Chapter Twenty-Seven: Li Xuan
The clear blue sky is like a clear sapphire, as far as the eye can see.
Outside the window, a few sparrows perched on snow-covered branches, making a soft chirping.
Inside the window,
Li Xiaoxuan carefully read the contents of the newspaper several times, and only then put it aside until he completely memorized it.
"The Unexplored World...... Interesting...... Are we the first tourists......"
Lifting the thin quilt covering his body, he was about to turn over and get out of bed, but found that his left leg was slightly stiff, as if it was fixed, and he couldn't move.
Shocked, Li Xiaoxuan threw the quilt directly off the bed, and immediately discovered the crux of the problem. The left calf was covered with a thick plaster cast and wrapped several layers of white gauze inside and out, and I felt a little happy inexplicably.
"Who got me this...... I? ”
At this time, Li Xiaoxuan suddenly had a small fragment of memory in his mind that did not belong to him.
This is an American high school student named "Li Xuan". An ordinary and pitiful guy.
A month ago, several classmates intercepted "Li Xuan" on the way home and asked to "borrow" 1,000 US dollars.
While dragging his bruised body home, a motorcycle that happened to pass by crushed his left leg, and the pain caused him to faint......
"Li Xuan" woke up again and was already in the hospital. Unfortunately, there was a severe bacterial infection of the wound that required immediate surgery, and if the results were not good, there was a risk of amputation.
The god of luck still favored "Li Xuan" a little, and the subsequent operation was very successful!
Yesterday, the doctor said that the wound is recovering well and that he just needs to go home and recuperate. But just last night, "Li Xuan" quietly cut the blood vessels on his wrist with a blade.
He committed suicide!
The real "Li Xuan" had died of hatred last night, and the corpse and blood stains were all lost under the adjustment of Happy Valley.
Even his parents' impression of "Li Xuan" has changed.
To put it simply, the current situation is: Li Xiaoxuan has replaced "Li Xuan", he can continue to use this identity in this world, or he can break away from him and ignore nothing.
It's just an identity.
It's a giveaway from Happy Valley - love or not.
Sometimes Happy Valley does this, but most of the time, visitors come to Nightmare World as they are, and at most they will be given some money and ID.
Li Xiaoxuan encountered a small probability event!
Slowly sorting through the memories in his head, he looked around.
A few meters in front of the window, there is a simple writing desk with a pen holder and a few sheets of A4 paper. There was also a laptop next to it, which was placed on a shelf similar to a computer desk, which made Li Xiaoxuan's eyes light up.
There was also a cupboard and a lamp next to the bed, a white carpet on the floor, and a pair of cotton slippers with sika deer printed on them were placed in front of the door.
The 40-square-meter room is a little empty with only these things, but it also has a refreshing feeling.
On the bedside table on the right-hand side, there is a toothed blade with a hint of red on the blade.
Looking at the blade, Li Xiaoxuan tried to search the memory in his brain, but after searching for a long time, he did not find any reason for "Li Xuan's" suicide. It was as if it had been deliberately erased, and the answer was waiting for him to find out for himself.
They are all miserable people.
The color on the blade stained half of the eye mask red, and Li Xiaoxuan suddenly felt some sympathy for "Li Xuan" in his heart.
He got out of bed, put one foot in his slipper, and walked his hands over the crutches against the wall to sit down in front of his laptop.
It's 2002, and all kinds of technologies are not developed, so the time for the computer to turn on is very slow, which makes Li Xiaoxuan, who is used to the boot speed of the SSD, quite uncomfortable.
Still didn't turn on smoothly.
The screen finally gets stuck on the login screen, and it pops up a window prompting you to enter your password.
All right......
It doesn't seem to be so easy to get some information. Li Xiaoxuan also extinguished this thought, and returned his attention to the main quest this time: the missing daughter.
Professor Holland's youngest daughter, Jenny (who attends Allen Forest Girls' High School), has gone missing, and the mission description makes it clear that the goal at this stage is to find his daughter.
But the specific recovery criteria are not mentioned.
To die, or to live, or...... Want to be half-dead?
In the memory fragments, there is no description of Professor Holland, but there is still some impression of "Allen Forest Girls' High School", at least the geographical location is still clear.
Glancing out of the window at random, Li Xiaoxuan was speechless to see that Gao Ji was actually under the apartment. The flower monk did not wear a monk's robe, but changed into a bloated down jacket, wearing snow pants on his lower body, and nothing on his head.
"Tom, why don't you use crutches...... Quick, hurry up and set it up. ”
The beautiful female voice quickly approached from afar, and with that memory, Li Xiaoxuan didn't have to look back to know that it was his mother who came.
No, to be precise, it was "Li Xuan"'s mother Alice.
Looking at the blonde and blue-eyed sexy woman beside him, he was a little uncomfortable calling each other mom for a while.
Shouldn't you whistle at this time? It's embarrassing to call "Mom".
According to memory, she is Li Xuan's mother, and Tom is her English name. Li Xuan's father was a Chinese who died early, died when Li Xuan was three years old, and grew up in a single-parent family, which caused him to have some inferiority complex and introverted personality.
In the United States, especially in some small towns with poor security, Chinese Americans are a very unpopular group. In order to better integrate into the campus, Li Xuan forcibly asked his mother to change her name to Tom when she was 7 years old.
This move proved to be of little effect other than consuming manpower and material resources. The classmates who bullied him would not pity him because he changed his name to Tom, let him go, not pay attention to his classmates, and would not come together to make friends with him because he changed his name to Tom.
Nothing has changed!
"Okay, Mom." Li Xiaoxuan smiled, took the crutches and put them under his armpits.
"Mom...... Mom? ”
Alice was a little stunned and repeated the word twice. How many years has Tom not called his mom, the last time it seemed to be when he was seven and a half years old?
Alice can't remember, it was a long time ago, anyway. She reached out and touched Li Xiaoxuan's forehead, and after confirming that he did not have a fever, she silently went out to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Walking out of his room, Li Xiaoxuan didn't rush downstairs to find Gao Ji, he first walked around this apartment.
Three bedrooms and two living rooms, the entrance is designed to be very bright, and the delicate crystal lamp shines slightly under the sunlight, reflecting a few colored lights.
The home is very warmly furnished, at least Li Xiaoxuan is willing to live in such an environment.
But when he saw the man at the living room table, Li Xiaoxuan's face turned cold.
Jar Smith,
Employees of a small company,
Alice's first love.
