calm, indifferent, and without any emotion.
I came back to my senses, and then I remembered that Ye Qing probably didn't know what I was doing in my dream, and I didn't know what happened to Li Xingfang.
I shook, struggled to the couch, and sat down slowly.
It took a few deep breaths before I began to recount what had happened.
When I finished, the office was quiet again.
I felt the gaze cast on the couch opposite.
Looking up slightly, I saw the recess on the couch opposite.
The moonlight came in through the window, through the glass window and window paper, and when it entered the room, it was dimmed a little. In the hazy moonlight that fell on the sofa, there was an equally hazy figure.
I wasn't surprised.
"So, is Li Xingfang still alive?" Ye Qing was still so calm.
I was stunned.
My body began to tremble slightly, which made my movements of pulling out my phone not so smooth.
My mind went blank, but I dialed out the number uncontrollably.
Chen Xiaoqiu's voice was full of worry, "Lynch......"
"What about Li Xingfang?" I asked anxiously.
Chen Xiaoqiu was stunned on the other end of the phone, "He ...... on the island"
"No, I...... I want to get in touch with him...... Will he be able to answer the phone now? I asked.
Chen Xiaoqiu replied: "His original phone doesn't seem to be working. Well, I'll ask my uncle if I can find him. I asked him to contact you. ”
"Okay."
The phone hung up and I collapsed on the couch.
Li Xingfang is not dead.
Before I could change my past, Li Xingfang was dead. Otherwise, I would not have dreamed of him, let alone followed him, dreamed of his daughter, and changed the past.
This has become my small hope now.
Minutes and seconds passed.
I didn't speak, and neither did Ye Qing.
I don't know how long it took for my phone to ring.
The name displayed on the screen is Li Xingfang, but there is a note below, which is an international call.
I answered the phone right away.
When I answered the phone, I didn't know what to say.
"Lynch." Li Xingfang called my name, and his voice was unexpected, very calm, without any sadness, just like Ye Qing's voice just now.
I was so surprised that I just let out a soft "um".
"I, ah, I saw my wife and daughter that day, in a dream." Li Xingfang said slowly, "But my memory is a little confused. I remember that they had disappeared in the waters of Cruzano a few years ago, and they had told me who the killers were, but I had no way to bring them to justice, and I was ready to take a desperate gamble to kill the beasts...... However, I remember that it was not like that. The beasts are dead. Died in the sea. Even if no body has been found, no one has ever found a living person. My daughter told me that it was a mysterious force that saved them that day. The locals say it's Crewe, that's their god of the sea. She and my wife both believed it, and every year we went to Crusano to make sacrifices according to the local customs. I've never been there for so many years. I think it's a bit dangerous, because the Poseidon may have killed a lot of people, even though it probably killed all the bad guys...... Actually, I should say that it did what I couldn't do. But when I get there, there is still a possibility of some negative effects......"
Li Xingfang seemed to be back in the state of that night, patiently recounting his experience and his thoughts.
The repetition of the scene made me feel very uneasy.
I couldn't help but blurt out "Captain Li" and interrupted him.
"Actually, it wasn't Crewe who saved them." Li Xingfang said unmoved.
I was stunned.
"I see it...... The two of them took me to see it in my dream. Beneath the depths, deeper than the depths, Crewe is there. That's not a righteous thing. I could feel that they were ...... Although they should have no pain when they die, that thing is by no means a god that protects ordinary people. I think about it now, according to my daughter's description, it may have been a ghost who saved them, and it may have happened to be the ghost who was killed by Crewe. Li Xingfang let out a soft whimper, "If I had gone with them earlier, earlier, I would have dreamed of those ghosts." I'll know it's not Crewe, I'll stop them from continuing...... If it weren't for my fear......"
I opened my mouth, but I couldn't make a sound.
"Whew...... Don't worry, I've already explained to Chen Ju and my relatives at home. I also got in touch locally. For the rest of the day, I'll stay here. I signed up for a diving class and started learning the local language. I'll find that thing, find my family. Li Xingfang's voice became firm.
He had already made up his mind and would not waver again.
